It's called balance, Balance is key to a successful life. I have now found a great balance in my life and haven't felt this good for years. If you can master the balance of: Socialising, Working, Being a Hermit and Health, you'll exceed in life. You socialise too much your health with deteriorate (Really dependant on the type of people you hang out with), you won't be able to get enough hours in work or in your school work, you won't get any time to yourself to reflect and have a bit of 'you' time which is just as essential as hanging out with other people. Work too much, your health and social life will suffer. With too much time to yourself which can lead to bad thoughts, anxieties etc. Work out, focus on your health too much you'll become obsessed, won't socialise, not put enough work into school and you'll have too much time to yourself. See the pattern? Take everything with a pinch of salt, Just my two cents, it's worked for me and everyone I've advised to adopt this method has turned their life around. Best of luck. P.S Girlfriend =/= Happiness.

Bank Picture? :) Look forward to your posts!

You've inspired me to start raising my abysmal runecrafting level to something more appropriate!

Well done :) Must've taken a lot of dedication! Out of interest, how much profit did you make?

Hey, after I am done with cooking I plan to max strength, then attack along with slayer, which should provide me with some money to power through mage. Anyway; my setup at the moment: Black Mask (10) - Will eventually be a Full Slayer. Glory Bando's Chest Piece Whip Rune Defender Bando's Tassets Dragon Boots Combat Bracelet (Still need to get around to Recipe For Disaster) Fire Cape Now, with strength in mind would I be best off with: Glory + Saradomin Sword or Fury + D Scimitar + Rune Defender I cannot afford both :/ All levelling will be done using slayer tasks, Thank you for any input.

Which game has been your favourite so far? They've all been pretty bland for me :( The best I've seen has been Brazil v North Korea. (I didn't catch the Spain match, nor the Germany one :'< )

Is that loss of 44mill even after you've sold the bars?

Profit? I like the sound of that, but in comparison to the aforementioned method does the profit outweigh the time taken to get to 99?

Sorry, do you mean 75-80 = Alch 80-94 = Stun 94-99 = Stealing Creation My income is poor, I got lucky with drops, I won't be exceeding 75 odd million for a while. Superheating is a little over my budget I think, Unless it would get me 99 in a matter days :) -speak oN

Hey, I've tried to research myself but all the YouTube videos are incredibly outdated or just terrible overall. So TipIt, could you advise me how to get 75-99 mage. I have a total of roughly 78million to invest. But would prefer not to go over 20mill. Speed is not an issue, as long as it's relative to the amount I am paying. Thanks !

I love every topic where wep offers great, legit advice and they always shoot him down and disregard it. It's unbelievable. Respect to wep for his persistence.

Hey fellas! Everything is going great now, diet is more refined, found another gym that has all the equipment necessary for Starting Strength! Thank you for all your help! Really helped :) See you soon with comparison photo's in a few months! :)

Do you deem it necessary? I avoid going with friends, if anything I think it would demotivate me, but that's me. I'd rather go when I want to and get stuck in without distractions. But if you do feel it necessary to go with someone, the suggestions posted above are about as good as they can get.

Hey Stu! Thanks for all the advise Training hard hasn't been a problem so far, disciplined due to previous experience that aspect is going well. Changed a lot of things in my life and it's all fitting in nicely. But, that being said there is still one huge problem that I am yet to overcome - Food. What can I say, I am an incredibly fussy eater. I wish I wasn't but I just cannot stomach food. Oats, the most prestigious and widely talked about food in this regard and I tried them today in three forms - Milk, Water & Some Cottage Cheese/Egg/Oat type pancake omelette hybrid. I just couldn't take more than 3 spoonfuls/bites. A lot of things I have found good substitutes for. e.g: Calcium (More of a personal thing for me) Having light cheese with a lot of things, yoghurts and the milk from my protein shakes are a nice bonus. Swapped white bread for brown bread, eating vegetables with every meal etc. For the past 3 weeks or so I have cut down significantly or completely all the [cabbage] out of my life, parents are still in shock after asking for extra broccoli, bless 'em! I'm eating small but often in moderation at the moment as is working well for me. But as I said - I am a fussy [bleep]er! I dislike bananas, oats, eggs (scrambled/omelettes etc), cottage cheese mackerel and a lot lot lot more. Also, as expected I am having problems with what I used to deem a blessing, I can survive on very little amounts of food and sleep so my body is still adjusting to the huge jump in food intake and amount of sleep I am (attempting) getting. How long does this process usually take? Weeks? Months? Of course I want to maximise my food in-take but I can't go until I'm sick. With oats and eggs out of the equation: Meal 1 This is where I am seriously struggling, due to my being a fussy [bleep] the most important meal of my day is hard to get some good nutrition. Meal 2 Protein shake (16oz. milk, 2 scoops whey), ¼ cup nuts Meal 3 6-8oz chicken breast, 1 cup of green beans, 1 cup brown rice - Could you suggest alternatives to accompany the rice? I usually have soy-sauce (no salt) Meal 4 Big sandwich (roast beef, turkey, ham, light cheese, veggies), whole wheat bread, fruit - Perfect, can definitely work with this TRAIN Meal 5 Protein shake or weight gainer,1 cup yogurt - Need a substitute for oats Meal 6 6-8oz lean steak (preferably the round cut), sweet potato, 1 cup carrots - Need a substitute for sweet potato - I despise roast potato's/mash etc so I can't see myself liking it. Meal 7 1 cup cottage cheese, 2 tbsp. natural peanut butter, small protein shake (casein-based ideally) - Meal 7 need other suggestions, what types of foods have a slow 'burn' rate and will stay with me for the longest time until I wake up? Before you say it; 'Man Up' 'Stop Whining' isn't an option. I've tried and it just resulted in .. well something to clean up. You mentioned fish oil in your shake, skeptically I will probably end up buying some to try it. Do you really not notice it? Even if you can notice it, would you highly recommend it? While on the topic, can you think of anything else that I could purchase of this nature? I currently only take Vitamin C (Which is pretty irrelevant to all of this) Would you advise Omega 3 tablets and the sort? Lastly, can you think of any food substitute you enjoy to compliment me being a [bleep]? Parents have been very helpful so far and have got by a lot of the barriers and am getting some good calories and nutritious meals. But there's still room for improvement. Many thanks for you help p.s myweps I added you on rs! add me - speak oN

:D

The whey you linked--it is important to understand that the whey you linked to is not really great to have as a simple shake. That whey is just a source of protein that is mainly intended to add into things like pancakes or oatmeal. If you want something to drink down with water after a workout, you would be better off with something like the 100% Gold Standard whey that I linked to above. Food log--the main things I would focus on are calories and protein. These are going to be the most important for maintaining your energy and building/maintaining muscle. You could also log carbs and fat if you want to. Some people find it overwhelming to log a ton of things at first. Experienced loggers have memorized nutrition stats for most foods. But if you are just starting, it can be very frustrating to have to look all that stuff. Start off with a simple calorie or calorie+protein log just to get a vague idea of how much fuel you are giving your muscles. Squat rack---honestly if I were you I would use your local gym (unless it sucks). I think that the act of GOING TO the gym is an important part of my training. I like the fact that there is a building that I go to specifically to bust my [wagon]. But, if you can focus at home and honestly do a really hard work out, then yes a squat rack would be a great thing to buy. They are quite expensive though...plus you need to buy the barbell + all the plates and stuff. It can cost a LOT of money. But yeah, most of my workout is done with squat rack, a bench (one that can incline and decline), barbells and dumbells. If you want to build strong/huge legs you need to be squatting. Thanks. Going to buy a small amount of Creatine and give it a test run once my workouts are refined and in a consistent routine. Food log, again in the works. As I have exams + a job in Tesco (Wal-Mart's equivalent) and socialising it is proving a lot harder to maintain a decent food intake than I imagined, well not so much the food intake more what I am consuming. For example, for today's shift I had Crisps, Chocolate bar and a can of Sprite, as there is no other option. So I'll be starting the food log once I find a decent way to tackle said problems. On a side note; I'm trying desperately to try new things. Tried a banana - that went down awfully. Wheatabix - Physically couldn't swallow more than two pieces, and several other similar foods. Trying oats tomorrow and cannot help but be pessimistic. Which is kind of why I will most likely be relying on unnatural products to fill that void, sadly. As regards my local gym. It's bog standard, it's not terrible but it's far from good. Very overcrowded with very old slow people who take forever on machines and if not them, steroid fiends who hog the equipment - everyone is entitled to use the equipment it's just a little off putting. So I will most likely be buying a squat rack as that's really the only piece of equipment I am missing everything else I have at home which, as explained before would be ideal as I could have a guaranteed workout everyday and potential save money in the long term.

The only counter attack for commando possible is trying to keep your distance (Which, on most maps will be next to impossible if not irrelevant) and have a fibre optic connection. For noob tubing, if it is really really bad then your best shot would be 10% Blast Shield and 90% luck. That's about it. My personal favourite: ESC > Leave Game > Find Game...

Loved that gun with a silencer for S&D! Used it in my first prestige but haven't used it since for some reason :S Definitely going to try the Vector again. :) S&D With four other friends all using Riot shields is a lot fun ! We also won a surprisingly amount more than we expected to as well!

Very nice progress! Your observation about gamer's elbows is a bit.. scary and true! :) Keep up the work!

I keep cardio outside of the Gym, I found it pretty de-motivating seeing two miles on the 'Distance Travelled' but hadn't actually moved anywhere! I've found lots of places around my area that I didn't know existed, fresh air and you can truly say you accomplished something! That's what worked for me, anyway. In the nature of the topic; I did my 30minute weight routine and my floor exercises.

I take A-Level computing, so I am surrounded by stereotypical /b/ idiots who think they're hilarious and the greatest gamers you'll ever meet. Genuinely heard people brag about 11 streaks. Then mix that with 90% of the MW2 population and you get a nasty result of narrow mindedness! Can anyone recommend some new class setups? I've played pretty much most of them, but there must be something new and innovative. I've even played MP5k Silencer, Single Ranger, Bling Pro, Danger Close, Scrambler, Throwing Knife and Smoke Grenade just to spice things up!

.. Again, take into consideration, especially in school I am surrounded by people bragging that they got a harrier with a 3 - 5 - 7 setup.. then take into account the average IQ of a stereotypical MW2 player.. it's not everyday you come across people that know what they're doing. Don't see why it offended you so much. But, what ever. See you around.

Would stuff like this; http://www.optimumnutrition.com/products/creatine-750-caps-p-232.html http://www.optimumnutrition.com/products/100-any-whey-protein-p-199.html Help achieve my goals? There descriptions, for me are pretty misleading. For my food log what should I note down? Calories, Fat, portion size, time consumed etc? Lastly, talking to another friend about this he lives and swears by squat racks and says that's all I need. Although I am not sure if he misinterpreted my aims, would you advise buying a squat rack? They seem pretty good. Thanks!

Genuinely cannot figure out what I've done wrong. :/

FMJ for Spas12 exists, unless that is to an older post. A festival of camping, noobtubes and claymores? :/ I just love it as you can manipulate spawns and monopolise on air support. http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/2169/11036.png Far from the greatest score ever, but for a UAV/CUAV/Pred setup it's not that bad, and I'm sure you're gagging to scream CAMPER/NOOB TUBER. I used a Tar21 Silenced and did not camp, bar defending HQ's. If you would like to play with me on Steam I would love to, there you can make an educated guess and I will support your conclusion. All I ever get asked is the easiest way to get nukes, now maybe I misjudged your skill levels, and if I did I am very sorry. But they were my opinions. I've been playing since the original was released, so I like to think I have a basic grasp of these games. But I love nothing more than being proved wrong. Sorry, again if I offended you.
