My ankles broke just looking at this

Okay but to be fair, Joe Jagoff does have some exciting ideas about instability training.

Spinal Tap?

My RPE scale goes to 11. 

What kind of soap/body wash are you using? Some soaps are too gentle to cut through sunscreen films (like Olay, Dove or bath products marketed as gentle for sensitive skin). I use Cetaphil gentle formula bar soap, and it’s strong enough to remove things like sunscreen films, but most gentle formulas bath products aren’…

(so) Georgia sucks. Georgia is well on its atavistic journey to becoming The Handmaids Tale. Georgia should be shunned. If you can use USPS or Fedex instead of UPS (headquartered in Georgia). Try to avoid Home Depot (headquartered in Georgia). And (i know it’s tough for some) switch to Pepsi (as Coca Cola is…

Leave me and my vegan cat alone, asshole. Just because he looks like he’s dying, doesn’t mean he’s not happy living cruelty free!!

Good, solid, simple points! Generally speaking, the primary reason to methodically count calories would be only if someone is on an extremely specific, medically prescribed calorie-restriction program dealing with something like extreme obesity. Minding your nutrition intake is of course vital, but best when done in a…

2.8x isn’t really that huge when you’re dealing with such small numbers. If you replace a pound of fat with a pound of muscle, you will burn an extra 8 calories per day.

2.8x more metabolically active is huge. What are you talking about? For most people the goal isn’t losing mass, its losing fat. Body recomposition by building muscle in place of the lost fat is a good way of staying lean in the long run. Personally my BMR after I finished my recomp has increased by nearly 400 calories…

They’re not assisted, and 0 to 5 takes a TON of work. If you think you can do better, start your own Instagram and if we like you we’ll get in touch with your trainer too. ;) 

It’s not just vaginas! There was a bodybuilder in my dorm when I was in college who basically only ate meat as part of some weird 0% body fat diet. He was stunningly gorgeous, intelligent, and charming. He got tons of one-night stand tail but could never hold down a girlfriend. Why? It was openly discussed (behind his…

Absolutely, failure is an essential, integral part of strength training. And physiologically, it is what causes muscle growth - those muscle fibers being taken past their natural limits, breaking down and reforming stronger. However, I see a ton of shit form and sloppy lifting at my gym that is presumably carried out…

Other than a few minutes of light cardio to warm up, I can’t think of a good reason to combine weight and cardio training on the same day, unless you’re working out once per week.

Exactly. Most people who start exercising and stick with it will see some amount of weight loss assuming their diet stays the same or improves. If you tried program X for 6 months and lost weight, good for you, but that doesn’t mean that program X is magical and you couldn’t have done the same on program Y.

yet another display of “Yay Progressive Whites!” with the subsequent back-patting for calling out an obviously grotesque moment in American history on national television, yet doing nothing else about its historical effects on the community today.

Social responsibility doesn’t always mean giving people the answers... Sometimes, it means letting the gullible ones take the bait. Don’t help them out, dude. If people want to believe in ankle scarves, or be outraged by these imaginary items, you need to just let these hapless lobsters cook in the slow-boiling water…

I have to nitpick this one. It was so disappointing to see the utterly exhausted cliche of the slicked-back hair, toothpick-chomping, and inexplicably Brooklyn-accented bad guy stereotype trotted out in about as unexciting a manner as possible, more or less like a r/starterpack meme. Valdes is a so-so actor in his…

I always thought an interesting angle for a “bad Superman” would be to play around with his all-American upbringing and make Jonathan and Martha hard right-wingers. They still raise him to be a good person who stands up for what’s right, but their idea of what’s right is that gay people are sinners, immigrants should…

I’m always curious about the appeal of fitness apps & trackers - as someone who’s never used one, but is familiar with how they work, I don’t see the advantage. That’s not to suggest there isn’t one, I just don’t get it. Is it more of a fun novelty that gives people motivation, or do you feel that it somehow…
