I've a far greater peeve against people who abuse the equipment, like not putting it back when they're done or hogging the squat rack for 45 straight goddamn minutes (yeah fuck you guy from last night). haha used to get that too in most gyms, and when i lost my patience and told this dude that "hey you know what, this isnt yours, so move" - but in a polite way - he gave me the saddest face like he was doing me a favor lol. he was doing like 20 seconds exercises with 10 minutes in between of facebook browsing ffs anyway because of lack of time, im doing only bodyweight exercises now and it's great! | ||

Personally, I'm a month away from 24 and I feel like I'm one of the younger regular posters here, besides the ones that mention high school on a regular basis (coughmtlguitarist97cough) In my job though, I spend about 70% of my day with elderly (75-95 years old) people who also happen to be sick and believing they're going to die. I don't get through a day without being told at least four or five times to make the most out of being young. | ||

How dangerous is DMBA? We don't know. The researchers found two animal studies from the 1940s in which the stimulatory effect of DMBA in cats and dogs had been measured. And that's all there is. There are no human studies, not even toxicological studies. There are not even any studies in which scientists have measured what DMBA does to liver cells in a test tube. The side effects of DMBA that have been reported seem to resemble those of other stimulants. "So far, three cases of adverse effects were reported for this supplement", the researchers write. "The symptoms were similar and included the feeling of rushing, difficulty sitting still, a sense of motion and increased focus." Right now DMBA is not on the doping list, but you can bet your bottom dollar the WADA will be changing this soon. Athletes who are tested risk being banned from competitions if they consume DMBA | ||

John Oliver with the whole Dr. Oz Magic weightloss scandal did a piece on why the supp industry is so yolo. This is the TLHF thread but my gym objectives are more stimmed off my tits and get swole than health and fitness. My main gripe with supps is that they're lying on the labels. AMP is universally under-dosed in all products. | ||

 People said that if I started working out, it would help, but I've been lifting for about eight weeks and it hasn't resulted in better sleep. And I've tried all the quick and easy stuff one might find from a Google search: melatonin, warm milk, no caffeine, etc. Anybody have a problem like this before? | ||

@Osmoses You should use creatine. It's great. It will never be banned. | ||

When I have ideal conditions my sleep is much much better than is was ever before though. So there is that good side to it as well. | ||

After college, I noticed that I would wake up more and more easily to noise, light, temperature changes, etc. When I was 18, it felt like I could sleep through anything and instantly adjust to shifts in my circadian rhythm (e.g., going to bed at 7 AM on the weekend and still being able to sleep for nine hours). This has been getting worse over the last year or so. I know that I'm not a teenager anymore, but geez, I'm only 25 and I wake up to the smallest noise or temperature change. I can't even fall asleep if my roommate has the TV on across the hall. My friends who are the same age don't seem to suffer from this. I can't shift my sleep cycle at all, either. If I fall asleep later on the weekend, I'll still wake up at around the usual time, even though I know I haven't slept enough and still feel tired (but of course, I won't be able to go back to sleep).

Melatonin + Zinc & Magnesium before bed. Dark room, preferably a bit chilly and wrapped in warm blankets. Ear plugs if you need. | ||

Congrats on the kid! I am also 27 years old and also have a kid around the same age. It was actually have a child that made me want to work out in the first place. I never had a problem with being a skinny nerd, even after I got married. I am pretty good at sports and it didn't really matter to me how I looked (well, not that much more than most people I guess. I still care of course). After my wife got pregnant, though, I started thinking about how I wanted my kids to see me. So even though I had always been mildly self conscious about being slender, for the first time in my life I was driven to do something about it. I want my kids to see me as a strong and powerful figure, someone who could beat up the other kids' dads and rescue them from a jam. Despite being far busier now as a father than I was before the kid, I decided to pick up weight lifting after having not done any consistent physical activity since I was in high school sports. I am going to have to drop it for the time being, but it has been a ton of fun and I am so glad I went for it. I feel healthier and more confident, not to mention I look like a regular person now instead of a loosely-bound skeleton. I started at 6 ft 140 pounds (was even as low as 130 a couple years ago) and ended up at 190 pounds after three months (30 pounds just in the first month I believe). While a lot of that was fat, a whole lot of it was muscle as well. I'm really curious to see how much of that weight I drop after I stop eating so much. I fully plan on picking it up again when I have time. I really hit a groove during the second month when I felt comfortable with the lifts and was adding weight consistently. Unfortunately the third month was when I got busier so I was missing a lot of workouts and stopped making much progress. Next summer I should have more time, and I'm really excited to be able to jump right into it rather than having to take so much time just trying to figure out the lifts. I felt like I left a whole lot on the table in terms of progress and I really want to push myself harder the next time around when I have more time. I think I am hooked! Big thanks to everyone here who answered my stupid questions along the way. TL is the best! | ||
