Book on yoga for daily fitness type information, from diet to basic exercises. Most yoga books I find here are pretty shit or written for people, who only want to look cool and will never implement it.

Slowly fixing all my join tissues. Back pain was caused, at least the main cause, was a shortened hamstring. Shoulders improving with deadhangs and rotator cuff excercises, going to grow the rest of the shoulder to hopefully fix it completely. Pullups, pushups and abs everyday give good results damn.

Sciatica in my left leg. Sucks, but going to address it as best I can. Ethic is better than it has been perhaps ever.

Cutting on calories is hard. Trying to switch to one meal a day is even harder. >>7058 Bump if anyone has any recommendation >>7428 >>7761 What does your blood work say ?

>>6039 I'm actually surprised that Mongolian were able to make sane decisions based on pure meat diet. I think they prolly use high fat meat as low bf can really fuck your mood and Brain function. Pure grain diets are also shit, no protein no development same fucked up brain and health + weaker muscles. So it was a fight between protein deficient vs poor brain + low energy (meat only has 10% of energy plants have) and ofcourse one with little better Stat won. (I don't think any of them gonna live past 40)

>>7058 Try finding recommended book for Masters or phD students in either 1.Physical Education 2. Indian Knowledge System

any intermediate/advanced boxers lurk on this board? I have started out with boxing, but my stamina is absolutely dogshit, to the point where I can't even run for more than a minute without my legs burning apart. My strength is atrocious as well, and I can barely do 5 pushups How do i go about improving?

>>7803 Do more pushups and run more? Greasing the groove works well for pushups. Do 4 or so as often as you can throughout the day and you'll get much better at doing them. Running is a pain in the ass and I've been injured for awhile, but consistently running is the key. There are no shortcuts.

>>7803 just do it more Running stamina you want to set a time goal, you can take walk breaks. Increase your time gradually. This is what c25k is, which you can do. It worked for me, went from running barely 2km to 5km though not quite in 30 mins Pushups just do them more to do them more I want to pick up boxing again but I don't have enough (((time))), you are lucky, do not let go of it like i did

>>7769 My math teacher told my class about this in 12th. I did not believe him, but a smart friend got into bodybuilding and cut fat and carbs entirely from his diet. I saw his IQ drop in real time and he became a real dumb with very nice muscles. Now people are smarter and consume some fat, but the risk is real. Similar to how pianists don't box for the risk of injuring their fingers, people involved in professions needing brain power, should not try extreme weight cuts or fat loss beyond 12%

Working out a lot more now. Ageing is a bitch anons. Seriously , get fit. You will really regret it. Sprained my upper spine neck somehow, hurts and limited mobility is a bitch.

If you have at least 2 of the following , then you are sick and should quit your phone/internet. - Sleep deprivation - Social deprivation - Attention fragmentation - Addiction or addictive behaviour

fatties and skinnytards now tell me i have a great body not sure if this is a mire or not kek i have a long way to go regardless

>>8079 true but there is no point if you can't find a group of people you can call friends irl (i can't)

>>8122 It is tough to make friends. Depends on your age too. After 30 it takes high level skills to make new friends.

I thought discipline was conditioning myself to work through pain but I realized I don't care about pain because at least pain is something to experience. Real discipline is working through boredom and knowing you will never see the result of your work.

>>8199 This is based post. It is not universally applicable but it gets the spirit right.

Got my blood tested a few days ago, apparently I have too much ldl cholestrol by about 20% same with non-hdl cholesterol. I don't know why this is. I don't eat fried foods too much, when cooking at home i use butter and ghee exclusively. Also low vitamin B and vit D. Reference ranges differ depending on whom you ask but internet says i have normal levels while patho lab reference range says i have insufficient.

>>8368 Track your diet yaro. Already from ghee and butter its sounds like that might be the cause. Sadly Indians are cursed with these genes.

>>8368 Also vit D seems to be very important for Indians anecdotally.

>>8368 do ever felt any symptoms that are related to these deficiencies?

>>8372 i do felt low energy and tired a few days ago. I attributed this to overworking. As of yet I have not revoked this attribution because my energy became a little more normal with work levels going down at around the same time i started supplementing. As I said the vitamin levels are normal if you consult different reference ranges. I am not deficient, the report has different classes for "deficient" and "insufficient". My levels are "insufficient" >>8370 And everyone is going to be deficient in it, all office workers >>8369 What are some fats that won't increase ldl I do need to cook my food in fats, if only a little.

Did a small 30 km trek, but in hills and through -0 temps and stayed overnight in a small tent. We made it but barely so. Dome body parts def got cold exposure. Also the train tide back, sick white guy sat next to me and gave Mr his infection. Exercising in winter is painful for sure. But the results are good. On sick leave right now and the infections on full blown bodybache and fever.

>>8373 "And everyone is going to be deficient in it, all office workers" I don't remember the data set, but yes, most urban Indians are Vit deficient. Not just B and D either. "What are some fats that won't increase ldl I do need to cook my food in fats, if only a little." Very hard not to launch into para longs lectures on this. But short version Avoid all seed oils, including fried food outside like chole bhature, samosa's etc. Sunflower oil, Canola oil etc are poison. Use natural oils like ghee (good ghee, not dalda mixed bs) , coconut oil, mustard oil etc. Good butter is good too. Good oils are also important for Indian food to taste good, as well as dissolve the spices. If you eat meat, use some of the natural animal fat in your cooking too. >>8368 What did your Dr use as a baseline for Cholestrol ? Do ask him that. Your Cholestrol base levels depend on your caste, your families health background etc. Indian Dr's use American or European values on Indian customers. I have a baniya friend, who has 400 times the "healthy dose" of cholesterol and is still one of the fittest people I know and eats like an elephant. Maybe if he dies of a heart attack, it will be proven wrong. But most people in his family lived long lives. Also, Lack of sleep Stress Dehydration Other Vit deficiences Are all important causes. >>8369 Tracking your diet is always good. But ghee and butter are good for you, assuming you are eating real ghee and butter. Most people are just eating versions of dalda/sunflower oil

Leg is getting much better, honestly think I will be pain free in like a month. >>8376 Both ghee and butter can fuck your cholesterol. Managing bodyweight is prob the most important thing you can do for your health. >>8373

>>8389 Also started upping my carbs and the difference is crazy. Potatoes, lentils, basmati and oatmeal.

>>8389 I get my blood done every month now. The issue is not butter or ghee but saturated fats. If your butter or ghee have saturated fats, then it is not the real thing and you should change. but natrual oils, like Coconut (aromatic but heavy on digestion), peanut(neutral but expensive), mustard (heat producing and aromatic), etc are all good. You just need to learn to use each one. >>8390 Natural carbs like sweet potato are good. In rice, wild rice varieties are excellent. Basmati is high in glaucomic index but excellent when used in limited quantity. > Leg Recovery is a bitch and can get depressing.

>>8376 >Avoid all seed oils, including fried food outside like chole bhature, samosa's etc. Sunflower oil, Canola oil etc are poison. > >Use natural oils like ghee (good ghee, not dalda mixed bs) , coconut oil, mustard oil etc. Good butter is good too. >But ghee and butter are good This is what I have heard too which is why I started using ghee and butter. But I could not find a conclusive study which said so... > did your Dr use as a baseline for Cholestrol ? Do ask him that. I didn't consult yet. I'm tired and going to hospitals and doctors feels more demeaning than what a stripper must feel when stripping for the first time. Well no the real reason is that doctors don't like it if you do tests yourself without them prescribing it. Or maybe they question the accuracy and legitimacy of the reports. Their solution is often, "stop testing then." (true story) But yes someday i will have to go.

>>8404 The study he sites is bullshit from the 70s and has been disproven by basically all modern science. Saturated and trans fats elevate cholesterol, specifically LDL. LDL leads to heart disease. Studies showing no change rely on people with already horrible cholesterol consuming the same amount of cholesterol they normally eat which shows no change in cholesterol because they didn't change anything.

>>8406 A sidenote, but all hustlers follow the same framework now. Cite an outdated and flawed study, claim it was repressed despite being largely bullshit, ignore all modern research, claim science is on your side. Diet is the most prevalent but I see the same garbage for workouts and the alpha male circlejerk.

>>8406 >>8402 >>8407 My brain is still fried so if something is dumb , let me know. My own belief is saturated fats are bad. BUT 1. The issue with studies are many. From bad setup and loaded questions, to inferring statistical randomness as a result. 2. Nutrition response has lot of variation. To know about it, one needs to attach a continuous glucose monitor and see what spikes your insulin response. Different people respond to different foods, very very differently. 3. Even if you have a big research result, the individual variations mean that you cannot apply this result to yourself. Some generalized things though 1. If you are not healthy and you have a lot of saturated fats, then they are bad for you. 2. If you are fit and burn the calories you consume, have good genetics, then there is evidence that you burn off saturated fats. Normally I do literature search , but this time I preferred to ask an ex colleague, who is also an ex Tour De France cyclist. He watches his weight to within 50 grams and is obsessed with having the right weight to muscle ration. Most of these points we both discussed together. I am on the other hand of the spectrum. Terrible genetics, unhealthy lifestyle so changes take lot of time to reflect for me. Changing to healthy oils, eliminating breads, pasta , maida and Sugar helped me a lot.

>>8407 Nutrition and exercise field is filled with this. I don't follow online influencers at all. But Peter Attia has been consistently good.

Should I drink my own pee? I don't know if it is based, or in fact, cringe.

>>8422 Drink it while it's salty. Immediately stop if it starts getting bitter.

>>8422 Do not drink it. Think about it. It's a waste product. Your body uses water to dilute the waste and "excess" nutrients from your body. Don't fall for trolls. Or drink it cuz meh you're an adult.
