Good habits and supplemental activities /fit/izen 08/20/2023 (Sun) 09:11:22 Id: 4890ed No. 147
Discuss things that aren't workouts or exercise per se, but help you to improve your performance as well as maintain /fit/ness and motivation. For example: >meditation >wim hof method >supplements >prayer >onions >nofap >abstinence in general >study and inspirational reading Things to not discuss: <roids, drugs and other gay shit Personally I stopped using warm water in my showers, all my showers have been 100% cold for the last 3 months. I've had a huge uptick in energy levels since I started doing this, and I also feel more solid, like my body has become more dense. The reason I decided to do this is related to an observation I made a few years ago. I was visiting family and had my cat with me, and even though it was the beginning of winter, he had to stay in a shed outside because of their dog. Now, he was normally 7.5 pounds, but after a few weeks in that shed, he was 14 pounds. The reason I weighed him was because he was noticeably bigger, and suddenly had muscle definition, it blew my mind that he just about doubled his weight. Interestingly, he went right back to his old weight after he started living inside again. It reminded me of something called "Bergmann’s rule" which is basically an observation that species adapted to cold environments tend to be bigger. Anyway, a couple years later I learned about Wim Hof, which really activated my almonds about a few things, not least of which was my cat turning into a chad in the cold. It might be worth noting that he was unfixed. I think if I keep my cold showers up over the winter I'll see some real progress. Otherwise, I'm on day 7 nofap (29 days is my personal best), and today is day one of a 7 day "mind fast". I won't be playing any games, watching TV, reading anything other than the Bible, or using the internet (with the exception of /fit/, my email and 4 astrology sites, I've already got my tabs up and they won't be changing them for that time). I'm just going to focus on training and meditation. What are you doing to improve yourself /fit/?
>>147 Mostly I just try to get a good night's sleep and make time to recharge after a long week. Mental fatigue can be as killer as physical. Onions and meditation definitely help, though. No evidence for Wim Hof working and ice baths and stuff seem like a meme. But I actually think ejaculation in moderation is healthy. Staying pent up is going to give you prostate cancer.
>>150 >No evidence for Wim Hof working I don't know about not working, but when I do it I get very warm. So it's quite handy if it's cold.
