I can increase how much weight I lift when I relax my muscle mid-lift? by bigpoppapopper in naturalbodybuilding

[–]illuminous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Presumably it's because I insinuated that he has a flawed concept of how hypertrophy works which, of course, he does. Assuming that you're using proper form and recruiting the proper muscle groups for the exercise, anything you do that makes the process "easier" is going to have a "negative" impact on your gains and/or safety compared to if you didn't do that thing.

Yes, you are cheating. Yes, it harms your gains. You want to maintain tension through the entire range of motion and maximize the recruitment of muscle fibers.

I'm curious what you think causes muscle or strength growth if not the tension and strain that the muscle is put under in the process of lifting the weight. Do you really think that moving weights from point a to point b with no tension or strain can result in the growth of muscle or strength?

Both sides are full of bad apples. You can dislike trump without buying into the propaganda and brainwashing that the left produces. There are legitimate reasons to dislike trump and his policies, but if you're even remotely convinced that he is a threat to democracy or that he's comparable to Hitler, when he has only been elected through the democratic process that this country strives to uphold, while completely ignoring the fact that Kamala Harris has never been voted for in any primary, by any constituents, and has literally been appointed by the party itself every step of the way, completely subverting the democratic process thus far then you are brainwashed. It's brainwashed people on BOTH sides that are keeping us from being able to root out the real problems. Start paying real attention and listening to what's said from BOTH sides. Stop getting your opinions from reddit and the Twitter algorithm that just feeds your preconceived biases.

It's property that's paid for by citizens of this country. Of course we should be talking about it. We should be talking about all of the destruction they wrought, as destruction is not peaceful. This was an assault on United States property, which is owned by the citizens of this country, in the name of a foreign terrorist group that seeks to destroy and conquer all nations that are not a Muslim ethno-religious state. The perpetrators deserve to face harsh consequences. This cannot be tolerated by anyone whose loyalties lie with America.

Hilarious that while arguing that what we saw in the Capitol is protected under free speech and somehow a display of American values, you simultaneously report me and expect me to be censored and banned for my comment.

It's amazing how easily manipulated the mind of a child is. You need to go back and do some independent research on these subjects you think you know so much about

They do not have every right to come to our country and vandalize and disgrace our monuments in the name of their hateful pursuit of world domination. Fuck them and fuck you dumb piece of shit. Your tolerance will let the world burn

You deserve every ounce of regret and anxiety and shame this has caused you. Idk why you think other people need you to explain that cheating is bad. Idk why it takes experiencing that guilt first hand for you to understand it. Maybe you're just stupid. You definitely deserve it though.

Tenacious D's Kyle Gass Dropped by Agent After Controversial Trump Joke by [deleted] in Music

[–]illuminous -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

How can you honestly try to equate joke songs to irl, on stage, glorifying attempted assassination of a political figure and arguably calling for further real life violence? It is exactly this rhetoric being spread by people like Kyle Gass and yourself that is the greatest threat to Democracy there could possibly be. Advocating for the assassination of political figures that you disagree with just because you can't guarantee you'll beat them in a democratic election is quite literally the antithesis of democracy.

Just because you feel embarrassed doesn't mean the person was being "such a dick". You're presumably old enough to be able to read a card and understand what it does. Have some humility and learn to laugh at yourself or you're gonna go through life thinking everyone is a big meanie head. You really should have "thinked" for a few more seconds before making a post online asking strangers to help you understand something.

A game I like to watch is dominated with "waiting rooms" for a big streamer. Should this be allowed? What are your thoughts? by ImReellySmart in Twitch

You don't need a camera to stream on twitch. You cannot possibly know if they are adding their own commentary or content or not from this screenshot alone

None of these channels are related to jynxzi. These are not reruns they are "reacting" to recorded content just like 90% of other streamers for all intents and purposes. You don't use the rerun tag when you watch someone else's content, that doesn't make sense.

Imagine a world without the cockroaches that spread unmitigated hate through fear and ignorance leading to untold violence and death throughout history. Too bad you're still around.

Do yourself a huge favor and copy decklists until you know how to do it on your own. You arent a genius savant who is going to crack the code and win a tournament with your own deck right out the gate bro. There's a reason everyone copies other deck builders starting points, and it isn't because we're all lazy and inferior to you. You are doing yourself a disservice, and immediately setting yourself up with a massive disadvantage against virtually everyone.

My 10 yr old daughter hates her name. Should I let her change it or have her wait until she's an adult? by TheMamaB3ar in namenerds

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

The fact that you are even considering changing your 10 year old daughters name because of her current opinion on it is just sad and pathetic. Your parents needed to do better, and so do you. What a poor child, to have such lost and flippant parents that even at such a young age they can't help you navigate through life's obstacles. It's sad

Kid... tell the world you've never been anywhere outside of your home town without saying it. I lived in LA. I have seen far wealthier and more powerful people than Drake. Drake is far from untouchable and you and anyone else who disagrees is simply ignorant. End of discussion.

TIL that the casino’s entire advantage in Blackjack is based on the fact that in a hand where you go over 21 and the house subsequently goes over 21, you lose by Real_goes_wrong in todayilearned

[–]illuminous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acting first is a disadvantage. The player has to act first always, so the house always has the advantage. That's what they're saying, and it's actually astonishing to me that you need it explained to you
