[QUOTE=Plateauplower;1636427933]I’ve noticed an increase in younger females actually training. [/QUOTE]

It's all about the booty these days. At my covid gym, I see women there for over an hour doing nothing but squats and lunges and a variety of hip thrusts and booty-specific stuff. My main gym is a college gym with a lot of athletes. They're doing lots of cleans and deadlifts and squats. You will see them bench press and do some other upper body. Don't recall seeing pull-ups. A lot of the other college girls are doing hip thrusts and lunges. Honestly, I think hip thrusts is the #1 exercise I see women doing. My wife does an full body workout, but does include hip thrusts.

I've been working out at college gyms for many years. There was a definite shift about the time of the advent of crossfit. Cleans and deadlifts became way more popular all of a sudden. Still popular along with squats. You do see guys benching of course. Some isolation work. A lot of people of both sexes doing kettle bells and various mobility movements and jumping around.

At my covid gym I do see quite a few upper only guys. Which I guess I am these days.

You almost never see anyone under 60 on the machines. I take that back, you do see some girls and a few guys do what looks like a quick circuit with machines, not a bad idea if you want to get in and out quick and do a little something for general health. But you can grab a machine any time. The 10 squat racks with platforms are always jammed with people waiting.

Don't think I've seen anyone on an exercise ball at either gym, but maybe I'm not in the section where they do that.

Like I said, with the popularity of crossfit and the emphasis on the booty most women I see are doing actual lifting if they bother to lift at all.

Yes, especially since you are finnish. They all tall there for some reason.

I don't want to lose weight and I'm one of the healthest bulls around, weight "loss" is an overrated thing when measuring health of someone who lifts regularly.

I know plenty and I mean plenty of unhealthy people who are jacked up and ripped and there are those very skinny unhealthy people too.

If someone isn't carrying around 30 or more extra pounds, they will be healthier for it. You can't argue that.

Extra Fat does not make you a healthier person... If you believe that it does, you probably have too much fat between your ears.

My post says someone who lifts regularly, and the majority of the population does not train as well as I do, even most serious folk use questionable supplements and other BS like creatine.

Also when it comes to "rolling" your biggest fear other than a small guy with great cardio, is a big guy with excellent cardio.

Lifting regularly doesn't give you a free pass that exempts you from obesity related diseases. Stop kidding yourself.

It's almost certain that it was from bats, but likely not directly and not from eating a bat. It's likely it went through another host first, but not a pangolin as was thought last year. Nobody knows what the intermediate host was.

[QUOTE=mtpockets;1623478861]Just for sh!ts and giggles lets say a vaccine for covid is available early next month. Will you be rolling up your sleeve or turning the other cheek?







I won't be first in line to say jab me with a rushed vaccine, besides if all you fukers get it I shouldn't have too. Until then I will rely on social distance, my mask apparel and newly acquired hand washing skills to keep me safe.

How about you?[/QUOTE]

I know this is a kind of old thread. However, I am very Immuno deficient. So besides the social distancing and my designer mask collection ya know. In January I got my first shot. In February of course I got my second. I got mine through the Dept of VA of course.

What really makes me smh is the logistic cf of the deployment of the vaccine in some states. That is a whole different topic and box of snakes.

Don’t you lift like once a week :confused: Creatine is legit and being researched for many medicinal and cognitive applications.

I agree you look much better at rolling than someone who is fit. Being round is definitely a benifit when it comes to rolling.

I was reading or watching something about it and it looks really promising for some of the neuromuscular degenerative diseases and also looking at it for helping prevent Alzheimer’s. Maybe it’s just a false correlation because many of us old fuks who take creatine don’t get Alzheimer’s due to all of these mentally stimulating convos about rolling and teeth lifting in the 035 misc :p

Yeah horrible disease, it’s not good for the relatives of the person that’s for sure. That said, my wife’s grandma had it toward the end of her life and seemed happy as a clam. She was also blind as a bat. She liked having some cold Coors originals and listening to Cubs games and old westerns. She always seemed like she was having the time of her life the few times I met her srs. Was seemingly locked in eternal blissfulness, I know some can be kinda of unpredictable, mean etc.

LWW was talking about rolling, and I’m only guessing he means like down a hill on the ground.

Yeah I’ve known a few who the condition made it really hard on their families/caregivers. Definitely a terrible scary disease. “Luckily” heart disease seems to take out my lineage before that hurdle.

It’s regularly by definition if it’s once per week. It’s just not enough frequency to be of much benefit in terms of muscular development, strength, aesthetics, or overall health. I could see keeping my teeth lifting to once per week for a variety of reasons. Moderation is good with everything, but once per week for lifting is just lazy.

How often do you go “rolling” and how many times do you walk back up the hill?

No idea. We know more about space than the deep ocean and that’s not much. We know very little about the brain or consciousness, it’s probably better that we don’t. Look up CAS9 protein and CRISPR, things are going to get weird. It’s pretty much the holy grail. Could be used for good or bad.

Was just reading about creatine and neurodegeneration prevention possibilities. Might have to start taking creatine again. Thanks for the heads up.

It’s amazing how the same simple chemical bonds in things like willow bark (asprin) or even an amino acid could do such amazing things. “Vitamin” D is also really neat, mostly because “scientists” call it a vitamin

I find it really hard to even entertain that it didn’t. At the same time, I don’t care, I don’t think it was intentional. I think that most people capable of that kind of research are smart enough to understand the implications. It’s not laborer work, and most people looking for money could do it other ways more easily.

If it came from the lab, which is possible, it's definitely a bat-based virus. The viruses they were working on were taken from bats. Where it was between the bat and humans is what is unknown. Maybe it was the lab, most likely through another animal. They now don't think it was the animals at the market.

The lab was sampling bats and humans in the area in 2017, suggested that previous SARS viruses came from a certain cave there, and warned 4 years ago that another spillover event into people could happen.
