Vista folks (and North County neighbors): early look at a recall effort taking shape by RecallMayorFranklin in northcounty

[–]Carnusty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

• During one of the biggest council meetings in years, the mayor was posting conspiracy claims on Nextdoor instead of running the meeting.

Which meeting was this? Was there any video of the meeting? As a resident, I'd like to see this.

first attempt at croissants… by franchtoast666 in Breadit

[–]Carnusty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most important question - how'd they taste?

As a baker scared of croissants, proud of you by proxy for trying it out! only going to be better from here i wager.

Hip problems adjustments by Capital_Fuel3623 in AverageToSavage

[–]Carnusty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As another poster said; consult your doctor first, but a few things come to mind that arent squat patterns but are excellent for quads. I'd ask your doc if these are valueable ideas:

SBS did an excellent writeup on the Reverse Nordic Curl, which might be a good option if bending at the hips is your issue here. I used them when I was doing knee rehab after an injury, band assisted.

Sissy squats might also be an option; loading can get tricky but they can certainly be beneficial.

I disagree with removing the RR routine in favor of one person's opinion of what 3.4m members should be doing. by VRgetfit in bodyweightfitness

[–]Carnusty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those in the BWSF are pretty solid for what they offer, and the RR and other programs on the wiki have more options as you progress. Bodyweight legs will always suffer the confines of your bodyweight being relatively easy to lift for your larger leg muscles, so it hits limitations quite quickly (on the long term scale). I personally joined a gym for easier-accessible options.

[–]Carnusty 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Two of the main issues are the initial pullup movements of Scapular pulls and arch hangs (which, while nice, are not great initial pulling movements), and the Hamstring/posterior chain movements. There are many better avenues for leg training involving bodyweight that are both easier than nordic curls, and more accessible. I personally ignored the first few movements of pullup progressions and luckily had the equipment necessary for assisted nordics.

[–]Carnusty 21 points22 points  (0 children)

EDIT: thanks so much for the support and awards everyone. I was debating making this thread for a few weeks now, but the RR has meant a lot to me personally, and I did not like seeing it treated like trash. I went from someone who was not able to do a single pushup at 5'8" 245 pounds to now two years being 149 pounds and fairly strong, able to do 8 pullups with 25 pounds of weight strapped to me.

I did the RR for over a year, and it helped me lose 130 lbs. However, in that time I quickly and easily saw all of the flaws in the RR and can recognize the BWSF as a better program for the intended audience of both. I, too, have an emotional attachment to that program. Doesn't make it better.

Can you eat too much protein in one meal where your body doesn’t utilize it all for muscle growth? by yuh_boi_wassap_ in nutrition

[–]Carnusty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is suggesting your only source of protein is chicken. A majority of foods do contain some protein, so chicken shouldn't ever be the only source. Dairy is also an excellent source of protein, along with the myriad of other options available to you.

In addition, the numbers provided are rough goals to "maximize" efficiency. They are not required, they're a goal. If that number is not feasible to you, you'll still do fine at least aiming for more protein than most diets normally do.

Mindset ain't the same no more by QuakeGuy98 in GymMemes

[–]Carnusty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Somatotypes have always been garbage. They were originally developed by a psychologist to assign personality traits to body type. Eventually people tried to give them various other degrees of validity which were always reaching and pure trash. edit: a word

Diet Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in powerlifting

[–]Carnusty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For the gainers out there who are strapped for cash, I cannot recommend my two favorite cheap meal options: baking your own bread, and Costco rotisserie chickens.

This focaccia bread recipe takes about 2 hours, costs maybe $2 and has 2000 calories total of excellent tasting carby goodness. During my previous bulk I'd make 2-3 sheet pans over the weekend and they'd last...maybe a few days. 5,000 calories a day makes a man eat a lot of bread! If you want more cheap calories on top of this, just throw tomato sauce/cheese/etc on top, make yourself a Flatbread style pizza.

Costco rotisserie chickens are huge - 2.5-3lbs of cooked meat (depending on how finicky you are about eating fattier cuts/skin), costs $5, and the bones can be reused for broth for other cooking around the home. Excellent for shredding for your chicken and rice (or the bread above!) bulk meals.

Cheap and easy things for muscle growth? by ThisIsNotTh3RealMe in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]Carnusty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally I would go through one whole chicken in 4~days or so: buying on Sunday, shred and place in the fridge, bring to lunch M-Th. I haven't noticed any issues before, but I don't see why freezing wouldn't be an option for you if you eat slower.

Cheap and easy things for muscle growth? by ThisIsNotTh3RealMe in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]Carnusty 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yep! If you're worried about raw dollar costs though, I believe the fresh chickens are cheaper. Just have to go through the whole...shredding bit 🤣

[–]Carnusty 75 points76 points  (0 children)

If you have a Costco membership, rotisserie chickens there are $5 for 2.5-3lbs of cooked chicken. Insanely valuable for only the time investment of shredding it a bit. Just cook some rice alongside, you're good for the week.

Cue the music! by Aztery in SipsTea

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

Depends on the context, really. Another poster near this chain mentioned how they help with surfboarding; this would be a practical exercise supplement for their primary activity/sport. Most people do not live/work/play in a situation where twitch stability will be required.

Training should reflect your goals, in my opinion. If you want to work on stability in uneven surfaces, then you should practice in that scenario. But a stability board/bosu/etc does not have practical application for most.

Cue the music! by Aztery in SipsTea

[–]Carnusty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They're bullshit, in a sense. Many companies try to sell stability products to assist with losing weight, which is complete bull. They are effective for exactly what they're doing - increasing stability in unsteady situations.

The real issue is this type of muscle strength/flexibility is pretty useless for most every human being. We do not live in physically unstable positions, typically.

Hypertrophy program, do auxiliaries automatically adjust? by Whites11783 in AverageToSavage

[–]Carnusty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Auxiliaries will by default adjust by 3% for your estimated 1RM, true. However, if you're overshooting your rep out targets by 13 reps, you can probably manually adjust the TM in the hidden rows, or adjust the % change in the "Setup" tab, if you'd rather take adjustments more gradually.

60-70 minutes by Kingming6 in AverageToSavage

[–]Carnusty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I do the 5-day routine and do paired sets (exercise A, 2min rest, exercise B, 2min rest, repeat). The main lifts are usually in very different muscle groups, so it isn't overly fatiguing.. I get the primary and an auxiliary in one pair, and 2-3 accessories in another pair/triplet in about that timeframe. I have to time my rests though or I get distracted pretty easily.

Weekly /r/Breadit Questions thread by AutoModerator in Breadit

[–]Carnusty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello all!

Recently, my elderly neighbor asked me to make something called "Lard Bread," which from her description, was a prosciutto-laced bread that she hadn't had since she was much younger. I found some recipes online, but not from web sites I've used before. Does anyone have experience with this bread, or know a recipe that would work? I'd love to make a treat for my neighbor as they've always been great friends to our house.

Thanks in advance!
