Lean Mass Hyper-Responder

The term "lean mass hyper-responder" was coined by software engineer David Feldman on July 3, 2017 while posting in his low-carb diet blog: "Cholesterol Code." The blog post called "Are you a Lean Mass Hyper-responder?" quickly circulated through the low-carb community.

As background, the original term "hyper-responder" was already used by dietary professionals for years prior to Feldman's blog post. And in dietary literature, a "hyper-responder" is someone who adopts a low-carb diet, then experiences dramatic cholesterol elevation. So when Feldman wrote his 2017 blog article, he co-opted "hyper-responder," and crafted his new term "lean mass hyper-responder" to describe what he believes is a metabolically unique sub-set of all hyper-responders. Specifically, some hyper-responders begin a low-carb diet while already in possession of a very lean body mass. And yet in spite of this, they still --quite counter-intuitively-- respond with extreme cholesterol elevation. Additionally, these subjects experience a marked decrease in triglycerides, while exhibiting excellent metabolic health. The entire phenomenon defied a long-standing metabolic theory called "The Lipid Energy Model," presenting a scientific conundrum for Feldman.

Feldman believed that all this was a significant observation worth exploring. And his efforts eventually led to a 2023 research project called "The Lean Mass Hyper-Responder Study" led by Dr. Matthew Budoff and Dr. Nicholas Norwitz at Lundquist, UCLA.
IN A SENTENCE: "Steve has always been a tall, skinny, beanpole of a guy. And then when he went on the carnivore diet, he was still skinny, but his cholesterol went through the roof. His doc said that overall he's pretty healthy, so he might just be a lean mass hyper-responder."

mechanic's lean

To quote wikipedia.com: "A mechanic's lean is a security interest in the title to property for the benefit of those who have supplied labor and/or materials that improve said property. The lean exists for both real property and personal property. Said security interest entitles said mechanic to physically rest his back or shoulder against said item of property (resentful scowling and indignant arms-folding optional) until such time as said property's owner shells out correct payment for said property-improving labor and/or materials."
The primary purpose of outlawing running-boards on most modern vehicles was not for safety-reasons; it was to discourage garage-repairmen from performing mechanic's leans on said vehicles while people were trying to drive around town.

The leaning Tower of Lisa

The sexual position of having a naked woman bending over into the downward dog position with her ass high in air while her head is close to the floor. One person (male or female) explores the backside of the woman with hands and or mouth while the other person (male) lays flat on the floor and slides under the woman's face allowing the woman to lick/suck his cock/balls.
My good friend and I convinced his girl to travel overseas in the bedroom as we performed the unique 3 way position of the leaning tower of Lisa

Levy County Lean

Truck style that only works on Chevy and GMC Trucks. Don’t try to use on a FORD otherwise you will be found broken down on the side of the road. Levy County lean lifts the front 2 - 12” while removing the blocks, leaf springs or adding drop shackles. You should not be able to see over your hood of the truck while "leanin", the truck should feel as you're in a space ship pointed towards the sky. After the lean is installed this increases towing capacity, miles per gallon and adds horsepower.
Oh look ole JJ got that Levy County Lean on his 90's body style Chevy Silverado.
