This is going to be a Facebook post, but I'm still banned for another ~15 hours:
I watched Road Trip again today...I was curious about how the actress who played Rhonda was doing today - Mia Amber Davis. As a plus-size woman, I thought there was a possibility she passed away.
Sadly, I learned that she did pass away. In 2011. She was 36.
This "Health at any body weight" bullshit has to stop. It HAS TO STOP.
I honestly think some of the #MeToo bullshit is pushed by women who are simply jealous of other women who get more attention - so they want a cultural environment where more men are basically like "Screw it - I'm just go home and jerk off."
And the post-2017 sex recession is proving exactly that - men are withdrawing from women because of the increased liability caused by #MeToo bullshit.
Back to the "Health at any body weight" bullshit - I think this is also stemming from the same sorts of unattractive <often overweight > women who push #MeToo feminism.
I think these women WANT other women to be fat. So they are not alone in being fat. You know...misery loves company, and all that.
Strongman Dominic Filiou died this year of heart failure. He was 41.
Bench press specialist Gene Rychlak died last week. He was 51.
One local strongman said the dumbest shit on the planet to me: that I never improve in strength, and shouldn't keep asking how.
Get this straight: I am NOT going to push my body weight up. And I can only get so strong at 175-lb. And I believe that I'm around 90% of my maximum genetic potential at 175. I simply can't get much stronger. Maybe in the legs, since I neglected them so much. But sure as hell not in the upper body.
I think I could add 10% on my deadlift.
But with family and a life...that may not be realistic for me.
Bottom line: I care a LOT about my health. And one thing super-centenarians <people aged 110+ > have in common is caloric restriction.
Reading studies on low calorie diets in mice and the effects of those diets slowing aging had a massive impact on me.
Anyway.
Mind your body weight. It's important. It's so important.
We need to stop this health at any body weight bullshit.
RIP Mia Amber Davis.
