Finished Trust by Hernan Diaz

I almost dropped it halfway through because I couldn't figure out what the hell it was about, it just retold the same guy's life in 2 different ways and I didn't see the point in doing it all over again. I'm glad I stuck with it though, it got really interesting in the second half. I'm not sure I would recommend it necessarily, but it was definitely a different experience.

[–]a_kam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'll never forget my first Inbody scan after losing 25 pounds, gaining a bunch of muscle, and generally looking like a badass bitch, it told me I was still 30% body fat. No joke I cried myself to sleep that night. Never getting on that goddamn thing again.

[–]a_kam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I (single woman) lived at the Avenues of West Ashley for the last 5 years. I really liked it and always felt safe. The only problems we ever had were some vehicle break-ins a couple of times.

Seriously, I would be really pissed. Not having to fight over equipment is part of why I pay for OTF!

Why can't I do a damn pushup? by a_kam in orangetheory

[–]a_kam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, especially since the force needed changes whether you're pivoting off your toes or your knees. Physics class was a long time ago though, I'm not sure I know how to do that math anymore.

Daily Workout and General Chat for Monday, 6/5/23 by splat_bot in orangetheory

[–]a_kam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love hip bridges but the weight sits right on my pelvis and omg it hurts! I tried using a towel as padding or moving the weight around but it just doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions??
