Cardio--a DJ's Tool

[exhausted]

This is an old thread. In the last three years, among hundreds of dates, I have two more tricks for a quick pre-date SMV ramp:

1) Eat 100 almonds daily (adjust according to lean mass and daily caloric intake). Lower your carb and saturated fat intake commensurate with the extra calories;

2) Do 10-15 set of heavy compound exercises (Squat, Deadlift, Bench) at least 36 hours before date (preferably a few hours pre-date.)

Here is the science behind it:

I had a series of blood tests drawn including/excluding 1 and 2 above:

1. The first set of blood tests were taken during periods where I didn't work out for one week or more with no/little almond intake;
2. The second set of blood tests were taken within 36 hours of doing 1 and 2 above.

Here were the results between the two sets of blood tests:

• Free Testosterone Levels (Not Total T) up 87% .
• Total Estrogen Levels down 56%
• SHBG (Sex-hormone binding globulin which binds with T rendering binded T ineffective) down 72%.

Huge physiological difference.

What the health physicians don't tell you among the myriad propaganda soliciting you to increase your total testosterone (T) is your Total T is irrelevant when it competes with other hormones for receptor sites. What matters is your Free T, lower levels of E (T/E ratio), and SHBG (to minimize T binding)--and correlatively--the amount of free T that will actually bind with androgen receptors. I theorize that with 1 and 2 above, the body up-regulates the androgen receptors allowing greater receptor concentration for T binding; and, consequentially, physiologically adjusts the remaining hormonal profile for proper utility.

The above services a perfect physiological profile, which manifests materially in your physicality and in your demeanor/attitude.

Real numbers. Try it.

What do you think about SARMS?

Bump, great thread

Cardio should never be the main focus of any exercise routine. It should be considered the cherry on top of the sundae.

Sleep and Nutrition is the ice cream.
Strength training are the toppings.
Cardio is the cherry on top.

Too many people try to make cardio the ice cream and end up with crappy to no results.

Disagree with this statement completely. “Main focus” is goal dependent. If someone likes playing a sport such as soccer, or just enjoys running or biking in nature, who is to say cardio should not be a main focus?

Well...I suppose I should have worded it better.

Obviously if they are doing things related to having high cardio output they will need to train for that.

I'm speaking from a standpoint of someone looking to get in good shape in terms of looking their best.

Prison navy seal burpees will get you shredded
Real solid cardio
Weights should be the focus though

Most people would get better results if they are looking to build muscle while getting lean from simply walking.

Prevents mixing two opposing energy systems and opposing hormones in the body.

Workout and walk your way to 10% BF while preserving as much muscle as possible.

You are aiming at something. Even incline walking the treadmill at a steady pace for 30min-40min will do wonders.
You don’t want to fry your CNS with very intensive cardio either like you say.
there has been workout streaks where I felt like sh1t with stress/anxiety off the rails compared to not working out at all because I was overtraining very bad.

Been doing boxing cardio + basketball for years..def has helped in many ways..

Might start up my fitness journal again.

i never had complains because i last 1-2 hours, or more. yes, they usually cvm in the 1st 20 minutes of fcking, but it's fun giving them more in a row, and it is fun giving myself more in a row, so overall i like the way i do it. and i never consider it a marathon mentality, it just happens. we both like it even afterwards, then why stop?

it's just how i see it.

How the hell can i achieve that?
