@rickslp @BlackLanterrn @OldCrowCobra @biggaypaul92 @americanputo Because rank beginners don't have the work capacity, frankly. Their technique is too poor, their recovery is at its worst. They just won't gain much and potentially just burn out or worse. Better imo to focus on consistency and technique in the early stages.

@lorestraat @BlackLanterrn @OldCrowCobra @biggaypaul92 @americanputo Agree they benefit from just doing anything. But it’s like saying 1 is higher than 0. Why not do 2(spam adequate volume without excessive fatigue), when they don’t know how to calculate 3 yet(low volume high intensity)

STOP DOING 5 SETS OF 5 YOU FOOL

@rickslp @BlackLanterrn @OldCrowCobra @biggaypaul92 @americanputo Newbies don't need the volume, though. They get adaptations from doing pretty much anything early on, and won't plateau for months. Especially if they're still young.

@BlackLanterrn @OldCrowCobra @lorestraat @biggaypaul92 @americanputo I think newbs actually should be prescribed more volume to compensate for lack of intensity until they truly learn how to train to failure

@Jay46384590 @biggaypaul92 @BlackLanterrn @americanputo Everything within reason. I generally don't recommend doing squats to true failure... Things can go wrong very quickly.

@lorestraat @biggaypaul92 @BlackLanterrn @americanputo Is that only for bench and squat? Or does that apply to curls leg press etc

@biggaypaul92 @BlackLanterrn @americanputo Basically the intensity (ie weight on the bar) should be such that you fail in that range. I'll add that you should start at a submaximal weight and add a little week after week until you can't hit 10 reps if you haven't done this before.

@biggaypaul92 @BlackLanterrn @americanputo Target is to fail between 8-10 reps, yes. If you get more than 10, you add weight, if you get less than 8, reduce the weight.

@savvypleb @MajesticPLion It raises tdee by like 6 kcal per POUND of muscle DAILY. Cardio burns HUNDREDS of kcal per HOUR.

@MajesticPLion well partially. the fit people are fit because they have muscle mass and muscle mass raises your tdee

fat people at the gym doing random cardio and fit people doing weights. many such cases

@LiamCar75522354 @painncake Maintenence calculations are estimates, most are just (current weight x 14). only way to know for certain is to track calories and weight for several weeks at that number and see if you are trending down, up, or staying level. If it's not going down, reduce by 250 and try again.

@painncake I'm so lost on how ppl figure this out because all these calculators are saying mine should be like 3000 at 6'2 220. Does that sound right to ppl? Pls help my wedding is in 4 months and I don't wanna be fat for it lmao

i hate men so much because wdym your cut is 1600, my maintenance is 1700

@TOP5RAPWEBSITE @Pokeshulk_ @its_adamneely Nope

@lorestraat @Pokeshulk_ @its_adamneely Also artists (musicians)

To the technocapitalist, a musician’s value is based on how cost effectively they can create a product that people consume. To them, GenAI is more efficient than humans at creating consumable products, therefore, it is better at music. the natural conclusion of free markets

@TOP5RAPWEBSITE @Pokeshulk_ @its_adamneely I'm talking about those 'writers and producers', idiot.

@lorestraat @Pokeshulk_ @its_adamneely She’s definitely an artist and a Grammy award winning artist at that

@TOP5RAPWEBSITE @Pokeshulk_ @its_adamneely Not an artist, try again

@lorestraat @Pokeshulk_ @its_adamneely here ya go

@TOP5RAPWEBSITE @Pokeshulk_ @its_adamneely Actually 0 professional artists use it.

@Pokeshulk_ @its_adamneely that’s your opinion. plenty of professional artists use it

@Fed_Not_Schizo @Wraithe42 @ChadNotChud I'm leaving it here as I stated. But thank you for the debate.

@lorestraat @Wraithe42 @ChadNotChud I do not see a reason to assume determinism just because of omniscient knowledge. I don’t see a strong argument for why if a future can be foretold that the cause of your actions must be external to yourself. Obviously they COULD be but I don’t see a particular reason to assume.

The Problem of Evil is one of the thorniest problems for the idea of an omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent God. Depicting your enemies as a redditor wojack unfortunately does not help resolve it

@Fed_Not_Schizo @Wraithe42 @ChadNotChud I see there's another continuing this debate and I don't want to dogpile you with 2 arguments. My point was not necessarily about will, but choice, and how in a sufficiently deterministic world where the future can be foretold, the cause to your choice is ultimately external.

@lorestraat @Wraithe42 @ChadNotChud I don’t think your will is equal to your desires. People resist various desires all the time, unless you redefine the word to mean something different to its normal definition. In which case you’ll have to let me know what that means in your context.

@Fed_Not_Schizo @Wraithe42 @ChadNotChud You can't will otherwise. It's not you that decides your desires. Those things are contingent on external factors beyond your control. From your biology, culture, family, the time you were born, the experiences you've had in life, all these things are what shape your will.

@lorestraat @Wraithe42 @ChadNotChud But I can will otherwise that’s the whole point lol. I can choose to eat lunch or skip it. The option is there and nothing outside of myself is forcing me to choose either option. Only I decide which option to take. No matter which option I choose I could do otherwise.

@Fed_Not_Schizo @Wraithe42 @ChadNotChud No, the presence of the OPTION to not eat lunch does not mean you have the ability to skip lunch. You either want to eat lunch or you don't. You can not will what you will. You do not have the ability to choose otherwise.

@lorestraat @Wraithe42 @ChadNotChud What someone will do, does not limit what they can do. I know I will get lunch today, does that mean I don’t have the ability to skip lunch? Of course not, and the same goes for knowledge from an omniscient being.

@Fed_Not_Schizo @Wraithe42 @ChadNotChud If they select right in this case then God isn't perfectly omniscient, you know that. If they can't choose right without contradicting God's omniscience, they must choose left. Ergo, they do not have the ability to choose.

@lorestraat @Wraithe42 @ChadNotChud The subject has the ability to select right despite an omniscient being knowing they will select left, as such it can be said that it is possible for the subject to select right.

@Fed_Not_Schizo @Wraithe42 @ChadNotChud True or false, it's possible for the subject to select right despite God predicting he'd go left.

@lorestraat @Wraithe42 @ChadNotChud Why then would you assume that knowledge of what they will choose removes their ability to do otherwise? For me to make that assumption I would need to see the mechanism by which their actions are then forced.

@Fed_Not_Schizo @Wraithe42 @ChadNotChud This is dangerously close to proving a negative for my liking. There's no reason to believe that I can spontaneously combust at any time just because we can't show it's not possible.

@lorestraat @Wraithe42 @ChadNotChud I’d argue you need to demonstrate why and how something isn’t possible in order to say that it lacks the ability to do something. So in the scenario there isn’t anything actually stopping the individual from choosing right if they have FW.

@Fed_Not_Schizo @Wraithe42 @ChadNotChud I'm not even saying they have to know whether or not they have FW. Just that it's identical to not having FW. Without an uncertain outcome, I don't even know how we can say a subject has an ability to choose if it's all predictable from even before that subject existed.

@lorestraat @Wraithe42 @ChadNotChud In this scenario I didn’t include anything to say whether or not the person choosing the hand would know for sure they had free will, mainly because that wasn’t the point of the illustration. It was limited in scope to cover the point I was making.

@Fed_Not_Schizo @Wraithe42 @ChadNotChud Yeah with tautology. I get that I opened myself up to that reply with asking from God's pov, but you knew what I was getting at. You say they have an ability to choose right. I've been asking how that can be distinguished from a subject without free will. Neither choose right.

@lorestraat @Wraithe42 @ChadNotChud I wasn’t making an argument with that response? I was stating a fact within the scenario. You asked how an omniscient being would be able to discern between a being with free will making a decision vs a being without it making a decision, if both outcomes are known. I answered.
