i restarted walking. i'm using the walking pad i kept under my bed, bluetooth headphones and a tablet to watch stuff rather than my monitor. the tablet is smaller, but i put it on my bookshelf so that it's on my eye level. this setup was so comfy, i walked 15 minutes without noticing (beyond my overheating due to me being obese). i loved it. i hope i stick to it this time. i saw a similar setup somewhere on /fit/, i didn't save the thread it but the idea stuck with me. so if that anon reads this, thank you
>>77274034good job fatty though i thought that walking pads have somewhat strict weight limits?I also want to get a walking pad, and a standing desk and you have pushed me closer to doing that, thanks
>>77273999Why did jannies kill the previous thread?
>>77274046Because someone mentioned trying to neck himself and rather than just deleting the post they went full retard.
>>77274052Sad on both accounts.
>>77274052lmaoing at that image
>>77274043NTA. Walking pads are great, but go into it knowing there's no such thing as a good one. They all have the same unventilated 2.5hp motor, and they're all designed to be used twice them forgotten. Even the more expensive ones.With that in mind, find one with incline built in, a 6mph or more max speed, and a relatively larger belt.Most important feature is a protection plan. I buy them from Walmart which has a few different plan options. If you actually use it, it'll die, guaranteed. The plan is always difficult to cash in, but ends up being worth the hassle.>t. On my 4 walking pad.
>>77274093Very good to know, thank you anon
>>77274052why even delete it?
had a job interview yesterday. I was given verbal confirmation that I'll start on june 1st, now I'm waiting for the official confirmation that they're supposed to send via email some time today.job is good, perfect blend of what I already know and am good at but offering a lot of things to learn and potential growth. it's not all perfect but I really need this to go through. I've had a shit ass min wage job for a year and a half while part timing professional jobs independently. I've worked so hard to make a decent living and I'm happy but it's still just a verbal promise so I don't feel accomplished just yet.
>>77274093I've owned 3 and agree they all suck. Very convenient for rainy days tho and when you're working
>>77274043>i thought that walking pads have somewhat strict weight limits?i am past the weight limit, it still works. idk >you have pushed me closer to doing that, thanksyou're welcome, good luck anon
>>77274305It's not going to fail to turn if you're too heavy. It's more stress on the motor, and maybe the frame. These are disposable, though, so who cares so long as it works for you.
>>77274309it did get hot once, i added silicone oil after that and it hasn't happened again. but yeah, if it broke down, i could just buy another one. they're cheap enough
>>77274322If you feel like it, the easiest way to prolong the life of the motor is to open the case of it up while in use. Internals may be mounted to the case, so it varies from model to model, and you're exposing wires that carry full household voltage, so I take no responsibility for this. But I do it.If you don't have the protection plan you can also carve holes in case and/or add fans. I've done that too. Sometimes the protection plan people ask for a video of it "doing the thing" though, so I don't bother anymore.
>>77274344idk i'm scared of fucking it up lol as i said, after filling up the little tank with silicone oil, it hasn't gotten hot anymore
>>77273999Checked. I'm going through a cold right now and using to halt lifting until I also get over a small knee injury. I hope next week or in the next few days I can lift again. I feel like it is the safer thing to do. WAGMI boys
>>77274138Congrats on the job offer! Your description makes it sound like a good opportunity. Don’t stress about it not being perfect, you’ll get something better in a couple of years
>>77274475You’re making the right choice. Gains await you once you return to the gym. WAGMI
>>77274034Excellent job dude fr
>>77273999Your digits indicate that we’re all gonna make it!
>>77273999My goal this week is to go to the gym every single day. So far 2 out of 2.I'm doing my tax returns on Friday so I hope to achieve no taxes owed.
>>77274138nice to hear anon, update us when you get the email>>77274475>I feel like it is the safer thing to do.I never lift when I'm ill because the quality of my work and enjoyment of the lifts drops so muchmake sure to do some walking if the weather allows for knee active recovery>>77274784indeed we are>>77274797watch out for your joints anon
>>77274797I have the same goal, anon! Or at least go 5 timkes this week: just monday thru friday for now, because I have plans for the weekend. Finally taking a good honest try to get rid of the chub I've accumulated since last October, now that we're firmly into T-shirt weather again.I decided I want to wake up half an hour earlier than I normally do and start going to the gym in the mornings. I managed to yesterday. It was blissfully empty compared to my usual, after-work time. Today I couldn't get out of bed; I had to stay up way past bedtime yesterday due to things outside of my control. I went to the gym either way, just after work instead.Really enjoying this 'ambitious plan, but realistic fallback' scheme I've made for myself. If I would've skipped my usual evening session, I'd just miss the whole workout for that day. If I miss a morning session now, however, I still have the option to redeem myself later in the day. EVEN if I miss a day entirely, I can still make up for it during most weekends.
>>77274797Good luck! Going everyday is admirable at first, but eventually you should aim to go 4-5 times a week
I ate like a pig this past weekend, i feel awful. I also lasted a whole week without coffee which was nice, but after a single cup on sunday I'm back to no coffee. On the other hand my fitbit is supposed to arrive pretty soon, that should motivate me to get my steps in and start watching my diet.
>>77274841>>77274797it's much easier to go 5 times a week mo-fri than any other combo.And you get actual improvement as an urbanite natty. I've tested it.
hey faggot mods eat a dick.i was able to successfully build a video downloader for locals and now i have all 260 Scott Adams microlessons
>>77274841You’re making the right move being lenient towards yourself. You’re not going to be perfect, there are going to be bumps along the way. What’s important is you show consistent growth. Good luck!
>>77273999Took a bong hit for the first time in ages and I had an existential crisis so bad if I had a gun I would have shot myself. Don’t fuck up your life bros, go outside talk to women make friends don’t be a NEET
>>77274958Congrats on reducing your caffeine intake! I need to reduce mine once work gets easier. Don't let your weekend get you down. You can start over this week and get back on track
I did not have a very good session yesterday, kinda hungry, kinda tired, kinda felt weak, that said I still went hard at it.Now I'm having my rest days and I'm back on friday to do better.WAGMI
>>77275145I’m trying my hardest to get my life together. Good luck as well fren!
>>77274822Yeah I try to go walking and some stretching but being sick has hampered me.
>>77276307What’s important is that you tried your best despite the circumstances. Your discipline will lead you to new peaks. Friday will be better. WAGMI
>>77275145kek you just got too high and tripped out.
I WILL bench 245 for 5 reps by July
>>77276708No, you'll bench 250.
My dick is too fucking big to never be put to use. Any time my motivation starts to deflate, I remember that I wasn't created like this by nature just to end up doing nothing with it.
>>77276740I’ll have to try to hit that goal then :)
>>77276782>My dick is too fucking bigElaborate, with pictures
>>77276782You can’t give up, you have so much to accomplish with your huge cock
>>77277232...it's actually just an inch above average in both dimensions. Nothing ludicrous, really. But it's just bulky enough to make store-bought condoms a no-go. Yeah, I tried in advance what would fit best when the time comes.>>77277300That's what I like to tell myself. I wanna see at least one woman's reaction to it while it's still in its full splendour before I die.
>>77273999Monday I ran my first sub 30 minute 5k, and tonight I ran my first back to back sub 30 minute 5k.On a treadmill because I've been too lazy to touch grass, but my cope is that I keep it at a 1% incline the whole time at least.Dunno where it'll be hotter, 90 degree days or my apartment clubhouse's tiny indoor fitness room with barely any ventilation.
I kept on watching the strongest guy in my gym bench 3pl8. I wish I had the courage to talk to him and ask for advice. One day I want to be strong enough that people admire me
>dude who goes to the same gym spots me out in the wild"Hey, I recognize you! You're the guy who's always pushing and pulling more plates on the sled than I know how to count, right?"
>>77277582Congrats on those 5ks! Remember to hydrate, the heat has been oppressive these last couple of days
Had a good time at the group dinner. Got a number from a cutie in her mid 30s. Let's see if that goes anywhere.
>>77277624Everyone is mirin’ your strength, champ! Don’t sell yourself short
