Were you having to swallow your own puke to eat it? That's what happens to me.

Plenty of times when I was trying to gain weight.

Normally I wouldn't act like such a hardass when you're this uncomfortable about something but eating vegetables is something every human being should do.

You should just accept that sometimes you need to eat things you don't want to.

Cottage cheese used to be a popular bodybuilder food before bedtime. The first time I opened a container I literally gagged. After a while it became tolerable.

Multivitamins certainly work, but the quality is variable because regulation is lax and your body doesn't utilize 100% of the pill (to be fair, your body doesn't utilize 100% of anything you eat).

Most of the B-vitamins are indeed immediately excreted by the kidneys, but that's supposed to happen when you take that much in a condensed form like that.

IMO, it's still wise to take a multi to make sure you won't have any vitamin-deficient problems. They're safe to take on a regular basis and are inexpensive.

The inexpensive ones have inferior nutrient sources in the forms of carbonates and oxides, which are less bioavailable. Personally, I buy an expensive brand that I take very infrequently when I'm in a rush and don't have fruits or veggies at hand. Don't rely on vitamins.

PPP, when you do them at the end, do you go for progressive overload? I've just been doing my last exercise to failure and not recording anything

Yeah, but not to the same extent as the money lifts. I think it was Jim Wendler who said if you're getting stronger on your assistance exercises but not on your main ones, you are failing (and vice versa).

I'm curious how much tax money people like PPP are really using here? I mean if he has a work permit it means he's paying income taxes in the like. From what I understand the DACA program itself was funded almost entirely using its application fees.

Yeah, and I get less for my taxes than a citizen would, since I can't collect unemployment, food stamps, etc (which is fine).

PPP is so ripped that I doubt any kind of border police is gonna be able to round him up. He could fight them all off easily. :v I'd like to see them try! He'd beat them up and then offer them workout advice.

Legal status depending on who wins in a fight? I would never admit this because it's not a moral or reasonable guideline, but hell yeah!

That's what I'm talking about. DACA qualifies me to get a work visa. It's $500 every two years.

If I get denied this year then no, I'm not getting the work authorization I'm paying $500 for.

I renewed every two years because it allowed me to work. So it going away is a pretty huge deal.

To the people who support ending DACA: it's also the government's fault for perpetually giving us a carrot with the potential of a path to citizenship and taking our money as we went through the multi-year approval process for that. Do you support us getting our many thousands of dollars back?

Honestly, if my family gets our $10,000+ back I will happily f*** right off back to Canada, although it sucks for the other DACA beneficiaries who come from worse countries.

You don't have to do the "core" lifts all the time unless you compete in powerlifting. Otherwise, you can mix them up with dumbbell pressing, incline benching, good mornings, etc. (if you lift in a commercial gym it's harder to come up with squat variations using different specialty bars so I would stick with good old barbell squats, though).

Some random unorthodox exercises I like: Tate press, Savickas press, death press, Y press, 1- minute chin-ups, and RKC planks.

I got invited to counter-protest this so I did some research. The organizer is Japanese, there is a black performer, the organizer posted on FB that Richard Spender is not welcome, and their logo had a crossed out swastika next to a crossed out communist hammer and sickle. They're right-wingers but not white supremacists or Nazis.

I'll also add that while the organizers seem to check-out, several followers on their Facebook page were posting racist crap.

Fighting any oppression of women, large or small, is inherently a feminist act.

But she isn't necessarily a feminist. Sorry, but you don't get to decide labels.

It'd be feminism to merely fight for women, but the YPJ also heavily promote feminism in their ideology.

YPG is cool, but I'm worried that the civil war and fear of subversion will lead them to eschew democracy. Which will doom them in the end, no matter how things work out in the larger civil war.
Also, feminism is great.

Being part Kurd and as someone who seriously considered joining the YPG this concerns me as well. Good news is how integrated Arabs and other ethnic groups have become with them through the formation of the Syrian Defense Force.

Okay, just watched the whole dashcam footage. That was all your fault. I revoke my prior sympathy, although I think 60 days in jail is too harsh.

Acknowledging that and the fact that you have mental issues that cause you to be needlessly abrasive in normal society, it would have been great if the cop went above and beyond his paygrade and managed to talk you down somehow. For example, your feelings got hurt when the cop was annoyed and asked "Does this make sense to anyone?" so you escalated further. You're the one with thin skin here and that's on you, but there could have been a way for the officer to defuse you going off your rocker by recognizing this manic person he's dealing with and use psychologically softer rhetoric that's firm while not being entirely argumentative. So I guess I do have sympathy insofar as wanting you to get help for yourself, not because your behavior was in anyway justified.

Two cents from someone who's dated a bipolar person before.

I had sympathy for you at first because all too often the little guy ends up being crushed by "the system" in more ways than one, but at one point the cop told you he's outright ordering you to leave (not just giving you "the freedom to"). They were there doing their job and it was undeniable you were interrupting their work by continuing to talk in circles.

Still, I don't think you should go to jail for 60 days for it.

I like this idea.

Imagine if the angels don't really like mortals and this is why they turned a blind eye to Zamasu doing his thing.

It's valid to say that he shouldn't have kept reaching for the ID. But the cop should be trained to deescalate. This guy was trying to comply, was probably a little nervous and couldn't react instantaneously, and at the same time is trying to process what the cop is telling him. Ordering him to get the ID and then to NOT reach for the ID is going to confuse someone for a split second. Tell him what to do like stop moving or put your hands on the wheel, not what not to do (since the latter contradicts the previous order to get the ID).

100 percent on the cop.

Oh s***, good to see you dude. Looking strong. I still remember you as the skinny guy but clearly I need to readjust that now. If you were attacked by a mountain lion (weather conditions are clear, you slept for 7 hours the night before, and you have an adequate amount of carbohydrates in your system) you definitely look like you would afflict at least 10% of TMD (total mortality damage) before succumbing to your wounds, which is arguably the most widely used test for measuring fitness.

I respect your decision to continue to train one arm, but I feel like it's going to make working out with your other arm terribly awkward.

It also looks f***ing weird, xD

Good luck sir.

For sure it will be awkward. But know what would be more awkward? Being weak everywhere and letting over a decade of work disappear.

Either way it sucks, there's no way to avoid that with a major injury. It's all about cutting losses and exercising a scrappy fortitude.

This is going to sound melodramatic but I feel like it's an extension of right after the injury when I was fighting to get seen by a surgeon and call after call was getting me nowhere with my piss-poor insurance. It was really depressing and it took a certain mindset of attacking all obstacles with everything I have to not get overwhelmed with stress. Same forward momentum applies to training.

Thanks for the goodwill.
