    Agreed. I actually really like I Believe In Me; there's some nice variety going on and the harder tracks are awesome. Greedy Dead Souls is my favourite mainly due to the whole range of sounds and atmospheres they create. 

     

     

     

     

    This is probably blasphemy but I haven't sat through The Avoided Sun once. Every song on there sounds the same to me :/

     My normal routine consists of "sets" of 50 of each of the exercises I posted in the video further up

     

    I noticed in a previous post you wanted to build muscle; 50 reps is waaaaaay too high! Generally, people aim for 3-5 reps for strength, 8-12 reps for hypertrophy (muscle growth) and 15-20 for endurance/tone. It might be worth adjusting the weight in order to fall into the desired rep scheme.

     

    Your cocktail sounds incredible; you must be huge! :o

    running and/or walking every day but I'd inevitably lose motivation and quit. I'm going to try to find time to go for a walk or run at least 3 times a week as soon as I shake this horrible cold I got from work and settle into a new work/school schedule. Would really like to get a membership at the YMCA that's close to my house since it has a pool but it's kind of expensive compared to some gyms in town. u__u

    Anyone have any suggestions for super easy quick meal plans for someone who is about to have next to no time to prepare things three days a week that doesn't involve eating leftovers of the same thing more than twice a week?

     

    I would recommend trying HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) at home if you want to save some time and money. You can do it in the comfort of your own home and it usually takes less than half an hour. They're intense and you have to put in a lot of work, but due to the shock it gives your body, you will continue to burn calories even after you've worked out. This can sometimes last up to a day or two, so in conjunction with eating less crud you'll see results fairly swifty.

     

    In regards to food, maybe cook loads of things in advance? Maybe prepare loads of vegetables and distribute them evenly throughout the week with different types of carbs and protein? So Monday you could have vegetables with rice and tuna, Tuesday you could have vegetables with pasta and chicken etc. I highly recommend roasting the shit out of red peppers and courgettes; they taste incredible.

    So I was thinking of just doing situps and crunches at home. I don't really know if it'll do anything, but it's better than doing nothing at all. 

     

    If you have any weights, or anything heavy for that matter, try doing weighted crunches. They'll work much better than tons of regular crunches and will help to train your abs as a muscle (if you want definition that is). The key to abs is mostly a good diet (lots of vegetables, lots of water, no/way less sugar). I've been eating fairly well over the past month (pretty much just cut out chocolate, artificial junk, and ate more vegetables) and now I actually have definition and the fat has reduced. Cardio also helps (you can do some killer HIIT exercises at home and they take up less than half an hour of your time) but diet is the key. Hope this helps!

    This is a cool idea, and I'm not even in it for the free stuff! I was pretty scrawny at the start of last year so I started lifting weights. It's almost been a full year and since then I've actually developed pecs and muscle definition. In particular lighting, I have a 4 pack but I still have a bit of pooch :)

     

    My goal for this year is to grow stronger. I've been lifting weights mostly for hypertrophy but this year I just want to be able to lift heavy shit. At the same time I also want to be stronger in general, so I'm doing daily calesthenics to increase the amount of pull ups and push ups I can do. If anyone else is looking to do the same, I strongly recommend Greyskull LP. I've just started it and it pretty much enables hypertrophy and strength gains without working out for hours on end. Plus it's really convenient (I've just being doing it from home).

     

    I've done quite a bit of research over the past year on weight training, effective exercises and fat loss so if anyone wants any information or advice, I'll be more than happy to help.

    Tefu Tefu is awesome, especially the solo.

    Unfortunately I disagree with all comments regarding Sukekiyo's superiority. Personally I think the only song of theirs that has any significance is Aftermath because it's one of the most perfect songs I've ever heard.

    Oh and the opening to Hemimetabolism is beautiful.
