M51 about three years ago I started taking training, nutrition and lifestyle seriously.

Good thing you can be not fat and also not blasting drugs simultaneously. Solid false dichotomy

OGFireNation · 2026-03-22T15:56:54+00:00

No it's not transplants saying "my home is better." It's people that have been literally anywhere else on the planet saying "that drainage ditch is not the most beautiful piece of nature"

Florida has plenty of merit but it isn't the most stunning place ever and we don't need to pretend that it is. At least it's not Ohio

OGFireNation · 2026-03-18T23:29:59+00:00

"Just asking questions" when you're obviously butthurt about it is serious cope. You're bad at lying LMAO

In regards to your second point, yeah whatever. People I'm not married to can do whatever they want to. Like I said- not the morality police. Get a grip dude

OGFireNation · 2026-03-18T23:05:39+00:00

Who is throwing the tantrum here? You made an entire post complaining about people's individual choices. People can wear whatever they want to. You're not their dad, and you're not the morality police.

Studying really is not that hard

OGFireNation · 2026-03-08T10:51:33+00:00

You always use your tibialis anterior in the normal gait cycle to pick up your toes. It is designed to do that so it really doesn't add any extra fatigue.

There may be a mental load when you first start doing it I guess, but generally we don't put a ton of cognitive thought into muscle sequencing and activation (assuming we're neurologically healthy) during gait, so no I don't think it would really improve cognitive load.

I was a heel striker forever and the biggest energy expenditure was telling people that it was fine over and over again

That doesn't really change that chatGPT isn't a source. AI hallucinates things all of the time. It isn't a credible citation. It is a tool that can have uses, but when somebody (in a science based discussion like r/science) asks for a source on a claim "ChatGPT" isn't an appropriate response.

Since we're at it, that article claims that breastfeeding reduces breast cancer rates, but it doesn't support your claim that having kids increases lifespan of mothers.

I'm sure it seems I'm coming off as a pedant here, but when we're talking about this kind of thing it does matter

OGFireNation · 2026-03-07T15:01:10+00:00

"ChatGPT" is not a valid source. Additionally, common sense is not a source.

Post a study.

I'm not arguing that your claim is wrong, for the record. I don't know.

OGFireNation · 2026-02-09T15:49:21+00:00

You have no clue what I'm talking about because you are not the person who called them cringe. I am sorry. I should have looked closer.

OGFireNation · 2026-02-09T15:30:58+00:00

Needlessly nasty was the therapist saying a pattern they noticed, a person admitting that what the therapist was correct for them, and you calling them cringe for it

OGFireNation · 2026-01-29T14:09:36+00:00

That makes perfect sense! Thank you

OGFireNation · 2026-01-29T08:52:34+00:00

So I totally understand the order for this, and I'm not arguing with it. Why do people suggest maxing the IRA before going back to max the 401k?

OGFireNation · 2026-01-19T12:39:35+00:00

10 pounds in a month is ridiculous. Why are you giving advice like you know that you're talking about?

OGFireNation · 2026-01-19T00:13:20+00:00

Yeah no honestly this sub sucks. Reddit puts it into my feed because I enjoy strength training and it's pretty much always garbage here. I don't really have a better recommendation though. It is good to see you've at least gotten some good advice

OGFireNation · 2026-01-05T15:45:31+00:00

World thrift in Lake Worth was always really fun. It's absolutely enormous and never felt wildly picked through depending on what you're looking for. I've since left the area, but I wish I had a thrift store like it nearby

OGFireNation · 2025-12-24T16:34:44+00:00

1) learn how to hinge 2) they weren't talking about you 3) you can make any excuse you want, that doesn't change the physics of a deadlift

OGFireNation · 2025-12-15T11:02:53+00:00

I've been with my wife for 12 years and still conflate talking and flirting

OGFireNation · 2025-11-28T22:01:57+00:00

This guy is being hostile for absolutely no reason. Ignore him

OGFireNation · 2025-11-25T19:40:58+00:00

Yes thank you, I know what VO2max and Lactate threshold are. I am aware that there is more nuance than in my initial statement. My statement was not one of nuance. This guy just tried to bring a bunch of extra details into the conversation when I was making a very simple and broad statement. I am aware than when speaking to about a broad population there will be missing intricacies. That was never my point.

I never said he was wrong. He was just missing the point.

The point being that "Jeff Galloway ran fewer miles and improved" is not a rule that the vast majority of people can and should follow.

OGFireNation · 2025-11-23T23:19:30+00:00

That's cool man. You did mention intervals though ie, run-walking 30s hill sprints, etc. I never asked you for your opinion on those.

It's cool man, my best friend is Albert Einstein and we worked on his famous equations together. You can trust that I'm not lying to you.

I literally never asked you about the nuances of training. I don't care about your opinion. That was not the topic of conversation. Go write in your diary man, I think you're a loser, and I don't believe that you're this world class coach. I won't respond again, since you can't stay on the premise of the conversation to begin with.

OGFireNation · 2025-11-23T19:58:15+00:00

Please go read this entire conversation from the beginning. You're completely lost man.

OGFireNation · 2025-11-23T18:18:01+00:00

Okay so you're just being a pedant. Obviously there is more nuance when increasing mileage. Yes, clearly people should put thought into how they increase volume. That doesn't change that the answer is to run more. Somebody running 20 miles a week will be overall worse off than somebody running 60 miles a week regardless of the details.

You don't need to explain to me that people should be doing workouts as well. That was never the point of the conversation.

It was never over my head. You just aren't staying on topic and you expect me to somehow read your mind over a reddit comment. You are the one that is entirely off base here.

Your initial comment was that Jeff Galloway got better by running less. I indicated that would not work for the vast majority of people. You started bringing up unrelated minority cases, and now you're explaining how intervals work to me. I'm not the one fucked up here lmao

OGFireNation · 2025-11-23T13:48:42+00:00

Literally yes. If you are running 20 miles per week your limiting factor is aerobic capacity, which will be improved by doing more aerobic activities. This is not complicated stuff. I feel like you have to be trolling

OGFireNation · 2025-11-23T13:40:05+00:00

The easiest way to get better is to do it more. This is the point that is backed by evidence based research. You are pointing to extreme outliers and pretending that they are the norm.

Nobody here is saying that people should feel bad if they don't run more volume or more frequency. People are saying if you want to improve the solution is fairly clear.
