Why are non-lifters so judgmental? I don't mean to one-up people but people always take the fact that I lift the wrong way.

First off, pretend you're a normie.. That its a genetic and you only workout like once a month..
Normies love it when fit ppl lie and say its all genetic, that way they can pretend that there's nothing they can do about their bodies and continue on being fat pigs

If you work out so hard that you can't move your arms for 5 days isn't that overtraining? Not being able to work out for 5 days?

Hi there DYELs
Overtraining exists unless you roid.
Even Dorian Yates tell you he overstrained on grams of fucking steroids.
People who don't overtrain are following a shiity program that leaves them undertrained.
If you aren't able to add 5lb to your upper body lifts, every time you do them, you are either overstrained or undertrained.
If I have you do 5 sets of you 5rm deadlift, the next day if you try and deadlift, you will not be able to add 10lb to that lift because you will be overtrained, and weaker.
If you aren't getting stronger, you are training sub-optimally.

I force myself to hangout with people who are smarter/richer than myself. IF they're not available
I go on youtube and watch interviews/lectures which ranges from writers,philosophers,musicians and film directors. Usual ones that aren't glorified by the mainstream because they tend to repeat the same ol be yourself bs
Basically look for people who are making good shit but aren't rich. thats the people who motivate me.

You won't excel in either if you try to do both.
If you want to do something like a bit of both, try strongman training.
Oly lifting looks cool as fuck though, give it a shot. If you don't like it, you can go back to power lifting.

Im a registered dietitian and i feel fucking useless
Most disease prevention type diets are widely available on the net despite broscience
A fucking monkey can count calories
All i do is sit all day and talk to old people who cant be bothered to even improve their diets
People who want into fitness ignore rds because theyd rather have their diets planned by fucking personal trainers and are aware most rds are shitty sports rds
Were the niggers of the healthcare
People dont care for what actually works for health
Wat do i do fit

Inefficient form of exercise. Better off going into the gym and doing compound lifts according to a routine like starting strength or stronglifts.
You need to get in and form those neuromuscular connections.
>>
>>36215326
so it is more like a supplementary discipline?

Isn't he basically eating fast food everynight?
What is the point in all the clean meals if he is just going to gorge on fast food and Ben and Jerry's each night?

You CAN go the beach shirtless, you're just too embarrassed to do so.
Just take your shirt off anyway, you'll forget how you look after a little while.
