Benefits of Creatine Monohydrate: Improved athletic performance: -Enhances strength, power, and high-intensity exercise performance -Increases muscle mass and lean body weight -Improves performance in activities like weight lifting, sprinting, and team sports Muscle health: -Supports muscle growth and recovery -Helos offset age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia), especially when combined with exercise -Can increase muscle phosphocreatine stores, allowing for more rapid ATP energy production -enhance recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage Brain function: -improve cognitive performance, especially in older adults -Could potentially help with certain neurological conditions, though more research is needed General health: -help lower blood sugar levels and improve glycemic control -support heart health and reduce stroke-related damage (preliminary evidence) -anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties Other potential benefits: -help vegetarians and those with naturally low creatine levels -improve bone health when combined with resistance training

@ThePrimalMan The good news of it all? It’s that God forgives all sins. And those that committed the sin of IVF or even abortion are not lost, especially if they were not aware that it was a sin. It’s what comes after. Repetition? Or repentance?

When using IVF there are multiple conceived embryos that the doctor will choose the best and most viable from to then implant that one into the mother. All the others? They’re destroyed. It’s no different than a plan B pill or an abortion. Living human embryos are destroyed intentionally. That’s why IVF is evil.
Anthony@Catholicizm1

The idea that the average person understands the evils of IVF is not realistic. I myself didn’t know until a few years ago. This says more about Catholics and pro lifers being bad at getting their message out. Most people think IVF is pro life.

If I could go back in time when I first started lifting I would have wanted to know: - Diet is everything in regards to physique goals - 6-20 rep range is a great place to train for muscle growth, use the entire rep range, there is no secret "hypertrophy 8-12 reps" zone, they all work - Intensity is the key to creating effective workouts & likely you'll need less volume - Training to failure is fine & works very well - Machines are amazing for muscle growth, even better in many cases than free weights - You don’t need to eat absolutely everything to grow - Rest days are growth days - Counting macros/calories is super easy & makes progress so much easier to get - It’s better to get very lean after newbies gains & then bulk slowly for 6+ months - You look even bigger once truly lean so actually stick with a cut & don't freak out that you're "losing too much size broh" - If you keep protein high, calorie deficit isn't too aggressive (less than 1000 calorie deficit), & keep lifting hard/fighting to maintain strength, then you won't lose pretty much any muscle on a cut - There is no reason to get fat on a bulk, it doesn’t help add size - Cardio won’t kill your gains - You can eat carbs and lose fat - Permabulking & spending your first 3 years at like 15-20% body fat is dumb, cut, you feel & look so much better + give yourself awesome conditions to grow - Cutting is easier if you do cardio and track steps - Don’t waste money on supplements, take them for specific reasons and purposes - Trying to 1 rep max all the time is dumb - You can’t just eat everything because you lift (again) - Take more advantage of being able to build muscle & lose fat at the same time with newbie gains

What until he learns about attachment theory… The better the father-child relationship the better outcomes in life for the child, universally. Better ability to deal with stress, more resilient, less mental health issues, more confidence, higher income & education levels, etc. How does this happen? Caregiving, physical contact, play/exploration, attention, comfort & security, etc. This advice below is perfect if you want to GREATLY increase the chance your child performs poorly in school, struggles economically, gets into legal trouble, has massive mental health & self esteem issues, &/or develops drug addictions…

Having the right group of guys around you is so important. Thankfully, during the ups & downs of my life over the past few years, a few guys on here have had my back. We don't speak everyday and I've sadly not met them in person but they've helped me loads.

@anymanfitness No major injury, just enough small things to decide it wasn’t worth it to keep pushing the big lifts anymore.

If you're a serious gym bro with a lot of "gym miles" on you, odds are eventually you'll need to ditch the Big 3 for dumbbells and machines. Or else you'll suffer a debilitating injury. I've seen it multiple times in my gym and it's no bueno.
