fasting for a year now

I've been on it for 4 and a half months. The only bad thing is sometimes you get really sleepy at the worst times, like right in the middle of work. I used to plan my meals so I could eat from 12pm to 7pm, but since I changed turns (I work 4am - 12pm now), I had to accomodate for it, or I would be sleepy the whole time.
Sometimes I get stomach cramps. Like, 2 or 3 times in those 4 months.

I'm slightly less fat than pic related but very similar. I got told I should cut, should I still do SS or SL like the sticky says for beginners while cutting? What kind of cardio should I throw in if any?
Also my manboobs are very similar to those, would you say that's gyno or will they get smaller if I cut?
I want them to go away but I also wanna get bigger, I'm scared I'll just cut down and bulk up and they'll be just as big.

Yes.
Stop asking those other questions. It doesn't matter.
Lift and cut till you're not as fat. Lean bulk and look at your own body retard. It'll take months of work, you should have started 5 years ago.
>>
>>40648235
I'm worried about the gyno thing though. I don't wanna cut and get skinny and still have tits. I feel like if I'm gonna have gyno I might as well just be big and fat and strong
>>
>>40648345
Cut and find out you fucking retard. You'll get noob gains in the mean time. Stop making excuses you haven't even fucking started.

So I got married last year, and while I've continued powerlifting, my diet has been out of control, and I'm fatter than bear mode.
Been having constant headaches, so I measured my blood pressure. It's extremely high. I'm starting an extremely strict diet today, 1600kcals daily til I'm down to the 190's.
What should I know about controlling blood pressure other than getting less fat? I've heard low sodium intake can help. What else?
Also, general overall health general.

cardio
also your bloodpressure is so fucking high you should see a doctor asap and get some meds
>>
>>40646463
I'm only 25, do you think I really need to get a doctor involved before I make a real attempt to lower it myself?
Good call on the cardio. Looks like time for 30 second rest periods, heavy bag work, and stair sprints.

>>40646484
Not him but as a CNA if I saw190 systolic bp may not be rush to ER bad, but I'd tell my charge nurse immediately and she'd most likely give meds promptly. Yeah if you got insurance or won't break the bank go see a doctor
if i can bench 100 kg for 6 reps, shoudln't i be able to bench 200 kg for 3 reps?

It has been a fascinating experience to teach myself how to brush my teeth with my left hand. After 12 days, I can pin myself at about 90% fluency + naturalness compared to natural right-handed toothbrushing.
I started off fumbling around with very uncomfortable brushing motions that weren't doing much benefit to my teeth, and trying to get the right rapid-fire pattern of tightly controlled activation in my shoulders and elbows. Eventually I was able to recognize some of the inefficiencies in my motor pattern and mirror some of the nuances I noticed in the large-scale motor pattern in my right hand, such as the shape of my grip on brush, the pivot point of the pressure on the brush, the coordinated movement of my head to accommodate the brush on various rows of teeth, the subtle motion I would use to flip from the inside to the outside of teeth, and a sweeping motion I'd use to move between left, center, and right. Eventually this became quite natural, and now I feel like the whole hand/arm/upper body/head motor complex for this movement has been sufficiently "programmed" such that refinements would only come from further repetition to myelinate motor neuron pathways and calibrate connections in the cerebellum.
I highly recommend teaching yourself skills with the other hand, other foot, new skills, or what have you, in order to keep your brain fresh and young, and to always be in the mindset of installing new brain circuitry (increased neuroplasticity can't hurt either). These are quite literally cognitive programs we can download into our OS and run!

(cont...)
If we assume there's something to the left-brain/right-brain hypothesis (left brain more creative, right brain more logical/systematic), and with the knowledge that each brain hemisphere operates the opposite half of the body, does teaching the other side of your brain new tricks allow you to develop a new level of coordination of that aspect of your brain's abilities? For example, if you are a righty, teaching your left hand new movements might coordinate the more creative side of your brain (right side) such that creative thoughts and coordinated cognition are more fluid and controlled; a lefty teaching their right hand new movements might allow for a more controlled systematic scientific thought process to develop. This would all be occurring through enhanced connection between motor control circuits and cognitive control circuits, and would need to be occurring in order for motor skill development (as we are discussing here) to have an effect on cognitive control or on cognition at all. Maybe this even more tightly links up bilateral control in the cerebellum for coordinated communication between hemispheres and their driving of movements (along with the relationship between bodily movement and coordination of thought)? Pure speculation, but a cool thought I just had on all this and the potential here.
