>There are diminishing returns on exercise. A person doing 3 hours of exercise a week will see more benefit per hour than a person doing 9. Just like for someone who is morbidly obese to walk few blocks then.. Personally I workout 9-10h

Either lower the weights or just avoid injury prone exercises. Not much roi is there if you injure yourself. There's countless of ways to exercise specific body parts. If you keep hurting yourself by doing deadlifts for example at some

Reminds me of the days when facebook peddled vitamins on their site when no one else was willing to do business with them. Not the best PR for YC or the company. I would imagine the thread gets nuked.

Well I just eat the same shit - chicken, rice and broccoli - everyday. Problem solved. Wouldn't have it any other way honestly. After you eat certain foods long enough your body starts to crave them. Would have the same combo on final

Do people really want to advertise tech companies by using their merchandise? You couldn't pay me enough to even entertain the thought. Lemme just pull up that poorly sitting abhorrent short sleeved Microsoft Office business shirt real
