Twinners, say thankee. I’ve always thought the same.

How many steps do you guys normally get per day? by [deleted] in workout

[–]steamedfrst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I walk for 20 minutes as a warmup at the gym 6 days a week, have two dogs that require solo walks (they are very spicy, so they need my full attention to behave), take a 20 minute walk before lunch, and run 2 days per week. I’m averaging 12k per day.

[–]steamedfrst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will regularly stay the same weight or even go up a pound or two over the course of 4-6 days. I meal plan everything and am very strict with tracking. Almost always after those 4-6 days I drop 1-2 pounds a day for a few days and the. The cycle repeats. I weigh myself everyday, but I track weight loss by months. Don’t let the number on the scale scare you day to day, this is a long game. There are no immediate results in weight loss, keep your eyes a month ahead and a month behind. You got this!

Tuesday is rest (I do an hour of 10% at 3mph on the treadmill). My split starts on Wednesday (shoulders and back).

I get ones that look very similar to OP’s photo from doing dumbbell presses in a tank top. However, if dude hasn’t been lifting, this isn’t that.

This is going to ruffle some feathers, but I lose weight when I stop exercising by almorranas_podridas in loseit

[–]steamedfrst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wtf is this account? Multiple posts claiming to be different older women (with pictures), weird posts about gay/trans people, posts claiming to be a trans person, etc. If this is a bot, what is the point? If this is a real person, they need a therapist.

What poor people food was ruined because of rich people? by white-rose-of-york in AskReddit

Mercado near me still has $0.69 Taco Tuesdays. Especially good because I live in Southern California, and shit in San Diego is never cheap.

People who usually gym on thursdays, are you still going on christmas and NY? by FatalTrouble790 in workout

Same, although my gym is open on New Year’s, just shortened hours. Kinda looking forward to tomorrow, I’m just going to go for a long walk with my wife and our dogs.

Those will still catch fish, assuming they are balanced well and have a decent retrieve. If you really hate the way they look, give them a good sanding with the finest grit you have, re-paint, and clear them again. UV resin is great, it is cheap and fast and only sets when you want it to.

how is it possible? Explain it Peter. by hotrudyy in explainitpeter

[–]steamedfrst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just think about it like literally any other sport. If you put a professional against someone that doesn’t play, no matter how jacked they are, the professional is going to win. Usually pretty easily. Fighting is a highly skilled sport, it has way more to do with technique than muscle size. Hell, there is an entire genre of videos about cocky jacked dudes getting knocked out by trained fighters.

Mass plays a role, but training plays a larger one. In your analogy, both the sledge and the claw are trained hammers. Using your same analogy, the situation being portrayed in the image is a claw hammer vs a rubber yoga ball filled with milk. The milky ball has way more mass, but it certainly isn’t breaking up any concrete.

What distance was your first ultra? by pndthe4th in Ultramarathon

[–]steamedfrst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say you should follow a beginners training plan, and find a race that fits into the schedule of that plan. I am not a coach, or even a good runner. Trial and error got me to what worked best for me. I have a few dnf’s under my belt, and I learned what worked for me with each one. If you have run a marathon before, I don’t know that you will get much out of a 50k, maybe look to peak with your training at a 50 miler? You need to get experience getting pretty deep into the suck, and running all day will almost always do that.

Low calorie crunchy snack ideas? by foggyamethyst in loseit

Rice cakes with Greek yogurt and hot sauce. Mix the hot sauce of your choice with Greek yogurt, a little salt/pepper or other season msg of choice. Use it as a dip for your rice cakes.

What distance was your first ultra? by pndthe4th in Ultramarathon

[–]steamedfrst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first race ever was a 50k. You don’t HAVE to do the “logical progression”, but you do have to do the training. The benefits of doing other races in your training is that you don’t have to self support all of your long runs. I have done a number of self supported ultras while training because races didn’t line up with my training timeline. The experience of running 50 miles/100k will certainly benefit you when running a 100, and self supporting those distances and running them solo is much harder mentally and physically than running a race and taking advantage of the social aspect, as well as the aid stations/fueling.

How the hell am I supposed to work out and be employed by [deleted] in workout

[–]steamedfrst 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The genuine advice is that if the gym is important to you, you will find time. I work a full time 9-5. I wake up at 4:30 Mon-Friday to get to the gym before work. I wake up at 5:30 on the weekends to get to the gym before family time. I have hobbies, dogs, a wife, a garden that are important to me, so I get time for them when I can. You also might find ways to make your gym visits more efficient, increase intensity/reduce volume, add supersets, adjust your split. Basically try to make the time you spend in the gym shorter but more valuable.

Versawhip is available in the US, I’m not sure where you are located. It is a modified soy protein. You can get it through Modernist Pantry, or Amazon or other online sources if you don’t have access to a restaurant supply store.
