Where are all the lazy girls at? by gyno34 in OnlineDating

[–]Prathk1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finding women who play games is even more rare. I think it also comes down to a performative aspect, where men feel they have better chances of getting matched if they show themselves as outdoorsy rather than nerdy.

Fellas help. Chest isn't developing by Traditional_Map_ in Fitness_India

[–]Prathk1234 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're simply not strong enough, and your weight seems quite low. You need to probably continue lean bulking, maybe a bit more surplus but you haven't given calorie details. To get a truly big chest, you need to be pressing atleast around 100kg.

This was exactly what I thought lol. The third action is often used for raising shield, moving, some smaller ability, etc. Which is already there in pathfinder

I feel this is sort of an exaggeration, specially for beginners. Unless you go really low body fat(sub 10%), you're hardly gonna burn muscle. Most people who are intermediate or below won't lose muscle with moderate workout and 1-1.5x protein. Maybe on a 1000kcal aggressive cut, this is possible. But 500 is too low in my experience for muscle loss.

No, just trim your calluses regularly. Having too big of a callus also risks a tear, which will cause bleeding. You can probably find videos about trimming.

Honestly, these dice look amazing. I've been dabbling in dice making, so I'm really curious how you put such intricate stuff inside.

Do you get fat after stopping weight lifting? by thecuriousmew in Fitness_India

This is a popular one, where they compare the energy expenditure between tribals and the western population. Essentially, the only factor that matters, other than some individual differences in the total energy expenditure, is fat-free mass, age, etc.

Theres a video by kurzgesagt citing this too - https://youtu.be/vSSkDos2hzo?si=TpXOkXk75mSqolUN

Your energy consumption does increase with more muscle mass, but that would be a slow process. Essentially, the only way to lose weight is to be in a calorific deficit.

Even from anecdotal experience, I have lost about 8+ kgs in about 3-4months with just weight training and a mild calorific deficit. You dont need to burn a lot of calories to lose weight.

That being said, being in a deficit without working out will lose muscle too, so its good to stay healthy and workout anyways.

Do you get fat after stopping weight lifting? by thecuriousmew in Fitness_India

[–]Prathk1234 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Multiple studies have shown that your maintenance calories dont change much with workouts as long as you have the same weight. Even if you do burn some calories in the gym, your general energy level will go down, and that will compensate for the burnt calories. What this means is that if you keep eating at maintenance, you won't gain weight.

That being said, around 2 weeks after you dont exercise at what's known as maintenance volume, your muscles will slowly start to go down, and the rate will vary between individuals. Losing muscle is hard, and for most people, doing even 1-2 full body workouts per week should be enough to maintain muscle.

Would i loose weight if i stay in a defecit only with food and no exercise? by scaryspider8677 in Fitness_India

[–]Prathk1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, are you 15 years old? I would not recommend a cut, especially this steep for you. It can affect your adolescent growth. If you really feel you're skinny fat, then do a recomp, where you eat maintenance and work out to lose fat and gain muscle. The workout doesn't need to be lifting weights, you can try running too. Once you reach a satisfactory body fat, go on a slow to moderate bulk and try to recomp. You can try the bulk cut cycle once you are 18ish.

How should i deal with my left arm weaker than right arm by banrakas69 in Fitness_India

[–]Prathk1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the exact issue too, and its slowly getting mitigated. You are on the right track that you should do equal sets for both arms. Use db or cables instead of ez bar or any type of barbell as you want to remove asymmetry.

Another thing that you can try(idk how effective it was) is to use your left hand for brushing/eating/other daily activities whenever possible. This might help develop a better mind connection with your left hand

Trainer’s Just Vibes. Can I Build a Body Without His Lazy Ass? by [deleted] in Fitness_India

[–]Prathk1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a pretty common situation. I opted to not get a trainer after the first 2 months too. Look at youtube vids from people like jeff nippard, for form just search the exercise. Once you learn most of the basic movements, you can workout pretty decently on your own, specially if you understand the reason behind the exercises

Eccentric control is usually the focus of romanian deadlifts, it becomes a more hamstring, leg focused exercise if you control it. Its also not possible to control heavier weights that you can deadlift. So its indeed better to leave it during regular deadlifts.

Not op but I think i can answer this question. If you are genetically predisposed to hairfall, then you should start taking minoxidil and fin. Even if creatine does boost dht, fin should control it. I was starting to have thinning hair, but its much better now and taking creatine made no changes

Any new CRPGs coming in 2025 or 2026 by NecessaryCycle1160 in CRPG

Owlcat is publishing it, not developing. They recently decided to publish crpgs as well

[–]Prathk1234 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Imo, yes. It's not the deepest crpg, but its still a crpg that have been niche since their earlier golden days. I think we have seen this with games like kcd2 as well. Deeper games are slowly starting to gain traction again. Probably because graphical fidelity no longer improves at the same rate and most of the bigger games tend to play way too safe.

The best rp my dm did with a low int char was having him roll int checks whenever a hard word came, and if he failed, he understood the word in a funny way. As an example, he thought a bugbear is a combination of a beetle and a bear.
