men too

You mean they aren't property?

Kek

Not in the sense that you can do whatever the hell you like with them, at least.

Perhaps I'm getting soft as I approach 30.

You clearly haven't read any Stirner. Anything I can successfully impose my will on is my property.

Unless it's a spook. Then it can't be property.

I kid. Egoist philosophy is good for memes, and nothing else.

Everything is a spook except me

I'm a spook

we're all spooks

except that demon in the closet

he's real

Spook doesn't mean the same in Britian as it does in the US.

On some level.

what does it mean in Anglostan?

Kek

Spook can mean the same as nigger

Just less well known

Same with coon

But less used

Yeah, Spook here would refer almost exclusively to ghosts or the paranormal.

But when I hear people in the US use it, I assume they're referring to blacks.

It does here as well, but has been used to describe niggers

Right

Yeah, exactly, it's never been used here to describe blacks.

We've come up with several other fun ones.

@AP-1138 sadly, Lebanon has a lot of Muslims...

@Quarantine_Zone Every country has its cross to bear... <:thinksmirk:564102152239185920>

~58 muslims

~58%*

It was formerly Eastern Catholic dominant

With some EO, OO, and Nestorians believe it or not

Oh wow

Nestorians are one I’ve never encountered yet

Which one is OO again?

40% christian 60% mudslime

There's a lot of Armenians

1 mill

because of the genocide

@AP-1138 OO are the Oriental Orthodox miaphysites. They broke off at Chalcedon.

It includes Syiac Orthodox, Ethiopian Orthodox, and Coptic Orthodox

Nestorians are largely isolated to Asia and Syria/Lebanon

Alright. Tell me your bench record lads

85kg

Upper body is my weak point

It's a lot lower than it should be

focus on building biceps for strength, triceps for strength, shoulder for strength

ive noticed my hammer curl went up some amount so did my bench.

my overhead press went up so did my bench

technically theres two schools of thought in how to get strong at movements: a) focus on the movement. b) get strong muscles that do the movement

the right answer is different on every movement/lift

For bench its mostly B.

So whatever your hammer curl is now then get it up by 50% and you will be considerably stronger than you were before.

Get your overhead press up 20kg and you will be a lot stronger.

These are large increases but still you get the point.

Something like overhead press might be more of the A variant where u should do the movement rather than bodybuild your shoulders

though you should do both

On bench ive noticed people either have really strong shoulders (jamie lewis) or strong arms(James Strickland). Strong shoulders is more beginner friendly (I believe) but strong arms take more effort and will take you further. Strong both will give you godlike benching tho (larry wheels).

Thanks bro

I spend most of my time doing squats and neglect upper body

also search for "mark bell bench advice" he has something out there too such as trying to bend the bar by twisting the arms inwards towards yourself etc.

@Quarantine_Zone Thanks for the explanation mate! Appreciate it!

@Deleted User I do biceps curls straight into an overhead press. Is this healthy to do or not? It’s worked well and definitely built me up, but I’m not wondering if it’s harming the support muscles and tendons.

Got a quick pump in on Easter between church and dinner with the family, if Christ can move huge boulders, I can lift some iron

@AP-1138 It strengthens them.

Cool cool. So if I keep doing that, it’ll be fine, yeah?

Its called a curl and a press so yes.

You guys wanna hear a joke?

Six pack abs shortcut

Except keto is literally a shortcut lol

Aight. Thanks man. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing shit wrong.

We at gym bois

Tomorrow is gym day

I think

Today is 12h workday day

What do you guys do for Lent and gym?

Like if you want to bulk up

Beans, Chickpeas and Lentils

and eat one mahoosive meal a day

Oh, and pea protein

And fish

Although truth be said, I think the best you can hope for is maintain over lent

Lots of fish

A traditional fast doesn't allow fish

Eggs?

Save for the feast of the annunciation

Eggs are an animal product, so no.

Protein powder?

I don't think protein powder is going to go against the purpose of a fast

Nuts and beans

Tofu
