I see people doing that in the gym lately. I have no idea why.
What movement in any sports are you doing that movement? No one in baseball, hockey, basketball or football is dry humping another player with that amount of force.
I always wanted to know what the reason for it was and is it safe ?
I've read it works gluts .

Brett Contreas the "Glute Guy" uses it a lot for his female clients.

Never understood that line of thinking. Some cats get straight up offended that dudes like chicks with some muscle on them
As a gym head and someone who knows a little about nutrition etc that's attractive to me knowing a woman is putting that kinda care into herself
i bought a 4 stalk bag of celery from costco a few days ago and it seems like it has cut down my recovery time. been eating it raw with almond butter and slicing it up and putting it in turkey veg. soup.
found an article on it.
Eat This Now: Celery
No cocktail stirrer on hand to mix up your favorite drink? Grab a celery stick.

Whether you prefer the childhood snack "Ants on a Log" or a little crunch with your spicy buffalo wings, this low-calorie vegetable rarely gets the attention it deserves. Whereas dieters may gravitate toward celery due to its possible diuretic properties (the research focuses mostly on celery seeds), athletes know better than to go to extremes to change their body composition when they risk compromising performance and recovery. We can all agree that celery won’t fuel an IRONMAN, but think twice about neglecting this key food.
If there is one word that catches triathletes' attention, it’s "anti-inflammatory." In addition to the many antioxidants found in celery to help protect against oxidative stress, celery helps protect against inflammation. Celery is unique in that its structure is not made from simple sugars, which is common in many vegetables and fruits. Celery contains non-starch polysaccharide called pectins. Celery’s under-the-radar fame may be due to the high amount of phytonutrients it contains prior to harvesting--and which continue to increase until consumption.
Although celery may help repair muscle damage after exercise (in addition to other methods of recovery), celery has an added anti-inflammatory benefit: it may prevent inflammatory reactions in the digestive tract and blood vessels. The pectin-based polysaccharides found in celery appear to improve the health of the stomach lining and to better control digestive secretions. Although a triathlete’s cardiovascular system is inevitably strong , many are quick to blame the diet for unwanted gastrointestinal stress. Perhaps it’s not what you’re eating that’s causing the GI issues that are bothering you, but rather what you are not eating.
Considering that oxidative stress and excessive inflammation are key risk factors for many types of cancers, celery may decrease levels of pro-inflammatory cytokinesto help reduce unwanted inflammation. Of course, any smart athlete would want a healthy cardiovascular system considering that we don’t even think twice when getting our heart rates up to 70-100 percent of our max.
Snapshot
- There are no negative calorie foods that will burn belly fat. The thermic effect of food (TEF) wastes about 10% of most dietary calories due to processing food for energy use and storage. With 10-calories in a stalk of celery, consider this "free" food as being one with negligible calories. But just like other foods high in water and packed with fiber, there will be a limit as to how much you can comfortable consume before feeling full (thus controlling intake), unlike calorie-dense foods that make it easy for calorie-overconsumption.
- One pound of celery (or about 16 stalks) equals four cups of chopped celery. One cup of chopped celery contains 20 calories, 80 mg of sodium, 2g carbohydrates, 2g fiber, 2g sugar and meets 8% vitamin A, 4% vitamin C, 37% vitamin K, 10% folate and 4% calcium needs (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).
- There are nutrient benefits in all parts of the plant, including the leaves, stalk, root and seeds. You may need to shop at a large natural-food store (ex. Whole Foods Market) or a farmers market to find celery root as the major producers of celery in the U.S. generally distribute the stalks to grocery stores. Celery leaves are rich in vitamin C, calcium and potassium.
Choice and storage
- Celery should snap easily when pulled apart and should look crisp. The leaves should be free from yellow or brown spots. Celery should be stored (uncut) for 5-7 days in the refrigerator (about 40°F/4°C). After seven days, phenolic antioxidants in celery may be lost. For more nutritional value, chop celery just before adding it to your dishes.
- If your celery wilts due to being kept at room temperature for more than several hours, sprinkle a little water on it and place in the refrigerator for a few hours to regain some of its crispness.
Prep ideas
- Add to your favorite salad recipe (vegetarian, chicken or tuna).
- Add chopped to your recovery smoothie (you won’t taste it!).
- Replace granola bars with celery, raisins and nuts (just like the good ole days) and snack on celery and salsa as a pre-meal snack.
- Add celery root and leaves to soups, stews, pastas and casseroles.
- Grill, broil, marinate celery or create a celery slaw.

Bruh, there was a thread on here saying that Anllela Sagra looked like a man and wasn't feminine. Anllela Sagra, who looks like this:
She literally looks like any other Colombian IG chick, just with slightly visible abs.
