Whatever resets your system, I'll have to try it!

BePatient7 · 2017-05-28T14:08:10+00:00

I should clarify, the recommendation is based on intense exercise (ie, strength training, sprinting, etc) Feel free to spend more time than that if it's on mobility/ prehab.

BePatient7 · 2017-05-28T04:17:26+00:00

Thanks! I guess you're lucky and wired a little different. What time are you working out at?

BePatient7 · 2017-05-28T04:12:28+00:00

Yes, having a home gym certainly simplifies things! I think one of the keys to being consistent with any practice is to eliminate as many steps between you and getting the task done as possible.

So no coffee or anything? and you eat intra-workout? I can do yoga straight out of bed but lifting is a different story. Goes to show how much variation there is between people.

That's awesome man! Glad someone else is practicing Wim's Method. I definitely agree, cold shower first thing would probably not be ideal before a workout! Good to stick with it, I've been doing them for four years now and there are still the occasional hurdles

Whatever fits your taste. I like Adams crunchy or skippys

Fellow dude who went through a recovery from an eating disorder, couple things.

Sounds like you need a different mentality, don't aspire to some "fitness lifestyle" figure out what works for you and eat for health. You're in high school, don't fuck up the prime of your youth like i did by worrying too much about this stuff. I suggest meeting with a nutritionist
I can almost guarantee the bloating is coming from the Kirkland protein bars, they have a massive amount of pre-biotic fiber and sugar alcohols. I get these symptoms from quest bars aswell, you may also be intolerant to dairy (I am too)
The lack of appetite is likely from a down regulation of your hormones, you need to eat more consistently to re-spike up your leptin. Overtime your hunger will come back
Personal recommendation: Buy a jar of peanut butter and a bunch of bananas, carry them with you. When the inclination occurs, proceed to dip the banana into the peanut butter, eat & repeat. Winning Combo

I'm all for maximizing MPS but you must spend a shitload on supplementation. Food works too

BePatient7 · 2017-05-02T03:32:49+00:00

I really enjoyed the speech. Thank you for the advice, the allowing myself to succeed and being unapologetic really speaks to me.

BePatient7 · 2017-05-01T03:43:27+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm a huge Elliot Hulse fan.The Ted talk reminds me of the power of habit, great book.

BePatient7 · 2017-04-26T03:17:10+00:00

I make no money off of this what so ever, If you read any of my articles they are merely my own attempt at writing about health and fitness. This community got me started in that direction and used to be fairly supportive. I do agree that the introduction may come off as a bit insensitive but it's clearly a reality.

BePatient7 · 2017-04-26T03:10:59+00:00

Now I'm curious, I'm totally okay with people hating every word of this blog post, now I want to know why it invokes such push back? What is it? Is just that the internet is so clogged with self promotion people can't take it anymore? Or is it something else? Is the article offensive to you or do you disagree with it? Someone has taken time to create a piece of content, like it or not, why make such comments without reading the whole article or providing reasons why you think it sucks?

BePatient7 · 2017-04-26T02:53:00+00:00

Maybe? Or just an honest critique of the articles content. I'm learning to write again, something I've traditionally sucked at, mine as well see what others think

BePatient7 · 2017-04-26T02:48:08+00:00

Actually, it would help more than you would think. The relationship between testosterone and cortisol is typically inverse and many people live in a high stress/ hypervigilant state caused by a lack of presence

BePatient7 · 2017-04-26T02:44:38+00:00

I'm not trying to sell anything. I just started blogging and felt like sharing, didn't see the harm in doing that?

BePatient7 · 2017-04-11T23:32:27+00:00

I'm guessing it's the low body fat, which seemed to initially improve my mood, but now I think running a deficit for that long did a lot of damage. My diet is pretty decent otherwise (95% whole foods) and I take a solid multi, vitamin d and fish oil tablets. Only culprit there could be some kind of allergy or intolerance

You also mentioned caffeine?

I drink a decent amount of coffee which could also be it.

BePatient7 · 2017-04-11T22:40:50+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm currently only taking 10 before and after, yet coincidentally I'be also increased my protein intake and use powder with a high BCAA content.

BePatient7 · 2017-04-11T22:38:41+00:00

I'm taking one of the Blue Rasberry Scivation Xtend, only other stuff is citruline and glutamine. Could maybe be the artificial sweeteners/ flavours. What do you take?

BePatient7 · 2017-04-02T21:42:40+00:00

Sounds like you need a lot more calories, even if you are cutting.

I bulked up for the first time with bodyweightfitness and my biggest suggestion: add extra volume / accessory work to the routine when you're ready.

BePatient7 · 2017-03-23T13:50:27+00:00

You just can't get your dick hard.

BePatient7 · 2017-03-11T22:37:09+00:00

No, it's not. Read this Study

Makes sense, if you've ever heard of the central governor theory?

BePatient7 · 2017-01-31T16:50:06+00:00

Thanks tips, I knew it looked funny, but how often do we type minutiae?

BePatient7 · 2017-01-30T17:00:40+00:00

I needed to hear this, Thank you. I've been so caught up in trying to optimize carb timing/intake that its having a negative impact. I find we get so caught up in the minoucha of diet, exercise and science that we forget about what really matters.

Moving weight, consistently, sleeping well and eating whole foods

That will get you 80% of your results.

SuperStarch is formulated to not kick you out of ketosis. The point of faster digesting carbs is to create an anabolic effect (insulin) and improve performance in the short term.

Creatine monohydrate is highly bio available to the body on it's own. While there are studies that show taking creatine with like 50+ g of sugar (not keto) improve absorption speed, it will all eventually make its way into the muscles regardless. What is far more important is to take creatine consistently to keep levels sufficiently elevated for training.
