lifting isn’t about looking good it’s about functioning like a human should. resistance training triggers hormones, repairs your brain, burns fat, rewrites genes. the cellular effects of lifting: 1/

testosterone spike: heavy compound lifting increases serum testosterone 15-30% acutely for 15-30 minutes post-workout. this temporary increase signals protein synthesis and neural drive enhancement. no lifting = flatter hormone curve 2/

@IterIntellectus please please compile all your health threads into a single thread so that I can bookmark your mega thread compilation

@IterIntellectus Also it makes you look really good.

@IterIntellectus Also, it is about looking good

@IterIntellectus bro i lift to ape harder

@IterIntellectus nice yapping but lifting is about looking good though

@IterIntellectus Who are you to say what lifting is and isn’t about regarding personal values

@IterIntellectus absolutely. it's all about body strength for daily life, not just looks.

@IterIntellectus focus on strength can lead to awesome everyday health moments.

@IterIntellectus A forklift can outdo a human's strength hundredfold without even trying. Lifting is pretty much aesthetic at this point.

@IterIntellectus Great stuff, lifting good. But not all inflammation bad, just too much inflammation bad. Dietary inflammation mostly bad. But no Inflammation mean no muscle recovery and cell regeneration. A little dietary inflammation from phyto-chemicals good too for Hormesis. rate my comment

@IterIntellectus So crossfit is better than gym.

@IterIntellectus Good stuff. Can you do a thread on nose breathing? I think a lot of people fail at it. Myself included

@IterIntellectus Dang bro gotta lift homie 💪🏻
