| What happens with Army/Navy in the era of CFP expansion? * The first round of the playoff is supposed to occur in either the 2nd or 3rd Saturday of December
* Army/Navy has been locked into the second Saturday for a decade and a half
* Navy can't really move it up a week unless they forfeit the AAC Championship game
* It's not unfathomable to think Navy could be in the discussion for the 5th or 6th best conference champion, or even an at large. They already got close twice with the past decade.
* All teams will want to know their opponent (as well as just whether or not they actually made the CFP at all) ASAP
The current [protocol](https://collegefootballplayoff.com/sports/2016/10/24/selection-committee-protocol.aspx) says:
> If the committee believes the result of the Army‐Navy game could affect Army’s or Navy’s ranking and therefore its place in the playoff or its selection as the group of five representative, only the pairings that affect Army or Navy would be delayed until after the Army‐Navy game. In such case, the committee would convene by teleconference as soon as practicable after conclusion of the game and would announce its revised rankings that Saturday night.
How close do one of those teams actually have to be for the game to *possibly* influence it? What if they're ranked something like 18th leading up to the game?
And I'm not sure that you could say only certain pairings would get affected. Obviously there's a possibility of it trickling down the entire seed order. | not moderated |

| Question: who are the top 5 characters in smash ultimate? Answer: depends on the matchup.
This game has no top 5 it's impossible to just say 5. There isn't even really even a top 10. You have to name over a dozen characters to really encompass every character that is "all around a good choice"
People wanted to ban Steve but Steve has a half dozen bad matches and is really swingy in sets. Out of materials and weapons=utter trash, loaded with ston, iron and diamond weapons=among the best characters in the game/kinda broken.
This game is so balanced that you can never declare a best character. There are a bunch of top tier characters and all of them can be reduced to shambles by tye right matchup and counterplay | moderated |

| [OC] Looking at Betting Odds before World Cups in the 21st Century Was bored at the airport some months ago and started looking at what the odds before each World Cup. My main source was Google and didn't spend a lot of time checking with different sources and whatnot. The moment I couldn't find odds for the 1998 WC I quit. Found this in my notes today and thought I should post it, seeing as how the odds for the upcoming WC are in a similar time frame as the odds I found for previous editions. So...
***Qatar 2022***
* Brazil --- 4.5 / 1
* England --- 5.5 / 1
* France --- 6 / 1
* Argentina --- 7 / 1
* Spain --- 8 / 1
***Russia 2018***
* Brazil --- 4.5 / 1
* Germany --- 4.75 / 1
* Spain --- 6 / 1
* France --- 6.5 / 1
* Argentina --- 9.5 / 1
***Brazil 2014***
* Brazil --- 3 / 1
* Argentina --- 5 / 1
* Germany --- 5 / 1
* Spain --- 6 / 1
* Belgium --- 16 / 1
***South Africa 2010***
* Spain --- 5 / 1
* Brazil --- 5.5 / 1
* England --- 7 / 1
* Argentina --- 7.5 / 1
* Netherlands --- 11 / 1
***Germany 2006***
* Brazil --- 2.5 / 1
* England --- 8 / 1
* Germany --- 8 / 1
* Argentina --- 8 / 1
* Italy --- 9.5 / 1
***Korea Japan 2002***
* France --- 3 / 1
* Italy --- 4 / 1
* Argentina --- 5 / 1
* Brazil --- 7 / 1
* Spain --- 9 / 1
***And now to some interesting bits of trivia:***
Brazil and Argentina have been in the top 5 for every WC of this century.
Spain is the only winner to have had the best odds before the start of a WC
Belgium and Netherlands are the only two countries to show up only once
Brazil are really good at football and will probably win this one so congrats Brazil! | moderated |

| I feel as if champs are getting progressively worse As a champ 1 a couple years ago being a freestyler I had good mechanics and yet even being a freestyler and focusing on crazy shots with crazy consistency people could keep up. Fast forward to now and people in C1 can't do that anymore nor can they keep up it's crazy. The only thing is I was punished for doing stupid plays and that is why I stayed in champ so I played smarter but still retaining all of my skill. I came back to climb to gc than I was instantly hit with idiots who can't do anything right yet they are somehow in champ. Constantly dealing with ballchasers, teamates constantly throwing away possession, constantly making rotational mistakes, zero game sense, no defensive capabilities/ offensive capabilities. How do I have fun if I can't do anything but completely change my playstyle and it still not being enough. This is not how things were, it's a champ bargain sale. What happened while I was away? Do I have to simply play with half a brain cell and a broken controller? Also no offence to all the champs who don't play like they gave the controller to a newborn it just seems like I'm running into the only bad people in this rank. :'( | not moderated |

| Getting back into playing Hey hope you’re having a good day, tbh I haven’t touched yugioh since I used to play competitively back in highschool. At the time the top decks were dragon rulers, Dino rabbits , wind ups and , mermails from what I remember. Used to run evilswarms and dark worlds, getting some good results at locals. Last deck I was playing was battlin’ boxers since they were kinda not common and fun. Would love to get back into playing at locals since I moved to a bigger city. Noticed the new monsters types like pendulums and links. Already got the hang of them but can’t decided on which deck to play. Which decks would you recommend playing with that’ll be fun and compete at locals ? | moderated |

| Warhammer 3 needs more morally/diplomatically grey factions Right now there are four factions types. Good, Evil, Super Evil, and Tombkings. Tombkings shouldn't be in a class all its own, there should be more morally grey factions who can befriend anyone if they try hard enough without every order faction trying to kill them on site. Right off the bat a few come to mind...
Exists
- Greasus - less genocidal than Skrag. He takes pay from most anyone and most anyone will take pay from him
- Saratosa - while pirates, they're still humans... mostly. A diplomacy change to treat them more like a human faction could be just the buff they need
----------------------
Does not
- Dogs of war - if it ever exists, this is an obvious choice. What's greyer than mercs?
- Marrienburg - if they ever somehow get a LL, gold speaks louder than guns or gospel in their merchant cities
- Araby - Not quite good, not quite evil, and almost certainly never to exist. (There's a very good mod for them though) | not moderated |

It seems like ultra shimmery and metallic shadows are the trend right now, but I can't stand the look of them on my eyes for everyday.

| Are my cheat days acceptable for a beginner like me? I've been doing at least two workout excercises every week usually on mondays and wednesdays, although next week I'll push to do it on fridays as well. And I've just decided to not eat almost any sugar-heavy or fast-food beverages or drinks, just pure water and homemade meals all day except for two days.
On wednesday I realized that that day is a threshold for me to at least eat a little something to satisfy some of the things that I mentioned that I should avoid so I go for like a small cake or any meager amount of sweet biscuits or chocolate, except for soft drinks or milk teas I still want to avoid that, just to push me through the week, and I guess I kinda considered it as like a mini-cheat day.
And the last is sunday, which is my once a week cheat day. I always go for the foods that I avoid but at a moderate amount and only at dinner. Usually I've just been sticking to a 22oz milk tea with chicken pesto pasta and french fries ever since because I just really like pasta and fries.
I really just want someone to validate these excuse I put onto myself since even though I've heard that having a cheat day is good for you psychologically and physically, its like the fact that I ate something that I am avoiding and possibly can setback my efforts is nagging me every week. | not moderated |

| Can I lose weight and get in better shape simultaneously? First, on mobile, so I apologize in advanced.
I know this is probably a silly question but... is it possible to lose weight (with calorie deficit) and get into better shape (via the gym + outdoor activities) simultaneously?
I do eventually want to build some muscle but I know it's tricky to actually build muscle while in a deficit. But more to the point, I am in TERRIBLE shape. Like winded going up a flight of stairs. I don't remember the last time I jogged. I am not active and have a lot of chronic pain, no doubt made worse by being so heavy.
I would absolutely love to improve this while also losing weight. I plan on doing beginner workouts and light cardio at the gym, at least 3 times per week but hopefully more. Starting out slow. Can this be done? | not moderated |

| [Rolex] Explorer II 16570 Polar - 2 years later Two years ago I purchased this watch to celebrate a big milestone at work. I used that as a justification but you can’t really justify spending that much for a used 2004 watch. The itch was just too strong. However, two years later I can confirm I have absolutely zero regret making this purchase. I have a few watches in my collection but there’s none I wear as often as this one. It’s full of scratches and dings but I don’t care. Heck I even garden with it! It’s super comfortable and flies under the radar, yet is full of personality. I feel naked when I’m not wearing it.
I wouldn’t buy another Rolex though as I dislike what the brand has become. Thinking about something a bit dressier for the next one, maybe an Aqua Terra or a Grand Seiko. TBD. In the meantime I’ll keep wearing my dear GADA everyday. | not moderated |

Looking for some help or advice with my hair - my entire family have hair that is wavy or curly. I have been trying the curly girl method for a few months on and off but have stopped recently due to being unhappy with results. What can I do to improve my hair/waves? Do I need to just continue trying my routine until eventually it gets better? Or do I actually just have straight hair? I would love any advice at all!
Photos: first two photos is my hair using my routine probably a couple months in when I was trying it out (pretty much beginner routine). The second two photos is my hair today brushed out so it's a bit fuzzy. I have been using hair straighter to straighten and curl it recently so it probably has some damage.
**Routine I tried for awhile:**
Used tea tree shampoo in the shower and TRESemme Botanique Restore & Shine conditioner - used a comb to comb out conditioner and knots in shower when hair was wet.
Then would scrunch with cotton t-shirt, then add Fructose Style Ultra Strong Gel and continue scrunching. Would let it either air dry or dry with a diffuser on a hairdryer. | not moderated |

| Modifying Convict Conditioning to prioritise muscle-gain: Part 1 (with some embedded periodisation) # Modifying Convict Conditioning: Part 1
**Contents:**
* Introduction
* Purpose
* Exercise Science Principles & Periodisation
* Limitations
* Program Example & Application
* Where next?
* Conclusion
​
**Introduction:**
Hi there reader! I'm writing this guide for a few simple reasons: a) I simply enjoy writing fitness content, b) Convict Conditioning (CC) inspired me to actually take *Strength Training* seriously years ago and c) I can see many people on this subreddit ask questions about CC and I'd simply like to give my 2c worth regarding how the program *could* be used.
I believe CC can be useful as an accessible text for **building basic muscular strength, endurance and muscle mass** as a beginner with very limited equipment. There are *plenty* of better options, however. People seem to still want to run the program regardless, so I'll be making modifications in the "spirit" of the program as much as possible.
I made my first post on this subreddit a short while ago, it's [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/comments/vqer35/lower_body_hypertrophy_with_bodyweight_training/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) and it explains my background and provides some insight into the physiology justifying the assumptions in this post. Please *give that a read* first if you haven't. I've titled this "Part 1" in-case people enjoy this and would like more information.
​
**Purpose:**
To explain how some simple tweaks can make to CC for the purposes of building muscular strength, endurance and muscle mass, better. It will also teach people better about the training process and how to troubleshoot progress yourself. I simply wish to *expedite* the training process for individuals so they can get better results.
For context, this would be more useful for a beginner, and I will be using the Good Behaviour program as an example.
Quick note here: I'll go back and edit this over time as I revisit this. I got pretty exhausted by the end and wanted to do this in one-sitting so, there's going to be some errors. Sorry in advance!
**Exercise Science Principles & Periodisation:**
In this section I will explain each term relevant to this post in the simplest way possible.
​
* **Muscular Strength:** ability to apply force against a resistance, it is context specific (joint angle, repetition range, contraction type etc.)
* **Muscular Endurance:** ability to sustain applying force against a resistance many times over. It is also context specific but *generally* leans towards the assumption of "higher reps".
* **Muscle Mass:** this is self-evident...getting yoked!
* **Periodisation:** organisation of training stressors
* **Daily Undulating Periodisation:** the variation of training stressors between sessions within a micro-cycle (week of training, *usually*)
* **Conjugation:** exercise variation
* **Linearity:** most things stay the same while progressing one variable
* **Phase potentiation:** how one phase of training such as higher reps at lower intensities can improve the potential progress of another phase with lower reps and higher intensities.
* **Desensitisation/Resensitisation:** according to the law of accommodation, we do eventually find certain stimulus well...less stimulating. Now we can try to simply increase the demands of the session to circumvent that but sometimes having a *pivot* and more thoroughly changing the stimulus can be a driver for positive change and adaptation. Simply put, it might be useful to have bigger changes in your program every once and a while.
* **Intensity:** load relative to estimated 1 rep max (e1RM), usually expressed as a percentage. For BW, really simply: if your chin-up is a 1 rep max, a band assisted chin-up might let you do 10 reps close to failure. That usually falls between 65-75% of your e1RM for weight training (everyone is slightly different).
* **Volume:** sets x reps. Here though I will specify volume as more accurately referring to *effective reps*. That's a whole other discussion in the current exercise-science landscape but *simply* for building muscle, effective reps are the ones that do the job. Usually with any set close enough to failure, it's the last 2 - 5 reps that do the work. It's proposed that we can only get about 5 max effective reps per set. Reading my other post linked above explaining mechanical tension will be helpful here. A quick example is this: if you're doing 3 sets of 10 reps @ RPE8 (that is, 2 reps shy of failure), then your last 3 reps per set (remember we can do 5 effective reps in total) are pretty stimulative of results. That is, that's 9 total reps across 30 that actually trigger a response. So that's why low-rep bodyweight (or weight/barbell work even) isn't *best* for muscle-growth alone. A sweet spot seems to be sets of 6-15 reps. Moreover, scientific literature is showing that really high rep work (20-30+) seems to cause extra unnecessary fatigue which *might* impair effective training. **One last point** I know this volume section is long so bear with me - in my other post I did mention some high-rep work and that's fine, that was in the context of a body-part split where you can get some embedded recovery in the program. I still agree with that premise. Needless to say, if you can do more moderate rep ranges close to failure, that's probably best but when all else fails, going for higher reps will still build muscle but it might impair a larger fatigue cost that will require more careful thought in programming.
* **Prime Movers:** the muscle groups doing the lion's share of the dynamic work during the concentric contraction (action phase, i.e., standing up, pushing-up or pulling-up) that experience the most direct mechanical tension and forces and therefore can as a result, experience a muscle-growth stimulus.
​
**Limitations:**
The exact same ones as my previous post. But here I will refer to CCs lack of long-term planning. It just assumes you'll make *linear* progress (that term we saw above) in intensity (as variations become "harder"). This is a short-lived strategy. BW only training has plenty of limitations but here I hope to show you how you can use exercise science principles, in particular relating to periodisation, to get more out of it.
​
**Program Example & Application:**
Alright, let's look at the basic 3-day CC Template "Good Behaviour":
​
|Day 1|Day 2|Day 3|
|:-|:-|:-|
|Push-Ups|Pistol Squats|Bridges|
|Leg Raises|Pull-Ups|Handstand|
**Program Split**
This is actually fine, program splits really matter less *unless* someone has a very full-on competitive schedule training many different modalities and energy systems (i.e., strength am, skills/sport midday and cardio pm, 4+ days a week).
For muscle-building, what matters is total volume over time and making sure the work is stimulative and creating a physiologic environment to facilitate growth. The whole "high frequency" has been shown to *matter less* when volume is equated across a theoretical training split and moreover, only matters more for skill work/accumulating high quality practise. The "bros" were \*kinda\* right on a split being good for muscle-building and basic strength and endurance alone.
If you were wanting to max out a calisthenic skill or your back squat or bench press, more frequent touches further away from failure would be helpful.
**TLDR:** don't worry about the split if the total work is there. Just don't do stupid things like go to ABSOLUTE failure one day and expect to productively hit that same muscle group the next. *Good Behaviour* works.
**Muscles Worked & Exercise Selection**
* **Push-Ups:** Chest, shoulders triceps
* **Leg Raises:** trunk, upper-back, hips
* **Pistol Squats:** Quads, glutes, adductors
* **Pull-Ups:** Upper-back, arms, shoulders
* **Bridges:** low back, some glutes
* **Handstands:** upper-body/shoulders, but not much if static holds only
So, the first 4 are *all good* with some exceptions. The second two are less useful. I want to be clear that these exercises don't just "isolate" the mentioned body parts; many muscles are always working. I'm talking about *prime movers* here.
To **Big Six** are really the programs drawcard. I'm going to emphasis the following factors when suggesting changes: *targetable, stable, scalable and "fatigueable"*.
Okay let me go through this:
* Targetable: am I able to best work in the intended muscle or am I fumbling around?
* Stable: can I get into a solid enough position where I'm not trying to maintain balance every-rep?
* Scalable: in terms of both progression long-term but also can be modified down for periods of higher volumes and lower intensities
* Fatigue-able: kind of the combination of the above 3, that is, can I push this hard enough to drive a stimulus to the working muscle?
So, here's how I would modify the Big Six (sacrilege I know!). This is in the spirit of limited equipment and keeping things *simple*.
​
|Movement Category|CC|Modified|Rationale|
|:-|:-|:-|:-|
|Push-Up|One-Arm Push-Up|Feet-Elevated Deficit Push-Up with hands below chest.|Can better standardise form and keep tension relatively balanced across chest/shoulders and triceps all together.|
|Trunk/Bend|Leg-Raises|Same|No need to change it, fine actually. Solid exercise even for lifters (myself).|
|Pull|One-Arm Chin-Up|Chin-Ups\*/Pull-Ups are fine|No need to change it, fine actually. Solid exercise for higher rep sets especially if you have some leg mass (I weight 95kg as of this morning lol). I'd emphasise the chin-up as I'd also add in some pronated grip inverted rows on another day of the program\*.|
|Squat|Pistol Squat|Hand-Assisted Deficit Shrimp Squats|See my other post for details, but simply put we can push the *working* leg harder and closer to failure with this variation compared to a pistol squats (imo).|
|Hinge|Standing Bridge|Nordic Hamstring Curls\*|I'd rather a ring/suspension trainer leg curl or even floor sliders, but in the spirit of CC this is simple with basically no extra equipment needed besides hooking your feet under something. Can be modified to an easier bent hip variation.|
|Push (vertical)|Handstand Push-Up (One-Arm LOL)|Deficit Pike Push-Ups|Less balance, more ROM where it counts (shoulders), feet are still in contact with something so it's stable for pushing closer to failure.|
​
**Variations & filling out each day a little bit more**
I would like to add that the 2 lifts a day of Good Behaviour should not take long at all. That's not a bad thing, but once you're warmed up, surely 10 - 15 minutes of some extra solid training can make quite a large difference over a year. So, I'm proposing just a couple more lifts to help drive progress across the main exercises and which ones I'd pick for which day and why. Importantly, you shouldn't need to warm-up for these by this point in the session and they won't take that much more time. These movements can be progressed over time readily and will help fill-out the program.
​
|Day 1|Day 2|Day 3|
|:-|:-|:-|
|Push-Ups|Shrimp Squat (see above)|Nordics (see above)|
|Leg Raises|Pull-Ups/Chin-Ups (see above)\*|Pike-Push-Ups (see above)|
|Horizontal Pull variation: i.e., Pronated Grip Inverted Rows|Copenhagen Adductor Work (see my other post)|Sissy Squats (see my other post).|
|Accessory Trunk/Low Back/Glute work\*|Accessory Trunk/Low Back/Glute work|Accessory Trunk/Low Back/Glute work|
\*This can include supermans, plank holds, back bridges (holds or dynamic progressions), hip extensions on a park bench\* (Fitness FAQ has a great video on this). I would keep the volume low as it's on top of everything else. I'm only adding these because one of the biggest limitations to BW is not loading the low-back the way barbell work in particular does. This is a huge downfall. The low back needs strengthening and work.
**How to Periodise**
I would consider that just going "harder" on the variations once hitting a rep-range is *some* form of periodisation, but it only goes one way - linear and upwards in intensity. That won't always work, you'll simply peak and hit a wall. So, I would suggest the following concurrent periodisation strategy that allows for both maximal efforts and accumulating volume without *thinking* too much about it.
Hit a "top set" of a harder variation (to develop neural efficiency and strength), then accumulate work on easier variations for volume (for muscular endurance and accumulating more stimulating work).
For instance, work up to a push-up variation you can only do for 6-10 reps roughly while staying 1-2 reps shy of failure, then go into an easier variation that you can do between 8-15 reps while staying 1-2 reps shy of failure and do a few extra sets. This \*could\* be a direct regression or for weak-points (if you can accurately assess that, a variation).
For example:
Push-Ups: Feet Elevated Deficit Push-Up with 1ct pause for 8 reps, move into standard deficit push-ups for 2 sets of 15 reps OR move into triceps push-ups for 2 sets of 15-20 reps.
**IF** you'd like to think about it more, I would also consider doing more discriminate phases, so, a phase of a variation for each lift where you can do higher rep sets before moving into a phase of more moderate to low rep sets. Each phase could last \~8 weeks or so (this is all arbitrary, really).
For less skill driven movements, i.e. like an inverted row or chin-up, there's nothing wrong with every 4 - 8 weeks deciding to alternate grip width, orientation etc. Bit harder to do this with squats and lower body work but you might swap around sissy squats for reverse nordics and modify some of the trunk/low back and glute work which will all affect lower body progress.
It's also helpful to have weeks where you stay further away from failure before working closer towards failure again. I.e., you might go RPE 6-7 for a week, RPE 7-8 for 2 - 3 weeks, RPE9 for 1 week, RPE10 for 1 last week before trying to progress to the next variation or taking an easier week and resetting the progress but aiming for slightly higher reps relative to that RPE progression compared to the previous cycle.
**Finally, putting it all together and a solid example**
|Day 1|||
|:-|:-|:-|
|Movement Category|Prescription|Progression|
|Push-Ups|Hit a "top set" of the current hardest progression for 6-10 reps @ RPE7-8 (2-3 reps in reserve) and then do 2-4 down sets of between 8-15 reps @ RPE8-9 on an easier variation (start with 2 down sets and see how far that gets you).|Drive reps up within the top set before increasing progression intensity. You will modify the down sets accordingly. Rep progressions can be dynamically driven across session to session based on RPE/how you're feeling. You might do this for 4 - 6 weeks before rinsing and taking a reset (see above).|
|Leg Raises|as above or just straight sets across (basically CC progression) as this is more of an accessory.|basically as is.|
|Inverted Rows|straight sets across for 8-15 reps @ RPE7-10\* for 2-5 sets (again, start low and see how far this gets you).|Dynamically add reps per the appropriate variation you can start at with a lower RPE then build up into. You might push for a few weeks before hitting failure then change the grip around or something like that. Of course, you can progress Inverted Rows with technique too (feet elevated, bent/straight leg etc.)|
|Front Plank|2 - 4\* sets of 20 - 90 seconds (again, start low in volume and see how far this gets you).|Nothing wrong with some static isometric trunk strength to finish off a session. Will transfer to most other exercises. Good to perform in a fatigued state.|
​
|Day 2|||
|:-|:-|:-|
|Movement Category|Prescription|Progression|
|Shrimp-Squats|Hit a "top set" of the current hardest progression for 6-10 reps @ RPE7-8 (2-3 reps in reserve) and then do 2-4 down sets of between 8-15 reps @ RPE8-9 on an easier variation (start with 2 down sets and see how far that gets you).|Drive reps up within the top set before increasing progression intensity.

|Pull-Ups/Chin-Ups|Hit a "top set" of the current hardest progression for 6-10 reps @ RPE7-8 (2-3 reps in reserve) and then do 2-4 down sets of between 8-15 reps @ RPE8-9 on an easier variation (start with 2 down sets and see how far that gets you).|As above but you may need to drop into inverted row territory depending on how strong you are with chin-ups/pull-ups OR perform them band assisted. That's fine either way. Just try and make it somehow different to the Day 1 inverted rows.|
|Copenhagen Adductor Work|straight sets across for 8-15 reps @ RPE7-10\* for 2-5 sets (again, start low and see how far this gets you). Can start dynamically with an easier variation or if it's too hard, perform more of a static hold (use the plank prescription from D1).|Dynamically add reps per the appropriate variation you can start at with a lower RPE then build up into. You can go from bent knee/short lever to straight leg etc. |
|Superman Progressions|2 - 4\* sets of 20 - 90 seconds (again, start low in volume and see how far this gets you).|Nothing wrong with some static isometric low back strength to finish off a session. Will transfer to most other exercises. Good to perform in a fatigued state. Can also modify shoulder/arm position for upper-back strength.|
​
|Day 3|||
|:-|:-|:-|
|Movement Category|Prescription|Progression|
|Nordics|Hit a "top set" of the current hardest progression for 6-10 reps @ RPE7-8 (2-3 reps in reserve) and then do 2-4 down sets of between 8-15 reps @ RPE8-9 on an easier variation (start with 2 down sets and see how far that gets you).|I'd rather ring leg curls (see my other post) but in the spirit of CC I need this to be dead simple and hardly require equipment. Using bent hip/pike progressions as well as tempo and pauses can help scale back the variations or make them harder within the same variation to allow for the programming as prescribed.|
|Pike-Push-Ups|Hit a "top set" of the current hardest progression for 6-10 reps @ RPE7-8 (2-3 reps in reserve) and then do 2-4 down sets of between 8-15 reps @ RPE8-9 on an easier variation (start with 2 down sets and see how far that gets you).|As above/same idea.|
|Sissy Squats/Reverse Nordics|straight sets across for 8-15 reps @ RPE7-10\* for 2-5 sets (again, start low and see how far this gets you). Can start dynamically with an easier variation or if it's too hard, perform more of a static hold (use the plank prescription from D1).|Dynamically add reps per the appropriate variation you can start at with a lower RPE then build up into. You can go from bent knee/short lever to straight leg etc. |
|Back Bridges/Hip Extension variation|2 - 4\* sets of 20 - 90 seconds (again, start low in volume and see how far this gets you). Might also be some rep work for straight sets across for 8-15 reps of 2-4 sets.|Nothing wrong with some static isometric low back /glute work to finish off a session. Will transfer to most other exercises. Good to perform in a fatigued state. Can also modify shoulder/arm position for upper-back strength if doing back bridges.|
I know it might read as **lower body heavy** but the lack of solid lower body work was one of the biggest limitations for CC imo. There's now 4 dedicated *dynamic* upper body movements, 3 solid dedicated lower body movements with some sprinkled accessories for lower back, adductors, trunk and glutes which tbh, will probably benefit everything to an *extent* (okay, not direct upper body strength in isolation). Leg Raises work the grip and upper-back (statically), so that's a bonus! If you want more upper-body volume from time to time, take 1-2 of those fourth slot accessories and simply make it an upper-body variation. That's another example of periodisation! You can certainly go through "phases" of hammering a group/region more than others.
​
**Where next?**
Phew, this was a big one. Honestly, any other program. I know that seems like a cop-out answer but this more of a though experiment and educational post than may saying "actually do this", but I believe you could and actually get decent results. Context though, you'll be better off if you're a beginner and only if you don't have access to a gym or basic equipment for home (which I doubt). Remember to eat in a surplus or at least maintenance with enough protein to prioritise muscle-growth and get your rest.
​
**Conclusion:**
I really enjoyed CC and it certainly got me into taking strength training seriously so for that, I'm eternally grateful. I then went down the lifting route, have taken up powerlifting and haven't looked back. That said, info like this is useful if you're first starting out and simply don't want to or can't go to a gym/get equipment. I'd also like to say, I've framed this for the simplest kind of training result: getting jacked and a bit stronger/fitter. Don't read this and say "well this is crap for getting a planche" - yeah, I know lol. That's way outside my scope. My focus is getting stronger, bigger and more jacked in a very *general* sense. It's not street calisthenics, gymnastics, parkour or anything else.

Empire Total War would be the ultimate game on the App Store (Medieval II is nice but the graphics (especially on the campaign map) are just too old/bad for my taste)! It would be so incredibly awesome to see Empire come to iOS! | not moderated |

| ONE is so underrated in the west Can we just take a moment and appreciate how good ONE is? It’s so underrated over here in the west it needs way more attention from mma fans and combat sports fans in the west. The Amazon prime events they’ve done are definitely worth checking out you guys | moderated |

| I want to start body weight fitness Hi, i want to get started at this and got some questions.
I´m a 22yo male, 182cm, 72kg, and i been very skinny for all my life, however for the last year i gained a bit of weight due to eating fast food and sedentary lifestyle (i work as developer and i play a lot videogames so i spent around 12 hours a day sitting in front of a PC and i haven't done sports for 4 years).
For this 2022 end i proposed myself to get started at a healthy lifestyle, and i´m going to start again tennis which i played for about 8 years and also boxing (starting this from zero) this October, doing two days a week each one.
So, here are my questions, how do i start at body weight fitness at home?
I guess following the beginners routine at the wiki is good?, i can´t do a single push up so...
Does body weight fitness can improve my posture if a have a bad one? (along the two sports im going to start, also i dont know at all if a have a bad posture).
thanks in advance.

| After 3 years of being locked up I know it’s a full beard but I just wanted to share this with the beard fam. This after 3 years being locked up fighting my case. This was itchy also but not as bad as a beard. I give to the beard fam. So far I haven’t seen a messed up beard in here. Good job guys. And if this gets deleted it’s ok. I understand. No feelings hurt. Take care fam | not moderated |

| Is a one-loss champ Oregon out of playoff contention? Will there be three SEC teams in the playoffs this season? Emphatically no. The Playoff Committee rewards number of losses above all else with one exception. Seen a lot of talk tonight about who would or wouldn't get into the CFP this season and felt like sharing the historical context people are missing.
Historically, the playoff committee has rewarded Power Five teams with the fewest losses each season with playoff spots and has a pretty well established priority matrix. It's base priority is number of losses, if you're an undefeated P5 champ you're all but guaranteed a spot unless all 5 champs are undefeated (The most we've ever had was 3 in '19), followed by championship status: Winner --> Loser --> non-participant. I'm sure there are other considerations but these are the easiest to parse at a high level. Only two non CCG participants have ever been given playoff berths, Ohio State and Alabama, and both of them had fewer losses than the champions behind them.
The teams snubbed the hardest with playoff berths have been the G5 teams, with undefeated Western Michigan being left out in '16, and UCF being left out in '17 and '18. Cincy finally broke that barrier last year with a quality win over Notre Dame early in the season establishing that G5 teams need quality OOC wins to be considered for the playoff. | moderated |

| I've been walking more, I've been eating less, how do I weight more? K guys, I (F23) need help. I need to be talked off the ledge here. For the past 2 months, I've had a new job that has left me more active. I walk close to 5000 to 7000 (it used to be 10,000 but now I do part time) steps a day. I used to do weight lifting twice a week but due to work, that went down to once a week. Becuase of how hectic my job is, sometimes I don't have lunch. I counted my total caloroe intake the other day and I hit close to 1500 calories. Some days that probably varies to about 1300 to 1600 so I'm not constantly starving myself or overeating.
I went on the scale for the first time in months, probably 6 months. And I didn't lose weight or maintain it. No I GAINED weight.
So, I thought for a second how the hell that is possible. Let's say for one minute, it's water weight, gas, or muscle. That still means I still haven't lost any weight either. That math doesn't add up.
For reference, I weigh 218 lbs. 6 months ago, i weighed 214.
I don't understand. And I am so frustrated that I feel like either giving up or going to extremes. What's the point? I'm more active, I'm eating less. How can I see no improvement? | not moderated |

| I’m Trying To Find This Specific Shade, Any Suggestions? Hi everyone, this is the ELF rose gold palette, which I really like, but the circled color (matte dark, dusty rose) is my absolute favorite, it looks soooo good on me. Is there anything similar in a single or with just a few other colors or shades? Eyeshadow or even blush would be ok. I’ve been looking, but what I found is either shimmery or too coral-colored. It almost looks like mauve in some lighting, idk. I’d be super grateful for any suggestions, however close. TIA 🙂 | not moderated |

Also, does anybody have any suggestions on what weight exercises to do to build up strength to squat the bar?

| "Don't compare yourself to others" makes no sense in BJJ. You're trying to figure out how to submit the other guy I don't get it. I understand everyone goes in and grows at different levels, but I imagine everyone is comparing themselves to each other. You're definitely comparing your own ability, size, and strength to your opponent. Isn't that why there's a belt system in the first place? | not moderated |

| Just started playing a few weeks ago, having a hard time farming the Enclave Commendations to progress the main story. Howdy, folks! I just started playing 76 a few weeks ago and have been loving it. I got to the part where I need to get 10 enclave commendations. Problem is, I don't have any friends who play, and killing scorchbeasts down in the bog is a massive pain. Cost me a ton of my resources just to take down 1, idk that I can do 9 more.
I read on here in older posts from 2019 that the best way is to do the Line in the Sand event, but I can't figure out how to trigger it, or find a server where it's active. I try and do the Prime Meat events hoping for legendaries, but I'm either the only one doing it and I get murked, or theres too many people there and the animals all die before I can get a shot in.
Does anyone have any tips or advice on how best to get these commendations? Thanks! | not moderated |
