what if it went onto my chest and back workout?
Depends on your split
But it would make it be unbalanced

with legs, i know some people isn't optimistic with leg press but can it be bragged?

Leg press is okay, but it's not smth to brag about weight
It's more of a hypertrophy exercise

Could be placebo or u you were eating too much protein perhaps, but I’m not a doctor so I might be wrong

I do eat a lot of protein. But also my body just handles vegetables better and humans weren't really designed to eat meat that being said I do enjoy a good steak or slab of fish.

I think my favorite meat products are like
Chicken thigh and pepperoni/salami
But I'd rather not eat meat in general
Worst thing for my body has been dairy
Meat is about on par with junk food I think
About 2/3 of all humans can't digest it, the remaining 1/3 having a genetic mutation that allows them to
Some people say they just force their body to digest it, I don't buy that, they probably just have the mutation and dairy in general is just a poor quality food

Go for walks too i guess to keep you a little bit active

You're obvs gonna loose a bit but shouldn't too much, also don't worry about calorie intake as long as you hit your protein

Slowly and painfully
Jumping in outright is generally bad because of the thermal shock
controlling your breathing with longer deeper breaths helps
lucid meadow
I can’t idk how ppl do it
It mostly comes down to keeping your mind calm.
If you don't calm yourself then the thermal shock will cause your breathing to go out of control which makes the ice bath very painful.
Stretching before doing ice bath helps with the frozen like sensation when exiting.

Would not be that strict on yourself unless you actually enjoy eating like that especially the same thing every day it's pointless, you can make things that actually taste nice that are macro friendly and taste way nicer, some good sources for recipes are : Excercise4CheatMeals, Rahul Kamat and the protein chef on YouTube, on tiktok/insta I'd recommend cookWithQuise, Marianna Moore/mariannas_pantry, stealth_health_life, Aussiefitness, for people that do some recipes/try others on tiktok: former fat guy fitness and liam/ thePlantSlant
If you want to track calories (for weight loss) I'd recommend using myfitnesspal and tracking, you can put in your weight goals etc then I'd follow the following rule, 25-30% of your daily intake should be fat (any less and you'll mess up your hormones) and protein should be about 1.2-1.7g/kg body weight, can be a bit less if you're trying to loose weight initially

Looked up what you meant by "plyometrics" unfortunately I can't do that right now as my back is still recovering. I am unable to do fast movements without causing severe pain in my nervous system.
So I looked up how to strengthen tendons and apparently it seems performing a full range of motion with pauses at the end of the motion helps build it. I usually do that with the lower weights as it's not as much as a struggle compared to doing 1,000+ lbs
Going back to the gym today.

They increase your risk of heart disease, can affect your behavior, can cause liver damage, infertility, baldness and can also be mentally addicting
Sure, they are used illegally to help athletes boost their performance
But I'd probably just use creatine if you wanted to build muscle

It's definitive that taking anabolic steroids in any amount will be harmful, and there haven't been any studies comparing whether smaller doses are actually even safer, based on whats in this overview
I'm open to being proved wrong though, if there's solid evidence pointing in the opposite direction
As far as I can tell they're only beneficial for hormone therapies or for keeping muscle loss or inflammation at bay due to chronic diseases
In which cases the benefits outweigh the risks here
But just for better performance metrics or more muscles? Not worth the risk at all, as far as I can tell

What exactly is Creatine?
I have been using it and it's been quite helpful in muscle recovery.
hollow dirge
Organic, naturally occurring compound that is present in meat and whatnot. Your body also can make creatine, but taking more helps

This was from a while ago but I think your muscle getting tired is it running low on creatine, so you rest and let it replenish
Also why you can pump a few more reps when you are loaded

I usually will have a coffee with protein, creatine, and mushrooms in it in the morning then when I go to the gym after workouts I purchase a chocolate whey protein shake with peanut butter and soy milk, once I am home I drink a cup of water with 2-3 scoops of creatine
hollow dirge

Think so?
One scoop left me without much energy on recovery days.
Two-three made a big difference for me.
