    Nice. I was a 25B. Worked with quite a few 25C's. The going home during basic thing is because of the holidays. They do a stand down and everyone gets to go home for 2 weeks or so. I'm pretty sure every branch does it - I know for a fact the Army and Navy do, and if they both do, the Air...

    I thought it sucked, and I loved FC3. Steam says I played Blood Dragon for 44 minutes. Curious about the AC4 on Amazon. If it's the Steam version, will it still try to make me play it on Uplay?

    Not sure if it's just cause I was in AIT at Fort Gordon, but I hated Augusta. I'm sure it's an awesome little town otherwise, but every weekend we'd go off base and it just seemed trashy. The fuck? You humped a god damn 50 cal and MK19? That seems like it'd fucking suck. Marines are god damn...

    People who make resolutions have pretty much already failed. Honestly, if it takes waiting for a certain day to start doing something, you don't have the motivation in the first place. I notice this all the time during the year too. "Oh, I'm going to start doing X on Monday," said on a...

    What MOS? Your AIT should be a lot easier, to be honest. Do they not give you watch at night anymore? I know they got rid of KP a long time ago. I hate you for missing out on that shit. As far as the "standing around" because someone fucked up, that's all by design. Hopefully they told you at...

    That was interesting. I wish they would've talked more about getting on the show (the stuff about clothing) and all that goes with that. And yeah, Kat doesn't seem quite as retarded. Still dumb, but not as bad. I still need to watch the Ponderosa videos from this season.

    Alison Brie (and the rest of the cast) was on The Soup's 2013 clipdown and looked...different. Not sure if she's skinnier or it was just her hair, but I don't know that I liked it.

    I watched some YouTube videos recently of a big fitness model or bodybuilder and he had one of those. They look pretty awesome. I'd like to hear how it is after a few uses. I don't think I'd use it with my current job (live about 7 minutes away from work), but whenever I decide to move it'd...

    You really think 15% is fat? And yes, I did probably start about 15% (no visible abs).

    I probably thought the same way back when I was a teenager and for some reason decided to make the switch. Now though, I think white bread is fucking terrible. In fact, I specifically look for whole grain hotdog and hamburger buns. Otherwise it just tastes bad to me. I'd say eventually you'd get...

    There are some posters on this site that really need to figure out the difference between micro and macro. Tuco said the nation couldn't feed itself on paleo, because it's too expensive (macro).

    Dude, what the fuck? I didn't think someone needed to come out and straight up tell you not to eat 1300 calories, but apparently that's the case. You're doing the classic failure diet. You'll lose a bit of weight, quit because you were starving yourself, and then when you go back to a reasonable...

    I watched the original this weekend for the first time in forever, and it's amazing how quotable that damn movie was. There was no way this would ever live up to that. And really, it was one of those lightning in a bottle type of movies where trying to recapture any of that funny would result in...

    Cowboys are playing like last week. And the announcers are once again wondering why the fuck they won't let Murray touch the ball, when he's averaging about 7 yards a carry. Baffling.

    That's definitely not all lean mass. At best I'd say I gained 15 pounds of muscle and am carrying around 5 pounds of water weight. I've got a decent gut right now.

    My bulk is basically complete. Was planning on going until the end of the year, but I went to the gym yesterday and after weeks of pushing myself as hard as I could for the last 2-3 months (to maximize my bulk) my body basically said I'm done. I was still able to hit a max on bench press (235)...

    Sounds like it's just doing the math and not really trying to give a realistic answer (no parameters for that?). It's probably taking your TDEE, adding calories for activity, and then subtracting 1000 calories per day (7000 calories for 2 lbs per week).

    There are a bunch of other 5x5 programs that are apparently better. To be honest, I don't pay much attention to these types of routines anymore since I do my own 4 day bro-split and have outgrown novice routines. But from what I gather, the problem is that there just isn't enough variation in...

    Negative. I think you're looking at it from a much shorter time frame than I am talking about. A novice lifter is someone who can still make consistent linear progress. That can take anywhere from a year to infinity (infinity being the people who lift and never make progress because their...

    Depends on your experience with lifting. The less experience you have, the higher frequency you can get away with since you can recover faster. I would generally recommend a full body, push/pull/legs, or 5x5 routine for a beginning lifter. Intermediate would likely be a P/P/L or 4 day split...

    If you're talking about the mobility, keep doing it before. The issue with stretching before lifting is that it lengthens everything and you lose some of the stretch reflex at the bottom of lifts (especially squats). There's a possibility it can lead to injury. But I'm starting to think that...
