It is well established that the brain uses more energy than any other human organ, accounting for up to 20 percent of the body's total haul. Not only that but our brains can only be fueled by blood glucose, which is converted by our bodies from carbohydrates. That means all those people out there who are cutting carbs out of their diets, are starving their brains.

I propose that instead of dieting, and exercising we should become more like Stephen Hawking. The only thing he does is sit on his lazy ass all day thinking, burning all that energy, ensuring that those carbs he eats turn into blood glucose for his brain rather than fat for his belly.

Hey /fit/
So there's this question which I have avoided for a long time.
When I get on the scales to measure myself, let's say I get something like 85 kg (190 lbs) and then I get on them again the next day (or once, twenty minutes later, even) it goes up to something like 90 kg (200 lbs).
You can see how demotivational and misguiding this can be. I usually measure at the same time (and I have quite a routine bowel-movement-program) so I don't think it's related to that sort of thing. Any advices or ideas would be appreciated.

Change the battery, electronic scales get weird when the battery is low.

i got a $7 electronic from Target. it goes to 1 decimal and can be changed btwn lb, kg, and stone. i always weigh myself in triplicate and it has zero variance. i then confirmed the weight with a triple beam at the gym and the values agreed.
so some electronic scales seem accurate and precise. not OPs though

I have one scale that says 170lbs and then varies wildly, and a second scale that says 160lbs and then varies wildly.

I don't even care what I weigh anymore.

What does /fit/ think about trampolines as exercise? I'm a runner, but this article seems to make me think that trampolines would be a much more effective exercise method, bullshit or fact?

I don't think it provides the same level of cardiovascular benefit that running does, purely because you're not exerting yourself as much.

I do gymnastics twice a week and I always find that my muscles bounce too much on the tramps, kinda like how boobs do I guess. It feels wierd.

Loving the mats though, flipping is great explosive excersize

Trampolines put a lot of stress on your knees and hips, I'd stay away from them.

So, after performing my forearm workout (consisting in hanging from a rope for about 30 seconds, as I'm following CC2) my fingers have this numbness, and I have trouble to open them for a while. I'm also developing calluses in my hands and fingers. Also, the other day my index's joints started aching, not that much but I'm starting to worry, because I don't wanna fuck them up in the long road, but pretty much the opposite.
Is this normal or according to the expectations? does it happens to you sometimes, for example, after performing several pull-ups? or am I doing something wrong and I'm gonna screw my fingers for good?
Thank you very much for answering.

I'm Also Interested, But As Long As You Are Working Every Muscle They Should All Develop To Accommodate Your Mass.

Man don't grow after 21/22 years. Testosterone actually ends the growing, that's why man with testosterone deficits such as those who have Klinefelter syndrome tend to be really tall.

I'm 1.68 m, pretty fucked 'cause I'm 22, and so are you OP.
Also, don't greentext like that in here... you're already aware I guess.

>The bones and the brain are two important tissues in humans where the primary effect of testosterone is by way of aromatization to estradiol. In the bones, estradiol accelerates ossification of cartilage into bone, leading to closure of the epiphyses and conclusion of growth.

Take a look at least at the wikipedia before you talk, nigger.

Are there any serious studies out there explaining how masturbation affects gains/ testosterone levels? I'm fapping about twice a day since I broke with my gf... I know that ain't good for my mental health, but I also am concerning about this.

Fapping will not make your T levels drop. Don't worry about it. Not fapping for a week does increase it though, just a little bit.



Soy as a source of protein Anonymous 12/10/30(Tue)04:38 No. 10790 [Reply]

How good is it? I know there is soy protein powder, but I'm talking about the regular, spongy soy that you can buy on stores and cook.

How does it compare with meat?

Plant estrogens have zero effect on humans, unlike the stuff thats injected into cows to make them grow more meat.
Soy however is mostly GMO, so its frankenfood and the japanese don't eat as much of it as americans think they do.
Its how you prepare it really. Since it soaks up whatever you cook it in, it can be fatty if fried in oil, salty if you use soy sauce, or healthier if you stick to more healthy sauces. If you must eat soy in large quantities find organic soy that didn't come out of Monsanto's laboratories.

If you're maintaining a high level of physical activity during the week, try for 128 oz. (1 US gallon).
