bumping for answer, i definitely got that weaker jaw going

Lifting increases testosterone levels over a long period of time.
Unless you have a pushed back maxilla, it will endeed make your face much more masculine if you lift for years.
Actually, lifting itseld doesnt matter that much, being jacked and shredded does.
dropping bodyfat will make you masculine
So if you have an already "normal" body (not fat or skinny) and don't give a fuck about athletic performance or what other bodybuilders think of you, why not just curl?
Women look at arms on a guy the same way guys look at legs on a girl. I see plenty of "Meh" looking girls with great legs who I'd fuck the hell out of. So why not just do curls?
>>37228252
because biceps are lower on the hierarchy of getting good arms than forearms or triceps are
>>37228252
You are such a fucking idiot
Takes forever to get good arms with curls.
In our first biochemistry class we literally learn that glycolysis (sugar breakdown) is the first and most primitive way that the cell uses to obtain energy.
So how the fuck paleolists made up the fat bullshit? Can you really reprogram your body to use fat instead of sugar first?
>>37228234
They don't train their body to use fat first, they literally starve their body of carbs and sugars so that their body switches to its secondary source of fuel (fat)
>>37228234
Stored ATP and phosphocreatine are used prior to glycolytic processes taking over as primary energy sources. As far as fat being used before carbs or vice versa, that's oversimplifying how it works. Carbs will be used (via anaerobic glycolysis) when ATP is consumed at a higher rate than oxidative phosphorolation can replace it (such as sudden increases in workload). In steady state energy expenditure contexts the ATP demand over time and the available resources dictate what gets used when. The "fat burning...

So I've been working out for about a year now, but because I'm an aspie I only use the machines.
I always thought that I made some progress and even other people noticed me being fit. My question is, is this whole free weight thing just a meme (inb4 functional strength)? Why would it be so much better than machines if I really try to make the exercise work well?
What would be the first step to move on to free weights?

> if u hav puss use masheen

>I always thought that I made some progress and even other people noticed me being fit.
You're not an aspie, you're retarded. You measure progress with weight and numbers, not feelings and comments.
>My question is, is this whole free weight thing just a meme (inb4 functional strength)?
What whole free weights thing? You mean are weights a meme? Because that's almost as retarded as the first thing you said.

There's a couple things about free weights. First, you're body is forced to support the weight, which means stabilizers have to be used. Second, machines (non-cable) have a fixed ROM which can be bad for your joints. For example, some people wreck their shoulders with the butterfly machine.
That said, they still aren't as terrible as they're made out to be. It's not like you won't make gains using machines. And plenty of people use machines without injuries.

He obviously goes a lot more in depth in the book. A lot of the stuff sounds obvious but it's really been good to think about it.
Here's a tl:dr; I found of habbit #5:
First seek to understand the other person, and only then try to be understood. Stephen Covey presents this habit as the most important principle of interpersonal relations.
Effective listening is not simply echoing what the other person has said through the lens of one's own experience. Rather, it...

So I just finished watching Bigger Faster Stronger by Chris Bell on Netflix, and it gave me a new perspective on performance enhancing drugs.
I was fascinated by the discussion of “where do we draw the line on artificially enhancing ourselves?”
Pretty much everybody uses drugs: may it be performance enhancing drugs for sports, study, rehabilitation, military, or even every day function like sleep/aid, caffeine, vitamins, etc.
Why are specifically performance enhancing drugs still illegal and so frowned upon? Why is there no open discussion on this subject and therefore further study?
Where do we draw the line? I feel like this topic eventually leads to the discussion of technological singularity. As our technology progresses, we force ourselves to change and adapt the way we view what is acceptable in our society.
If we have the knowledge to modify our genetic sequence to achieve the best possible outcome, why shouldn’t we? In the future, when we’re able to enhance our vision, hearing or even cognition, what then?
The future of sports in the next two decades is going to be very interesting to say the least.
tl;dr we have the tech to better ourselves, so why limit ourselves?

so basically richer man wins? we already have capitalism, why capitalism in all sports too?
although it is already on the way...

>If we have the knowledge to modify our genetic sequence to achieve the best possible outcome, why shouldn’t we?
This is a big, important question. It reminds me of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Imagine a society where every individual is optimized genetically. But, if we all have genius-level IQs and physiques like Arnie, would we miss the diversity and authenticity of our former selves? Will we be robbing ourselves of some of the mystery of life by stripping away every...

60mg anavar pr Day, for 21 days. No pct.
Will get doc to check me before and after the cycle.
No pct because i have no idea where to get it.
Im 22 years old and my diet is good.
Isn't that supposed to be near pointless without a test base unless you're female? If you have no PCT won't you lose anything you gain because you're shut down and aren't producing test naturally?
>>37226886
Hoping that i wont get shut Down. Hence the doctors appointment to check my test.
If test is Low i guess doc til pescribe some meds
>>37226904
You hope he will. Buy some PCT of darknet at least
