>Go on any random form about any exercise in the world>Always some goober saying, "That's gonna injure you">Logically, every single thing in the world can "injure" you>Standing still can "injure" your knees even>What's even allowed?I hate fear-mongering. Just lift. Jesus christ.
>>77236403The discourse around diet is even worseLiterally nothing you can eat that isn't bad for you in some way or another
>>77236403love is when female can be acting like a messy unsexy slob, got it
>>77236403you're talking to bots and indians neither of whom workout. the real question is why are you still here and how do you still need even more information about exercise? it's fairly simple
>>77236410Some dude cried about how the 3g of added sugar in greek yogurt is "turned into fat immediately" because it is >Le artificial>Le added >>77236436>the real question is why are you still here and how do you still need even more information about exercise? it's fairly simpleIt's not that I need more information, but rather that reading about how lifting works and programs are designed motivates me. I used to love reading posts about people's progress, and I occasionally find the good podcast of how volume is good for X or Y purpose. But the intelligent discourse is gone and has been replaced by>Don't do literally anything ever because >le badA recent example would be how I went on a rock climbing reddit and looked at a thread about finger stretches, and someone replied, "this is bound to give you an overuse injury".>A fucking finger stretch>Overuse injury.Seeing this shit just bums me out. What happened to interesting dialogue? Then I went on 3-4 other threads and there's always one comment about how "Le injuries await" if you do "le bad thing". One struggles to imagine how anyone gets anything done if everything in the world is bad.
>>77236403>Let me just ask for advice on why the people who I say are bad at giving advice are bad at giving advice.This board is so dead.
>>77236660Read the replies and the actual conversation going on fren. Then participate or le fuck off to reddit. desu desu desu desu
>>77236403There's a lot of stuff that will injure you at least more than you stand to benefit from it. But there's a lot of how advanced, how fast are you increasing load, how often are you doing it, what other lifts are you doing, how well are you performing the reps and in what range ect ect. There's a mountain of blank space people project their own experience onto because you give them no other option and no one who's an actual expert in it is going to sit there and play 20 questions with you to figure it out for free.
>>77236410Because diet is mostly a business model pseudocscience, you can find all kinds of studies on all kinds of things and none of them agree on anything besides biochemistry And yes pretty much 80% of "food" is unironically bad for you. And im talking whole ingredients not even processed stuff, we're maladapted to a lot of things or lost the adaptation somewhere down the line
>>77237141What are the 20%
>>77237183Not spoonfeeding you no pun intended
>>77237141Diet has been solved since the 70s
>>77237207Bodybuilders are unhealthy and not to be taken seriously for dietary advice. Also only two things in your pic build muscle.
>>77237129>There's a lot of stuff that will injure you at least more than you stand to benefit from it.That's a non-statement. Yes, there are those things. So what? Shooting yourself in the foot will injure you more than you stand to benefit from it. Say something meaningful rather than ambiguous crap. That's what internet fitness talk has devolved into. Things can harm you. Yes, and?>don't squat because this one dude hurt his knee>Don't do one arm pullups because this one dude jorked his bjorn.>>77237141>We're maladapted >Read the studies bro>When asked a fair question he replies>Not spoonfeeding you the answer, just look at the science bro.Picrel
>>77237217Deadlift and squat would be chief among them yes. Usually fine if you're a novice or intermediate and you've been coached on how to do them. But it's exceedingly rare you'll find anyone doing advanced numbers on either that's doing them 3 times a week like a novice or isn't using knee braces and other devices to mitigate the damage. It's in the details. You ask stupid generalist questions you get stupid generalist answers.
>>77236419The Redditor who made OP meme is 200 lbs fatass and looks nothing like the girl in pic
>>77237263Post numbers or GTFO. You write like you've never squatted more than 3 plates.>But it's exceedingly rare you'll find anyone doing advanced numbers on either that's doing them 3 times a weekIf you know how to squat heavy properly, you can program it so you'll be fine. I worked up to a point where 315lbs was my light day, and my heavy days were volume days of 370+ lbs. Yes I squatted 3 times a week, without issue.
>>77237264thats funny cause thats what i was thinking too - op picture but the girl on the right side is really fat
>>77237290I squat 360 for 8 to parallel every 5th day because that's the most I can do it as natrual 40 year old man that weighs less than 170. Even that comes with at least 1 minor injury a year. Which probably won't be so minor in another 10 years.

>>77236403Most people are bad at giving advice because most people are dumb. Remember this and online discourse becomes much less of a headache.
>>77237211Post body ketosissie (you won't and never will)
>>77237105Sorry you're so upset
>>77237211>Don't take people who make diet and nutrition their life seriously.>here's a blatant strawman to establish why you should listen to me instead
>>77237329In my gym, 48 year olds with 3 kids and a full time job squat 500 for reps without bitching about it. Sometimes they do it while recovering from unrelated injuries from work. Know why? Because they train smart. So rather than think,>Muh age, muh injuriesThink about how the body works as a system. It's much more resilient than you think.>Minor injuries once a yearTweaks happen for all sorts of reasons. Could be form, could be overtraining, could be plain bad luck. But pretending like there's not a way to work around that is retarded. I could be the keyboard warrior and speculate all sorts of reasons why>170 bw with that strength is good, but also, very very light, maybe under-eating? Not enough deloads? Who the fuck knows I know nothing about you but it's just one of many possible options.You've got good stats for a 40 year old. You better have better stats than that father of three in 8 years fucker. Train smart. Listen to your body. Train with a purpose (and preferably a coach of more than 10 years). that's it.

>>77238768But why though? What does squat do that other machine compounds can't?It's just more compact but I have no need for a competition lift because I'm not a competition lifter.
>>77239084what's the issue?
>>77236403>coming to a twenty two year old fitness board with a outdated sticky with nothing except glowies, browns, or a few shitposters left shooting the shit before their next session
>>77236403You forgot the>"Eat raw chicken.">"Drink raw milk.">"Take this schizo supplement list daily.">"You're welcome."guy
you get a lot of boomers that are failed jocks or over the hill jocks that refuse to do certain exercises like deads or squats because they basically can't and are scared of injury.So they cope by telling other people they can't or they'll get injured. Classic if i can't/won't do something no one can attitude.They used to pop up at my gym a bit and make snide comments behind my back.But quickly when they realised i was serious and i can out lift them by a considerable amount they just all quit.Thats the sort of asshole that sits online posting this stuff
>>77236403everyone is differenteveryone has different habits, lifestyles, diets, exercise levels, job stresses, personal stresses, body morphology, gut microbiome, tolerance etcall these things factor into diet and exercise in one way or anotherbasically take all advice with a grain of saltmileage may varywhat works for some may not work for you
>>77236403this is less of a /fit/ problem and more of a 4chan problem. it's a 50/50 chance you're talking to a bot/indian or an actual person and when it's an actual person, there's a 67% chance they're fucking with you at some level. when you get someone who's actually trying to offer advice, it's a shining example of the Dunning-Krueger effect
>>77239586most (popular) boards are infested with people that have no genuine interest in the topic and hate people interested in the topic
>Indians out of nowhere Mind broken
