I'll echo what these posters said. It doesnt get easier, you just get better.

I second this.

You might feel sore tomorrow. Come back and let us know!

Get that chest closer to the ground!

Carbs are a frienemy.

I use half & half. 40 cals for 2 tablespoons

I love these threads. It's like everyone on here is trying to win the most worthless popularity contest.

I make everyone's business my business.

I can go out and run a 5k in under 25 minutes with out much effort and I only strength train. I guess it depends on what you consider good enough cardio endurance.

I can think of three. You pointed out a fourth I believe. • Training experience • Amount of stored energy available • Size of caloric deficit • Amount of drugs used Maybe my definition of several is off.

2 sets with the empty bar.

Not sure why people state that losing fat and gaining muscle is so black and white. It's definitely a broad range of grey depending on several factors.

I would argue that lifting does give you a solid endurance base.

I hear it's called a FUPA.

I was judging the outcome, not the person. There's a difference.

You all are really missing the point that I was trying to make, are putting words in my mouth, and making straw man arguments. If we take the information that was given, one person has a goal to lose weight and the other does not. The person that has the goal and is counting calories will eventually lose the weight they…

There is not a line to be drawn at any weight. It's all the same practicality.

It's related to a specific question asked towards me.

I did no such thing. I only used the information that was given by the OP.

Great question! Few movement patterns are more natural than bending over and picking something up off the floor. The deadlift is nothing more than this natural movement performed correctly, with a loaded barbell held in the hands. This movement recruits a vast volume of tissue from the floor to the shoulders, including…

You're putting a lot of words in her mouth and assuming a lot of things that were not stated. You might want to go back and try to comprehend the original post.

Please explain the irony. I'm a little slow.

Sounds like you're quick to judge and that you're not interested in giving advice to someone that's looking for help.

How do you figure that?

Someone that has goals and a plan are vastly more likely to succeed than someone that doesn't. There's nothing to argue here.

Explain how?

Because to do anything meaningful or important requires effort and consistency. Thus is life. If I were a betting man, I would put my money on OP. The odds are against her friend.

I said it. Why?

You'll make it in the long run, she won't.
