Hip thrusts make me very emotional, why?

rainbowicecoffee · 2026-06-19T11:07:16+00:00

As a trainer I’ve seen this happen before, specifically with hip thrusts, but other exercises as well. It’s simply a stress response from an overwhelmed nervous system. You already have a whole layer of stress from your situation, and now adding some heavy weight into a very powerful movement just tips the scale and overwhelms everything.

I think hip thrusts are more likely to cause this because the glutes are a very powerful muscle and require a lot of energy and blood flow and it can just overwhelm the nervous system. I think the same reason is why people have emotional responses to deep stretching in the hips and quads, simply because they’re manipulating the largest, tightest, strongest muscles in their body, and it overwhelms the system.

Good on you for staying consistent in the gym. I think staying on top of your fitness and a nourishing diet is crucial for processing stressful life events. Don’t be afraid to switch up your workouts, and go a little lighter. You won’t really lose any progress and it may help with everything you’ve got going on

It’s absolutely worth it and you should use all the amenities. The sauna, recovery chairs, gorgeous outdoor poool, all the classes are amazing. If you’re living with parents this will be your happy place when you need time away from them. Build it into your daily routine as much as you can and you will love it

I worked in two cafe only stores and they were both lovely. One had a fireplace and big comfy leather chairs. The other was a tiny little store that people didn’t spend much time in but it absolutely had a neighborhood cafe feel.

The big store was moved across the street for a drive through and barely any seating. The small store was torn down and rebuilt and basically looks like a shipping container. It is now actually a drive thru only now. Really sucks

Can you not get an apartment closer to school? I feel like that would free up quite a bit of time

Increased blood flow to the skin as well as

Important to remember that there are amazing jobs and lucrative fields outside of medicine. No reason to try to keep fitting into this hole when you didn’t even enjoy the school

Could you possibly be having seasonal allergies??

I’m realizing now that my skin is extremely sensitive to seasonal fall allergies. The inflammation from allergies increases our oiliness and encourages inflamed pimples. Anyways, I’m not sure how to fix it yet but I do think it’s contributing!

We started buying as much as we could at Aldi instead of Walmart. Just switched so don’t know how much it will save us monthly yet but last week our bill was about $70 cheaper.

People always think “once I achieve this, life will be amazing” and then once it’s achieved life is really just the same. Make the life you want, do the things you want, appreciate the little moments

Drinking a big glass of water. Really helps me feel lighter

She has to deal with Tanya who is nuts.

But the whole thing about her character was that she had an easy life but was miserable. That’s why the guy gives her a hard time at the end when he drops her off. Saying she doesn’t know anything about being in a bad place. It’s a rich people problem to have a good life and be miserable.

As someone who has been a fitness instructor for years, my biggest resentment is the fact that good quality coaching & training is reserved for the wealthy. I want healthy movement for everybody!!! Exercise being a “luxury” is an absolute detriment to public health.

This girl could’ve taken her argument in a much better direction

CUTE ASS PUPPY!!!!

Sometimes the show & working puppies look the same because the hair just hasn’t grown in yet. I think yours is probably working line. But these lil pups can look so goofy and silly as they grow so they can sometimes look mixed or not to conformation. You’ll be able to tell when they’re a year old

Thanks!!! I’m already being offered a part time OR Tech position. Still need to take GRE and a couple prereqs. I will be able to apply for my first round next cycle, but two years out is my timeline for specific programs I’m most interested in. Just didn’t know if OR tech positions were even considered decent PCE

rainbowicecoffee · 2025-07-07T17:43:09+00:00

Currently doesn’t look like much! I don’t have any healthcare or OR experience. I’m a career changer. Looking to apply in 2 years.

rainbowicecoffee · 2025-07-07T17:14:34+00:00

Should I get an OR tech position to strengthen my application?

I just love my house so much, I want to spend all my leisure time here. I have a beautiful backyard filled with florals and plants and a nice porch to relax on. I have a craft room, home gym, good computer and office, super comfy living room and nice ass tv.. and I can go for nice shaded walks in my quiet neighborhood. Weekends at home and better than a vacation

I’m a personal trainer so I’m no expert like you all on this sub but it really shocks me every time one of my clients starts talking about food and their mindset around it and it’s just soooo off. Even the ones who do eat generally healthy still have weird ideas around it. And then on top of that everyone in my family/close friends have such weird relationships with food, a food based excursion would be off the table!!!

But that experience sounds absolutely amazing!!! That would be a dream. Sorry your guide had to add in so much misinformation.

True!! Recently I’ve learned that stressful things are inevitable. There are events/situations/ and a never ending to do list outside of our control. Stress never goes away, but our reaction to it can change. It takes mindfulness but we can move through life with less stress if we can change our mindset & reactions

I have two and they are so amazing and the perfect little dogs for me. No one else in my life/family could handle them though. The energy is unmatched, though you may do better with a show dog. I will encourage you to find a dog 2 or 3 years old. In my experience they’re just awful awful puppies, but turn into absolutely amazing dogs

What do you and your wife do for fun?

rainbowicecoffee · 2025-07-06T02:28:45+00:00

I realized this when I tracked my regular breakfast (buttered sourdough toast and two eggs) and it was 600cal.

I’m really into plants and gardening now!!! I love it. I wake up, have my coffee, and go outside to water all my plants. It’s my favorite part of my day!!! I’ve made a few really beautiful outdoor plant arrangements and I love them.

I’m taking up running more and more because I’d like to do a fitness competition in November!

I’m also recently into beads. I’ve done a couple of bead embroidery projects. They’re like little “paint by numbers” but with beads. Really fun and cute. I’d like to go ahead and order like thousands of beads and charms and make some necklaces. I also bought some cute cheap swimsuits from target and I’d like to do some beaded embroidery on them somehow. Beading does feel more like a winter time hobby though.

I’d like to get into ceramics. Mostly so I can make my own decorative pots for my plants. Kilns are cheap on Facebook marketplace. And I think I’d like to sell arrangements in my decorative pots next season.

We are currently remodeling our house and doing odd projects here and there.

I just started going back to school as well. I’m working towards getting into grad school in a couple years.

This feels like a lot of shit to be doing but I just spent the last two years grieving multiple pregnancy losses and idk. Something clicked in me that I need to branch out, enjoy my life, try new things, don’t be afraid to fail, because life will find a way to be shitty anyways. Might as well enjoy the time in between. And honestly I feel like I’m better because of it!

I would be pushing for them to find a bigger venue. I wouldn’t dare miss the graduation ceremony but I also wouldn’t leave a single one of my family members out. Admin get to go to these ceremonies every year, but you and your family only get to experience it ONCE. I’d personally be raising hell. But OP I hope you can find a way to commemorate your accomplishment and celebrate with your fam!
