@AbudBakri consuming sufficient calories may cause almost no harm other than an increased body fat percentage. However, a 70-kilogram person wanting to reach 100 kilograms using steroids or performance-enhancing drugs may face risks alongside the benefits.

@AbudBakri Actually, wouldn’t this example better illustrate the trade-off? Let’s consider an athlete. He weigh 55 kilograms and want to gain weight to reach 65 kilograms. Within normal limits and parameters, gaining weight after following the prescribed training regimen and

Myostatin made sense 500 years ago when their was a food shortage Now we need better muscle to lower blood sugar and prevent cardiometabolic disease But are there no consequences? There are never no consequences Is there a finite pool of mitochondria and thyroid? Do you sap your immunity ( T cells help remodel muscle) for hypertrophy?

@AbudBakri and for the t-cells ... i think its about the over-training - long term heavy workouts with no de-load sessions/weeks. is that true?

@mihai_vie Your gym routine?

10 years of figuring it out. Different training styles. Different nutritional approaches. Periods of poor training, periods of complete obsession. More wrong turns than right ones, especially early on. Wouldn’t trade it for the world 2015->2017->2023->2025 “Nobody wants to put in the work for 10 years but 10 years is going to pass anyway so you might as well just put in the work”

If you spent as much energy on tackling your problems as you do on avoiding them, you wouldn't have them.

@rand_longevity @DrJesseMorse physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.14814/p… In a study of adolescents published in 2025, supraventricular extrasystoles were observed in 6 of 54 participants, and ventricular bigeminy in 2—even in healthy young people, cold-water immersion carries a risk of arrhythmia.

🚨 Sauna - Is it really that amazing for your health? Yes! And here’s the data to prove it ⬇️

@rand_longevity @DrJesseMorse pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC34… "Shattock and Tipton’s (2012) landmark article in the Journal of Physiology, which identified the autonomic conflict mechanism showed that cold water immersion can cause cardiac arrhythmias with a high incidence in healthy volunteers.

@CowsEatGrassBlg not HRV* pulse.

@CowsEatGrassBlg + I used to do Uddiyana Bandha and I saw a lot of improvments like my mean HRV has dropped a lot. Actually, It is like 57 at the morning then I did it for 1 month I checked it every morning then It came as 50 - 51 and my systolic blood pressure is like 115 - 117 then It came 112.

Here is a list of ten things that can help improve blood sugar regulation: Breathe into a bag Do supported Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Bridge Pose) Use eggshell calcium Use a red light device with a Coke Practice Uddiyana Bandha Spend time at higher altitudes Go for a walk in a forest Drink 3-5 coffees in the morning with sugar or food Practice nasal breathing and mouth taping at night Go to sleep early

@Zygocel @limitlesstack As always!

@blgymt @limitlesstack I’m glad you’re embracing your stupidity!

the skincare industry doesn't want this $20 tube to be enough. but it is. not for acne. anti aging. - reverses photoaging - stimulates collagen production - accelerates cell turnover - repairs sun damage at the cellular level - slows epidermal thinning - reduces fine lines and wrinkles - reduces hyperpigmentation - reduces pore size - unclogs pores - evens skin texture - eliminates rough patches - gives skin a natural reflectivity. the tret "glow". - reduces acne scarring - firms skin over time via collagen remodeling if you want actor level skin. one tube. tretinoin.

@Zygocel @limitlesstack If getting sunlight daily makes me low iq primal, i'll accept that as a beaitful word. Thanks

@blgymt @limitlesstack Oh god don’t tell me you’re another low iq primal bro?🤣🤣🤣

@yoursimmo11 Highcortisolmaxxing

The 4:45am alarm, the cold plunge, the fasted training, the black coffee on an empty stomach, the 20g of creatine monohydrate, and the Whoop strap telling you your HRV is 38... That stack put three of my clients in the hospital before they were 50.

@CowsEatGrassBlg (survivorship bias). No one lists the yoga instructors who died young. Additionally, yoga instructors generally don’t drink alcohol, don’t smoke, follow a plant-based diet, and experience low stress—attributing their long lifespans solely to breathing is a causal fallacy.

@CowsEatGrassBlg The comparison is flawed from the start because the sample of professional bodybuilders consists of an elite group that has used performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) for decades; the list of “top yoga masters,” on the other hand, is based on a selection of survivors

Pro bodybuilders (1948–2014 study): average death age 47.7 years…34% higher mortality, mostly heart issues (probably in part from PEDs.) Top yoga masters: Indra Devi 102, T. Krishnamacharya 100, Connie Dennison 102, Ida Herbert 103, Tao Porchon-Lynch 101, V. Nanammal 99, B.K.S. Iyengar 95, Vera Paley 103, K. Pattabhi Jois 93, Swami Vishnudevananda Saraswati 102, Charlotte Chopin 102, Bernice Bates 99, Salomon Delgado 93, Muriel Black 90…average 99 years. Breath > barbells.

@Zygocel @limitlesstack using sunscreen and avoiding sun is ... especially why you are avoiding the sun? biggest mistake ever

@blgymt @limitlesstack lol yeah uhhh that’s why you wear sunscreen and avoid the sun as much as you can? This is known. Lol
