English is my second language, what do I know
:laughing:
lol

I laugh cuz, I speak English like it’s my first and Spanish like my second

I learned English when I started to go to school

I’m the only one of my siblings and my parents who was born in the U.S.A

I suppose, my English not scholarly nor is it elementary
But I can flip these words professionally, per my specialty

Back in the day, in high school, I was all into the online exercise research. I’d do homework, hit the basement with the weight set and cardio equipment, then hit the internet to research a million different things.

Sadly… I can’t find any of the cool articles from that era any more. Another instance of the modern search algorithms not comparing well with the old internet for me… lol

Anyways, there was a neat article that tried to develop a protocol for realistic “spot reduction” and abs. A trainer (I don’t remember the name) was using cardio intervals to help spike the metabolism and try to get a sort of carryover effect for the abs.

So he would do a few intense minutes of either an exercise bike or a rowing machine and then cut to some abdominal exercises, and then repeat for a whole training session. Apparently it was effective for increasing muscle and reducing fat especially in the waist/abs region.

I like being able to speak a language well. I feel better after writing or reading the same way I feel better after doing posture workout…like I did something very meaningful…
Also I like nice pronunciation and being well spoken :grin: It’s just sooo pleasurable to talk a language and to like the way it sounds!!!
You’d understand because you’re a rapper and rhyming things is basically what you do… Basically making words appear good to the ear
It’s enjoyable

That’s what’s up! :mechanical_arm:

I can relate to that

Work out articles?

I hear this spot reduction is a lie
But then
What if it ain’t?

lol I remember Manny Pacquiao’s coach claimed he can make him put on fat in specific places and burn fat in others
So he can have a fat shield in places for punches

I was like “liessss all liessss”
lol

Now, I have a more open mind but still don’t believe it lol

Do you remember how many people has tried this in the experiment?

That one might be more like bro science lol

It was one trainer who was exploring the concept in his own workouts. I don’t recall if he expanded it to include anyone else. But he did check his own progress with it and said it had a better overall effect on the abs than when cardio was done as a completely separate thing.

That’s very nice:)

I can freestyle now

Idk if you remember our conversations revolving freestyling
And how I told you I want to be able to do so
And you told me I could accomplish it I believe

But yeah, I’m real happy with it!
It’s opened my eyes to possible business ventures in the future
I think I can even create songs freestyling now
I can remember the chorus I create for later in the freestyle more or less

I think I can probably do some non stop freestyling live streams

I think his abs just got more developed and he interpreted it as local fat loss lol

Could be lol

He was testing that concept out in around 2010.

I tried to search it again, and it looks like there’s an actual research article from 2023 that at least give credence to the idea:

I dunno man

It’s cool there’s some evidence now but
Only 16 overweight guys
They should’ve made them switch groups afterwards

Cuz maybe there where 8 individuals who normally genetically burn fat in their trunks first before any where else and they just so happened to be all on “group a”

What ifffff

Only 3% of the world can do spot reduction?

Imagine there was a gene that made people burn fat locally according to what muscle is being used

And it just so happens that… 100% of these guys work out and are the ones in the fitness community/industry/world saying it works!

I remember searching this up back then and always getting the same answer cause basically everyone was copying from eachother. But I was sure it’s possible of course. Then I found some articles proving that

I see.
Honestly, I feel like if I search it up I can definitely find very good advice for anything health and fitness related on the internet

Of course I remember.
You were already freestyling then I believe

That’s dope, man. How good. Glad to hear that for real. Enjoy yourself :massage_woman:t2:

Bro, you’re talking to servitors and you doubt spot reduction? :rofl:

Nah I think I probably said how I can do it but not really

Maybe it was like this

I put a rock
In my sock
And it can talk
But it’s not a rock
Look, 6 o clock :arrow_down:

I used to have a servitor embued on Moldavite that I kept in my sock lol

But yeah It was very amateurish and wouldn’t last more than 20 seconds
Now it’s worthy to be their own songs at times
