will taking wellbutrin kill my gains

No. Why would it? On it for a month currently. Went a year on it when i first started lifting and if anything i thought it helped at the time. Currently feels kinda negligible except it may be suppressing apoetite, but i also quit smoking mj recently

I haven't noticed a difference since I started taking it. My anxiety is down and it also doesn't impact my libido at all, which is a huge plus.

Will probably help your gains but it makes you cray cray and you won't even know it until you come off it.

>>77365789
wellbutrin is an extremely based Rx and it even reverses the damage that SSRIs do.
the only plausible side effect of wellbutrin that could negatively impact your gains is insomnia

tldr: started going to the local pool, need exercises to restart building strenght

Was fit up to last year, health got worse (MS) and I stopped doing any activity, gaining 20+ kg and losing all gains. Walking feel terrible, running is impossible, legs feel haavy as stone and fatigue is a bitch.
To start moving again, I started going to the local pool since gym is out the way until I regain some strenght, and it was insanely helpful. Legs don't feel tired, and I can actually do swim around and feel the muscles working again.
But just randomly swimming is not enough: do you have any exercise I could do to start building strenght again?
>>
>>77364820
I've read from other anons that cold helped them with their MS. Could be a reason why the pool feels good to you. Forget about ego lifting like strength and do only exercises that help you keep ms down

Aajonus Vonderplanitz already solved multiple sclerosis decades ago. It's a disease that can be permanently healed with just a few simple dietary changes and patience.

There are no studies on people who've overcome MS because doctors are not legally allowed to declare it cured, ever. Even if all symptoms disappear forever.

>>77363312
how is it a scam? Its just a series of studies and tests done to see how to optimize your workouts for max efficiency, it doesn't raise the ceiling for the physique you produce. You can do everything perfectly, it's not going to alter your genetics. You can study for the test perfectly and get a C while some other guy barely studies, smokes weed before the test and gets an A. Genetics is the underlying determinant to anything you do, including while on PEDs.

For women who have large boobies, are those boobies an impediment to weight lifting and getting in shape? Like by blocking the bar on the way down for bench? Obviously most women don’t bench press but even for leg and ass workouts most girls do can they like mess up their balance squatting?

I have a problem with my cerebellum and I won't be able to see a specialist until December.

It's becoming harder to maintain my balance when walking. What can I do for the next 5 months that can help my cerebellum and improve my gait? I really don't want to buy a cane or walker at my age.

a special diet? head maneuvers? I am desperate

Scale back to similar movement patterns using no weight (basically physio) and try to figure it out.
Don't lift heavy when you have those problems, take care of them first cause you'll have to do it later anyway.

Push your feet into the ground and push the earth away from you (this helps for squats and deadlifts as well), don't try and thrust your butt up into the air. My guess is your starting position is arched not neutral or even butt tucked, you arent bracing, and you're trying to thrust the bar up with only your glutes, which is activating your back and pulling you out of position.

Do frog pumps with way less weight. Heavy hip thrusts are retarded and the new version of some skinny pussy putting 10 plates on the leg press

Don’t worry about it. That’s the key to pretty much everything. If your diet is adequate and you are fairly active and enjoy life you will age well. If you don’t then you won’t

Also what is the daily obsession over aging and trying to look young? If I see someone who looks 21 and he is actually 40 I am not going to be impressed I’m just going to think he’s a freak

I have been doing drugs like its my job for the past 15+ years. I mean constantly fucked up daily on multiple substances from methamphetamine to robitussin. It has clearly done a number on my health, and life, and i resolved to change. I am making big strides but i backslid again. But just so yall know, i went 8 months straight sober, 4 months ago. Since then i have been relatively sober, occasionally buying little bits of hydrocodone but yeah, even that is backsliding. Nevertheless like two months ago i got back into meth. Was doing it like 1-2 a week and propylhexedrine like 1x a week ( propylhexedrine is meth that uses the peripheral as opposed to the central nervous system btw … its deadly stuff… never worth it )

Well two nights ago I took too much, was awake too long and was already too unhealthy to begin with. I got to work after being awake for three days. I had hydrated and eaten and taken fairly good care of myself besides this.

Nevertheless, about an hour into work i was already too weak to even lift a shovel. My entire body was buzzing with a numb feeling, including my deep chest. I went to sit at a lunch table because i knew i had gone too far somehow. Well, i began seizing up, but not like shaking. Like my arms started to curl inward and it HURT LIKE FUCK. I had no control to stop them. I stayed like this, shaking slightly in this vegetable pose for like 30 minutes, occasionally bolting upwards to restart my heart by screaming bloody murder. Throughoit all this i was totally aware and people say i was in my right mind the whole time. I remember all of it. The ambulance arrived after about 30 minutes and i proceeded to have this symptom for like 5 hours straight at the hospital. It just kept hurting worse and worse and i was getting more rigid, my blood pressure and heart rate following the pain.
>>
>>77366163

Im pretty damn sure i was consciously controlling my life and death by being smart enough to stress my peripheral system when my central was in pain and vice versa ( and most importantly, relaxing completely if possible and maintaining steady breath )

For 4 hours, when i felt extreme pain in my left arm i would squeeze my right arm and focus on it and it would actually balance it out somehow. But it was very complex and hard to explain. The electricity between the brain and the heart even became a crucial part of the ritual i was doing- and believe it or not - an item jumped off the table during the chaos. I truly believe i was fighting for my life
My theory as a former emt ( which means i dont know almost anything but i do know SOMETHING ) and mainly as an autistic researcher with good recall….


I think i saved my life by balancing out this seizure of my two nervous systems. If not a deadly heart attack then a permanently damaging stroke. But throughout it all i knew exactly what it was and what to do, and when i made tiny mistakes ( rare because i was scared almost to death no pun intended ) the exact symptoms i was fighting against would present. Every single way i acted during this confirmed my own theories. And made me never want tk get high again. I truly believe that for a short time i was not my brain, nor my heart but the electricity between

Any good exercises for properly fixing pain/weakness in these areas? My doc gave me some wrist stretches because he thinks that is the underlying issue, but those consistently make things worse. I don't have the usual CTS symptoms anymore but the fatigue in these areas hasn't subsided over the last 8 months. Been mostly trying push ups and resistance band exercises, with splinting when I go to bed.

Have had it for 15 years. The best ways to not have symptoms in my experience are:
>Sleep with your arms down
>Avoid beating your grip up constantly
>Get on all fours and stretch your forearm palms up then palms down with your hands as wide open as possible. You will be surprised how much your palms eventually flatten out
>Go back and forth a few times and don’t push it too hard. It’s a slow, gentle stretch that takes at least a few days to really kick in

the real issue is most skinnyfats don't know how to clean bulk. they don't have to ever look fat. they could just get 100-150g of protein and lift most days a week and the problem will solve itself. instead they listen to chocolate milk raving retards and end up fat and not much stronger

Id say they don't need to be specifically focusing on bulking or cutting. They just need to eat clean, consistently go to the gym and actually progressive overload. Over the course of a year of doing this they'll find fat melts away, muscle goes on and body shape changes.

I see the same patterns of behaviour among skinnyfats
>Bad diets, lots of greasy microwave pizza and fries, Doritos with melted cheese over for lunch, fast food etc. They eat like fat people but just don't eat enough to get really big
>If going to gym, they never really work hard. Always fuck around on machines and don't really add weight or reps session to session. They're pretty much wasting their time even been there with the shit they're usually doing
>Also rarely any actual cardio. Walking for 15 minutes on the treadmill is not cardio
>>
Nope

They should tren first
>>
>>77359227
>fat people should get more fat
Skinnyfats should cut AND lift. The noob gains will be more than enough to compensate for the cut, and it will build the proper discipline needed for when those run out and you need to actually cut and CLEAN bulk.
