Some notes:
- I tried that Activ thing. I am trying it. I think it helps?
- But I got bloated. Hunger seems to reduce.
- That guy you know, he cant eat anymore. He pukes stuff out.
- The bloating was a bit annoying.
- Semaglutide history

Time to start again
The big work items are now over. The golives, etc
The goal is to keep the running, although reduced intensity.
And add in strength.
Beginning will be tough. It will be stressful. So, you want a clear schedule.
The workout consistency will ramp up. Its a new training program. It will be 5 days a week.

Anabolic vs. Non-anabolic
| Aspect | Anabolic Workouts | Non-Anabolic Workouts |
|---|---|---|
| Definition | Workouts that focus on building muscle mass and strength through intense, short-duration exercises. Often involves weightlifting or resistance training. | Workouts that focus on endurance, cardiovascular fitness, or fat loss, typically involving prolonged, moderate-intensity activities. |
| Examples | Weightlifting, bodybuilding, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), powerlifting. | Running, cycling, swimming, walking, yoga. |
| Primary Energy Source | Primarily uses glycogen (stored carbohydrates) for short bursts of energy. | Primarily uses fat and carbohydrates for sustained energy. |
| Hormonal Response | Triggers anabolic hormones like testosterone, growth hormone, and insulin. | Limited hormonal spike; may increase cortisol (stress hormone). |
| Benefits | – Builds muscle mass and strength. – Increases metabolic rate. – Improves bone density. – Enhances functional fitness and power. | – Improves cardiovascular health. – Boosts endurance and stamina. – Aids in weight loss. – Enhances mental clarity and reduces stress. |
| Who It’s Best For | Individuals seeking to build muscle, enhance strength, or sculpt their body. | Those aiming to improve endurance, cardiovascular health, or lose weight. |
| Pros | – Increases muscle size and definition. – Supports better metabolic health. – Improves strength for daily tasks. | – Strengthens the heart and lungs. – Can be done for longer durations. – Generally lower risk of injury compared to heavy lifting. |
| Cons | – Requires proper form and supervision to avoid injury. – May lead to overtraining or joint stress. | – Less effective for muscle gain. – Can be monotonous if not varied. |
| Duration | Shorter, intense sessions (30–60 minutes). | Longer sessions (30–90+ minutes). |
| Impact on Recovery | May require more recovery time due to muscle fatigue and micro-tears. | Typically less recovery time needed unless high volume. |
| Calorie Burn | High calorie burn during exercise, but higher post-exercise calorie burn due to EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption). | Steady calorie burn during exercise; less post-exercise burn compared to anabolic workouts. |
Summary
- Anabolic Workouts: Ideal for building muscle, strength, and boosting metabolism, but they require focused technique and recovery.
- Non-Anabolic Workouts: Perfect for improving endurance, cardiovascular health, and fat loss, but they may not significantly build muscle.
