School

  • Questions I may be struggling with

11/21/2012

Classes:
I am currently enrolled in a University the classes I am taking: Calculus 1, Java 1001, Theology 1001, English 1001

Grades:
Currently they are as follows D, B, A, AB

How I feel towards them:
Damn, I hate Java class; it is simply moving too fast for me to keep up. I am fine with Calc even though it is my lowest grade, I simply bombed the first test REALLY bad and am struggling to catch up but the material itself isn't like an abstract theory to me.. I can and I am figuring it out; unlike Java where I am just hoping I get something right.

I am fairly decent at English and Theology is pretty much a joke class, very simple.

Questions I may be struggling with
As of now since I am on thanksgiving break I have nothing, but when I return I will probably post something here


11/27/2012

Sorry for the delays! I have been very busy the past day didn't get a chance to post. Anyway school is tough like normal, but that is expected it is college after all. Right now I have a calc test coming up this friday, I still need to learn rate of exchange, the local max/min/global max/min optimization. All that good stuff, but I have most of it already covered just need to get it cemented into my brain before the test. I MUST score at least an 80% on this test.


12/1/2012

That test was hard! argh oh well, this week is basically HELL WEEK.
Monday: 6 page paper due; did I start** no.
Tuesday: Nothing really (School work)
Wednesday: Again nothing really (School work)
Thursday: again.. (School work)
Friday: Computer Science final assignment due! fml.. so hard
Theology final paper due! (8 pages!) ARGH

All the while studying for finals which are NEXT week! the pain


12/7/2012

Last week of SCHOOL IS COMING! wooooot
This week was utter hell, finished all my work.. Just finished my comp sci program (Thanks to brandon/echo_/JJ)
This was my assignment: http://i.imgur.com/myXyo.png , http://i.imgur.com/myXyo.png

Finals week is coming … wish me luck


12/13/2012

Week is over…Semester is over!! Yes!!
i think i did mediocre on the calc final, and did even worse on the computer science final but aced my english paper and theology final. The cs final though will be curved dramatically, and well considering that a 44 is a f in his class… I should be fine.

I can't wait for my month break to begin! (well it already started but going home tomorrow!) i will update this a lot more frequently during my month break, have no fear ;p



12/22/2012

I passed all my classes , but didn't do as hot as I wanted on my math final so I may retake the class just to boost my GPA… >.<


1/22/2013

Damn school is HARD this semester, first day of Comp Sci class we get an assignment that maybe 1 or 2 people in the entire class know how to do… the rest of us are just sitting there blank faced.


1/31/2013

SCHOOL IS HARDDDD!!
ARGH, programming is raping me! I never really was a great programmer but I figured id learn the trade but now I am just getting attacked left and right and barraged with code lol java is my biggest hump if I can survive this I believe I will be fine..until operating systems (I have to make my own OS (got two more years :p) and freaking hardware where I have to learn assembly! Sorry for all the complaining ranting about life lol, calc 2 isn't easy either >.<… I am also rushing for a fraternity and its reallllly time consuming!.


3/4/2013

School… What can I say, it is very very difficult I bombed my first math test with a score of 35%, I didn't do so hot on my Comp Sci test either with a score of 42/80 (The average wasn't all that great either though).
I am really trying to pick myself up and really put the focus back in, I have another math test worth 20% of my grade this time this friday so I am studying 4 hours a day in order to prepare for this madness…. (I am taking Calc 2 for those who are wondering).
Math just isn't my forte but I do like programming when I get whats going on :p

Pray/Wish what ever it may be for me! I am going to need it.

11/21/2012

Current work out plan:
Dougs 4 day split
http://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/dougs-4-day-split-workout.html

What I am aiming for:
Basically I want to get "Bigger", I don't mind if that means adding a few pounds of fat along the way but I want my frame to generally enlarge.

I try to stick to it, but its hard when school keeps me up late and keeps my energy low.
I am restarting monday, I did it for two weeks then sorta fell off for a week.

Diet:
There is none yet, I need to work on that.


11/22/2012

thanksgiving! Have a good one fellas. Today my "health" diet is gone, i am going crazy on food!


11/27/2012

Workout
Dang, I have been slacking :/ two days and I have done nothing, two days and I have dieted nothing. I am eating like I will die soon, and not working out like it doesn't matter! I need to get my act together but I figure School > working out at this point. After finals I should have a lot more free time, and be a lot more energetic! (I will try to get into the gym though, even during finals). I have been playing sports though


12/1/2012

Sorry to disappoint, but I don't have the energy or the time during these final weeks of this semester to give full time to workout. The only time I get are when I do all nighters and am awake at 5:45.. with nothing better to do (Don't want to sleep because I won't wake up in 2 hours)

This has happened three times in the last week, I went to the nice little boxing room we have. Did rows for two hours one day, second day heavy bag training (Very tiring, I had to alternate the two hours with heavy bag and shadow boxing otherwise I would be too exhausted to get off the ground). The third day I used the speed bag (The secret here, is working on coordination through taking it slow and stopping the bag occasionally). I alternate here with footwork drills and the speed bag.

Here are the wraps/gloves I use
The gloves are some regular cheap gloves (The reason behind this is, they are just HEAVY bag gloves… meaning they have one purpose. I don't see spending $75 for a pair of gloves I can only use when hitting one type of bag)
http://i.imgur.com/3lTIFl.jpg
Heavy bag gloves (use with wraps)

My hand wraps
My wraps

I also have a sparring pair of gloves (I left them at home, figured I would never be boxing at school considering there is no ring)
Sparring gloves


12/22/2012

This entire week I followed that workout plan as detailed above! I hope to see major improvements in my body overall by April. I am not doing too well on the diet but honestly I am trying to get bigger not cut!

12/23/2012

Tribute post to rez:
Have a good time in college, we will always be here if you return!

Regarding real life:
It appears I have gained 4 pounds, even though I worked out every day this week (I literally gained 4 pounds in a week, lol I didn't think that was possible.. considering the fact I haven't gained or lost weight in over 3 months)

Oh well maybe it is just because I ate a big meal ;p
WILL get back to you guys on how that workout goes after one month, till then I will update other stuff.


1/6/2013

Workout wise, still going every day missed 3 days last week :/ but other than that have been going quite a bit. I made some slight new years resolutions but I mean they were my goals from before :p

I want to weigh 200 pounds and be at 10% body fat
I am currently 185 and at 14% body fat (Calculated it)

I want to be able to curl 45 pounds in each hand
I currently curl 20-30 on my left and 45 on my right hand (So basically I just want my left to catch up)
Reps of 12

I want to be able to bench (dumbbell) 65 pounds
I currently dumbbell bench 45 pounds
(I do reps of 12, so thats why all my weights seem really light :p)

I want to be able to shoulder press (dumbbell) 55 pounds
I currently shoulder press (dumbbell) 45 pounds
Again reps of 12



11/12/2013

I weigh 187 now, I def have packed on a few pounds not sure if it is muscle or just pure fat…ive been quite jolly with the food this month, but I have been working out pretty consistently.

My goal is to keep gaining muscle till May, then begin a 3 month cut (the worst 3 months ever**) lol


1/22/2013

Still working out everyday (well according to my schedule which is monday/tuesdays/thursdays/fridays the rest are break days) I really haven't seen much improvement but I have noticed one thing (my strength levels have dramatically decreased since coming to school :/) I think my diet may be really off or something as I just don't have the same energy


1/31/2013

Workout!
So I still go every time my schedule requires it (I missed friday last weekend, and monday this week) I made up mondays workout on tuesday though so I believe I am all caught up for the most part)
I have been able to get back to my "Old" strength which I think is great! I am just going as hard as humanly possible, I am cycling off creatine (I have been for a week) and I have noticed I can't pump as much as I normally do so it will be a hard month :p)

I am currently purchasing
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/clabs/purple.html
(Purple wraath, it is a non stim preworkout/interworkout)

http://www.optimen.com/
(Multi vitamin, tbh it is the best for the price and I heard it isn't tooooo hard to swallow)

http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3687539
That is the creatine powder I plan on taking from this point forward (I was taking: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/aap/kre.html)

I will purchase all of them after the month though of clean workout (I don't want to introduce stuff while cycling off stuff, might as well cycle onto stuff together and then cycle off them together)


3/4/2013

I still try to workout every required day but recently I have been slacking going maybe once or twice a week instead of the four times I am supposed to go, my schedule just isn't friendly for large allotments of time. I weigh nearly 195 now, I believe I have gone up in fat percentage though probably near 16-18% but I also feel pretty decent muscle gains. I am repping 55 pounds for dbl shoulder press, 60 pound dbl bench, 55 pound incline dbl bench/45 if I just did regular bench before it… When I say repping I can get 10+ in a single set which to me is pretty decent improvement.

Starting in April I will begin cutting weight for my sisters wedding in October (I will probably be clean bulking by then)
These are the supplements I plan on taking once I get my next paycheck! (I work at the library best job ever :p)

I have been off supplements for 4 weeks, so I feel refreshed and ready to get back on.
Creatine
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/bodybuilding-supplements/micronized-creatine.html
$15

BCAAS
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/bc.html
$22

Beta Alanine
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/infinite-labs/beta-alanine.html
$20

Pre-Workout
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/clabs/flood.html
$17

I have whey protein (5 pound container I won't be running out soon)
I only plan on taking the pre-workout when I really need that extra push (Mondays…)


3/13/2013

I just want to talk about muscles today, as that is what I have been obsessing about recently.
First I have been watching ALL of this guys videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/strengthcamp?feature=watch

Second, here is where I am at:
Bench dumbbell: 55 pounds (I will try 60 pounds next week)
Overhead Shoulder Press Dumbbell: 55 Pounds (Will stay at 55, as I cannot rep 12 yet)
Incline Curl: 20-25 pounds (Turns out I have been doing it wrong, my right hand is significantly stronger than my left that is why it is sooo low)

Things I will start doing, I have "Re-Vamped" my current workout plan with a lot of careful thinking…
MONDAY

Dumbbell Shoulder Press (55 pounds)
Dumbbell Lateral Raise (20 pounds)
Dumbbell Reverse Fly//Might just use a machine because I feel like I am imbalanced and I am screwing it up more by using dumbbells (I need to start doing this…)
Dumbbell Shrugs (75 pounds)

Dips (Just added this one, to replace skull crushers since I really don't trust myself and I am known to drop weights..idk why I just do)
Triceps Push down (Machine)
One Arm Cable Extension
One Arm Dumbbell Extension



TUESDAY

Wide Grip Pull Up
Close Grip Pull Down
One Arm Dumbbell Row
T-BAR Row (Just added this one)



THURSDAY

Dumbbell Bench Press
Incline Dumbbell Bench Press
Incline Dumbbell Flys
Cable Crossovers (waiting for the lines to die down sucks…)

Incline Dumbbell Curl
Concentration Dumbbell Curl (Just added this one, I need to actually focus on the bicep I believe my body forgot I had one and is using my forearms for all of the excersises… yes this is actually possible lol)
Preacher Curl
Standing Hammer Curl (But using this guys method: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKoTbVsDRrY)

FRIDAY

Squat
Leg Press
Leg Extension

Seated Calf Raise
Standing Calf Raise


Will edit more when I return…
I am starting my cut in april, which kinda sucks I want to bulk more but I am doing a tough mudder in September so I need to start cutting now to be in shape by then

Back

Supplements
I will be taking 20 grams of creatine monohydrate daily, for a week (then will dose 5grams a day)
I will be taking beta alanine daily
I will be taking BCAAs, take this daily
I will be taking a preworkout(white flood) on mondays and thursdays my most toiling days (Just to get that extra pump in)
I will be taking a multi-vitamin (Source life naturals)


4/12/2013

Not talking about school it is frustrating me beyond belief…
Workout wise, I am making progress.. getting bigger, lifting heavier, I feel myself filling in. I enjoy this!
How have you guys been?

11/21/2012

Just a little RS stuff for today as I am not in school at the moment so coding really isn't what I am doing.
Today I played on eoc post RS for the first time, and my opinions hmm.. I personally feel like it was a great move for Jagex and the game as a whole as it is evolving rapidly but in the same light I feel like it is a tragic place for extreme veteran players like myself to be in as it just is not the same game.


11/22/2012

uhh, so i am trying to get into eoc post rs by doing a little gambling and a little f2p pking. Here is a pic of the pking, and my f2p action bar.


11/23/2012
It sucks that even people with crappy armour can still kill you, and if you do all the clicking etc. You only get their crappy armour :p

11/23/2012

Renaming my computer section it is now the Misc section… where misc goes
Anyway! Today was black friday in the States, ended up buying a new pair of sneakers and a northface

These shoes
http://i.imgur.com/J4Hu9.jpg
Nothing too fancy just something to wear around with jeans, my other sneakers were pretty much near destruction.

http://i.imgur.com/4LQnB.png
Just something to wear ontop of hoodies etc, I didn't know if I should of gone a size bigger.. Tbh I am not a huge fan of how SHORT they are, it is like they are all made for short fat people, I am 6 foot and even the large was like meh above crotch (I like my jackets a little lower than that …)


11/24/2012-11/25/2012

Saw skyfall yesterday, meh thought it could of been more realistic
Going back to school today :( dang, enjoyed break!


11/25/2012

Not much happened today, got back to school. Stared at my workout sheet for tomorrow, took of a picture of my RS bank: http://i.imgur.com/qV9Kl.png

12/15/2012

School is over I am back home!
I started to get back into RS, after a super brief discussion with Shay/Sin in game… I decided to get 99 summoning, but then I decided agility is a cooler cape so I am going for 99 agility first :p!

The way I got members this is interesting, I created a new account and had my main as its "recruiter"… My new account got two months of members for the price of one, my main got 1 month + 10% bonus XP for 7 days. Basically, just got 2 months of members for free + an account with unlimited trade/12 free spins + more XP!

I am using a combination of Ash's script + one on powerbot for adv courses. (ash's script is very reliable so I leave that one during the day when I am not near a computer)

http://i.imgur.com/m2HzP.png

Anyone have suggestions for that new account** Basically I just am sitting on it with nothing to do. Any money making methods post EoC, I want to try as a noob to make a 100m.


12/16/2012

i know i wrote one like a hour ago, but i decided to blog about that new account!
And that road to 100m on it :)
just going to have to believe that i won't put money on it, tbh i really have no reason to/won't.
Now to make 100m without any skills… Initial startup!
Started botting combat (using powerbot, only because i found this script a while back and from what i hear it does everything i need to…and why not!)
http://i48.tinypic.com/2wguo8y.png


12/16/2012

so the agility training is going well!
http://i46.tinypic.com/1rc4dk.png
regarding my second account (the one with two months members, i decided i will be tanning hides… I was originally going to be sawing oaks, but came to the realization the script i wanted to use was vip only and i refuse to give powerbot more of my money after the whole "you get 3 months to use idung but for two months idung will not work because the client is outdated"!

Now i want to tan royal dhides, the problem i come to is they are really expensive! My solution to this problem is not sure yet! I just need to make 8m, then i can make 1m/hour (for one hour intervals, i would need to go back to the ge sell the leather and buy hides again until i can afford 4k hides etc. Etc.)

still 6 hours of this method is equal to 24 hours of the sawmill method.
Oh here are the stats to that account
http://i48.tinypic.com/2u4rm01.png

…lol wtf is up with imgur, with my recent uploads i have been getting other peoples' images


12/22/2012

RS wise… My main is more than half way to 99 agility XP wise!
The random account I got is also doing well currently at 10m wealth, this was done very interestingly.
I have yet to bot any wealth onto the account.
I basically made 500k one day from 5 spins, I gambled this 500k into 1m. I then banked everything went to the wild and looted for an hour (Yes, this is actually pretty profitable but only on low leveled accounts so you don't get killed) I managed to pickup (Several glories, a DH platelegs, and a dragon battle axe (Also many pots/foods/etc.))
All of that totaling to around 1.5m. I gambled 2.5m into 5m (I was kinda worried id lose it all at this point, but won!). I then joined a clan and they gave me 250k (Literally for joining, I quit shortly afterwards ;)). I was in w18 and someone challenged me to a fight… I agreed, and right before I died (I got past the border, someone pjed them and they died… I collected their loot ..I know I am bad but oh well I got 650k in gear, sold some stuff in the bank all in all that is around 6m…
At this point I said why not, and I gambled 1m and lost (Was back down to 5m) decided I wanted to win, so I gambled it all >.< and won :D… and now I quit gambling for a while lol)


1/6/2013

I apologize for not updating in a while, tbh nothing new has been happening in my life.
I achieved 99 agility, currently 99 smithing is the goal using rune bars this will make me lose a significant portion of my wealth but I want it real fast before I run out of members.
Thanks to ashman and someone on powerbot (used their script for agility)
Also thanks to the killer used his script a little for gold bars then realized gold bars were too slow :p


11/12/2013

Ignore all the "watermarking" I just didn't want someone to steal it :p (Even though I basically just went around the internet taking other peoples art them mashing the characters I liked into one picture :p)

From left to right
Green arrow
Superman
Batman
Green Lantern

I am thinking id have their symbols below them or something.. idk I feel like this would make an epic shirt or something


11/12/2013

In RS, this month was one hell of a month. Got 99 agility, 99 smithing, 99 range, currently getting a few more 99's :p


1/22/2013

Taking a break from RS to focus on school


3/4/2013

Misc.. not much, rs wise fun times I love 2007scape but alas I have begun botting already was too tempting so I created scripts to do my bidding…

Still focusing on school, "ain't nobody got time for that"…

2012-11-21 20:58:53

Jesus, your fitness plan is incredible! I never saw this b4, but it looks very helpful, covering all the main areas. Make sure you stretch properly and warm up before anything extreme, and make sure you always work out your shoulders, as they are probably the frame holders. Keeping them slightly heavier would be ideal.

Hope I can help!

Thanks yeah I looked into it heavily before picking this weight routine, it is quite the killer. It perfectly goes in tact with push pull muscles and rest is pretty much perfectly implemented.

Rezozo

2012-11-21 21:50:47

Im glad you found this, maybe Ill do something similar. Maybe lighter :p
Do you plan to stick to this legit? Also, for diets, drink TONS of water. Cannot stress that enough lol. Eat lots of spicy food, lots of berries, tons of water and run for 1h a day. That is what I did to lose weight pretty fast.
Also, remember, the deeper you breath, the more oxygen goes to your cells, the more energy can be used through aerobic respiration, thus more fat being processed and Boom. You have a high metabolism.

Did I just ramble on^^^? Soz :D

As far as the diet goes you can use this as a general guide:

For every pound of body weight you should eat one gram of protein daily. If you're 160lbs eat 160grams of protein daily. This is the general rule when you are trying to gain mass. Then you can split your diet as follows: 60%/30%/10% protein/carbs/fats. You may need to adjust these numbers to preferences and goals. If you want to get big you need to eat and eat and eat.

As far as workouts go, you can use this as a general guide:

Compound exercises which work several muscle groups at once are generally regarded as the most effective. Such as bench press, squats, deadlifts and pullups. Avoid isolation exercise. You want to work your entire body. And remember to LIFT HEAVY!

^ Just some information I figured might be useful.

Im glad you found this, maybe Ill do something similar. Maybe lighter :p
Do you plan to stick to this legit? Also, for diets, drink TONS of water. Cannot stress that enough lol. Eat lots of spicy food, lots of berries, tons of water and run for 1h a day. That is what I did to lose weight pretty fast.
Also, remember, the deeper you breath, the more oxygen goes to your cells, the more energy can be used through aerobic respiration, thus more fat being processed and Boom. You have a high metabolism.

Did I just ramble on^^^? Soz :D
~Rez


Haha, yeah water is important but running isn't too much! One hour of lifting burns far more calories than one hour of running. Running really is only good for your heart as it is an inefficient way to lose weight. Why spicy food o.o, unless you are using it like a laxative :p, the breathing thing is interesting!

From: Scorched
As far as the diet goes you can use this as a general guide:

For every pound of body weight you should eat one gram of protein daily. If you're 160lbs eat 160grams of protein daily. This is the general rule when you are trying to gain mass. Then you can split your diet as follows: 60%/30%/10% protein/carbs/fats. You may need to adjust these numbers to preferences and goals. If you want to get big you need to eat and eat and eat.

Yeah its easy said but pretty hard to follow in real life :/ especially in college where all the food is pre-made and you can't really choose the macros.

I only do isolation for certain muscles, as long as there is overload the muscle will grow. I think both are necessary to see great growth in faster time periods! (Lots of articles on the need for both)

Honestly though not trying to lose weight!
:p

Spicy food has many benefits (not only as a laxative ;) haha). They can be good for weight loss, blood pressure and your heart. Definitely worth looking into if you can eat them

Renaming my computer section it is now the Misc section… where misc goes
Anyway! Today was black friday in the States, ended up buying a new pair of sneakers and a northface

These shoes
Nothing too fancy just something to wear around with jeans, my other sneakers were pretty much near destruction.

Just something to wear ontop of hoodies etc, I didn't know if I should of gone a size bigger.. Tbh I am not a huge fan of how SHORT they are, it is like they are all made for short fat people, I am 6 foot and even the large was like meh above crotch (I like my jackets a little lower than that …)

That's a nice jacket, I want to get one like that next time I go jacket shopping. And for the hats, I wouldn't get one with those big gold stickers on it. Or at least if you do, remove it before wearing it. I don't know why but whenever I see someone wearing one with a sticker I think it looks like if they forgot to take the sizing sticker of the jeans leg :p

Wow, that was my first pick too!

Try this site to find shoes, then you can prob just type the name in on google/amazon etc. to find it cheaper!
http://www.finishline.com

Thanks! If you like running you should get running shoes, those are just plain old sneakers much better for walking then running in my opinion. Buy whatever you see just make sure it has an arc in the shoe.. running with an arcless shoe is just suicide on the feet :p The only problem with running shoes are they are not as "pretty" and have a bunch of useless patterns all over them. For example this shoe, it is amazing to run in but it is overly patterned (hard to match with anything you wear, but looks cool by itself :p)It is like running with clouds (so light) (The arc is inside the shoe, dw it is there!)

Thanks for asking :p, it was pretty awesome. Only had one other family besides mine come, due to everyone else being old and married off so they go with their new families but the youngest uncle and his family (My cousins are around my age (15-19) so it was nice. How was yours?

Yeah I find that to be very toolish, I always take the sticker off… I don't need to brag about a hats newness :p Should buy one they are very nice, I just don't like "how short" it feels… idk it may be just me and a crazy illusion.

Sorry for the delays! I have been very busy the past day didn't get a chance to post. Anyway school is tough like normal, but that is expected it is college after all. Right now I have a calc test coming up this friday, I still need to learn rate of exchange, the local max/min/global max/min optimization. All that good stuff, but I have most of it already covered just need to get it cemented into my brain before the test. I MUST score at least an 80% on this test.


11/27/2012

Workout
Dang, I have been slacking :/ two days and I have done nothing, two days and I have dieted nothing. I am eating like I will die soon, and not working out like it doesn't matter! I need to get my act together but I figure School > working out at this point. After finals I should have a lot more free time, and be a lot more energetic! (I will try to get into the gym though, even during finals). I have been playing sports though

I am just doing it recreationally for fitness mainly, it is my cardio (2-3 times a week for 1-3 hours at a time)

If you do it in a similar manner as myself, I would not try to arrange any fights until you have about two-three months of just shadow boxing/heavy bag/speed bag in. If you go daily for the same amount of hours, then I would say you could try arranging matches in a month or so; but if it is just for fitness enjoy yourself!

It isn't as easy as just "hitting that bag", requires some precision and dedication and just common sense to avoid injuries (it is really easy to hurt yourself)

12/1/2012

Sorry to disappoint, but I don't have the energy or the time during these final weeks of this semester to give full time to workout. The only time I get are when I do all nighters and am awake at 5:45.. with nothing better to do (Don't want to sleep because I won't wake up in 2 hours)

This has happened three times in the last week, I went to the nice little boxing room we have. Did rows for two hours one day, second day heavy bag training (Very tiring, I had to alternate the two hours with heavy bag and shadow boxing otherwise I would be too exhausted to get off the ground). The third day I used the speed bag (The secret here, is working on coordination through taking it slow and stopping the bag occasionally). I alternate here with footwork drills and the speed bag.

Here are the wraps/gloves I use
The gloves are some regular cheap gloves (The reason behind this is, they are just HEAVY bag gloves… meaning they have one purpose. I don't see spending $75 for a pair of gloves I can only use when hitting one type of bag)
Heavy bag gloves (use with wraps)

My hand wraps

I also have a sparring pair of gloves (I left them at home, figured I would never be boxing at school considering there is no ring)

They are super light weights (meant for bag only) I am pretty sure they are under 8oz. Basically glorified knuckle guards.

If you are getting into jujitsu, you will need a lot more time. Jujitsu is a full martial art (very similar to wrestling, I say bjj has more practical use)

Boxing does take a lot of time as well, but it can easily be done in spare time rather than a set time with set people etc.

Class at first, personal coaches are VERY expensive.
I mean if you can afford a personal then go personal, but boxing classes are basically just as good for beginners as they teach the fundamentals (How to punch, how to defend, how to move)

If you can do the fundamentals you can train on your own, but a personal is always better. (It is like group tutoring vs individual tutoring, you will learn easier if it is only you who has to learn… but the price will normally be 3x what a group price is)

Learn to make time in highschool, because once college hits time is not a luxury you can afford anymore.

You need to have some pretty solid time management skills once you get into college, at the moment I workout at 5:45 AM(Days I box), 8am the other days (Lift)

The morning is the only time I can find time :/.

Interesting blog. The food at your college looks pretty good to be honest. At my college there is just some junk food and some bad soup. Well to be honest I didn't really check it out properly because the prices are ridiculous :P

Hope your Computer Science final exam works out friday :stirthepot:
Classes are going too slow for me right now, everything is easy. It's not bad to get high grades easily but I'd rather work hard and get like a 6-7 out of 10 than passing programming classes with 10/10 which is what happened last semester.

The stuff you have to do is actually interesting, but my college is starting from scratch so it should get harder over time. Right now I'm learning some new things about exceptions, inheriting, etc. At college you learn it properly instead of learning it half decent from online tutorials or experimentating yourself.

Good luck with working out aswell, I'm also working towards a bigger frame/more mass. Currently at 86kg ~ 190 pounds at 1,98 meter/6'5. Aiming towards 95kg :spot:

I can't wait for my month break to begin! (well it already started but going home tomorrow!) i will update this a lot more frequently during my month break, have no fear ;p

Haha those schools would be awesome! I always regret not applying too far out of state (I applied to a bunch in state, then a few in Wisconsin/Indiana but that was about it)

12/15/2012

School is over I am back home!
I started to get back into RS, after a super brief discussion with Shay/Sin in game… I decided to get 99 summoning, but then I decided agility is a cooler cape so I am going for 99 agility first :p!

The way I got members this is interesting, I created a new account and had my main as its "recruiter"… My new account got two months of members for the price of one, my main got 1 month + 10% bonus XP for 7 days. Basically, just got 2 months of members for free + an account with unlimited trade/12 free spins + more XP!

I am using a combination of Ash's script + one on powerbot for adv courses. (ash's script is very reliable so I leave that one during the day when I am not near a computer)


Anyone have suggestions for that new account? Basically I just am sitting on it with nothing to do. Any money making methods post EoC, I want to try as a noob to make a 100m.

And that road to 100m on it :)
just going to have to believe that i won't put money on it, tbh i really have no reason to/won't.
Now to make 100m without any skills… Initial startup!
Started botting combat (using powerbot, only because i found this script a while back and from what i hear it does everything i need to…and why not!)

Thanks! I don't expect many combat updates, as I am just training it a little to get it above muggers etc. so I don't get attacked every step I take lol.

I think I will use some sort of script to make the initial money, then start flipping (Probably, but if I am extremely lazy I will just use scripts the entire way…still hard to find ones that work for accounts with barely any skills!)

12/16/2012

so the agility training is going well!
regarding my second account (the one with two months members, i decided i will be tanning hides… I was originally going to be sawing oaks, but came to the realization the script i wanted to use was vip only and i refuse to give powerbot more of my money after the whole "you get 3 months to use idung but for two months idung will not work because the client is outdated"!

Now i want to tan royal dhides, the problem i come to is they are really expensive! My solution to this problem is not sure yet! I just need to make 8m, then i can make 1m/hour (for one hour intervals, i would need to go back to the ge sell the leather and buy hides again until i can afford 4k hides etc. Etc.)

still 6 hours of this method is equal to 24 hours of the sawmill method.
Oh here are the stats to that account

Sorry for the long delay in updates, but I do have many!


I passed all my classes :), but didn't do as hot as I wanted on my math final so I may retake the class just to boost my GPA… >.<



This entire week I followed that workout plan as detailed above! I hope to see major improvements in my body overall by April. I am not doing too well on the diet but honestly I am trying to get bigger not cut!



RS wise… My main is more than half way to 99 agility XP wise!
The random account I got is also doing well currently at 10m wealth, this was done very interestingly.
I have yet to bot any wealth onto the account.
I basically made 500k one day from 5 spins, I gambled this 500k into 1m. I then banked everything went to the wild and looted for an hour (Yes, this is actually pretty profitable but only on low leveled accounts so you don't get killed) I managed to pickup (Several glories, a DH platelegs, and a dragon battle axe (Also many pots/foods/etc.))
All of that totaling to around 1.5m. I gambled 2.5m into 5m (I was kinda worried id lose it all at this point, but won!). I then joined a clan and they gave me 250k (Literally for joining, I quit shortly afterwards ;)). I was in w18 and someone challenged me to a fight… I agreed, and right before I died (I got past the border, someone pjed them and they died… I collected their loot ..I know I am bad but oh well I got 650k in gear, sold some stuff in the bank all in all that is around 6m…
At this point I said why not, and I gambled 1m and lost (Was back down to 5m) decided I wanted to win, so I gambled it all >.< and won :D… and now I quit gambling for a while lol)

Tribute post to rez:
Have a good time in college, we will always be here if you return!

Regarding real life:
It appears I have gained 4 pounds, even though I worked out every day this week (I literally gained 4 pounds in a week, lol I didn't think that was possible.. considering the fact I haven't gained or lost weight in over 3 months)

Oh well maybe it is just because I ate a big meal ;p
WILL get back to you guys on how that workout goes after one month, till then I will update other stuff.

Also, thank you, dat college life.

PS: Started my running regime of 2.5 miles a day. Been doing it for about 2 weeks now. Lost a ton of fat, gained a decent amount of lower body muscle.

Combine that with my relatively good diet and soon to come gym workout sessions, I will be set. Currently 9-10% body fat.

This will just be a miscer
I apologize for not updating in a while, tbh nothing new has been happening in my life.
I achieved 99 agility, currently 99 smithing is the goal using rune bars this will make me lose a significant portion of my wealth but I want it real fast before I run out of members.

Workout wise, still going every day missed 3 days last week :/ but other than that have been going quite a bit. I made some slight new years resolutions but I mean they were my goals from before :p

I want to weigh 200 pounds and be at 10% body fat
I am currently 185 and at 14% body fat (Calculated it)

I want to be able to curl 45 pounds in each hand
I currently curl 20-30 on my left and 45 on my right hand (So basically I just want my left to catch up)
Reps of 12

I want to be able to bench (dumbbell) 65 pounds each
I currently dumbbell bench 45 pounds
(I do reps of 12, so thats why all my weights seem really light.. and well dumbbell anything is significantly harder than barbell :p)

I want to be able to shoulder press (dumbbell) 55 pounds each
I currently shoulder press (dumbbell) 45 pounds
Again reps of 12



Hope you all had a great new years :)
Share your resolutions!

Ohh foods! good idea haha, good luck just bring a phone/pad of paper with you next time you go to the gym. Tbh no real need to do "1 rep maxes" just do what you can and for the rep range and try to improve from there.. formulas only go so far.

I want to weigh 200 pounds and be at 10% body fat
I am currently 185 and at 14% body fat (Calculated it)

Just read through the topic and you are 6", 200 pounds with 10% body fat at that height would be pretty muscular I'd say.

For my own "New Years Resolution", I don't really see it like that, but as they are my goals for 2013 it sort of is I guess.. :P

I'm personally 6"6 and aiming for 220 pounds/100 kg with <15% body fat. I have no idea what my bf% is right now, but I'm at 89 kg/196 pounds right now. Abs are "shining through" not exactly ripped, like this http://hubbyshome.com/wp-content/uploads/the-six-pack-challenge.jpg. I think I'm at like 12% bf or something.

Trying to get 100 kg/220 pounds this year while staying <15% fat. In my case that would be barely visible abs when not tightening. My main goal is gaining muscle/strength. I'm taking some pictures along the road and once I've reached 100kg I'll throw them up the web regardless of my bf% :P

Also looking to move out of house preferably this school year but atleast somewhere in 2013. Once I live in my own I can also eat some proper meals as my mother likes to eat vegetarian one day a week. When I live on my own in the city I'm studying at I'm also looking to play sports again.

Last year I got a major knee injury during a basketball game, but with my height it really is the ideal sport to do and I enjoy it. I'll see how it goes as I still feel my knee is a bit instable after certain moves. I'm just scared I will fall through it again it's a horrible experience.

To increase strength I'm also training legs every time I work out and planning to attempt squats because I feel pretty confident about my knee again. I might decide to do another sport like Baseball but as said before, with my height I should really take advantage of it. By gaining more mass I hope to look pretty scary for other smaller players. Which was already happening when I was at 180 pounds. Add 40 pounds to that and I would be pretty beastly I assume? :P

For your weights
I want to be able to bench (dumbbell) 65 pounds
I currently dumbbell bench 45 pounds
(I do reps of 12, so thats why all my weights seem really light )

As your main goal is gaining mass you don't want to do 12 reps. I suggest to move up your kgs once you are able to do 3 sets of 8 reps. Going from 45 pounds to 50 you can probably do 2 sets of 6 and 4-5 reps the third time. Keep doing that until you are at 8 reps again, repeat until false.

I bench press using a bar myself, pretty much wide grip due to the length of my arms. Managed to do 3 sets of 6x65kg last saturday so I'm pretty happy with that. Aiming for 90kg in 2013.

Anyways, good luck!

Still working out everyday (well according to my schedule which is monday/tuesdays/thursdays/fridays the rest are break days) I really haven't seen much improvement but I have noticed one thing (my strength levels have dramatically decreased since coming to school :/) I think my diet may be really off or something as I just don't have the same energy

Sorry for all the complaining ranting about life lol, calc 2 isn't easy either >.<… I am also rushing for a fraternity and its reallllly time consuming!.

Workout!
So I still go every time my schedule requires it (I missed friday last weekend, and monday this week) I made up mondays workout on tuesday though so I believe I am all caught up for the most part)
I have been able to get back to my "Old" strength which I think is great! I am just going as hard as humanly possible, I am cycling off creatine (I have been for a week) and I have noticed I can't pump as much as I normally do so it will be a hard month :p)

I am currently purchasing
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/clabs/purple.html
(Purple wraath, it is a non stim preworkout/interworkout)

http://www.optimen.com/
(Multi vitamin, tbh it is the best for the price and I heard it isn't tooooo hard to swallow)

http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3687539
That is the creatine powder I plan on taking from this point forward (I was taking: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/aap/kre.html)

I will purchase all of them after the month though of clean workout (I don't want to introduce stuff while cycling off stuff, might as well cycle onto stuff together and then cycle off them together)

So how is C++? I'm planning to take C++ with close to simple coding knowledge. The only language I kind of know is HTML and pascal a bit. Will it be hard if I take C++?

I found it easy to pick up the basics and if you put in the time to practice writing codes then you'll do fine. That's basically what I've been doing and am well ahead of the rest of the class and hold a A+

I believe c++ is simply a better language to learn, I would say in terms of "hardness" Java > c++. In terms of practical use C++ > Java.

It isn't as complex for simple things (My next class is a c++ based class, where he gives us 2 weeks to learn everything about c++ then we begin work -.-…im pumped lol)

Well thank you for the tips.. Studying and trying hard won't be a problem at all. After all Simba will be the solution to my runescape problems..Btw, I'm starting my courses in 4 days..

Yeah I felt that learning Pascal thorugh here kinda helped out with picking C++ up quickly

Wow guys I apologize for not updating in forever, I could of sworn I updated this like last week!

3/4/2013

School… What can I say, it is very very difficult I bombed my first math test with a score of 35%, I didn't do so hot on my Comp Sci test either with a score of 42/80 (The average wasn't all that great either though).
I am really trying to pick myself up and really put the focus back in, I have another math test worth 20% of my grade this time this friday so I am studying 4 hours a day in order to prepare for this madness…. (I am taking Calc 2 for those who are wondering).
Math just isn't my forte but I do like programming when I get whats going on :p

Pray/Wish what ever it may be for me! I am going to need it.

I still try to workout every required day but recently I have been slacking going maybe once or twice a week instead of the four times I am supposed to go, my schedule just isn't friendly for large allotments of time. I weigh nearly 195 now, I believe I have gone up in fat percentage though probably near 16-18% but I also feel pretty decent muscle gains. I am repping 55 pounds for dbl shoulder press, 60 pound dbl bench, 55 pound incline dbl bench/45 if I just did regular bench before it… When I say repping I can get 10+ in a single set which to me is pretty decent improvement.

Starting in April I will begin cutting weight for my sisters wedding in October (I will probably be clean bulking by then)
These are the supplements I plan on taking once I get my next paycheck! (I work at the library best job ever :p)

I have been off supplements for 4 weeks, so I feel refreshed and ready to get back on.
Creatine

BCAAS

Overhead Shoulder Press Dumbbell: 55 Pounds (Will stay at 55, as I cannot rep 12 yet)
Incline Curl: 20-25 pounds (Turns out I have been doing it wrong, my right hand is significantly stronger than my left that is why it is sooo low)

Things I will start doing, I have "Re-Vamped" my current workout plan with a lot of careful thinking…
MONDAY

Dumbbell Shoulder Press (55 pounds)
Dumbbell Lateral Raise (20 pounds)
Dumbbell Reverse Fly//Might just use a machine because I feel like I am imbalanced and I am screwing it up more by using dumbbells (I need to start doing this…)
Dumbbell Shrugs (75 pounds)

Dips (Just added this one, to replace skull crushers since I really don't trust myself and I am known to drop weights..idk why I just do)
Triceps Push down (Machine)
One Arm Cable Extension
One Arm Dumbbell Extension



TUESDAY

Wide Grip Pull Up
Close Grip Pull Down
One Arm Dumbbell Row
T-BAR Row (Just added this one)



THURSDAY

Dumbbell Bench Press
Incline Dumbbell Bench Press
Incline Dumbbell Flys
Cable Crossovers (waiting for the lines to die down sucks…)

Incline Dumbbell Curl
Concentration Dumbbell Curl (Just added this one, I need to actually focus on the bicep I believe my body forgot I had one and is using my forearms for all of the excersises… yes this is actually possible lol)
Preacher Curl
Standing Hammer Curl (But using this guys method: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKoTbVsDRrY)

FRIDAY

Squat
Leg Press
Leg Extension

Seated Calf Raise
Standing Calf Raise


Will edit more when I return…
I am starting my cut in april, which kinda sucks I want to bulk more but I am doing a tough mudder in September so I need to start cutting now to be in shape by then

Back

Supplements
I will be taking 20 grams of creatine monohydrate daily, for a week (then will dose 5grams a day)
I will be taking beta alanine daily
I will be taking BCAAs, take this daily
I will be taking a preworkout(white flood) on mondays and thursdays my most toiling days (Just to get that extra pump in)
I will be taking a multi-vitamin (Source life naturals)

Lol I can do that, remind me in august. I should have "after" pictures by then, don't expect the hulk lol I am a pretty average guy with average Asian genetics but I believe I have made progress! This will only truly be visible though after the cut on the excess fat I have been gaining from bulking.

Hey man, was just reading reddit about Rich Roll, vegan ultramarathon runner. He has some interesting things to say regarding health, fitness and diet. I found him very inspiring!!

if you read through the comments he answers questions, I think I will buy his book as well.

Did you ever sign up on bodybuilding.com? I usually check around the Misc section there.. a lot of funny posts and sometimes some broscience - http://forum.bodybuilding.com/forumdisplay.php?f=19
You might come across me some day, my account has JJ in it.. :P

Regularly updating your bodyspace is a nice way to keep track of your weight and look back in the future. I'm hitting 95kgs now I believe so around 210 pounds.

I was 84,6kg on 25 september 2012 so I gained more than 10kg / 22 lbs in 5 months.. Pretty insane but unflexed my abs are still slightly visible and flexed they are pretty apparant.
Think I will be hitting 100kg/220lbs somewhere in Summer, it was my goal for the end of 2013.. pretty insane gains.

Ah I read through a lot of his material after you introduced it to me! It is very fascinating but I doubt I could ever do that, or want to in this case. He truly is an amazing man though.

I am on BB, I should have a log coming up soon on that site for my cut (which I am just starting, apparently school and keeping a strict strict diet is very hard for me to do :p)

Well I finished year one, only 3 more to go …


Fitness

Honestly just toning back from my fitness craze, just playing basketball and trying to eat a little better. Its the small things in life


Misc (Rs included)

Man oh man… first I want to apologize for never updating this life has just be hectic. I am not going to promise you any new scripts or 50 guides I just want to start off small and build myself up instead of making impossible goals which result in me crashing and burning.

These last couple months have been hectic to say the least, I don't even know where to begin.
Ill try anyway
Ill start with the things that bothered me the most, my family.
I am an adult (19 years old) so basically this is what I come home to when I returned from college this year. My father being a crazy alcoholic and my mom not knowing when she should probably not sass or backtalk. It was a rough transition back and it would of been a violent one provided my sister didn't return home and calm me down every time some episode happened. I don't know what it is I am feeling but its just a deep void of sadness to say the least, everyday I look at my life and wonder what it could of been like if I was the neighbors kid or the guy down the streets etc. etc. Not to bash my parents or anything, I live a nice life they make a nice living at their respectful jobs but sometimes you long for more and I am not sure what it is I am looking for maybe actual care of my wellbeing for my sake not for looking good in front of other people not sure, I will figure it out as time goes I guess. Again not trying to sound ungrateful, my parents have provided for me time and time again its just I feel like there is a huge hole where something should be in the relationship between my dad and I. Oh well I am an adult, I don't know why this is pegging me now of all the times in my life it has never felt like this.

Anyway thats over with next topic in my life, females…
So I will confess that I am the biggest jackass in the world, I was talking to a new girl then my ex got back involved with my life, back and forth back and forth for a couple months but I didn't date either of them. I felt like such a scumbag recently that I ended it with both of them and told them I just can't be in a relationship. This is probably the first time in my life I have been completely single since like 8th grade… Its an interesting feeling, very very odd. Cant say I like it.

Anyway thats whats been going on
