Polls: Health & Fitness

I got my blood and urine tested and they made me a plan of what stuff I'm supposed to take and I haven't even got everything yet but it's really made a big difference. So far it's only been a week but I just feel mentally less exhausted and I can do some tasks easier than before I don't have to fight myself to get me to do something anymore I just did it and it took way less energy than usual. Also I recharged way more on the weekend I felt like I was ready for the next week when in the past I felt like it was never enough and I was starting the new week at a deficit already because I couldn't fully recharge.

FYI in the U. S. supplements aren't regulated so it's a lot more difficult to get a reliable supplier so that might affect your experience with them.

Of course I'm assuming you only take stuff you actually need and have a deficit of and not just random supplements.

I don't mean people should be as strong as strongmen, nor focus on strength if they don't want to. But do you agree that for health, most people should be able to do this?

For postural benefits, avoiding injuries while falling and overall support their weight in a healthy way.

My cousin recently made a comment to me, saying "I reckon most girls would be stronger than you!" So here I am to put his theory to the test:

I'm a skinny but athletic 6'2”, 150lbs, my biceps when flexed measure 12” around and I've just tested myself to see how many times I can bicep curl a 20lb dumbbell (with one arm). I managed 15 before my arm gave out. So girls, pick the answer that describes you and then make a comment telling me how you compare.

I'm okay with being 6'2 but I wanna be taller. As for weight I'm okay but am still working towards my goal.

When you are out on a hot summer day, it's important to stay hydrated.

So what is your go-to drink?

I heard it’s good therapy and helps de-stress.

An Olympic style competition with a variety of events such as 50yd dash, Basketball shooting accuracy, Bicycle Race, long jump, pushups/situps per minute, pullups, 3 mile run. All tests are done by honesty/ posting of video evidence.

you have several months to train and prepare... all contests equally rated over say, 10 categories.

Sort of like fantasy olympics... however, you are competing. yea, maybe there should be a prize for top winners. How to keep it honest is a challenge...

My therapist is almost constantly telling me I need to connect with people but I can’t do it because I find most people are fake and just waste my time

im in therapy for anxiety

I find people to be really just awful and I don’t want to talk to them in real life at all

It’s really making me feel uncomfortable and I am tempted to stop treatment altogether

They are insistent that I must connect with people and I don’t want to do it

I think it is a waste of time because I’m just going to get left on read or unopened

Is this a bad therapist?

Or do you take anything at all?

Obviously (most of us I hope) can function on our own in civil society. But I am really questioning my thought patterns, how I look at the world and my personal struggles.

I always wondered if the latter was due to how I rationalize things and the actions I take (or sometimes lack thereof). I sometimes wonder there thingy that most people “get” and I just don’t.
