Allow me to offer a translation of Betty's post.. We are tired of breaking the news feed every time we upgrade our ad serving applications. The feed is too old and does not support current ad serving standards. Yeah we know you love it but if we cannot show you more ads then you might as well not be here. Come see your new…

Lifelong gym rat. I agree with some of this advice. I disagree with other parts of it. Here's the perspective from someone who has been in and out of gyms since the 80s... Spatial Awareness is a thing. Just be mindful of your surroundings and do not walk through someone's range of motion. That's really it. Gyms get…

Ok, I am about to commit MFP blasphemy here, but..... This place, and many others, have protein requirements all wrong for MOST people. The rule of thumb is 1g protein for 1lb lean body mass for hypertrophy. Half that if you are not actively trying to achie e hypertrophy (gaining muscle mass ie lifting heavy things…

Been here forever. People come and go. I used to care a lot about that. Post all the time. Not so much anymore. I think the political climate really ruined the social side of this place. Everyone was just so desperate to virtue signal whichever side of the line they were on that it just became tedious to even say hello.

My advice is to never again call it a "journey". A journey has a beginning and an end. You are wanting to simply change your lifestyle. Also, "My ___ journey" is so 2014.

Yes. And I believe you have finally hit upon the best way for you with going keto. Just do it the right way. I am going to get a lot of push back here but I am old and do not care about the hive mind... Eat keto. Try your very best to eat as close to paleo with it as you can. Just... eat healthy foods. Do not sweat the…

I smell bot

I protest that there was no 4.5 option. I do a modified bro split (PPL) with a two on / one off cycle. So P, P, Off, L, P, Off, P, L, Off etc.

I have been in and out of gyms since the 80s. While some things have changed (everybody in headphones now) the basics are the same. Here are just a few tips... The staff will absolutely help you get started. They will also try to sell you training sessions. Be careful there, as one of their most effective sales techniques…

Clean bulks are a thing. Target your protein and keep the rest of your diet super clean. You will gain muscle without gaining much fat.

You are describing a dirty bulk, really. Which is just eating all the things in the hopes that you get enough of what you need to grow muscles along with the fat. A much simpler way to look at it is similar to the previous answer. Get your protein in. Mostly from food. If that is your focus you will end up pretty close to,…

Similar here. Only I never competed either way. Spent years training for aesthetic. Injuries and life happened. Got back into it and went the whole power lifting route. PR!!!! Realized that first, I am too old for that nonsense. And second, all I was doing with the power lifting thing was hiding from my weight. Like if I…

Happens every time they add a new tracker or whatever sad money grab it is. All of this bloat on the users and you'd think they could build a test environment to work out the kinks before shoving things into PROD, but nope. They just do everything on the fly. Because, well, dev team apparently has the ability to convince…

They should literally change the name of this place to UhOh.com

When she ignored my safe word

All of it. Because the trend here mirrors the trend in society in general that everyone has to all be about the latest "truth" and everything else must be wrong. Two years ago you could not open a thread anywhere on this site without reading about how 5x5 is the only possible program for lifting. Want to gain muscle? 5x5!…

What is a "calorie"?

*kitten* comments about what is on your plate can be annoying, but I think I topped that one last week. I am a freelance consultant who usually contracts with different institutions for 3 to six months at a time. I am on month three of my present contract and last week I came into work in a fairly good mood. I was standing…

You. You always were. Or, were always.

My cousin had one. It scared the hell out of his cat.

Oddly enough, I am not annoyed by the OP. It kinda feels like the criticism is a bit of people looking for something to be annoyed about. And no one does annoyed better than me, so I am somewhat conflicted. OP wants to post her workouts on faceboook? Ok. People want to be annoyed that she created a thread to tell everyone…

A thread about squirting, hot dogs, and not being gross and this is all you people have been able to come up with? Amateurs.

I would strongly advise against trying to MFP without alcohol

Just send me your money instead. You'll see the same results but I won't annoy you by constantly asking for more.

I paid attention to you. Ok, I paid attention because I thought that said "Boob" and not "Boop".

She looked awfully comfortable with that move. I'm just sayin'....

It can't be classified as "paleo" because there's no way that cavemen ate vagina tea. For that matter, did cavemen even yodel through the paleolithic canyons? I think we may have accidentally stumbled upon the key to silencing at least the female half of the Paleo crowd. "Oh you only want to date a guy who is paleo? You do…

It's definitely the best way to consume more protein.

Uranium-based foods are generally considered "bad" foods.
