I had a really bad case of hyperthyroidism, a condition that affects virtually every cell in your body.
It speeds of heart beat, hair loss, finger nail loss, increases body temperature, causes insomnia, rapid weight loss. oh and hunger. like eat 6-8 times a day and still be hungry. some new level of hunger i've honestly never felt previously.
I've been around 155 pounds for about the past 15 years of my life, and in 2 weeks i dropped to 125. also my muscles (specifically the thighs) atrophied to the point where i could no longer walk up a flight of stairs.
I went to the doctor, long story short, ate a radiation laced pill, which essentially knocked out my thyroid.
I have to wait a few more weeks before doing blood wrok to see if i'm hypo, hyper or luckily normal (20%).
I'm back to 145, and started working out. It's so agitating because I used to be in relatively good shape. But currently every night when i go to bed, my legs are effing sore from just walking during the day.
I only have dumbbells in my gym, so i've been doing light dumbbell press, goblet squat, lat pull down, one arm rows, some crunches.
it's so fucking infuriating because less is more when it comes to working out. yea u can segment all the diff muscle groups into 5-6 days, but for me (and prob 95% of people) it's prob more efficient to work out 3 times a week to let your body fully rest.
Gains are looking decent, the hyperthyroidism had one silver lining: it burned all my fat. so any marginal muscle gains are more pronounced.
but i guess im getting restless and want to work out harder, but working out harder would be resting.
Old Big_Rob_48 from back in like 2009 when I last played. But I have done a lot of things and one thing I found that is pretty cool is...
MACA.
I scoured the internet for a long time to find the best overall sexual supplement for a person health wise and performance wise and it is hands down maca root. Here is what it does, not only does it increase sex drive, but it increases load size by 50-100% ..... so kinda makes you feel manly to say the least, haha. It takes a few days to kick in, then you jizz twice as much. It is an adaptogenic herb, and functions on the hormones, so it has to be cycled, kind of like steroids. Maybe one month on, one month off kind of thing.
Myself and my friends have tried it and it is no joke. The "Now Foods" regular brand is the best.
Don't mess around with "high quality" or something that says "gelatinized" as these "purifying" processes usually mess with the product more than help it. The bottle says 500mg twice daily, but every forum I read and through personal testing I have found around 3500mg or 3.5g per day (7 pills) to be the sweet spot for most people, and you can split dose this preferably. Its also dirt cheap anyway.
And to finish up this fun sexual enhancement. Yes it is fun to talk about supplements, but I have found that nothing matters as much as having low stress levels and high energy. In fact, I usually use my sex drive as a barometer to check myself on whether or not I need to make changes in my life.
So hit me back, just to chat, sincerely yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan
a lot of the time if im wait-listed for my local nl holdem game i'll play limit holdem or limit plo hi lo. the stakes for these games range from 3/6-4/8 with kill pots that increase the blinds 50% for the following hand. I was just wondering if that even if the player pool is the baddest of the bad, with a 4$ rake is the game slightly winnable or should you expect to be just losing money slowly over time with these limit games?
remind me never post another graph - haven't won many showdowns since I posted that...
i remember having some month long downswings before, etc, and having them randomly here and there, but not really sure how many hands these usually last in cashgame poker. Can you guys let me know what to expect with the variance of grinding 6max longterm?
My sister stole a large sum of money from my dad. Not only has she not moved out, but my dad is dishing out more money for her, in complete contrast to what he said he was going to do. Not only this, she wrecked her car, that he was paying for, which only had one more payment left on it. Oh, wait, she wasn't the one driving it. She's no longer getting any inheritance, though. That is, until my parents die. To show they love me. I wonder if they realize what inheritance is.
Which brings me to my next point: The vehicle she's now driving is the same vehicle I need to start up my little venture this month.
don't want to overhype the relationship between CTE and soccer but here are some key points
-CTE is a brain degenerative disease linked with violent hits to the head and now any repeated hits to the head
-boxers, US footballers, hockey players, rugby players and soccer players have all been found with CTE
-soccer players head through practice and in game 1000-1500 times a year
-this soccer player started heading since age 3, most start around 8-10
-Dr. Anthony Alessi UCONN neurology researcher, shuns any hits to the head no matter how soft/light until 18
-heading a soccer ball is around 20g's the equivalent of hitting a wall with a car at ~20 miles an hour

Hello LP's it has been a long time since my last post, recently I have received the notice that I won a scholarship, so it is official I´m moving to Vancouver, BC.
I have a lot of things to know about the city, and how the living will be. I started searching for a good place to live in with my wife, of course I want to spend the less money I can in this area, knowing that Vancouver is a very expensive city, we would like save the most money we can.
Recently I called to an apartment which fits most of the things that we need for just 900 cad, and it's amazing, near to UBC which is the universty I will go.
The bad news, the apartment rate doesn't include wireless connection, I've been searching on internet and I saw a lot of companies, and I really don't know which ones are the most reliable, so if you can give me some tips, I will aprecciate it.
In the other hand, we need a cell phone provider, which one has the best cell phone plans?
Please think that we are new to the country, and our incomes are just for the basic stuff.
One last question!, Is it a good idea to bring our car?, some people who lived there tell us that in most of the cases we don't need it, is that true? please give me some tips!.
will only post graph now, but I will write about my month later
overall: beat regs, lost to fishs, got 1 coach session, some things makes sense now, connected the dots, discover that some people who play high suck, feeling confident, but not happy with how I perform, anon tables are rigged, tilted a bit, didnt play as much as I should, not going to gym as often as I should, my house is a mess and Im too lazy to clean, lunch is barbecue dinner cupnoodles, spent too much in things I dont need ( xbox one ), but I can feel the EVOLUTION!
