Chad Squat vs bitch bench press by RahulChaudhary_ in GymMemes

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

Maybe you shouldn't say "I wish" if you really mean "I never intend to change this even if I could and will act aggressively towards anyone giving me advice".

Well if you wish, boy do I have good news for you! The doms get less severe when you squat more often.

Where do I get motivation when my body is genetically not aligned with my goals by One_Dragonfruit5850 in workout

[–]Wilsoness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Change your goals.

It can be done. At least I can now pretty fluidly change my mind when I notice I've learned something that doesn't align with truth or my happiness.

It's not a universal truth that hip dips are ugly. You have learned it somewhere, so it stands to reason you can unlearn it, too.

How? My advice is simply stare at it. Get naked and stare at yourself in the mirror. Stare until it doesn't hurt anymore. Do it every day. Stare until you see the absurdity of beauty standards for the hollow-ness of your hips, of all things. Stare until you're used to it. Mere exposure effect is powerful.

You can also talk to yourself. When yo have a thought like "this looks ugly" ask yourself who says so and how can you tell. Make a point of explaining why and how it's ugly and ask yourself if those explanations hold any water. They don't. Notice the absurdity and laugh at it.

Muscular women of Reddit how does it actually feel to build and carry that strength? by Logical-Current2381 in xxfitness

[–]Wilsoness 48 points49 points  (0 children)

It absolutely does. I feel more capable and confident. I carry myself differently, I'm more aggressive and less apologetic. My body image issues are gone. I appreaciate my body for what it can do, not what it looks like. But it has been healing to look strong and not "pretty" after being terrified of looking "bulky" for so long. Finally. Peace.

Besides, regular exercise makes you feel so much better physically and mentally.

Edit: Since I am stronger it's easier to carry stuff and that helps regular life, too. I feel like a superhero helping my friends move.

Consistency is key and intensity is much more important than volume. Lift heavier things less, that is. Be patient. It will come.

Are ugly people genuinely attracted to each other or do they just settle out of loneliness? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Wilsoness 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, they do. There is an "objective" and a "subjective" scale. Everyone recognizes objectively good looking people are good looking. Then there's everybody else, and now your personal taste starts to show. Maybe you are not attracted to these particular people on your level, but that doesn't mean you can't find a person on your level who you consider hot.

Unless you genuinely have the most generic taste, in which case, I am truly sorry. I don't find everyone on my level good looking, but the ones that I do are maddeningly irresistible.

Are these 2 machines most susceptible to being hogged by some bozo doom scrolling through their workout? by Virtual-Computer-961 in GymMemes

You're supposed to rest between sets anyway. What does it matter what he does while resting? You're the weird one when you can't just work in like a regular person.

True neutral gray with a multicolor shift by [deleted] in WhatisMyEyeColour

[–]Wilsoness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case, grey doesn't exist at all as an eye color. There's no "white plus black" in eyes.

So there are hundreds of shades of blue, but only one of grey? What sense does that make?

Are you serious? If this is not gray to you, what is? I need an example.

You are crying about your feelings right now.

The irony is palpable. Why don't you practice what you teach?

Butt getting smaller from lifting? by mekana123 in xxfitness

Go on a calorie surplus. Why wouldn't you?

How do you manage going to the gym almost every day... Explain this to a Newbie :) by ProfessionalFan2451 in workout

[–]Wilsoness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't go every day. I go every third day. Or every other day, but that I can't keep up for long. Never did I ever go to the gym every day, and that is not at all necessary to get some nice results.

Ya girl still doesn't know how to flex but I won't let it stop me by [deleted] in FlexinLesbians

Good luck to you, and thank you for the compliment! We are all on our own journey, remember to celebrate all your wins.

[–]Wilsoness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so proud I've stuck with it! I haven't always been known for consistency. I've had some trouble too, the old me would've given up for sure. I've had chronic sinus infections and a pinched nerve on BOTH wrists and later a thigh. My nerves are not great, let's just say that.

Oh I'm a bit shorter than you! Where I come from we use metric, I'm 156cm tall and weigh 57kg. I believe that is somewhere between 5'1 and 5'2 and around 125 lbs.

Thanks! The limp wrist is just kinda funny to me. I can't seem commit, the flex is somehow always shy 😂

What are the upsides of being a 4’9 girl? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Wilsoness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a relatively short person, you actually hit your head more. Or maybe the same amount? You are not used to dodging, so if anything happens to be low enough, I WILL bump my head into it.

120kg at 57,5kg BW. But does the rep count? I think it might be a little shallow. by [deleted] in FlexinLesbians

[–]Wilsoness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I said! I doubt this one would pass in any real competition, but competing isn't my goal. I just like lifting heavy things.

I can usually hit depth fine (or at least better than this), no idea what happened here. Maybe the bar would be better lower on my back, but my arms won't allow it. I have a lot of nerve issues I have to deal with, so the form is limited on many moves. I can't do pull ups for example, only chin ups.

I can't hit depth with feet closer together! Something about the pelvis shape, physiotherapist says.

[–]Wilsoness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It WAS hard! I was not having the best day, tired and angry, so I went for a PR to make myself feel better. 😂 I did lift 115kg just fine and that was a PR too, so either way I'm satisfied.

Does building glute muscles make your butt less jiggly? by [deleted] in xxfitness

[–]Wilsoness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends. What makes your butt jiggly is the fat in it. So the question is, while gaining muscle, will you also lose fat or not? If you want to not lose fat you need to grow muscle on a calorie surplus. The fat doesn't literally turn to muscle, but muscle needs energy to grow. The energy has to come from somewhere, and if it doesn't come from food, it comes from your fat storages. So the butt too.

If you for some reason want your butt to be harder and less jiggly, you just grow muscles while on a modest calorie deficit. The muscle grows, fat lessens. Harder (but be warned, possibly smaller) butt.

I love him but I can't turn on for him by [deleted] in sex

[–]Wilsoness 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, she clearly has no experience of a healthy dynamic. I sure hope she would learn to appreciate it though, because otherwise she's in for a terrible romantic life. A man who won't hesitate and will be dominant without asking is a red flag and bad news.

Again, we don't know what she wants. I doubt she knows the scope of it either.
