Gooning is one of the worst things you can do to your 🧠 and πŸ†, and if you need No Nut November as an excuse to stop, you NGMI. Repeated ejaculation and sexual exhaustion downregulate androgen receptors (AR) in brain regions responsible for sexual desire, motivation, and reward, while upregulating estrogen receptor alpha (ERΞ±). This reduces your brain’s responsiveness to testosterone and DHT, even when your hormone levels are perfectly normal. Every orgasm also triggers a prolactin spike, which contributes to sexual satiety. Chronically elevated prolactin suppresses testosterone production and disrupts androgen signaling. It also interacts with pathways involving 5Ξ±-reductase (5AR), the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into the much more potent androgen DHT and helping produce neurosteroids like allopregnanolone. Add hours of porn and constant stimulation, and you’re conditioning your brain to depend on increasingly intense sexual stimuli, making normal sexual experiences less rewarding. The result is weaker erections, reduced penile sensitivity, lower libido, reduced sexual motivation, and difficulty getting aroused with a real partner. And the worst part? You can have excellent testosterone and DHT levels on paper while your sexual function suffers because hormone levels mean very little if your tissues aren’t responding properly.

one plus is it made me way less obsessive about my body. just months of watching paint dry and not looking in the mirror for progress
Bulking is harder than cutting, and nobody wants to hear it. Cutting is just subtraction. The scale drops, the mirror improves, and every week tells you what you're doing wrong or what you're doing right. You're hungry for 4 months and then you're done. Bulking gives you nothing at all. NOTHING. The scale goes up whether you got it right or not. Fat and muscle both weigh something. So for the first 6 weeks, you have no idea which one is coming up. Then there's the eating. Everyone assumes resisting food is the hard part. Try forcing down 3,500 calories on a day you aren't hungry. When you're sick, when you're busy. Then do it again tomorrow, for 12 months. You can strip a pound of fat in a week. You build 1 pound of muscle in a MONTH. And less so if you're advanced. On a cut, you feel sexier every week. On a bulk, you feel uglier every week. And it only pays off at the end if you went all the way. If it didn't, all you did was just eat.

Motor vehicle accident, for the uninitiated
If you see someone in an MVA, Under NO circumstances should you move him out of the road, in case he is suffering a spinal fracture. An inconvenience to drivers is temporary. Do you know what isn’t? Permanent paraplegia from a spinal cord injury.

If you get skin damage from pre 10 am UVI 2 you probably have spent a total of 35 minutes under direct Sunlight over the past month and now you're afraid of taking a vacation Many such cases No graduality in Sun exposure, get burned once a year then cocluding it's the Sun and/or genetics Couldn't be me Couldn't be US Touch some Sun
It is a constant uphill battle convincing a normie that β€œmorning sunlight” is INFINITELY superior to any mode of red light therapy β€œBut sunlight will damage my skin” If you get skin damage from UVI 2, you’re the most albino caucasoid alive

This is why you don’t just eat chicken and rice and you eat the gelatin like we’ve been saying. Your soft tissue injuries are a diet issue.

Don’t take mag citrate if your gut motility is normal and regular
90% of you are taking the wrong magnesium and wondering why you feel nothing magnesium oxide is only 43% soluble even in stomach acid. it's the cheap filler in almost every supermarket tub citrate or glycinate. check the back of the bottle before you buy another one

Avoid heavy fat meals close to your workout. Fat slows gastric emptying, which can leave you feeling sluggish and may delay the digestion and absorption of the nutrients you’re trying to get in around training. A better approach is to keep fats lower in your pre- and post workout meals, then have the majority of your daily fat intake in meals furthest away from training and in your pre bed meal. One small nuance is that fat doesn’t meaningfully reduce total nutrient absorption in a healthy person, but it does slow the rate at which food leaves the stomach, which is why lower fat meals are generally preferred around training, especially if performance is the priority.
Sorry. I should have clarified. There aren't any "good or bad" carbs for performance. Rookie mistake: The wrong amount at the wrong time Specifically, for training, it is just fuel. 2 hours before training: >Rice >Pasta >Potatoes >Oats >bread >Fruit 30 minutes before training: >Banana >Toast with Jam >Rice Cakes >Cereal >GUMMIES During Training > Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin (HBCD) * Aim for 30 grams of carbohydrates per hour After Training > Combo with Protein > Rice and Chicken :D > 1 gram per kilogram in the first hour (if you are training again in the afternoon) A Carbohydrate only becomes "bad" if: - Cause gastric distress - Leaves you sluggish - Makes calorie control impossible - Does not match the intensity or duration of your session Don't train like a poosi

β€œI can’t believe there are people out there with working brains that still believe regular soda is better for you than diet soda” β€” Max Lugavere Here’s the thing, Max: There are people out there that believe that…but they do NOT have working brains That is for certain!
Diet Sodas are a terrible fat loss technique. That's what they want you to believe. That a Zero-Calroie drink is somehow just as bad as the same drink with 35 grams of sugar 🧡

It's good advice. But remember my saying: bad data is good data. If you can't do it. Then don't force it. But it's a signal you need to start employing some hydration techniques. Most people think about nutrition seriously. But hydration as an afterthought.
Did you know? That β€œjust drink more water” is terrible advice?

Imagine telling someone learning the piano to switch instruments every six weeks. Or telling an entrepreneur to change businesses every six weeks. Or telling a writer to switch languages every six weeks. Nobody would recommend that. Because they understand that skill comes before mastery. The same is true in the gym. Every exercise has a learning curve. Before your muscles can get the most out of a movement, your nervous system has to learn it. The better you become at an exercise, the more stable you are. The more stable you are, the more force you can produce. The more force you can produce, the better the training stimulus. If you keep changing your program every six weeks, you never spend enough time beyond the learning phase. You keep paying the cost of learning. You never collect the returns of mastery. Change your program when you’ve outgrown it. Not because six weeks have passed.
You NEED to switch up your gym routine every six weeks, especially if you intend to maximise muscle loss
