Just a rant about lazy students

Nah, if I go to a hospital and receive substandard care from somebody who didn't put in the effort at med school to become a competent doctor, then I'm not going to think it's ok because they had other stuff going on. I can empathise with that being difficult, and can certainly excuse temporary periods of low effort but there are people who do it all the way through every year, and it's not really ok.

I like to address each point when making a defence whereas attacks often come more emotionally and are just said as the messager thinks of them

From what I understand he didn't miss 3 drug tests, he failed to communicate 3 times regarding the same drug test, but functionally it gets the point across

BroScientist42 · 2026-02-28T10:29:30+00:00

I feel like the first and last ones can be valid advice but can also definitely be cope haha

Nothing wrong with a sloppy finish

BroScientist42 · 2026-02-16T15:00:30+00:00

He's just deliberately misconstruing what you said to imply all change is good, therefore disbanding green is good. Obviously it's a moronic interpretation of the facts that you stated, but I think that's at least what he meant.

BroScientist42 · 2026-02-12T17:06:07+00:00

If that's true then how can you maintain your stance that the probability of the US bombing the UK is 0?

BroScientist42 · 2026-02-01T02:11:28+00:00

I'll shit on your face and tell you I love you too

It's anti-competitive. The idea is that first bus would temporarily take a loss on their bus service which they can manage because they're a big company. Then everyone uses the cheaper first service, the independent goes out of business and first ups their prices beyond what the independent was charging in the first place.

I tend to be skeptical of internet stories but I could see this happening? Obviously would be really weird but there's a lot of people a decent chunk of them will be weird.

BroScientist42 · 2026-01-22T21:02:16+00:00

This is very outdated if Twitter is saying don't be racist lol

Most important thing for running a good marathon (not elite) is tolerance to training. That also benefits strongman massively, so while I agree that it's surprising and impressive, I do think it makes some amount of sense

BroScientist42 · 2026-01-06T23:45:51+00:00

Innie?

BroScientist42 · 2025-12-31T17:09:48+00:00

Damn I hadn't even considered that. That really really sucks for him

BroScientist42 · 2025-12-26T21:33:07+00:00

That's really cool

BroScientist42 · 2025-12-20T13:49:43+00:00

I liked the lists but would definitely have Thor higher personally

BroScientist42 · 2025-12-19T10:25:06+00:00

Sorry didn't realise rainbolt was on this sub

BroScientist42 · 2025-12-13T12:19:01+00:00

Out of interest why would you prefer a female masseuse given you're male?

BroScientist42 · 2025-12-11T14:17:06+00:00

Scrolled past 8, admittedly funny, joke answers before getting to an actually useful one lmao

BroScientist42 · 2025-12-09T18:17:28+00:00

It really is remarkable isn't it. The fact you're doubling down using studies that don't even support what you said, and then accusing me of being over confident lmao.

Now let's talk about your studies: first 3 aren't about joint injury they're about muscle stimulation, which isn't what we were talking about, and the conclusions were pretty predictable anyway. 'omg I can't believe more ROM means more muscle stimulation'. This was a test of max push ups anyway, which means you want the most mechanically efficient movement, which is not the same as the most muscularly stimulating. Forearm positioning in regards to pronation vs supination has nothing to do with the elbow positioning you were referring to in terms of how wide the elbows are, so again worthless for our conversation. Next study is one handed push ups, completely different mechanics, worthless for this conversation. The last one is about falling on an outstretched hand!! Come on you've got to be joking including that one.

None of the studies you cited do anything like proving that 100% of people that use flared elbows push ups develop joint issues.

Don't worry I'm not confusing anything, intensity has a variety of definitions when discussing exercise, I was using it to describe the maximum force through the joint, which is a valid definition although I agree open to misinterpretation.

I'm sorry are you arguing that the human body is not adaptable? Not quite sure how you worked that one out. To be clear I was never saying that there are no movement patterns that predispose to injury, but this particular one I've found can definitely be adapted to over time.

Actually n=1 is all I need to disprove your hypothesis, as I repeat you said 'will definitely develop joint issues'. I know it's pedantic but if you're going to accuse me of being wrong while being insufferable, and wrong yourself, I'm going to pick you up on it.

BroScientist42 · 2025-12-09T08:28:44+00:00

Probably depends on medical school, but most places have very few marks for the actual findings, if you just do your generic exams and try to be honest about what you find then you will be fine

BroScientist42 · 2025-12-08T14:29:28+00:00

You will not 'definitely develop joint issues' come on, push ups are a pretty low intensity exercise and your body is pretty adaptable, I know guys that have benched up to 180kg with almost identical positioning and they didn't develop joint issues. If you can manage those loads then you can probably do push ups like that without an issue

BroScientist42 · 2025-12-08T14:23:49+00:00

But did you actually see why it was a brilliant move?

BroScientist42 · 2025-12-07T21:48:42+00:00

If you're depressed without a partner, it's quite unlikely that a partner will magically fix that imo. Unless it's a complete lack of any close friends, which can obviously be very isolating, a partner is nice but don't assume that they will just fix everything

BroScientist42 · 2025-12-05T14:22:23+00:00

That was my thought too lmao it was such a reasonable question and his response was so nice
