No, it bothers me that I can't get away with it and would be fucked by the long arm of the law no matter how justified I am in self defense

OC, but true enough.
>>35694432
I like the quote by al-Ghazali but hate this picture.
Should I lift while going through alcohol withdrawal? Drank between 500ml and 1 liter of vodka everyday for almost a year and feel like absolute shit now on day 2 of no alcohol
>>35694186
Take some ativan
>>35694225
I don't have any benzos
>>35694186
Hell yeah you should. You'll make it bro, I've made it too.
Literally the hardest thing to find locally
Hold me
Very few places will carry them. They are too niche to be worth stocking for most places.
Though the Reebok stores with crossfit sections will stock their lifting shoes which are alright.
I have those, same color and everything. They're great.

I have a theory and am wondering if anyone else has tried it. This would obviously not be for gains, but for heavy cutting/weight loss.
What if someone had a 100% (or close to it) fat diet. For a few months, eat nothing but the purest fat you can find. Obviously supplement with some vitamins.
Your body -should- begin burning fat very efficiently. At this point switch to a low fat, low carb diet and eat mostly lean meat. Since your body is looking for fat to burn, it will burn your stored fat very quickly.
Im not a doctor just an honest thinker. Surely someone here has tried this? Success? Failure? or...?
I know a person who only ate butter for 2 weeks. Just water and straight up butter.
They did lose some weight, but this diet would obviously be unsustainable and possibly detrimental to health.
>>35693905
Op here, I agree. Maybe 3 months or less, and then switch to a healthy low fat diet.
>>35693835
There are essential amino acids that the body needs and cannot synthesize.
So protein is necessary.
Are you guys ready to bulk? Because the McChoco Potato is coming.

"Sample Diets
Read the above articles, and decide whether you need to bulk (add muscle), cut (lose fat), or maintain.
Calculate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) in calories
Bulking Diet:
Calories: TDEE + 500 calories
Protein: 1+ grams per lb. bodyweight
Cutting Diet:
Calories: TDEE - 500 calories
Protein: 1.5+ grams per lb. bodyweight
Maintenance:
Calories: TDEE
Protein: 1.25+ grams per lb. bodyweight
Adjust calories as needed based on your goals / results."

So I've been taking 800mg of ibuprofen after lifting. Is this bad?
There is some speculation (though nothing close to conclusive) that it can reduce the body's anabolic response to your training.
But it won't make a noticeable difference imo.
>>35693433
I think it's probably true but for a tiny % that makes no major difference. I was just wondering if it's bad for my liver or something to take 800mg on a regular basis.
>>35693478
Not for your liver that much like APAP but it can cause stomach ulcers or some shit with extended use. The pain relief is probably placebo anyway, you can just not take them and probably fare better anyway.
What muscles are the most important for strenght ? Fuck looking good only to get laid you need to have some power in ya
>>35693374
bumping cause interested aswell
Ass and legs
Biggest muscles in the body responsible for generating the most power. Theres a reason SS has a huge lower body focus
legs, glutes, back
