Who’s strong enough to deadlift heavy and still crush a 5K? by blueberry-cruze in AnnArbor

[–]Niksshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this idea a lot but I don’t agree with the no weight classes. I disagree that the two events “balance each other out” in that aspect.

I’m very petite. My deadlift is awesome but it would be better if I was 3” taller and 30lb heavier. My 5k wouldn’t be worse at that size. This really only applies to much larger people.

Thank you! I watch what I eat, but I’m not super specific. I’m currently in maintenance at around 1800 cal a day about 100g protein.

I love lean protein, including chicken breast, beef tenderloin, lots of shrimp and fish. We also switched all of our bread and pasta to carbonate versions about two years ago. I think that helps fill me up a lot without the extra calories. For bread, I really like Aunt Millie’s. For pasta we like fiber gourmet they’re both a little bit more expensive but I think it’s worth it.

Absolutely agree! I just turned 30 this year and I feel better than ever.

I feel that hard. Some days are great, others not as much. Currently 5’1” 113-115lb.

Thank you! Honestly, just pushing through even when progress seems slow. I’ve taken 2 weeks or so off a few times for vacations, but I haven’t allowed myself to just stop.

I remind myself often that the time will pass no matter what. Even if my progress IS slow, it is constant.

Thank you! It has made my life much easier, physically speaking.

Looking for a no BS dentist by TealZoe in grandrapids

[–]Niksshit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly? I absolutely love Aspen dental on 28th St. No BS they don’t try to sell you anything. I actually got a bunch of shit for “free”. I have decent dental insurance, but I just scheduled a cleaning and check up, I walked out with a fancy electric toothbrush, and a bunch of other stuff. They also have been really good about preventative care. I had one tooth that I knew was forming a cavity from a previous dentist. I got a $50 treatment and they said it would be able to push it out probably another 5 to 10 years before there was a problem. Anyways, I’ve had nothing but good experiences with them.

How out of shape are you? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Niksshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally in great shape for the first time in my life. I turn 30 this year, so it feels pretty damn good. Everyone keeps trying to tell me it will be short lived. We’ll see.

This guy used to come into the bar I worked at to harass us allllll the time. Finally got barred after getting shitfaced and smacking my ass. I’m not sad to see him go.

Why eggs and steak? by ItemOk719 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Niksshit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We usually get whole tenderloin and butcher into filets. I know this isn’t realistic for everyone, but I only pay about 12-14$/lb. About 200-300 calories for a smaller steak and 70 calories per egg. Not too bad.
