@brenn Yes, but increasing your grip strength doesn't increase your lifespan.

@brenn My friend, the only "Peaty" job is a job you love.

My friend, it's simple:

Make sure you're eating enough calories throughout the day.
Have a big breakfast.
Add a glass of milk and 2-3 pieces of fruit on top of your regular meals.
Avoid seed oils.

These are simple things you can start doing today.

Good luck.

Friends, I've been lifting for 10 years, roughly speaking.

Began with 5x5 starting strength, moved to ICF, then Madcows, and eventually finishing my 4/3/2 with Greyskulls.

I spent a good chunk of my time in between doing meme workouts.

Nowadays, I don't care much about lifting and only go in x2 a week. That's enough for everyone once you've built your foundation.

Good luck.

@Sugar Dear Sugar, I'm simply not perpetually aroused. My releases are powerful enough to sustain my body and spirit. Estrogen shifts you over to a state of mild excitation; not good!

@rosenstein then yes, you can indeed activate the autonomic nervous system, but I don't see how it's related to the Law of Attraction.

In fact, the Law of Attraction is a misnomer taken from the theosophical book, The Kybalion, that syncretically combinee Daoist and Hermetic cosmology.

If you want an alternative, read the work of Osman-Spare, as well as Peter Carroll; the use of sigils to invert the direction of cause and effect in the dimension of the conscious-unconscious is a well-known magical technique, and for most people, it can be successful enough to prove the famous adage, "as above so below"

Good luck and be careful what you wish for.

My friend, there's really no intellectual argument that would prove the existence of God, since by definition God surpasses reason. Instead, we can only find crumbs of evidence scattered within and with-out us.

I, for one, seek to destroy my faith, by the doings of hammer or fire, and from that destruction raise an unshakable knowing that permeates my perception, reality, and being for it is only the mystical experience that can reveal the mystery, or the direct connection with spirit that can instill in me the divine spark, not some theological argument that relies on internally consistent models and concepts.

@rosenstein My Jewish friend, what do you mean by ANS?

Autonomic nervous system?

My friend, ask yourself or rather, feel yourself, whether you're mastutbating because of a) mental tension b) fear c) boredom d) genuine desire to connect.

In my estimation, if you're young and virile, having sex 1-2 times a week is enough. Too little? Too much? Try going a week without instagram, twitter, media, movies, TV shows. See how your sexual appetite adapts. Maybe you need more, maybe you need less. Be natural.

@skylark Both studies report just reduction, and one study in pubescent boys, which is an entirely different predicament. I'm aware of these solutions but presence of gynecomastia beyond 2-3 years, well after puberty, means fibrotic tissue, hence why I'm saying removal.

Talk to doctors, patients, and people who've had gynecomastia for years. Look into the literature. It's NOT an easy solution and complete reduction is unheard of BECAUSE the tissue has become metabolically inert, for the most part.

More plates more dates talks extensively about it and his conclusions are similar to mine.

Good luck.
