The brain is the most active organ in our body, and if you think about corticalization (number of folds-more folds the higher the activity/iq) then any thinking sport would burn loads of calories, though it would be hard to quantify as it varies greatly from person to person.

Stretches? What are those? I want to not be able to fit through doorways....jk. I've found the older I get and the more muscle that gets added, mobility becomes extremely important, so I spend a good 20 minutes every morning on hips, then stretch pretty much everything else out throughout the day.

Eating healthy and consistently (same time, same amount daily) and track your BG, then adjust macro ratio and calories accordingly.

Depends on the specific injury and what exercises you can do safely to strengthen the affected area.

Eat more on training days, less on rest days, go by weekly totals as opposed to daily.

The psychological term is "imaginary audience" and quite normal for young people. Just remember that most everyone else your age feels the same way.

I had a problem with this, then watched a good ole jeff cavaliere video about. I hyperextended (think that's the term) my hands back a little when doing pull exercises and after a few weeks, it completely went away and I went back to a more proper, straight grip.

Chronic inflammation promotes aethroscloritic plaque in the body, especially in the gums. Just read that while studying some A&P, and some studies contend it contributes to cardiovascular disease. Maybe that's what the documentary was referring to.

Just happened to be studying some A&P and came across this. Maybe this is similar to what was contained in the documentary

Well, plexus has had multiple lawsuits for lead poisoning, so you really can't trust their label.

On a proper diet, your body maintains homeostasis. Pills are nonsense.

If you're craving cheese and don't want the extra fat, then ultra processed is the way to go. In the instance of milk, fairlife for example, it just means they are removing the lactase (something like that) sugar molecules, which lowers the carb content, and raises the protein concentration. Those are the only two…

I always thought johnny candito was pretty inspirational. Anyone that weighs 180 and deadlifts 700lbs is on a whole different level.

If you lifted and made a good amount of gains in the process, but it was awhile back, you can typically gain that same muscle back at a much more rapid pace due to satellite cells. Research about them is still ongoing.

I mentioned this in another post, and it depends on how severe your scoliosis is, but I straightened my spine out in the first year of lifting by putting a heavy emphasis (about 50%) of my routine being symmetrical pulling movements which included every variation of row on both cables and machine, lats at every angle, and…

I had a moderate case of scoliosis for a number of years, along with a herniated disk. When I got into weightlifting, I over-emphasized pulls, especially back exercises, and always symmetrical training. I hadn't planned on fixing it, in fact I gave it very little thought because I just enjoyed having a strong back to avoid…

Kodiak pancakes mix, and use fairlife milk, egg beaters, and a serving of pbfit when mixing. Wrap another serving of fried egg whites with ultraprocessed cheese (tostitoes or velvetta mixed in) and fold it over like a sandwich. Drizzle a little sugar free maple syrup and you've got a nutrient dense, tasty, low calorie-high…

Maybe in the coming years it will become a more refined product, but right now the absorbtion rate is very low and liable to irritate your stomach if taken in the right quantity to match what you would absorb through whey.

If I bench what I deadlift, does that mean my chest is jacked? Or are my legs as spindly as my upper body?

For a beginner, just do a push pull routine. No need to get all crazy and with tires and hammers and such. Half the time that "functional" stuff just grinds cartlidge and causes injuries anyways.

Lift for a year with some high protien in your diet and you'll be fine. Thems the newbie gains phase. After that, when the muscle becomes much harder to put on/fat harder to loose, then get into all the technical diet stuff.

I know anything under 3hrs a night is proven to adversly affect brain function and memory. Some are perfectly fine with 4, others 10, just depends on a variety of factors. I know the healthier you are, you'll generally need less than the daily reccomendation.

Hit each body part twice a week and progressive overload. Thats all you need for at least the first couple years. No reason to get overly complex with a program designed by someone with a totally different frame and muscle build than your own. Just an opinion.

I recomp and can say that it is very, very slow going in both muscle gains, and fat loss, but easier on the ole stomach and you maintain more consistent energy levels. Getting down to a 4 pack is easy. A 6 pack more difficult, and shredded abs are like playing a video game on the hardest difficulty.

You could try changing the pace. 1 second up, 3 seconds down, or something along those lines. Or a machine/cable pull down and up the weight. If I remember right, jeff also recommended a wider grip for more lat activation which makes it a bit harder. My gym gets a bit crowded so belts always seemed like a bit of a hassel…
