And there’s a million and one different reasons why the context behind a piece causes someone to dislike it even if they initially liked it. It works the other way too, if you like something and you find out it had a cool story behind it, lots of people will like it even more.
“I fish the least digested looking bits of corn from the shit pile” is just not a good story lol
I’m gonna go against the grain here and recommend 7-zip
Truly all cum posters are living in Violet’s shadow
See my other comment. But for additional information, the technical reason she was ultimately disqualified was for failing to post a total.
Due to having her third squat sabotaged, she needed to push her deadlifts more aggressively later on to have a chance at the podium, and she ultimately wasn’t able to put a deadlift on the board
What an odd thing to say. People have died with far less. Bumping into the plates and causing her to list at the hardest portion of the lift (both for her and for the spotters to help) could easily result in serious injury or death.
She had almost 740 pounds on her back. Go to a gym. Load that much weight onto a bar. Try to roll it around on the floor a little.
Now suppose this sudden unexpected jolt from the interference causes a muscle tear. Again, it’s happened to people lifting far less. Assuming the saboteur decides to help, now every single member of the team of five spotters would suddenly need to catch 150lbs in their outstretched arms.
Yes, he absolutely did risk her life, to say nothing of the risk posed to her health and her career
Absolute scum. Sonita is such a cool and down to earth person it’s insane that someone could be so blinded by racism as to basically try and kill her (which is easily on the table with that much weight on your back).
Here’s a cool video they made for her for Scheffield 2024 (pretty much like the world cup of powerlifting) where she talks for a few minutes about her life and her hopes for the future of the sport, for anyone who wants to check her out
Gil already thought about this is and is just commenting for attention
What are we complaining about? I’m here for it I just want to know where we’re directing the anger
Why hang out somewhere you wish didn’t exist?
So instead of engaging in your many ai-powered hobbies you choose to hang out in a boring place to criticize the boring discussion topics of boring people?
Just took a quick look at your comment history because this one gave me deja vu.
I don’t think you’re a bot or anything, but I’m intrigued. Genuinely, what’s your motivation? If you’re so satisfied and confident with AI why not just go and enjoy the many fulfilling hobbies and the rewarding technical job that you brag about? If I had invested in google early on like you claim this situation is identical to, I’d be super chilled out about it instead of preemptively gloating and proclaiming that I was “obviously correct”.
It’s been a remarkable thing to be threatened, for years now, to be “left behind” by people who never seem to be able to leave. Really, why not just go? What’s holding you back? Is your super useful weather app not raking in enough money? Can’t you easily make like ten apps a day? Nobody’s ever been able to explain to me where all this supposed “obvious” usefulness is actually being applied. You all just appear to be totally stuck in the mud
Yeah you seem like a great science communicator
If you are so concerned about confusion, you should refrain from ever explaining or offering advice to anyone moving forward
extra weight
Correct, this part is where you were wrong, as you have now agreed in writing.
Why would anyone get hurt by that?
You are actively encouraging people to develop osteoporosis and sarcopenia. Secondarily, you are steering them away from the massive list of other proven benefits of training, such as reduced injury risk and improved mental health.
It’s literally as insane as telling people to avoid drinking water because drinking alcohol is bad for you, and those are both things you drink. And then posting a random study about the health outcomes of alcoholics and literally lying through your teeth as you say the study is about drinking in general, whether it be water or alcohol.
It’s shockingly disingenuous and unethical
I don’t know why you’re still talking about it but yes. Exclusive bicep focus is not a good strategy for improving your health. Nobody ever said otherwise, not even the meme (the subject has a fully developed upper body, and the angle even shows off the whole back). Just let it go
It’s also literally irrelevant. The reason you pissed off 100% of the community is not because you dislike bicep training, but because you posted dangerous medical misinformation, which is still in fact in your original post. You have now agreed that you were wrong about that. You should edit your post to correct your mistake
Okay, great. Yes overt illegal drug abuse is extremely harmful. You also happen to be talking to someone who dislikes the scummy supplement industry in general. I go as far as steering people away from creatine and protein supplements. I agree, the whole association between drugs/supplements and broader gym culture is extremely problematic
The final thing is the difference between resistance training and cardio. They are not positioned against one another whatsoever, in fact as you become stronger you need a higher base of cardio to continue to progress.
So in conclusion:
Cardio: good
Resistance training as defined by the linked wikipedia article: good
Muscle hypertrophy resulting from resistance training: good
Drug abuse: bad
Excessive mass gain possible only via drug abuse: bad
Doing nothing but bicep curls: bad
Does this all feel aboveboard?
Well, in context, the other dude who you began your comment by supporting had been in the thread arguing that people shouldn’t lift weights at all. And then I felt your initial simplified phrasing of what you were saying kind of rolled into that. But I’m glad we were able to progress the discussion amicably
Okay I’m looking at the meme, please hold.
…
Excellent, yes it is exactly how I remembered it.
But why are you talking to me incessantly about exclusive bicep focus when literally the first thing I said to you was to go ahead and skip direct bicep training because it doesn’t matter?
Of course, if you exercise, you will gain size
Right on, yeah I think we’re pretty much on the same page now.
I apologize for coming in hot. My main issue really is just with the popular myth that the ratio you’re referring to is very extreme and necessitates totally different styles of training. It’s often used to mislead women in particular, who are baited into purchasing expensive yet ineffective programs that “won’t make them bulky”. But as we continue speaking I can see that you’re not advocating for that
I also imagine this guy’s kids’ crafts
