The way she sees it, she already has a nice ass(and she's right) so that's not something she should 'waste time' on.  

 

I've never met a girl who thinks working on their ass is a waste of time. Maybe she one of the lucky few.  In that case congrats to you.

One thing I hate about people at the gym is how many will just overload on cardio and not do any other kind of exercise.  Probably because they don't know how.  Yes using the elliptical for 30 minutes will burn calories but that's about it...

True, however there is cardio that you can do that builds muscle too.

We both have always been naturally skinny but years of bad habits have caught up with us.  I've taken the approach of wanting to get healthy and fit whereas she just wants to look like she did 15 years ago.

This is true to a point.  You need to balance the cardio with strength building exercises.  Too much of one won't get the same results.  

 

Funny story, I actually took a picture at my gym on a Sunday afternoon once....every single treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike and stairclimber was taken.  Probably a grand total of 40-50 people.  Those machines take up half the gym.  The rest of the gym - mats, free weights, weight machines (including row machines, rope pulls and crunch machines), TRX machine, pool, etc, had a grand total of 5 people using it.  I was just shaking my head.  I think people like cardio because it's easy and you can shut off your brain while you do it and just listen to music.  Doing the weights and other things require a plan and thinking, and people don't like to use their brains at the gym.

For real... we must have gotten all the rejects from hepcat's gym... all the bros that do curls in the squat rack and move around machine to machine leaving weights on in their trail...

 

Haha it's not all the time, most weekdays when I go I have to wait to use a bench in the free weights section or to use more popular weight machines.  I just go at the right hours to avoid the rush.  Cardio is almost always slammed though.

I feel that many people have a misconception of protein.

A lot of people I know think they can down chicken breasts to be lean with no other help, which clearly based on their appearance, is not working for them.

I am vegetarian, and I always get funny looks and asked "how do you get your protein?"

People don't realize that amino acids are key in making proteins work.

My cup of quinoa trumps their chicken breasts with all essential amino acids and a nice fiber content.

While grains are my friend, I look for the stamp and I aim for 100g daily at the VERY least.

Fat is good. If you don't consume fat you will die.

Eating 6 meals a day doesn't make your metabolism faster. The reason why you lose weight is because those 6 meals keep you filled up and you are eating less calories.

Calories in vs calories burned is the only true path to cutting.

Yep, you want to go for the healthy fats like omega-3

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
