  1. Personally, I find their newest album (Hakusei) to be one of their best. There are some bloody incredible songs on there. Ammonite is also brilliant, and probably my favourite.


  2. yeah its a lot better than their earlier stuff, satoshi's been a good composer but yuuki's voice is too rough and grating for his compositions. akane worked perfectly and i can mention a bunch of current vocalists that would sound better than yuuki.

    i wanna see savage and DOAK disband so yuuki and takeru (savage) make a band, he does better on heavy alt-metal/metalcore than this bleep bloop shit--which isn't bad, it just sounds awful with yuuki on it.

    we need a late 2000's comeband band with yuuki on the vocals yas bitch im calling ex-deathgaze, ex-gossip, ex-unsraw, ex-DI3SIRAE, ex-dio, ex-NEGA bitch and THATS the shit i wanna hear yuuki on. this old para:noir stuff isnt for a vocalist as unpolished as him.

    PREACH.


  3. You guys should really join Fitocracy. I have a Monochrome Heaven fitness group all set up, and we can have group-wide challenges. Earn points from your exercise, level up, complete quests, and maaaaaaaaaaaaaybe the winner of the group challenges will get an extra sumthin sumthin'...

    I would but marking my progress is distracting as it is XD losin dem gainz wen i go on mi fone ye?


  4. I started to fall back into my rut again over the past week, but I managed to pull myself back up today before it got too bad. I plan on doing weekly updates, but I'll just summarize this month in this post.

    Feb. 2nd -

    1x set of 50 of my chair exercise routine (closest "normal" exercises would be 50x Chest Flys, 50x Seated Good Mornings, 50x Seated Side Lateral Raises, 40x Russian Twists)

    Feb 3rd -

    3x set of 50 of my chair exercise routine

    1x set of 250 frog kicks (I lie on my back and kick my legs out 250 times on each leg.)

    2x set of 50 Seated Hip Abduction

    Kudos on coming back from the brink! It's really tough on your willpower after having time off. I did really well last year up until December when I got a bit ill and then a bunch of other minor things got in the way until now. Keep it up!


  5. I'm currently working with a Push/Pull split twice a week (so 4 days with weights) coupled with 2 days of yoga. My hamstrings and hips are ridiculously tight.

    After one session of yoga I could touch my toes for like the first time ever! Flexibility is key to me because I want to be able to do proper back squats instead of half-reps. It's definitely working because the DOMS in my quads this week after each push session has been unreal!

    Currently I can bench more than I can squat so I REALLY need to sort this out. My legs are embarrassingly weak compared to my upper body!

    For scope, at the moment I'm benching 50kg for 4 sets of 8 (I can do 60kg for 3 reps so I assume my 1 rep max is around 65kg?). My back squat (past parallel) is 45kg for 4 sets of 5. With that said, I'm increasing weight in each session by 2.5kg so soon I should be able to surpass my benching level :)

    So! In terms of my aims, I want-

    -stronger legs (both quads and hamstrings)

    -slightly less child-like calves

    -bigger/rounder shoulders

    -stronger biceps (I haven't really focused on these ever)

    -stronger core muscles

    -more flexibility

    Aside from that, I'm pretty happy! My chest, triceps, and back are pretty well defined. My girlfriend likes my butt too, so I guess I also have that covered XD

    Sorry for the long post! Just thought I'd share some stuffs!


  6. I've tried adding weights to my routine before, to varying success. The best method for me, judging from past experience, is to build up endurance, get to 6 reps of 50, then add small weights once the 6x50 reps becomes no longer challenging. My muscles might be different in the fact that too much weight makes it so I can't move at all. Gravity seems to be acting as enough of a weight right now, and my first step is to make it si gravity offers negligible resistence.

    All that being said, I'll see if I can find the resistance bands I have around here....somewhere.

    Welcome to the new thread nullmoon!

    Fair enough! The beauty of workouts is that they are different for everyone :)
