    I dunno how some of you have done it, even the ones who played previous betas. I played for over 12 hours today and I'm halfway through lvl 18. In TERA I was one of the first to 50, and I was playing a priest. Not sure why this has proved so much more difficult.

    Open up the spreadsheet on the first post and try to find someone. Katya made everyone a leader, so anyone is capable of adding you now.

    I'd imagine there are more people who were in previous beta's who are waiting to get in. The noob areas were packed this afternoon. I imagine it'll be worse tomorrow with more new people and others leveling up other classes.

    Today is only for people who have played in a beta already. Tomorrow is just open, anyone can get on. The head start next week is for pre-orders.

    I'm starting to think I may just give up on Gilgamesh. Been trying for 20 minutes already. And it sounds like the server is full of neckbeards.

    Bunch of fags on here decided that they wanted to be on the most crowded server so that when everyone quits in a few months, it'll have a stable population. As opposed to just waiting for server merges.

    Read my last few posts. It looks like playing 1.0 beta somehow allowed me into this. Maybe. I'll see tomorrow.

    You don't even know! I was bummed about it not starting until Saturday because tomorrow is the last furlough day for DoD. So thanks to Congress, I'll (hopefully, assuming I'm actually in) be using it to play beta all day!

    Technically, if you bench press a lot (flat or incline), your anterior deltoids already get a ton of work. Personally I do flat, incline, and also military press, so my anterior delts get a fuckton of work. I only do side lateral raises for medial delts (and I've been having some kind of pain in...

    Ok, I'm wondering now if I'll somehow be able to play tomorrow. Talking with my brother-in-law, he's saying he can't patch the client because he doesn't have a service account. Idohave a service account, cause apparently I played 1.0 for like a week back in 2010. Am I going to be allowed into...

    I hit them on shoulder day, since they're the shoulder muscles. I do rear delts (facepulls) on back day, though.

    I liked this week's episode of Hard Knocks where Dalton and Matt Ryan were talking about Tony Gonzalez. "I guess when you've got 15 years and you're a future Hall of Famer, you just tell the coach you'll come for the first few days (of training camp) and then I'll see you in a few weeks."

    If I could do 3x5 at my current squat weight I would. But I just can't. And dropping the weight doesn't do me any good for progression, so I just said fuck it and dropped them to 3 rep sets. My deadlifts I do 1x5. Any more than that and I can't stand for the next 2 days. It's weird though...

    I added RDL's about 2 months ago to my routine. My leg routine is currently: Back Squat 3x3 Pin Squat 2x8 RDL 3x5 Bulgarian Split Squat 3x5 Calf Raises 3x12 Front Calf Raise 3x20 Bulgarian split squats hit your hamstring pretty well too. But they absolutely fry my glutes.

    Seriously. I'm really just ready for Saturday to get here just so I can figure out what the fuck I'm doing. I have a GMG code, but I can't do shit with it. I don't know if I'm in beta already (I don't think I am, I think they open new beta registration when they start open beta), I can't...

    I haven't read all the posts about this episode yet, but this is the Chekov's gun (the actual story) - it's even got Chekov in it! Walt will end up dying by his insides coming out. Likely coughing up a lung.

    I think the only people who will get into beta are those that were legacy or in P3 or earlier. The rest of us will have to wait to register until Saturday, from what I can tell. Hopefully it's instantaneous though.

    If it's 6pm Japan time, that makes it 5am EST, both days. It won't let you play a day early, there isn't that much time difference. So basically if you were in P3, you can start playing at 5am EST, 4am CST, 3am MST, and 2am PST on Friday. If you weren't, you can start playing at 5am EST, 4am...

    Is there a friends list? I would imagine the best way would just be to use the spreadsheet and add everyone on it. Hopefully it gets updated with everyone's character name (I'll add mine whenever I figure that part out).

    From my limited reading, HGH is only moderately effective as a "steroid." That's why I mentioned insulin. I guess insulin and HGH are somewhat competing hormones, so if you take one, the other drops. But if you supplement with both of them, you can balloon up. I think the insulin also helps with...

    It doesn't matter. HGH flushes out of the system incredibly quickly (half life of 3 hours). So unless they're testing every single day, they'll never catch anyone. Can't really test for elevated insulin either, since that's short term as well.

    The ridiculous thing is they're basically bare bones. From the ones I've seen, they're less well equipped than a normal powerlifting gym. Just get some barbells, bumpers, kettlebells, tires, jump ropes, and pullup bars and you're set. I can't for the life of me figure out why they're so fucking...
