The worst excuse I have seen for broke people not conserving their budget by not cooking for themselves is "It's too expensive!"
Bullshit. You need to learn how to shop and plan for cheaper ingredients. And you clearly do not know how to do math if you cannot see that ordering takeout is more expensive than making it yourself.
Yes, it takes practice. But if you are broke, you cannot afford not learn this skill.
@sardonicsmile Thinks take time and many people just want to skip progress or often they think they can handle random big numbers But Iron never lies or your body. People can be shocked how weak are we when untrained
I have stopped using the barbell because I felt that dominant hand tend to take the weights from weaker side So with Dumbells both hands have equal weight
My exercise are more focused on practical muscle use compare to something like benchpress and dumbells are more versatile IMO
@Stahesh The "ego lift" is a dangerous thing.
Dumbells are best, for exactly the reason you mentioned.
@sardonicsmile He should have used lighter weights and two dumbbells instead of one barbell.
Another mistake is with heavy weights you do not want to reach failure. Because you will have no power to lift it back up.
I have seen many videos where they died because no one was around and some people lift in home gyms.
Only thing that can help you is to focus on yourself and think that nobody will help you. Because no one will help you in time of need. It will always come late or never.
@Stahesh Perhaps he was just "in his own head" too much and did not know how to solve problems or was too intimidated to seek out help?
Perhaps, he was just a narcissist, like you observed.
@sardonicsmile I have many doubts about my father. I do not think he cared about something other than himself.
Too selfish and narcissistic to care about others.
Today I'm at a different beach, further Northwest, and it's funny how it's 98% German tourists. Whereas in Malia it was perfectly British territory, along with pubs and whatever your average Brit expects. Funny how even on vacation, and even if they're related (like Germans and Brits are) people tend to segregate automatically.
