    Isometric Exercise

    I googled Ray Peat Isometric and found no mention of isometric exercise. It increases nerve force which is always useful. Any opinions on isometric or other forms of exercise reviewed by RP ?

    Endurance Training Increases Gluconeogenesis During Rest And Exercise In Men

    http://ajpendo.physiology.org/content/278/2/E244.long I wonder if actually cardio has value. Glucose metabolism is superior to fat metabolism after all.

    Fitness And Metabolism

    When talking in terms of ability to not get out of breath during physical exertion where does metabolism fit in? Does physical fitness and endurance come at the expense of a good metabolism or will someone with a good metabolism not tire/get out of breath so easily? in anyone's experience? Like...

    Force Output While Peating

    Hi, For those among us who are weightlifting or involved in any activity requiring force production, haven't you noticed a decrease in force production and/or muscular endurance under tension? The weights I used to lift quite easily seem more and more heavy. One of the hypothesis I have is that...

    Strenuous Exercise Can Have The Same Effects As Sepsis

    Ray has mentioned numerous times how even a mild mechanical stress to the intestine can make it release serotonin and endotoxin. He has said that running is the worst of all exercises due to the leaky gut syndrome it causes and the ensuing "low grade sepsis". Well, it looks like he is right once...

    Concentric Only Excercise

    Hi all I am feeling like doing more weight lifting and want to try concentric only and see if I can tell any difference. Obviously the only way to do it with free weights is throw them on the ground after the concentric phase. That would go over like a fart in church, LOL. Has anyone ever seen...

    I Personally Only Got Better After Starting To Exercise A Lot

    I think what is missing is a exercise program. I personally found no progress can be made without exercise. Just little walking or bycicling is not enough. I stopped exercising year and a half ago because I had an injury and I didnt exercise after that 3 month rest. In the last 50 days with...

    Exercise Reduces Insulin Resistance Only With High Carb Diet

    While this study does not directly implicate fat as the cause of insulin resistance, it does lean in that direction. Prolonged reliance on fat-rich diet led to inability to lose weight even in the presence of exercise (and thus caloric deficit). Only the carbohydrate-rich diet combined with...

    Maxalding, Muscle Control And Ray Peat

    Forgive me if this is in the wrong subforum.. Maxalding, or muscle control, delevoped by old time strongman maxick (Max Sick) is a way of developing muscles through control of muscle contraction. In simple terms you squeeze the heck out of your muscles which forces blood and nutrients in and...

    Dance!

    I like to dance, and I read an article from RP that said cardio only feels good because it raises body temperature, which makes sense. However, is dance the same thing? I do cardio and I get bored, but I don't get bored dancing and I was wondering if the very nature of it may be anti stress...

    Exercise (endurance) Is Bad For Your Oral Health

    Ray has written about how tooth and gum health is determined primarily by the levels of thyroid hormone and the overall health of the metabolism. It is well known that strenuous exercise (primarily endurance type, but also resistance type in some cases) both acutely and chronically lowers levels...

I am going through a major healing process these past 4.5 months; the first 3 months I stopped working out completely and now I am going based on my heart rate and temperature. Has...

    The Dark Side Of Exercise [Sudden Cardiac Death]

    Ray has written about the strain on the heart and damage seen in long distance runners, etc. It's ironic that ancient civilizations considered chronic exercise as very unhealthy, while the modern world pushes for more and more strenuous activity. http://m.heart.bmj.com/content/100/16/1227...

    Ray's Views On Flexability / Stretching

    I'm a very tight, inflexible guy. I was wondering if ray has ever spoke about this? I assume flexibility comes with good thyroid function?

    Movement: How Important Is It?

    Hello you cheeky rascals. I've been thinking a lot about movement. I myself am a big believer in adequate, non stressful movement (mostly relaxed walking) and stretching. I find that movement helps regulate the bowels, keep the mind clear and keep the body from locking up (for example; tight hip...
