My good friends wife is a exercise instagrammer. She literally posts her self

This is probably true

You can't prove that

In a good way or bad way?

Sounds like “exactly the same” is not a good thing.

If I was ripped and still looked ripped for three years I am not sure what the problem is

This is the key distinction

the gym is full heavy people. who don't get skinnier.

Better to be a heavy person who exercises than one who doesn't

Better to be a heavy person who exercises than a thin one who is sedentary.

DanSmith...BYU

Why the down-votes? Is this a matter of opinion or scientific fact?

Tricky

1/20/21 2:51pm

Science is a bad word around here, but yes, it is a fact.

As a big guy I can testify: it is 80% diet.

*98% diet.

*80% genetics, 10% diet, 10% exercise.

I don’t disagree with this or any of the philosophies of weight loss. I 100% believe that one can manage their weight

I guess if your argument so folks have broad shoulders and others don't than yes

ordinary tri guy

I don’t believe that everyone is created equally from a body/physique perspective. I don’t believe it’s just a blank

Zach Morris

1/20/21 12:22pm

I agree with you here but would put the 80% number closer to 50%

Odysseus

1/20/21 12:25pm

That seems reasonable. I think a primary part of my point however is just how common of thinking it is that ones look

Zach Morris

1/20/21 12:34pm

Yeah, I can eat like a horse and not gain much fat or muscle (pros & cons)

Odysseus

1/20/21 12:40pm

So very true. Even today people still conflate fitness with appearance.

StalwartBraveTrue

1/20/21 12:54pm

True. A lot of that is OUTLIERS though. A team of almost any college sport

RUNBYU1

1/20/21 3:11pm

Look at NBA players. Some are thick. Some look like Andre Kirilenko.

johnnycarson

1/20/21 3:46pm

Look at the NFL, MLB and the human population in general. Some people tend to be more lean, more muscular... some tend

Zach Morris

1/20/21 4:15pm

True, but again, the VS models and Taysom Hill's are the OUTLIERS

RUNBYU1

1/21/21 1:13pm

Yes, but MOST look fairly similar outside of height differentials

RUNBYU1

1/21/21 12:35pm

One might suggest that genetics led to those team members being successful

StalwartBraveTrue

1/20/21 3:58pm

Perhaps, but in high school ANYONE makes the team on some of these sports. No

RUNBYU1

1/21/21 12:37pm

I work in the fitness industry and I'd put it lower than 50%

RUNBYU1

1/20/21 2:46pm

Of course you do. So would I if my life depended on it. 😉

StalwartBraveTrue

1/20/21 6:07pm

Touche. I don't get paid whether people are fit or not though. Has no bearing.

Then you know the statistics.

If that's the case, our genes have changed *drastically* over the last century

Mises

Lifestyle and environment impacts gene expression.

StalwartBraveTrue

1/20/21 1:31pm

So then, why not say lifestyle and environment impact fatness.

D.T. Survivor

Because that part is obvious. It’s not one or the other. But one AND the other.

Problem is, I really like the cookie. So I went MTBing for 2 hours. Blerg.

MTB is amazing for calorie burn. also tons more fun than running IMO, so...

It’s a great way to exercise. And yes, running is the worst. Only prob for me

Jay Rick

Also, at least in Utah it gets dark at like 5:30 in the winter. Which adds to it

2 1/2 hours for 800 calories? That is either high or strava is full of crap.

Depends on your weight. I get 800 for the same exercise my wife gets 325.
