Keep active

You can eat more.

Genetic markers

Goal is that I want to use the tools at home to do it all.

• Focus on the side delts — Behind the shoulder cable
• 30 reps in a set, 3 reps of complete failure

• Lateral raise, but not exactly on the side. Its similar to the behind the shoulder cable.

What is it

• Body’s ability to convert O2 from env to fuel you
• Z1 and Z2 is the “base”
• You can stay in this base for HOURS and HOURS
• Lactic Acid system
  • Generally you use O2 to power Z1 or Z2.
  • But, “lactate” gets built up in the system.
  • Now, O2 is being diverted to break out lactate in the muscles.
  • Usually about an hour in this state is possible.
  • But you have to stop.
• Anaerobic system — About 10 minutes. Super high intensity.

• Brain is amazing
  • It detects “Easy running” and tries to make it easier, because it has time.
  • If it was too intense, it doesn’t have time to adapt. AHA.
  • Brain makes your lungs bigger, blood streams more efficient, etc. Its epic.

Whats the issue with LACTATE?

• Lactate is this thin line, transition point, between BASE and Z3 intensity (non-BASE)
• When your O2 is being used to break down the lactate, then you are wasting miles

AHA MOMENT – Don’t do “Wasted Base”

There are TWO training sessions.

• Session 1: TRAIN THE BASE
• Session 2: TRAIN THE LACTATE

Don’t do BOTH

How do I know which system am I in?

• Watch this video
• Breathe only through nose for first 0.6 miles.
• Feel like you could go harder, but you are not.
• Hold a really easy conversation
• THIS WILL MAKE YOU FASTER!!!
• GO SLOW TO GO FAST

How else to train it?

• Can be build using cycling or swimming

---

180-AGE gives me MAX aerobic heart rate. Don’t go above that. Sustained at this heart rate for long time to build aerobic base.

Need to work on this post. (This Messy Happy too?)

Watch the other one too

Nothing else to say. Don’t over think it.

Dont worry about muscle loss, etc.

Just eat less. And run. And some upper body stuff.

Build the mental resilience.

This is the video

**I knew that if I didn’t loose it fast, I would just give up. I had tried it before but it didnt stick**

This is super interesting belief.

Why not try to be super fucking aggressive with weight loss and see what happens?

Like, do it for 3 months.

1. no gym
2. lose it, six pack promise (apps )
3. no soda, only water (no beer) (no caffeine?)
4. oatmeal every morning 
5. grilled chicken 2 for lunch 3 for dinner 
     grilled chicken w eggs & salsa 
6. special k pastry crisps ( dessert )
7. fruitttt
8. 900-1200 calories a day ( NOT recommend consult w your dr )
9. chocolate almond milk/almond milk
10. saturday was cheat meal (not a cheat DAY, just a meal) 
11. tennis 2/3 hours, jogging 2/3 miles, push-ups 4-5 sets in total 100

He does go running?

• Water (zero calories drinking, including beer, drinks)
• Oatmeal recipe
  • Oat, local honey, cinnamon, peanut butter, water
• Grilled chicken — protein source.

YOU HAVE TO BE TIRED OF THE PERSON YOU ARE

It really is about CALORIE STUFF

This is an interesting question. Weight is measure both of these things, so hard to disentagle.

Also, beyond that, it’s useful to know which one is easier or more difficult to lose.

When in a caloric deficit, the body primarily prefers to burn fat for energy. However, factors such as the size of the deficit, diet composition, exercise type, body composition, hormonal levels, and duration of the deficit can influence the extent to which muscle is also used for energy. To minimize muscle loss during a caloric deficit, it’s beneficial to consume adequate protein, engage in resistance training, and avoid extreme caloric restrictions.

Usually, the fatter you are, the more fat you will use. So, thats good for me.

But, you can make it a bit clearer by doing resistance training.

How do you know if you are loosing fat or muscle?

• Keep an eye out for muscle destruction — ammonia smell? urine?
• Make sure your protein is high.

So cool man. I did it.

I kept pace. I think I could target mid 14s regularly if I wanted.

The thing that annoys me is that I am at the end of the pack. I want to go ahead!

I dunno — sometimes I itch to run or be active.

The insomnia was really bad for a bit. Maybe.

Weight will come down.

Recovery

I like going out of the city to calm down. It does seem to impact me, based on the oura ring.

Look at all those youtube videos. Everyone is doing it man. They are working out and getting back into shape.

People in your life also seem to have it, right it?

The most annoying one is Sahil Bloom

Sahil Blooms workout:

3 slow runs
1 track workout
1 tempo run
1 long run
4 lifts a week throughout to maintain muscle mass

Remember that you underestimate your NEAT calories and over estimate other things.

You don’t need rich complicated food. You just need simple lunches. No point experimenting with foods anymore. Food is nutrition. Seek flavor in small punches.

Sometimes my body just craves protein and not carbs.

I have been thinking a lot about rapid weight reduction to boot strap things again.

Let’s review the TDEE

Basal Metabolic Rate	2,259 calories per day
Sedentary	        2,711 calories per day
Light Exercise	        3,106 calories per day
Moderate Exercise	3,501 calories per day
Heavy Exercise	        3,897 calories per day
Athlete	                4,292 calories per day

BMR is   2200
Exercise 1000
Total is 3200

Then, dial down the food.
