What mindset could I approach work so that it gets done faster and not later, or worse never at all, because I'm too focused on what is/could be wrong?

EMSK: How to build a credit history and maintain a good credit score
I never really paid a whole lot of attention to my credit until my mid 20's but have realized that if I plan to own a home in the future I ought to start improving my credit history and credit score, thereby raising my creditworthiness in the eyes of lenders. I think everyone should pay more attention to their credit.
Most adults in the US with a social security number have a file with the three major credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Transunion, and Experian. Each agency uses a formula to compute your FICO Score, more commonly known as your credit score. Your FICO score is very important down the line if you ever plan to secure a car loan, personal loan, or mortgage and receive favorable interest rates. Many landlords also ask to see your credit report to determine if you are a financially sound tenant.
If you're just starting out, you want to understand the major factors that contribute to your score. These are:
- Number of accounts
- Age of accounts
- Delinquencies (late payments or involuntary account closures)
- Credit Utilization (ratio of debt outstanding vs. available credit)
- Payment history (#3 is really part of this)
- Credit diversity (Credit cards, mortgages, car loans, student loans, etc.)
Each of these factors is quantified and contributes to your FICO Score as follows: 35% payment history, 30% amount owed, 15% length of history, 10% new credit, 10% types of credit used.
So what can you do to build your credit when you are just starting out?
- Create and stick to a budget. /r/personalfinance is a great resource for this.
- Apply for an intro credit card or student card (if applicable) - typically these have no annual fees, 0% introductory APR (annual percentage interest rate), and some basic cash-back rewards. If you have minimal credit history, you may need to open a secured card (these require you deposit $150-200 to open the card).
- ALWAYS pay off your credit card bills when they become due. NO exceptions.
- Start to build a credit history by spending that card on purchases you have budgeted for. Try not to spend unexpected expenses on a card. You don't need to spend a huge amount. Some cards offer 1-2% cash back or points for purchases.
- Keep your spending <30% of your credit limit. Higher amounts negatively impact your credit score.
- Pay attention to your credit score. I use Credit Karma which is free and gives your Equifax and Transunion scores. Some credit cards give you your FICO score for free.
- After 3-6 months and keeping an eye on your score, you can open a second credit card. Note - each time you apply for a credit card your credit score is temporarily decreased due to a "credit pull", which is when a lender requests to see your credit report. This is temporary and doesn't matter in the long run, which is what you're after - building a long term credit history.
- Your second card after your intro card should be a tier up and should be transitioned to your "daily spend" card. These cards typically offer very good signing bonus if you meet a minimum spend within a certain time of opening the card and offer cash-back rewards on spending such as grocery purchases. Discovery It and Chase Freedom and Freedom Unlimited fall in this category. Note - don't close accounts! Even if you don't spend, length of accounts is factored into your credit score and credit history so you should keep them open if there is no annual fee.
- Rinse and repeat. Always budget and always pay your balances to avoid interest. Most sources say 7-10 accounts is a good number to have. After you have a couple or more accounts, you can look into premium tier rewards cards, depending on your spending level and the rewards you want. /r/churning is the place for this if you're at this level (good score, credit history, credit ratio, etc.)
I hope this helps some people especially those younger folks starting out financially. I cannot stress this enough: remember to always pay your balances on time. If you don't, your score takes a big big hit and that delinquency will stay on your credit report for at least 7 years.
Getting back on the horse
Hello everyone,
After a three year break of not lifting due to life/being blase, I feel compelled to pick up the weights again. Although I feel like I'm back to square one. Not really knowing how to start again, specifically in terms of program. I was wondering if going on starting strength would be a waste of time or not. Recommendations for other programs would be appreciated. I'm going to ballpark that my current stats are around 170lb on bench, 200lb on squat, 225lb on deadlift, and 135 ohp. Having held decent numbers on all my lift prior, do you believe that muscle memory would bring them back within a short period of time?
Thanks
Blood Flow restriction training? Anyone had good results?
I've heard of blood flow restriction training for a while now and have been reading around it. I've bought some wraps for my arms as I want to add size to my arms. Anyone seen huge results from doing this? I've been doing it 2/3 times per week for a couple of weeks and have defiantly added size since I started. Anyone done this for a length of time and noticed considerable increases in size? What are your thoughts on BFR training, I always feel so awkward in the gym smashing out the sets with light weight and people think I'm struggling with like 8kg dumbbells 😂.
Benching more reps or heavier weights ?
I usually go for a few sets until failure, I'm a beginner and lift 40 kgs for about 15 reps or 50 for about 10, which would be more beneficial to do for overall strength increase and getting up in weights.

Impact of one bad night's sleep
Yesterday I hit a squat PB after being consistent with lifting for an extended and was pretty elated. I ate well after, rested all evening and then proceeded to not get any sleep due to this unseasonably hot british summer! I only managed about 2 hours and Im feeling rough as hell today, as well as pretty gutted.
I know that good sleep is necessary for recovery but is it the case that not sleeping well has just postponed recovery rather than 'stopping' it? if I eat well today, dont do any exercise and then get 8 hours tonight and a few more good nights afterwards, will it essentially mean I should maybe wait another day until I do another leg workout and hopefully still see the strength gains? I'm only squatting 1.3x bodyweight if that makes a difference.
It's a bit late to do anything about it but I'm curious, and it might make me feel less frustrated about not getting any benefit from yesterday.

can a beginner run a complex program
my lifts are roughly (since theyre always increasing) 205 1x7 deadlift 130 3x5 bench 95 3x5 strict overhead press 170 3x5 squat 145 3x5 strict pendlay row +20lb chinups 3x5 I've been doing greyskull but it's tough to recover from, my bench is always a grinder and i've had to reset it at least 6 times. My squat is very tiring to do and tough, i progress on it but it's very very very hard, i feel like im doing 90% 3x5 and that my form is just good. I have juggernaut fitness 2.0 method, it's block periodized i think. It has an accumulation phase, realization phase, and then the intensification phase. it has amraps but you leave some reps "in the tank" and it determines your progression. there is like 5 waves i think, 10s 8's 5s and 3s? Could i progress at a decently fast pace on that program do you think? I'm also interested in the other athletic aspects to it, it seems just great for making me healthy. 3x5 every week of the year feels bad.
Advice for maintaining muscle mass while in a cut!
Hello everyone! First off, I hope I don't irritate everyone by asking a question I'm sure has been asked many times, it's just I have some specific circumstances that I think need to be taken in to consideration. So I'm currently around 255lbs, and I'd guess %30 body fat at least. I was doing Starting Strength and making some fantastic gains, but had to quit because of a job situation. The reason I got into learning proper weight lifting and dieting is because I've had ongoing chronic low back pain for over two years with no diagnosis other than mild degenerative arthritis in my lumbar which my doctor says is inconsistent with the pain I used to feel. I've been prescribed all kinds of meds with no success. The only thing I've found to help me is progressive weight training. So my questions are:
1) What workout program should I stick to while going for a long period of cutting? I'm thinking a year's time with the goal of losing 52 lbs, 1 lb a week. Starting Strength seems counter productive to my novice understanding because I'll need to maintain a calorie deficit. Would the 5/3/1 be helpful?
2) Would the 500 calorie deficit a week be sufficient, or could I stand to go for around 750?
Standing tricep extensions issue
So I'm on a 6 day workout plan. Monday: Chest/back/abs(crunches). Tuesday: shoulders/upper arm/lower arm/abs(reverse crunches). wednesday: thighs/calves/abs. Repeat on last three days.
On my arm day, I do standing tricep extensions and I have a problem with my left wrist popping at the peak of the extension. As far as I know it's proper form and there's never been an injury. Is this common?

Advice / Training Program
Hi!
For the first time in my life, I started working out with the help of a personal trainer.
He defined a training program that I'm really enjoying, though I still feel uncertain if it's appropriate to my body.
I'm also living in other country and still getting used to spoken English - but my reading and writing are pretty good. So I don't feel confident to discuss the program with my personal trainer.
Can someone give me some thoughts?

Barbell Training for kids (10/12 yrs old)
So I've been lifting for 2+ years and I estimate somewhere between an intermediate and advanced lifter. I have a squat rack and barbell in the garage which I've been using consistently for that time. The kids have always shown a lot of interest in strength training, and I finally decided to start teaching them compound lifts. We started with lengths of PVC pipe and worked up to 30lbs on squats now, 25lbs on bench, 20lbs for OHP, and now 30lbs for Romanian deadlifts. My son can also do 3x8 chin ups with no issue, but my daughter struggles to do them without assistance. We do the Romanian deadlifts because the bar I got them was 25lbs, and I didn't want to start them at 45lb deadlifts (2x 10lb bumpers + bar off the ground), and it seemed silly trying do the deadlift with 5lb weights flopping around on a PVC pipe. I plan on switching to standard deadlifts as soon as they demonstrate that they can handle the weight without issue. We've been taking it slow, starting from nothing and adding about 5lbs a week, 2.5lbs on OHP. I figure this will give them a lot of time to practice form prior to any real weight getting added. They've been enjoying the hell out of it, and have a lot of motivation to see results. For reference, my son is 10 years old and 65lbs, my daughter 12 and maybe 105lbs. My initial goal was really to just ingrain the idea of a training regimen into them and do something fun together as a family, but they have really gone all in and want to keep going. My questions are, do any of you have any experience training kids and have any advice to share? Should I stick with a slow and steady progression of 5lbs a week, or maybe load the bar 2.5lbs more every session? (smallest weights I have are 1.25lbs) Keep in mind, because the kids are only with me half the week, and my ex the other half, I only have so much influence over their diets, sleep habits, etc. Also, they are little kids with little kid attention spans, and I didn't want to put too much too fast for fear of making it not fun too quickly. Because of this, I figured slower was better. What do you think? Any tips?
Realistic expectations over 18 months? Advice and thoughts please!
What is a realistic expectation of strength, cardiovascular, endurance, physique, and overall fitness after 18 months?
Currently, I can squat 200, Deadlift 220, bench 135, OHP 105, and run a mile before needing to walk.
I am a 29 year old male, 6'0" 215lb approx 25%bf.
My current plan is to continue hitting the gym abt 4 times a week and focus on strength training, while running abt 3 times a week on top of that. I want to cut, by eating approx 2kcal a day until I can get to 15%bf then begin a bulk cut cycle.
My goal is to get stronger, leaner, more endurance, and overall fitness with the end goal of being fit enough to try out for the fire service.
Thoughts, advice, critiques, and reasonable expectations would be appreciated!

tips for building strength for a 14 year old beginner
i am interested in strength training as that i feel that i am very weak and that i am easily pushed away etc.. i am 14 years old and my goal is to become stronger as in more strength so i need some advices and tips for work outs to improve strength and an advice for a diet plan to use and how frequently do i workout etc. i won't have access to a gym since some of them don't allow people under the age of 16 to workout in the gym unless supervised . note : i am not in shape at all and i am fairly weak and pushed away easily etc
Need advice on a workout plan
I've been working out in some way or another on and off for 6-7 months now, and made some gains here and there, but i want to start getting more serious about training and getting stronger. I made myself a program that uses ideas from Alan Thrall and Brian Alsruhe, while also keeping my own goals and limits in mind. My question is: is this program workable for someone of my experience? Or should I do a Starting Strength-type program for a few months first and see where I'm at? I'm a little worried the plan I made will be too high in volume, especially since I plan on playing on my college's ultimate team for the first half of this semester, so should I hold off altogether? Any advice is appreciated (also: 5'7", around 145 lbs, bodyfat % is probably between 15 and 25 percent)

EMSK: Thousands of men every day are catfished and have their nudes published on sites like Tumblr.
There are hundreds of tumblr blogs alone dedicated to sharing nudes of catfished men. Thousands of nudes per day on tumblr alone. Those nudes are then used by catfishers to lure other men and women. I'm catfished very regularly on Grindr (but that's to be expected) jokes on them because I'm catfishing back. However it happens on FB, twitter, Snapchat and Tinder a LOT. If you get an unprompted message from someone and they're sharing nudes, assume they're catfishing. They're extremely convincing because they're sharing albums of real everyday people.

Should I be bulking or cutting?
Right now I'm trying to cut and get rid of my abdominal fat before I go on a bulk. I started PHUL 6 days ago and began tracking my calories with MyFitnessApp I'm 16, 5'10, 175.8 lbs. Does this seem like a decent plan, if so how long should I be cutting for or what weight should I stop at. Also, what do you estimate my bf% to be?

Just a 14 year old wanting some help with his workout plan.
Hi all,
I am a 14 year old from Australia that lifts weights. However, my current fitness plan doesn’t seem to be working for me. It can be found here (I don’t know how to paste a table into reddit): http://ift.tt/2uOOxeM
I have access to barbells, dumbbells and a bench with a leg curler. I can comfortably lift 10kg (not including bar) for 15 reps. I would like advice on how often I should lift, better exercises to suit my equipment and possibly making a new workout plan.
Thank you reddit!

Routine without shoulder work?
Last year I tore my right labrum. I'd been making great progress on a simple routine, but this derailed me, I bottomed out, and haven't worked out since. I've now reached the point where I and my doctor am comfortable with me starting back with very light weights and building back up to upper body work. (I'm ecstatic to be able to reach up and close the hatchback of my wife's car.)
Now trying to put together simple routine with the following annoying restrictions:
-
no direct shoulder work, or things that could engage my shoulders hard like dips, or things that now terrify me like flyes
-
I cannot get my shoulders into rack position for front or back squats. I actually like back squats and it's not a matter of trying to get out of squatting, I just can't physically get my shoulders in those positions.
-
I can comfortably do pushups, just not many (which is less because of shoulder pain and more because I'm now a tub of shit). I'm sure I can bench if I start with the bar.
-
I have no aversion to, and in many cases would now prefer, machines for upper body so I don't get fucky with my shoulders.
-
I haven't tried yet, but I think I can deadlift.
-
I need some direct arm work because I now have office arms.
-
I have pretty much unlimited equipment.
I'm used to being able to throw something together with a barbell, dumbbells, cables, and the big lifts, but I'm now lost at sea. Help!
EDIT: Not looking for medical or rehab advice, just help with a routine without shoulder work.

old-time strongman routines
Hey all, wondering if anyone else has tried the routines from eugen sandow, prof attila, maxick, etc. I want to work back up to some kb things, but have a long-time shoulder issue getting in the way for now. These routines (bodyweight, super light weight) emphasizing "muscle control" rather than moving heavy things are counter-intuitive but seem to fit the bill for now.

Deadlift - Light days ideas
Hi all, I've decided to switch up my training, it's been a very long time since I have done so. I've recently found Brian Alsruhe's videos and fancy taking up the plan he discusses in a video he did with Alan Thrall (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhUW-gnMN_Q) I'm working it out ok for myself, until the light deadlift day. I just don't know what sort of light work could fit here - speed deadlifts? light weight and really high (10x10??)? Feeling a bit silly as I've deadlifted a long time yet finding myself lacking in this basic knowledge.
Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks John

Thinking about what i should do with my training program
Hey, I've been training in a FBW routine for about 8 months. I've went from 127 lbs to 138 but i feel that the weight in my compound movements is a bit off. Deadlift - 220 lbs for 5 reps Squat - 165 lbs for 5 reps ohp - 78 lbs for 5 reps Bp - 120 lbs for 5 reps My routine till now was a FBW 3 times a week that included all 4 compound movements in a form of 3X5 and some accessory work, In addition i added 2 cardio sessions a week, 35 mins ea in my rest days. I am thinking about changing my routine to something different but i am confused due all the different programs that are out there. My goal right now is to grow alongside with getting stronger in my compound movements. I'd like for some good programs that contains both strengh progress and hypertrophy work. I do realize that diet must be on point and i'm pretty sure that that's my case cause i track my calories and i gain roughly 0.5-1 pound per week and up to 2.5 ~ 3 pounds in a month, I'd like some help in choosing a program that will suit my needs.

Strength training and vaping
So I decided to start vaping again after a couple months off. In the time I wasnt vaping I started a new strength training workout program in which I'd been making some excellent progress week after week in terms of strength.
Now going roughly two weeks since I'd been vaping again it seems like my strength and control of the weight has decreased noticeably as well as I am getting a lot more winded.
I am bummed because I really do enjoy vaping but I feel my strength and health must come before all else.
Anyone experience this or can identify? I am not a smoker turned vaper, I just like the experience.

EMSKR: How to relax
Hi y'all.
I am a very tense person. I just moved to Chicago to pursue stand up comedy and art, and I don't have a job yet. I make ends meet by selling art on the street. This has actually been very good for me, as I was able to pay $800 in bills this month by using the cash from sales. It is very good for my self esteem too, as I thought my work was too graphic or morbid for mainstream success.
However, I am completely unable to relax. In order for this to work, I feel like I need to be on A game all the time. I am constantly working on finishing art projects, and when I'm not actively working on them, I'm brainstorming ideas on how to do them properly. I can't sleep through the night, nightmares and general restlessness keeps me up.
I feel like shit constantly. I feel totally hollow. Manipulative and abusive relationships have taken it out of me.
I don't do any drugs and I'm not looking to start. I just need to relax, but I don't know how. Can anyone lend some advice?

Overhead press with shoulder injury

Is there another lift where I can get the same results with a lower impact lift?

Just a few questions about building strength
Should I do only 3 reps per set or is 5 better?
Right now I'm trying to eat a lot of protein per meal (can't drink protein shakes because of reasons I won't bother you guys with) exactly how much should I eat a day if I'm 24?
Can I build strength while losing weight? Right now I'm 200 and trying to drop down to 160 in the next 4 months or so.
Should I strength train before cardio and if I do that does the running affect my strength gains?
Besides squats and deadlifts are there any good strength building exercises I can do?
Also just any advice in general would be appreciated.

Advice needed as Full body routine is kicking my..
Hello all,
Would love some advice, I'm 37, 6ft 1 and currently 101kg, I'm currently doing a fully body routine 3 times in an 8 day period, my current 5 rep maxes are Bench 100kg, Squat 170kg and deadlift 180kg.. I'm looking for advice regarding the best split for an 8 day period(due to shift work).. I am able to train 4 days out of the 8 with 2 of the days being back to back, My main goal is strength but I don't compete. The reason for change is full body is starting to kick my ass. Thanks
