Hey lifting goons, I'm hitting plateaus in like everything I do. I'm thinking of increasing my caloric intake by about 15% and having an extra cheat day a week for the next month to try and bust through it, any other ideas?

One of my sisters had some jaw pain like 20 years ago and it possibly being TMJ was tossed around until a doctor found that it wasn't that (and she got better).

Couple of things I do is start doing drop sets in my workouts until I get past it, or I will switch up my routine from heavy lifts to lower weight/higher rep workouts for a few months, but my fitness goal isn't max strength all the time.

I cut my drinking way back a few weeks ago. 2 drinks friday night usually whisky and water and no more than 6 in a weekend again usually the same or vodka and soda. I make sure to get 8 hours a night. Had an easy week last week. Dropped back a step in terms of weight and focussed on control and form etc. I use the strong first principle quite a bit. So i dont smash myself day in ans out

FizFashizzle posted:post your routine I watched the Directors Cut of Batman vs. Superman, and it made so much more sense. Like it still wasn't a great movie, but I actually had a better appreciation for the characters and understood their choices. I watched the Directors Cut of Suicide Squad thinking a similar thing would happen and I was just more confused.

SundayMoney posted:I was diagnosed with TMJ about 15 years ago and I've been dealing with a ton of pain. But thankfully the joint itself doesn't have a ton of wear on it so it's all in the muscles of it. Which he told me after 15 years of it, getting appliances aka mouth guards for it and taking meds along with muscle stretching exercises is about all I can do. It's just frustrating is all. Wait there's anything you can do for TMJ? I just quit chewing gum and now it only tweaks me every so often.

I hated Batman v. Superman way more than Suicide Squad. I mean, both movies are completely godawful but at least the latter had the courtesy to end at some point.

Just watch Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and actually enjoy a comic book movie. Kong:Skull Island was surprisingly fun too actually.

Gumbel2Gumbel posted:Have you guys tried contract relax (also known as PNF) stretching? Static stretches have never worked on any joint for me. I'm going to have to look into this, the doctor I just saw gave me a list of stretches to try and help. Thankfully the structure of my jaw is sound so mine is muscular. Both doctors I've seen told me that's better than if the structure was bad because the surgery is painful and not 100% guaranteed. Also asking about gum, I haven't chewed gum in 15 years to try and limit the pain as well. Normally I have a baseline of pain that I deal with but lately it's been really rough on me which isn't good for the job I have.

Seriously, outside of a few select Batman movies, what is the best DC comics movie? It has to be some minor or non-mainstream character, maybe Constatine? Otherwise you have to go back to like Superman 2.

Alan Moore pitched the idea of using the Charlton Comics characters DC had just bought but was talked into creating original characters. He didn't put a whole lot of effort into it: Captain Atom -> Dr. Manhattan The Question -> Rorschach Blue Beetle -> Nite Owl

Yeah, watchmen is a separate universe dealie that was written in the 80's as a homage / deconstruction to what superhero comics were at the time. Literally everything is better then that Superman movie from like 2005-2006. That thing was the dullest love letter from a director possible. The stuff from DC people like tends to be the goofy comedic stuff, so they should probably lean into that.

the funniest post i've ever read on this forum was someone doing a fake screenplay for a grim-dark DC movie about the dumbest of DC heroes, Banana Man. It was something like Dark figure holds knife up to thug's neck Thug: You're crazy! figure steps into the light. Hero: I'm.....totally bananas. /throat slash

Also, Lego Batman was the best Batman movie. My favorite part about it was it having all these absolutely ridiculous villains THAT ACTUALLY EXISTED IN THE COMICS. Looking at you Condiment Man.

Spidey Super Stories was aimed at very young children, so much like Newspaper Spider Man, it's fantastic:
