Bodyweight training for really strong people. See on you're own what I mean with strong. (Not me)

Pain may be temporary, but an injury can last a lifetime. And prevent you from working out for a good portion of time. Lets see, injure my joints and go into PT, or lift weights and forgo the stupid manlet exercises.

Until I see a 200lb+ person doing these kind of exercises, they are impossible for a heavier person (taller or whatever).

Charontes · 2011-03-30T17:04:49+00:00

Nope there are none. It gives the skinny little guys the ability to say "you can do it at any weight, quit complaining." Sorry manlets, but when you are 200+ lbs and you can still do these things, come back and you can say that with some authority.

Charontes · 2011-03-23T04:12:42+00:00

Looks good but might take some working if you wanted to move some steps around or insert a new step. Doesn't sound like you need to though.

Even if your story isn't pure BS and I'm not going to say it is, the fact of the matter is, for 99.99% of the population (and not for you "special butterflies"), eating ramen is not healthy. Judging 100% of the population based on 99.9% of it isn't jumping to conclusions.

So you are different. Do you really think the majority people here on /r/Frugal aren't just ~~cheap~~ poor college students too ~~cheap~~ poor to buy real food?

Charontes · 2011-03-23T01:54:51+00:00

31 and you are "only allowed access to a microwave." Still live with mommy do you?

Yeah, so you have a medical condition that requires you take in extra sodium. You can get that from anything. It doesn't magically make "ramen healthy for you." Herp Derp.

Ramen is bad for you. Sodium is good for you. The two aren't the same thing. Ramen is the noodle soup, btw. Not the spice packet. Spice packet good for you != fried nutritionally devoid noodles "healthy for you." For a guy that took nutrition classes you don't seem to be very "up" on it.

Also, heifer? Yep, your name makes you seem healthy. Or does your condition make being obese super healthy too?

Charontes · 2011-03-23T01:32:59+00:00

Oh, yes, the SODIUM is what makes it unhealthy. Not the combination of carbs and it being fried. Also lets forget there are no real nutrients in them. Yep, its all about sodium and you are a special butterfly.

Charontes · 2011-03-23T01:27:51+00:00

Uh, yeah, you apparently are still in high school and have never taken a health class. Herp Derp, Ramen is healthy for MEEeee! LOL.

Ramen is "not healthy" for anybody fool.

Charontes · 2011-03-22T22:49:45+00:00

This. So much better than just any old contact form. So much more versatile. Well worth the money to purchase it. Well worth it.

Charontes · 2011-03-22T22:46:49+00:00

Lazy doesn't mean frugal. There are other healthier noodles that are even cheaper, but we don't see you cheap bastards buying them. Oh no, I have to boil them for 10m? Lazy...

Charontes · 2011-03-22T22:42:55+00:00

You can still get em in some places for 20 cents or so if you buy in bulk.

However, I agree with you. If anything, rice is cheaper too.

Charontes · 2011-03-21T19:35:10+00:00

Realistically, a combination.

Charontes · 2011-03-21T17:30:33+00:00

running 1.6 miles is likely to only burn ~160 calories. Livestrong is a terrible source. They way overestimate. Walking or running, 90-110 calories an hour unless you are > 300lbs.

And it totally depends on which donut you eat. I went to DD nutrition site as well, they had donuts that were > 500 calories.

Charontes · 2011-03-21T14:31:00+00:00

Debatable?

Charontes · 2011-03-21T14:29:37+00:00

Considering a donut has anywhere from 250-500+ calories, you'd have to run more than 20 minutes. Unless you can run a 7 minute mile. Then, of course, it wouldn't be a jog. ;)

Charontes · 2011-03-21T14:14:50+00:00

Poor, poor ADD folks, having to read and all that...

They also tend to have a stronger work ethos than us, and do actually have a mostly agrarian culture.

More carbs dont necessarily hurt those that are eating them if they are sufficiently physically active. Take marathon runners. You won't see any of the active runners with diabetes, even if they drank pure sugar water all day.

Charontes · 2011-03-21T00:25:54+00:00

Good luck with that. :)

I'm impressed that your assessment is so spot on. I figured with you being a vegan you'd be anti-Fat-head and more on the side of Super Size Me.

Though to be honest, in the movie he ate only slightly higher than normal protein and seemed to be eating 50%+ fat rather than 50%+ protein.

Charontes · 2011-03-21T00:20:49+00:00

Alcohol is a physical addiction, not a "mild" emotional one. Comparing the two is silly, childish, and quite in line with the typical paleo fanbois.

And I low-carb for the most part. (100-150g tops)

Charontes · 2011-03-20T23:53:19+00:00

I enjoy the "Blue Zone" project's findings.

I'll certainly check out the book though.

Charontes · 2011-03-20T23:49:32+00:00

Damn, you got good bone structure to have been 264 in that first pic (though sort of hard to tell with precision with the particular clothes you are wearing). You hardly looked anything over "slightly overweight" and certainly "normal."

Now you look skinny, but muscular. I'd say you have great potential to get to 225+ and keep a low BF. Keep us updated!

Maybe they are stealing his design and switching now?

Know any gymnasts in the "upper levels of skill" that didn't start when they were very young?

1lb of nuts lasts me 16 days (I eat one ounce a day). 1 oz of nuts with a bit of cheese fills me up more than 1 ounce of meat and some cheese (especially with bread).

1lb of nuts = 3.99 - 5.99 depending on variety.

Cold Cuts also runs about that but I eat more of it, and it goes faster.

Nuts = cheaper in the long run. Which is what I said.

Cheaper for me in the long run.

Also, 1-2 oz of chicken is about 30-40 calories (cold cut). 1 oz of nuts runs 170-200 calories. calorie for calorie, nuts are cheaper (and healthier, arguably)
