I hear you on that Doc! It reminds me of all those women buying into that "Oil Of Olay" cream deceit, slathering on all that aging mineral oil, thinking they were gonna end up better in the end, only to achieve just the opposite, and still, no matter, they slather and run those treadmills!
What do you mean?
Oh I just love this thread! And your post pointing out maladaption. Does anyone remember the formula once offered I think by a Doc on tv show Dr Oz, who pointed out that men who bodybuild, for every 30lbs over the weight that their frame was built to carry, lose an inch in the penis? Haaaaah maladaption
That looks pretty cool. I think our member Hans D'Amato and his Men-elite fitness is working on this with some new science discovery recently made
Running on a treadmill would be that "breathless exercise" Ray Peat is talking about in his statement and the reasons for hypothyroidism and accelerating aging. I don't think our "cravings" has been a great measure of our health and what we should be doing, with peanut butter, bacon, running and such. It is more of what got is in our mess in the first place. Looking at it now, with the eyes wide open knowledge of how things work, and it's cause and effect, we can enjoy those unhealthy things as much as we like. We just shouldn't be fooling ourselves anymore thinking we are doing ourselves any favors.
....and to your point point about children and running, that is why we yell, "Jonny slow down you're gonna hurt yourself"!
oh my goodness...what if that's more of a correlation than causation? In other words, maybe the muscle-bound dudes were lacking in other areas from the start, making them insecure enough to try to compensate? Idk.
Glad you found it amusing!Oh my gosh I laughed out loud reading your comment OccamzRazer! Funny you don't see to many elderly people there, probably cause they finally wised up
I've noticed this too. Lotsa people who used to lift heavy begin looking old and 'deflated' as early as 50. Glad you were spared from this fate!
Funny. As I recall, the warning was speaking to overmuscled bulk vs frame, the "for every 30# an inch reduction" the only part I remembered, as I was lifting at the time, and saw a LOT of competitions, always made me wonder.
Functional patterns is the "peaty" version of exercise
If you enjoy it and if it isn't causing you an excess of stress, it would be in accordance to Peat's bioenergetic principles.
They largely are though, do you think your mind knows better than your body? Eating supposedly unhealthy food you enjoy is better than eating supposedly healthy food you hate -- this is the Peatarian view. In general though, the foods you enjoy eating are exactly the foods you should be eating in the first place, given that we're talking about real foods. Your cravings are not arbitrary.
helpful knowledgable post with the punchline>>>>>>>>
That is exactly right! That food pyramid was our downfall too. Really 6-11 servings of grains, in a day?!! What is your new take on P.E. classes?
Do those ridiculously tricked out tiny trucks on big wheels, we see occasionally see driving around town, fall into that catergory akgrrrl?
I am sure those body builders of the olden days weathered better because they used better sources of protein, gulping down a dozen beautifully fed chicken eggs and other high quality proteins, feeding their skin, making their skin more forgiving and flexible. I don't see lifting falling into the "breathless exercise" catergory. There is certainly stress involved lifting weights and lactic acid galore, but they use their protein to build not to burn. The difference between a runner and a bodybuilder is no competition.
While I would still like to address food: teaching how to select per seasons, testing for ripeness,clues to industry tampering ( can we know if irradiated?) How to store, how to prepare, how to preserve...
Oh funny! I just said the same thing about the trucks before I read yours! It is so nice to hear others thinking the same things I have thought for so long. I can see why men do all of it, and God bless them for trying to impress us women, but I personally always thought brains are much sexier than brawn.
Haaaaaah! Too funny eh? Unless a rig is modified for mud bogging or beachbugging as a specific activity it does defy decades of careful engineering doesnt it? There appear to be different versions. I know a guy that bought a huge gas guzzler truck full bed length and extended crew cab. It was dark green. He lived in a town apartment, drove3.5 miles to work, wasnt hauling any crew, didnt even have a dog. I asked if he wanted to go to the beach with me one day, no we would be taking my old 86 Dodge 4x4 beater truck, that big green penis you drive wouldnt make it past the dunes...Do those ridiculously tricked out tiny trucks on big wheels, we see occasionally see driving around town, fall into that catergory akgrrrl?
