The manlet thread.

Nope. What are macros? (lol)

 

Watch this. Might help more than my textual explanation.
Basically macros are Protein, Fats and Carbs in grams per day.
Like 120:40:80 means 120 g protein, 40 g fat and 80 g carbs.
It's pretty technical though, as I said.

 

Wow that was complicated! I'm probably eating to much fat and carbs and not enough protein. Might take some work to get it straight. What kind of cheap foods have a lot of protein, peanut butter?

 

Legumes (a big can of those can be pretty cheap). Eggs are also quite affordable.

 

Yeah I eat a lot of eggs for that reason. Never heard of legumes but I'll check it out. Thanks!

 

Do you mean you haven't heard about beans and legumes? Wow!

 

Heard of beans, not legumes though.

 

Why not normal deadlifts?

Chicken breast, tofu, can't recall the prices of greek yogurt but if you can stand the tastes it's almost pure protein. I used to mix greek yogurt with blueberries and orange slices.

Bahbell

 

Hurts my back. No matter what kind of form I do.

Thanks man I'll check it out. Sounds pretty good.

I’m 5’8”. I’ve never felt short. I was born into an Italian family with a Nonna and Nonna, 6 uncles and aunts. A brother and 2 sisters. 30+ cousins and I was considered tall in my family. It’s all relative. Just stop comparing yourself to others. Height, dick size, money whatever. We’re all good.

 

Have you every tried a trap bar deadlift? Or perhaps raising the weights off the ground with stacked mats on either side? Not that you need to do it ofc.

 

I've tried it before but not in a while. I'm open to trying it again though. Also, kettlebells don't seem to hurt.

 

I see you are a man of culture! lol

 

Yeah. Am 6'2 and feel average to short on campus.

 

Manlet checking in

You live in your home country so you're lucky.

Being short in the West is a death sentence or at very least a huge disadvantage.

I'd rather be taller than average than shorter than average. Btw what is negative about being tall? I doubt it could be as bad as being a manlet.

 

Tall people have a shorter life expectancy.
They tend to be less flexible which often leads to more injuries and joint problems.
Toilets are built for shorter folks.
It's harder for them to tie their shoes.
They can look funny if they are too skinny.
It's harder too get back up when they fall.
They bump their heads more often.
They struggle to keep their posture as they get old.
They seem to have more trouble with squatting in the gym.
They have more back problems.

I can go on and on. My point is that being tall isn't all it's cracked up to be. Being short has its disadvantages too. At the end of the day, it really shouldn't have a major impact on your life unless you get into the extremes.

 

What dogshit there's absolutely no disadvantage to being 6ft+ unless you start getting very tall like over 6ft5 then theres possibly some cons, you may as well say why being good looking is a disadvantage in life

I can show multiple statistics showing it does have a major impact on how much money you earn, how many friends you have, your success in dating, your jobs, how you're treated, quality of life e.t.c

 

Eggs are so tasty, I'd be so miserable as a vegan mostly because of eggs. Loooove me some eggies.

 

Best of luck to you.
