Serious question.
If female players feel like the WNBA doesn't pay them fairly why don't they play full time overseas?
That was what happened to our best soccer talent for a long time.

I am in support of them earning their value, but I personally do not value women's basketball so why would i imagine those that do paying more? If fans do in Kyzekistan have at it. Chase your bag.

Well D***o sales have went up.. every highlight on SportsCenter someone is throwing one on the court during the game..

Different body types have different rates of “calories out”

What does food addiction have to do with me knowing several people who eat a lot, and a lot of unhealthy things, but stay skinny?

Are you also saying everyone gains muscle the same?

People have different basal metabolic rates, but the range is not particularly wide. Calories out is mostly decided by how much movement you do.

Ability to gain muscle, again, has very little to do with metabolic rate. It’s mostly related to strenuous movement and eating protein rich food while in a caloric surplus.

People put on muscle differently, but not sure what the connection is to what was being discussed?

To answer your other post, I don’t think I know more about what your friend eats than you do, I think that neither of us, or your friend himself for that matter, understand how much he truly eats.

what the flying hell

Obviously if everyone did the "right" things, they would do much better. That isn't the question. The question is why don't they? What I'm saying is that Big Food is incentivized to use ingredients that drive addictions. Once addictions are established in those who have the genetic predisposition toward them, no amount of will power will fix it. And rest assured, Big Food is just as aware of what they are doing as Big Tobacco, Big Pharma, Big Oil, and every other profit driven monopoly. The only difference between Big Food and drug dealers is the legality of what they sell.

So I'll say it again, the people who are so quick to say "all you gotta do is..." are the ones that have never battled it.

We all have addictions. Posting here can be an addiction.

First thing is I have to admit that I have an addiction or problem. Until I make the decision to change an unhealthy habit it doesn't matter. I am responsible for me, no one else is. It sucks to do the right thing many times, but I have to know better than to continue down a destructive and unhealthy path. I can make excuses or create effective solutions to my problems.

Also, the janitor has to clean up all the dildos left scattered around the arena after the games. That is a nasty job that is worthy of a salary that is commiserate.

Crazy to think he was that prolific and only ever had a 58.6% completion rating

He was held back by all of Patterson's drops.

I had a Japanese friend about 5'5" 140lbs soaking wet who would eat twice what I did. Easily. Dude was an eating machine. He had to dramatically cut back or die because his BP was completely out of control and he ended up hospitalized over it. In all the years I was around him he never gained. Had I eaten what he did, I'd be 300lbs or more.

The problem with medical science regarding calories isn't that the base premise is wrong. Yes, more calories = more weight. That's just physics. Where the reality diverges is in how that fuel is used or shed. Stored or dumped. Some people have genetics that leave them in storage mode. Dominant insulin, non existent glucagon. Same genetics that drive carb addiction. And same genetics that are subject to Big Food's dirty tricks. Low carb is the diet answer to those genetics, if you can stick with it. I have done so for long periods, but modern chemistry makes that much easier.

Wouldnt it be physiology?

Anyway, carry on. I know no more than that.

Well. there's over a billion people there, so the odds are kinda stacked in their favor for something weird happening

I spent a week in India earlier this year. For a short trip, I was able to see different parts of the country - Delhi area, coastal area, and southern/inland communities. I’ll go back one day. I want to see the northern areas around Bangladesh and Nepal.

But there was no shortage of moments. It felt like there was a much lower value on life there.

Going down an escalator, you see the support/girding holding the structure in place. I guess the designers planned poorly, and the support for the upper escalator didn’t reach far enough to connect to the support for the lower escalator. No problem, they just stacked multiple, random sized, about half-inch thick steel plates to shim it up. Good to go!

And roadways are chaos. On one drive from the coast to an inland town, I checked the driving route on my phone before leaving, and on Google maps, the roadway I had to take was like a dotted line. I thought it was strange, until I came to the first of many sudden turn offs to a dirt/gravel access road. Turns out that this major highway was still under construction, and they were building it in about 5 mile sections. You’re driving along, enjoying smooth 6-lane highway driving for 5 miles. Then with little advanced warning, everyone veers off to a 1.5 lane access road you share with cattle-drawn carts, pedestrians and folks on bicycles. Incredibly, even on the stretches of highway - traveling at night with low visibility - there were people crossing the highway on foot. Talk about white-knuckle driving.

Eating was an adventure too.

Many play overseas and in the WNBA. The overseas league schedule is a regular basketball season while the WNBA plays in the summer.

Being used to sammiches i'd hate to eat at New Delhi. Id be Saffron from some type of stomach issue. Wife would have to Curry me to hospital. Anyway, eating Turkey is def way to go.

Anyway, carry on. I know no more than that.

I would assume that conservation of energy would fall under physics.

 

[orangebloodgmc]

Yes. We want SEC to lose.

Unless something like USCjr beating Clemp gets us in the playoffs

Eh, I am just not at that place. Texas gonna Texas; that other OSU (not THE Oregon State Univ) deserves a beat-down from someone other than their Michigan masters.

Or department of energy. Im dragging this to the ground.

That’s why the gym community is great. Us late thirties who workout a lot and see young kids, I tell them they are doing great and keep up the good work. Many ask me for spots and workouts which I happily do. I always let them know it’s a grind and takes time but they can do it. Always tell them they are looking bigger every time I see them.

Marathon. Not a sprint.

 

[Aesius]

Never too old to be in the gym. You will get too old if you get out of it pretty quick though.

We have a guy that goes to our gym that is 68 and that gym is a beast. Started training at around 65. Did his first tough mudder run last year.

As far as the young people, that is why it's important to find a gym with a great culture to help them as they are coming up. Show proper form and help guide these young people in person.

I'm in the gym 4x a week. Late 30s. I started going almost exactly two years ago and have been consistent. Even did a 100 consecutive day bro-split from March-June of this year.

I started mostly to address various aches and pains. Within just a few months, my chronic back pain was gone. I've since evolved into lifting more for hypertrophy, but building noticeable muscle is slow. I'm fine with it because I'm not trying to impress anyone, but I can see how frustrating it is for younger people.

What's shocking to me is how many guys my age and slightly older are already on TRT--while also refusing to admit how much that influences their physiques and strength. Even if you're not blasting T like a bodybuilder, being at 1,100 ng/dl is still a massive strength training advantage over someone at a natural 400-500.

Best exercise advice I ever heard.

It's not about motivation it's about dedication.

As far as the structures and building materials. Many of the buildings here are now being engineered and detailed in India. There are also companies that provide full building packages and ship them across the ocean. My gut feeling is that in 15 years you will see a lot of buildings structurally unsafe that came from India. In my field it is hard to get work simply because Indian detailers will have 20 different people work on one job incorrectly, then send it over. The standards there are completely different from what we see here. I know this firsthand because this was how my former company tried to get rid of my department when I stood against them in the direction the company was going.

You may come to like it, given enough thyme. . .

Anyone got any Plantar Fasciitis recommendations? Just now experiencing this. Right heel feels like someone is stabbing me with a knife in the mornings. Wears off as the day goes.

Inserts the best?

Take a plastic bottle of water and freeze it. Then roll your arch over the bottle to massage and ice your foot.

I am 47 and completely understand. Guys in their early to late 30's in my gym are all on it. I get comments of "you're on TRT, right" a lot. When I say no, they say I would be even better.

My wife is on TRT and it has been really good for her. I am just trying to wait until I really need it before I use it. It basically has to become part of your life forever once you get on it or the drop is brutal.

No new info, but the WNBA gets paid less because it brings in less money than the NBA. Player salaries are based on league revenue, and the NBA makes billions through TV deals, ticket sales, and sponsorships. The WNBA's viewership and demand are much lower, so there's less money to go around.
