Strawberries have a compound in them called anthocyanin, which is found the most in ripe strawberries. The nifty thing about anthocyanin is that it binds with proteins in food and allows the body to absorb said protein quicker and more effectively. As far as fitness is concerned, this means that it boosts your gains significantly and makes you gain muscle more effectively. Since milk is a good source of protein, combining it with strawberries (as in REAL strawberries, not that artificial flavorant crap) pretty much doubles the benefits of doing things like GOMAD.
weird you bring that up. i swear after all these years that fruit is the best post-workout snack... it just is so uplifting, light, and electrifying compared to everything else. fruit is the most underrated category for lifting, period.

>>your grip strength and bite force are two of the strongest predictors of if you'll be able to be physically independent without exercise when you're elderly
Not the most esoteric thing but training bite force also has some great carryover to other lifts and general athleticism, improves jaw / tongue posture and breathing. Strongmen and olympic lifters regularly wear mouthpieces / wax inserts to bite down on while performing.
Try targeting your neck while biting, e.g. wrap a towel around an ez-curl bar / through a chain and do neck curls while holding it in your teeth, or with a resistance band, the other end placed under your feet / wrapped around a pole, etc. Make sure that the weight is mostly held with your molars, not your incisors.

>Any other drumming fitness tips?
yes actually. I consider fitness an essential part of my practice routine as a drummer in a death metal band I have to be both an athlete and a musician. I work squats in the manner Bruce Lee does to develop those fast twitch muscle fibers. light weight. I do 1 plate sets of 12-15 and I do them quickly and I also put a plate under the heels of my feet to get a deep squat everytime. as far as hand speed is concerned there isn't anything better than hacking away at a practice pad for those forearm and finger muscles. having a strong core is essential as well for your balance and posture on the throne so hit your abs directly in addition to whatever compound lifts you're probably doing

This might be the best or at least most interesting thread on IST this month.
when you use a muscle try to consciously focus on it. You can do it by touching your muscle while it's working until you are aware of it. You can actually do more reps doing this shit
I'm not saying this doesn't work, but the explanation is wrong. Nearsightedness is caused by focusing close-up too much. The relaxed state of the eye is focused at infinity; focusing closer takes more and more eye strength. Old people can't read because their eyes have weakened. In that sense, nearsighted eyes are too strong, as though they've lost their range of motion due to heavy compounds and never stretching. If the eye patch works, it's by forcing the covered eye to relax, not by strengthening the other one. I have heard stories of people fixing their vision by never looking at anything close up, which sounds like the same mechanism.

This is a big whitepill. There's ample scientific evidence that positive thinking, i.e. what the based schizos call "manifestation", demonstrably works. I've recently begun to visualize myself as healthier and more muscular, as vividly as I can, while falling asleep. Already my skin is clearing up and I feel nice and strong.
When stuck using a static weight. Like body weight or a limited range of dumbells. Slowing reps is more useful for hypertrophy than increasing reps. Still not as effective as increasing load but it's an option.
Also true. Time Under Tension is super underrated.
Here is a tip, if your gym offers any group fitness classes I highly suggest you do it.

Fruits are good for their micros but the best carb source in the world is honey.
Dairy/milk protein is the healthiest, most bioavailable protein and fat. Eggs also. Meat is poverty food, and if you need to eat make sure to eat ruminant hooved animal meat (cow, lamb, goat, etc). These animals were kept for their milk, not their meat. Fish and birds occasionally.
But the true esoteric knowledge is that sugar is the most anabolic substance on earth, and humans THRIVE on sugar. The issue with modern slopfood is that it is not only sugar, but a bazillion other additives and toxic industrial waste oils and plastics. Bread isn't even bread anymore for sponge-like petroleum derivates. And to top it all off, the sugar in food isn't even sugar, but chemical compounds/sweet salts and syrups. So you're not even eating sugar but sugar replacements and you're told you're eating sugar-coated food and that's what's making you fat and unhealthy.
Muscle building/tissue healing is done on the foundation of sugar. Sugar is the main component behind almost every single important function within your body, including physical strain, healing and recovery and brain function and all the things blood does, it does if it has sugar in it and can actively transport and release it throughout the body. If they function is somehow halted or destroyed (as it happens in diabetes), then your body can't effectively heal itself and will literally decay on its own. That's why diabetics can't close their wounds.
You have been lied. What you're eating is not sugar, but sugar derivates and toxic chemical acidic wastes fats and that destroys your body's ability to use sugar to heal and maintain its health. Old age is not natural, it's the body's inability to constantly heal and rejuvenate itself using sugar. You don't get old because le reasons, you get old because instead of constant rejuvenation, your body natural ability is halted due to the toxic waste environment that we exist in. In a perfect environment, you will never get old.
Heaven is the land of honey and milk after all
We aren't talking regeneration, you aren't regrowing limbs out of thin air and i agree, if we could reduce damage to as little as possible, that would be best. So let's reduce inflammation, let's increase sleep/dreaming. Let's prevent tissue aging and damage from even occurring in the first place, it's NOT NEEDED for peak physical function.
We're talking rejuvenation, your body's ability to retain it's vitality and heal itself when needed. Anabolic vs Catabolic. Catabolism is when all the damage occurs and stacks upon itself: lack of sugar and proteins, injury, lack of sleep, stress, anger, inflammation. Anabolism is when all the good stuff happens: honey and milk and plentiful eating, sleep, walking, dreaming and writing fiction.
Remember. Land of honey and milk, not potatoes and steak.
Can you be more specific about the different kinds of sugars?

this. he had me interested until >the sugar in food isn't even sugar, >What you're eating is not sugar, but sugar derivates
honey is 40% fructose 30% glucose, milk lactose is 47.3% glucose 52.6% galactose, HFCS is 55% fructose 45% glucose. they're all "sugar"

also the problem with HFCS is probably the same as sneed oils - it's highly reactive, spoils + soaks up toxic metals in the factory and was fast tracked into supermarkets despite not being food grade

HFCS's ills are two fold:
Fructose does most of the inflammation from sugar, and it's unbonded so the body utilizes less energy digesting it.
Also not paired with fiber, which all fruit has to counter some of the negative effects of the sugar.
Land of milk and honey was a metaphor for land of plenty, because it was limited / luxury good, not the staple of the diet.

I posted a little earlier to refute this anon's claim, but for you specifically here's the real truth:
You need to actually fricking learn what is being talked about instead of what sounds appealing, otherwise you're just going to swallow the most charming snake oil.
Look up "sugar the bitter truth" on YouTube, a lecture from an endocrinologist that goes into the bodily chemistry.
I am not saying this very often, but you are moronic anon. You try to sound like a based schizo, but its clear you dont understand what are you talking about, and what you say is wrong on multiple levels. And I dont even have anythong agains sugar, I eat milk and honey, its just that your reasoning is really dumb. Catabolism and anabolism are both happening in the body simutaneusly and one cannot exist without another, they need to be balanced. catabolism isnt stress and damage rather it is process that gets rid of damaged stuff. and no sugar isnt what performs function in the body, that is protein, sugar is store of energy. also your AI art is soulless and ugly
The body and brain runs on glucose, which the body produces however much it needs.
Sugar is sucrose is fructose and glucose, and consuming it via diet raises systemic inflammation which affects the brain negatively.
Anta baka.
heaven is the land of honey and milk because those two foods combined make you gain fat the fastest (honey and cream, really, but whatever) and an easy way to gain bodyfat is basically the holy grail for any pre-modern society
i've been growing suspiciously well despite having horrible eating habits and shitty programming. i eat a shitton of candy and sugar. as well as chugging at least half a liter of milk a day. there's definitely something to this.
on any kind of conversation
Always ask a questions
"My dog has been getting super needy lately"
super needy?
"Yeah he ask for treats, cuddles and a lot of attention"
Treats?
"Yeah some kind of sugar based cookies"
Why those cookies?
If you keep asking anything related to what the person said, they will think you
1) are interested in what theyre talking about
2) they will think you are a good listener
From time to time you can say some stuff related to the conversation
"Yeah my dog is like that haha"
but as long as you keep the questions, it will work like a charm
you can even try it now, go to your mother and ask away lad, hours will fly and THAT can be applied to anyone on the world, specially women, after all, everyone likes to be heard
I saw this tip on another thread, goodspeed anon
edgong during 1RM testing makes you able to perform more attempts, your CNS will ignore fatigue and push through because of the reproductive instinct. I myself have hit a bench 1RM on the 8th attempt of a single session.
Doing even a single session of Jefferson curls and Zercher squats or deadlifts a week will pretty much ban you from Snap City for life, as long as you start very light and slowly build up.
>keep a perfectly flat back every time you exercise and never expose your lower back to load >deadlift heavy and get tired, leading to your form slipping >weight is now supported by the untrained lower back instead of the legs >snapcity.gif
vs >slowly expose your lower back to loads and ranges of motion beyond neutral >start with bodyweight or an empty bar if experienced >lower back progressively gets stronger and more resilient >the deadlift situation from before happens and you don't even notice because your back is strong enough to handle it
You can do a similar deal with weighted side bends but you can't go as heavy even after training.
I hate shilling ecelebs but check out @atlaspowershrugged on IG/YT, he's the man for this stuff.
I don't max them out like other exercises, heaviest I've done is 1pl8 but I could probably do 225 if I really wanted to considering that I can do 3pl8 Zerchers.
SquatU genuinely doesn't know what he's talking about. The dude thinks bending your spine will make it explode. Listen to someone who actually regularly does heavy spine bending work instead, like Alec Blenis, rangeofstrength, or the aforementioned atlaspowershrugged (who also mogs SquatU's DYEL ass to oblivion).
>1pl8
60kg? Wow, what depth?
I usually bring the bar to my knees or just below on a good day. Sometimes I "cheat" by bending at the knees slightly to get that last bit of flexion out of my spine, bringing the bar to my upper shins. I have shit ankle mobility which is partly why I do stuff like Zerchers in the first place. My RoM has noticeably improved since I started doing this stuff but I have a ways to go.
your lower back will be under load you stupid moron, what the frick do you think holds you up in q deadlift?
the lower back being stretched under load is the problem.
Do ISTlets really? goddamn
I should have been more clear, "under load" is vague. I'm not wrong, though.
In a conventional deadlift the primary mover is the quads, while a tired or careless lifter will let their back slip out of neutral and into flexion, putting most of the force needed to move the weight onto the lower back. In either spinal position both muscle groups have to function somehow or else you would just fall over, but what differs is the primary mover. Those who rarely train the lower back will suddenly expose it to huge amounts of weight in this scenario, likely leading to injury, while those who progressively trained it will be just fine assuming all other factors are equal, as they've given it time to adapt.
It's strange that people see the lower back as fragile or made of glass when any other muscle or group is widely accepted to be capable of progressive strengthening and mobility enhancement.
>in a conventional deadlift the primary mover is the quads
what you just said takes away value from everything else you have and anything else you are about to say.
The quadriceps are 4 muscles (+1 useless one we wont consider), 3 of these muscles (the vastuses) extend the knee, aka they move the tibia forwards, the other muscle extends the knee and flexes the hip, meaning in a deadlift or squat it does nothing.
Now, in a deadlift your quads dont mive the weight, becausd the quads move the tibia, if they did they would kick you backwards, what the quads to is hold you and the eeight isometrically while the hips drive through and the back holds the weight for the hips to do the work.
Look at it as a book, keep it in the air, open, and place one of the two cover-sides on a surface, now push with your other hand through the middle of the book to make it become straight. The pages/cover above is the back holding the weight, the page/cover below is your femur and your hand pushing the book open is the glutes.
rape visualization before a set will increase your performance
the effect is doubled if you imagine raping a man in the gym who is lifting less than you

2. You can recreate your newbie gains experience by putting weights that make you absolutely struggle to lift them, machines are perfect for that so abuse them
3. You can imagine yourself as hercules to get his gains. Everyday strike a pose that resembles him for a 5 minutes while picturing yourself as him, you'll start to adopt his personality and get his size

Distracting (pulling apart) joints under load is better than compressing joints under load. All things equal, a deadhang, club swing, kettlebell snatch, bulgarian bag spin, or all that meme shit is goign to spare your elbows and shoulders better than the equivalent OHP/bench/pullup/row.
Loaded carries are best bang for buck. Do them heavy. Do them often. Do them for the maximum TUT you can manage.
Before doing a set, take 5 seconds to think about your performance and technique, remind yourself of all important points. That's the opposite of just "going through the motion" and how you acquire quality sets.
When stuck using a static weight. Like body weight or a limited range of dumbells. Slowing reps is more useful for hypertrophy than increasing reps. Still not as effective as increasing load but it's an option.
Visualization is key.
If you can visualize yourself to be bigger and better looking, your divine spark will move the powers of the universe to shape you according to your will.
Believe that you are the center of your own universe and that you have control over your fate.

>Any other drumming fitness tips?
yes actually. I consider fitness an essential part of my practice routine as a drummer in a death metal band I have to be both an athlete and a musician. I work squats in the manner Bruce Lee does to develop those fast twitch muscle fibers. light weight. I do 1 plate sets of 12-15 and I do them quickly and I also put a plate under the heels of my feet to get a deep squat everytime. as far as hand speed is concerned there isn't anything better than hacking away at a practice pad for those forearm and finger muscles. having a strong core is essential as well for your balance and posture on the throne so hit your abs directly in addition to whatever compound lifts you're probably doing

when you use a muscle try to consciously focus on it. You can do it by touching your muscle while it's working until you are aware of it. You can actually do more reps doing this shit
what are the vision training gains, and how does one train vision?
For example
I'm not saying this doesn't work, but the explanation is wrong. Nearsightedness is caused by focusing close-up too much. The relaxed state of the eye is focused at infinity; focusing closer takes more and more eye strength. Old people can't read because their eyes have weakened. In that sense, nearsighted eyes are too strong, as though they've lost their range of motion due to heavy compounds and never stretching. If the eye patch works, it's by forcing the covered eye to relax, not by strengthening the other one. I have heard stories of people fixing their vision by never looking at anything close up, which sounds like the same mechanism.

This is a big whitepill. There's ample scientific evidence that positive thinking, i.e. what the based schizos call "manifestation", demonstrably works. I've recently begun to visualize myself as healthier and more muscular, as vividly as I can, while falling asleep. Already my skin is clearing up and I feel nice and strong.
Also true. Time Under Tension is super underrated.

Why are you seething?
The better you are at a lift, the less efficient it is at building muscle.
Here is a tip, if your gym offers any group fitness classes I highly suggest you do it.

Fruits are good for their micros but the best carb source in the world is honey.
Dairy/milk protein is the healthiest, most bioavailable protein and fat. Eggs also. Meat is poverty food, and if you need to eat make sure to eat ruminant hooved animal meat (cow, lamb, goat, etc). These animals were kept for their milk, not their meat. Fish and birds occasionally.
But the true esoteric knowledge is that sugar is the most anabolic substance on earth, and humans THRIVE on sugar. The issue with modern slopfood is that it is not only sugar, but a bazillion other additives and toxic industrial waste oils and plastics. Bread isn't even bread anymore for sponge-like petroleum derivates. And to top it all off, the sugar in food isn't even sugar, but chemical compounds/sweet salts and syrups. So you're not even eating sugar but sugar replacements and you're told you're eating sugar-coated food and that's what's making you fat and unhealthy.
>But the true esoteric knowledge is that sugar is the most anabolic substance on earth
???
Muscle building/tissue healing is done on the foundation of sugar. Sugar is the main component behind almost every single important function within your body, including physical strain, healing and recovery and brain function and all the things blood does, it does if it has sugar in it and can actively transport and release it throughout the body. If they function is somehow halted or destroyed (as it happens in diabetes), then your body can't effectively heal itself and will literally decay on its own. That's why diabetics can't close their wounds.
You have been lied. What you're eating is not sugar, but sugar derivates and toxic chemical acidic wastes fats and that destroys your body's ability to use sugar to heal and maintain its health. Old age is not natural, it's the body's inability to constantly heal and rejuvenate itself using sugar. You don't get old because le reasons, you get old because instead of constant rejuvenation, your body natural ability is halted due to the toxic waste environment that we exist in. In a perfect environment, you will never get old.
Heaven is the land of honey and milk after all
every time a cell splits it becomes a worse copy of itself the less your body needs to "rejuvenate" the better
We aren't talking regeneration, you aren't regrowing limbs out of thin air and i agree, if we could reduce damage to as little as possible, that would be best. So let's reduce inflammation, let's increase sleep/dreaming. Let's prevent tissue aging and damage from even occurring in the first place, it's NOT NEEDED for peak physical function.
We're talking rejuvenation, your body's ability to retain it's vitality and heal itself when needed. Anabolic vs Catabolic. Catabolism is when all the damage occurs and stacks upon itself: lack of sugar and proteins, injury, lack of sleep, stress, anger, inflammation. Anabolism is when all the good stuff happens: honey and milk and plentiful eating, sleep, walking, dreaming and writing fiction.
Remember. Land of honey and milk, not potatoes and steak.
Can you be more specific about the different kinds of sugars?
Cane sugar, HFCS, maple, fruit... Which are good and which are toxic?
>Milk and honey
Milk has lots of sugar too, is it high quality? Do I still need the honey if I get lots of dairy?
this. he had me interested until
>the sugar in food isn't even sugar,
>What you're eating is not sugar, but sugar derivates
honey is 40% fructose 30% glucose, milk lactose is 47.3% glucose 52.6% galactose, HFCS is 55% fructose 45% glucose. they're all "sugar"
why not use starch instead for a slower release?
also the problem with HFCS is probably the same as sneed oils - it's highly reactive, spoils + soaks up toxic metals in the factory and was fast tracked into supermarkets despite not being food grade
HFCS's ills are two fold:
Fructose does most of the inflammation from sugar, and it's unbonded so the body utilizes less energy digesting it.
Also not paired with fiber, which all fruit has to counter some of the negative effects of the sugar.
you are talking to a schizo
Land of milk and honey was a metaphor for land of plenty, because it was limited / luxury good, not the staple of the diet.
I posted a little earlier to refute this anon's claim, but for you specifically here's the real truth:
You need to actually fricking learn what is being talked about instead of what sounds appealing, otherwise you're just going to swallow the most charming snake oil.
Look up "sugar the bitter truth" on YouTube, a lecture from an endocrinologist that goes into the bodily chemistry.
In catabolism the body can eat the worst parts of itself so that you end up with better body
True. That's why HGH increases during fasting.
I am not saying this very often, but you are moronic anon. You try to sound like a based schizo, but its clear you dont understand what are you talking about, and what you say is wrong on multiple levels. And I dont even have anythong agains sugar, I eat milk and honey, its just that your reasoning is really dumb. Catabolism and anabolism are both happening in the body simutaneusly and one cannot exist without another, they need to be balanced. catabolism isnt stress and damage rather it is process that gets rid of damaged stuff. and no sugar isnt what performs function in the body, that is protein, sugar is store of energy. also your AI art is soulless and ugly
muscle is only 22% protein
Why not 100%? Meat is meat, after all.
The body and brain runs on glucose, which the body produces however much it needs.
Sugar is sucrose is fructose and glucose, and consuming it via diet raises systemic inflammation which affects the brain negatively.
Anta baka.
>and consuming it via diet raises systemic inflammation
Proof? The frick is even "systemic inflammation"?
heaven is the land of honey and milk because those two foods combined make you gain fat the fastest (honey and cream, really, but whatever) and an easy way to gain bodyfat is basically the holy grail for any pre-modern society
True.
i've been growing suspiciously well despite having horrible eating habits and shitty programming. i eat a shitton of candy and sugar. as well as chugging at least half a liter of milk a day. there's definitely something to this.
Any tips to cope with autism in social interactions?
social interaction is cardio so you'll need electrolytes and optimized sleep, listen to talk radio and interviews often, chelation therapy
on any kind of conversation
Always ask a questions

super needy?
"Yeah he ask for treats, cuddles and a lot of attention"
Treats?
"Yeah some kind of sugar based cookies"
Why those cookies?
If you keep asking anything related to what the person said, they will think you
1) are interested in what theyre talking about
2) they will think you are a good listener
From time to time you can say some stuff related to the conversation
"Yeah my dog is like that haha"
but as long as you keep the questions, it will work like a charm
you can even try it now, go to your mother and ask away lad, hours will fly and THAT can be applied to anyone on the world, specially women, after all, everyone likes to be heard

Doing even a single session of Jefferson curls and Zercher squats or deadlifts a week will pretty much ban you from Snap City for life, as long as you start very light and slowly build up.
How does it works?

>deadlift heavy and get tired, leading to your form slipping
>weight is now supported by the untrained lower back instead of the legs
>snapcity.gif
vs
>slowly expose your lower back to loads and ranges of motion beyond neutral
>start with bodyweight or an empty bar if experienced
>lower back progressively gets stronger and more resilient
>the deadlift situation from before happens and you don't even notice because your back is strong enough to handle it
You can do a similar deal with weighted side bends but you can't go as heavy even after training.
I hate shilling ecelebs but check out @atlaspowershrugged on IG/YT, he's the man for this stuff.
What's your one rep max on jefferson curl?
I don't max them out like other exercises, heaviest I've done is 1pl8 but I could probably do 225 if I really wanted to considering that I can do 3pl8 Zerchers.
>1pl8
60kg? Wow, what depth?
Please don't spread suicide calls among our fellow fitizens...
SquatU genuinely doesn't know what he's talking about. The dude thinks bending your spine will make it explode. Listen to someone who actually regularly does heavy spine bending work instead, like Alec Blenis, rangeofstrength, or the aforementioned atlaspowershrugged (who also mogs SquatU's DYEL ass to oblivion).
I usually bring the bar to my knees or just below on a good day. Sometimes I "cheat" by bending at the knees slightly to get that last bit of flexion out of my spine, bringing the bar to my upper shins. I have shit ankle mobility which is partly why I do stuff like Zerchers in the first place. My RoM has noticeably improved since I started doing this stuff but I have a ways to go.

The frick is this
The future of natty bodybuilding.
your lower back will be under load you stupid moron, what the frick do you think holds you up in q deadlift?
the lower back being stretched under load is the problem.
Do ISTlets really? goddamn
I should have been more clear, "under load" is vague. I'm not wrong, though.
In a conventional deadlift the primary mover is the quads, while a tired or careless lifter will let their back slip out of neutral and into flexion, putting most of the force needed to move the weight onto the lower back. In either spinal position both muscle groups have to function somehow or else you would just fall over, but what differs is the primary mover. Those who rarely train the lower back will suddenly expose it to huge amounts of weight in this scenario, likely leading to injury, while those who progressively trained it will be just fine assuming all other factors are equal, as they've given it time to adapt.
It's strange that people see the lower back as fragile or made of glass when any other muscle or group is widely accepted to be capable of progressive strengthening and mobility enhancement.
>in a conventional deadlift the primary mover is the quads
what you just said takes away value from everything else you have and anything else you are about to say.
The quadriceps are 4 muscles (+1 useless one we wont consider), 3 of these muscles (the vastuses) extend the knee, aka they move the tibia forwards, the other muscle extends the knee and flexes the hip, meaning in a deadlift or squat it does nothing.
Now, in a deadlift your quads dont mive the weight, becausd the quads move the tibia, if they did they would kick you backwards, what the quads to is hold you and the eeight isometrically while the hips drive through and the back holds the weight for the hips to do the work.
Look at it as a book, keep it in the air, open, and place one of the two cover-sides on a surface, now push with your other hand through the middle of the book to make it become straight. The pages/cover above is the back holding the weight, the page/cover below is your femur and your hand pushing the book open is the glutes.
rape visualization before a set will increase your performance
the effect is doubled if you imagine raping a man in the gym who is lifting less than you

2. You can recreate your newbie gains experience by putting weights that make you absolutely struggle to lift them, machines are perfect for that so abuse them
3. You can imagine yourself as hercules to get his gains. Everyday strike a pose that resembles him for a 5 minutes while picturing yourself as him, you'll start to adopt his personality and get his size

Distracting (pulling apart) joints under load is better than compressing joints under load. All things equal, a deadhang, club swing, kettlebell snatch, bulgarian bag spin, or all that meme shit is goign to spare your elbows and shoulders better than the equivalent OHP/bench/pullup/row.
Loaded carries are best bang for buck. Do them heavy. Do them often. Do them for the maximum TUT you can manage.
