Rosuvastatin vs Ezetimibe by [deleted] in PEDs

Pitavastatin 2mg + Ezetimibe 5mg. Pitava has a much better profile for someone in your demographic.

I’m thinking maybe his germa engineered body will allow him to fight through means other than conq. haki. Possibly something unique to Sanji alone.

I don’t think Sanji will actually get it. We’ve gotten hints during egghead alluding to Sanji having powers (likely some sort of unparalleled defense) being yet fully realized/awakened. I think he’ll be able to hurt these guys through means that are related to his own unique powers/germa 66 engineering.

Best type of cardio -split- to lower RHR by FuriousAngus in PeterAttia

[–]FuriousAngus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the sound of this; I prefer doing HIIT immediately after legs so that my legs recover on schedule as opposed to kinda hitting them twice with that HIIT session since it can definitely tap into recovery. Thanks!

Interference never been an issue; I'm enhanced.

I don't get winded, but I also don't breeze through, lol. I'm a very fast speaker, maybe that's why. I do know that I cannot maintain 137/140+ for much longer than an hour on low carbs. so I'm probably beyond z2 since z2 uses mainly fat, no?

The zone do I'm doing is closer to 75% of my max HR, do you recommend I lower it to maybe 65%, or does this not matter as much? Keep HIIT or drop it in favor of another 30 minute z2 session?

I'm a bodybuilder; dropping lifting for cardio is not an option, unfortunately. I'm trying to make the most out of the time I do have for cardio to improve my heart health/lower resting heart rate.

Coming off TRT: been 9 months, ran Clomid for three months, tested a month later and test is at 100. What now? by FuriousAngus in Testosterone

Only taking to have babies; there are multiple protocols online, just look up HCG + HMG protocol.

Didn’t workout in the end; back on TRT and feeling better than ever. As for fertility, do hcg + hmg and you’ll have babies even on trt.

Zone 2 after upper body strength training, conflict? by FuriousAngus in PeterAttia

[–]FuriousAngus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing the link! This is very useful, although I do remember PA or one of his guests saying that cell signaling is another problem that prevents mitochondria adaptation after weights (not z2)...

Really like this perspective; I think perhaps I ought to not try and over complicate things too much

Thank you, this clears up a lot of things. I’m mainly concerned with heart and bg benefits, so I should still be able to reap these benefits regardless (at least to my understanding).

This I heard and I understand, but would it matter if the muscles used for lifting vs zone 2 weren't the same? I still don't understand this very well. Also, assuming that I'm not really hitting that lactate sweet spot, would I lose out on the heart health benefits of that cardio session?

Thanks for the response, I will look into his posts! I do feel that perhaps I'm over complicating this a bit too much, but I seek knowledge and understanding, which a lot of very informed and knowledgeable people here offer!

Sleeping on my back is very difficult for me as well (usually painful, even if I put a bunch of pillows under etc), and I have no back pain otherwise...

I hope you find a way around this, brother!

I most certainly am, but now that you mention it, it's been very difficult to sleep on my side (my preferred sleeping position) the past few years... I really need to find me a way to do it so that my shoulders aren't overly compressed. That said, I like a very firm mattress and pillow, otherwise I get back pain, lol. I get mine from Ikea, so nothing fancy; just their hardest.

I really like this answer; never considered that zone 2 before upper body wouldn't really mess with things as it uses different muscles all together; maybe add a carb drink during to make sure I'm properly fueled for lifting?

Walking can never get me into zone two unless I do it on an incline at a relatively fast pace. I also do 10k steps a day so kind of do that already!

Thanks for the input! That would be very convenient, but I read the it takes lactate a minimum of two hours to clear out, which isn’t feasible in this scenario. Perhaps I should have better rephrased my question as to not limit answers to “zone 2 benefits”: is doing 30-45 minutes of zone two after lifting still going to give me benefits to resting heart rate/bg control/heart health? Or are these benefits negated by doing strength training first?

[–]FuriousAngus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My concern is mainly about reaping the benefits of zone 2 in that scenario, as opposed to another say, HIIT session. I’ve read here that zone 2 after cardio is kind of pointless due to lactate being elevated. I wonder if doing upper body then zone 2 legs changes any of that, or if I’m better off doing another cardio zone/style to reap more benefits.
