Maybe not the most important meal of the day.
Quote:
Meta-analysis of the randomised controlled trials did not demonstrate weight loss in participants who consumed breakfast compared with those who did not. We also found that total daily energy intake was higher in groups consuming breakfast than in those skipping breakfast, regardless of whether the participants were habitual breakfast consumers or habitual breakfast skippers. The data do not support the assumption that omitting breakfast might lead to overconsumption of calories later in the day. Instead, they suggest that skipping breakfast might be an effective means to reduce total daily energy intake, and that skipping breakfast does not cause greater appetite in the afternoon.
Who would have guessed skipping a meal could help you lose weight.

Here is a real depth vid by someone who isn't Ilya, and also doesn't suck at being the best exerciser.
I don't WL, but isn't Lyu also not the best example because he's a squat jerker? Seems like deep squats would have more carry-over for him than for others.

Leg strength isn't the limiting factor for most people in either jerk or clean.

He also does a bunch of weird OHS variants to train for that specifically.

Lasha's squats above are about as physically deep as he can go. But the SHWs are a terrible example since they are depth limited via mobility (being too huge). Virtually everyone squats as low as they possibly can in WLing (except Ilya, who has like 105+ mobility).

I guess I should also start using these new silly weight classes.

I rarely watch youtube vids bc emoken, however I make a brief exception bc wl and it's a guy with somehow a giant but also terrible beard who spends time making a video response to... youtube comments? Totally meta, dude. k.

greg rio,
I don't eat breakfast, yet I am fat. Defies explanation. Science... is it just an opinion?

Dodger,
I'll bring it up at the next cabal meeting in K-azakhstan

Renton,
it's "Lu" wtf it's two letters... christ

Deeply,
I refuse to refer to the new categories until... maybe one more worlds. But it's DOPIN TIME bc 2020 so those will be boring, so maybe I won't refer to them until the olympics. Or maybe I'll wait to learn them until recategorization again after they ban all the genetically engineered Chinese 85s* (ICWIDT) who will snatch like 210 or whatever. K.

Hi folks,

Wanted to make sure I'm not being a sociopath again. Someone is standing behind the weight tree taking a video of someone else doing some exercise. I think it was snatches, but they could've been anything given how horrific the form was. Both were wearing sports bras. I'm quite busy, much like MLY. So I just walked in front of the girl filming and racked my weights. She gave some sort of weird sound, so I stood up and stared blankly for a moment, then finished racking my weights.

This is normal right?

Normal behavior would be to say "excuse me" as you do it. It's an empty courtesy but some people care about that stuff. You aren't obliged to wait for them to finish nor ask permission to rack the plate.

Maybe you just need to work on your grunt back game.

If you just flat stared back that is kinda odd and yes to Renton.

Also, did you explicitly know what you were doing? Could you have chosen to walk on the other side but chose not to because it saved you a few steps?

Correct. I am not you and am vaguely aware of my surroundings.

Personally I have very little patience for people who lack situational awareness, unnecessarily impede others, and disregard the unwritten rules. These folks do not deserve any courtesy unless they offer it first, i.e "sorry [I'm blocking this **** that everyone else has a right to use and I could accomplish my task while not blocking said ****]."

The first time I read that as if DM had purposefully inserted himself in between someone surreptitiously filming so they couldn't shame the person with bad form.

One of my new hobbies is sitting right next to people on the metro who are taking up too much space right after leaving the gym - yesterday I got a guy to abandon the aisle entirely. But I'd probably let the person keep filming if it wasn't an extreme imposition.

AIOTT,

That is a whole new world of assuming the best in people. I learned from jdcok that assuming people are out to cause us harm is a defensive trait that was cultured from evolutionary biology. Might wanna reinforce that trait through selective breeding otherwise you could end up not having past on your genes!!!

The person was asked to film by the person doing the snatches. I realized after the fact that it was kinda mean to the person doing the snatches. Only misgiving I really have to girl doing the snatches is taking her shirt off before doing them. I find this sort of behavior very confusing: What is socially appropriate? If she takes her shirt off and starts doing SLDLs in front of me am I suppose to get aroused? Will she be offended if I don't? I'm concerned she would feel I find her repulsive.

Should really just get the garage gym and never deal with these complex social interactions.

DM,

It is ok. Due to enforced cultural monogamy, even low fitness males like AIOTT will probably get a chance to mate. As for the future things aren’t so clear. According to some, polygyny may be making a comeback. So all us beta males need to enjoy the good times while we can, cause our days may be numbered.

Taper's responsible for not getting in anyone else's way and moving mid-video if it comes up. Expressionless stare is a bit weird but since I'd find anything up to "The **** do you think you're doing?" an appropriate, non-psychotic, reaction to realizing your tree was being blocked, meh. Other than going ape **** and whacking her, the only really psycho move would be to go out of your way to photo bomb it like walking past another tree to use that one.


I once asked a jacked girl at the gym why she sometimes went shirtless with a pretty skimpy sports bra on; "I get hot, ***hole." also followed by staring blankly at me (so maybe she's psycho). I never believe anything women tell me though, so probably flirting.

I'm sure we can tell you exactly how aroused you should get if you post pics.

Since I work from home indefinitely I never have to interact with anyone and I can stay dadbod fit! What a dream!

Do you think that would work for a dude who wanted to lift in a dong thong? Maybe just a Pisarenko style singlet?

Yugo,

I'm azn. So maybe I am aroused and she doesn't realize it and thinks I'm not!!! Can someone have N1 take a look at this question and help out?

I like farting on my commute.

Two Daily Mail readers sat opposite me a few years ago. I farted, and it was one of my better efforts. The bloke shouted out: "Whoever did that should be ashamed!" I chuckled a lot, and felt proud.
