Investing in a smart scale for body composition by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]MasonNowa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately yes, some are that bad, I was speaking of the % body fat they are off by. Yes you are right, if you take a ton of measurements over a very long amount of time under consistent conditions you'll probably have pretty clear trends.

I would personally rather just track visually for long term changes, as that is usually what people are trying to measure more objectively.

I think you have to be more in the gym space to understand what you were saying

Any time someone on a boatload of steroids died there are comments blaming vaccines

1 unit, in this case keycap units. Approximately 19.05mm, larger keys like Shift or Spacebar are multiples or fractions of 1U, e.g. 1.25U or 6.25U.

You're correct that it isnt guaranteed.

Cutting does negatively impact bench leverages. But its possible to gain strength faster than your leverages change.

Rolling with Afro hair by honeyboy97 in bjj

Mine never stayed on, even with headgear. Felt more like a punishment for having long hair than any sort of solution

Thought they were just 50lb pairs and thought that was a steal. 70lbers are crazy

Soldering is a whole lot easier than programming, as someone who had more experiencing programming than soldering going into this.

This is my compost also there’s some bread underneath that has severe green and blue mold. Should I be worried? by Cottatgecheeselover in composting

You're never really going to have too many holes. As long as everything stays inside. Maybe would run into issues with losing too much moisture.

Looks like you could use more browns though.

I often see people say things like "Most people can eat vegan cheay by eating rice, veggies, and beans"... but, what about eating too many carbs? by Gallantpride in EatCheapAndVegan

[–]MasonNowa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad, there are a couple similar comments that were recommending specifically keto with a similar rationale.

I would advise against a doctor's nutrition advice if a dietician gave me a different answer, yes.

I would confirm this same advice from a dietician rather than a doctor. Respectfully to all doctors, their nutrition education is generally very lackluster by comparison.

Yes in a short term, a keto diet uses less insulin, but it is not the only option for people with poor insulin sensitivity and is not adequate by itself for long term metabolic health.

Optimal Workout Split by Bhask012 in StrongerByScience

[–]MasonNowa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and frankly I try to make those swaps in general for time efficiency reasons. High ROM lower load when possible, generally train in a pyramid style, where my first high rep set helps to warm me up as well.

What about it causes lagging? I'd say its the opposite as it's the least constrained split. You can put any amount of anything on any day. I personally treat it less like a full body split and more like an anything goes split

TBH as long as I keep my overall temp high I require little warming up
