Samesies.
Plus I honestly think it’s not worth the effort. If you wanted it to be easy to read, you could just as well change the layout so one can comprehend it without putting any effort into it. The logical consequence for me is, that you don’t care if one actually reads and comprehends your workouts. So by not putting effort into it I would ablige and follow this train of thought
You know I was kidding right
Yes, but I’m old and grumpy.
Yes but I’m a little less old and all the more grumpy, haha.
Nah but the points we made still stand
Humble brag right here.
Mentally I am “these damn kids are on my lawn again” - old. My passport says otherwise though. Well and I am poor and posses no lawn.
You’re regressing. Don’t you think it’s strange that all proven programs have rest days and your custom programs have work every single day?
That’s not a cheat. You should be hitting 2k minimum every single day with your activity level.
Do you not realize how hard it must be for Pwn to read these posts of yours, where you destroy yourself by trying to emulate him?
All of them have rest days from lifting- mine does too. The ones I’ve seen all recommend 2-3 days of conditioning it weighted walks, prowler, bike.
Unfortunately my metabolism has adapted. I’m trying to get it to adapt upwards, but it doesn’t seem to be responding
That’s why I stopped tagging him. If I have a question, I ask in his log
That’s simply not true. You’re being selective with your reading.
How are you trying to make it adapt upwards? Usually that requires eating a lot of food. Why would your metabolism improve while being starved?
Not the point I was making.
In fact, the opposite effect of what Anna wants will happen. A starved metabolism slows down to hang on to what little energy it can for as long as it can. Just saw a video by John Meadows who stated that when he is about to prep someone for contest shape (note - a shape no one should be for long periods at a time) he will spend a week or two feeding them extra calories to trigger the metabolism up, then, when he diets them down, they can lose weight faster.
I’ve read a lot about reverse dieting and had doe it myself when I took calories from 1400 to 2k in school. For some reason, my metabolism decided to slow down after coming to florida when this COVID shit started
Too much work, not enough food…
Your body has a supply and demand problem
Metabolism doesn’t make decisions. It’s our bodies in->out energy process.
It’s all very cut and dry actually.
I went from 2k to 1700 because I was noticing steady weight gain at 2k whereas I had been maintaining at 2k before. This is a very big (if not the biggest) source of frustration. I’m guessing it’s likely due to the reduced energy demands of not hitting heavy weights and less hills/stairs
personification
Anna has been told all of this before guys. It’s not the paradigm she wants, so she won’t accept it.
I’m just extremely, extremely frustrated at what’s happening.
I shouldn’t have randomly gained weight specifically after coming to Florida
He knows that. The point being that it isn’t “for some reason” or something that’s out of your control. Your language is designed to relinquish your control over a process you are fully able to understand and manipulate.
But thats the goal though, right?
Which is ironic for someone that talks about how much they like control.
The difference is that I started gaining at an intake I had previously been maintaining at vs intentionally upping calories specifically to gain weight
I don’t quite know how to get this point across online
Again: frustration implies a lack of control.
