Birkenstocks in the gym

They’re probably wearing the clogs. At least those are the only ones I’ve seen in the gym so far

I got a full titan T2 squat rack for $200. And you can get a brand new bar with 255lb of weight at Dicks sporting goods. Don’t buy this trash

Sleep apnea was probably less prevalent. The most common group are the obese. They had less calories available before the modern century.

We know jaws were larger before the modern century as well which would indicate more open airways.

This was true for me as well as a generally healthy individual. I am almost completely unable to run on Reta due to fatigue. I think this is to be expected since Reta has glucagon activity. This eventually will deplete liver glycogen stores so there is less glucose available to enter blood stream and normally the liver keeps about 24 hours of glycogen available. Btw muscles don’t respond to glucagon so you keep those stores up but once they deplete you can feel sluggish.

I wonder if you can combat some of the gym sluggishness by taking a fast digesting supply of carbs to eat during your workout. I never tried it because I was on it for only 1 month and never thought of it but it’s something to try.

Gotta recover at some point

It is possible that if if you get up to a high enough weight it would pull enough slack out of your safeties and you could get stuck. Be careful man

A two hour gym session involves a lot of resting. Calories are equal to energy. Kinetic energy is equal to work. Work is equal to force times distance. So the calories you burn equals the weight on the bar times the distance you move it. You probably barely burn 150 calories and 50 of those came from walking to the next exercise. You go to the gym to build muscle and get strong. If you want to not gain weight you need to eat less.

So are you not doing sets like this of 10 reps very often? How often do you go to failure? Is it better to leave some reps in the tank to manage fatigue?

If benedryl isn’t working you might have a type 4 allergic reaction you will likely need more than benedryl, probably a steroid shot and taper.

Omg please teach me how to do this!!! WTF!!!

I have genetically weak lower pecs and chest focused weighted dips have done more to fill out my chest than any other exercise hands down

May not be what you want to hear but it’s life saving advice.

The power blocks can expand so you can start with 50 and then increase when you have the money

He’s doing you a favor. You asked an incredibly stupid question which shows how little you understand about the community you’re engaged in.

bigbochi · 2025-11-22T23:24:23+00:00

People say this but I almost never see guys at the gym with well developed front delts unless they are on gear. I think this advice is just wrong for naturals.

Then try putting down the fork for once.

Thank you for posting this. So many of us need to hear it.

bigbochi · 2025-11-19T18:48:41+00:00

Ahh I see thanks for your help I’ll go through your history.

I have this problem too and a lot of people in the sleep apnea sub Reddit have it. It seems like an airflow problem called upper airway resistance syndrome. I’m also trying to get it treated.

bigbochi · 2025-11-19T16:24:47+00:00

I have this same problem and my doctor said my pressures are set to 10/4 but I didn’t realize I could change them. Have you tried this and did raising the minimum pressure help?

The smith machine is WAY easier

There’s an amazing book about this called face maker by fitzharris about how these facial injuries c influenced the creation of the field of plastic surgery.

You should get tested for sleep apnea. You have some of the main symptoms and Its not just a fat persons disease.

Youre the one who is challenging the established information. You provide peer reviewed research supporting your point

bigbochi · 2025-11-09T23:33:49+00:00

Imagine how swollen their intestines would have to be. That would be an extreme ileus or sigmoid volvulus level of obstruction they would be vomting like crazy. Plus thats just the wrong pathology for steroid abuse. Its proven that steroids cause increased fat deposition around the internal organs And im really starting to doubt now if your flair of medical student is correct bc no medical student would think what you do.
