A Man

@Bdrew5991 @PurposeFULLred The downstream markers are “too late when they’re bad” for endothelial function, and APOB isn’t directly “cholesterol bad.” But if those were tested and are good, that’s pretty cool man.

It’s been a while but I did about six months into it. I’ve been traveling a lot. LDL was a bit elevation by inflammation markers are very low. My doctor is of the school of thought that LDL may not be as bad as previously thought. Everything else looked great. But I do eat things on Saturdays to make up from what little may be missing in my nutritional profile. I feel like it’s pretty close to how we evolved: big kill = meat. When that runs out, foraging for the rest of the things our bodies adapted to utilize. I feel like my way mirrors it pretty well. But I’d just talk to your doctor if you’re ever considering doing something like this.

35 years old. I literally take nothing.I don’t use a gym. 🤷‍♂️. I’m hanging in there just fine with calisthenics + a small bit of dumbbell work + running. Just in case anyone wants to get in shape but hates the gym (like me) and think’s it’s hopeless.

@Bdrew5991 @PurposeFULLred Have you had cholesterol, APOB, and endothelial function testing ? I’m always curious.

No. I would be honest if I took them, I promise. I take nothing. I eat meat and fish and eggs and cheese until Saturdays, then I refeed glycogen and leptin. That also helps with hormones since I’m running so dry on carbs. The only things I take are magnesium and potassium supplements for electrolytes. I don’t want to sound preachy on here, so I won’t get into the nutritional stuff, but for every gram of carbohydrates you consume, you store 3-4 grams of water. I stay under 15-20 grams per day (mainly from sauces and spices), and the red meat and fat keeps my testosterone healthy. No supplements. No TRT. The 1g =3-4 water rule is a big one for people wanting to reduce bloat. I notice if I even eat a slice of bread. Oh, and due to thermogenesis, you burn off ~30% of total calories in animal protein and it takes much longer to digest so you virtually never overeat. I just load up on steaks and burger patties . 🤷‍♂️ Long answer, but I want you to believe me when I saw you don’t need TRT.

@BowTiedYukon Bro is in great shape for a natty male who isn’t focused on the gym. Perhaps education over antagonism is in order.

Please share more of your high testosterone wisdom please

@JBPritzker Fighting to keep a welfare state together, and rob those who work hard enough to make it possible while preventing the steps taken to reduce the violence in the very neighborhoods you pacify with bread and circus. You are slime.

While the Trump administration tries to send the National Guard into our cities or cut food assistance for our families and kids, Illinois is fighting back. That's who we are.

@FitnessEmpiree Generally the lower fatigue allows you to maintain greater consistency. It burns less calorically but it’s easier to do fasted, and it’s not anaerobic which in theory helps “target.” But imo it’s not strictly better, unless you’re already accumulating greater fatigue from lifting

Gym bro : Why is walking on a treadmill more effective and burns fat than runnung on it?

@Suntimes Huh

“Sure, there always will be South Side swimming standouts, like Fraser Robinson, Michelle Obama’s father. But the absence of year-round swimming facilities on the Far South Side raises the risk of drowning for Black children,” writes Maisie O’Malley. chicago.suntimes.com/other-views/20…

@asafhadar2 @piersmorgan Tbh this took balls. Israel isn’t that big and this is gaining traction.

I am an Israeli citizen, and I sincerely hope people around the world will hear this: I oppose this terrible government with all my heart, especially Ben-Gvir, one of the worst ministers in Israel’s history. I, along with many Israelis, suffer from this government more than anyone and long to see it replaced. In four months, Israel will hold elections. I will do everything I can to help remove this terrible government and bring a better one for the country and society. A government that will repair the damage left by the current one and rebuild Israel’s relations with the free world.

How are we supposed to ignore Ben Gvir when he’s Israel’s National Security Minister and just demanded genocide in Lebanon?

@DeanTTraining Hey Dean, big fan actually, any time I make an X account I eventually find your content and give a follow before I get tired of saturating my brain with this many opinions. Shut up stop telling there’s already a line 🥹

The most jacked dudes in the gym & on social media are doing Hip Thrusts Basement dwellers on the internet that haven’t touched a woman in the last 10 years (if ever) refuse to do Hip Thrusts in public because, according to these types, the exercise is “ghey” LESSON IN THERE…

@Linahuaa Imagine thinking women in the social media age are that different. Using Ken as an example as if he doesn’t look like a skeletonized civil war general.

Andrew Tate is clueless about European girls. They're on average more liberal than American women, thus, even more "whore-ish" But European women have higher standards for looks and taste, and aren't impressed by the loud American "confidence" Paypal co-founder & billionaire Ken Howery asked Trump to make him Ambassador to Sweden so he could pick up Swedish chicks. He spent a million dollars on yacht parties. Couldn't score any chick and went home empty-handed. Andrew Tate would have a super hard time scoring non-Slav EU chicks as well. It's a huge style mismatch. But no, EU girls bigger whores actually.

@DanProft Are you retarded professionally or simply as a hobby ?

The good news is Chicago is just a few social safe spaces at places like the Art Institute away from bringing the violence to an end. We just have to guard against falling into the "criminality" trap by treating illegal conduct as a law enforcement issue rather than a socio-emotional issue rooted in young people's self-esteem and perceived sense of opportunity. BLM Brandon is on the job.

@JasonXinTX Just make sure you got some fiber in the schedule there big dog. oats perhaps.

“Meal prepping is expensive and hard” 20 minutes $63 9 lbs of grass fed 90/10 ground beef I will eat on for 7 days 2lbs of jasmine rice going in the rice cooker too.

@BowTiedUM My strict DB OHP was 80/80 before TRT. I’m two months in and we’re working toward 90s for 10. Does this mean I am cool or what ?

Just Run the Numbers The overhead press is the most honest lift in the gym There is no bench to absorb the load, no machine to stabilize the bar, and no leg drive to cheat the weight up Most men cannot strict press their girlfriend's bodyweight overhead. Heavy pressing is a fast twitch activity. Fast twitch training produces acute spikes in DHT, the strongest natural androgen in the male body Acute spikes upregulate 5AR via DNMT1 suppression and lifting the ERa break* A lifestyle of many acute spikes = permanent high DHT DHT is the hormone responsible for composure, impulse control, delayed gratification, and goal oriented reward preference When DHT drops too low relative to estrogen, biochemistry will actively promote: -Compulsive and deviant sexuality -Hedonic treadmill / cheap dopamine seeking -Emotional reactivity -Elevated neuroticism -Inability to think long term -Dopamine chasing replaces goal directed motivation This is the EXACT hormonal architecture that drives heat in female mammals Men whose androgen to estrogen ratio has fallen below the 350 threshold are running FEMALE IN HEAT FIRMWARE THIS IS NOT A JOKE Ratio = [Test(ng/dl) + DHT(ng/dl)] / E2 (ng/dl) > 350 While, T:D = 10:1 or Less Male DHT levels have fallen as much as 75% in the last four decades. Most men alive today have never been above 350. A strict overhead press in the 130 to 150 lb range requires some consistent heavy training That training permanently upregulates the enzyme that produces DHT. The change is epigenetic. It persists even after intensity drops. The man who can press his woman overhead has been sending his biology a competitive, high intensity signal for long enough that his hormonal profile restructured at the level of gene expression His composure, calm, and control is chemical and structural That's why when women shit test him, it bounces right back at them He's not performing the composure, calm, and control, he IS that AND THAT'S WHAT THE SHIT TEST IS BIOLOGICALLY DESIGNED TO LOOK FOR There is also a pheromone layer underneath this. The DHT pathway produces androsterone, the dominant male pheromone Her body reads his hormonal status through chemistry before her conscious mind forms a single thought about him The overhead press also happens to be the one lift that maps directly to the ability to pick a woman up and carry her away from danger For 200,000 years of human evolution, that physical capability was the single most important trait a woman could assess in a potential mate A single lift that simultaneously verifies training discipline, hormonal status, behavioral stability, pheromone chemistry, and the evolutionary protection signal Can go into electromagnetism aka "aura", but will get into that another time *(AR cistromic competition blocking 78 to 83% of E2 regulated genes antagonistically, DAX 1 mediated aromatase suppression, AIB1/SRC 3 coactivator squelching, the four layer Casey Wilson/Need/De Amicis/Lanzino mechanism)

@Bowtiedplayer I avoid places that determine entry by clothing if it isn’t for safety. Sorry sir, you’ve brought the wrong combination of material arrangement. If the barrier to entry is based on that, there’s nothing I want there.

Checking how many of my followers know ball. For men's fashion, what is the one article of clothing that by far, and there is an objectively correct answer, that can either DQ you from a bouncer at a nice event, or let you in past the velvet ropes?

@BowTiedYukon For the friends.

Assembly of the retards in the comments

@Nalin_Haley Idk man. Testing at 400 at 31 after 16 years of dedicated aggressive fitness, 13 years of religious meal prepping, and a solid supplement/sleep regimen was pretty disheartening. I’ve just been trudging on mentally by willpower alone. It’s pretty nice just wanting to do shit.

This is not MAHA. This is like making suicide more accessible. If you wanna increase testosterone, do it naturally by living a healthy lifestyle it’s really not that hard.

@MaxCorps69 @FreeThinkRed @LeadingReport Name was a lie.

@FreeThinkRed @LeadingReport I went to a testosterone clinic, was over dosed and I wigged The F out! It has to be administered in a more controlled way

Trump admin seeks to roll back testosterone restrictions, per NYP.

@BrianAtlas She doesn’t actually think this. She’s just been asked to coffee by someone she was insulted to be talking to.

Hoeflation is insane rn. Average at best girls be pressed about coffee dates lol.

@yifever I don’t want to. It’s for the Japanese.

all japan lovers and japan haters should try to live in Japan for 2 years before being allowed to have an opinion

@yoamomonstruos Americans truly believe they have a chance at anything. That’s a feature not a bug
