You can do absolutely anything you set your mind to; your biggest fault is in not recognizing how incredibly powerful you are...
When males reach the age of 30, our testosterone production begins to decrease by about 1% per year.
I am 43 years old.
4 months ago, I felt "fine."
(and no Neil, not Fucked up, Insecure, Neurotic, and Emotional).
Fine.
Ok.
Laissez-fair.
Just... fine.
During the experimental biohack I tried on myself from April to June, there were some mornings when I woke up and actually
ROARED!
I felt a roar coming on, and it felt like absolutely the correct move to let it out, and it felt good.
The side effect of having NRBs wasn't an unwelcome experience (although presented as an inconvenience depending on when and where).
Whoever can first correctly guess what "NRB" stands for wins a Steem Dollar 🤗
I've gone from feeling just fine, to feeling awakened and powerful.
Your inner energy goes, from running the machine that is you, to emanating from you to also energizing those who find themselves in your presence.
Your vitality lifts up the people who are open to the world all around you, and that energy has a cascading effect between you and the person receiving you; even the briefest of interactions lifts both of you to a better place than you both were just 5 seconds beforehand...
Here are the workout cards for my lifting over the 3 months of the protocol:
LEGS:
CHEST & BACK
TRICEPS & BICEPS
The name WOLVERINE is written at the top of every card to remind me to channel energy by going to battle with the weights.
When you're exhausted, getting into 'fight or flight' mode helps give you the power to press through.
Right before starting another set of squats or chin-ups, my inner voice repeated the line spoken here, between 0:10 and 0:15 ---------->
(After repeating it in my head over 100 times, it sounded far more dramatic in my mind 😂).
Those stains on the cards?
It's not blood or manatee tears.
It's the result of thinking it was a good idea to drink 8 ounces of Pomegranate juice after my workouts. The water bottle, full of red juice, leaked in my bag, and OF COURSE nearly ruined my workout history.
Fortunately, the workout results were spared, with the specific exercises listed further on down.
In 3 months there were 29 days in the gym.
8 of those days were a pretty weak showing (limited time, exhaustion, etc.)
The lifting regimen engaged a workout called
GERMAN VOLUME TRAINING
Ten sets of ten reps, between two exercises, with 2 minutes of rest (on average) in between.
In between the first 3 sets there was virtually no rest, then a rest time of up to 2 minutes towards the last 7-10 sets.
Leg day =
- Squats
- Lying Leg Curls
Chest/Back day =
- Decline Dumbell Press, semi-supinated grip
(Palms facing each other as you press up) - Chin-ups, palms facing you
Arm day =
- Parallel Bar Dips
- Incline Curls
The pace was 2 seconds pressing/pushing the weight, then 4 seconds bringing the weight back in position, with 0 seconds of rest in between.
The incredible pump you get from completing a full 10 X 10 set makes your body nearly unrecognizable from being so monstrously SWOLL. 💪😀
Counting the days of lifting on the cards, this was just 21 solid workouts over 3 months.
While the intent was to do more, this was the end result (I had planned on about 3 times that many workouts).
The testosterone blood draws, 3 months apart:
The next 2 posts get really interesting, detailing the food eaten and the supplements taken to get these results!
See how you can easily follow the regimen and (with your physician's blessing), do the same things I did, and unleash and FEEL your inner superhero!
