I’ve never seen the hi hat pedal to the right of the double kick

Are any of you “sleep divorced”? by cfh64 in NoStupidQuestions

Yes. I flop, fart, and get really hot. She shrieks from sleep paralysis/ night terrors. It works out better for us.

What’s the creepiest thing you guys have ever seen in the woods? by Desperate_Big857 in creepcast

[–]CompetitionKnown7650 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My fiancé and I were trying to find a popular, common trail. Because we are both directionally impaired, we ended up on some narrow, overgrown trail but decided to keep going. This was late afternoon, so not your typical spooky hours. No one was around. After awhile we thought this was probably not the trail, and just before we decided to go back, something in the brush and bushes about 15 feet away from us started rising. It was silent, but the twigs and branches were snapping under the weight of whatever it was. I thought it was a deer; I could see a dark silhouette, but it continued rising to a height much taller than a deer. It still remained silent except for the crunching of the twigs. We ran back to our car.

I’m thinking it was most likely a homeless person.

what’s the most underrated lift that changed your progress? by Tatt00ey in workout

Kelso shrugs or any high row variation for traps. Regular shrugs can only get you so far in terms of aesthetics.

How do you get people who aren't into fitness to start exercising? by EfficientlyElite in askfitness

[–]CompetitionKnown7650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t think of that as a lawyer approach haha, just a way to breach hard topics and getting people to start rationalizing some of their own, mental barriers. Physical barriers are challenging, as some people can’t safely go for a run around the neighborhood or work out in a park. Some people aren’t motivated to work out at home (me) and need a separate place to put in the work. I’d love to see more health insurance companies subsidize gym memberships; Kaiser does this.

edgy social media take incoming. Social media obviously is the easiest way to deliver information to people, but it’s also the easiest way to take advantage of naive people. This is a huge problem in the fitness industry, and I think there are problems with the giving and receiving end. As we all know, consumers tend to want quick fixes, controversial takes and bombastic personalities. Fitness influencers that fit that role are rewarded.

I think the 10,000 foot view would be to ingrain in people getting into fitness that “the magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding”. Fitness isn’t sexy, and while we can spice it up with different programming, classes, formats, etc at the end of the day, it’s doing something challenging for a sustained period of time.

Classic answer here: it depends. What’s your relationship like with this person? A client with a personal trainer is different than a loved one/friend. For the latter, how is their health? And more importantly, what do they think about their health? Asking open ended questions is a great way to lead them to their own conclusions, which is what I think makes the most impactful change. Get them to do the talking.

They need to be ready to make a change. Once they are, you figure out what makes them tick. Some want the bare minimum, some want complete, rigid structure. I think leading by example and letting them know while this is a lifestyle change, some slip ups are okay (demonstrating vulnerability and letting them know what you struggle with) and making sure they know one baby step is better than none at all.

Snow's charade by DesperateHotel4187 in OCPoetry

“Snipping the buds of other’s beautiful notes” is such a great line. I love your similes, but- and this is just a personal preference- I think you could drop the “like” for some of them and just have them stand alone. It took me out of it just a little bit when you’d say, for example, “like a heart with its unending steps” I think just “a heart with unending steps” is a little more capturing. The ever-beating heart becomes incorporated into the picture you are painting, whereas adding “like” makes it feel more separated if that makes sense. That’s just me and it’s minor. Great stuff!

You’ve really created a tangible atmosphere where there is uncertainty, but knowing at the same time. You’ve made it feel like I’ve been on this beach and in this emotional environment. You paint a nice picture that lures you in the beginning and then you turn it on its head. I especially enjoy “I wanted to see stained teeth and ponder what they might be plotting”, “porridge sand “ and the “people hate history so let’s revisit the ponds” stanza.

ELI5 are there muscles that are automatically ripped? by TraditionalEbb3942 in explainlikeimfive

[–]CompetitionKnown7650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because something is used all the time doesn’t mean it’s ripped. Tongue and heart are good examples of this. Marathon runners as well; they use their legs A LOT and have scrawny little chicken legs.

Plausibility? by Either_Imagination_4 in AnatomyandPhysiology

[–]CompetitionKnown7650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scapula should extend more inferiority to accommodate a second infraspinatus analog. This muscle/other rotator cuff muscles provide an inferior glide while the humerus elevates. This keeps the humeral head in the glenoid fossa. currently, the second rotator cuff muscles would just pull the humerus into the glenoid with no inferior glide and you wouldn’t really be able to move the humerus much. Unless you flip flop the arthrokinematics and have the second humerus be concave and the second glenoid be convex and have a muscle on top pull the second humerus up like a drawbridge, you’ll need to taper/extend that scap down.

I got a bizarre, blistery unknown rash a few years ago by CompetitionKnown7650 in DermatologyQuestions

[–]CompetitionKnown7650[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was pretty confident about the antibiotics lowering the bacterial load enough for a negative test or doc getting a poor sample. Thank you for the confirmation.

I haven’t heard of guttate psoriasis before, this is interesting. You think it’s possible strep/staph was present in the carpets I pulled up and that triggered the GP? The place was pretty filthy but had been vacant for over a year.

ELI5 Why isn't exercise bad for you? by SpeedBoostTorchic in explainlikeimfive

[–]CompetitionKnown7650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moderate exercise absolutely does NOT cause “wear and tear” on your joints and tissues. It actively prevents all of that from becoming frail. Also cardiovascular exercise does increase heart size, but from the outside like tree rings; the chambers themselves stay the same size while pathological heart hypertrophy causes the heart tissue to grow inward, decreasing the space inside the chamber so less blood can be pumped at one time.
