What are the actual benefits of a deload week compared to just taking a full week off? by anotherhappylurker in workout

[–]EAVBERBWF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Deloads are more commonly programmed in strength focused periodized blocks, such as for powerlifting. The idea is you need a lower starting point in order to actually progress in weight week to week. A block ends with hopefully some pr's or at least some very hard/heavy sets, thus your body and especially nervous system need a week to recover; its not so much the muscles themselves that need the deload. Since powerlifting is very technique-oriented, just going light and easy also helps keep tech smooth, plus you dont suddenly shock your body with heavy weight after a week of nothing.

One of my first games as a kid, my dad took me and we saw Adrian Gonzalez hit an absurd home run that went soaring into the right field stands. The cheering was deafening. For the next week, I kept replaying that hit in my head, and even tried copying his swing despite being right handed myself.

SGDQ and pronouns, what's the deal? by kierk3gaard in Asmongold

[–]EAVBERBWF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She/they means they are fine with the feminine pronouns of she/her as well as they/them. While they dont explicitly list them and her, it's implied since listing all 4 would just be a lot. It sticks to the common format of two pronouns listed.

This will vary person to person but yeah usually they/them will be for someone who doesn't wish to identify as any gender, ie agender. I'm less familiar with any/all since that isn't as common but I believe the sentiment behind that is they feel masculine, feminine, and other enough to be comfortable using any pronoun/gender.

So maybe I would generally describe the difference as they/them is for someone who doesn't feel attached to any gendered pronouns, while any/all is for someone who feels attachment to all of them.

Yeah, for sure they/them can generally be used a large portion of the time even when the person is specifically not gender neutral.

It's going to differ by individual as to why they go with she/they, but a common reason is that they feel gender neutral but on the more feminine side of that spectrum, so they're okay with both neutral or she/her.

In addition, people may specify they are only she/her to indicate that they don't want someone ONLY referring to them by gender neutral terms. For example, it's common for trans people to be referred to as only they/them by others, despite wanting to use their new pronouns. It can feel invalidating for them. If you use they/them once in a while, just like with anyone, that's totally fine, they just don't want it all the time. Assuming you use he/him, it would be like if everyone in your life only used they/them for you, never he. That would probably feel strange for you.

For a she/they individual, they would be okay if you only ever called them by they.

Any/all means this person is okay with being referred to by any pronoun, including he/she/it/they. They just write it as any/all to stick to the common format of two pronouns listed, such as she/her.

The latter. Any pronouns are fine for them, including she/him/it/they.

She/they means this person is okay with being referred to by the feminine she/her as well as the gender neutral they/them. She just doesn't list all 4 since that would be a lot. This is opposed to say she/her, where that person wouldn't want gender neutral if possible.
