    Just did my first lifting workout on my new diet (2500kcal, 200g protein). Maybe it was just a bad day or something but it was much more difficult than I was used to and I felt uhh, weak and exhausted like a third of the way through. Does it get better?

    From the patch notes, the 1.2 did pretty much nothing for me, but who knows what else it fixed. I finished my playthrough of one map, brought two survivors to a new community, spent 10 minutes rerolling a decent survivor, then quit 2 minutes into the playthrough and probably won't look back...

    I'm switching to a cut now and took another progress pic. Below left is me right before I jumped off keto in Oct 2017 @ 192lbs. I started working out more seriously about two months ago. I was 217lbs at that point, but didn't take a progress pic. Below right is tonight @225lbs. I'm 6'2" I...

    I havne't followed this much but I hear it frequently recommended to LEO-types looking for strength + endurance training, which to me is "How can I run down some perp, tackle him, and then subdue him.": You might also learn a lot from: getting_started - Fitness But I think following that...

    What is safer about a clean pull vs a deadlift?
  16. Tuco

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    The disagreement we have is two fold: 1. I think you're way overestimating the risk, and I think you've failed to prove that someone attempting to hold proper form is at risk for injury. 2. I think you're undestimating the reward. You can't just replace the deadlift with a back extension. I'm...

    No. I think a small minority of lifters get injured doing deadlifts, but nearly everytime they are doing deadlifts incorrectly. I feel like how obscure of an incident this was (female, crossfit lifter, 4 years ago, wide variety of challenging athletics done) is the example you pull up is...

    Nice example. From a crossfitter of all things. There is a reason why this conversation was kicked off by a video of Trump Jr doing the lift totally wrong and the lifting community reacting to it really strongly.

    Also, @Lendarios maybe I'm in an information bubble, but I haven't seen a single successful lifter (by successful I mean are able to lift a lot of weight) who says that deadlifts should be avoided. Nor have I seen a physical therapist or sport doctor say that either.

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    If there were, say, thousands of lifters who have been doing deadlifts for decades and haven't fucked up their back, would this invalidate your statement here? Can you find me a study that shows people who do deadlifts properly are frequently injured? Or even a guy who is clearly doing lifts...

    Why is this true for deadlifts and not for squats and bench press, or the many other lifts that put a tremendous amount of stress on the body?

    Also re: deadlifts, I'm still following a beginner weight lifting program (phraks GSLP) that has me deadlifting 1x5 once a week. I'm up to 330lbs now and feel pretty good about how difficult it is. Right now I'm limited by my grip strength (I do mixed grip on the heavier lifts) and my ability to...

    Poll Tyen vs Trex - Choose Your Side!

    I think it should do the opposite. In most other communities, even similar ones, Trex would be much more popular. In here she's treated as a pariah despite having a presence here for the better part of a decade.

    almost beat the first map. I have on more quest before my survivors go into legacy mode or whatever. I'm debating continuing the map to try out new stuff, find better survivors etc, or just complete it and roll a new one. There's a lot wrong with the game, but for me the two big things it's...

    Probably not. The going theory for how a force could be barely perceptible in labs could be used for something useful was that once we understood the physics behind it, we could harness it. Like the different between the monkeys banging rocks together to make sparks and gasoline engine. Some...

    Changes within the new map: 1) Zombies will spawn in greater numbers across the board, including the ferals, juggernauts, and bloaters. 2) Increased number of "asshole" enclaves, these enclaves will often try to extort you out of doing their bidding. 3) Increased number of survivors in need...
