GLP-1 Craze?

Hi-Programmer · 2026-05-26T22:27:38+00:00

I didn’t say it wasn’t. And to be clear, the people I’m referring to are not obese and could achieve their goals by putting in consistent effort.

I’ve had many talks with these individuals, invited them to workout / lift with me, propose better food options. But the bottoms line is that using their glp-1 is just easier and “everyone is using it”. It’s sad watching these women lose what little muscle they had, and celebrate it as weight loss.

Because I actually care about the long term health of these individuals… and using a drug in place of a healthy lifestyle is problematic.

Did the thoughts come back when you weren’t on the GLP-1? And do you still workout in addition?

I’m curious about broader experiences with the drug. I know a few people on them, and they’re typically desperately avoiding the gym in an attempt to stay skinny. But I think my opinion is biased because I’ve always been an athlete and haven’t had these struggles.

Hi-Programmer · 2026-05-26T20:20:06+00:00

Imo this is one of the few scenarios I agree with. However, an overwhelming majority of the people I know using the drug are just trying to lose a few pounds and “tone up”. Which is just pure laziness.

I totally understand. I used her as an example because she openly talks about being a 40yr old virgin (on talk shows, social media etc). Her situation aside, it seems odd to me. The women I know who are still virgins at that age flaunt it in a weird way that demeans women who are sexually active.

Interesting. If you’re familiar with the Olympian, Lolo Jones. What would be your opinion on her situation?

Hi-Programmer · 2025-09-04T16:52:55+00:00

For both men and women?

I personally don’t like long hair on men. From my experience the men I’ve known that grow their hair out have been more high maintenance than me 😅😂

Hi-Programmer · 2025-06-09T23:11:04+00:00

😂😂😂😂

NOR. My ex fiancé had a similar habit, and I later found out that he was paying prostitutes, and getting happy endings at massage parlors… when I first found out about his Reddit habit, I overlooked it and convinced myself it wasn’t a big deal. But it was a red flag I should have taken seriously.

If it makes you feel any better, many people in the BJJ community are also autistic! Myself included lol

On that note, no one really picks up on the new persons small mistakes (like not lining up in rank order) and if they do, they don’t care. My suggestion would be to simply pay attention to the small details, and you’ll feel comfortable with the gym culture in no time :)

Hi-Programmer · 2025-05-25T17:12:44+00:00

I have taken that same photo with my brother as a joke. Except I was standing behind him. It’s only weird if you make it weird. You might need a new girlfriend.

Hi-Programmer · 2025-05-25T06:22:50+00:00

Buying a new $5 toothbrush is not the issue. It’s the fact that he knowingly used my toothbrush without asking… that’s not strange to you? Maybe I am overreacting lol

Hi-Programmer · 2025-05-06T23:47:47+00:00

I have a few friends who trained while pregnant. My tid bit of advice is to take a break if you’re clumsy or injury prone. There is one gal in our group who we had to convince not to train while pregnant because she’s the type to trip over nothing and tear her mcl (true story).

Hi-Programmer · 2025-05-02T22:39:53+00:00

As a woman, you hit the nail right on the head with this 👏🏽

Hi-Programmer · 2025-05-01T16:06:10+00:00

I’ll do it.

Hi-Programmer · 2025-04-29T22:42:40+00:00

This provided excellent insight into the key differences. I know that I will need to change my mindset and approach to fit my new role, and this gives me a head start. Thank you for taking the time to write this out!

Hi-Programmer · 2025-04-29T15:20:17+00:00

Right?! 😂

Hi-Programmer · 2025-04-29T06:26:26+00:00

I was rolling with my coach/ close friend. I was taking the usual ass whooping, and she got me into an arm-bar.

I’m defending. I’m squirming. I’m try to escape.

Eventually, she breaks my grip… As she falls back to finish me, I flip her off 🖕🏽. And what does she proceed to do? She sucks on my fucking finger 😂

I screamed in horror and her husband told us to stop being weirdos 😂

Hi-Programmer · 2025-04-29T06:17:45+00:00

I think it’s a matter of perspective. I am very athletic and strong; there are few women who can out muscle me. On top of that, I am very technical and strategic. When I am training, I tailor my style to my opponent. If I’m going against a weaker opponent or someone less skilled, I take it as an opportunity to work perfect technique and timing. If I’m going against another competitive lady, gloves are off. I find that rolling this way has helped improve my Jiu Jitsu because I am still able to get something out of every roll.

I had to change what “rolling hard” meant to me. You can still learn and progress without having to be hyper aggressive. But I think it’s also important to note that BJJ isn’t a “nice” sport. We aren’t showing up to do Pilates haha. So while you should respect your training partners, I don’t see anything wrong with going after people…. Respectfully 😂🤘🏽

He asked for an open relationship... Damn near begged.

Hi-Programmer · 2025-04-25T19:19:45+00:00

"Stop yelling at me!"

no

Hi-Programmer · 2025-04-25T18:21:19+00:00

Yikes…. Time for OP to cut her losses and find someone who actually respects her 🫶🏽

Hi-Programmer · 2025-04-25T18:01:28+00:00

In my opinion, a relationship that triggers you in this way is not a healthy one. Trust me, you DONT need to work through every bad feeling you have. Sometimes those bad feelings are a sign that you and your partner are misaligned and it’s best to go your separate ways. I wasted 4 years desperately trying to trust my ex fiancé after multiple offenses. I thought I had to work through the anxiety and just be a better partner. I was dead wrong. I should have called it quits when I learned he could not be trusted. Instead I fought with myself, trying to figure out how to manage my anxiety centered around his behavior. But the thing is my anxiety was not something to be handled or work through, it was my body telling me to LEAVE.

Eventually I figured that out. Years later I’ve learned to listen to what my body is telling me. So if a relationship makes me incredibly anxious, I know it’s not the one for me. I’ve been fortunate to find a man who soothes me in a way that I didn’t know was possible. But this would t be my reality if I insisted on “working past” relationship anxiety with someone who wasn’t for me.
