classic post
goolePosted: September 4, 2014 at 12:38:38 PMhad another interaction a long while ago that kind of stuck with me.
it was later at night and it was just me and this other dude. i hadn't seen him before, he did not seem very experienced, was not particularly strong, and his whole mien suggested he wasn't psyched to be down there anyway. he was just kind of shuffling from spot to spot, trying this and that.
this was during a period where, i gather, a faction of this Y's patrons had successfully prevented the administration from replacing the broken radio receiver; silence being preferable to some than the threat of the station being changed from 90s, 2k and today to something harder. so it was dead quiet.
we happened to come up to the rack at the same time with some plates, and he was juuust about to put a 25 on the 45 peg that i needed, so i said, in as neutral a tone of voice as possible, "no, that one goes on the other side". i think he just mouthed "ah" and then craned it around to where it belonged, looking a little more defeated.
thing is, this whole time, the guy had been whistling, quietly. on and off, idly. the same 8-note figure. mozart i think? not eine kleine nachtmusik but something equally elemental. something from the magic flute? i knew i recognized it. only, i only realized i recognized it after i realized i had also started to idly whistle it too. as soon as i realized it i realized i had no idea how long i'd been doing it, before or after the plate incident or what.
i never saw the guy again. he probably thought the psychotic mimicking whistler scold was too much. or, that the place was a dump.

i like how this thread is not overly dominated by dudes because i started it and that makes me feel better about it. i never go to the gym anymore though so i don't belong. i mean i go like, on sundays.

I love doing overhead presses with kbs - the movement tracks very comfortably for me.

i dont think putting the running and lifting threads on the same bord wld attract tons of dudes fwiw i mean its all the same posters on ilxor.com but w/e was just a thought i have no personal intention of carrying through on, tho it might be nice to be able to see all fitness threads together

I asked my pilates instructor if it would be possible to swap out one of the exercises where we are basically grinding our crotches into the ground. I'm the only man who takes the class, so I guess she hadn't taken into account the potential difficulty.
Well, I guess I got what I wanted. Now while all the women in the room are driving their hips into their mats, I am on my back, rhythmically thrusting my pelvis into the air.It is awkward.

Back into this and confused about protein intake advice. 1g/lb of bodyweight sounds insane/impossible. I don't really eat much as it is.. more of a grazer.. but even at my hungriest i don't think i could down 5 cans of tuna or whatever.
― Treeship, Thursday, 2 October 2014 17:20 (nine years ago) link
prob not ness unless ur trying to get huge just do a protein shake directly after workout then eat a protein rich meal sometime soonish after and that will help feed ur muscles
― lag∞n, Thursday, 2 October 2014 17:24 (nine years ago) link
Yeah i just want to address my body composition and gain no weight because i think my weight is pretty good as it is. Going to cut down on croissants, beer, and other stuff like that though so maybe protein uptake will just naturally increase through better eating habits. Feel very averse to the idea of scrutinizing what i eat though the way some people seem too.. controlling calorie intake within small margins of error etc
― Treeship, Thursday, 2 October 2014 17:27 (nine years ago) link
there's always this

seems a little nuts to give it that much worry tho
― goole, Thursday, 2 October 2014 17:30 (nine years ago) link
ya tbh lifting will redistribute yr weight regardless of if u change ur diet but at least try to do the post workout shake cause that will help too

imo this is a useful thing to do for a lil while at least just from an educational and awareness perspective even tho its def pretty neurotic u can learn/notice a lot
― lag∞n, Thursday, 2 October 2014 17:32 (nine years ago) link
lol stronglifts is the program i am starting. i like the fact that the few compound exercises theoretically work "everything" for a beginnner but am not sure how heavy i'll end up going.

start slow m8 so u dont get injured

1g/lb of bodyweight sounds insane/impossible.
it's v doable if you have go-to things. i'm vegetarian and i eat over 200 g per day ~$7 for my protein sources.
― een, Friday, 3 October 2014 00:02 (nine years ago) link
how? i hear almonds are a good source of protein and one lil packet of them has like 6g. today i ate a smoothie with spinach and watermelon, a packet of almonds, an omelet, two pieces of toast, some hash browns, coffee with skim milk. now i am going to have some salmon and brown rice. that's like 80 grams of protein, and i had protein with every meal.
― Treeship, Friday, 3 October 2014 00:10 (nine years ago) link
i have never been able to consistently get that much and i eat meat 2x/day now. i can get to like 150 but not even that every day. i weigh too much. but people think i weigh 150 and my license says that.

greek yogurt with a scoop of protein powder

feel like theres a cult around protein that is prob not as soundly grounded in science as its proponents wld have u think
― lag∞n, Friday, 3 October 2014 01:03 (nine years ago) link
When I thought I wanted to be vegan I read some books and was convinced protein was a bunch of hype and i could get enough from broccoli. Now that I decided I should gain a little muscle, idk
― Treeship, Friday, 3 October 2014 01:08 (nine years ago) link
yeah i am probably good at like 120g. i like to eat enough fat too. when i didn't eat meat or fat i felt hungry and dead all the time and was like "idk why i'm always hungry, oh well." lol.
― flatizza (harbl), Friday, 3 October 2014 01:16 (nine years ago) link
meat is so good and satiating

ive been trying to lose some weight recently and eating very little and its weird i havent really felt any drop off in energy in my workouts, maybe eating is not necessary
