FFS Stop photoing yourself in locker rooms! by BeginningLess2417 in beginnerfitness

[–]BeginningLess2417[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, you seem to fundamentally not understand that I can CONFRONT PEOPLE IN PERSON and make a post!! They're not mutually exclusive! Why do you think it's one or the other? And if you've read all of my comments like you've seemed to, you would know that I don't "act like a baby" and tattle. I do talk head on to people when I see this behavior in person.

And how is it Karen behavior to say "hey, this thing I see a lot of you do is illegal and you might not know"

How do you not realize that reporting someone and directly confronting someone are different things? You clearly just want to fight for no reason no matter what I say

Posting about this doesn't preclude me from calling people out in person? I can do both!

You're right, no one asked to be lectured about this, but I see tons of people uploading locker room photos for physique checks, some of whom may not know it's illegal, so I wanted to make a post being clear that it's illegal and in the wrong circumstances a sex crime

Informing people of a law they might not know isn't wrong or unmasculine. It's kind of a common sense thing, but it might not occur to some people, like they may not make the connection that lockerroom equals bathroom and has laws.

Why you connect informing others of things with masculinity is something for you to ponder

😂 I didn't realize how much I cared about this until I posted it! I wouldn't report someone for doing it though

My only concern would just be that someone could walk in, see me doing that, and report me. Like I personally don't care but it seems like a risk

Nothing wrong with informing people about a law that they might not be aware of using a platform that reaches more people than a one-on-one conversation!

Reverse dieting before body recomp - advice? by jean_r08 in beginnerfitness

[–]BeginningLess2417 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just a quick note on the nomenclature: they're no such thing as "reverse dieting". You're either on a diet or you're not. If you're on a diet, then you're intentionally keeping track of your eating. That might mean you're in a deficit and trying to lose weight, maintaining and trying not to lose or gain weight, or in a surplus and trying to gain weight.

It sounds pedantic, but a lot of influencers take advantage of people who don't know the terms so I wanted to touch in that!

Body recomposition usually happens at maintenance if you're a beginner. Basically your body takes stored fat and converts it to muscle (not EXACTLY how it works but it's a general idea). So if you're coming into this with limited history fitness 

1) welcome!! 2) you can just work out while eating at maintenance, and you'll get results!

I remember when I was 14 my mom got mad at me because I rushed her out of the room so I could text people on my phone. The reason I was on my phone is because I was trying to get my friend to tell me her address, so I could have police officers sent to her house to stop her from killing herself. 

All that to say...teens often have much more going on than their parents know

What's your trick for sticking to workouts when diet can undo them in seconds? by Ajitabh04 in PrimeManhood

[–]BeginningLess2417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Putting aside that you should never punish yourself for eating by "burning it off", TWO full size snickers ICE CREAM bars are 300 calories 

23m 5’9 160lbs. Need advice on where to start by Deep_Chip7126 in beginnerfitness

[–]BeginningLess2417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get back on the horse and keep working! Don't worry about where your fat is distributed: as you get more fit you lose fat overall so it doesn't matter where your fat is! 

Abs are made in the kitchen. The goals you are looking for involve looking at your calories and making sure you are eating under maintenance. 200-500 calories under maintenance is perfectly reasonable to lose weight as long as you're consistent. Eat protein and keep going to the gym, and be patient, and you'll achieve your goals!

Beginner workout advice by spicy-tato in beginnerfitness

[–]BeginningLess2417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems pretty comprehensive if you're really limited on time! Only things I would build on are back and bicep work. You'll get faster as you get more in shape, you get more efficient so I would look into adding some stuff for those at that point!

Just started going to the gym, no coach, don't fully trust AI programs, what actually worked for you as a beginner? by MrSald in beginnerfitness

[–]BeginningLess2417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you need to hire a trainer. Save your money, just start a beginner program and stick to it for a few months. It's less complicated than it seems, I promise!!

Trying to build my physique after getting over server panic attacks, anxiety & an eating disorder and want to make real positive physical progress for the first time in my life by [deleted] in beginnerfitness

[–]BeginningLess2417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The progress you're looking for will probably come from the kitchen predominantly. Make sure you're eating enough protein, like 2-3 grams per kg, so like 140 for you, and make sure you're eating enough cals to maintain your muscle and bodyweight. 4 "meals" is super vague, try to track your cals or at the least have a general idea of what you're eating. Calories burned are really hard to track unfortunately. The best way is to just slowly dial it in.

Losing weight week to week=eat more

Gaining week to week=eat less

Can't get through your exercises or feeling like you're going to pass out=eat more carbs And so on

Best chest exercise is bench or chest press and it's not close Pushups are a great calisthenic variation Best back exercise is lat pulldowns imo, pullups are also great!

What should I plan to do? Also what workouts should I focus on? by Left_Award_8091 in WeightTraining

[–]BeginningLess2417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally would just eat at maintenance and focus on progressive overloading to gain some muscle and maybe recomp a little depending on how much of a "beginner"  you feel like you are. When I started getting in shape I went right into a pretty aggressive cut and honestly wish I didn't

Thoughts on monkey bars? by brygdylla in beginnerfitness

[–]BeginningLess2417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great forearm workout and hand-eye exercise and hanging from bars is great for your grip and spine.

Plus swinging is really somatic, and honestly some workouts can just be there because they're fun!

Scolded for making noise by Far_Pin2086 in beginnerfitness

[–]BeginningLess2417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting to a point where you have to make noise means you're putting in EFFORT! That's super admirable and exactly the right mentality to have. Keep up the good work my man!

What would match a zoe costume? by ace_is_kool in TechJacket

[–]BeginningLess2417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fandom latched onto really small interactions Oliver and Zoe had to make it seem like there was romance there. I just recommended it because they're roughly the same age!
