I've been lurking on both RP reddits (as well as reading sidebar material) for a while now. I've been pretty lazy. Typical story of being feminine, out-of-frame and whatnot. You lot have heard it all before. Long story short, I'm now about that self-improvement.

DISCLAIMER 1: I want to start off by saying that I did read Rule Zero. I'm not here to whine or gripe. I was dealt a shit hand, but I'm playing with it anyway.

DISCLAIMER 2:The '101' of it is: lift, hygiene, style, dis-bitch/un-blue yourself, and improve. I have no problem with that. I'm sure you get a bunch of "what do I do?"s here. Me? I'm asking "how"s.

1) For lifting. Even people who don't browse the RP subs know that this is basic RP stuff. I know that lifting is part of the package, but the question is what to lift and in what fashion. I was looking into 5x5 stronglifts, but I've been told a lot of counter-arguments that it sucks. Goal-wise, I'm trying to flatten my stomach and put on lean mass. Fast metabolism so I'm not skinny-fat. Just unable to build up. Stronglifts okay, or is there a better way?

2) Martial arts. I used to do them when I was younger and stopped. Now, I want to get back into them. This time, I want some actual styles that do damage, not that hoo-hah Tekken Tag shit I did back in the day. I've seen some RPs say any of the JJ styles or MMA is a good choice, along with boxing and muay thai. Any truly dangerous styles out there that are not only effective, but very fitness-enducing for its practitioners?

P.S. Still new to posting my own thread in the RP world. In case it sounds 'meh', that's why.
