@JohnGoldman 90kg male running a marathon at average pace ~0.97kwh total output
Which would be 8000 air squats or
4000 squats with 90kg or
2000 squats at 180kg
In pure energy terms that is
Not really comparable π€£
@AllenGreenMD1 @Mangan150 Wouldn't the replenished plasma, post donation, contain the same compounds if made endogenously? If a it seems as though exchange is the only real option.
@Mangan150 I have donated fairly consistently my entire adult life, for others rather than myself but the iron dump is a nice bonus. It seems new blood infusions would be the most practical, perhaps how these old money/wealthy types live so long . . .
@coookwithchris Not eating 5-6 hours before bed is even better. Body temp drops and you sleep like a baby. show in a study on cyclists, better muscle retention after a period of calorie restriction
@GuruAnaerobic What's the rep breakdown here Mark? As in rest pauses. I started throwing in the 100 squat thing occasionally a while back and made good progress but haven't yet managed unbroken reps with weight,
@SeanStockton44@LifeOptimised@Superd3k Yeah clearly it's all snake oil, invented by a man with severe spinal injuries that recovered and went on to set new powerlifting records. Stretches are for muscles, decompression is spinal. "Oh I have a sore back, but if I hang for 30s it helps" 10x this
@SeanStockton44@LifeOptimised@Superd3k This is where you're wrong, the biggest contraction happens in the most lengthened position, arresting and reversing the momentum of the swing. Contracting these muscles at length is where the decompression benefits comes from.
