How many people go to the Parties during orientation and after test?

Getting big, going ham, namsayin?

Yeah, T may get you big, but you'll have trouble going ham due to testicular atrophy.

Considering it if I get back to going ham in the gym, it's sorta popular among med school guys I think.

As a medical student who frequently "goes ham in the gym," that is ridiculous.

Why don't you stop making excuses, start a program like starting strength or 5/3/1 (so that you have a set schedule), and stop looking for shortcuts. You're a medical student, not a professional athlete or an elite powerlifter.

 

[Mad Jack]

Can you quit it with the "haters" thing? For the most part, people are trying to HELP you via constructive criticism. You keep ignoring it or not taking it into consideration or brushing it off as "hater" talk, so naturally people are going to get frustrated and will eventually stop trying to help. Constructive criticism is aimed at getting you to improve yourself, and you will be receiving it daily when you hit the wards. We're not criticizing you with malicious intent, we're not making fun of you. But you do need to take the constructive criticism, don't take it personally but take it objectively, learn from it, and figure out a way to change your approach to school.

Heh, actually used to do 5/3/1. I can't squat anymore after an injury, but I can still DL and Bench.

More interested in aesthetics though I guess, will prob go back to doing my program I worked on with my trainer. Pulm just crushed my motivation to go to the gym, I was going HAM on dem books.

Not that it helped.

Just got my pathoma book today so it's way easier to follow along @ 2x speed than trying to write down all the notes while listening to 1.7x, moving up in the speed world

Holy f*ck you just suggested 5/3/1 I love you. Ark if you can't squat then just do something to replace it. Although I'm not really sure why you can't squat. If you have an injury, just rehab it. Squat is the grand daddy of them all...
Depending on where you are at strength wise I'd recommend the following:
Beginner(Performance is <315/225/405): Run starting strength till you get no more gains
Intermediate ( Performance is less than 455/315/545): run 5/3/1, madcows or TM
High level: person should know by now how to train, but following prilepin's table you can't really go wrong either.

how do you like Pathoma?

It's great. I would add a few interesting words between it's and great(it's that good), but I'm trying to clean up my act.

Pathoma is the best thing to ever happen to pre-clinical pathology. Take heme for example. Look at how FA presents the clotting cascade. It looks like a mess. It was confusingly taught to us in our heme/onc course. Listen to Sattar describe the cascade and after 1 minute you'll never forget.

It makes me feel all tingly inside and a) I'm not normally like that b) I pretty much try to do whatever the majority of my class doesn't do, so when most of them got pathoma I was like " screw pathoma I'm just gonna use RR and boss this thing," yet for some reason I thought to try it, and it's like the 3rd coming of christ.

I find that taking notes on the lecture helps force me to actually pay attention to what's going on rather than mindlessly spacing out. I cannot keep pace with a 2x lecture while taking notes though, I have to pause and think frequently.

Pathoma or school lectures? I probably couldn't pull 2.0 on school lectures, but I ignore mine anyway and just use the notes they give. Pathoma I think you can go faster than your typical speed because the book is a complete outline of what he discusses in the videos and then you just annotate little things here and there, like when he draws or goes into detailed explanations about a certain condition.

lol not sure I'd call it BFE but I guess to most of the people that enjoy city life it would be. I've been doing some researching and Tennessee has incredibly low cost of living, coupled with no state income tax, so there's like an 86 % chance that will be my future home, which is pretty BFE except a few places. Low COL + no state income tax = winning later in life

Lol, my parents are reminding me that it may be difficult to arrange a marriage if I fail out of med school.

It's true enough I guess. But it does remind me of the huge pressure I'm facing. My evolutionary future is at stake here.

They also asked if I would prefer a bride from the homeland or from America. I said India. If I marry an Indian here, I'll have to face the fact that she may have had a Mongol horde of American fratboys ravage her, and she's just with me to please her parents. There's no risk of that with an Indian wife.

[PL198]

Ark come on... If it's someone you're honestly going to eventually consider marrying, you'd be able to judge their personality well enough to know if something like that was a concern or not.. Don't look at it as your evolutionary stake. Look at it as your own judgement of your achievements. I'd rather be proud of my accomplishments in the end because I focused on those, rather than focusing on ones dealing with other people and possibly not getting everything I wanted out of life.

I doubt the human race cares if you reproduce from an evolutionary standpoint. So in other words you want someone safe, who won't leave you bc she's unhappy.

By the time your kids will have children, they'll already have a job and won't be under your rules. Funny how rather than improve on what your parents do, to be a better parent, you instead seek to emulate them.

[DermViser]

And you would know all about societal norms. Most people don't see having kids as some type of evolutionary duty, but one in which it's fun to raise a child and watch him/her grow up, etc. Even then, the human race is not dependent on you procreating. Some people shouldn't procreate.

Are you insulting me with that last bit?

Do you really think the Billy Bobs of the world should procreate, but not an educated, intelligent, unflinchingly honest man such as myself?
