Seems like AI couldn't do a worse job at that than the humans have been

That moon ain't right, I tell ya hwhat

To me, it's average joe gymgoers trying to train with hyper specific bodybuilding methods that are really only relevant to professional bodybuilders on lots of drugs and who are able to train multiple times as long and often as it's their job. And who've trained for a decade plus and have generally built a solid base of strength and skill in compound lifts. It's some skinny or fat kid who can't do a pushup talking about how you gotta do shoulder raises with your pinky out to really use the muscle etc.

The same but opposite in the weightlifting world was the trend for people to want train like the Bulgarians did. ie max attempts in the competition lifts and squats multiple times per day 6 days a week and doing literally no other exercises. Conveniently forgetting the drugs and the fact that it was their full time job.

Why do you think you can't look good with compound lifts? An untrained person has a far greater chance of causing a significant change to their physique by focusing on say dips and pullups than they do trying to hyperspecialise on bodybuilding isolations. The guy that goes from zero to 15 pullups (or ideally added weight) has a much better change than the guy who adds a few notches on the cable curl.

Tell me how to bench without triceps or pullup without biceps. Sure you should add extra work for these if your concern is to grow them specifically, but it would be foolish to spend more time on isolations than compounds. Especially for beginners who have no base. People should not be walking into a gym day one and sitting on a bicep machine hoping to get huge. It's like trying to ice a cake before you've baked it.

People generally do need to develop better control than I regularly see demonstrated in commercial gyms, but trying to lift in slow motion has no inherent benefits. It's essentially just an awkward and inconsistent way to add intensity, when you could just do more reps or sets or weight or less rest etc.

You build muscle with progressive overload and calories. Details like lifting slower or faster aren't worth considering too much. Both are recommended in certain situations, but not so much for the purpose of muscle gain. You might like to do squats with a 5 second eccentric as someone who has poor control in the squat. But that's for technique improvement, not gaining any more muscle. Conversely you might try to squat as fast as possible for athletic purposes, even going so far as to measure barbell velocity which can inform capabilities in other exercises and sport specific movement. And they're not really missing out on much muscle gain, especially if they continue on with more muscle intensive exercises after their power focused movements.

Am currently there, very glad it's barely summer. We've had like 2 hot days so far, been completely comfortable otherwise. It's going to be like 26 degrees all week. Hope it keeps that up til Christmas because sitting around in a pool of sweat isn't a fun way to celebrate when some crooner is banging on about dashing through the snow. Last year was brutal.

The more chilled out side of jazz funk

Yeah we should all just work 12 hours a day to barely pay the rent and never complain, all so we can make people born staggeringly wealthy die even wealthier. Why be 'useful' to a society that has been entirely co-opted to exploit us? And you'd be a terrible person to be in charge of who is and isn't 'useful' to society, if you grind someone up for fertiliser you miss out on the decades of rent, food, electricity, entertainment et cetera they will pay for, even living life at its most frugal with every dollar having come from the government. But you don't get to feel righteously angry about people you deem less-than in that scenario, so fire up the mulcher I guess.

I don't know why people want to blame individuals for not wanting to crush themselves under a blatantly shitty system instead of advocating for change to that system so that peoples lives are less shitty. The type who had to suffer down a coal mine their whole life so everyone else should too, instead of wanting to improve things so no one has to suffer like they did.

Thankfully there were enough of the latter in the past century or so that things did change and get better, for a while. But the capitalist propaganda of puritan work ethic and individualism has been so overwhelming that a lot of people now don't even know how to imagine the world being any different, so all they know is cutting the offending puzzle pieces to fit the only image they know, given to them by their exploiters.

Our ancestors who fought for things like the 8 hour work day would be spinning in their graves at the fact that not only are we not working less than they did, we are working MORE, while being several times more productive, while having far less ability to afford a home and a family than they did. They'd be appalled at how we've let ourselves get absolutely robbed by the owning class, and how we've got to put up with victim blaming fools like yourself making things worse.

We had basically no eggs in Western Australia for like 6 months this year because a heat wave killed a shitload of laying hens and it took 6 months for more to be raised. And then there were restrictions on them during parts of covid, along with tons of other products. Feels like years since just casually buying food was a given, and now that supply is more consistent, the prices are fucking insane.

We're taking the what, to where?!

Aw jeez, not another one

The only time vertical videos was an issue was about 10 years ago when it was common for videos to get converted from portrait to landscape. This resulted in huge black bars, and when viewed in portrait on a phone or without being fullscreened, the video ends up as a tiny speck by black. Since then, content created on and designed to be viewed on phones has become standard, and portrait videos make sense and aren't a problem.
