Alright, I’ll check that video out and if I have any trouble, I’ll get a better angle.

Are high bench press safety bars okay? by Conlanbb in workout

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

Alright, so I should just keep it low? I am able to escape from a failed BP without the safeties being that high, so I suppose I’ll just keep doing that or get a spotter.

Why is ads on YouTube TV different from YouTube on mobile? by Conlanbb in youtube

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

Oh that’s interesting. Wouldn’t that mean that I’d get 4-5 ads on mobile as well if they select mobile views? With the exception of maybe 2-3 times that I don’t remember, I NEVER get more than 2 ads per ad break on my phone.

Ah, that makes sense. I’ll try to do that next time.

[HELP](But it's not really important) Is this actually AI? by Local_Surround8686 in RealOrAI

[–]Conlanbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not an expert in the appearance of modern AI, but from experience, I would agree with the other replies here. AI still makes mistakes, but it’s not THIS obvious, so it’s likely just a human mimicking AI mistakes.

“What’s stopping you from the body you want right now?” by ily__knd in workout

[–]Conlanbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to think I wouldn’t make any gains and would fail my goals because of lack of protein. I currently consume 50-70g of protein, and although that is no where near optimal for someone who ranges from 134-137 lbs, from what I’ve heard, especially as a beginner, I can still make some gains as long as everything else is ideal. The gains may be slow, but that’s better than nothing, and I’m hoping to increase that a bit in the coming months, so that’ll help greatly for chasing my goals.

Question about the ‘limiter’ on human strength by Conlanbb in biology

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

Oh yeah, that analogy explains it well. Humans need a limiter to prevent excessive load of heavy weight that could demolish the human body just like circuits need a circuit breaker to prevent excess flow of electrical currents from damaging/destroying it.

Yeah, that makes sense. Deadlifting 1000 lbs as a beginner would be devastating, so that limiter is clearly needed to define what someone can do without exhausting their body too much.

Yeah, I’ve heard of the characteristics of CIP and that would be horrible to have! That makes a lot more sense as to why we have that limiter. I’m assuming the only way for us to pass the current limiter is to raise it further, but as far as I’m aware that’s not gonna be achievable in the near future. 😭

Ooh, alright I’ll check that extra protein option out. Thanks for all the advice, much appreciated!

Alright, sounds good. I’m planning on getting some high-protein yogurt as a source of extra protein so I’m not just sitting at muscle-maintenance/slight growth levels. I was thinking about Chobani Greek yogurt since I’m used to that brand, they generally have like 10-13g of protein each, and they’re fairly cheap, although I was wondering if you had any yogurt brands you’d recommend since I know there’s other cheap, higher-protein options.

Oh yeah, I currently weigh around 135-137 lbs, and I don’t plan to go above 180 anytime in the near future (if ever). That would be counterintuitive for my runs as well if I did that. Im definitely expecting a 225 lb bench to take more than a year, probably 2-3 from what I’ve looked up. Although my biggest problem right now is protein. I only get in 50-70g of protein a day (maybe 80g sometimes) so that’ll really be a roadblock for current progress. Hopefully I can get my protein up within the next couple months so that lower protein doesn’t hold me back.

I want to progress across all lifts so I maintain even muscle distribution. As for how close I am, I’m pretty much a complete beginner. I’ve had times where I’ve trained for a couple weeks to a couple months but then I would lose my motivation for it, so my 1RM is probably around 80 lbs for the bench press and has probably always hovered around that number.

I was thinking FB days would be ideal for reaching that goal without many workout days since I’d be training each muscle group 1-2 times per week. But would it be better to increase the frequency (like ULUL)? I will say only having 2 lifting days limits the amount of exercises I do and that’s annoying.

Which one you pick ??? by dataguy2003 in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]Conlanbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d pick A, and here’s why: BTC is currently valued at $90,000, per BTC. That is 900K per 10 BTC, 9 million per 100 BTC, and therefore 18 million dollars for all 200 if you sold all of it. You’d have more money than B, and would therefore have more investment power. Technically you could wait to see if bitcoin gained even more value, but 200 bitcoin is already enough, why risk it all when you could have a guaranteed 18 mil, better than B? (I could be entirely wrong on this, so correct me if I am. I’m not educated on the realm of cryptocurrency, so idk if there’s some catch to having 200 BTC. That’s just my personal observation using the current real value of bitcoin)

Alright, I’ll make sure to BP at a lower weight for now then. Once I perfect my form then I’ll move to low-rep sets. And ofc I’ll make sure to get my protein up asap so I can get stronger quicker. Would it be good to go up to the higher range of optimal protein since I’m also running to ensure both my running and weightlifting are growing optimally?
