edit:

for my breakfast after the fasted workout,

I chose super high testosterone boosting foods such

as onions, garlic, almonds, figs, eggs, steak, etc…

I also made a bomb ass oatmeal with cinnamon

and various fruits including mangos, strawberries, etc.

so that the combination of glucose(complex carb)

and fructose (fruits in oatmeal) and lean meat (steak cooked almost raw)

just made my insulin response that much better.

Just do it.. whatever the physical training, it adds up

nah. when you get more experienced, you'll realize that there is an optimal mode where you're taking in the right nutrients, and expending calories that will affect your hormones.

update: i feel way better after a week of doing the HIIT sprints. the first day was only 4 x 30 sprint, 30 rest, then 3rd day was 4 x 30 sprint, 90 rest, and I will go up and up till I can do 8 x 30/90

the difference is I feel WAY more energy and just better overall. I feel the results will come with time

>>148109

i would recommend that too.

keeping ur protein super high will keep ur muscles big in theory.

IF will just keep ur manly levels high but if you can manage to do some kind of HIIT around the time of ur meal that doesnt use ur arm, you're golden

>you gotta eat fat to burn fat VS fat burns in the fire that is being fueled by carbs

I tried many things over the years. You gotta see what works best for you. Keto is ok if you're very fat. I do classic clean dieting these days by which I mean high "good" carbs/moderate protein/low fat. Protein is overrated in general.

>>148134

how are potatoes lacking nutrients? what's wrong with a B vitamin supp in addition to white rice? nothing Why doesn't organic rice and potatoes exist in Australia? What's wrong with fruit as a carb source? nothing What's wrong with sugar? nothing Anti-sugar people are basically religious zealots. There is nothing wrong with simple sugar sources of carbohydrates. Sugar is not fattening. Body fat contains dietary fat. The foundation of ketogenic dietary advice is broscience and pseudoscience. Not even wild carnivores do keto. They get fresh glucose from blood and glycogen from fresh meat.

>>148105

You are mistaken. If the heart rate is high at rest for reasons that don't have to do with stress and adrenaline, then the level of energy is high and the organism is lively. A slow heart rate is reptilian. There is a reason mammals are warmer and have faster hearts.

>>148106

Could you show me a source on that? Everything I can find basically says this:

“A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. Generally, a lower heart rate at rest implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness. For example, a well-trained athlete might have a normal resting heart rate closer to 40 beats per minute.”

>The drug industry has been lowering the numbers for cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood glucose that are considered to be the upper limit of normal, increasing the number of customers for their prescription drugs. Recently, publications have been claiming that the upper limit of the normal range of heart rates should be lower than 100 beats per minute; this would encourage doctors to prescribe more drugs to slow hearts, but the way the evidence is being presented, invoking the discredited "wear and tear" theory of aging, could have many unexpected harmful consequences. It would reinforce existing misconceptions about heart functions.

>A basic property of the heart muscle is that when it beats more frequently, it beats more strongly. This is called the staircase effect, from the way a tracing of its motion rises, beat by beat, as the rate of stimulation is increased. This is a logical way to behave, but sometimes it fails to occur: In shock, and in heart failure, the pulse rate increases, without increasing the volume of blood pumped in each contraction.

> Szent-Gyorgyi found that estrogen treatment decreased the staircase effect, while progesterone treatment increased the staircase. He described the staircase as a situation in which function (the rate of contraction) builds structure (the size of the contraction). Progesterone allowed "structure" to be built by the contraction, and estrogen prevented that.

(It's interesting to compare these effects of the hormones to the more general idea of anabolic and catabolic hormones, in which more permanent structures in cells are affected.)

> The rapid and extensive alternation of contraction and relaxation made possible by progesterone is also produced by testosterone (Tsang, et al., 2009). Things that increase the force of contraction are called inotropic, and the things that promote relaxation are called lusitPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Unless I misread admittedly, I skimmed a bit, it looks like that is talking about normal and active heart rates which should be anywhere from 100-200 depending on how active you are being. A resting heart rate where you aren't doing anything should be lower for efficiency. A normal heart rate and a resting one are different.

>>148129

There is no need for "efficiency". Food and resources are not scarce, so a conservative metabolism is deliberately handicapping yourself to hold out for better times that will never come because now is the time to live—not later. A slow heart means everything is slow, including muscle repair and healing in general. The heart rate increases with vigor and vitality. Endurance runners arrogantly assume their heart rates have slowed down because they have improved themselves. In reality they have incurred metabolic injury by running their bodies into the ground.

>>148087

then you have been brainwashed by (((them))).

>>148087

then you're a cuck

unless you have a serious inheritable genetic issue, like being black, in which case you shouldn't have kids

>>148104

Ever since I was 14, I didn’t want kids. Don’t even go there. And why do you care?

>>148112

>you’re a cuck

Good job using words that you don’t understand. And talk about being edgy with the black comment.

>>148013

How insecure are you to ask other people about yourself.

>>147880

Almost the same.

5-6 times a week and sick 1-2 times a year.

I haven't had a need to take a sick leave for somewhere around 3 years now, and I train from 5, up to 8 times a week.

u have to take cold showers and know how to eat. you will never get sick

never exercise, was sick for the last 6weeks

not a fatcunt either

>>148035

>>148068

yea you could do the snake diet. the truth is

its painful to not eat because ur addicted to sugar

probably..

you could also download an app, set a date about a year or two in the

future, and reduce your daily or weekly calories

so that you reach that deadline.

just a thought

>>147933

Latvian thot and or manager of said thot, 99% of people here are not female and will not give you views on your shitty female exercises take that trash to >>>/girltalk/ or lolcow.farm or crystal cuckfe if you want to risk being accused of fat shaming.

>>147854

Nice. Very subtle roll

Roll

THIS MACHINE KILLS COMMIES

>>144883

I ain't saying that shit without knowing what it means. Google Translate's "will weed a lot motherfucker" doesn't make any sense.

>>148024

It means you'll use a tool called a hoe to prepare or to clean a piece of land generally used for construction.

I also forgot. Is it safe to use that eyedrop stuff?

>>147955

honestly they are terrible if you eat them like that.

if you add them during the cooling down of spaghetti with organic meat sauce

it tastes extremely good, and allows you to eat them in large amounts.

>>147923

you posted on 4/fit/ too right? good on you for also posting here. It's really a better board but it's too desolate.

although like some people mentioned it could be just due to natural swings in hormones.

>>147985

>It's really a better board but it's too desolate.

Quality > quantity. Though quantity is a quality of its own so why follow a false dichotomy and limit to one? Sometimes it's better to spread the message to the widest audience possible.

>>147989

Not that the 4chan trannies would be interested in T boosting.

>>147985

I did.

I agree that its slow.

But at least 8chan/fit actually has fitness in its ingredient list rather than 4chan/fit "may contain fitness"

>>147622

Kettlebell swings are the ultimate kettlebell exercise. 25 lbs is a bit light to start with unless you're really weak, but it'll do. You can also do kettlebell snatches and kettlebell clean and presses. You can get Pavel's entire "Enter the Kettlebell" video on YouTube. It's pretty good at covering the basics of kettlebell safety and the basic lifts I mentioned. I think it also covers Turkish getups.

>>147632

Gotcha, I’ll check him out and look up the proper way to do those exercises, and I’m pretty darn weak at the moment, but hopefully I won’t be this weak for long.

I appreciate the help!

>>147542

I know. I checked again today and the board isn't up for claiming, meaning that the BO has logged in in the last two weeks. but it seems like they haven't been here in longer than that anyway which really stinks. Why would he log in if he doesn't want anything to do with the board anymore?

>>147587

a couple pounds either way could just be water weight, too. I wouldn't worry about it, what matters is how you feel physically.

This sounds really scary. Is there hope of recovery for these people?

>How many cups of lentils will it take to get around 200g of protein?

~11.1 cups of prepared lentils.

Each cup being 198 grams, which is the customary US size for 1 cup.

This is the same as ~2.197 kg of prepared lentils, or 4.85 lb.

In comparison, you have to eat 714g of beef to reach 200g of protein.

>>147899

As opposed to snorting it up your dickhole?

Just eat loads of eggs, cottage cheese and/or quark.

And of course eat fatty meats and organs.

>>147897

>soy

Never

>>147886

they're okay and convenient, but they're more expensive than protein powder that you mix yourself. I personally use Gold Standard whey powder, but only because my roommate left a huge bag of it with me, and I don't want it to go to waste.

I think you should eat real food, not protein shakes. Once my powder runs out I won't be getting any more. It is nice to be able to mix and carry, but as far as nutrition goes I'd rather just get a real meal in after the gym.

>>147886

these are terrible and unnatural.

not to mention it doesnt make you want to veer from

sugary foods cuz it tastes like a dessert.

dont drink them.

often times they will have soy as well which obviously is bad for men and

decreases testosteron.

Yeah, you can't simply start doing heavy 5 times a week. Just take a rest for the first few months. You're not a soldier. Don't break your body before it can take the toll

>>147888

some people recommend as low as 5sets 5 reps, only twice weekly. you dont want to get too worked too early on in your training.

you can also do 3 workout days, 4 rest days, and change your muscle group every other day

>>147888

>how can I recover asap?

Protein, sleep, nutrition, avoid abundance of stress hormones.

Three full body workouts for a total beginner are recommended, because they can't get a very hard workout yet.

After that beginner phase it's common to increase the rest days to three after training a muscle group.

Good on you making experiences with how much rest you need, which is obviously more than you have been taking. Just going with an existing workout plan which fits your goals may be advisable though.
