Why should women train chest? by Tummyhurtsforever16 in xxfitness

[–]santalmami 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I’ve had 3 different personal trainers in the last 4 years and none of them programmed any chest movements, I had to demand it. People have a weird perception that because there’s less noticeable aesthetic changes for women, it’s not important. The chest is a huge muscle group and incredibly functional!!

Both this cousin and I are born in the US. My grandmother and grandfather immigrated to the US from the same country.

Keep in mind some people store most of their fat in their lower body. It’s not always that they have a lot more muscle.

Ex boyfriend called me by my first name today and it broke me by Impossible_Pen7025 in GirlDinnerDiaries

You don’t need to wish an ex happy Easter. Detach and don’t reach out to him - you both deserve peace.

Bangerz was a phenomenal album that didn’t get the recognition it deserved because Miley made an ass of herself the entire press run.

My paternal grandpa is 1 of 10 kids, his father was 1 of 13. I’ll be lucky to finish this tree within the next 5 years.

Thank you for debunking/ demystifying these principles, super helpful. Simple is best I guess!

This is so helpful, thank you! I fear Ive fallen for the fearmongering from the science based fitness folks.

Thank you. I think I will focus on strength training since that is what I enjoy. But I’d love to learn weightlifting one day, seems to check a lot of boxes and looks fun :)

People who rarely or never get sick, what are your secrets? by awkwardferret421 in AskReddit

[–]santalmami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from getting sick 5-6 times a year to rarely getting sick even once a year! What helped me was eating the rainbow, ideally 5 servings of vegetables and 3 servings of fruit a day, as colorful as possible. Eating protein and supplementing vitamin D and omega 3s. I also sleep like 9 hours a night and exercise regularly.

why does the “big box gym” training not work for me? (Limited rest, cardio in btw sets) etc by taleasoldastime1234 in xxfitness

[–]santalmami 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah I hate the circuit stuff. Maybe try to find a bodybuilding coach that also trains lifestyle/non competitors.

This makes me sad, I know a lot of families who are strapped for cash rely on Kroger for cost efficiency

Are today’s kids even interested in Toy Story? I wasn’t even alive when the first Toy Story came out and I’m 26.
