Eventually yes, imo. I mean I am not saying that calisthenics for the lower body and hips are totally useless. In fact, someone who is a complete newbie or is totally untrained and out of shape should definitely start out just doing a good full body calisthenics workout program. However, I don't think that calisthenics alone is going to get you far in the long-run with building muscle mass and strength in the hips and lower body.

Yeah, I am cautiously optimistic that the Biden administration will end up doing a god job at handling this immigration problem and will be better than trump administration with handling immigration overall in the long-run. Btw, the Biden administration wants to pass a big infrastructure bill for overhauling and upgrading America’s physical infrastructure. Do you think it will get passed?

Oh God! How tragic! I am truly sorry for your loss. I can’t even begin to imagine how painful this must be for you and your family. Feel free to reach out to me through PM if you need someone to talk to.

Bodyweight training and calisthenics definitely can built significant muscle mass especially when done in very challenging positions with good form and full ROM. However, you are going to need at least some kind of equipment that will be conducive to building considerable muscle mass and strength. Watch gymnasts and others like those barstarzz trainees: However, I think that the most effective way to build solid muscle in your legs, hips, and lower back is through moderate to heavy barbell or dumbbell training such as any of the barbell or dumbbell squat variations, any barbell or dumbbell deadlift variations, any of the barbell or dumbbell lunge variations, etc.

You need need about 1g per lbs. of bodweight at the most. Consuming anymore protein than that for myself will only be useless for our body. Even the the top athletes and fitness models in the world rarely if ever need to consume more 1g of protein per lbs. of bodweight. In fact, consuming more than that might put your kidneys and liver at risk of being damaged. Plus, a lot of excess protein usually gets converted and stored as fat in the body. The only individuals in the world who may need to consume way more than that for their own bodies would possibly be those who are truly desiring to achieve monstrous or freakish levels of muscle mass and strength like those pro bodybuilders or the strongest heavyweight to super heavy weight competitors in pro strongman competitions, elite level olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, etc. Usually eat low sugar cereal or oatmeal everyday for breakfast, a flax muffin. For lunch, I usually have some pieces of some kind of lean meat or turkey like along with one or two pieces of fruit and low saturated fat and low sugar yogurt. For dinner, I sometimes have chicken, fish, pasta, whole foods. For dessert, I usually have low fat yogurt or sugar free popsicles. Before the COVID pandemic, I used to buy nuts at grocery that were very low in saturated fat and very low in sugars, but pretty high in unsaturated fats with moderate levels of protein. Also, I like to eat another bowl of cereal at night.

So, then why are there more people in the US these days who are actually for culturally liberal issues and liberal judges (which are both stage Green if I am not mistaken)? Also, why have conservatives lost the popular vote in almost every presidential election since 1992? Furthermore, why are more people in our country in support of Democratic US senators (stage Orange/Green people if I am correct) than Republican US senators (stage Blue/Orange people if I am correct)?

Leo, why weren't the Spartans also stage Blue? I get why you say that they are strong examples of stage Red, but the Spartans were totally militaristic (stage Blue trait), incredibly disciplined (stage Blue trait), had a well-ordered society (stage Blue trait), heavily emphasized loyalty to one another (stage Blue trait), highly religious (stage blue trait), and completely devoted and sacrificed their entire lives for the greater good of their state (stage blue trait). Also, according to History.com the world Spartan literally means "self-restrained, simple, frugal and austere," all of which obviously typify stage Blue. Do you agree?

So, do you think that our country has more liberals or more conservatives?
-
You really want to subject yourself to such danger?

Well, I guess we don't need to fret about it. At least not yet for a long while. Democrats and Liberals will indeed continue to keep on fighting for people's rights and hopefully continue to improve their campaign strategies over time. Other than that, let's see what happens in the future. Thanks guys.

I wonder how long humans will continue to exist for.

I agree with that. However, how do you think these new sweep voting restrictions will affect the elections coming up this year or the mid-term elections next year or the 2024 general election?

Why did they need to modify that? You've always had to give your license ID number, which they carefully process through the government's system.

There isn't exactly one sport activity or specific type of training regimen that would be the best at improving all of those physical abilities together. However, I would personally recommend you join any martial arts class, program, style that's physically demanding like Karate, Taekwondo, Shaolin Kung-fu, Hapkido, boxing, kicking boxing, BJJ, etc. Styles of martial arts like train speed of movements, power, fast metabolism, joint and body flexibility, and your overall energy systems to the max. They also build some degree of raw strength, but usually not to a sufficient level. That's why you still need to lift moderate to heavy weights to really build above average strength and solid muscle mass. Also, no exercise regimen itself will ever be enough to effectively improve both your metabolism and your management of your bodyweight. That's why nutrition is at least half the battle.

lol. The shape and size of each of your toes are due to your own genetics. The only thing that can be done to change any of them is surgery.

You know, I've never thought about that because I actually don't really watch soccer games. Though, if I was forced to choose, then I guess it would have to be David Beckham. IDK. Sorry. lol

I am totally with you on everything you said OP. That's why I've always rarely drank alcohol. That's also why I a lot wish alcohol was illegal. Unfortunately, according to US history, prohibiting alcohol doesn't or didn't work in America because there were way too many people who ended up opposing the prohibition law. This is why the same things is happening with the decriminalization of marijuana.

Where is this coming from?

Why is most of Africa behind in social development compared to most other parts of the world?
-
Yeah, I agree with all of those points, but which would you rather have? A wealthy or middle-class income?
-
How many more innocent people have to get shot to death before enough people in our country realize that something has to be done to improve our gun control laws?!
-
Ah okay. Yeah, those are very much the same things that legit dating coaches/experts say. Maybe, you should be a dating coach

So, I know that women generally get sexually turned on slower than men. However, I've heard of various reasons as to why this is including women having been socially conditioned by society to usually be afraid of being slut-shamed whereas men generally are not, most women are used to getting constant sexual attention and choices from the opposite sex whereas most men usually don't get much sexual attention and choices from the opposite sex, have more safety issues to be worried about than men do, brain differences between men and women, differences in chromosomes and genetic coding between men and women, etc. Do, any of you guys know or what do any of you think?
-
Yeah, they can be scary if not threatening. Though if they feel the need to assert excessive dominance and control, then wouldn't that make them more masculine?

I've been playing chess for a couple of months now, but I am getting discouraged by it lately because I've been for weeks now stuck at getting a certain level of the computer game.
