The article discusses the concept of "hitting the wall" in running and provides perspectives from various experts on what exactly hitting the wall means. It distinguishes hitting the wall from encountering a rough patch during a run. Hitting the wall is described as reaching a point of complete physical and mental exhaustion where the body has nothing left to give and you can no longer continue running. In contrast, a rough patch involves slowing down but still being able to continue through walking or easing off the pace. The causes of hitting the wall are debated but may involve factors like inadequate training, nutrition or pacing.

The document argues that losing weight fast has psychological and practical advantages over slow weight loss. It claims experts who recommend slow weight loss do so because it benefits their business interests, not people trying to lose weight. Fast weight loss allows quick feedback and motivation, is easier when carrying less weight, and garners more attention and praise from others. While exercise and nutrition are important, fast weight loss makes adopting a healthy lifestyle much more feasible. Losing weight as quickly as safely possible increases chances of long-term success.
At its worst, science fiction reads like the desperate escapism of lonely boys whose only connection to high school sport was having their head slammed into a locker each morning by members of the football team.
There’s a school of thought among a lot of men – especially those who feel somewhat thwarted in love – that ‘hot girls’ are a species all of their own, and that they’re a hostile species at that.
At its worst, science fiction reads like the desperate escapism of lonely boys whose only connection to high school sport was having their head slammed into a locker each morning by members of the football team. It reaches for wild, fantastic landscapes where heroic spacemen wearing glasses and a retainer zap cowering underlings in helmets and shoulder pads with a ray gun. At the other extreme, however, is science fiction that reaches into the human condition to expose universal truths. Along the way, it has an uncanny knack of predicting the future…

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

Don’t do-crossfit-bro
1. Don't Do CrossFit, Bro!
Your favorite coffee shop, the place where you used to get your morning pick-me-up, has turned
into a CrossFit Studio. If it's not your favorite coffee shop, it's that yoga studio where all the
good-looking women used to hang out. No matter where you go these days, you can hardly walk
100 feet in any direction without stumbling upon a bunch of bros and babes working out like
meth heads.
The worst part is that your buddies are probably doing CrossFit too. If they're not, they're
thinking about it because some "ripped guy at the office" or "totally hot chick" told them to.
If you're already in the CrossFit cult, we're not going to try and tell you to stop. You've
consumed the Kool-Aid and taken your vow of idiocy. You'd be smart to quit now, but you
probably won't.
Guys on the fence though, you've still got time to skip the insanity and bull$*@! that is CrossFit.
Keep reading to learn more about why you should say not to CrossFit.
2. You're Going to Get Hurt
When you tell people that doing CrossFit is going to get them hurt, they look at you like you're
crazy. It's exercise, and that's supposed to make you stronger, right? Obviously they've never
heard the horror stories of separated shoulders and serious neck and back injuries.
A recent study published by the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that 73%
of CrossFit participants surveyed were injured so bad they had to skip work, stop training or miss
an important competition. Yes, people actually compete at CrossFit. Of those surveyed, nearly
10% needed surgery!
If you were going skydiving and they told you there was a 73% chance of your parachute not
opening, would you still get on the plane?
3. . . .But I'm In Great Shape!
Okay, so let's say that you're in amazing shape. You're practically a pro athlete. You slam dunk
over cars and the only reason you're not playing pro is because your other career took off first.
The problem with CrossFit is that many, many of the people who take it up are in really great
shape too, and they're a huge portion of that 73% that's getting hurt all over the damn world!
CrossFit doesn't injure people because they can't handle it. CrossFit injures people because the
workout is all wrong.
4. Fast or Good: You Can't Have Both
The number one problem with CrossFit is that the whole thing is about speed instead of form.
Doing dead lifts? Why not crank out 35 in under a minute? Fuck your back!
Got a set of kettlebells? Swing 'em over your head 90 times in a row while a trance beat blasts in
your face. To hell with your neck!
Maybe you're laughing, but those examples aren't far from the truth. CrossFit is all about speed
and going for the gusto, not doing the movements properly.
In fact, most people report that they get less than five minutes of instruction when they're
learning an exercise. Yeah, that's definitely enough time to learn proper form for Olympic lifts
with huge amounts of weight.
You're totally not going to tear anything!
People Will Think You're Stupid
That heading might sound harsh, but it's the truth. If you walk around telling people that you do
CrossFit, anybody who knows better is going to think you're a damn idiot. If you happen to work
with or know any smart people, you're signing in for gasps, eye-rolls and serious laughter
immediately following your first session.
If you don't mind people mocking you and you just can't stand being healthy for another fucking
day, CrossFit is for sure the way to go.
5. Your Trainer Will Also Be Stupid
If you do CrossFit, people will tell you that it's stupid, and by extension, that you're an idiot.
What could be worse than that? A trainer that's a damn fool too.
Seriously, when you sign up for CrossFit, you'll be getting a leader that's proud of his self-
inflicted injuries, including the ones he probably got trying to do 30 Olympic lifts in 15 seconds.
Welcome to CrossFit!
There Are Better Options
Instead of going to CrossFit and having Dr. Dumbass as your pack leader, why not hire a trainer
to show you the ropes and get you on the right track? They'll be able to help with proper form
and develop a workout routine that fits your goals, not the goals of a rabid group of exercise
freaks.
You'll also get a better workout and you won't get fired when you call in sick after your fifth
CrossFit injury. Your boss doesn't want you to be an idiot either.
Can't afford a trainer you say? You only need a few sessions to get the basics and build up a
decent routine. That's going to be a whole lot less than that six-month package of CrossFit
sessions they'll talk you into at the studio.
6. Conclusion
CrossFit is everywhere, but just because other people are jumping off a bridge doesn't mean you
should too. Sure, there's a chance you could land in the water unscathed, but if 73% of people get
hurt, that bridge is one best avoided altogether.
Whenever one of your friends decide they want to get in on the CrossFit craze, repeat this one
phrase to them over and over again.
Don't do CrossFit, bro. Don't do CrossFit, bro.
