My SO was like "Hey I've never seen Firefly should we watch it?" so that's what I was doing basically all day \o/

Isn't Firefly like live action Cowboy Bebop?

Because I really liked Cowboy Bebop but haven't seen Firefly.

In other related news, Samurai Champloo was amazing. Does anyone have (anime) recommendations for those who liked both Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo?

Firefly is a comedic space western, so i guess kinda like cowboy Bebop. It requires a little homework to watch "properly" as the fanbase determines. as the original episodes were aired out of order, so you may need to double check if the place you are watching them has them in their aired order or the canon order. its on netflix so there really is no reason not to at least peruse the first episode.

More like an Outlaw Star ripoff. Yeah I said it. Still good thou.

To the question, Wolf's Rain tends to get high praise and it's another work by Watanabe who directed Bebop and Champloo. I didn't care for it but you might.

Another fun thing in the same general vein of anime with some western influence would be the Gunsmith Cats OVA if you can find it.

Nope, I was just looking at the list. Unless it's different elsewhere. It was correct until War Stories, but then it played Heart of Gold and Objects in Space, which should be after Trash and The Message.

Well, sure, but when I talk about basic body weight training, it's more the "get toned/just to stay active" type thing rather than the more advanced progressions. But even then, there's only so much you're going to get gainz-wise without picking up and putting down heavier things and adding resistances.

Is there an article on this or something that shows the increase in strength is disproportional with an increase in mass enough to show that your mass trends toward a limit rather than just slows in rate? i actually don't know.


There's potentially a ton to unpack from a question that seems so simple, especially since I'm not 100% sure of the specifics(if there are any) of which you're asking.

Are you focusing in on Soniv's thoughts on strength/mass gain while using only bodyweight, or have we moved to discussing rate changes of mass and strength in relation to each other in an individual undergoing any training at all?

well i was talking about the rate of change of mass from body weight training whether your increased mass could add enough additional resistance over time to continue gaining mass, which continues to increase resistance. ect. or whether each gain is proportionally smaller each "cycle" and there really is a limit at which you cannot overcome (on an average human body) without adding weight above what you naturally gain from training.


So you're essentially wondering how it works out that say, you can do sets of 20 pushups at weight X, and doing so for some amount of time causes you to gain 5 lbs; what value does that 5 lbs have such that continuing to do pushups will gain another Y pounds?

The bodyweight you gain will be miniscule compared to the strength it gives you with regards to the vast majority of bodyweight movements(although we'd have to make some assumptions here regarding how the person is eating and which movements they are doing, how often, etc), especially when we take into consideration that a large part of 'strength' is neural adaptation/neural patterning(almost literally 'muscle memory').

For the above example this means that you will be doing FAR more pushups, such that you are likely to not even notice that your bodyweight is going up(if it even does, bodyweight going up is a factor of more than just doing some exercise).

Using myself to illustrate a point quickly, I monitor my bodyweight closely, it can fluctuate about 2-3 pounds over the course of a given week, which is a ~1.1-1.6% change for me. A 1.6% change of weight on a lift is all but meaningless unless you are at near-maximal weights. I'd have to gain 19 pounds for my pullups to gain 10% resistance, which is still not some crazy high jump.

Does that mean there's a strict limit? I dunno, but progress will eventually slow as you become so adept at a movement that you can only stress it as a muscular-endurance/conditioning activity fatiguing energy systems before muscle fibers, so much so that you're no longer really training the muscle, so it won't grow. In theory at least.

I'm sure studies have been attempted on such things like many other things regarding exercise physiology, but such studies are usually plagued with problems and not worth much.

TLDR: fuck that I put effort into this post, read it or don't, plebs.

I was actually a little disappointed by imitation game.

Not sure if you can spoil a factual movie but w/e

Was expecting it to either be more exciting (i guess a long shot for a biopic) or at least educational/interesting in terms of details of what they did, but instead it just felt like a bit of a "lets win cumberbatch an oscar, look at all of this acting he's doing" without anything else really there.

Nothing wrong with a movie just being a tour de force of the lead actor, but with a subject as interesting as cracking enigma you have so much interesting material to include. Whereas they could just as easily have substituted the war with an art contest and the machine with a painting he couldn't get right, and it wouldn't have felt very different

HS already had more Twitch activity at the end of 2014. Though it fell behind Dota2/CSGO by the end of January and probably won't pick up this month, seeing as DAC gave Dota2 a huge viewership spike.
