VENGA BUS reacted to Quinn in Saving the forums
In order to encourage more forum content we should have a day where mods promise not to give out warning points or otherwise moderate. A 'shitpost Sunday' if you will.

VENGA BUS got a reaction from JamesG in Dyspraxia and the Gym [help needed]
Hey all, as some you might know, I have the deepest privilege of sharing a condition with Quinn has as well, which is dyspraxia, aka developmental co-ordination disorder. Tldr I'm clumsy af with regard to fine motor function, so I find stuff like hand writing tedious/difficult, and when I -do- put pen to page, my script is often bordering on illegible.
But I'm actually here for some gym advice from the healthy BOIZ in Outbreak, so I was hoping I could get some help. I joined the gym recently, and I've been a few times, but due to my dyspraxia, and my poor fine motor function, individual muscles are often pretty weak, and my form is terrible with free weights, to the point where I'm better off just sticking with machines until I develop individual muscles and fine motor function better.
For those interested in learning generally about dyspraxia, click here. It's a fairly common condition, but I don't really talk about it because it's actually just not a big enough problem for me to chat about. It's not all bad, and it's definitely given me good as well as bad.
I was hoping that some of you could suggest some workout routines, focused around weight machines (or body weight), or anything that a clumsy person can do. I'm looking for strength endurance routines at the moment, as I need to develop my base before I could look at doing hypertrophic exercises.
I've had a look at this article so far, which I've found interesting, but there aren't isn't any specific plan to follow.
This is probably the first time I've been properly serious about the gym as something to incorporate into my lifestyle, rather than as a necessary evil to get into better shape to pull girls (I'm already clumsily banging most of your mums, so I don't need to worry about that). Any help would be appreciated. Cheers in advance lads

How are you on the machines with your dyspraxia? Have you tried any free weight stuff at at all to see how bad you'd be? Everyone has sloppy form when they first start.
As @Oldmike said, you're working your stabilising muscles most during free weights, as you actually have to balance the weight, perhaps you'd benefit from just starting free weights as light as you need to feel in control.
Don't overthink the sets, just because you do 4x15-20 isn't gonna make you any more prepared for free weights compared to 3x10.
Do that set and honor scheme if you want, as long as you're progressively increasing weight.
I'd work the lot at the same time, but it's just preference. If you want to split muscle groups go for it.
Like I've expressed before, as long as you're working the muscles you want to work, working them hard enough via progressive overload, and eating adequate protein, do whatever you like.

Since you've got dyspraxia, I would suggest especially focusing on movements that will help train your stabilizer muscles aka big compound lifts. And if glutes are your priority, you should most definitely include hip thrusts into your lower body split, hands down best glute building exercise. As for the cardio, I can suggest doing circuit training instead of the old boring treadmill and such. Makes cardio slightly less boring ?

VENGA BUS reacted to Sir_Conor in Yo admins
I've been away for the last 2 weeks but I've looking at setting up a GTA V/FiveM RP Server so if people are interested in that let us know. I'd like to get more events going if anyone wants to do any? We should have a couple coming from other members of the Admin Team soon from my knowledge.
I'm also thinking about rather than doing events try out doing something like game nights, and just do a gathering of people on a game.

Do we have an eta on this server, I'm guessing it's going to take quite a while as I don't think anyone has made a gta5 server previous, can I suggest getting rid of and getting in some mods who are actually excited for this server. Need people who will put good hours in while making the server and especially when it goes up or will end up in a massive waste of time. We have seen this with other servers that have gone up, mods not putting in effort at all, need mods that are willing to be on the server to help populate or it will just flop, we have seen this on too many occasions.

VENGA BUS reacted to Fluxy in Interesting Trailers
Not so much as a trailer but a teaser for a fan made 40k film. I have been semi-following it since its announcement back in 2013 so by this point I am kinda like doubting it will ever truly see the light of day.
Even so its still far and away the coolest 40k cinematic kicking about atm
Also a similar project called "Astartes" released this short video a few weeks back, smaller scope but still just as great

YO
So, over time we all play different games right? Sometimes we play games alone and sometimes we play games with our friends but there's often that one game that prevails through all else and you kinda become associated with it. Maybe its shit but you play it anyway cause you love it, maybe you are really good at it, maybe its just been in your life for a long time and you cant not play it. I started thinking which people could be associated with what game...Heres some I came up with
@w33zy - Rocket League
@Mintlou - My summer car obviously
@VENGA BUS - The Witcher 3
@gaffeR - Heroes of Newearth or... HON
@keiji - Victoria 2
@Jamie - Runescape
@SonyTwan - Probs Tekken or dead by daylight
@Jak Tower Unite ?
@Fluxy - Total War: Warhammer
@Eraser - Path of Exile
