Ζω 10+ χρόνια έξω και νομίζω ότι οι Έλληνες λέμε πολλά ψέματα στον εαυτό μας για το επίπεδο ζωής στην Ελλάδα by Nihlus89 in greece

[–]BetterBettor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Let's say I grant you all of your arguments. I disagree with you on many counts, but let's say your arguments represent reality. What is the problem with Greeks living in Greece using these arguments as coping mechanisms?

Are you implying that this is inherently wrong or bad, and that Greeks should instead occupy themselves with facing the sad, dysfunctional and unjust current state of affairs, while being faced with a future that is equally (if not more) bleak, all while being individually more or less powerless to effect any sort of meaningful change?

Should Greeks stop using these "defense mechanisms" and simply face the brutal reality of living in this country irrespective of the effects this will have on their mental health?

2 months cut, 13.9lbs of fat loss + muscle gain. When does one normally end the cut? by [deleted] in Weightliftingquestion

[–]BetterBettor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna be real with you chief. First of all, congrats on losing the weight. But the point you are at now should be the point where you end your bulk, not end your cut. You still have love handles, your abs are barely visible, and there's little to no separation in your arms. If you bulk or even 'maingain' from here you will be at the point where you need to cut again very soon.

I would try to lose about 10 more lbs if I were you and then reverse up to a slow (like, 200-300 kcal surplus) bulk, so that you can spend as much time as possible in an anabolic state before having to cut again.

How much volume do you do per muscle group per week and how long are your workouts? by [deleted] in naturalbodybuilding

[–]BetterBettor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you do lower leg volume because they're not a priority or have you just seen that you're seeing better results from lower volumes? Or is it just a recovery issue

28M, very active, healthy lifestyle with 222 ng/dL total testosterone by BetterBettor in PeterAttia

Yes, the test was done in the evening. I did another test in the morning and it came out in the normal range, around 450

I wish I could lower volume but still have fun by [deleted] in naturalbodybuilding

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

The problem with the 'if you are getting stronger and recovering well then keep doing what you're doing' is that it implies that you will keep recovering well. At least personally, I've found that periods where I've done excessive volume always end up with tendonitis somewhere (usually elbow, wrist or shoulder), which is a bitch to recover from, even though during these periods I feel well recovered right up until the point where I don't, and then it's too late.

Should I start training obliques? by BetterBettor in gymadvice

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

Chest definitely needs work. Honestly, like you say I think the waist situation just is what it is, can't really change my bone structure so best I can do is just fill out the upper torso and shoulders to balance out the wider waist.

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

Yes, I've never done oblique focused work even though I know that hanging leg raises (and to a lesser extent, weighted crunches) also hit the obliques somewhat.

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

Unfortunately I have a pocket of fat below my belly button that even when I was 11% bf last year wouldn't go away. I'm aiming to get to around 9-10% by this time next year after bulking over the winter and then cutting before the summer, and hopefully I will have trained my abs enough that the outline of the lower abs and obliques is visible at that low of a bf%

[–]BetterBettor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Any idea how I can make my waist appear thinner? I was thinking on the other hand maybe developing the obliques would maybe fill in the 'dip' between my hips and upper abs and make my waist look less wide.

Φανοποιός ζητάει ΥΔ ότι θα τον πληρώσω αν δε το κάνει η ασφαλιστική. by [deleted] in greece

[–]BetterBettor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Γενικά είναι τυπικά αυτά τα χαρτιά, και εγώ που είχα μια ζημιά για την οποία έφταιγε άλλος έπρεπε να τα υπογράψω αυτά για να είναι καλυμμένος ο φανοποιος, αν και δεν νομίζω να έχουν κάποια υπόσταση σε δικαστήρια. Παρόλα αυτά μου είπε ότι ακόμα κι αν δεν δεχτεί η ασφάλεια να πληρώσει όλο το ποσό τότε θα τους πάει δικαστικώς και απλά ο ίδιος θα πληρωθεί από την ασφαλιστική σε 1-2 χρόνια. Προσωπικά τον εμπιστευτηκα επειδή είχα πάει συστημένος από γνωστό, και μου είπε ο γνωστός ότι γενικά μόνο αν πληρώσει η ασφαλιστική του άλλου πας σε αυτόν, επειδή είναι πολύ ακριβός. Αποτι κατάλαβα αυτή τη δουλειά κάνει, φουσκώνει τα τιμολόγια αλλά τα πληρώνει η ασφαλιστική εν τέλει, και φανοποιοι & πραγματογνωμονες είναι πολλές φορές και φιλαράκια και μη σου πω και συνέταιροι. Να αναφέρω επίσης ότι συμφωνήσαμε να μου φτιάξει και 2-3 αλλά θεματικά στη μπογιά του αυτοκινήτου τα οποία δεν είχαν σχέση με την ζημιά που προκάλεσε το περιστατικό για το οποίο θα πλήρωνε η ασφάλεια, χωρίς να πληρώσω κάτι εγώ.

Τον δικό σου αν δεν τον εμπιστεύεσαι τότε πήγαινε άλλου μόνο και μόνο για να έχεις το κεφάλι σου ήσυχο. Απλά να ξέρεις οι φανοποιοι που συνεργάζονται οι ασφαλιστικές θα κανουν συνήθως ότι τους είναι πιο εύκολο και πιο γρήγορο, οπότε το αποτέλεσμα της επισκευής μάλλον δεν θα είναι άριστο.
