neil strauss mentions that he and mystery tried it in his book "The Game".

you pretty much can't have any hourly job because who would allow a 30 minute nap for less than 4 hours of work? it works but near impossible for most of america.

I read that too. When i looked a little deeper, it turns out its a complete load of crap. REM sleep is important, but we're just now learning that non-REM sleep is important as well. It also induces sleep deprivation, which can cause all sorts of crazy things like blood pressure fluctuations and metabolism changes. The only time it is useful is under high pressure situations: sleeping in naps of six 30 min makes you more alert than one solid 3 hour block, although both induce sleep dep.

put rat on top of upside-down plant pot thats just big enough for it, surrounded by water
it falls asleep
during light sleep it stays on pot
goes into deep sleep, muscles relax more
falls off, wakes up, climbs back on
repeat
rats brain gets fucked and it acts weird

deep sleep = necessary

Been taking protein sups for about a year now. Couple of things you need to keep an eye out for.
watch out for the cholesterol. some of the cheaper ones will kill you. Also you may want an Isolate protein; higher protein %, better bang for your buck. If you want weight gain on top of muscle then your talking about two different types of Powders, you'll want one that has a high level of carbs.

i know what you're talking about. lol

Semen doesn't dry up like that.

could be a urinary tract infection, if it doesnt go away

these can be serious, and lead to various (permanent) kidney problems.
Drink a lot of cranberry juice and stay away from alcohol dor a few days. if it doesnt get better go to a doctor

I have read the FAQ. Don't start this shit.

You need to read my post again, where I made it clear that I have lurked these boards for a while, and tried a number of suggestions already.

Hey,
-you need to eat 4-6 times a day in small amounts to increase your metabolism, however its your choice with what works for you
-your protein shake, you should check on how much sugar and carbs are in it and maybe change the brand you use
-change up your workouts, your muscles become conditioned to a style or type of workout and you plateau. Do intensive weight/power lifting for a while, studies show that heavy weight training increased your metabolism for up to 36hrs and it would be a good shock to your muscles
-some foods help with weight loss
fish, spicy food, nuts, oats, fruit, veggies, soups with your meals
-you don't need to work out like mad, 3-4 days a week. Any more than that and you'll stop seeing any benefits and you just tire your muscles out and they don't get to recover-then you burn out

Well how much weight are you trying to lose? You've already lost 70lbs, and that's amazing. Unless you're morbidly obese, you should be close to your goal weight. Maybe your healthy weight is where you are now, and you'll have to accept that. Just food for thought.

Also not eating is extremely retarded.

What is juicing? :s

if its that you on the pic that is an ugly pody, stop the chiseling

SQUAT SQUAT SQUAT

First off, if you dont already take a multivitamin, start now.
Get some Glucosomine-chonodritin and fish oil supplements, and drink plenty of milk. maybe even some calcium pills.

I still stand by this. It's just an inefficient way of training.

If you want cardio/V02 max then do some sprints.
If you want endurance do some running.
If you want strength lift some weights.
If you want flexibility do some plyometrics or yoga.

Even gymnastics would be better than parkour.

Parkour is like martial arts, rarely useful but fun to do.

If you do it instead of staying home and watching TV then I say go for it but it won't replace proper workouts. It can be motivating though, as you have an application for your strength and cardio training.

Also, good for showing off.

Gaining weight is basically like losing weight, but easier. Eat a balanced diet and count your calories. Eat 500 calories more than maintenance and work out a lot and you will gain muscle at a steady pace.

BSN Tru-Mass, take it twice a day mixed with water or milk, eat well and workout 3 times a week. sorted!!!

Read the fuckin FAQ.

Goddamn.
