Says also the medical experiment that abstracts their reality through a virtual one called everquest. And forum quest.

Don't feel bad though. Off loading my observing machine mind to a simpler series of several inputs is a great terror management process for me too.

Thanks fellow medical experiment! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Is that a blackhead origin? Cool info too.

Gross. Are there other microorganisms that dissolve these? I have not gotten black heads in forever. Lot of acid baths and exfoliation though.

maybe give intermittent fasting a go while in keto. minimizing insulin should lower your metabolic target weight and if you are in keto, then you shouldn't see significant losses to lean body mass. You are potentially missing out on some of the anabolic effects of insulin, but you still realize them around your meal(s), which should occur following lifts anyway. Also, intermittent fasting stimulates autophagy, which offers the added bonus of cleaning up unnecessary/harmful tissues like plaques. Google all this stuff, could be complete bullshit, but all seems plausible.

I do this already, but thanks for the info! For whatever reason, I gain super slow while in ketosis. I added some carbs back to my diet the past 6 months, and, before going nuts on pecan pie and Mac n cheese post thanksgiving, I wasn’t really putting on fat but was bulking up BIGLY. I’m just worried about losing the sick GAINZ made across my pectoral girdle. Also, WTB biceps. I can bench 325 now but I can’t curl shit

6.17 miles in 72 minutes with a 1 mile cool down. Avg pace trail running back woods 11.60min/mile.

Trail was really tight and interesting through bush. Lots and lots of boar.

Also a lot of easy squats and lunges during cool down. Really really nice core strength developing.

(100 cal / mil * 30 * 12) / 3500 = about -10 lbs a year per mile you average every day.

4 miles daily = 400 cal and about 60-75 walking mins per day.

= ~145,000 = -41 lbs without touching diet.

I wanna do this. When I was doing 5 per day I did injure myself.. hmm. 2 & -200

dieting is the best way to lose weight though, because if you aren't modifying what you eat and getting into those habits, hopefully permanently, you will just put the weight back on. You're much more likely to consistently eat a healthy diet as opposed to continuing a certain exercise schedule (at least that's my opinion)

PS: Tried a full body workout today. Did some random ass stuff. I did 7 sets of decline. 135 10x, 185 10x, 205 10x, 225 8x, 245 6x, 265 3x, 285 1x

Coming for your bra size mead

This is pretty much the advice I give to everyone. You have to make it a lifestyle, otherwise the weight is just going to come right back.

Keep up the good work old man. You should invest in a dip belt if you don't have one already. That will really help bring some shape to the pecs and strength to your bench workouts.

Ya, I agree. Abs are made in the kitchen and all that. I’m not good at dieting tho. Moderate diet / moderate exercise is my plan. Too few carbs and I get mean.

[Irulan]

Agree patriam and mead. Learn to eartright and adjust that around the results, desired activity level.

I burned 6kcal / day at one point in my life and I just ate more, most of it unnecessary junk food.

I suck at dips. I almost feel them entirely on my chest and relatively little on my triceps. But you’re right. Any brand you suggest?
