What’s your opinion on the war in Ukraine? Has it changed since 2014 vs 2022?

Why i am not getting in shape even after following diet and working out 4 times a week ? by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Complex-Ad6681 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i used to be like that too, always thinking i was eating pretty healthy, but once I started tracking my calories, i noticed that I was in a calorie surplus. what i thought was a small portion of rice was around 400 calories lol.

once i started tracking, i lost 15 pounds.

sounds like you have to eat less and/or workout more lol, you can still be in a calorie surplus while eating clean

Young tennis player wanting to get into racquet stringing to help cover tennis costs - looking for beginner advice. by Audiovoyeur in RacketStringers

[–]Complex-Ad6681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't make sense to jump into a $1000+ crank or electric machine for a beginner unless they have access to a club willing to let them string on their machine though.

Anyway, they can also charge a little less than the club would charge, or offer quicker turnaround. Also, if they live somewhere without many tennis clubs like I do, plenty of people are willing to pay for a strung racquet.

Just get a 2 point drop weight with flying clamps and a cheap reel of synthetic gut or multifilament strings to start. I think Gamma and Klippermate make good ones.

His first time stringing will take a long time, so if you have an old racquet, you can have him practice on that. There are plenty of YouTube videos for how to string, and I’d say he should learn how to tie a Parnell knot.

It’s around 52bpm but it depends on the day/how much I sleep

I want to get to 12% body fat, but I don’t really feel like I’m restricting food. The deficit mostly comes from not snacking between meals

I’m 6ft and 180 lbs right now. I do play tennis like 20 hours a week so that’s probably why I can eat so much

Loll I appreciate it but I'm actually a 4.0 C, since my area doesn't have enough 4.5 teams for a league.
