How? - Attacking you with foods that contain soy and chemicals that suppress testosterone levels. hormone disrupting chemicals have made their way into a variety of products, from cosmetics like sunscreen and toothpaste to plastic water bottles and thermal receipt ink.
Using the media, the economy, finances, race, fear and every other weapon they can to keep you in a constant state of stress. These environments and conditions drive up secretion of the stress hormone cortisol, which results in lower levels of the estrogen-desensitizing hormone progesterone. This relative increase in estrogen dominance is not good for either sex, but men are particularly affected by it.
Why? - Strong men inspire and lead others, protect those around them and most importantly, fight. Weak men follow.
Edit: Most insurances won't cover TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) but **will **cover testosterone if you're a woman Transitioning into a man. That's very telling.
My son is 17 and a XC runner. He has a fast metabolism, so he’s slender and muscular. What would you recommend to help him gain some? (We doesn’t want to be too bulky because it would make him slower, he’s the fastest distance runner on the team)
Big difference in racing 100m and 3 miles. Type II fibers add the most mass, but tire out quicker. The longer the race, the longer they are extra resistance instead of extra propulsion.
Food diary is a great idea. I’m sure he could stand to eat more often. He will eat pretty much anything and any time, but I’ve noticed that he will almost forget to if I’m not offering him food.
We have two enormous containers of weight gainer that could use some love.
You’re right about Bolt, he’s very muscular but still has that runner/swimmer body type. More of the long and lean, as opposed to the very broad shouldered bulky look.
I think it’s partly genetics, but with muscle you do need to consider which muscle fiber you’re looking to increase.
More bulk doesn’t mean more strength.
In Bolt’s case, that dude is tall! Like 6’5”? … but look at his legs, slim and super strong tendons. The tendons can compress a lot more energy per inch.
Typical response is; Quality proteins and fats in conjunction with minimal strength training. But I would suggest looking into AthleanX, Jeff Cavalier is top notch with muscle and brains to match since he's a physical therapist as well (also has like 9-11 million subs, among them are all the triple A list athletes). But to gain some mass, you have to do strength training, especially if you focus mainly on cardio. I get quick results with grassfed whey protein and creatine (best within 45 mins of strength training). This is just my experience, I also have a high metabolism but do not train for distance running. Jeff will likely have just what he needs.
We will check him out! Thank you so much!
Edit: that guy is ripped 😂
You bet, I'm grateful to help...enjoy the journey fren!
Milk is cheap and essentially a super food if you're not lactose intolerant. The protein in most protein shakes is milk protein. Don't have to drink the whole gallon, 3 cups a day would would give you 450 more kcals if you grab whole.
If you have access to RAW milk. That stuff will change your life!
Goats milk btw, the best milk out there.
Bench press 3 times a week.
no ejaculating, no sugar, no alcohol, no cannabis.
