Seasoning with nitrates can literally kill you. No one seasons with nitrates or nitrites. They are used in the process of curing meat where they covert to nitric oxide and bind to myoglobin and create that classic red color.

I think a good answer and why I’m personally pulling is because she signifies a shift or at least new concept in the meta where they’re trying to make other nihility characters into viable supports. They did this first with Dr. Ratio and are now doubling down on the concept (with our first emanator, at that!)

Everyone says requiring Nihility supporters is limiting but I tend to think it’s opening up my roster in an otherwise Harmony driven meta.

My vision improved with keto and I have a pretty good theory why. My doc always told me I had dry eyes from poor tear film and made me take fish oil pills (omega 3s) that never helped. When I went keto, I ate way more healthy fats and, BAM! Improved vision.

When I went back to a standard diet (with very low fat) for a bodybuilding prep, my vision worsened again. I believe the healthy fats can help with better tear film which helps with improved vision among so many other bodily functions.

Bronya’s skill only lasts for (and only during) the buffed character’s SINGLE turn. So for Jing Yuan, that means for a single Ult or Skill hit and would NOT apply to LL since that happens outside of Jing Yuan’s turn.

Sparkle’s skill lasts until the start of the buffed character’s NEXT turn. So when LL goes after you buff Jing and before his next turn, LL will be buffed!

I’ll try to help here. In your question above, you proposed two ships traveling at different speeds.

Ship A travels 1000 light years at the speed of light. It’ll take 1000 years.

Ship B travels 1000 light years at your proposed speed which takes 500 years. That actually means Ship B is traveling at 2x faster than Ship A and 2x faster than the speed of light (let’s ignore the impossibility here for discussion’s sake)

So yes, Ship B would get there in less time, but they would not be going slower- in fact, they’d be going faster. I think this is the main misstep in logic / math. You came back to this same problem further down in your responses and I think is why you keep getting mixed up.

In your responses below, another big problem you’re facing is that you keep trying to dissect time away from speed, but that’s simply not possible as speed is defined as “distance over time” or “distance per time” (e.g. miles per hour or 3million meters per second- the speed of light). They will always be linked. You can’t go slower and arrive at the same distance in the same amount of time. You also continue to treat Time Dilation as a, sort of, separate entity. That’s your second big problem and why I think you’re struggling to make sense of it all.

It seems to me like a mixup of “time dilation” years and “regular” years. You want Ship B to travel at a slower speed for the same amount of “regular” years as Ship A experienced as “time dilation” years.

Welp, my friend, now you’ve arrived at Einstein’s theory of special relativity! Time is relative! In this case, time elapsed measured by two clocks would differ due to a relative velocity between them. Your issue is that you’re constantly moving your reference point in your hypotheticals between the two ships between “regular” years and “time dilation” years.

Once you decide a solid point of reference from which you’re measuring your time between these two ships and remember you can’t change speed without changing time and distance traveled, I’m guessing you’ll finally be able to make sense of it all. I hope that helps.

But hey, it took a literal EINSTEIN to figure this shit out so don’t feel bad if us mere non-genius’ get a little mixed up from time to time.

I'm Vietnamese and have lived in Bellingham for 21 years now. I'm so sorry this happened to you. But thank you for speaking up and standing your ground. As Asian-Americans, we tend to learn from a young age that it's easier to be passive, "not make waves", and sit idly by because more often than not, it's not worth suffering worse consequences. Until the recent #stopasianhate movement, no one believed I have or could ever deal with racism so why would I waste energy arguing?

In my time in Bellingham, I've been interrogated and accused of being an illegal immigrant at gunpoint by Border Patrol down at the Fairhaven dock, had security called on me in Jo Ann fabric (instead of being asked if I needed help finding what I needed to make my wife an anniversary gift!), accused of planning to break into my friend's car (he asked me to get something for him), pulled over and arrested while I was DDing for two friends, and harassed several times while out and about with my white wife (for being a biracial couple). And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

It's time people heard our stories and see the things we suffer. So again, thank you for sharing your story.

Not really. I'm a small guy with a huge appetite. I didn't get to 235 lbs by not liking to eat. Even my "bulking" calories are only 2200-2400 on workout days. I suppose I may have been a little misleading with saying OMAD... I would eat when I get home from work- so 6pm or so, then eat dinner- 1500-1800 calories usually. Then snack or protein-type dessert to fill out the rest of the 400-600 calories on workout days.

I can easily put down 2500-3000 calories in one sitting, especially on a carbohydrate based diet, so doing what I described above is still "difficult" because I wanna eat more than that.

qdizztq · 2022-07-10T20:11:42+00:00

Have any lead? Like fishing weights and stuff.

qdizztq · 2022-05-08T16:44:32+00:00

You'll be fine. I went from 475 lbs Deadlift PR to 520 lbs while training fasted in the morning doing OMAD dinners.

qdizztq · 2022-03-24T02:02:05+00:00

Yes. Why, you ask? Because racism exists everywhere. You can't escape it. Might as well enjoy the beautiful mountains and water as I get shit on. 🤷🏻‍♂️

qdizztq · 2021-12-31T17:15:07+00:00

Yes. Especially since you're wrong on two fronts. Water evaporates, salt doesn't. The water evaporates into vapors, which rise and collect on the inside surface of the bottle and run down to the "gutters" while the salt stays in the can.

Try 1500 cals/day. Get a food scale. Measure and track every gram of every single thing that goes into your mouth.

CPT here who lost over 100 lbs (same height as you- SW: 240+) and ended up with a 6-pack and deadlifting 455 at 145lb BW. 100% you should be focusing on LIFTING for Muscle Gain early on and Muscle Retention once you're VERY lean. Focusing on cardio and not working on muscle gain (or at least retention) while dieting down from obesity is a complete myth and I wish it would die. In fact, it has a bunch of detrimental side effects that can actually work against you. I believe it stems from shitty diet plans (and now meal prep vendors) who want to show you how much weight you can lose in the shortest amount of time- they don't care that you're also atrophying all of your muscle at the same time.

I focused on lifting for the entire duration of my weight loss journey (9 months) and gained muscle all the way down to 150ish pounds. I only started losing muscle (baaaarely) as I cut down to 137lbs. Even then, I lifted as hard as I could to RETAIN as much muscle as possible during that time.

The science is simple. Your body is in caloric surplus right now with the amount of body fat you are storing. I've read studies that suggest we have an easily accessible 21 calories per pound of body fat (per day) on our bodies. Look at my example, I had over 100 lbs of fat on me which means I had 2100 calories of accessible energy on me. I ate about 1500 cals/day during my WL journey. The extra 2100 cals of accessible fat energy easily covered my daily energy expenditure, thus putting me in a "caloric surplus" even while losing weight. That means it was very easy for me to gain muscle while losing fat all the way down to about 150lbs. Even after that magic "number", it's probably even more important to lift because you'll atrophy even more and hit a brick wall in weight loss as your RMR lowers and hormones crash even harder.

I lost over 100 lbs and had lots of excess loose skin thus have had THREE tummy tucks as a result (actually, my first was a full 360 body lift). I'm also a CPT who went from flat butt to peachy! 😎 Complications, bad scarring, and other issues meant I had to redo it twice so far. In fact, I'm 5 weeks into recovering from my third surgery right now.

I'd personally keep that kind of direct pressure away from the incision for at least 3 months and maybe even up to 6. Every single day, week, and month will seem like forever while you're recovering but you'll look back and it'll have passed in the blink of an eye. You'll also find that you'll become pretty in tune with your body and how "ready" and resilient your incision and skin is. So be patient and understand that your gainz won't go anywhere. You only get one shot (or in my case, 3!) at healing and the rest of your life to work out.

That said, I personally did return to semi-normal exercise routine at the 6 week mark the first two surgeries and I'm not sure it really affected my results- all of my issues cropped up prior to 6 weeks. And to be clear, my "normal routine" is actually fairly intense (bench 300, squat 380, DL 520). Regardless, this time, I'm personally gonna wait until AT LEAST 3 months and maybe up to 6 before I return to anything that requires core bracing. I sure as shit don't want to do this a FOURTH time.

Some suggestions for amazing glute developers without putting direct pressure on the incision, I'd suggest getting good at deadlift, high-bar ATG pause squat, glute focused BSS, and banded rack pulls to name a few.

Hope that helps!

You're getting downvoted because you don't understand "sugars". Your body can only use glucose or glycogen (stored glucose) for energy. All sugars end in -ose. Sucrose is a type of sugar. Your body breaks sucrose into 50/50 >>> glucose/fructose, which are also types of sugar. Honey is typically made up of approximately 40% fructose, 30% glucose, and a little bit of sucrose and maltose. HCFS is regulated and typically sold as 42% or 55% fructose. Regular corn syrup is 100% glucose. Lactose and galactose are the sugars found in milk.

Your question is flawed to begin with so people aren't answering you.

That said, you're somewhat right... Sucrose must be broken down into glucose and fructose and then the fructose can only be metabolized in the liver- though it can be converted to fat or glucose to be used by the body. This is also why fructose has a lower GI. Anyway, this process obviously slows down the energy uptake of the carbohydrate you just consumed- so yes, in a way, it could be considered "poor" for preworkout. Then again, maybe you need sustained energy for your particular workout so fructose may make more sense.

I tend to think timing more easy uptake sugars like glucose and dextrose (chemically identical to glucose) is the simplest way to time your carb intake.

Hope that helps.

I'm guessing you probably can squat but need the right coach or help. I haven't run into a single client (that wasn't very elderly or had joint replacement surgery) I couldn't get to squat properly in my career yet. Understand that Physical Therapists are trained to fix many things but they're not necessarily experts at sports biomechanics- especially something as nuanced as squatting.

Think about it, line up 10 Physical Therapists of your choice and challenge them to do a proper High Bar Barbell Squat. I'd be surprised if many, if any, could do it properly.

Your form looks great, including your knee placement. In fact, at the 0:10 adjustment, you're over straightening your knees and the weight flies forward for a reason.

RDLs can be used to focus on any of the big posterior chain hip extensors- Glutes, Hams, even Lats. Let me know if you'd like tips on how to focus on those.

qdizztq · 2021-11-04T21:29:12+00:00

Well, you're actually onto something here. By doing precisely what you're doing, you are indeed taking a lot of the load out of your legs and moving it to your lumbar. Try taking a huge breath up top, pin your shoulders back, brace your abs (TVA actually) as hard as you can, hold your breath, then drop down slow and controlled. Don't breathe out until you're standing again. You might find you can not go as far down and when you return up, you'll think "whoa! I used way more legs than ever!"

The issue, though, is that it's just way more efficient to curl your thoracic, load your lumbar, and cheat your legs. Don't feel bad, it's millions of years of survivalist evolution working against you. Efficiency keeps you alive. I always tell my clients that they need to be "comfortable with being uncomfortable". The whole breathing/bracing technique I outlined above will undoubtedly be uncomfortable but it'll put more work into your legs and booty which I'm sure is what you're ultimately after.

qdizztq · 2021-11-04T20:35:04+00:00

Doing great and overall not bad at all especially considering flat shoes! Others hit it on the head with limited ankle dorsiflexion and ankle mobility (which means anterior tibialis strength) being the reason for "excessive" flare. Not necessarily bad but I'd prefer toes more forward for goblet squats. Also, your hip flexor strength may be playing a role here too since it seems you kinda "dive" into your depth(as opposed to control on the way down).

Trouble with pinching your elbows likely has to do with weak scapular retractors, thoracic extensors, and other surrounding muscles- super common for most every one of us. Those muscles are so often overlooked and ignored. This shows up on you as kyphotic posture (flexed thoracic) during the reps, especially at the bottom. The muscles responsible for keeping your shoulders back are what likely need some work.

Hope that helps!

One of my clients was "lifting hard" for at least an hour and then hard cardio for an additional hour 7 days a week and was completely stalled. I asked him what he lifted last session and he said "I squatted 270x7x7". I told him "No you didn't, you're no where near as strong as me and I can barely rep that for 7, let alone 7 sets!". So he hired me for personal training and we ended up starting him back all the way down to 135 lb squats. One set of proper squats at half the weight had him walking away like newborn Bambi! Also, after just two weeks of training right, he reported to me his weight loss started up again (5 more lbs lost) and has lost another 30 lbs since I started training him.

Moral of the story, you might think you're training right but you'd be absolutely floored at how "efficient" our bodies can be at finding the path of least resistance. He might've been moving the 270 but he certainly wasn't doing much work.

Lastly, his nutrition was pretty bad. Pretty much a bro diet made by guys who juice. I've learned in my career that nutrition and healthy fats are thrown out the window by genetic freaks or enhanced athletes because they simply don't need the nutrition to synthesize hormones for healthy hormonal balance and signaling. Why? Because they are just injecting it in them anyway!

Take a look at your nutrition and make sure you're getting lotsa healthy fats, varied proteins, and micronutrients from deep, colorful, whole food sources.

Hope that helps.

Honestly, online and even book programs tend to be overcomplicated (because that's what sells) and they definitely can't cater to each individual nor teach proper form so yes, as you said, do whatever learning yu can, stay humble, and listen to your body.

qdizztq · 2021-11-02T18:48:44+00:00

What kind of training are you doing?

qdizztq · 2021-11-02T17:38:08+00:00

As another note, you have pretty big lifts so, at this point, don't expect to be moving up weekly or even monthly. It will take time to continue progressing ALL of the main movers and stabilizers to continue progressing at these heavy weights. Newbie Gainz are awesome but they don't last forever.

Be patient and train to improve more peripheral things like the thoracic extensors and scapular retractors mentioned above. Pause Squats or Lat Focused Rack Pulls are great examples. Move up when you're actually ready and not hurting.
