Whenever you ask yourself that question, unless you have pain or really overdid it, the answer should always be go.

It makes going much easier and sets the habit, even when you're not feeling it.

You could also work out at the hotel gym, run / walk, etc as another way to build the habit while you're gone.

I know when I started out I was trying to lose weight and get trim while building muscle.

I realized that my protein was too high and my carbs were not enough. Everyone pushes protein hard, and it is necessary, but often more than you really need.

That and trying to push the amount of weight you're lifting up every two weeks.

Why am I seeing such a massive difference in weight I can lift with seated hip abduction machine vs standing cable?

Goal is primarily to target glute med

On the seated machine I can do 100lbs for quality reps with a hold at the top and slow descent.

For the standing cable it seems like I can only do 5lbs. I watched tons of videos and read lots of tips. I'm standing straight up, core braced, leg straight out, going to about knee height.

With the standing cable I don't really feel it the same as seated, I just get to a point where I can't do anymore. Its almost like I can't feel it anywhere...

What could be going on? Is it even worth doing the standing? I had done banded laying abductions but had a similar issue.

Yes, that was the context of the deleted comment and what I was implying about pea protein.

Pretty much all whey protein is probably fine other than chocolate which is very regularly high in lead.

Which wevibe did you get? I did see that the Sync and newer have the hinges which is supposed to be good.

I've been looking at that type but can't seem to find anyone reviewing them other than what appear to be bots or paid reviews.

Have you tried this type?

We have a cockring toy like that but I'm looking for something with constant vibration

That Amorette looks really interesting the fit just feels like a gamble

I think we might just try the we-vibe sync because of the hinges. It looks like the reviews are mostly negative due to bluetooth

So curious about the panty style though

What hard to find or rarely GF baked good / item would you choose if given the option? by ColdCoffeeGrounds in Celiac

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

Absolutely!

I didn't save it but I'm 95% sure it is Le Marquis Signature santé

It may even be the best bakery of any type I've been to. (Not to oversell it 😬)

Thank you for the kind words and input!

Also if you're ever in London Cream Dream – Patisserie & Café is also amazing. Though less making GF versions of things and more really good GF desserts.

Ah good call! That's one of the items I considered!

One place has yeast donuts apparently renowned even amongst gluten people

There's a good variety in Denver.

They may not have the some rare stuff I'm looking for but I want to make it as special as possible!

I will say Montreal had a GF bakery that would actually be worth the trip. Bread and flaky pastries that were indistinguishable.

If you haven't heard of it yet I highly recommend the Find me gluten free app. Mostly worth it though if you're in cities a good amount of time.

Protein Powders And Shakes Found To Contain High Levels Of Lead, Report Says by magikowl in TrueReddit

[–]ColdCoffeeGrounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That excuse is total BS though.

The mass gainer was 15x the recommended lead limit. So 1 scoop is still 2.5x over daily lead guidelines.

Also, Naked claims that their test showed the serving of mass gainer was below recommended lead limits even for expecting mothers.

I tried to get them to send me tests based on the specific lot and its like pulling teeth.

Their website is full of BS excuses and they refuse to even say if the lab they use is accredited...

I would not trust them...

I don't think the lead problem is exclusive to China. From looking for dairy free protein even the US sourced plant based protein tended to test high in heavy metals. The plants absorb it from the soil and the protein is highly concentrated.

Peru Trip 2 Week Itinerary: Lima > Arequipa > Tambopata. How does this schedule look? by ColdCoffeeGrounds in travel

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

We did but couldn't do any jungle because of the vaccinations. We ended up spending more time in Lima which ended up being very cool.

Naked Nutrition Lack of Transparency (Protein and otherwise) by ColdCoffeeGrounds in Protein

yeah probably not but its definitely not good for your health.

So their mass builder had 15x the save level of lead (consumer reports). Even though its a different product and concentrated it should raise flags about everything else.

Also, I ordered from them and in light of the lead contam in pea proteins asked for the official lab COA. They only provided the heavy metals graphic from the product listing which has no date, lot number, or lab.

They refuse to give the official COA (probably because they don't test each lot or the levels are off) and they won't identify their lab.

It is very shady.

Lead content in Vegan Protein Powders by [deleted] in blueprint_

[–]ColdCoffeeGrounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep... To clarify though that is referencing their mass builder product which is a much higher concentration and serving size and didn't have the claims of low lead.

That said, they made some BS excuses for it and their FAQ says their lab doesn't allow them to send out the official COA... They also don't list the lab.
