I started drinking lmnt which is like a salt drink mix, and I legitimately feel so much better. I didn't know about the muscle gainthing, but that'd explain why my shoulders have been growing. I'm pretty DYEL, and now my close-fit tshirts are tight fit edging towards uncomfortable in the shoulders, while my weights trending down.
The best part really is salt has completely killed the worst of my snack cravings.
Sometimes I wonder if I need more salt and whether I eat too much precisely because I don't eat enough and drink too much water. I'm scared of being wrong and getting too much salt though.
Specific routines don't matter until you have been training hard for over 5 years. 90% of the effectiveness is the amount of effort you put in as long as you work all muscle groups regularly.
I think he means the specific one you pick matters less than your actual consistency. PPL/upperlower/full body all work despite being very different routines
He didn't say enough for four 50 minute videos. >muscle mass is most easily adapted from acute stress >it must be fully recovered from
That's all he had to say. He's right but his work isn't near finished because achieving momentary muscle failure is an art that 99.9% of lifters have never and will never perform. I've only been able to do it once with my triceps. I could not replicate it the next week. In fact volume accrual is arguably better at this point because in the time it takes you to get that good at lifting you could have just grinded the inferior method to completion.
Ah that was just something to listen to, the guy likes to babble. >achieving momentary muscle failure is an art that 99.9% of lifters have never and will never perform
lol what? You've never done a lift to the point where you can't do another without sacrificing form or ROM
>You've never done a lift to the point where you can't do another without sacrificing form or ROM
That's exactly how I lift most of the time. Momentary muscle failure is when your muscle actually fails. It just kinda turns off for a second. Seconds later the feeling comes back and you can't even do a pushup for the next hour. It doesn't just happen because you tried hard. You have to be doing the perfect lift with the perfect weight and have some mechanism to force eccentrics as well be at the level to use such a weight and have ridiculous focus or pain tolerance.
I think you're still not understanding that when he says failure he means it literally. The muscle momentarily shuts down. It then turns right back on but it's too weak to really use for an hour. Then you get extreme doms for several days.

You can lift until you fail to push another rep but it's not the same thing as continuing on to do only eccentrics until the muscle itself fails. You have not done this.

Nope. The muscle is still working even if you're just hold the weight static at the bottom. Making it fail is whole nother level that I apparently can't guide you into conceptualizing.
If you can find a way to become part of that 0.01% then you will get as big as Mentzer, NATTY.
Certainly not. It's just the most efficient way to reach your limit. Doing it consistently without roids though would be indicative of serious potential and you'd probably surpass 25ffmi though.

Isn't this basically what Dorian did? Train until you can't do another rep, then have your training partner give you a boost on the concentric (basically a dropset with progressively less and less weight) until you can't even do any more of those, then get your training partner to lift the weight up for you and do a couple of reps where you're just controlling the speed of the eccentric until you can't even slow the weight down anymore and your muscles are just jelly.

Try 4-5g of gear + growth + insulin. Also there's no reason why natties couldn't do one (1) set like that per session if they're only training 3x a week. Dorian claimed to only do like 3 sets per week per bodypart although I'm pretty sure that's bullshit.

There really is no reason a natty couldn't do this. He would only progress as far as the natty limit and it would take longer but these limitations don't exclusively apply to HIT. It's the case regardless of your method. The problem is that people who lift that fricking hard are almost always the same people who would roid up so it would appear to the midwit that only roiders can lift hard.

AFAIK Yates specifically used dropsets and supersets to achieve failure more than Mentzer, who would try to achieve failure with assisted reps added onto the set itself.

This is exactly why Mentzer is impressive, there's no moronic bullshit like what comes out of your mouths, it's all clear and flowing logic, point A comes from B to C to D, etc... Meanwhile the average person like you is a rambling moron who can't express an argument but only feelings. It's hard to even think of you as a human when you're the logological equivalent of a stumbling chicken with its head cut off.
he's wrong about training frequency, muscles start to atrophy if muscle fibers aren't stimulated hours after using them, there is no mechanistic or biochemical explanation as to why muscles shouldn't atrophy after hours of no use in fact only the opposite exist.

he was wrong, just let it go ffs
he made all of his gains doing full body 3-6x a week, he did change his volume dramatically but the way he trained was still nowhere close to what heavy duty has you train, he never followed his own advice, just look at the routines he used when he was winning contests some of them are legit full body 3x a week routines, when he trained with arthur jones he was forced to do full body 3x a week, then he deloaded to doing an upper lower 2x a week each which is still way more work than heavy duty has you do.
he never trained in that ridiculous one set a week HIT method, it's bullshit, it's not enough to grow muscle unless you are a beginner muscle fibers literally start to fricking atrophy HOURS after last using them.
Natty, age 29. did push ups, pull ups, and baby weight curls, tricep extensions, db press, and body weight squats from 17-23. Did baby weight lifting in a “gym” that maxed out at 60lb DB and could load up an EZ curl bar to deadlift 200lb from 23-25. 25-29, I lift “seriously” for most of the year in a proper gym with barbells, but sometimes I take time off of goal setting and just maintain. I’ve never really gotten “strong” the way that /fit describes. I see people in the gym who have shit gains/aesthetics but can bench lmao2pl8. There’s plenty of guys who squat 3 and 4 pl8 and guys who deadlift 4 or 5 plate, but they are all big (4u) guys over 30. There’s very few “young men” doing big lower body strength lifts. But many men of all ages doing 2pl8 bench. Just not me lmao.
What the frick did you just fricking say about me, you little b***h? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my words. You think you can get away with saying shit to me over the Internet?

>105 OHP
What? I don't work out at all but can OHP 60 lb dumbbells no problem (don't have access to a barbell)
>that body >those lifts
Lmao nope. This board is too easy to frick with.
I guarantee you that I’m not larping or fricking with you. I’ve just never trained for strength longer than 3 months at a time, so I never progress in strength. If you weren’t room temp IQ or if you actually lifted and played sports, you would know that volume and diet play a much bigger role in hypertrophy and leanness than raw strength numbers.
Your numbers do matter though. Those shoulders and delts simply are not stuck at 105lbs for 5. Maybe you preexhausted them and then OHP'd after having already benched heavy and you're moronic enough to think the last set reflects your rep max.
You’re right, I could do more than 105 OHP, but it hurts my shoulders to progress past it. I can do 60lb on DB seated press for 8 reps

There is a correlation because they both use chest and triceps. Theres too many factors to make a direct translation but if you actually barbell benched amd got decent at it you'd be doing well over 250 for reps.
Also, I can’t do 80lb DB for 12. I said 60-80 4x8-12. 80, I can usually do 5-8 reps. 85lb for 5 at my absolute peak strength when I was bulked to 180lb
That's not baby weight. If somebody smaller than you progressed to a 160lb bench they wouldn't be able to dumbbell bench like this and would not be as big as you.

Manlet bros getting GAINZ with weak strength number unite! Just eat well and lift regularly. You’ll get gains (hopefully)
Compounds are a meme, you should do SS for a few months and become a curlbro if you want to look good, or calisthenics if you want to be strong. Don't become a rippletoad
You really don't need to lift heavy to get an aesthetic body
machines and isolation exercises are superior to compound lifts
Machines will never compete with free weights or cables. When you use a barbell or a cable or bodyweight, you are in control, the lift puts you in the drivers seat.
This lets you use a real world pattern of movement and get strong and put on mass. If you use a machine, there is no bar path and you are putting so much stress on your joints by doing an unnatural movement with no real world function.
This. OP's pic inadvertently took the iodine pill and he attributes it to the salt. What he really did was put the iodine back in his diet that everyone takes out these days now that sea salt/Pink Himalayan out of grinders is all the rage.
This man may have had a legit iodine deficiency tbh.
>https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fimmu.2019.01141/full >In summary, we show that a high salt diet significantly delays tumor growth in two independent murine tumor transplantation models. This effect seems to be mediated through enhanced anti-tumor immunity by a functional inactivation of MDSCs. Since high salt conditions also affected human MDSCs in a similar manner, our data suggest that the targeting of this mechanism could potentially be a novel beneficial strategy to block MDSC function in settings of cancer immunotherapy.
>https://suppversity.blogspot.com/2014/10/low-sodium-intake-for-athletes-good-for.html >the low chloride intake that comes hand in hand with a reduction in dietary salt intake has been associated with +21% increased mortality risk.
The borderline (i.e. minimally acceptable) levels of sodium intake for keeping calcium and magnesium level are much higher than the FDA published RDA. Basically, you need at least 63mg/kg of body weight daily sodium intake to prevent the chronic loss of calcium and magnesium. Also, anything below that intake will increase (not decrease) water retention.
For those looking or specific recommendations, since salt is about 40% sodium, you need 10g-15g of salt daily to meet the requirements of these studies. If you use sodium bicarbonate, it is about 27% sodium so that equates to 20g-22g daily intake of baking soda to meet the requirements. Interestingly enough, ingesting 20g-22g of sodium bicarbonate a day is what is typically used in studies showing ergogenic (performance) benefit for athletes.
A high (by RDA standards) salt intake is one of those things that is undeniably beneficial if you actually do your research and use your common sense. If you look at most official dietary recommendations and just do the opposite of what they say, you will end up with an extremely healthy diet: >eat lots of whole grains >avoid saturated fats, eat lots of vegetable fats >dont eat meat, especially red meat >dont eat eggs, have a low dietary cholesterol intake >eat very little sugar, fructose is the worst sugar >eat very little salt
Do the opposite and you have a diet with no grains or seeds, high amounts of fructose from fruit, high amounts of salt, meat, and eggs. Not surprisingly, this is pretty close to the ideal diet.
Agree except eggs should be like 2-3 per day maximum and ideally raw, and red meat shouldn't be overindulged in due to inflammation, high iron levels and tryptophan. Most of your protein should ideally be from gelatin
>For those looking or specific recommendations, since salt is about 40% sodium, you need 10g-15g of salt daily
How the FRICK is anyone supposed to do that. I already put a little over 1 teaspoon of salt in my daily pound of ground beef, and another half teaspoon of salt and half teaspoon of potassium chloride in my water bottle. If I put any more it becomes too salty and my body refuses to eat or drink more. That, combined with natural sources of salt largely in my cheeses and milk come to only 4g of sodium a day.

the guy is the perfect dude who should be out arguing against circumcision. It should be a choice for men to make when they are able to make an educated decision themselves. he put it all together well.
I find it highly suspect that everyone has just been training wrong forever, but the underlying premise is sound - people absolutely can get into good shape with bodyweight. Not competition powerlifter shape, but certainly mog the dyels all the same.
doing chin ups, pushups, and running sounds boring as shit. with my power lifting program every day is different and i get to try new lifts and lift new weights. hit PRs. high five the boys. listen to heavy metal. that dude turns gyming into autism which is cringe.

I pushed through literally every sickle shit matter thinking I was almost there. Little did I know I needed a break, unfortunately it costed me 3-5 months of cut progress, and I think starting this cut again I have to reduce training volume. I literally took a 6 hour nap after the gym I was so exhausted, this was after binging on carbs. I don't know whats going on, I can't stop eating (i dont get full) and I literally feel unable to move some days (energy wise).

Thyroid problem as in? (I don't exactly know how the thyroid works, but I am aware of what it's "supposed" to do) Like I said I've gained weight, but no matter how many binge restricts I do I can't seem to surpass 250 (which without water weight is like 230) this is like binging 2 days in a row, 1k cals for 3, repeat. But I'm starting a real cut now. Also for the energy yeah I'm pretty lethargic most of the time and kind of have to consciously move. It feels good driving because I'm kind of just physically afk but awake you know
>iodized salt
Skip this. Purchase some sea salt and some iodine drops.
The dude is right, but its not strictly the salt that's of concern. Salt is important, however the big notion is the iodine itself. Iodine is one of those extremely low dose micronutrients that has been gradually disappearing from the human diet over the past several centuries.
The only people who shouldn't supplement iodine are those who eat wild caught fish almost daily, and those who have pre-existing thyroid problems requiring medication.
They fortify the food with just enough iodine to keep the average person functionally alive. That doesn't make anything optimal. Just like how the US RDA for protein is 50g -- just enough protein to prevent your 85 year old grandma from succumbing to muscle wasting
Trust me dude your body literally can't get enough iodine. I don't even use caffeine anymore I just take a higher dose of iodine drops when I need to be focused.
I tried it. I actually ran an experiment on myself for the past 6 months (though initially unintentional).
Starting in February I followed the routine described in pic. Spoiler: chugging that concentrated amount of salt is fricking God awful. However, I noticed within an hour or two of ingestion, my heart rate would increase slightly and I would feel more alert. Concentration was easy, and I had great work performance and sleep. Cravings for junk food were reduced, but not totally gone -- though I was also cutting at the time, so maybe under maintenance I might not have experienced any cravings at all.
Fast forward a few months to May, and I had to be hospitalized for almost a week (entirely unrelated). In that time, guess which i wasn't ingesting.
So since I was 3 months out from the experiment start, and with an upcoming vacation where I didn't want to risk bringing a glass bottle that might leak deeply staining liquid onto my clothes, I guinea pigged the opposite. Concentration became progressively worse, was having more trouble sleeping, and when you can't have those items in place, your willpower also begins to go to shit.
Far from a perfect study as there were other factors at play (especially as my diminished willpower let my diet slip more often than I would care to admit). Plus, the years of exposure likely mean that 3 months is nowhere near a sufficient time to expunge the accumulation. But the initial results were quite telling. I'm back on the iodine horse in hopes that taking the crash might allow for a good rebound.
i got pilled on iodine before it became a meme here
a couple of years ago a ukranian told me they use it for everything
if someone gets a bruise they jsut paint it on the skin and they use it to clean cuts etc. because it 'speeds up healing'
stopped using fluoride toothpaste a long time ago and also ditched iodized salt at the same time.
if your diet is good you need not worry. if its not, supplementing iodine is definitely a good idea.
I'll try going back to iodized salt and see if theres a noticable difference.
my redpill to you guys is that muscle grow can be achieve by high rep low load exercise just as good. >t. 60cm thighs with just running and cycling
its important to note that, like another anon posted, to run on your forefeet. never heelstrike.
Bromide is just cheap iodine as far as food manufacturers are concerned. It's cheaper than iodine, prevents goitres, and the body has a higher tolerance to it than iodine. However, it doesn't achieve most of the important functions of iodine.

I've taken iodine for several years now (probably because of that post tbh). I can confirm it makes a substantial difference to your health and mood.
start with 2 drops/day dissolved in about 4floz of water. doesnt taste good so I immediately follow with another glass of water. you probably shouldnt do more than ~5 drops/day and it takes a while to get there. cheers
I believe fasting only makes you stronger if it is a practice in willpower.
if you are like the fatties on /fit crying that you wanna have a burger, it goes nowhere.

I will enlighten you with the three phases of equipment usage for lifters: >Babys first bulk

I fixed my high blood pressure with salt too. I wasn't eating any processed shit so my sodium intake was less than a gram while my potassium was sky high. Balanced it out and then no more issues.
That's the best salt I was able to find in the US, in terms of not having microplastics like in sea salt, and not having anti-caking agents in non-sea salt sources.
Anti-caking agents are found in 90% of the salt you can buy in stores. They disrupt the intestinal lining and contribute to inflammation.
Iodized salt is a meme. The amount of iodine they put in it is the bare minimum amount to not get goiter. You will still be very deficient. A glass of milk contains far more iodine than any amount of iodized salt you could realistically eat in a day even if you were to force yourself to chug it.
>AHOY THERE ! YE ARE BEING PLUNDERED BY THE SALTY SPAMMER OF THE SEVEN SEAS. A FOR'TUN IN WHITE GOLD WILL BE YOURN BUT ONLY IF YOU TYPE 'AVAST YE, SALTY SPAMMER!'
Personally, I think the most vital for aesthetics are upper-chest man cleavage definition, and round, even delts (with matching front and rear delts, not bench press/ohp only trogolodyte shoulders) with an open posture (neck/shoulders not curled forward). Abs are a bonus but secondary to the others.

No don't put psyllium in your shake, it will turn it into disgusting gel. I take psyllium husk every day but in a very specific method:
I put half a tablespoon in a short glass and blast the frick out of it with the coldest water possible from the sink, then chug it down as fast as possible before it has a chance to absorb much water. It has no strong taste but the texture is simply repulsive, it's disgusting. So I blast it with water and suck it down before it becomes gel like. It will become gel like in my stomach and then it's no problem. You'll have to experiment with the technique.

Why do people do this? Eat a vegetable sometime, you dumb Black person.
Fun fact, in ancient Rome salad was always consumed with salt. I'm pretty sure they knew a thing or two about fitness and health. At least more than that ~~*pharmacists*~~ do.
I was just reading a profile on Galen, the Roman physician. He only saw two cases of diabetes in his entire career serving the Roman elite, despite their diet having a very high sugar content for the time period. They were doing something that made a huge difference to their health, cos nowadays about 1/20 people have diabetes.
>He only saw two cases of diabetes in his entire career serving the Roman elite, despite their diet having a very high sugar content for the time period.
This is because fat causes diabetes, not sugar. Having a lot of sugar (or even a lot of carbs) alongside a lot of fat will greatly speed up the process (via the glucose fatty acid cycle) which is how so many people have been confused about the causative factor.
Unless you're eating a low fat diet then a high sugar intake will give you diabetes, but only because the sugar exacerbates the process by which certain fats cause diabetes. In the context of a low fat diet, sugar will never cause diabetes. The Romans in question had that sort of diet: lots of carbs, not a lot of fats.
i guarantee you they did

You need to eat way less than you think you do.
You can probably cut your portions in half and then in half again.
Hunger is fat leaving your body.
The average person doesn't have to worry about protein intake unless they're living off nothing but bread for a month.
Reverse hypers. These things are godly and I wish everyone had access to equipment to do them. Especially in this computer age that is decrepifying us, they are a miracle.
If you drink a glass of whole milk and eat eggs / diary every day you don't need lugols. The overwhelming majority of people drink low fat milk or no milk at all, and eat american ~~*cheese*~~, and rarely eat eggs because of ~~*high cholesterol*~~.
You don't need to be spending shit tons of money on fish and seaweed for natural iodine. A couple eggs and a glass of milk contain well over 100 micrograms of iodine.
The point is not the minimum necessary iodine. The point is using iodide to flush out build ups of fluoride and bromide that accumulates in the system. A drop of lugols is like 15x the RDA for iodine
If you're trying to flush out built up fluoride that's another thing altogether. Just be careful because some people have given themselves hyperthroidism with iodine before. It also increases DHT production which I found out the hard way a few years ago.
I can't argue with double dubs, but that's a pretty limited toolkit. If your only plan is "violent double leg and try to bounce their head off the concrete hard enough to debilitate but not hard enough to kill" you'll 100% mog any untrained person no questions asked, but you're a lot less capable than someone who's trained in a system that gives them more options.

The guy who fricking loves his hammer is in a great spot until he has to unscrew something. It's not about having an "exotic assortment of tools." It's about recognizing that there is no one size fits all solution, and setting yourself up for success means giving yourself options.
Also though wrestling makes you able to control their hands and head and keep them too close to hit you hard. And the training makes you too solid to be knocked out, worn out, or submitted. What tools do you need at that point? I've just put dudes on the ground, let them get up, and did it again until they fricked off.
I will say though that it is gravely important to learn to post up and prevent the guillotine choke. Pure wrestlers can be embarrassed with that one.
It's a good basis, but it's not everything. I started with wrestling in high school, and then picked up muay thai in college. You're right that wrestling gives you lots of control over their head and hands- if they let you get close enough (or can't stop you from closing the distance) to do so. There's no such thing as being "too solid to be knocked out" by a striker of equal skill to you if you aren't starting the fight attached to his hip. It's entirely reasonable to augment your abilities by practicing defending against punches and kicks, as well as landing a few of your own. This puts you in a position to be dominant even if you're in a situation where you need to do something a little more decisive than just putting an untrained fighter on the ground until he fricks off. I'm not trying to say that wrestling is bad- as your experience has shown, it is more than sufficient against people that don't know what they're doing. I'm just saying that it leaves wrestlers exposed in ways they need to address.

nobody argues that real wrestlers aren't absolute units most of the time. but it is heavily in the real of sport and not so much in the frick your opponent up asap like other disciplines.
krav maga is debatable, I think. legit in the Israeli army, a meme for women most of the time outside >be badass strong wuman that fear no man and pay me for the super self defense course (2x2 hours to defeat ANY man)
Kali should not be so low and definitely shouldn't be in the same tier as something like wing chun or any kind of karate.
Muay Thai and BJJ should both be below boxing but they in S-Tier. MMA (a striking art combined with a grappling one) should be in SS-Tier.
Also if you're going to lower Muay Thai's ranking because you'll 'likely be competing in a McDojo' then Karate and TKD belong at the lowest possible ranking due to the sheer over-saturation of bullshit gyms in the US.
ive always wanted to take a martial art or some form of self defense and this pic unironically just made me sign up for 5 boxing lessons

not sure why we're even having this debate as boxing and wrestling are the two S tier self defense sports widely available in the US
Wrestling should be up with boxing and BJJ should be shit tier. Assuming this is for street defence. You want to spark the guy out or slam him on the concrete and run. You don't want to be having a cuddle session on the floor and his 2 friends show up or he pulls a blade. One move, run.
this guy is gay btw, you can tell from the way he holds his face
funny as frick that he gets canceled for going around calling everything gay and is obviously gay
>no wife >no kids >no ex wife >no girlfriends
lmao totally not gay with his gay facial expressions that literally only gay men make
sure bro andrew tate isn't gay at all 😉 keep looking up to him
never seen with a woman, no kids despite being rich blah blah blah, this is just because he's such a success! because only successful men don't want a beautiful family
I've only seen a couple of this guy's vids but they were all pretty funny. Especially the one where he claims to have trained himself to lucid dream extremely well to the point where he is living another life while he is asleep. This is why he's so much smarter and better than all other humans, because he has literally lived twice the life and has twice the experience that anyone else has.
Also I like his podcast name EMERGENCY MEETING. Never listened to it before. Guy seems like a comedian. It's a joke that this guy and his clowning around managed to piss off the tech israelites so hard they unpersoned him. They really fear anyone that isn't a total fricking homosexual and do everything to suppress them.
it's a joke persona, like his video saying that making food is gay
the absolutely frightneing part is men are so massively incredibly hopelessly lost and misguided that young men will instantly flock to grifters like this guy or trump.

this unironically sounds amazing if you could pull this off
Joint health is underlooked by a huge margin.
Add glucosamine chodriotin and calcium to your supp stack if you struggle with popping joints, joint pain, or shaky lifts. Stretch and practice passive range of motion with all key joints (esp, legs and shoulders). You need focus on more than fat lost/muscle gained. Becase if your joints and tendons are having trouble keeping up with your lifts (ESP. IF YOU JUICE) you will enter snap city at some point. Also Protect future you against arthritis (the #1 reason i have found old people become inactive) and start fricking thinking about joint health.
Salt is known to enhance athletic performance because it increases blood pressure and blood supply to muscles. This is terrible for long term health though, so I wouldn't do it outside of competition.
A huge red pill for me was learning how much of chronic pain and repetitive strain injuries are psychosomatic. Cured not just back pain but carpal tunnel and saved me from a life of being crippled
I read it too and the answer is yes. Back pain isn't real and can't hurt you if you don't believe in it. No I will not take my meds because I don't need them anymore. If you think you slipped a disk or got a hernia or pinched a nerve or something this is a must read.
When I get stressed, I tend to want to do things faster than normal, which makes me unconsciously walk more on the front of my feet than on the back. Which then in turn does something else in my body and I can feel the hurt in my leg.
Wouldn’t it depend on your leverages though? Hex bar deadlift makes me feel like I’m doing a standing leg press. I don’t feel anything in my hamstrings or erectors
Although it might be the best we have, it's a dud and working aged people of even average health never required it. The mandates were wrong and people were unnecessarily fired over it, especially now that no one even expects you to get boosters even though they've explicitly said you needed them because "the vaccine wears off and needs a top up for the new strains"
It's irrational to even believe you could have gotten a vaccine right the first time let alone one that was relatively rushed and whipped up in such a short time.
Always do the opposite of what IST says
Stay alive.
so you're straight?
Don't ever eat salt?
I started drinking saltwater at work on account of the heat and all my lifts shot up. I thought I was programming right. Time to get salty again.
I started drinking lmnt which is like a salt drink mix, and I legitimately feel so much better. I didn't know about the muscle gainthing, but that'd explain why my shoulders have been growing. I'm pretty DYEL, and now my close-fit tshirts are tight fit edging towards uncomfortable in the shoulders, while my weights trending down.
The best part really is salt has completely killed the worst of my snack cravings.
Any good bran
Sometimes I wonder if I need more salt and whether I eat too much precisely because I don't eat enough and drink too much water. I'm scared of being wrong and getting too much salt though.
>be hot out
>chug a nice warm glass of saltwater
Specific routines don't matter until you have been training hard for over 5 years. 90% of the effectiveness is the amount of effort you put in as long as you work all muscle groups regularly.
>as long as you work all muscle groups regularly.
>Specific routines don't matter
I think he means the specific one you pick matters less than your actual consistency. PPL/upperlower/full body all work despite being very different routines
Anything from Mentzer is a fitness redpill.
He didn't say enough for four 50 minute videos.
>muscle mass is most easily adapted from acute stress
>it must be fully recovered from
That's all he had to say. He's right but his work isn't near finished because achieving momentary muscle failure is an art that 99.9% of lifters have never and will never perform. I've only been able to do it once with my triceps. I could not replicate it the next week. In fact volume accrual is arguably better at this point because in the time it takes you to get that good at lifting you could have just grinded the inferior method to completion.
Ah that was just something to listen to, the guy likes to babble.
>achieving momentary muscle failure is an art that 99.9% of lifters have never and will never perform
lol what? You've never done a lift to the point where you can't do another without sacrificing form or ROM
>You've never done a lift to the point where you can't do another without sacrificing form or ROM
That's exactly how I lift most of the time. Momentary muscle failure is when your muscle actually fails. It just kinda turns off for a second. Seconds later the feeling comes back and you can't even do a pushup for the next hour. It doesn't just happen because you tried hard. You have to be doing the perfect lift with the perfect weight and have some mechanism to force eccentrics as well be at the level to use such a weight and have ridiculous focus or pain tolerance.
>momentary
>can't even do a pushup for the next hour
anon, pls
I think you're still not understanding that when he says failure he means it literally. The muscle momentarily shuts down. It then turns right back on but it's too weak to really use for an hour. Then you get extreme doms for several days.
>only 0.01% of lifters can lift until their muscles give out
anon, pls.
You can lift until you fail to push another rep but it's not the same thing as continuing on to do only eccentrics until the muscle itself fails. You have not done this.
>t's not the same thing as continuing on to do only eccentrics until the muscle itself fails
If you can only do eccentrics, you have reached MMF.
Verification not required.
And yes, I have done that.
Nope. The muscle is still working even if you're just hold the weight static at the bottom. Making it fail is whole nother level that I apparently can't guide you into conceptualizing.
Certainly not. It's just the most efficient way to reach your limit. Doing it consistently without roids though would be indicative of serious potential and you'd probably surpass 25ffmi though.
>Autistic muscle failure
Mentzer never did this.
Isn't this basically what Dorian did? Train until you can't do another rep, then have your training partner give you a boost on the concentric (basically a dropset with progressively less and less weight) until you can't even do any more of those, then get your training partner to lift the weight up for you and do a couple of reps where you're just controlling the speed of the eccentric until you can't even slow the weight down anymore and your muscles are just jelly.
Yes. And with at least 2g of anabolic compounds a week. good luck on your journey.
I never said to train like that lol, I was just describing dorian's training philosophy and asking anon if mentzer's style was any different.
>2g of anabolic compounds
Try 4-5g of gear + growth + insulin. Also there's no reason why natties couldn't do one (1) set like that per session if they're only training 3x a week. Dorian claimed to only do like 3 sets per week per bodypart although I'm pretty sure that's bullshit.
There really is no reason a natty couldn't do this. He would only progress as far as the natty limit and it would take longer but these limitations don't exclusively apply to HIT. It's the case regardless of your method. The problem is that people who lift that fricking hard are almost always the same people who would roid up so it would appear to the midwit that only roiders can lift hard.
AFAIK Yates specifically used dropsets and supersets to achieve failure more than Mentzer, who would try to achieve failure with assisted reps added onto the set itself.
If you can find a way to become part of that 0.01% then you will get as big as Mentzer, NATTY.
homie that's just an injury
Im a fan of mentzer am skeptical of this training program because mentzer was on roids. I have no problem with roiders but idk about this for a natural. Someone who follows a mentzer regime post body.
They guy was a israelite who bummed his own brother. I mean, you Americans DO have low standards, but that is a bit much.
Mike Mentzer was not a israelite. He hated the fitness industry and was labelled a conspiracy theorist by the israelites.
Post nose.
>mentzer (Ashkenazim)
>Not a israelite
Pick one you /misc/let
Very redpilled to listen to a broke meth addict claiming he figured out the secret that let a "phone client" build 80lbs of muscle in 2 months (4 workouts). Of course, nobody has ever met this phone client or any of his clients. Mentzer met Yates once in his entire life.
I genuinely can't believe how articulate and coherent this guy is. You must be all be gays to talk your baseless shit.
>He's really articulate. Well spoken, just like obama. He's one of the good ones.
Obama wasn't articulate at all, idk why dumb homosexuals propagate this meme. I guess they're really that impressed a Black person can read a speech someone else wrote on a teleprompter.
Point was simply it's impossible to be that eloquent / coherent and anything but an authentic success.
Which recent US president was more articulate?
>moves the goal posts
This is exactly why Mentzer is impressive, there's no moronic bullshit like what comes out of your mouths, it's all clear and flowing logic, point A comes from B to C to D, etc... Meanwhile the average person like you is a rambling moron who can't express an argument but only feelings. It's hard to even think of you as a human when you're the logological equivalent of a stumbling chicken with its head cut off.
he's wrong about training frequency, muscles start to atrophy if muscle fibers aren't stimulated hours after using them, there is no mechanistic or biochemical explanation as to why muscles shouldn't atrophy after hours of no use in fact only the opposite exist.
he was wrong, just let it go ffs
he made all of his gains doing full body 3-6x a week, he did change his volume dramatically but the way he trained was still nowhere close to what heavy duty has you train, he never followed his own advice, just look at the routines he used when he was winning contests some of them are legit full body 3x a week routines, when he trained with arthur jones he was forced to do full body 3x a week, then he deloaded to doing an upper lower 2x a week each which is still way more work than heavy duty has you do.
he never trained in that ridiculous one set a week HIT method, it's bullshit, it's not enough to grow muscle unless you are a beginner muscle fibers literally start to fricking atrophy HOURS after last using them.
>moves the goalposts twice as far this time
ok you chimpanzee frick

Nice adductors bro, you’ve been hitting the girl machine?
Natty? Training age?
Natty, age 29. did push ups, pull ups, and baby weight curls, tricep extensions, db press, and body weight squats from 17-23. Did baby weight lifting in a “gym” that maxed out at 60lb DB and could load up an EZ curl bar to deadlift 200lb from 23-25. 25-29, I lift “seriously” for most of the year in a proper gym with barbells, but sometimes I take time off of goal setting and just maintain. I’ve never really gotten “strong” the way that /fit describes. I see people in the gym who have shit gains/aesthetics but can bench lmao2pl8. There’s plenty of guys who squat 3 and 4 pl8 and guys who deadlift 4 or 5 plate, but they are all big (4u) guys over 30. There’s very few “young men” doing big lower body strength lifts. But many men of all ages doing 2pl8 bench. Just not me lmao.
>autism the post
Manlet posting should be a bannable offence tbh
>t. jelly because he looks better than you
youll be ok anon we are all gonna make it, dont be so insecure
What the frick did you just fricking say about me, you little b***h? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my words. You think you can get away with saying shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fricker. As we speak I am contacting my network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fricking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your tongue. You didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fricking dead, kiddo
>bulking at 5’8
yes anon you are a fricking dwarf, you could throw around a couple 35lb dumbbells for an hour 4x a week and look like that. Congrats.
>that body
>those lifts
Lmao nope. This board is too easy to frick with.
>105 OHP
What? I don't work out at all but can OHP 60 lb dumbbells no problem (don't have access to a barbell)
5’8 here. Thanks for the inspiration.
That's a guaranteed larp but have fun. See how far pressing 105lb gets you.
Lmao I’m the same size as you and liftmog you and i look nowhere near that. Obv bait.
I guarantee you that I’m not larping or fricking with you. I’ve just never trained for strength longer than 3 months at a time, so I never progress in strength. If you weren’t room temp IQ or if you actually lifted and played sports, you would know that volume and diet play a much bigger role in hypertrophy and leanness than raw strength numbers.
Your numbers do matter though. Those shoulders and delts simply are not stuck at 105lbs for 5. Maybe you preexhausted them and then OHP'd after having already benched heavy and you're moronic enough to think the last set reflects your rep max.
You’re right, I could do more than 105 OHP, but it hurts my shoulders to progress past it. I can do 60lb on DB seated press for 8 reps
I know I'm right. Stop telling people you can big with baby weights. Whatever you did to get that thick had nothing to do with you wasting your time on less than bodyweight bench presses.
I can’t progress on BB due to shoulder mobility issues too. I do anywhere from 60lb-80lb DB presses 4x8-12 range, sometimes drop set that down to 50-60lb till failure. You can do babbyweights and gain mass, it’s just not as efficient
>benches 80lb db's for sets of 12
>tells people that they can look like him with a 160lb flat bench
moronic or just sabotaging?
Quite possibly just moronic. I thought DB bench didn’t directly translate to BB strength?
Ofcourse it does
Guess I’m moronic then, don’t mind me boyos
There is a correlation because they both use chest and triceps. Theres too many factors to make a direct translation but if you actually barbell benched amd got decent at it you'd be doing well over 250 for reps.
That's not baby weight. If somebody smaller than you progressed to a 160lb bench they wouldn't be able to dumbbell bench like this and would not be as big as you.
If I ever get 250lb bench, I will be beside myself with joy and gains. I’m going to enter a 7 month bulk between now and when the snow melts. Any recommendations for a good bench training program? I’ve been BB in my home gym and no shoulder issues yet doing 160lb
Also, I can’t do 80lb DB for 12. I said 60-80 4x8-12. 80, I can usually do 5-8 reps. 85lb for 5 at my absolute peak strength when I was bulked to 180lb
Cutting the head out of the picture makes manlets look bigger. Just imagine a big ass head on this dude and suddenly he looks small as frick and it makes sense. It's perspective play.
t. manlet
You’re not entirely wrong about perspective, but still crab in bucket. I have a tiny head, fortunately
TY based supporter. Manlet bros can make it, we’ve just gotta own it and be aesthetic with what we’ve got
Lmaooooo I accidentally posted the screenshot with my camera roll. Fail. Pls don’t doxx n bully
okay man, I take it back. You look good. However, you're black so you're muscular by default and your numbers still don't mean shit.
My numbers are weak sauce, I’m the first to admit it. I’m half black and half white. My dad was a bretty good endurance athlete in his day, could roll up and win at local 5k/10k races and we’ve got a few CFL athletes on my moms side of the family. So pretty athletic genes on both sides, but I got manletism from my 5’7 dad. My mom is 5’8 and every male on her side of the family is 6’0 minimum, including my brothers
Manlet bros getting GAINZ with weak strength number unite! Just eat well and lift regularly. You’ll get gains (hopefully)
>N
Goals. Well done sir.
Compounds are a meme, you should do SS for a few months and become a curlbro if you want to look good, or calisthenics if you want to be strong. Don't become a rippletoad
post body or big 4?
>or calisthenics if you want to be strong
lmfao
Machines will never compete with free weights or cables. When you use a barbell or a cable or bodyweight, you are in control, the lift puts you in the drivers seat.
This lets you use a real world pattern of movement and get strong and put on mass. If you use a machine, there is no bar path and you are putting so much stress on your joints by doing an unnatural movement with no real world function.
This man may have had a legit iodine deficiency tbh.
No I had a similar result plus my goiters went away
This. OP's pic inadvertently took the iodine pill and he attributes it to the salt. What he really did was put the iodine back in his diet that everyone takes out these days now that sea salt/Pink Himalayan out of grinders is all the rage.
Take the Lugol's pill anons.

>In summary, we show that a high salt diet significantly delays tumor growth in two independent murine tumor transplantation models. This effect seems to be mediated through enhanced anti-tumor immunity by a functional inactivation of MDSCs. Since high salt conditions also affected human MDSCs in a similar manner, our data suggest that the targeting of this mechanism could potentially be a novel beneficial strategy to block MDSC function in settings of cancer immunotherapy.
>https://suppversity.blogspot.com/2014/10/low-sodium-intake-for-athletes-good-for.html
>the low chloride intake that comes hand in hand with a reduction in dietary salt intake has been associated with +21% increased mortality risk.
The borderline (i.e. minimally acceptable) levels of sodium intake for keeping calcium and magnesium level are much higher than the FDA published RDA. Basically, you need at least 63mg/kg of body weight daily sodium intake to prevent the chronic loss of calcium and magnesium. Also, anything below that intake will increase (not decrease) water retention.
For those looking or specific recommendations, since salt is about 40% sodium, you need 10g-15g of salt daily to meet the requirements of these studies. If you use sodium bicarbonate, it is about 27% sodium so that equates to 20g-22g daily intake of baking soda to meet the requirements. Interestingly enough, ingesting 20g-22g of sodium bicarbonate a day is what is typically used in studies showing ergogenic (performance) benefit for athletes.
>I should be putting a teaspoon of salt in my morning coffee
Huh. Thanks for the links anon.
A high (by RDA standards) salt intake is one of those things that is undeniably beneficial if you actually do your research and use your common sense. If you look at most official dietary recommendations and just do the opposite of what they say, you will end up with an extremely healthy diet:
>eat lots of whole grains
>avoid saturated fats, eat lots of vegetable fats
>dont eat meat, especially red meat
>dont eat eggs, have a low dietary cholesterol intake
>eat very little sugar, fructose is the worst sugar
>eat very little salt
Do the opposite and you have a diet with no grains or seeds, high amounts of fructose from fruit, high amounts of salt, meat, and eggs. Not surprisingly, this is pretty close to the ideal diet.
Agree except eggs should be like 2-3 per day maximum and ideally raw, and red meat shouldn't be overindulged in due to inflammation, high iron levels and tryptophan. Most of your protein should ideally be from gelatin
Those homosexuals recommend this shit to every children on the world.
interesting thread
>For those looking or specific recommendations, since salt is about 40% sodium, you need 10g-15g of salt daily
How the FRICK is anyone supposed to do that. I already put a little over 1 teaspoon of salt in my daily pound of ground beef, and another half teaspoon of salt and half teaspoon of potassium chloride in my water bottle. If I put any more it becomes too salty and my body refuses to eat or drink more. That, combined with natural sources of salt largely in my cheeses and milk come to only 4g of sodium a day.
>pound of ground beef a day

I don't lift. I just like browsing fit from time to time for the redpills and fasting threads. I only eat meat and dairy for purely health reasons, not to gain muscle. I can't take a picture anyways because I own a sunbeam dandelion.

Yeah guys just buy this supplement and you'll gay 15lbs of muscle without working out (why are you on IST?)
I legit just ordered some based off this thread lmao. I’ve been happy with the boron anons shilled a few weeks ago. I think there is legitimately something to micro-nutrient supplementation. Is there a multi that covers all the micros?
I'll shill for Now Adam. I only take 1 softgel a day as I get most of my micros from food and don't want to OD on vitamin A (50g beef liver 4x/week), but has some solid forms of vitamins (e.g. k2 as opposed to cheaper k1) and a few other micros that might get ignored by other multi brands

if you don't want to squat or bench, you can get a bare bones budget home gym with a hex bar and a pull-up/dip station.
Sounds gay and moronic
I find it highly suspect that everyone has just been training wrong forever, but the underlying premise is sound - people absolutely can get into good shape with bodyweight. Not competition powerlifter shape, but certainly mog the dyels all the same.
The guidance in that pic will leave the low back, glutes, and hamstrings untrained. It's fine for aesthetics but I sure as hell wouldn't call that guy to help me bale hay or move furniture.
Glutes and hams you get from running
Add in some squats variations with volume and more core based movements
>Implying powerlifter shape is good shape
doing chin ups, pushups, and running sounds boring as shit. with my power lifting program every day is different and i get to try new lifts and lift new weights. hit PRs. high five the boys. listen to heavy metal. that dude turns gyming into autism which is cringe.
Everyone already knows footstrike running is better than the other forms. Anyone still heel/mid striking is moronic and deserves the injury they'll inevitably get.
Your trolling, right?
Totally agree with this. Chin ups fricking work, now my #1.
Post back and biceps
Chin ups don't work for me amd my fricked shoulder. Replaced them with power cleans, heavy and focused, not for spazz crossfit reps.
at least throw in some side planks or something

This is the most important image posted ITT and it isn't schizo shit, but most of IST will ignore it.
Once I switched from weights to pull-ups, push-ups, running, Russian twists, sit-ups, burpees, and explosive bodyweight jump squats I felt much more athletic and strong than I ever did with weights. Moving heavy numbers is cool but feeling actually fit is so much better. I enjoy the workouts more too
You can get jacked just from flexing a bunch. The weights are just there to trick you into flexing.

I pushed through literally every sickle shit matter thinking I was almost there. Little did I know I needed a break, unfortunately it costed me 3-5 months of cut progress, and I think starting this cut again I have to reduce training volume. I literally took a 6 hour nap after the gym I was so exhausted, this was after binging on carbs. I don't know whats going on, I can't stop eating (i dont get full) and I literally feel unable to move some days (energy wise). Thank god I'm getting less hours at work (part time cause college) and college is online so it's easy.
Frick bros, take a break if you think you need it. Frick this....
You could be pre-diabetic, are you thirsty a lot of the time too?
Yeah but I always am
Went through this during college. Turned out I had a thyroid problem. Medication is worth it tbh senpai.
Thyroid problem as in? (I don't exactly know how the thyroid works, but I am aware of what it's "supposed" to do) Like I said I've gained weight, but no matter how many binge restricts I do I can't seem to surpass 250 (which without water weight is like 230) this is like binging 2 days in a row, 1k cals for 3, repeat. But I'm starting a real cut now. Also for the energy yeah I'm pretty lethargic most of the time and kind of have to consciously move. It feels good driving because I'm kind of just physically afk but awake you know
>iodized salt
Skip this. Purchase some sea salt and some iodine drops.
The dude is right, but its not strictly the salt that's of concern. Salt is important, however the big notion is the iodine itself. Iodine is one of those extremely low dose micronutrients that has been gradually disappearing from the human diet over the past several centuries.
The only people who shouldn't supplement iodine are those who eat wild caught fish almost daily, and those who have pre-existing thyroid problems requiring medication.
Yeah but don't they fortify a lot of foods with iodine now because of all that gout midwesterners were getting around WW1?
They fortify the food with just enough iodine to keep the average person functionally alive. That doesn't make anything optimal. Just like how the US RDA for protein is 50g -- just enough protein to prevent your 85 year old grandma from succumbing to muscle wasting
Trust me dude your body literally can't get enough iodine. I don't even use caffeine anymore I just take a higher dose of iodine drops when I need to be focused.
http://exo-science.com/halogens.html
anyone tried that stuff out? do we need to take the iodine pill?
I tried it. I actually ran an experiment on myself for the past 6 months (though initially unintentional).
Starting in February I followed the routine described in pic. Spoiler: chugging that concentrated amount of salt is fricking God awful. However, I noticed within an hour or two of ingestion, my heart rate would increase slightly and I would feel more alert. Concentration was easy, and I had great work performance and sleep. Cravings for junk food were reduced, but not totally gone -- though I was also cutting at the time, so maybe under maintenance I might not have experienced any cravings at all.
Fast forward a few months to May, and I had to be hospitalized for almost a week (entirely unrelated). In that time, guess which i wasn't ingesting.
So since I was 3 months out from the experiment start, and with an upcoming vacation where I didn't want to risk bringing a glass bottle that might leak deeply staining liquid onto my clothes, I guinea pigged the opposite. Concentration became progressively worse, was having more trouble sleeping, and when you can't have those items in place, your willpower also begins to go to shit.
Far from a perfect study as there were other factors at play (especially as my diminished willpower let my diet slip more often than I would care to admit). Plus, the years of exposure likely mean that 3 months is nowhere near a sufficient time to expunge the accumulation. But the initial results were quite telling. I'm back on the iodine horse in hopes that taking the crash might allow for a good rebound.
thanks fren
any info on using powdered kelp instead of the drops?

i got pilled on iodine before it became a meme here

You homosexuals eat sea/mountain salt? The forest salt is where it's at
stopped using fluoride toothpaste a long time ago and also ditched iodized salt at the same time.
if your diet is good you need not worry. if its not, supplementing iodine is definitely a good idea.
I'll try going back to iodized salt and see if theres a noticable difference.
my redpill to you guys is that muscle grow can be achieve by high rep low load exercise just as good.
>t. 60cm thighs with just running and cycling
its important to note that, like another anon posted, to run on your forefeet. never heelstrike.
Redpill me on the bromide bit, fellas? He kind of skips over it.
Bromide is just cheap iodine as far as food manufacturers are concerned. It's cheaper than iodine, prevents goitres, and the body has a higher tolerance to it than iodine. However, it doesn't achieve most of the important functions of iodine.
I've taken iodine for several years now (probably because of that post tbh). I can confirm it makes a substantial difference to your health and mood.
What's a good iodine regimen? How many drops of what concentration lugols? How often?
start with 2 drops/day dissolved in about 4floz of water. doesnt taste good so I immediately follow with another glass of water. you probably shouldnt do more than ~5 drops/day and it takes a while to get there. cheers
likewise, cheers

Exogenous testosterone supplementation causes baldness
I can almost believe this but I don't think fasting makes you stronger. I'm willing to try it though.
I believe fasting only makes you stronger if it is a practice in willpower.
if you are like the fatties on /fit crying that you wanna have a burger, it goes nowhere.
same it s true with pretty much anything. your mindset will forge your flesh.
When you fast you actually get a huge spike in growth hormone. If you work out during fasting you won't lose muscle either.
it's more muscle sparing than other forms of weight loss and makes you produce HGH That said, it's most valuable for fatties and much harder to do at low bf %

I fixed my high blood pressure with salt too. I wasn't eating any processed shit so my sodium intake was less than a gram while my potassium was sky high. Balanced it out and then no more issues.
What is your opinion on pic related?
If you like the taste, then its fine, salt is salt. The lack of Iodide is gonna getcha though.
Yet another utah grift
That's the best salt I was able to find in the US, in terms of not having microplastics like in sea salt, and not having anti-caking agents in non-sea salt sources.
Anti-caking agents are found in 90% of the salt you can buy in stores. They disrupt the intestinal lining and contribute to inflammation.
Iodized salt is a meme. The amount of iodine they put in it is the bare minimum amount to not get goiter. You will still be very deficient. A glass of milk contains far more iodine than any amount of iodized salt you could realistically eat in a day even if you were to force yourself to chug it.

I reject this, I need muh lats I love training lats
Peak aesthetics for twink bottoms maybe
gay slang isn't relevant for straight people tbh
Stop posting this you idiot. This has been refuted every time
Personally, I think the most vital for aesthetics are upper-chest man cleavage definition, and round, even delts (with matching front and rear delts, not bench press/ohp only trogolodyte shoulders) with an open posture (neck/shoulders not curled forward). Abs are a bonus but secondary to the others.

Crackers are ok. Just ok. They aren’t good. They aren’t terrible either. Pretty easy to gain weight eating them if you’re a mindless eater though.

#1wiperZ
How do you consume it?
Just blend it in with your shake?
No don't put psyllium in your shake, it will turn it into disgusting gel. I take psyllium husk every day but in a very specific method:
I put half a tablespoon in a short glass and blast the frick out of it with the coldest water possible from the sink, then chug it down as fast as possible before it has a chance to absorb much water. It has no strong taste but the texture is simply repulsive, it's disgusting. So I blast it with water and suck it down before it becomes gel like. It will become gel like in my stomach and then it's no problem. You'll have to experiment with the technique. I do at least 2 servings that way for a total of at least one tablespoon every night before bed.

Fun fact, in ancient Rome salad was always consumed with salt. I'm pretty sure they knew a thing or two about fitness and health. At least more than that ~~*pharmacists*~~ do.
My godmother always puts salt on salad, too.
Raw veggies got salt, otherwise salt goes in with the oil and vinegar.
I was just reading a profile on Galen, the Roman physician. He only saw two cases of diabetes in his entire career serving the Roman elite, despite their diet having a very high sugar content for the time period. They were doing something that made a huge difference to their health, cos nowadays about 1/20 people have diabetes.
>He only saw two cases of diabetes in his entire career serving the Roman elite, despite their diet having a very high sugar content for the time period.
This is because fat causes diabetes, not sugar. Having a lot of sugar (or even a lot of carbs) alongside a lot of fat will greatly speed up the process (via the glucose fatty acid cycle) which is how so many people have been confused about the causative factor.
Unless you're eating a low fat diet then a high sugar intake will give you diabetes, but only because the sugar exacerbates the process by which certain fats cause diabetes. In the context of a low fat diet, sugar will never cause diabetes. The Romans in question had that sort of diet: lots of carbs, not a lot of fats.

Reverse hypers. These things are godly and I wish everyone had access to equipment to do them. Especially in this computer age that is decrepifying us, they are a miracle.
for all you guys who get such great effects from lugols, how much do you take per day? I've never really felt a difference, I take 2 drops daily.
you were never iodine deficient
interesting, i looked terrible before i started lifting but my mind has always been a powerhouse
do you eat a lot of fish, east-asian food or perhaps live in a very fertile region for crops
If you drink a glass of whole milk and eat eggs / diary every day you don't need lugols. The overwhelming majority of people drink low fat milk or no milk at all, and eat american ~~*cheese*~~, and rarely eat eggs because of ~~*high cholesterol*~~.
You don't need to be spending shit tons of money on fish and seaweed for natural iodine. A couple eggs and a glass of milk contain well over 100 micrograms of iodine.
The point is not the minimum necessary iodine. The point is using iodide to flush out build ups of fluoride and bromide that accumulates in the system. A drop of lugols is like 15x the RDA for iodine
If you're trying to flush out built up fluoride that's another thing altogether. Just be careful because some people have given themselves hyperthroidism with iodine before. It also increases DHT production which I found out the hard way a few years ago.
So this iodine shit is going to make me go bald? Or this just some israelite trying to get us all to not idodinemaxx???
Every single time someone says DHT it's israelite or one of their golems. Except for this time, I swear.
I drink probably 20 oz of whole milk and eat 2 eggs every day, i will keep taking it until it runs out i guess

Wrestling is right up there with boxing and krav maga can frick off back to hollywood.
>Wrestling is right up there with boxing
Okay, you've gotten them onto their back. Now what?
Now I hope to God they're not dead from the impact.
I can't argue with double dubs, but that's a pretty limited toolkit. If your only plan is "violent double leg and try to bounce their head off the concrete hard enough to debilitate but not hard enough to kill" you'll 100% mog any untrained person no questions asked, but you're a lot less capable than someone who's trained in a system that gives them more options.
I'm not worried about the guy with an exotic assortment of tools. I'm worried about the one who fricking loves his hammer.
The guy who fricking loves his hammer is in a great spot until he has to unscrew something. It's not about having an "exotic assortment of tools." It's about recognizing that there is no one size fits all solution, and setting yourself up for success means giving yourself options.
It's a good basis, but it's not everything. I started with wrestling in high school, and then picked up muay thai in college. You're right that wrestling gives you lots of control over their head and hands- if they let you get close enough (or can't stop you from closing the distance) to do so. There's no such thing as being "too solid to be knocked out" by a striker of equal skill to you if you aren't starting the fight attached to his hip. It's entirely reasonable to augment your abilities by practicing defending against punches and kicks, as well as landing a few of your own. This puts you in a position to be dominant even if you're in a situation where you need to do something a little more decisive than just putting an untrained fighter on the ground until he fricks off. I'm not trying to say that wrestling is bad- as your experience has shown, it is more than sufficient against people that don't know what they're doing. I'm just saying that it leaves wrestlers exposed in ways they need to address.
Also though wrestling makes you able to control their hands and head and keep them too close to hit you hard. And the training makes you too solid to be knocked out, worn out, or submitted. What tools do you need at that point? I've just put dudes on the ground, let them get up, and did it again until they fricked off.
I will say though that it is gravely important to learn to post up and prevent the guillotine choke. Pure wrestlers can be embarrassed with that one.
nobody argues that real wrestlers aren't absolute units most of the time. but it is heavily in the real of sport and not so much in the frick your opponent up asap like other disciplines.
krav maga is debatable, I think. legit in the Israeli army, a meme for women most of the time outside
>be badass strong wuman that fear no man and pay me for the super self defense course (2x2 hours to defeat ANY man)
Kali should not be so low and definitely shouldn't be in the same tier as something like wing chun or any kind of karate.
Muay Thai and BJJ should both be below boxing but they in S-Tier. MMA (a striking art combined with a grappling one) should be in SS-Tier.
Also if you're going to lower Muay Thai's ranking because you'll 'likely be competing in a McDojo' then Karate and TKD belong at the lowest possible ranking due to the sheer over-saturation of bullshit gyms in the US.

I've only seen a couple of this guy's vids but they were all pretty funny. Especially the one where he claims to have trained himself to lucid dream extremely well to the point where he is living another life while he is asleep. This is why he's so much smarter and better than all other humans, because he has literally lived twice the life and has twice the experience that anyone else has.
Also I like his podcast name EMERGENCY MEETING. Never listened to it before. Guy seems like a comedian. It's a joke that this guy and his clowning around managed to piss off the tech israelites so hard they unpersoned him. They really fear anyone that isn't a total fricking homosexual and do everything to suppress them.
it's a joke persona, like his video saying that making food is gay
the absolutely frightneing part is men are so massively incredibly hopelessly lost and misguided that young men will instantly flock to grifters like this guy or trump.

Joint health is underlooked by a huge margin.
Add glucosamine chodriotin and calcium to your supp stack if you struggle with popping joints, joint pain, or shaky lifts. Stretch and practice passive range of motion with all key joints (esp, legs and shoulders). You need focus on more than fat lost/muscle gained. Becase if your joints and tendons are having trouble keeping up with your lifts (ESP. IF YOU JUICE) you will enter snap city at some point. Also Protect future you against arthritis (the #1 reason i have found old people become inactive) and start fricking thinking about joint health.

Salt is known to enhance athletic performance because it increases blood pressure and blood supply to muscles. This is terrible for long term health though, so I wouldn't do it outside of competition.

>chronic pain and repetitive strain injuries are psychosomatic
did you "lmao don't think about it" yourself out of chronic pain?
I read it too and the answer is yes. Back pain isn't real and can't hurt you if you don't believe in it. No I will not take my meds because I don't need them anymore. If you think you slipped a disk or got a hernia or pinched a nerve or something this is a must read.
Unironically yes. Would have cured myself 2 years earlier had I not dismissed it for sounding too good to be true
It's true though.
When I get stressed, I tend to want to do things faster than normal, which makes me unconsciously walk more on the front of my feet than on the back. Which then in turn does something else in my body and I can feel the hurt in my leg.

The vaccine program was a failure
Although it might be the best we have, it's a dud and working aged people of even average health never required it. The mandates were wrong and people were unnecessarily fired over it, especially now that no one even expects you to get boosters even though they've explicitly said you needed them because "the vaccine wears off and needs a top up for the new strains"
It's irrational to even believe you could have gotten a vaccine right the first time let alone one that was relatively rushed and whipped up in such a short time.
