There are a lot of problems with the halth system in USA. One that immediately appeared to me it is its complexity. There so many insurances, so many plans, so many options that I would find myself lost trying to divine which combination is best for me. I can think that this applies to almost...

It\s really interesting to see how Chinese activities in Africa and SEA have created a strong dislike of them

No, it's not humble brag. If I brag I do it explicitly! :) See 180 and 190 kg deadlift https://m.youtube.com/shorts/AmFtlSAOOAw I am a bit lost: I reached a point that I cannot progress further. I can not add more load. I can not do more volume at the same load. Both lead to injury: it's a bit...

I reached 240 on squat and 190 on deadlift. I am 84kg and not young anymore. Indeed there isn't much more gain for myself and I do risk injuries if I push it too much (I did injured my knees). I should settle for a good plan of maintenance, but as soon as I start writing down my sets I always...

Indeed I was squatting over 200kg and did it far too many times for each set... My knees didn't like it. So I had to stop for a while (two weeks it's not good yet): as I said my body told me very clearly that I overdone it. :( Now I restarted doing 5 sets of 5 (instead of 8 sets of 20) for most...

I have a question about volume training, or better explained: I am trying to understand how much volume is reasonable for someone who doesn't want to be a body builder but keep himself in good shape. I started recording the volume of my gym sessions only at the end of the summer. At that time...

it's a clearly subjective, but it depends what you (are supposed to) sacrifice for. If my sacrifice saved the lives of children in a school shooting, it's a worty sacrifice and a cowardice to don't do it. If my sacrificy saves my TV from being stolen from my home, it's not worth it. It's now...

With regular training almost everyone can get to deadlift 1.5 to 2 times their body weight (I am about 82-83 Kg).

a deadlift from this morning... https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zE3JSPfdAGA

This is a good start for a daily exercise. it's also something for which its easy to measure progress: one week you do 30 pushups, the week after 35, then 40, etc. It's very important to see progress and especially for "beginners" it's really important to get motivation and continue exercising...

SARS and MERS have some very important differences to the Wuhan Virus. The affected became contagious after showing symptoms, so it was relatively easy to isolate them before they could infect too many people. In the Wuhan Virus the affected are contagious several days before showing any...

As a curiosity Taiwan has setup "quarantine hotels", where people at high risk will stay. She sent me a photo of the menu served there (breakfast I think)

You may have misunderstood my post (I didn't clarify it). I do agree with you, there are no medical remedies. Non Medical Remedies are the only way. However they do not really stop the virus, they slot it down to a more or less manageable pace. For me stopped is zero new cases... Maybe we differ...

I mentioned the incredbly good job made by Taiwan. there is an article that talks more about it. It's a good reading to compare qhat our countries are (not) doing: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/what-taiwan-can-teach-world-fighting-coronavirus-n1153826

To be able to contain the virus and minimising its effect on lives, health care, and economy requires people to be aware of the dangers and have media and institutions to talk clearly about it. It shouldn't be sugar-coated but not alarmist either: this is not a normal flu and this not...
