Confession: My password for this website is very weak by modern standards. I created it long, long ago when capitals, numbers, special characters weren’t required. I like typing it in, Its kind of a throw back to a bygone era when we didnt worry about identity theft and kept things simple.

I think if you’ve walked a path then you’re qualified to give advice to those that follow. It doesn’t matter the topic or experience or if you succeeded or failed. Experience counts.
And there’s a difference between giving advice and orders.

Very true
If it’s advice then it’s well and truely up too the receiver what they choose to do with that. That’s where the internet is a difficult place to take it considering so much of what is said could be utter bullshit.
I know a personal trainer who has competed for years,… badly, but still fancies herself a contest coach to people who have never competed before. I’d argue that her experience certainly doesn’t count for much.

Hmm sounds kinda up yourself if you deem yourself worthy to give out advice…
Good advice is good advice. Could come from Boris Sheiko or your grandma. Is still good advice. So…when you got good advice I guess?

I think there’s a difference between giving advice (for example, on a weightlifting website) and holding yourself out as a professional.
I tend to jump in when middle-aged, sedentary guys are looking for guidance, when beginners ask about GOMAD, and when people ask about high-fat diets. I try and relate my errors and what I did to course-correct while maintaining that mine isn’t the only way, just one of many ways. I think I’m qualified to give advice in the narrow areas I described above and the OPs are welcome to ignore it but maybe some piece of it resonates with them.

And that’s where people cross into using (mostly) social media for personal gain. She could give great advice about what not to do if she recognized that she’s not God’s gift to the world.

Yep…I can think of several well known coaches whom have benefited from this.Just saying, I can think of several coaches that have made a name for themselves, But I know a few other coaches that are just as accomplished and Knowledgeable, whom people are not aware of because those guys are too busy actually training people and not whoring on social media.
Confessions:
7 years ago I took an OTC pro hormone for 4 weeks while I was at university. I still call myself ‘natural’
I don’t like squats. I’m quite good at them, relative as these things are, but they always feel awkward.
Counter confession:
My password for every site, and everything requiring a password, is the same. And also relatively weak.

One thing I find very annoying is websites have started allowing user to use services before verifying the email account.
So far, I have found I have a number of services set up “waiting authorisation” but were being actively used. This includes Ashley Madison. Do you know how fake it sounds to say someone used your email to set this up if a partner finds out? LOL Keep in mind Ashley Madison also leaked user information.
Anyway, I’m responding to this because I used to do the same thing until every single friggen website started leaking passwords everywhere. Then bots picked up the passwords and try them on every website everywhere in about .0001 seconds.
It’s too much a pain in the arse to have the same password everywhere.
I don’t. The GIFs load last so you can miss them with crap internet.
I feel sorry for people with old phones that would crawl to a halt after loading the fuckers.

Haagen Dazs Vanilla Bean: CREAM, SKIM MILK, CANE SUGAR, EGG YOLKS, GROUND VANILLA BEANS, VANILLA EXTRACT
The best days are when I have 400 or so calories left after dinner and have met my protein needs for the day.
It is cold (How do they make ice cream that doesn’t feel cold?). It is creamy without having a strangely soft texture. It isn’t overly sweet or have a bitterness to it. It isn’t blemished with candies, cookies or God knows what through it.
This is God tier ice cream for stuff that isn’t made in tiny quantities/hard to find/costs a mint/etc (plain vanilla is also acceptable).

I doubt it. Unsuccessful people typically don’t know why they failed. But they think they do. That’s why they remain unsuccessful.
I would, however, like advice on how to be successful on social media(if she’s really successful in that area.).
