  • Why do people associate wanting to be attracted to your partner as 'shallow'?
  • Oh no, look at all that bulk! This is why women should not lift heavy...too many side effects such as looking good, being strong, increased confidence, what a nightmare!
  • Yorkshire born & bred here!
  • Dude - Thursday happened...what's the next instalment?
  • Because they don't realise until they hit what they thought was their goal weight that their body doesn't look how they expected/hoped.
  • Hi, I'm pretty sure that if you've got down to that weight at that height that you've probably got most as far as you can on the fat loss side without changing to a body you're really not happy with. 'Toning' actually comes with 2 things - 1. you have to get to a lowish level of body fat. 2. you need to increase your…
  • Why can't we all just be supportive?! We come on this website to find like minded people and we shouldn't have to hear facts if we don't like them. also...muscle does NOT weigh more than fat - it's simply more denser...
  • Romanian squats - aren't they where you have one leg on a bench behind you? Normally called Bulgarian squats? @OP - good work dude!
  • They are only free of horse meat because it's too high quality for their normal sources... I'll have a 10er each way... I'll get my coat...
  • I enjoy it I see myself looking better I see the results that I track showing I'm lifting more and more I feel better I feel stronger I enjoy it! (did I say that one?) It's like a game - I log what I've done and then try to beat that next time. Sometimes I don't, and that's ok, I'll try again next session. Most times I do…
  • How do you pronounce that?
  • If you are doing standard back squats, then you knees have no choice but to move forwards. I don't think mine go past the ends of my toes though so I'll give a couple of things that I do that helps me keep good form. First, is on the way down I don't start to 'squat' right from the top. The first part of the motion it's as…
  • It's definitely easier if you aren't hanging and swinging all over the place. I tend to cross my legs at the ankles and allow the natural slight leg bend that comes with that, then hold them steady - this takes your whole core to some degree to hold steady. I would say - before you start, get under the bar right so that…
  • lbs are better for mass - obviously 45lbs you aren't going to be able to lift as many times as 20kg cos duh - 45 vs 20... so as we all know, higher reps is for toning muscle and lower reps is for building bulky muscle. so depends if you want long lean muscle or fat bulky muscle.
  • No - not forever. If you get scared half to death, effectively you have halved your life. Eventually, the remaining half would be short enough that you would die naturally.
  • Yea - that's right - he's out of the military and coming to visit you. What better way to greet him than to get him to rub your feet... :/ Quit whining - make the walk to meet him cos he's your god damn bf, then give HIM a foot rub when you get back! ETA - tough love method , not just being an *kitten*...
  • LGBTQIA - please - don't want to offend....
  • All of your second paragraph is you putting some huge weight of social commentary onto a tiny little statement. Context and intention are everything. If I were to complement a guy and say "I don't mean that in a gay way - I am not gay and I am not hitting on you", you could interpret that as me meaning "...ugh,…
  • Acknowledging that racist stereotypes exist is not racist. The people who are the butt (no homo) of this joke are racists.
  • 'Then why use it' - as I said - to acknowledge the comedy of a statement that can be taken in another way like a double entendre. Much like "that's what she said" or "said the actress to the bishop". Also - if we assume the comment is made seriously, and not as a joke (at no one's expense). Just because my view on…
  • And in relation to the 'no homo' thing - it is an acknowledgement that what has been said could be taken in a homosexual context. At no point does it say that being homosexual is a negative. I don't think there is anything prejudice about clarifying the context in which a comment is made... What's up...U mad bro? Also -…
  • Clearly missing the point of the joke... Just so you are clear let me spell it out - the joke sets up as if it is a racist joke with the expected outcome being one of making light of some dead Arab people. It then flips it, drawing attention to one's original assumption and making us question our own ideas and prejudices.…
  • Hating on valentine's day is for people who do life wrong. Doing something a bit different doesn't mean you are awful to each other all the other days. Think of it like you both having a small birthday on the same day.
  • As commented above - a lot of those are redundant if you are wanting to make it as quick as possible. 5x5 is my current routine of choice.
  • Sometimes it will actually be a detriment and sometimes downright bad for your health...
  • Sainsbury's - Apple, Pineapple and Grape Maximuscle - Progain Longley Farm - Vanilla Yogurt Longley Farm - Yogurt - Strawberry Tesco - Crisp Cox (Apple) I have to say - it's about 9 months since I last had any progain though so I don't know how accurate this is...
  • You SHOULD care about the science! It's extremely important! Would you rather people ignore the misinformation, you then follow that misinformation and then wonder why you're not losing weight?
  • She was not rude or negative - she was giving out information. It just went against what the OP wanted to hear is the only issue. One point she made which I think needs re-iterating is whenever calculating these numbers - you must remember that you would have burned some calories in that time anyway as part of your TDEE.…
