sassassin posted:There are a few minor, edge-case benefits that are completely offset by the amount of alcohol involved. It's a big net loss to any sort of health. Again, incorrect. Moderate alcohol consumption is associated with many health benefits that are neither minor nor "edge case". Calling it a big net loss to one's health is completely false. The health benefits seem to be associated with alcohol and are not specific to wine/red wine

There's a health benefit to obsessive alcohol use as well. It's called "making your problems go away"

The only benefit I got from alcohol was the ability to hit rock bottom and seize it as a chance to change my life, or maybe I'm just bad at drinking. Either way I'm happy.

I think I've sprained something in my thumb. I was picking up a busbin of cutlery at work on Friday and felt an intense pain from the base of my thumb to my wrist. All weekend it's been painful to grip or grasp things with my thumb and a couple of things I picked up definitely exacerbated it. There is currently a dull pain that radiates from the 'ball' of my thumb a little bit into my wrist. Is this 'gamekeeper's thumb'? I looked it up and the symptoms seem consistent, although I think the ligament is just stretched, not torn. I've been holding ice cubes on it all weekend and I'm currently resting it on an icepack; is there anything else I can do to aid recovery? How long should I keep from lifting to be safe? It's crazy how something so small can effectively cripple you. I pride myself on my tremendous grip strength and yesterday I could barely pick up and squeeze a sauce bottle. This is just humiliating.

None of this poo poo matters unless you're a world class athlete and you're min maxing your intake and workouts. Just do what feels good and don't treat yourself like poo poo.

Lol @ "alcohol: not even once." If you're not a professional (or I guess serious amateur) bodybuilder, gently caress it, have that beer. If you want abs, cut that beer out. It's not super crazy. At any rate, first time deadlifting heavy since I ripped those calluses off. Made the conscious decision not to use gloves, but forgot to check my grip position. Verdict: I grip things properly.  However, I started at 370 - did 2 reps and immediately lowered it. Way overshot. Went down to 340, then went down to 320 for set 4 (doing 4 sets of 8). Did fine until rep 3 of set 4, when my vision started going white. Immediately stopped. Question: what the gently caress was that? I finished off with side bar dips, jumping squats, and ropes. That went just fine. It was just the heavy deadlift that hosed my brain up.

SpeedyCow posted:345x4 squats and felt I had a fifth in me but pussied out so I did extra sets of 275x6 in shame Good work! I did 4 reps of 335 the week before my PR week and it was tough as heck. I think squats give me the most anxiety of all my lifts. That crushing weight on my shoulders is something I'll never get used to.

my knee sleeves came in and they seem to make a big difference, though it's still too early to decide for sure. My knees had already started acting up by the time I even left work, and normally that would have been a no go on any squat at all, but the sleeves made it painless(mostly, there was still a slight twinge, but they felt better overall by the end of the gym session). what's the best protocol for sleeves? use them only when I feel my knee acting weird? use them for work sets for a while? basically I'm asking, do they help enough with the actual squat work to cause any sort of imbalance or weakness if used too much? these are just like the neoprene or whatever the rubbery wetsuit type material is, not like a full brace.

I gave up trying to squat heavy with the amount that I run and my body has thanked me for it, now my knees don't always feel like they're about to explode. Really miss putting a good hurt on dat rear end though.

exquisite tea posted:I gave up trying to squat heavy with the amount that I run and my body has thanked me for it, now my knees don't always feel like they're about to explode. Really miss putting a good hurt on dat rear end though. Well, I don't think that's my problem. My knee thing has honestly seemed really arbitrary. There has been nights where I can grind out 5 reps and they feel great, then another night they start up while I"m still squatting just the bar, and in between. Although, as I said in another post, since I've been trying some stretches and stuff, it's still arbitrary like that, but definitely less frequent. Could lovely shoes be the culprit? I mean I'm on my feet way more than most people ,and some nights, like tonight, I spent a fair amount of time moving and turning around carrying 30 lb coils. The reason I ask is either way, they are lovely shoes because they have chafed and callused the poo poo out of my heels, so I'm getting a new pair soon, either way. Another thing to test out, I may try going to the gym when I wake up, instead of after a 10 hour shift, but getting up early is harder for me than working out after a long shift. I'm trying to think of a time my knees ever hurt when I lifted on an off day, and I can't think of one.
