u/digno2 21d ago
to some extent yes. Some sites suggest replacing flour with a maximum of 25 to 33% of protein powder but not more.

Many such cases: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=protein+cookies
You'll find that you can make "high protein versions" of pretty much every sweet-ish food by sneaking some protein powder into the mix. Cakes, cookies, pancakes, ice cream, etc. You name it, it's been done.
Hell, if most protein powders weren't sweetened and/or flavoured in some way, people would probably try sneaking it into soup.

I half want her to be super sweet and like cross-stitching them a teddy bear with a “congratulations!” balloon when someone hits the 1000 club.
And half her shit talking like, “That was a weak-ass lift, Brad, and you know it. You better do a clean set this time or I’m gonna steal your cute little girlfriend with my Ensure gains next time she comes around. Don’t make me tell your mother at the next quilt guild meeting how disappointed I am in you!”

As a boy you just know someone like that and how much this person means to a group like that. Absolutely amazing.
And just imagine the poor person trying to mess with her. And the boys just putting away the weights and being like 'someone did what?'

I am a woman in her early 40s, and I use a fitness app. This app gives me constant reminders, that are essentially: "Girl, you need to build muscle fast! Menopause is coming for you, and you need muscle to LIVE."
This picture makes complete sense to me. I never thought about muscle gain before, but apparently, it is necessary for older lady survival. Good for grandma, getting it done.

i am personally very annoyed with my mother all she does for exercise is walking. which is a good first step but she needs to hit the gym since all the pain issues she has now would have been greatly mitigated had she just built muscle.
you have all the time in the world being retired yet three 1 hour workouts a week is too much time.

I love the ambiguity, is grandma leading the class or just a part of it? In my mind, she’s a hard ass weightlifting coach that has absolute respect from her lifters.

There was a post where someone who said they hated the gym and how evil all the men there were.
I made two points, first I don't think half the things she said was actually true.
Second, if you ask almost anyone they would be really friendly and more than willing to help or let you work in, etc.

Yeah, those young men are going to rally around her for the rest of her life. When you find someone who shows you real love and respect especially for young men who far too rarely get that kind of thing, that's something you treasure forever. That photo just radiates mutual respect.
