The gay that wrote that is a married homosexual that only wants to appear fit to attract other gay sex conspirators. Yuck! And his nutrition advice is nothing but "What can I eat to lose weight" garbage.
>>310236 is right. You can maintain a state of constant regeneration through proper diet and rest, but attacking the same muscles repeatedly before they have a chance to recover is going to be useless at best and dangerous at worst. Like how carpal tunnel and rotary cuff injuries form from repeat wear with no time for the joints to recover. The muscles, where they attach to the bones, and even the bones themselves require a grace period after every resistance session.
This is why intermediate program would look something like
>Day 1: Arm movement, stretches, wrist curls, grip>Day 2: Arms, shoulders, neck, chest with heavy resistance>Day 3: Rest>Day 4: Leg movement, stretches, abdomen, light cardio>Day 5: Legs, back, abdomen with heavy resistance>Day 6: Rest>RepeatGet stretches in, evaluate how a group of muscles feels, hit some of the twitch fibres. Then the next day hit them with the heavy training. A full day of rest after every resistance session. Move to the other half of your body. These recovery and evaluation days are real important for a beginner, especially someone who's been sedentary. Nobody is incapable of getting strong enough to crush their own skull, but past habits will greatly influence how you begin. As a beginner, hitting hypertrophy in your upper half should have you begging for an extra rest day. That is good. listen to your body. If it is sore, it is fixing itself. Give it the nutrition it needs to do so, keeping other parts of your body limber in the meantime, and then go back harder when the soreness wains. Exerting a muscle to its limits while it is still recovering is like re-opening a flesh wound. It's not going to heal faster, and now there's going to be a bigger scar of dense, nerveless flesh.

My experience is that the most efficient way to maintain sanity through exercise is to train every day, but not lifting. There are a lot of gymnastics you can do every day, because they do not involve aggressive attacks of your body and instead just some repetitive movements with your body. It gets you exhausted quickly, but doesn't give all the stress of a lifttard training. Some chinese stuff can be pretty good in this regard. It is also mentally much easier while depressed.

Dry Scalp is a bitch. I have been using Nizoral but that only stops it temporarily. Turns out using shampoo only dries out your skin. Shampoo is for cleaning your hair, and removing dirty oils.
You have to use conditioner to put back essential oils, keeping your hair strong, longer, and most importantly for me: moisturizing your head so your scalp won't be dry. Nizoral only removes dead skin, but since it dries out the scalp, it's gonna create more dead skin after a day or two.
Normally I leave a dozen skin flakes on my pillow everyday, about half that amount if I'm using Nizoral. And now I leave maybe a few skin flakes and they're half the size. I've used conditioner only 5 times in the last week or so. I imagine it will take a while to fix the issue but maybe I wont have to go to a dermatologist.

"Shovel Gloving" or just "shovelglove" is a gay-sounding and gay-looking exercise routine perfect for recluses who want a little exercise to prevent their health from declining but otherwise don't care much about physical fitness. It involves swinging a sledge hammer around for 14 minutes every day. It can be fun as long as nobody can see through your windows and see you acting retarded.
You can google the word and find the routine's web site. It has instructions for a variety of different motions and the creator's reasoning for sticking to 14 minutes a day. The word "shovel" refers to the primary exercise motion in which you mimic the act of shoveling with your sledge hammer. "Glove" refers to cushioning the head of the hammer (like by wrapping a sweater around it) to reduce the chances of accidentally destroying things or murdering your pets or yourself. The "glove" part is optional though.
It obviously won't make you super strong but it's better than nothing.

>At the height of his strength career, Mark Henry stood 6’ 3’’ tall, weighed between 390-410 pounds, and was widely considered to be the strongest man in the world. It’s also arguable that Mark Henry was/is the strongest man of all time.
>Two essential points qualify Henry for such a title: 1. Throughout his life and career, he was completely drug free, meaning he never used steroids.
> 2. In a combined total of the five primary, competitive lifts which are measured and adjudicated with precision (three powerlifts: the squat, the deadlift, and the bench; plus, two weightlifting movements: the snatch and the clean and jerk), Henry’s record total set in the mid-1990s still surpasses that of any other human as we write this in 2021.
> What makes Mark Henry stand apart from other legendary strongmen, is that while he was blessed with prodigious size and raw strength, he also had extraordinary balance, coordination, explosiveness, and flexibility. Combine that with what Henry, himself, describes as a “psycho-competitive” nature and it’s no wonder that the colossus from Silsbee, Texas broke so many records and dominated the competition in three different strength sports: powerlifting, weightlifting, and strongman. No one else has ever done that.

>>310236I was thinking how brutal doing exercise till failure with pushups and pullups Three times in a row each on the same day. This program is not based on reality, you would lose your will after the second set till failure and struggle to ever do the second arms exercise. That cardio every day will also tank your gains, and there's no way you could even do it with squats till failure the day before actually.
Jog twice a week. Do a pullups till failure day and alternate with pushups till failure. Do starter sets each for endurance/volume and then the final set till failure twice (4+ sets, 3 never works IMO). If you're going to do squats till failure do it with a day of leg rest between jogging. That might be more viable

Weight lifting itself will also increase androgen density. You need androgen receptors to absorb the free testosterone otherwise it'll turn into estrogen. You'll know if you're testosterone maxing if you grow thick facial hair. Beware however, excess testosterone is implicated in aggression.
I don't know the full details on recovery maxing yet but for creatine, sauna exposure for GH, a good amino acid supplement should help

One time when doing pull-ups trying to increase my max number of reps I injured my shoulders and had to wait for a good 1 or 2 weeks to recover.
Thing is, you have to work on your form, there's plenty of videos that you can use and you can record yourself with your phone camera to see if you're doing the exercises right or if you have a mirror use it.
Also, try to warm up a little before exercises, things like scapula retractions while hanging on the bar before commencing your sets of pull-ups should help.
Doing body-weight exercises shouldn't cause you injury so if that happens you're definitely doing something wrong.
