@sadmoonanalog I think we need more federal holidays idc what the occasion is. Every month should have at least one

im so trigger-happy rn ive started blocking people who say "[occupation] here"

@demiurgently really opened my eyes that pregnancy just affects women in wildly different ways and someone having a harder time has nothing to do with them being lazy or undisciplined or something
English
@demiurgently and now that i'm towards the end (33w) i am struggling to eat and gain weight bc of the physical discomfort on top of gestational diabetes making it even harder to eat anything. it's not like i'm avoiding the weight gain from superior self control, i can't even if i want to
English
i basically cant be in a calorie deficit & also breastfeed my baby, so i fall into the latter group
dont have a lot of patience for bros on here who insist women can just bounce back after pregnancy. sometimes doing a good thing for ur baby means looking chopped for a while
Mami@AnitaSmoke420
You know what I find funny. There's probably an equal 50/50 split for women who say breastfeeding helped them lose weight quicker vs those who say it made it harder to lose weight

@sgodofsk this is gonna make me sound so boomer but they also expect to be able to afford an apt with no roommates in a trendy city. i graduated with a pretty good starting salary and moved to rural Texas and it never occurred to me not to have roommates! I didn’t live alone til after 30

The fact that colleges have really nice food and expensive gyms and other nice amenities gives a rude awakening to new grads when they suddenly see their real consumption drop by 50% upon graduation. It makes them feel poor when they're not.

Sorry I’m about to go all “old lady shakes fist at sky” but when I was starting out it was a normal expectation that even upper middle class kids who went to private school (me) would spend a number of years living on ramen and similar.

@AlexGodofsky the doctors that you used to be able to pay to get your medical marijuana card can now pivot to offering Certified Gay cards!
English
This list of ways to prove you are gay is extremely funny, especially for what it leaves out.

California is pressuring public utilities to award $633M in contracts to "LGBT-owned" firms. The state's official gay-certification program has issued this checklist of documents to prove your status. And a warning: you'll go to jail if you misrepresent your sexual identity.

@ouranometrian2 ppl have a lot of weird incorrect beliefs about how no one had diseases in the past like cancers and heart disease etc. humans have always been suffering from those issues, we actually can survive them much better now!
English
I dont feel like fertility issues are more common now that in the past and here is my reasoning:
1: many people got diseases that we know today negatively affect fertility. People dont get those diseases in the first world.
2: there are a lot of fairy tales, folk tales, religious scripture, and prayers around fertility..or I should say lacking fertility. Seems like it must have been a common enough issue that we kept writing about it and praying to who ever about it
3: there are medical writings about various "treatments" for it from antiquity

@sadmoonanalog i tell my husband one of my favorite things about being with him is that i enjoy being with him just going to the grocery store. v true that the right person makes the mundane life stuff enjoyable
English
@SarAllyce @FattyNoNatty This is true the last time I tried halo top was like 10 years ago or something during a keto phase and it was so hard. I have been buying it recently (gestational diabetes 😭) and was shocked at how good the texture was
English
@SarAllyce right!! and i think of people like holly holm. looks insanely jacked when prepped for a fight etc but every woman would love to look like she does outside of the gym
English
@SarAllyce okay fr though i think these kinds of comparisons are so important bc girls who think "oh no too i don't want to look too muscular" about the left pic but would love to look like the right pic don't understand this
English
@SarAllyce @SagesBasics also you still build grip strength when doing lifts with straps! when i worked my deadlift up to almost 300 lbs i was doing the top sets with straps, and doing my warmups without, and by the end my warmups were higher than my earlier top sets without straps...

@sadmoonanalog I’m kind of obsessed with her I just think she has the best aura

There's two types of people when it comes to back tweaks
1) The Back Tweak Chad
"Coach I tweaked my back this weekend, planning on doing my prescribed weights because it'll probably make me feel better. If I need too I'll adjust loads or modify the lift to a tolerable level so I can keep training"
His back is better by the end of the week
2) The Perpetual Glassback
"Coach I felt some stiffness in my back this weekend! I booked an MRI with my doctor and he said it's likely a slipped disc or a subluxed pelvis. I need to stop lifting so heavy (his Deadlfit max is 215lbs) completely for a while and I'll circle back with you later"
Guy goes years without just getting strong
English
@sam_gzstrength i see people saying oh i got hurt doing deadlifts in starting strength and then they say they were 5x5 deadlifts
bruh
English
Most people never read or understand Starting Strength past the first "Phase"
Do some Willy nilly version of the lifts
squatting high, improper set up
Push pressing
Benching flat
And doing trap bar deadlifts because someone told them trap bars are better for their back
And drink a gallon of milk
Get fat, dont get strong, blame program and Rippetoe for being mean
Adrian Sanders@AdrianLSanders
@sam_gzstrength I feel like people just hear about SS or read one article, stop reading at the “5lbs per workout” part and write it off. I used to think “just read the book” was silly but then I read them and now I get it.
