Saoru What sorta routines do you have? I started just a couple of months ago, maybe 3.

      I've recently decided to start a calisthenic based routine with some weightlifting. I felt a bit silly about it at first, but by the end of the week I was fairly sore. Someone made a Solid Snake workout so I took the .pdf and added some stuff and renamed it Venom Snake. https://silver-aida-82.tiiny.site/

      I've written it down separately so I can make some changes to it as I might see fit. I've also been working on more stretching and running. I was bulking for a bit but it felt more like It was just making me big in the stomach.

          Saoru Oh wow, that looks pretty intense ^^'7 Does it not take up much of your time?

              It certainly does, I will take a bag with gym clothes to work so I can work out immediately after. By the time I get home I don't have a lot of time to do anything other than eat and prepare for the next day. I've gotten used to the time aspect, so I typically wont exercise on my days off. That being said it does take a certain amount of dedication, but I've been wanting to get better about my fitness. Of course I will take a day off from it here and there but the goal is to stay disciplined about it. Like I said before fortunately fitness for a long time has benefited the work I've done so it helps for motivation.

                  Saoru Well as long as it's useful to you, it makes sense~ I'm mainly going to the gym from an aesthetic perspective - I'm getting a bit too old to be lookin' like a soyboy ^^'

                      malmon IM GOOD! Just came back from vacation from california. now im back at work, but every day is a new step forward to all of my goals 🙂 (work sucks xd) Image no longer available

                          COUPLED Oh awesome! How was the holiday? What did you get up to?

                          I've been alright. Ups and downs as usual~ Still trying to get promoted at work, but it hasn't been going too well =_= Been learning Japanese for a while though!

                              malmon I'm making it my ultimate goal. Everything I'm doing now is to prepare to move there!!!!! I would have quit this job already if I didn't make this my goal as my job is ultra horrid but it allows me to save. I also am living with 4 OTHER people so I can save as much as possible. and going to japanese class while working 50 hours a week is tough xD. How are you with japanese?

                                  Hiiiii uwu <3

                                  Had my ups and downs, you could say. Don't know when I talked to ya last, but I got out of a 3-year-long psychotic break about March '24. Been strugglin' to make up for lost time.

                                  These days, I'm actually focusing on creative stuff, and studying Japanese! In fact, I might be @malmon 's 先輩 in that respect~. Let's catch up when you got time. My Discord's "perfectaxiom", if you wanna chat one-to-one. ^~^

                                      Backlash YAYYYYY LETS ALL LEARN JAPANESE!!!!!! and that is good that you're on that wave now!! proud of you :').

                                          Backlash Ummm, I'm about to finish genki II! I havent really tried to watch any anime without subtitles but for example when they speak clearly on Asumanga Daily I feel like I can understand some of it : P
