>Try to build upper body for years
>Do push ups and bench and light cardio and have no results
>Do start lifting and focusing on pull muscle groups more
>Noticeable result in days
>Leaner tighter chest and slowly shrinking gut too
What gives? Are pull exercises and lifting just superior? Is something wrong with me or are push ups/benching a meme?

Lifting is superior to calisthenics and cardio yes, there's a reason people lift.

How do I go from skinny-fat to fit-but-thin? I don't wanna get swole

>you should spread put your meals over the course of day to maximalise musle growth?
That's a thing for pro body builders. Past a certain point of swoleness your muscles will start to break down if you go for a few hours without food. This isn't even really an issue if you are still mega swole but not extremely low body fat. For anybody but pro BB this isn't really that useful for retaining/building mass though *technically* I think spreading meals out more is generally good for you (but so is intermittent fasting). For the average person trying to maximize gains you probably get better results by eating (more) around the time you train.

>>46999
Lifting is better for muscle growth than calisthenics because you can train with higher weight, but calisthenics are fine if your goal is to do cardio/endurance strength. As for pulling vs pushing and losing weight you probably notice a tighter chest because of less body fat. Pulling won't make your pecs bigger, but you will have more of your chest shaped by pecs if you lose body fat there.

>Lifting is superior to calisthenics and cardio yes
None is superior to the others in general, they all do different things and ideally people would combine them all. Lifting weight maximizes your ability to gain muscle and raw strength. Calisthenics is good for mobility, stability, and some light cardio and supporting strength. Cardio is cardio - it's good for your cardiovascular system and is often neglected because the results aren't visible.

Nobody ever accidentally put on "too much" muscle mass. Just do some kind of training regularly, whatever you find appealing enough to do consistently. The only things you need to avoid are caloric surplus and progressive overload. Weight loss is more a diet thing than a training one.

i am not watching that new sappy chloe zhao or the new mental health pixar slop. let alone all the glorified student films in the live action short film category. i don't understand why dedicated cinephiles feel compelled to do a more thorough investigation of the nominees than the actual members of the academy

The new 28 Years Later rocks, it improves the first movie

what did y'all think of Eddington?

>>47213
It was too long but alright.

Speaking of which I just watched 'Bugonia', it was mid and the ending 'twist' is bad

>Gezhi Town
poor acting and weird chinese humor but some destruction scenes were good
I liked the ending scene where a chinese rambo was firing a machine gun with huge recoil and spitting blood

how come there no sci-fi general in here

>>43375
Make one, anon. There's nothing stopping you.

That's cool as fuck, I love when fantasy goes a step beyond. Makes the world feel so much more real.

Funniest part is that most of the men are still muscular.

Also inb4 "Muh mutants and Rogue were meant to represent the gay struggle"
Stan Lee literally created the idea of Mutants because he was tired of creating hundreds of backstories for the superpowers his characters had, so it was just "the X-Gene" and it let him create characters more freely… that's it, that was the entire motivation behind the X-Men. And the idea of alienation and wanting to be accepted by society is a universal concept among all people. The flamboyant designs are also just because it was cool, and literally applies to most superheroes in DC and Marvel that have no relation to the X-Men. If gay people identified with it, then good for them, but it wasn't intended to be specific to any one person or group, and people trying to say that are projecting their own political views onto illustrated power-fantasies for children and teens.

IMO Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes is probably the best version of the Avengers. Venxous has a good video series on the individual characters and generally its pretty well made for a capeshit cartoon series.

Also the intro theme slaps.

i thought parts were good but the whole people are selfish and evil part was mega shit. they could have done an analysis on how insane conspiracy theories parallel reality because people inherently know something is fucked up but rationalize it towards incoherent causes. i thought thats where they were going with it for a moment before they pulled a both sides

>>47218
To be fair, the original Korean movie Save The Green Planet also does this

i just downloaded it i'll watch it later today

it was okay. pretty fun. i knew exactly how it was gonna end tbh. watched with my gf and she didn't see it coming. honestly wish i hadn't, it would definitely be a lot better

>>47212
early yorgos is great

Me personally I fucking HATE Jax. TOTAL GANGLE LOVE! TOTAL RAGATHA LOVE!!!! Jax is an ASSHOLE and I bet he STINKS!!!

Also it reminds me of Berserk somewhat: people stuck in a shit situation and the only thing that can truly help is togetherness.

>>46864

I see. What makes it degen though?
I assume you generally have a negative preception towards shows or any mean of media that fits your definition of bourgeois?

>>46867
It was a joke
I like the show

>>46868

ah. same.

What do you thing about Jax' flashbacka in ep7? Were they fabricated by Caine or were they real? Did he kill someone or was he running away? I personally think the flashbacks are pretty meaningless and his life outside is shitty

>>47009
I have Tyranids as a proper army but haven't played a regular game in years. I mainly play kill team now.

>>47019
wanted to put together a Tau kill team but at my glances they seem to be trying to push Tau into using the kroot or the bug guys as a kill team, which is meh, whatever for me.
Another frustrating thing for me was searching for local groups, my city is pretty decent, has a lot of nerd shops and GW shop and shit so thought this would be easy, right? NOPE. every group in my locale is locked behind some shitty social media site… some have websites, but they're just landing pages trying to push you onto their fake and gay social media pages.
People are so obsessed with social media clout these days it's so pathetic, the only analogy i can think of to this would be like, 'you want to find out about local book clubs and reading groups? sure, we'll tell you all about it but only if you come in to the casino, relevant information will be posted nowhere else but the front of the slot machines at my members only, full credit card and personal details required to sign-up private casino.'
Fuckers.

GW used to sell a Tau kill team box that would have been what you are looking for, you can still find rules for it online.
https://ktdash.app/killteams/TAU-PF
But getting ahold of one now might be difficult, maybe you can find decent 3d printed proxies online.
>searching for local groups
I have avoided putting up with this by getting all the minis for smaller scale games and asking friends if they want to play with me. It's easy to get some of your buddies into it, when you can provide all the miniatures yourself, instead of trying to get them to buy a whole 2k points army.

>>47037
Yea, i was told that this team is being phased out of Kill Team, Next year is 25th anniversary of Tau though so i am thinking they might do a bunch of releases and a bit of a narrative push with them. Here's hoping anyway.
I'm going to get some of the little fire warrior guys then maybe a suit to paint for now, at least. Thinking of doing them in camo and such, like some in naval camo, some in green, should look pretty good.
>pic
They are all painted what in the promo's, which is, ehhh not great to begin with but on their website they also put them on white backgrounds (also large portions are always sold out). Why are GW like this? they are a top traded company? Legitimately farcical, someone tell me under what context this is a good way to sell a product, as compared to one of the few non-white examples pictured (still a dogshit colour and not even the same Tau tan colour they make them in their pictures?!

I understand why this company gives people aneurysms now, already.
