So question for general fitness/health.

Is it better when doing cardio to do longer stretches at a lower speed, or should you go faster?

Typically I just kinda go until I hit 2 miles. Sometimes if I wanna do some jogging in there I can do it faster, other times I kinda just wanna take my time and walk.

If I were instead just to do 50 minutes of walking at let's say 3.3 MPH, is that better than 35 minutes where I fluctuate between 3-5MPH?

full running > interval training > walking longer

if you only care about fat burn and look, Hiit (which is what youre describing except cut the time in half, maybe do 15 minutes alternating between 3 mph walk and sprints) is the way to go. Its effective and fast. However if you believe in slow and steady wind the race, full running is much better. Hiit guys seem to be completely lacking in cardio imo. Theres a mental toughness in a nonstop run after a certain point its just you vs your mind. Being able to push through that is where success lies. I have found in my experience the constant breaks make it much easier mentally to handle which is good for beginners but unless you know what Im talking about with the extra oomph running requires.

on that note ran 25 mins outside today, was a pretty nice day turns out I didnt have to go away

8 min mile yesterday 7.5 on treadmill
2 miles in 18:30 today on treadmill (6.5 pace i sped up to 7.0 because I accidentally paused the machine at like 1.25 miles just kept running in place as I waited for it to restart and then upped it until i caught back up to the 9:15 pace of 6.5)

gonna do bench and arms tonight. Did my 8 min abs already this morning. Feeling pretty good today was really feeling myself on the run was just totally in the zone

ran 2 miles, did 8 min abs, did 6x20 8x30 8x35 8x40 8x45 8x50 single dumbell squats today

then pull my leg playing with my dog reaching for his toy -___- it doesnt seem too bad and i need to take a break from running for a little while anyway, ive done 15 miles this week which is probably a lot after not running for 6 months/dieting for 3

i do think i get small injuries more from lack of calories. but sadly im stuck eating about 1200 a day rather than 1600 or so cuz of financial issues. really need that 3rd stimulus to be mailed lol...was supposed to have been mailed 4 days ago so heres hoping it comes at some point.

Got back to the gym for bench today after reinjuring my labrum tear from last week. No pain no gain. Although no military press again for me. After my injury last week I was pretty depressed and ate a ton of bad food but I was able to run 13 miles in 5 days to keep my cardio level good. Now that crap feel better foods out of my system and I can get rolling again.

Sunday photo update (yes Im blessing yall with the whitie tighties every week)




biked 2 miles ran for 1.5 miles today the shoulder definitely hurts but it didnt restrict cardio...did affect my ability to do some ab work (not all I can still do planks fine for example) so Ill rest today and just go back to 1db squats tomorrow.

having eaten the same diet with no cheat meals for last 3 weeks really got me back into shape quick. My strength seemed to be returning quick before this lame injury occurred yesterday so Im hoping It wont impede me for long. Im back down to 135-140 lbs now so its just a matter of defining the core

Aggravated my shoulder (torn labrum from two years ago) on db military press tonight. Felt the muscle just go wiggly going halfway up. Luckily i was using very low weights, and I have full range of motion atm it just feels a lil numb and weak. I hurt this thing once every two months or so just cant afford surgery, already iced and used my theracane tonight so we will see how it feels tomorrow but Im pretty hopeful. Worst case I might be just running and doing abs/leg/back for the next week

Man it would be nice to dunk just one time before it goes though

the male body reaches its prime in the 30s if you live a fairly athletic lifestyle young. its misinformed to think your twenties is your actual peak...it is if you didnt take care of your body much because then by your 30s youre going to constantly be aching / sore trying to work out way out of it.

1.25 miles at 12 mins today without being that tired afterwards (ie no hands on knees nonsense or inability to speak normally). I usually run outside for a week then see what my comfort level is at on treadmill. My prime was 5 miles 7 min pace from 2 years ago so itll be a while before I hit that again since Ive been pretty casual the last few years. 1.5 miles at 12 mins is a full grades military run mark so I should be pretty much there by next week, 2 at the latest. Pretty excited about this recapturing of my youth, weekly progress pic tomorrow!

I was gonna post progress reports each week. I started dieting n exercising again. I used to train mixed martial arts so luckily Ive got a very strong sense of focus when getting into shape, I was just depressed the last 3 months eating nothing but pizza and ice cream lmao. But Im out of that funk. Anyway Ill just skip last two weeks n start with today. Regimen: same meals each day banana/all bran cereal/tuna on wheat/carrots/applesauce/shamrock protein shake/some random protein snack/Morningstar veggie meal/broccoli
8 min abs on YouTube each day
alternate chest/arms with leg/core 5x a week
run 5x a week. Cardio is the most important thing for anyone. The better cardio you have the better shot you have of taking punches kicks etc without getting knocked out. Its why the Diaz brothers are so hard to knock out.

todays progress pic (apparently I can only fit one into a gamefaqs post???)


ill keep updating each Sunday if this threads around. my goal is visible abs and a return to my old cardio level (5 miles in 35 mins was my old pace)

Again,

you keep posting that but i dont get why. obviously it lowers your reaction times. im not denying that. the point is an experienced driver with a "lower reaction time" because they're talking on the phone is still safe

You are 100% wrong, and the reason these laws exist in the first place. You're not nearly as good of a driver as you think you are. It's a fact that for everybody, using the phone is a distraction. That distraction leads to mistakes and lowered reaction times. Doesn't matter who you are or think you are.

if you can't do something as simple as drive and talk on the phone at the same time then you're probably someone I'm worried about as a driver regardless of a lowered reaction time or not. also im not advocating TEXTING while driving (although i dont care if you do it at a red light) just being able to look at your gps or talk to someone on the phone. driving and doing those 2 things are not difficult...like at all if you're a competent driver. i could see how much trouble it would give newbie drivers which is why i said you need to have a valid license for 5 years before being exempt from phone/driving laws. because those laws are stupid.

Meh phone laws when driving are absolutely stupid. Using your gps or talking to someone about directions/where to pick them up are pretty valid. Its so easy to talk on a phone and drive. I do agree that teens/inexperienced drivers using their phones to play games or whatever are worse than drunk drivers. But the rest of us are punished because of it. Imo the easy solution: if you have had a valid license for at least 5 years you cant get ticketed for using your phone while driving. But rookie drivers need to earn that trust and can still be ticketed

i rewatched this a week ago, finished yesterday. It was better in areas I thought were bad and worse in areas I thought were good. The really good? Tenma's side plots helping other people. It was strong characterization and I loved the pacing for the most part. The themes were also excellent which I'll discuss below. The really bad? Johan was written as a character smarter than the person writing it and when that happens a lot of tell and don't show happens. We are told a lot about Johan's manipulation but it just doesn't come off as anything more than just doing very thorough research on the people he is manipulating and being very attentive/kind.

That said the actual story of Johan is really well written. I noticed people were always confused about this show in reviews and youtube comments so I'd figure I would summarize as best I can what I interpreted. So here is the timeline:

Johan's mother is selected for the program to create nameless children who would be raised so coldly that they could be controlled as perfect leaders for whatever regime was manipulating them by Franz Bonaparte. They come when the children are very little and take only 1. The mother is dressing them both as the same girl because she was trying to hide that she had twins. It doesn't work because they find her anyway. They take Nina. Franz falls in love with the mom (probably why he chose her in the first place) and decides he must rescue Nina from the mansion. He poisons the wine and kills everyone in a giant part to celebrate the experiment telling Nina to run. She runs home tells Johan the entire story. Johan tries to take the horror away from his sister and takes the story as his own, believing it actually happened to him. This then causes a crisis in Johan's mind because he now believes his mother intentionally got rid of him and kept Nina. Johan and Nina both take Franz's advice and run away. Soon after, the twins are found on the road by general wolf. after wolf questions him, he decides to take johan to kinderheim 511, a followup experiment to the red rose readings franz had created before renouncing the entire project. essentially a project designed to turn children into emotionless beings capable of being perfect soldiers. johan manipulates the staff into killing each other by somehow convincing them that there are spies in the project (again this is a total tell/don't show) and that the children need to be killed as well. 4 children survive johan roberto grimmer and the devil's apprentice.

Johan escapes, finds his sister again and they are adopted by the lieberts. Johan, now completely changed as a child due to Kinderheim, kills the lieberts after believing the monster from the red rose mansion is back, and in a moment of clarity laughs and tells nina to shoot him because the monster inside of him from kinderheim is only going to grow bigger. Nina decides to shoot Johan rather than forgive convincing Johan that his mother and Nina both did not want him and that he is the nameless monster. The twins escape the hospital together and Johan begins killing everyone. At some point the twins are separated and Johan at age 15 becomes the leader of the underground bank and the story basically starts from there.

i love the theme of the books telling the story of the project and johan's motivations. the book of the man with big eyes and the man with a big mouth both ending in despair for them because they were not the demon pulling the strings and offering the trades. Johan wants to be that demon. really my biggest question is if this is all supposed to be a metaphor for the bible. They repeat the bible quote about the monster with 7 heads at the beginning and the the end with the drunk, and the end is all about forgiveness. i think tenma certainly has many qualities of the jesus in christiainity. a wanted criminal who travels the continent healing people and saving lives, i think there's definitely interest in looking for more comparisons there.

Tonys cousin always felt like an absurd character hbo made him put in because they wanted Steve buschemi to have a role. My only proof is the sopranos is meticulously written then all of a sudden tony b is talking about how he used to rough up Chris with tony when they were young. But Chris is like 15 years younger than tony. So were tony and tony b like 18 beating the crap out of Chris when he was 3? The age gap doesnt make any sense

probably people afraid of trying drugs and alcohol criticizing that. Human beings are incredibly primal at our base nature and drugs and booze can bring that out of us in ways that you cant imagine. And before you high and mighty types just blame it on them, Drugs and alcohol will never define a person I know too many good addicts/homeless who would give you their last $5 compared to sober homeowners afraid to drop pennies in a poor jar.

it makes no difference to the rest of the apology which seems sincere. He could have left it at the excuse and say he is sorry - he didnt have to directly confront his racist fanbase and tell them stop defending me because what I did was wrong. He didnt have to accept invitations into whoever is inviting him.

i look at that Star Wars woman and see the exact opposite someone who refuses to double down and Ill bet any apology is more akin to saying Im sorry youre offended by saying Im sorry my words hurt others

i miss trumps twitter too. it was hilarious. but he could get millions of people to kill their neighbors. all he would have to do is post "qanon is 100% true. theyve silenced me for too long but i ask those who know the truth to fight for me and fight for this country" and the 5 million qanoners in america would grab arms and start shooting. it is scary one man has so much power. the trump hitler comparison is really more about the followers than the leaders imo. people willing to die for a cause theyve been brainwashed into.

Kind of like "no one is safe" mentality where any subject can be spoofed, even if it's taboo.

the thing with this mentality is it depends on your ability as a comic. south park balances knocking on everyone by doing it with actual humor and balance. look at how south park handles the n word as a joke and concept. they won awards by the ncaap for doing such a good job. look how they handled subjects such as autism and handicapped people as a whole. Jimmy for example is a handicapped character with a stutter who his parents believe god punished them for them making fun of disabled children. if that was just the only joke, then it's just them ragging on handicapped people. but they turn jimmy into an actual character, they give him personality and motivations and it creates a hilarious topic that while "offensive" is actually wholesome.

if youre just going to get on a podcast and start yelling about the n-words and muslims and try to make it comedic as an excuse to just be a piece of shit, no one is going to want to listen to you or will call you out on it.

lol anime dominates the netflix trending if anything id say its even more popular than you would imagine. movies like akira are referenced so often in the mainstream (as a comedy watcher i know south park and rick and morty both did homages to akira). everybody has seen death note...that death note live action film was like the most viewed netflix movie for a while...people who hadnt seen death note the anime yet im sure watched at least an episode to see if it was any better or at the recommendation of pretty much everyone else.
