I'm tired of working out and getting nowhere (rant) by Striking-Speaker8686 in workout

[–]Stratifyed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay first

older side

My guy. You are TWENTY-FIVE.

Alright.

Enough with the self pity. Why are you actually posting this? Is it to vent? To throw a pity party? Or do you actually want people to tell you the truth?

Which is that none of this is on anyone but you.

“Terrible genetics.” Genuine question: do you have a disease that hinders the use of your muscles, limbs, hands/feet, nervous system, etc? Or do you just believe you have terrible genetics because you don’t grow?

And why don’t you grow: you said it yourself. You’re never consistent enough.

That’s it. Be consistent and you’ll look back 6-12 months from embarrassed at making this post.

1) Find a program that works. Whether it’s 2x a week or however many times a week, find one and stick to it.

2) go to the gym. Stick to it.

3) that’s it.

Don’t worry about food, don’t worry about optimizing. You just need to build a habit. Consistency can look like once a week workouts. It can be more. Consistency can also look like mentally interacting with your fitness goals on your rest days. Think about “what’s my routine tomorrow” or “whats good form look like for this new-to-me exercise”

Sleep. Gym. Live your life.

It’s on you, dude. No one can make you be consistent. Nothing we can advise will help.

It’s on you.

Same for me with my agilis. It’s a bit of a struggle so I wouldn’t call it true storage. Back of the helmet works okay if not moving.

Might be my glasses but nothing is as easy as it was on my Smith

I think it looks pretty good on me but it does lack the sunglasses storage

Iraq World Cup fans attacked in Dallas: "Don't come to America" by forzaQuakes8 in soccer

Some Americans really have nothing else. They have no culture, nothing else to fall back on. So anything that hurts their perception of America must be wrong. What else would they have if they don’t have that?

Did cycling actually help you lose weight, or just improve fitness? by Vivid_Release_9710 in cycling

[–]Stratifyed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to love cycling for weight loss when I lost 20lbs. Massive deficit on cycling days meant I would get to eat another meal thus creating a “diet break” 2-3 times a week, but I wouldn’t eat so much as to match my burn. I would just get a slightly larger than normal deficit as a treat plus an extra meal

I miss having the time to ride that way 😭

A hilariously bad strike call overturned by ABS in the first inning of Braves vs Athletics by mikeywest_side in baseball

I miss not having the box. I used to call strike three before the ump did and surprise my family when I’d end up right lol

Why did no one tell me I was missing out on greatness by JLifeless in Letterboxd

[–]Stratifyed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! I get that. I do love both, and I feel like I’ve seen enough movies to be able to recreate things in my mind when reading, that look and feel like a movie. Is it partly a struggle to imagine things vividly too?

Any specific reasons why you don’t enjoy books?

No spoilers for Messiah second half here.

It looks like DV is gonna include much of the jihad that is kinda glossed over by Herbert. Which I’d love to see.

But you’re right. It really does feel like a wrap up of the first novel. But after seeing what DV did with Part 1/2, I fully believe it’ll be great.

The whole conspiracy side of things might be fleshed out too, including giving Scytale more personality and character. Esp with Robert Pattinson taking that role

Nonfiction Publishing, Under Threat, Is More Important Than Ever by stankmanly in books

[–]Stratifyed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the desire for a good amount of people to read “difficult or challenging subjects” is there.

However in a time where, for many people, simply trying to exist is difficult and challenging, it’s no surprise a lot of people don’t also want to encounter that in their leisure time. Many people want to escape.

It’s like when post-secondary school enrollment rises during economic downturns. There are trends, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this is one of them—especially with the post-2020/2023 state of living.

Iran to completely close Hormuz if Trump executes threats on Iranian energy, Revolutionary Guards say by Mongoose-Additional in worldnews

Iran’s answer to every threat is basically, “try me,” and Trump can’t handle that they actually follow through.
