@a7las1984 The first time I lost weight I lost a lot of muscle. This time I'm trying to maintain muscle mass.
It also makes the weight loss much more noticeable visually.
@a7las1984 In the last 3 months I did a recomp, down 20lbs from 245, but focusing on high protein and hypertophy workouts to add mass while i still have the fat to support gaining muscle.
I would say right now I'm in the mid 20's on body fat percentage. I would like to get to 15%
@a7las1984 I have personally gone from 280 to 230, and i have not experienced loose skin, I'm 5"10, so 230 is likely not lean enough for me to get loose skin.
I'm 225 right now. But I have wide shoulders and I carry a lot in my lower body
@EdLatimore Average couch potato at 5'11 200lbs is likely 30-40% bodyfat.
By the time they can run a 5k in 22minutes, they likely won't be 200lbs anymore.
On the other hand, you can add muscle and lose fat, staying the same weight while lifting.
@elonmusk Yeah, I really want the federal government to be in full control of my ability to make a living.
I can see how good it is at everything else.
My feeling is that now it is "safe" to release the info that Epstein was really a sex trafficker as a side gig and was mainly an intelligence asset of Israel and the US, a big-time financial criminal on behalf of transnational capital (i would argue transnational organized crime disguised as transnational capital), and an arms trader because the people he was helping have stolen so much of America's wealth and have taken control over so much of the government.
That is why even admitting the true breadth of the scandal and operation doesn't even seem to move the needle. Criminals are in charge and they run both parties, they have created the infrastructure for neo-feudalism enforced by technology and are herding us into the corral.
Opt out of AI, digital ID and the surveillance state that Epstein associates built now because we still can.
@AllenBogarty@DeanTTraining Dropsets are at least AS effective as straight sets in a shorter amount of time.
I use dropsets because I work for 13hrs some days and cannot be in the gym forever.
@BretWeinstein I've been doing this with AI for a while.
I will also say
" Based on the questions I have asked so far, generate questions that would interest me in other domains"
Or
'What is question I have been circling around but unable to ask clearly"
@Hitchslap1 You can only measure calories in, and if you are losing weight, that's how you know if you are in a deficit.
There is no way to accurately measure calories out for most people.
Many argue AI is like prior tech revolutions--that the jobs destroyed will be replaced by jobs we can't yet imagine
They're wrong. AI+robots will be better at the newly created jobs too. It's is a super-competitor, with the advantages of a generalist AND almost every specialist
@EdLatimore@grok I had the same thing when I was crushing ungodly amounts of vegetables. It's not a carnivore thing, they are eating cleaner in general.
