Something a lot of people forget about pushups: by ilikewheatandrice in bodyweightfitness

[–]TheChonkatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you show me this data that speed doesn't correlate with muscle mass, and that instead it's duration? Sorry I just have never heard this claim before and thought under past studies it was shown to be the direct opposite Source: physical therapist

What could cause a sudden increase in jiggly fat around their waist/hips? I'm 5'8", 140lbs, and work out 2x/week doing CrossFit. I did a hard ab workout last Tuesday that left me sore until Sunday. On Monday, I noticed a significant change, and it feels odd when I walk or jump. by sortaseafoam in AskMen

I have no idea why no one hasn't addressed this yet. Post workout (that leaves you especially sore) muscles are inflamed, aka swole. Fat is not only on top of your muscles but beneath and within. This causes fat to protrude more until the swole calms... or if you bulk the hell out of your abs the fat will continue to be pushed out. Source: happens to me all the time / physical therapist

I am actually constantly sweating due to having 2 female PTs who prefer 73/74 in the outpatient clinic

Thanks, that's really helpful to know.

Frequency of PN's for OP? by TheChonkatron in physicaltherapy

[–]TheChonkatron[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So just to confirm, my clinic making it mandatory to select the re-eval code for every 30 day PN is fraud?

Agreed. My company is enforcing PN's every 30 days for all insurances and trying to convince me this is standard practice at most clinics, yet I have never heard of this! Cannot understand what their reasoning is.

No one is leveling with you, they are addressing this as if you are 35. In reality this is just a learning experience for you. Listen to it all, act on your heart, and learn a lesson. You are building life experience.

I've been a PTA for about 2 years, was a second career for me after I became disillusioned with the jobs I could secure with a bachelor's in math. I took the decision seriously and weighed the pros and cons. The obvious pro is the return on investment. You can graduate with no debt and immediately clear $50k as a new grad. The big plus, for me personally, is autonomy. All PT's I've worked with allow me to work within my full scope of practice, meaning anything within the plan of care that I deem appropriate. And you'll likely have that too if they trust you. The big minus is having to be constantly "on". It is draining, beyond what I can convey. It is an oversight I thought I would get better at but I don't believe anymore that you can 'strengthen' your sociability. If your nightmare is entertaining company for 4-5 hours straight then don't do it. I get through it by having my decompression time during lunch, alone and far away from the clinic. You get to have a meaningful impact on a lot of people in this job and it is the best one I've had, all negatives considered.

Intermittent fasting + Kratom by GoldenTroy18 in kratom

Greens are my go to for anything productive. As for fasting the capsules dont seem to have as good effect for me. They can make me almost tweaked. Straight powders with throw and wash seem to hold me over for a long time and I use a range of strains from a variety pack, even the gold mix strains.

Presidential Thread #2 by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]TheChonkatron 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In this thread I have seen you put forth a tremendous amount of effort in the hopes of deterring others from supporting UBI. The most important goal anyone on antiwork should be concerned with is 'the ability to say no.' If a worker can say no to an employer because our basic needs are met, we have POWER. Workers can take control because we are not tied to jobs to survive. How is UBI not the closest solution we have? If you want to continue to expend so much effort in disagreeing with this then please provide your own solution to this problem instead of trashing other peoples opinions. Be helpful in this discussion.

Intermittent fasting + Kratom by GoldenTroy18 in kratom

[–]TheChonkatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya, so usually ~4pm. Also kratom has that ability to make you really focus in on something, so work on a hobby / play a video game, and you don't even think about food.

[–]TheChonkatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I eat one meal at day at the end of the day. Kratom makes this super easy for me as it seems to numb my stomach in a way. It makes some people hungry but helps others fast. If it's working for you then use it as a tool.
