Thanks! Want some cheesecake? It's staring at me...
What kind?
Actually, its one that has all different kinds in the package: white chocolate raspberry swirl, turtle, chocolate swirl, and plain. I plan on putting it right back in the freezer unless you guys help me eat it!
Give me some, I'm starting to turn into an emotional eater.0 -
I know the answer. It's because the person who is supposed to be lifting the paper and the dumbell has Flintstone's Syndrome. They are very very sick and there is nothing science can yabba dabba do for them.
Best. Response. Ever.0 -
I wonder how many people we have on here that lift weights. I know that everyone that lifts weight have came to a weight that they couldn't lift A 3lb weight could seem easy to lift than a 5lb weight. A 5lb weight seemed easy to lift than a 10lb weight. There's a reason why true weight lifters couldn't just jump into lifting 25lb weights.
I lift weights and I am not going to lie to anyone and say that I had to work my way up the weights ladder. A true person will not lie.
I wonder if we have any personal trainers on here that can explain why people that lift weights have to work their way up the ladder.
Houston we have a problem!!
Yes, we do. My gut hurts. And my sides. From laughing my *kitten* off.
I have been massaging my cheeks because they hurt so much from laughing! I can at least thank everyone for making me smile tonight...Thanks all!!!
I have just one question for you............. "Jvkh127, why, you have such a small brain."0 -
I'm hoping it has a happy ending.:huh: Is anyone else completely speechless and baffled at this??
I sort of have a headache now and demand some kind of closure. I doubt we're going to get it though
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! :laugh:0 -

No. Actually, I think you may be better off with 10 lb bags of feathers and rice.0 -

i'll give this a stab...if i am in fact reading the question/information given correctly.
I lift weights. i started at 5 lb weights and they worked a-okay in the beginning. my muscles got stronger and the 5 lb weights no longer posed a challenge to my now stronger muscles. so i moved to 8 lb weights. same thing happened after a little while. it was not overnight, but after awhile, again, i moved to 10 lb weights. a little while later, here i am ready to move to 12 lb weights.
you didnt move up the weights ladder? does that mean you are not making progress?
heres the answer to your last question, (no, i am not a personal trainer) weight lifters move up the "ladder" because they get stronger and the heavier weights pose more of a challenge to their muscles. thats the dumbed down version.0 -

I don't know. Must be from not lifting all those heavier bags of rice I was just sticking to the feathers all this time....go figure!0 -

Holy Moly!
Well usually because you start with the weight you can lift, and then move up as you gain more strength. Three pounds is lighter than five, five is lighter than 10, etc. And the sky is blue. What the heck does this have to do with your very wrong assertion that 10 pounds of fat is heavier than 10 pounds of mucsle? 10 pounds is STILL 10 pounds.
Flyntiggr, if a person can pick up a 10lb pack of copying paper, then they should be able to pick up a 10lb dumbbell, right? After all 10lbs = 10lbs.
Some people that can pick up a 10lb pack of copying paper, can't pick up a 10lb dumbbell. To them the dumbbell is heavy.
I know a lot of people on here are trying to make it seem as if I am stupid and they have to live with their opinion. But, I know that two things can weigh the same and one be heavier. Just like two people can weigh the same and one look smaller.
I have been lifting copying paper for years. It was nothing for me, but I had to work my way up to 10lb weights.1 -

But fat isn't as heavy as muscle so it doesn't count. I think.

See, your response makes sense, BUT her original question did not. She asked how it was that a person who can pick up a 10 pound ream of copy paper could not also pick up a 10 pound dumbell.....So, her own response did not match her own question.0 -

Like I asked earlier, were you doing reps with these reams? You FELT the dumbbell was heavier because you THOUGHT it should be heavy. Your mind is messing with you, and with the rest of us. If you're so adamant in your opinion, let's give this thing closure and agree to disagree. Please, for the love of god.0 -

Okay so serious question here. Were you lifting the paper with two hands and then lifting the 10 lb weight with one hand? No seriously were you? Just asking.....

Probably because you used both hands to lift the paper and one to lift the 10lb weight........ now it makes sense0 -

There is a difference between picking up a weight and exercising with one. I am sure that if you had attempted to pick up a 10lb dumbbell with both hands and walk with it, you would have been able to. Likewise, you would have probably had a difficult time doing curls with a 10lb ream of paper.0 -

I think that's right. Fat doesn't fill up your stomach as much as muscle, and there's no muscle in cheesecake.0 -

How much heavier? Can you quantify it? No? Then it's all in your head.0 -

You wouldn't say EITHER of those things! Both are wrong. Neither is heavier than the other BECAUSE they weigh the same! Dear lord.
Jorra, just because two things weigh the same, it doesn't mean that one will not be heavier than the next. You can't tell me that a 10 pound bag of rice will not be heavier than a 10 pound bag of feathers.
I wasn't going to post - but I find I must! A 10 lb bag of rice DOES weight as MUCH as a 10 lb bag of feathers. The rice will have less in the bag because it's more dense than feathers. To say it would be heavier would be like saying a 10 year old boy that is 4 fee tall weighing 100 lbs weighs less than a 100 lb woman who is 5'3" -0 -

Look. You think you are right. None of us are going to change your mind, but you sure did provide us a crap-load of entertainment tonight in trying to prove an incorrect assumption. We've tried to use logic and science to explain the errors in your logic, to no avail. First off, a ream of paper weighs, on average, five pounds. Half of the 10 pound weight you couldn't lift. The fact that you are the ONLY one defending your argument should have been your first clue, but apparently it wasn't. I wish you luck in your weight loss, but do suggest that you become a little more open minded about things. There are 10-15 others on here that agree with what I've said, and we were all educated in different parts of the country. You'd think after awhile, you'd catch on that the majority is 'usually' correct.1 -
Did you weigh the ream of paper to make sure it actually weighs 10lb? The standard weight of a ream of copy paper is 5lb......
Maybe that could be why it feels lighter?
