  • I’ve trained my arms for 3 days in a row, nothing fancy: upright rows, bent-over rows and triceps kickbacks, 10 repetitions each, 2 rounds. After that I’m so sore I cannot do more, so I turn to cardio and do planks (front and side) and some yoga.

    Really recommend finding a workout split. I do push, pull, legs x2 and an hour on the stationary bike on Sundays. Monday is push, so my chest, tris, and shoulders are all hit. Then they’re rested the next two days when I get back to push. You could do also do a bro split or just find something that works best for you. The important part is that you’re giving your muscles time to rest between sessions.

    On that note, the most effective way to gain muscle is to be in a calorie surplus, train to failure, and progressive overload (and steroids). So make sure you’re gaining weight (slowly, don’t just start bingeing cake). Push your sets to the point where you can no longer keep form. Try to lift more than you did last time (either more reps or more weight).

    Don’t skip legs. I don’t mean cardio, do some actual resistance work on your legs or prepare to find yourself top heavy. “Skipping leg day” is a meme for a reason.















  • Look, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt here in assuming you’re asking that question honestly and not trying to start a debate about whether or not this dishonest nature of the comment constitutes a lie.

    So why was she protesting the building of a wind farm a few weeks ago?

    I find it funny how her protesting something hugely beneficial was met with general silence.

    The comment is set up to try and make Greta appear hypocritical. She’s supposed to be an environmentalist and she’s protesting wind farms? The comment goes on to extrapolate that to the entire environmentalist community being hypocrites because the protest “was met with general silence”.

    What it leaves out is the context of the protest, which had absolutely nothing to do with the windmill, but rather the development of land use by peoples who don’t have the political power to prevent it.

    It’s akin to you protesting a children’s hospital being put in your backyard and then being accused of hating sick children.

    In other comments, OP says “I work in the industry and windmills aren’t a problem”, blah, blah, blah. This purposely misses the point that the problem is development of these people’s land against their will, whether it be a windmill or a Walmart. You can be an environmentalist who is pro windfarm and still have an issue with exploiting people, even if that exploitation is to put up wind farms.
