bestmanican If you're in college now, *most* of them have a way to check out dslrs, usually from the art department, but often science/engineering/business schools will have some too. May also poke around "hackerspaces"/"makerspaces" or join a photography club, they'd probably have some to loan out...

NotYourAverageNerd - Everything I know about fat loss & gaining muscle

Not sure if I'm really in a position to do this, but fuck it here goes. In my "365 days of Tinder" thread, a bunch of people have complemented my body (thanks guys! I needed the ego stroke a little :) ), and asked what I'm doing to cut fat and build muscle. I don't really feel like I'm any kind of ...

NotYourAverageNerd - Everything I know about fat loss & gaining muscle

A) EATING and MOVING Section 1: NOT EATING. If you haven't heard the expression "abs are made in the kitchen", now you have. It's true. Eating is more important than everything else combined, BY FAR. If you're not eating well, you will not look good. If you are eating well, you'll look at least pre...

Section 4: GOING TO THE GYM (for total newbies) As I said above, really all you need to do is SOMETHING, there is NO perfect set of exercises, as long as you're doing something reasonable, you'll be getting 90% of the results. If you're just starting out, there's a TON of beginner plans out there (...

NotYourAverageNerd - Everything I know about fat loss & gaining muscle

Section 3: setting REALISTIC goals There's a lot of ABSOLUTE BS out there on what to expect. The bottom line is, if you thought the timelines for fat loss were long, you ain't seen nothing yet. Muscle growth takes time. Again, though, you'll get a little bit better every day . You'll have to wait t...

B) LIFTING HEAVY THINGS AND PUTTING THEM BACK DOWN Section 1: WORK. FUCKING. HARDER. So there's not really that much to say about this, but I'm trying to make sections that matter longer because there's a lot of tenancy to focus on things that don't really matter. When you're weightlifting, actuall...

NotYourAverageNerd - Everything I know about fat loss & gaining muscle

Section 5: Food choices - healthy food vs good for fat loss So after teasing this in section 1, I'm actually going to start talking about choices of food now. I waited until now because ... it doesn't really matter that much for your results. The bottom line IS calories in = calories out, if you're...

NotYourAverageNerd - Everything I know about fat loss & gaining muscle

Might actually make this an e-book or smth Do it. Ebook is super easy - just add a cover page, contents page, convert to PDF. Don't need any fancy layout or anything - the PDF you have now is good enough. Thanks dude! Gave it a name (The Low-Bullshit Diet) and put it up (for free) on Lulu: https://...

Best return-on-time-invested

So I've been sitting on my ass too much with actually going and trying to get laid - I've been using my other goals (apartment, friends, tinder pics, working out) as an excuse to be "too busy" and not do it. Also getting kind of tired of getting nowhere/blown off on Tinder/Hinge/Bumble (haven't gott...

Try whatever you want to try and what you think will work I guess I was kind of overly wordy, I was asking what you think will work right now. I have absolutely no idea (especially now). Haven't done much cold approach, back when I had time in my life I started the aa program, but moved to a new ci...

Went kind of OK. Not amazing, but did accomplish my goal of one live number. So my my main location and two backup locations were totally dead even though they were pretty well populated this time just a couple weeks ago. Maybe just that it's getting into fall? I dunno.

Heard back from the numbers? Heard back from one of them (only got two numbers, so actually kinda surprised even one was real/texted back :) ), #4. Tried to set up plans for Friday but I was busy earlier, and she was leaving for a camping trip this weekend Friday night. She asked if I was free next...
