Omg, if one more new client of mine tells me in their questionnaire that they’re on a keto diet and then goes on to outline a high protein, low fat diet I’m going to smash my laptop.

There are some health conditions where keto can be pretty miraculous, but in general it’s nothing special when it comes to fat loss and it involves a pretty major life overhaul for most people.

I constantly hear it applied to very low carb diets and it makes me angry.

No one understands that if your protein intake is more than 30% of your calories then your ass is glycolytic.

And this is where I got fucked up on keto - well, really with the fat content. If you commit to 70% fats and then fuck it up with carbs, you’re in a bad place.

Just convince yourself your kids and their friends will use it all - saving you thousands in gym fees!

One of my retirement dreams is to volunteer to do strength training for a local high school team. I want to volunteer because then I can just do whatever I want without risk of someone firing me or holding a paycheck over my head. Be curious how liabilities will come into play though.

My kid likes watching me lift. They confuse the words “heavy” and “strong” though, so it’s pretty funny. Sometimes, I get a compliment like “Dad, you can’t go on this slide; you’re too strong” and other times they’ll see me lift something and go “Wow dad you’re REALLY heavy”

Generally liability has a give and take relationship. You give your knowledge, advice, etc and take a paycheck. If you’re just volunteering your expertise then you shouldn’t be liable.

But you shouldn’t be liable if someone breaks into your house and gets hurt and yet we’ve seen that lawsuit.

I wouldn’t be too worried about liability if the school supported you. Just look at the idiots training kids in high school now. Clearly schools aren’t worried about being sued for hiring an idiot. Why would they worry about a volunteer?

This guy gets it.

@T3hPwnisher if you think CA has tort issues, be thankful you’ve never been in West Virginia. They have more lawyers than coal miners in that damn state. It is the most plaintiff friendly state ever. There are doctors that won’t practice in the state and insurers that won’t write policies.

What kind of cake did the lawyer ask for on his birthday? A tort…

Have you considered getting your kid into a strength sport like powerlifting or strongman in the future?

Or maybe even weightlifting.

I would like them to use lifting to augment a more mainstream sport. Ideally a team sport. Feel like a lot more lessons can be learned that way. Ironsports are for when you are too washed up for real sports, haha.

After years of suggesting to my fourteen year old daughter that she should accompany me to the gym, she has found the weight room at high school on her own.

She’s a big kid and I always saw her as a strength athlete. Well, this year, as a freshman, she found out that Winter track doesn’t cut anybody and she wanted a Varsity windbreaker, so she joined up. The only female strength athlete is a stud of a sophomore who was glad to have a training partner. So now I get to listen to my daughter talk about how her arms are jelly after “arms day.” They squat, flip tires, push ups, sit ups, candlesticks, lemon squeezes - Love it.

Today a christian tried to convince me into coming to a church session,
I tried to argue with some points he made but he kept interrupting me. Now comes the good stuf…
He then proceeded to compare jesus christ, to none other then adolf hitler.
“They both did stuff for they’re people out of love.”

Good stuff :slight_smile:
