re: Let’s have an unpopular opinion thread

i agree for the most part exceptions would be belt squats and then the rogers power squat pro as it has a floating yoke that allows you to do a natural squat.

advanced people are fine using machines as they know how to position the body to make it work. most suck though lol.

This thread has me so triggered

There is only one vegetable I love and that is the bell pepper.

This thought came to me today based on self experience... Portion sizes do not matter, but the food you eat does.

My drill sergeant loved making us do squat thrusts....... we didn’t stand at attention when a single gold bar walked into the room, bastard set us up! 200 squat thrusts February 1984 hadn’t done one since.

What the heck is that?

Everything I do is old school dumbbell.

I missed this reply. I think the second portion of my statement is more important than the first. It is very difficult for an individual to gain weight eating only whole foods. This individual would have to resort to smoothies, juices and oils to put on weight. If not, they would be stuffed from the fiber, protein, and/or water content of real foods. I wish the study would be done because unfortunately, I only have anecdotal evidence. This doesn’t mean that the calories in vs calories out is incorrect, but it does mean that it’s incredibly hard to take in enough nutrient dense, calorie poor foods to put on weight. It all comes back to either what you eat or how much you eat. But it does not have to be both. If one were to eat the right foods, then portion sizes don’t matter. Eat until you almost barf and the weight will still come off. That has been my experience.
