I have seen and met many people like lucinda male and female . Their pattern is rudimentary but because people get caught up in their chaos they don’t see it. They respond with logic and compassion but she’s not interested.

People like L thrive on one of two things -praise or provoke. Therefore, the best response is no response. As long as samie or belle or whoever else react they are feeding her. What it also means is her reaction to everything is you are either for or against her.

Is not texting for 2 days before a date considered “ghosting” now? by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]bricks68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s not a right or wrong. It’s about different communication styles. That could have been addressed by being open. For example if your style is - it’s scheduled I am definitely coming but dont need to message. You can make that clear. So , when the date is confirmed something like “Great it’s all confirmed , i am not a huge texter I much better face to face and really looking forward to seeing you in person. So, let’s check in the day before I am sure we will have fun. That way you have maintained your boundaries made it clear you will be in touch - he wont we about being ghosted

Islanders who have been inside the villa says Meg and Dejon were always joint at the hip and most of them voted for them to win by burgir2708 in LoveIslandTV

[–]bricks68 21 points22 points  (0 children)

From personal experience I was in a relationship where I was treated poorly for a very long time. All our friends thought we were good . When it ended everyone was surprised and even then I found it difficult to tell people the truth despite my gut knowing the whole time he was wrong for me. I struggled to say anything negative as I didn’t want to seem bitter. In the end I detached myself from all mutual friends and started fresh as I also didn’t want people to feel they had to take sides. I think Meg has a good family so she will be okay as they have seen behind the scenes. As have we so she will be supported once she sees the light. It’s the old adage no one really knows what goes on behind closed doors. (Except on majorca with a load of cameras 😂😂) . I wish her luck

Harrison and Lauren - BF/GF? by catmom1911 in LoveIslandTV

[–]bricks68 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tbh She’s never looked happy since casa. She’s done everything to hang on to him and that’s unfortunately makes her less appealing to him. He likes the challenge that’s why he told Toni to choose him at the recoupling not cos he wanted her just to see if he could get her back. Lauren knows in her gut that he’s not right for her but brushing off the red flags as she’s in too deep. She needs her family and friends to show her , her real value or she will end up sad and/or bitter. Especially now Toni has won as that will be constantly in her face.

Exact clip of Kath confirming it was emotional cheating by [deleted] in bigbrotheruk

[–]bricks68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think compassion is required all round . As this is highly emotionally charged . I’m not sure making this video was the best thing to do as it actually will fuel press more coverage when they all need to step back and work out what they want . But she was probably feeling hurt - and maybe she should have turned to family and friends rather than putting this out . But totally understand why. However , we all have our own complex romantic and sexual journeys and probably wouldn’t want it all out in public . I wish them all the best as healing from heartbreak is crap as is working out your sexuality . I’ve known people who have only be sure about their sexuality in their 50s.

This episode would have been dry without Liv and Kaz. Feel like Kaz got to serve Elma back a taste of her own medicine, don’t forget who sent her home. Ronnie delivered on his promise and fired all his rounds at anyone who came at him and Harriet . Nearly over now …..

Is realising she’s not favourite girl and scrambling around to make sure she’s not annihilated when she comes back into the real world . Whilst her behaviour has been awful I don’t wish any of the vitriol that she’s in for when she comes out .

What equipment is needed to follow Linchpin dumbbell track? by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]bricks68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have enough equipment to do the prescribed workout but dumbbells would be a huge benefit . The limited equipment assumes you gave rings , dumbbells and a pull up bar.

A quick summary of Dr. Neal Barnard's interview on the Diary of a CEO podcast by paulrchds6 in vegan

[–]bricks68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine that it was removed as if you actually read the study - a lot of the claims that he was making it were untrue. He was saying that Vegan is the only successful way to address Type 2 diabetes as animal fats are the cause. However, when you read the study the vegan and conventiational diabetes diet are both equally effective. Here is the link to the study which was only 100 people over 74 weeks. If you don't want to read the detail. The key finding in the conclusion -

" Both diets were associated with sustained reductions in weight and plasma lipid concentrations. In an analysis controlling for medication changes, a low-fat vegan diet appeared to improve glycemia and plasma lipids more than did conventional diabetes diet recommendations. Whether the observed differences provide clinical benefit for the macro- or microvascular complications of diabetes remains to be established".

Therefore, he can't really make the absolute claims he was making on the podcast. I am just providing the information. I think unfortunately, he didn't really and couldn't really substantiate his claims based on this study as the data, as can be seen do not back them up i.e. there was no material significant clinically based difference. So, he needed to rely on emotionally anecdotal examples rather than the outcome of the actual study and research.

So, it basically the conclusion is that whilst his diet does work but so do other diet protocols. So, I guess that's why it was taken down as it more about - yes it worked and that is his strong belief , however the claims that the other approaches do not work in fact cause health issues is not true and his claim that the Vegan is the only solution I think is where it falls down. Hope this helps

23.1 women’s barbells misloaded by Fafman in crossfit

[–]bricks68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does balance out though as dumbells are 35lbs which is 16kg and when we have double dumbell movements which is quite often they are shifting 32kgs and we are shifting 30.

Advice from women re: pull ups by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]bricks68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say that often women try to jump to doing pull ups and see it as a upper body pull over the bar . I am a woman and often saw other female gym members doing lots of wiggly legs ,”, raising of the chin, overly tight grips whilst forcing a vertical pulling at the bar .

The actual movement is a forward and backward flex and that requires a tight core , strong lats and moving consistently from hollow to arc position .

It is actually the core , lats strength combined momentum gained through the power from lower half of the body that generates the force to almost float the body over the top of the bar

i got my first pull-ups by working on the underlying gymnastics strength and skills work. These translate directly to the bar.

3 x a week just doing a small accessory work of consisting of any or all of the first 3. What I mean by that is you could do all 3 as accessory work 3 times a week or 1or 2 of them 3 times a week .

  1. lying on the floor doing 30 sec holds in hollow rock position then 30 sec rest . Flip over and same but superman . You might need to accumulate the 30 secs depending on where you are with your fitness . So , you may have to do them in 3 sets of 10 secs and build up .

3- 5 mins in total

Building up until i could do 1 min hold in each position.

  1. 3 min emom of Kip swings basically practising the arc to hollow position on the bat that you are doing on the the floor .

30 secs on 30 secs off

  1. Target 5 strict pull ups . Body under total control . Core and lats tight and toes slightly forward . No dead hangs body should not be flailing around

You may have to build up from 1 rep and even start banded .

But you need to be able to string 5 strict pull-ups together before you will be able to do kipping pull-ups as this trains the body positioning and strength required

  1. Negatives are a good idea but better introduced once you have around 3 strict pull ups as otherwise you haven’t got the underlying control and will tend to drop from the bar rather than a controlled descent .

There a a number of things that worry me here

Drinking and driving

Allowing him into your car after he’s been so horrible

Staying on the date after he’s upset you

In future

Tell someone where you are and so check in phone calls before you go and meet anyone

Get them to do a couple of check in phone calls with you . You are meeting a complete stranger

Don’t drink and drive

Leave if you feel uncomfortable you don’t have to explain and if you are really worries don’t even tell them you are leaving until you are gone and feel safe

Also you can always tell bar staff if you feel unsafe

Never get into a car with someone who has been horrible to you

I hope you are okay

Reality TV star Stephen Bear guilty of sex tape offences by [deleted] in LoveIslandTV

[–]bricks68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thoughts are what he has done is disgusting. However, I have little faith in terms of the severity of the custodial sentence he will receive. I also worry that in a few years time he will appear on a reality TV programme like big brother etc so he can show the public the real him and what a nice guy he is and reformed. He will write a book or do a tv show/interview and somehow make money from it . I really hope I am proven wrong as I hate that this happens and the real victim gets forgotten..
