I have ADHD & terrible interoception and apparently also terrible video literacy bc I can’t tell 😄 Ive always struggled with dead lifts and actually decided to quit before I read someone on here recommending to think of it more as a hinge than a pull. Am I successfully doing that here?? Also, is it cool that I don’t put the bar on the ground between reps?? I always hated having to ‘reset’ again each time after putting it down (shoulders back, chest forward etc)… but now I’m wondering if my form is worse for it (shoulders falling forward,chest dropping??).

Thank you for any help 💓💓💓

Yooo I made a protein smoothie ft both spinach and cauliflower bc I’ve not had a lot of veg lately and I fully expected it to taste just OK but it actually tastes AMAZING. Besides the fruit and the fact that this protein powder is sweetened lmao, I think the “secret” is the combination of hemp seeds + lemon!!! Creamy & tangy 😋

Ingredients:

- frozen spinach
- frozen smoothie mix (blueberries, currants, banana)
- frozen cauliflower
- peel + juice of one lemon
- this protein powder
- matcha powder
- hemp seeds
- some soy milk (let the spinach thaw in this in the fridge to make it easier to blend)
- water

IMAGE DESCRIPTIONS:

Image #1: purple smoothie in a plastic blending jug. Light green reusable straw. Stood on a wooden table, TV and and living room mess in the background.

Image #2: Shelf of protein powders at the store. The one in the middle is from BioTechUSA. It’s in a brown and green paper bag and it says VEGAN PROTEIN in big letters. Below: ‘Plant protein drink powder with quinoa, goji and açai berry’ and ‘Vanilla cookie flavoured’.

Someone posted their lupini bean meal here the other day and I learned that they actually are higher protein than soy beans!! So rather than a raw block of tofu, I took a jar of Saladitos to the sea with me after the gym

EDIT: see the comments for nutritional info!

EDIT #2: ok it wasn’t that shitty bc I also had hummus, stuffed vine leaves, spinach & flat breads 😄 and see the comments for dessert !!! The Vanilice were divine and went really well with the chestnuts !!! And I was so happy to find coconut cubes that were 100% coconut and didn’t contain gelatine

Frozen peas (about 250g) blended with the following
- raisins
- roasted coconut flakes
- syrup
- vanilla powder
- rum aroma
- a little salt
- some soy yoghurt
- a little oat milk

It’s really goood!!!!!

EDIT: I also added a square of dark choc before the last blitz!!!

I’m autistic and lookalikes/similarities is one of my special interests so I was so excited when I came across this sub, I’m curious if you know of any doppelgängers for me aaaaahhh

6 kg vs 3 kg dumbbells

Am I hitting the lats at all?? 😄 what can I improve! Thank u 🙏🏻

EDIT: thank you for teaching me the difference between lateral movements and the lat[issimus dorsi]s! I had it all confused 😄

This protein bar from RE:DO is really nice!! I like that it has sugar bc I needed a little pick me up before the gym and something with sugar alcohols would probs make me super bloated. Beware that it also has wheat protein/gluten, so not for the coeliacs

- soy TVP chunks
- roasted & salted edamame* beans
- roasted & salted chickpeas
- roasted pumpkin seeds
- almonds
- banana chips
- dried pineapple pieces
- hair, skin & nails vitamin gummies (raspberry flavour from Yummylab)
- creatine gummies (Ice Tea Peach flavour from Bodylab)

* why are whole / less processed soy beans called edamame?? Is it a specific sort or?? It’s a cool name BUT I always have the urge to just call them soy beans because I feel like a lot of omnis who are otherwise soyphobic happily eat them not realising that they are in fact soy beans…

Served with raw asparagus, green beans with sesame seeds, kidney beans with garlic, salted peanuts, Plain Gathia chickpea sticks and lotsa sweet&sour sauce.

OK so I used that trick for thinning down dried up nail polish with nail polish remover on this 10 in 1 nail repair from Essence and then applied it as a base coat. But then I remembered that acetone can dry out nails….. so isn’t it problematic that I just applied it to my naked nails and am allowing it to stay on? I also couldn’t add just one or two drops bc the bottle of remover is the push-down kind that you use with a cotton round so a lot came out and into the polish….

Do you think it is damaging my nails? Should I remove it and start over? Or is any damage already done? Thank you!!

Someone posted asking if Brønshøj was a part of the CPH delivery area (it is). I couldn’t figure out how to post a photo in the comments, so here it is
