funny, gyms are expensive as fuck here, but between running, pushups, crunches, etc, I don't really need one

If I had skipped my optional highschool year I'd have graduated with a BA aged 19.

Really? How come?

Really? How come?

My birthday is right before the start of school so if you enroll when 4 years old, I was only 4 years old for like 3 weeks before I went to school, so I left 2nd level education when 17 and was just 18 when I started a 3 year BA course, so had I skipped my 4th year of Secondary School I'd have left when 16 and started college just after turning 17...

3 years only? lucky you.

I could have made it 4 with a year abroad but:

A. Now partner school in a German speaking country

B. I could and will hopefully have an MA before my 22nd birthday

 

[Fred]

Why are you going for a masters so fast? You intend to continue in academia?

 

[Seven]

I could have had a masters last year if I didn't opt for law school either. It's pretty normal in some countries I guess.

TBH their's a recession on and the MA will cost at most €15,000 including accomodation etc and is more specialised than the BA i'm doing.

Gym was illegal in Germany for 23 years between 1819 and 1842.

Here's a question..

What do you like to drink before (not 1 minute before) the training and what after? Do you make some home made drinks or something?

I make shakes sometimes and when I do that I make a lot so I can drink before and after.

When I don't make shakes I drink lots of water before the training and I drink either this:

Water. Before, during and after.

But seriously, water is hugely underrated. Try and drink at least 3L a day, even more in this heat.

 

[JBF]

Water, both before and after. And yes its home made

I drink 3 L water per day anyway.

Jack, that looks great. I wonder if I could find that here. The gainomax thing.

Water is not underrated. It's recommended to drink 3L+ every day. Guys who are shredding and getting under 5% body fat are drinking 5-6L a day.

Before I started training I think I drank like 1L tops. Usually people neglect water.

 

[Dostoevsky]

It makes me pee every 15 minutes.

Don't drink 5L a day though. 3 will be just fine. More than that is not healthy either.

I don't drink as much. I think I'm around 1.5L a day. Sometimes more sometimes less.

I was read something recently that says going under 9% body fat is dangerous for you immune system and long term health.
