I really wish for the executives pushing AI to be sentenced for life!

The problem is that people scroll at work and in public. Regardless of what we as individuals enjoy, proper tagging just helps everyone browse responsibly

I mean half of cis men are afraid of eating vegetables because they think it will estrogenize them. I would be beyond surprised if any cis men have tried a week of HRT

Closest I can find: supplement huckster/wannabe vampire Bryan Johnson takes 8mg per week of some particular type of “non-feminizing estradiol” which he claims doesn’t affect him in any perceptible way but made rats live 16% longer in some study.

But I just don’t know if we’re gonna be able to track down exactly what we’re looking for. My 2c, everyone I know who takes it had an amazing experience and totally transformed in a positive way, and not just physically. But it is a serious decision, so I get doing as much research as possible first. Wishing you the best of luck!

Right on! Best of luck to you

Again no pressure or expectations or anything, just throwing some stuff out there for whoever may be curious - The basic thing with exercise selection is you want to make sure “the big six” are represented somewhere in your routine each week. These are movement patterns, and not specific exercises with specific implements (you could use bodyweight, or dumbbells, or barbells, or a machine, or rig up one of your resistance bands, or a bucket of water, or a big rock, etc.)

The big six are namely:

Horizontal push (like a bench press, or a chest fly, or pushups)

Horizontal pull (like a seated row)

Vertical push (like an overhead press)

Vertical pull (like pull-ups, or lat pulldowns)

Squat (like goblet squats, or lunges)

Hinge (like deadlifts, RDLs, back extensions, or hip thrusts)

There’s really about a thousand ways to set up for each of these! You’ll notice that any “proven” program you find online will have something from each category. You probably also want to add some core (crunches, leg lifts) and some cardio like the other user suggested. Stuff like bicep curls, leg extensions, and other single joint isolation movements are great if you want to focus a particular area. Not a huge priority though if you’re tight on time

The main thing is, whatever the specific exercises you end up going with - you want these movements to be performed safely, but at the same time still be quite challenging, so make sure to carefully check a technique video if you have any doubts. You also want a way to “scale” the movement over time as you get stronger

Rule of thumb is you want to aim for a resistance you can perform at least ten repetitions with, and when you get strong enough to where you can do like 17 or 18 reps then increase the resistance a little bit and start the process over. Most people will notice this process starts to slow down a lot after a year or two - there’s really no pressure to keep chasing higher numbers after this point unless you just really love pushing yourself!

Oh, and you also probably want to perform 2 or 3 sets of each exercise before moving on to the next.

There’s tons of valid ways to progress but this one is pretty foolproof. After a few months, if you’re very confident with a movement pattern you can start using heavier rep ranges like 8-12 or 6-10. Or you can go lighter if it’s more convenient for your setup. Pretty much any rep range works between 5 and 30

And yeah for food basically just get your veggies, reasonable amount of carbs and fats, and shoot for a decent protein goal, usually like 70-100g per day is plenty, it’s okay to go higher though if that feels better. Eat a little more or a little less food overall if you want your weight to go up or down. Be really really really careful with any nutritional suggestions that are more complicated than that. There’s an unlimited amount of scammers out there, unfortunately, who will try to sell you on various schemes

Definitely, yeah you didn’t say anything wrong! I just try to aim for max clarity on the point. I hear frequently from trainees IRL and people on various forums that they thought they didn’t need to train lower body because it was already covered by running or whatever.

It’s become a pet peeve of mine so I try to nip it in the bud whenever possible!

Cardio is good for almost everyone (ramp into it slowly if it’s been many years!). I would note however that while the benefits overlap, they are not the same. I focus my outreach on resistance training (anaerobic exercise) primarily because it’s often overlooked and misunderstood. I would hope nobody walks away from this thinking they can do either resistance training or sessions on an exercise bike and achieve all the same health outcomes

Not sure if you’re genuinely asking at the end there, but you’re probably not doing anything wrong!

As someone who is not a doctor (check with one and go with what they say): you’re at the age where sarcopenia starts accelerating rapidly. And from your description it sounds like the most likely cause for your symptoms. It affects basically everyone so this is somewhat of a safe assumption

The good news is you can pretty much totally reverse all the effects with resistance training and a couple diet changes to support your training. What we’ve found is that many people even up into their 80’s can be restored to strength similar to that of an average (untrained) 30 year old. Which is a supermassive win in terms of quality of life and independence

The bad news is that about 90% of people hear “exercise and eat healthy” and just roll their eyes like it’s a cliché, unobtainable ideal that everyone knows they should do but nobody does. Or they think they are already doing it, but they don’t realize they need resistance training specifically. It’s also common for people to believe they have somehow “missed the boat” on training because they aren’t twenty anymore (I’ve even heard 28 year olds say this).

But the therapeutic dose for training is very attainable. Don’t need to become a gym bro. Don’t need to obsess over gains. Like 2x a week, one hour each, could probably get it done in 40 mins once you really know what you’re doing. And it’s very worth doing, you get back the time investment about tenfold just from the increase in energy

But yeah, just wanted to throw it out there for you or for anybody feeling the same way who might end up thinking they want to give training a chance! For disclosure I am a trainer at a local gym but I don’t have an online service or anything to sell on lemmy. As such I’m happy to answer any questions and offer suggestions on how to get started

Can you elaborate on the coffee soda? Is that just if you mix coffee and soda?

You can probably dismiss the notification without rejecting the call, that way it maximally wastes their time but you can keep doomscrolling in peace!

That’s not just a fabulous insight, it’s a powerful revelation!

Plus, shouldn’t he want that information to be front and center anyway if he actually thinks it’s a good thing?

Thank you for posting multiple layers of content!

I have a 6 year old iphone. And the literal only enticing feature of the new ones is that the base models have 4x the storage space lol

Did a little digging, apparently in a 2021 lawsuit, documents were released with bad redactions (they blacked out over the data, but the underlying information was still able to be highlighted and copied/pasted. Very common error when redacting PDFs)

I haven’t checked the data myself but according one user this was the breakdown:

“Total staff as of 2021: 336 people

Administration: 35 people making an average of 4.5 million a year

Game Developers: 181 people making an average of 1 million a year

Steam Developers: 79 people making an average of 960k a year

Hardware Developers: 41 people making average of 430k a year”

Normally I would guess that “average” here probably means a few people making a ton of money while others get shafted. But I think “admin” probably accounts for that. We have no official way of knowing the true breakdown since this info is not supposed to be public

We’ve come such a long way from beans

Well hey thanks for helping him get off the ground! I forget which, but one of his “unremarkable places” videos went viral and that’s how I first got on board

Oh awesome breakdown thank you! We have quite a few in common actually, looking forward to checking the others out! It’s funny, Any Austin was actually the first person that came to my mind. I feel like anything he talks about he just breathes so much life into the subject

Sometimes experimental/improv groups can basically make an album a day if they put their mind to it. Often live recorded with minimal post processing. It’s far from mainstream but it can be surprisingly popular among the right audiences.

Haven’t checked out this particular project but it’s possible

No silly, I hate computers for ruining music, remember? No wonder you like AI so much, neither you nor it is capable of continuity lmao

Oh you’re still going? Kinky. Develop the story a little more for me. What instrument do I play? Am I homeless?
