I don't think he looks much worse. Also, one video is taken with a crappy laptop webcam or a smartphone camera which masks and softens facial features while the other video is taken with a high quality camera.

I don’t know much about mold, but I would say:
keep your bathroom as dry as possible, 30-50% humidity level. Avoid hot showers to avoid steaming up the room, but regardless, you could remove the moisture from the walls after the steam has settled. Get a mold resist shower curtain, because mold can also grow on shower curtains. Regularly paint the ceiling with anti mold paint, if you have tiles on the walls, seal the grout lines every 6 months. Use a hepa air purifier. If you don’t have an exhaust, keep the door open after showers. Shower in the gym or somewhere else if possible.

@Ecstatic_Hamster That’s a good point. I forgot to say that you should only keep the alum directly on the canker sore for about 30 seconds. I’m not sure how much aluminum might be absorbed in that short time.

Canker sores are so annoying. I used to get multiple every week. It's been months since I got one, so I'll share my knowledge with you.

Canker sores can have multiple causes: Low immunity, bacteria, viruses, lesions and irritation.

First of all, make sure you follow a proper oral hygiene routine to prevent bacteria from proliferating and creating canker sores.

My oral routine before bed is:

1. Floss teeth
2. Scrape tongue
3. Brush teeth
4. Brush tongue
5. Scrape tongue again
6. Mouth rinse

If you use commercial toothpaste, make sure to avoid those with Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS); and if you use commercial mouthwash, avoid those with alcohol and peg-40. These will irritate the tissues in your mouth and give you canker sores.

Mouth breathing can dry out the oral tissues, which reduces saliva production. Saliva helps protect the mouth from bacteria and irritation. Do mewing and sleep with mouth tape to fix this.

Acidic foods can also irritate your mouth, but I don't think ditching acidic foods is the answer. Just rinse your mouth with water after eating lots of acidic foods. As long as the acid doesn't remain in your mouth, you should be fine. If you are overly sensitive to acidic foods, you probably have an immunity problem.

Make sure you are not deficient in B vitamins, especially B12 and B9. Get lots of sunlight.

To heal canker sores:

• Rinse your mouth with a warm saline solution for 1 minute multiple times throughout the day.
• Apply alum powder directly on the canker sore. Let it sit for 30 seconds to one minute, then rinse your mouth with water and spit it out. Alum has astringent properties that will promote healing and will dry out the sore. Canker sores will feel numb for 3-4 hours, and the pain will be almost gone in one or two days.
• L-Lysine supplementation heals canker sores if they were caused by viral infections.

That's all as far as healing goes. Alum is a total game changer. Give it a try!

@cs3000 @GreekDemiGod Regarding testicular damage, couldn't you just use an infrared sauna and shield your balls with aluminum foil?

Exercises that I love and never see anybody do at the gym:

Here is my list:

1. Skin the cat
   https://youtu.be/QHnpUcVwZOk?si=jAF97PWS2QzaX_8H
   One of the best calisthenic exercises, amazing for shoulder mobility and strength. When holding the bottom position (aka German Hang), it will stretch your shoulders, chest, back and biceps; it feels incredibly relieving.

2. Zercher Squats
   https://www.youtube.com/shorts/i5jOlUpm64c
   Try them if you are a tall person. I have never felt more comfortable doing weighted squats than with this variation. It biases the weight more to the front, which in my opinion is better because getting good at this exercise will carry over to more common strength movements, especially in martial arts.

3. Zottman Curls
   https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fMMv0LfzYMk
   It's simply a bicep curl where you pronate your grip before the eccentric phase. For some reason, it feels much smoother and comfortable in my elbows to do it this way. Definitely try them if you have elbow pain.

4. Neck exercises
   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtKdTeMZx5E&t=388s
   To be honest, it's the most overlooked muscle group, but training your neck has a very good ROI for what it takes. If you don't regularly train your neck, start doing it during the rest between your sets. Having a strong neck not only makes you look like a Chad, it could save your life in a fight or car accident.

5. Handstands
   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRmZu6UdPCk
   You need to do handstands more often. You need to do handstands with different variations. You need to do more calisthenic movements if you aren't already. Calisthenics is peaty.

6. RTO dips and pushups
   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4PClV2vYvQ
   If you have never tried this, this probably doesn't look that difficult to you. But trust me, it's one of the hardest push up and dip variations to exist. It puts a massive amount of tension in your biceps.

@GreekDemiGod My guess is that getting excess sugar and caffeine is no good if all you do is sit around on your computer

@LucH Please do! How would you make a homemade energy drink?

RedBull is probably the best energy drink that is widely available.

I'm still trying to find a good energy drink that has real sugar and not a bunch of artificial sweeteners or high fructose corn syrup, like Monster. Nearly all energy drinks sold nowadays are sugar-free.

There are many types of sauna, which is the most beneficial in your opinion?

• Traditional sauna (low humidity)
• Steam sauna
• Infrared sauna
• Far infrared sauna

Maybe I'm too young, but I don't ever recall the sun having a different color in the past, under the same weather conditions and solar elevation angle.

Magnesium citrate is quite laxative… I personally feel good with magnesium glycinate.

Magnesium chloride can be mixed with water and applied topically.

I would like to know which magnesium form is ideal to mix with salt and potassium chloride, I’m trying to make a homemade electrolyte mix…

If you are a Spanish citizen and you are hypothyroid, depressed, or have ADHD, you won’t be allowed to obtain or renew a driver’s license. Starting from 2025, a medical examination will be one of the mandatory requirements to obtain a driver’s license.

The DGT (Directorate-General for Traffic) recently provided a summary list of 35 conditions that limit or prevent the issuance/renewal of a driver's license. These are:

• Transient ischemic attack.
• Alzheimer's disease.
• Large vessel aneurysm.
• Sleep apnea.
• Arrhythmias.
• Seizures or loss of consciousness.
• Dementia or anxiety disorder.
• Depression.
• Automatic defibrillator.
• Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
• Oncological diseases.
• Heart diseases.
• Degenerative, neurological, and chronic diseases.
• Digestive diseases.
• Dissection.
• Endocrine diseases.
• Neurological diseases.
• Oncological diseases.
• Respiratory diseases.
• Epilepsy.
• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
• Hypothyroidism and parathyroid disorders.
• Acute myocardial infarction.
• Pacemaker.
• Nephropathy with dialysis.
• Parkinson's disease.

• Valve prostheses.
• Kidney transplant.
• Personality disorder.
• Intellectual development disorder.
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder.

• Oncohematological disorders.

The goal is to make roads more safe, promote the use of public transport and reduce CO2 emissions.

@Cezar4911 Gelatinous broth with salt, pepper and olive oil.

@Snow It’s incredibly gelatinous, the result has the hardness and consistency of gummy bears, so it’s very high in collagen content. Cow’s feet are also great for these broths, it’s all basically connective tissue.
So far I’ve only tried beef and lamb feet broth, but I want to try other options, such as beef tripe/tendon broth, or chicken feet, pig feet and ears…

How I do the recipe is as follows:

• Fill a pressure cooker with collagen rich animal parts
• Cover with water
• Close and cook between 2 and 4 hours
• Separate all the connective tissue from the bones, discard the bones
• Blend the connective tissue with the broth
• Strain the broth
• Separate into different containers and freeze them so that it can last you for months.

I like to drink my broth with olive oil, salt and pepper. The taste is incredibly delicious. I like the taste of lamb feet broth a bit better.

The recipe is inspired by @CO3 ’s “master broth”.

While I don’t know exactly how much gelatin it has per cup or 100g, I believe it’s a good amount. I want to do a test where I measure the amount of gelatin in the broth by comparing the viscosity from gummies made with gelatin powder and gelatinous broth made with animal parts.

What I ate today:

• Warm milk with honey, collagen and creatine.
• Italian green beans with potatoes and carrots
• Roasted sardines
• Orange juice and watermelon
• Lamb feet broth
