    Performance Anxiety solution

    It depends on how the anxiety is effecting you. Are you having problems getting an erection or are you getting an erection and cumming too fast?

    Anyone is using ashwaganda here?

    I've been using it for several years.. As for whether you should depends on what you want from it. I use it to reduce the feelings of stress. I typically use it in the evening. In the morning and daytime I use Rhodiola. I don't use either all the time. If you were using ashwagandha for...

    Are Personal Trainers a Waste of Money

    IMO, most are glorified sales people with clipboards and polo shirts who received their certification online and must follow commonly accepted practices advocated by their certifying bodies that dispense training and nutritional knowledge that has long been outdated and proven wrong or...

    Has weightlifting changed

    I see nothing wrong with your routine and your 2x10 set/reps especially if you are doing every other day. The biggest concern is are you adding weight either every workout or every other workout? If not, you should be. And if you are then this routine is going to have a very short shelf life...

    Has weightlifting changed

    Bodybuilding advice has changed but the principles that produce results have not. Squat, bench, deadlifts, overhead presses, rows, power cleans, pull-up, and dips will always be the best and most efficient ways of gaining general mass and strength. What has changed the most is the internet and...

    RED MEAT.

    Hey Scaramouche. I actually didn't mean we should eat a 95% animal diet. My point is that 95% of animal's can be consumed by humans without deleterious effects as opposed to 95% of plant life cannot be consumed by humans. But eating 95% animal based would likely improve many peoples health. I...

    RED MEAT.

    Good question. I'll just give you another hypothesis similar to that of the vegetables. Like vegetables don't want to be eaten which is why most are toxic. Fruit does want to be eaten. Humans can technically eat about 95% of animal life out there. It may not taste good but they won't kill us...

    RED MEAT.

    In a way yes. My bigger point is that we should challenge the status quo as to what is a healthy diet. We are supposedly much smarter today than our ancestors with this research and that research yet we are the fattest and more diseased than any other time in our history. And the fact that we...

    RED MEAT.

    This is true but the fact of the matter is that there are antioxidants in meat and more specifically organ meats. The antioxidants found in organ meats are much more bioavailable. If you aren't eating a lot of processed food to include sugar, grains, and the like, than the body requires less...

    RED MEAT.

    I eat mostly red meat as it contains a lot of nutrition in ample amounts that other meats do not. Creatine is an example of this. If red meat contains exogenous toxic compounds such as steroids, antibiotics and glyphosate etc., it seems to concentrate and store into the fat of the animals. As a...

    Vegetables and gasses

    I deal with it by not eating vegetables. The benefits of vegetables is overhyped. Many of the benefits from vegetables are a result of hormesis. Your body could get the same response from other forms of hormesis such as exercise, sauna, cold exposures, and fasting to name a few. Vegetables have...

    Leg Day

    The reason not to skip leg day is because leg day typically involves the most musculature than any other training day. The more musculature, especially in the form of basic compound movements such as squats, mean a larger anabolic effect and testosterone release. This amplifies and accelerates...

    Out of Curiosity: How do the Frat Boys Do It?

    There are likely several factors. 1) They created a solid base way before beginning their more indulgent lifestyle. 2) Their specific genetics deposit fat differently. In the beginning stages of metabolic disfunction, some may store fat on the outside working inward. Some deposit from the inside...

    Equipments for gaining muscles at home? Tips welcomed too.

    Based I what you have told us, I would suggest not getting anymore equipment yet. You already have several modalities listed and at this early stage it will be a detriment to your progress. It's a bit bipolar if you will. Remember this. The principals to gaining are few, but the methods are...

    Engineering vs Finance?

    As with anything the answer is, it depends. The truth is that you are making someone else rich. If you aren't married and don't have children, you have the opportunity to spend less and save more with the job you have now to put toward investments like real estate, starting your own business...

    Lower back pain from leg day

    Stop squatting (for now), and also don't try to substitute something like leg presses for squats as they will jam your lower lumbar spine up against an immoveable seatback and make it worse. Also, the 5k likely made it worse. Having trained over thirty years and trained athletes over 20 years...

    What is the best Fitness Exercise while traveling?

    IMO, it kind of depends on what your workout routine looks like when you are home. But then again, any workout is better than none. I'm a "garage gorilla" and prefer to lift heavy sh%t at home. To mix things up years ago I did bodyweight workouts and found that if done correctly you could get...

    Getting jacked/ripped would eliminate 85% of the problems on this forum..

    You are correct in that "large muscles" have little to do with health however muscle and their strength very much do have to do with health. I rarely take any diet and fitness advice from my doctor, whom is slightly overweight and had a total of 2 weeks instruction on nutrition in medical...

    Getting jacked/ripped would eliminate 85% of the problems on this forum..

    Yep, those are some of the variables. Also, a one on one fight can quickly turn into a 3 on 1 fight and so on. I've witnessed a bjj guy take down a dude and begin to sink a rear naked choke in only to have another dude come out of nowhere and punt his head like a football.

    Getting jacked/ripped would eliminate 85% of the problems on this forum..

    Streetfights just have too many variables. IMO the 150 lb blackbelt may have as good a shot as the 220 lb guy. Streetfights are always a little bit like rolling dice. Where problems arise is when the muscular guy over relies on his physical attributes or when the black belt over relies on his...
