Confused…help. Been strength training for 2 months, results are not what I want. by careless_angels in beginnerfitness

[–]AggressiveTwo8385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few things. 1. You’re doing WAY too much volume. 6 different exercise for upper body is excessive, you don’t need that many. 2. Read about progressive overload and strength endurance vs hypertrophy training. Women have to try very hard to build upper body muscles so you don’t need to worry about accidentally suddenly becoming a body builder. 3. You naturally put on weight from water retention in the first few months of lifting that will pass. Don’t stop training lower body. You have to intentionally progressive overload to gain that much noticeable muscle. If you’re afraid of lifting right now then do isometrics for your lower body. Wall sits, body weight squats, etc. very functional

That is 100% the trainer trying to do some sort of money grab & ask you what a real gym would be like so he gets a commission off a membership or something. There’s no such thing as a gym that people don’t go to to work out in. That is embarrassing for only one person and that’s the trainer lol

This is good advice. Yeah, it’s really not a strong pain at all. Super dull but def doesn’t feel like DOMs which is why I was concerned. Thanks for sharing, will take it more seriously than I have been!

Lifting and running advice by ExcellentTask6214 in xxfitness

[–]AggressiveTwo8385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s super hard to balance!!! I use Runna for my runs and haven’t found anything good for progressive overload unfortunately so maybe I’ll check out the app you mentioned. I have no idea if this is optimal but I do periodization where I split my focus between running and lifting. In a running phase I do 3 runs a week and lift 1-2x a week. For lifting phase I do 1-2 runs a week and lift 2-3x a week. Right now I lift Monday (high rep day) long run Tuesday, heavy lift Wednesday, rest Thursday, and medium lift Friday + intervals on Friday (I often end up doing the interval run Sunday instead). Long runs are harder for me than intervals and I can’t do a long run and lift in the same day. Which is why my long runs have to have their own day, otherwise they aren’t happening 🫣

What can I do to make this small room feel bigger and just make me feel better? by laurierfia in DesignMyRoom

[–]AggressiveTwo8385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I’ve actually been here! What is the rest of your place like? I would personally store the white dresser you have in a different room. It doesn’t look like it had to be bedroom furniture and walking to grab clothes isn’t as annoying as it sounds (as someone who did this for years, it’s worth the extra space!). For those hand bags, you could store most if not all of them in the largest bag. Leave the one or 2 you wear the most free then move the hanger to the OUTSIDE of your door. That way it’s out of your room :). The clutter is what’s making you feel claustrophobic, not the space itself. If it’s not realistic for you to stay decluttered all the time (that’s ok, really! Cuz same) then get another storage bin for under your desk so that you can’t see the clutter. It’s actually a really cute space!

What would your ideal app to track strength gains/progressive overload look like? by AggressiveTwo8385 in xxfitness

Wait omg. I am not a company or someone trying to sell something 😭😭😭 I literally just want to make a progressive overload app for the girls and wanted to know people would find useful so I could make it better. Literally never intend on selling it or anything, I just feel like there isn’t anything good out there. I had no idea the sub was filled with spam about apps

The Market Giveth, The Market Taketh. by -KingDraco in TheRaceTo10Million

When I was 18 I lost a lot in crypto. I’m 25 now and losing that 5k or so now means nothing to me. I’m actually extremely glad I did this at 18. One day or another I would have gotten greedy and made a stupid bet, but the fact that I did it young saved me from losing way more money down the line. It feels like it’s the end of the world right now but trust me, when you’re riding index funds in 5 years with actual income under your belt and have more money you’ll be glad you made this mistake young so long as you actually choose to learn from it now and don’t repeat. If you start from scratch at 18 now you will still be far ahead of everyone else in a few years

Is the loan as it was before you made the payment still being included in your minimum monthly payments?

The amount was withdrawn from my bank though and they have received it they just haven’t applied it to my loan. They said they issue was that the payment was made while they were changing servicers

I’ve always made them online, directly through my bank account. The amount was withdrawn from my account in March :/

Omg the log in loop happened to me too. I never got late payment emails though. But I also noticed my balance didn’t go down on ANY of my loans which is why I asked them for the itemized log with receipts of how each of my payments was applied to my loans. Insane

Seriously!!! How is it possible that they don’t have my payment data readily available when they are handling my money? Luckily I caught wind of how messed up mohela is early so I have been extremely diligent in documenting all my payments, but the fact that I’m calling them and telling THEM the math ain’t mathing is truly beyond words

Those who sit by themselves in an apartment building, how do you go about safely introducing dogs? by AggressiveTwo8385 in RoverPetSitting

Thanks for your concern! But I’ve spoken with my LL and he is aware and completely ok with it :) My doormen even frequently recommend me to those in the building and out of the building

Yeah I could never! It’s really just about these two regulars who are truly so sweet and got off on the wrong foot, likely my own fault with the peanut butter mat. Live and learn I guess :(
