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

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By CRA · Posted

      I think in all honestly, the final 2 games are carrying most of the weight in a lot of Bryce talk IMO.    During the window where he "blew it out of the water" window......were a lot of games where he was not above average.  AZ is largely one of those stat sheet games.   Where the stat sheet reflects QB play that didn't exist in the game.  That game was all Chuba.  Meh vs Dallas.  Meh vs Philly.  Meh vs Giants.  Probably average vs Tampa, Den, Saints.  Bryce made HUGE strides vs what he was.  We should be happy.   But when you start comparing him to the rest of the league.....people I think are going too far.  His best aspect in reality.....is his scrambling.  And that's probably not a great thing give his size.

      some love for Cade Mays

      Mays and Zavala looked lost in the Reich offense.  Granted Zalava was probably playing too soon due to injuries but he looked terrible.  This new staff seems to be doing well with our OL.  I also wonder if having two vets in Hunt and Lewis just made life that much easier on whoever was/is playing center.
