What diet and exercise for gaining muscle?

Food alone will not necessarily help you build muscle.

You need to work your muscles to promote growth of the fibres.

Carbohydrates and fiber are essential for proper gut health and neglecting these in favour of protein may lead to constipation and other gut issues.

It sounds like you have enough healthy fats and proteins, now you may like to introduce some carbs and fibrous products such as fruits to your diet.

Oxygen in your blood comes from healthy red blood cell production which is actually stimulated by mild hypoxia.. As is achieved at the height of an intense cardio workout or training in thin air.. H2O2 will provide a temporary oxygen high at best as it has no erythropoietic properties.

Liquid chlorophyll can also help in having more oxygen.

Liquid chlorophyll is a source of iron which helps red blood cells carry oxygen which is why it has this benefit.

Stormblood you know as a spiritual satanist we already do a lot in a day, to me what I do It take like 3-4 hours and the rest of the day I have things to do, what do you think? Is there something for someone like me that have little to no time? Or is impossible? I can take 15 minutes in a day but an hour is really too long for now.. :(
then keep doing hatha yoga and kundalini yoga, I think they are the best for everything, use callisthenics if you want to achieve the strength yoga doesn't give you if you feel like needing it.

I'm not qualified for teaching physical training. What I share is my experience and what personal studies have led me to. Consider this when you read my contributions.

That being said, I stand with Aquarius's advice: keep doing yoga and Falun Dafa, if you that (it's marvellous). Take in mind that Mr Sommer's programmes (Gymnastic Bodies) take little time if properly paced during the week but they're not for everyone. Past a certain level, they become pretty difficult. Hence why the instructor puts a lot of emphasis on mastering the previous levels and even more emphasis on the mobility exercises associated with the movements you get to learn.

I suggest you read Building the Gymnastic Body by Christopher Sommer and Overcoming Gravity by someone else if you want to learn how to craft your own routine and about levers and progressions, so you never need to buy any extra weight (or a subscription to the gym) to keep improving.

This short book also opens your mind to another way of training: isometrics. https://www.docdroid.net/0J3S10z/shaolinisometrics.pdf
 
Convict conditioning, CrossFit, and the seal program are the best iv seen as far as overall fitness programs. Really, all you need is a pull-up area, and a waight vest and 2 chairs. You can get in about any shape you want with just that. As long as you really focus on progressive overload, any of these programs will give results. CrossFit is perfect for gaining size while building functionality as well. As a fighter, CrossFit style workouts improved about every level of fitness for me and others. Iv never tried tacfit, but that's definitely next.

A weighted vest can really harm someone, especially if someone doesn't know what they are doing, prolonged exercise with a weighted vest can also be very damaging to one's body / joints. So only use a weighted vest when you are 100% certain that you can handle this.

Personally i love calisthenics, the only thing you need is your own body weight, you can get a good amount of muscle growth doing this. You will also greatly improve your coordination, and mobility. So if you or anyone else is interested i highly recommend checking Calisthenics out

I disagree. They are not complete programmes by any means. Like I expressed in a recent post, people tend to focus excessively on shape and strength. But physical development has a wealth of other parameters that the programmes you mentioned do not cover. These parameters matter a lot as well. Not to mention, these programmes are more limited than other options for strength development, as building size limits your strength and power potential, not to mention changes from these programmes are only SEMI-transferable to real life, whereas there are athletic opportunities which offer great development and greater transfer. For example, they work with max 3 times your bodyweight, whereas there are training systems that use much more than that without issue. Weights can never fill that gap.

SSinHeartandSoul also mentions many important concerns. His "especially if someone doesn't know what they are doing" applies to 99.9% of those who use weighted vests and similar training system, as they haven't strengthened their joints through tendon nei kung, yijin jing and similar practices.

The lower back is another weak point that most people do not give enough attention. How many people arch their backs while doing basic exercises? This is a key sign that their lower back is under developed, putting a weighted vest on will harm the backs and thus the entire posture of most people.

By the way can you share the link to the post you made? i'm interested to see what your point of view is on this subject.

I suppose it depends on the knowledge of the person. Myself and those iv trained have not had any issues due to a vest or style. Any injury comes from a lack of body awareness, such as arching or simply doing to much too fast. Myself and many others have actually gained much more functionality than from previous approaches. I do understand what you mean, but it's also your opinion. Nothing negative has happened to me or anyone I know doing this. Different strokes for different folks.

Regardless of what you claim, you still need basic flexibility and also mobility, which are important both in life and spiritual development. A starting flexibility level for spiritual development is having these sorted how: full pancake, full pike, full splits (front and middle), full thoracic bridge (also called chakrasana in yoga), full squat, a 10/10 handstand. As for mobility, that is more difficult to set a starting level for humans as opposed to demihumans. What is certain is that conventional training disciplines do not give any human starting level of mobility, only subhuman.

If you want to go there you can just as well say that the core is under developed. Its mainly the lowerback that is under developed tough, a lot of people arch their backs because they think exercises are supposed to be done like that, or because they want to have a bigger ass or whatever.
 
Before people go to either excessive diets or exercise programs, make sure you aren't neglecting your Mars energies. You can spend 3 hours in the gym and 2 extra hours dieting, or spend 1 on each and include workings for your Mars, and have better results. Uruz and Thurisaz could also be used, as well as Sun energies and Sowilo.

Greetings! I'm a bit late, but I've seen several posts of yours where you mention the demihuman and human levels. What would be the physical capacities of an authentic human? It's only that you mentioned in another thread, and I realized that Health and Sport have also been corrupted. Not having knowledge of how they were done in the Golden Age, before that I thought it was the best it can go.
 
I wanted to ask this question for some time but didn't know where. What's recommended to eat for breakfast and dinner? I am at a loss of ideas, so I ended up with sandwiches. My weight is normal but I think it's not healthy to just eat bread with meat and cheese 2 times a day everyday.

It's well-rounded athleticism. Some of the abilities are displayed by Olympic gymnasts, people in parkour and others. I would say they reach peak demihuman stages up to low-level human levels. Fast Olympic runners and swimmers get there from the speed side. Unfortunately, there aren't many example nowadays. As the majority moves into having risen kundalinis and the elixirs circulating 24/7, we'll start seeing what humans are actually capable of.

In general, professional/elite athletes have much cleaner and stronger auras and chakras, so they get closer to that. You'll have to ask the Gods to show you, if you want to know more.

Stormblood has very good ideas on this i like to read them, i agree with him ostly but he thinks outside the books so always look for new posts.

Respect.

Word.

I kept doing a few major Mars- and Sun-related workings for health and fitness in a span of a year. The result is interesting. I made as many gains as when I just started out (noob gains) since I began cycling and reached an elite level of aerobic capacity, power output, and power-to-weight ratio, with less overall time spent training I have done so far.

At the moment it feels like I have capped my capabilities, and I need to incorporate more workings and other useful methods to raise further.

I liked this book for learning the basics on nutrition for muscle.
 
This link covers the following topics:

- Proven, effective exercise routines
- Diet
- How to lose weight
- How to gain weight
- Supplements


Diet & Body Re-composition
Initial Body Fat and Body Composition Changes
General Philosophies of Muscle Mass Gain

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.

Mobility, Stretching, and Self-Massage Resources:
Yoga for athletes: Yoga can be done anywhere without any equipment and is excellent for building flexibility.
Mayo Clinic basic stretching guide
Athlete's guide to foam rolling
Make your own foam roller
 
No, it doesn't. Many false claims about weightlifting and no unbiased exploration of the risk and negative effects associated to it.

Using weight-lifting as a blanket suggestion for any body recomposition needs is retarded. There are many ways to do that.

Weightlifting also doesn't allow overall physical growth and muscle development like claimed. There are many aspects of human physical skills that weight-lifting cannot cater too.

I see I see. If you have something better feel free to post it. Guide worked for me personally, but anyone else who comes across this thread should see something more useful I agree.

I don't know if you found your solution in the past 2 years or so.

What to eat for breakfast varies from individual to individual but there are 3 broad categories that you can take inspirations from.

If you are like me, a lot of carbs in the morning give you brain fog and makes you drowsy. Especially things like bread and cereals. Here's 3 quick options:

1. 3 eggs with pancetta, cheese and parsley. Takes 5-10 minutes at most to make and it's mostly fat and protein.

2. Salmon with cottage cheese.

3. Greek yogurt with either almonds or walnuts. Real Greek yogurt. So not "greek-style" and no 0%/5% fat, as they are very processed (aka unhealthy), not to mention mostly useless.

I've had #1 and #3 for a long time, and it was great.

If you fall into other categories, I will post something later.

Thank you for the suggestions, looking forward to your post for even more ideas. I may have a slight lactose intolerance, I've noticed getting foggy / stomach problems after most cheese and milk, although there are certain types that I enjoy and don't make me feel bad.
 
bodybuilding is great for gaining muscle. I personally do it and I have seen improvements. Combined with a keto diet is great for maintaining an aesthetical and muscular body.
 
The person who made this topic must have been banned or deleted. I didn't make it, and even my original reply is gone.
There's a dozen replies at the top of this thread that were auto-deleted in the move. Would you like them restored? You talk about your personal diet in your first one. I can't see the original post as it was probably someone who was banned and it is permanently deleted.

I don't think any of this topic is necessary anymore. The subject has been talked about a lot more in other posts.
 
Get the topic flowing again my bro

:cool:

Been off grid for a bit, hope you are doing good my friend.
I just mean these same health topics have been discussed much more in more recent posts throughout the years. People like Stormblood have shared great information here, but also in many more recent topics.

So this older post is not necessary, because we have so many other newer posts with great replies.
