Should I take a week off?
I've been lifting 4 days a week for 7 weeks now (I'm a beginner) and I'm experiencing a few things :
General fatigue/completely drained after my workout
Waking up at night and being unable to fall asleep
Lifts are a still progressing but I think at a slower rate
Generally feeling more anxious throughout the day (could be poor sleep)

I'm scared to take a week off though because I'm worried ill lose progress

Take a rest week every 6-10 weeks if you struggle with recovery. For beginners its tendons and joints being overworked due to imperfect technique, lacking muscle activation. If you've been working very hard you will even make gains during the rest week when supercompensation sets in. You def won't lose any gains in just a single week and as a beginner probably not even weight on the bar.

It all depends on the intensity of your training. I start a new training block every 2-3 months with 6-10 rest days between for complete recovery and switch main lifts.

>>74780509
Waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to fall back asleep is generally a pretty strong indicator of central nervous system fatigue.
Reduce volume and reps for a week, or just take some time off. A deload does not need to last a full week. 3-4 days off is long enough

Hello Gamers.
I have gone 573 days without a single stroke of my penis.
I have turned real life into an RPG in which I am the protagonist.
Each completed day is an XP point. Each urgewave is a bossfight. Each milestone is a level up. Each involuntary emission is a death.
Eternal Nofap is Eternal Bliss.

>Who is /fat/ for?
For the dessert devourers who are working towards a longer life and a better physique through meaningful hard-work, strategy, and dedication. This is not QTDDTOT, stick to questions on fat loss. Post height and weight when asking for advice.
Join our Fatty Contest: https://www.fattycontest.com/

>What do I do first?
1. Read https://physiqonomics.com/fat-loss/
2. Calculate your Body Fat Percentage: https://fitness.bizcalcs.com/Calculator.asp?Calc=Body-Fat-Navy
3. Calculate your TDEE: https://www.sailrabbit.com/bmr/
Remember to use bodyfat% and use Katch-McArdle Formula with sedentary settings or your TDEE will be too high.
4. Plan your weight loss: https://www.losertown.org/eats/cal.php
5. Track your nutrition with MyFitnessPal (better for packaged food), Cronometer (better for generic food/macros) or LoseIt (great for both).

>Now what?
Count calories, all of them.
Eat about 500-1000 less calories than your TDEE.

In cases of extreme calorie overload in very short spaces of time, there are certain food groups you may fail to sufficiently digest. Certain sugars for example have fixed upper ceilings on how fast your body can absorb them from the food, and whilst it takes a serious effort, they can be overcome and you can intake more food than you can process. The same can happen with other food groups. In these instances you end up excreting otherwise usable materials, which means that you might intake somewhat less than you suggested - say 9k instead of 9.99k calories. If the body can't absorb the energy source, it can't utilise the calories from it.

Citation for glucose maximal absorbtion levels for example http://www.jbc.org/content/107/1/133.full.pdf

Do they just have a low IQ or are they secretly suicidal? Or maybe they see no other way to improve their physique because their genetics or their willpower/consistency in the gym is not good enough.

What do you guys think is the reason? I know, I know. Natty lifting is a meme and all that but taking steroids is even more of a joke because you shorten your life span and risk hair loss, age your face potentially, lower your testosterone permanently, etc.

IQ could be less important than other measures of intelligence, but since I believe that intelligence as a whole is infinitely important, IQ is also, paradoxically, infinitely important. I'm using "infinitely" metaphorically of course.
Does that clear it up for you?

>>74784001
>>74784064
To be fair, when I said "the IQ itself isn't the concern" I meant that it's not the only concern.

do you floss, anon?

6 years ago I wouldnt have even thought of flossing. I brushed every couple days but I thought that was fine.
Had a dental checkup, and needed five cavities filled. Id had 1 or two before, but never 5. It cost me a pretty penny.
I asked the dentist what I could do to not have that again, and he asked if I flossed. Of course I said I try, but its hard to remember, which is true.
I complained about it in one of the /sig/ threads and one of the anons said something that has stuck with me since
>every time you don't floss, the kikes and women win.
Idk if I hated women then but it stuck with me.
Since then, I've made a habit of flossing after brushing my teeth. I only seldom forget, and I've had no cavities since.
TL;DR is flossing works bros, especially if you have weaker enamel. So dont let the jews win.

How do I make it quicker? It takes like 10 mins (20 since it's to be done twice).
>>
>>74779544
Just did it, I should do it more. Feels nice, but my gums might be a bit inflamed later.
Water flossing just doesn't do it for me, but I'll still use it.
>>
I've flossed since one time a three years ago I had 7 cavities in one dentist visit. Now I floss regularly and have only had 2 since then.
>>
>>74780563

>inb4 muh infant mortality
All mortality was worse back then because their medical care was shit.

Why is everyone suddenly so obsessed with beef and eggs? I assume its just zoomers, or whatever 15-25 year olds call themselves these days. They were raised on fast food and general slop and are just now discovering that eating chicken and cows is actually based?
