The Rabbit Hole

Yep totally agree, I saw a house for sale I think it was in Ireland selling in Bitcoin.
The logic I assume was that there was no tax to pay for the transaction because at the time I saw it Bitcoin wasn’t available on exchanges.

I expect today tax would be taken based on the daily exchange rate.

This is for all you lovers of self induced high pulse rates. Personally, I like to keep mine around 68…although an occasional 69 would be okay.

Ah, so no swinging from the chandeliers for you then! :grin: Whereas us fit souls can go high octane, last the distance then go again. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

It says in the article “excessive.” Getting your HR up high for seconds does not constitute excessive. “Excessive” in the context of sport means not giving your body enough time to recover. It is only in the recovery that you reap the gains.

When I pump iron, I prefer hours long sessions of sustained slow speed pumping with a burst of high frequency pumping near the end, followed by a relaxing nap, then a nice meal, then a few more reps through the evening.

There’s just no way to keep a good man down! :sunglasses:

I disagreed with (him?) so much he put me on ignore. A badge of honor. :laughing:

how do you know if someone puts you on their ignore list?

When you address them, there is never a response. Plus, he told me he was done with me.:laughing:

ahhh okay, so I think that Here2bqueer has blocked me then as I address her/it/they a few times

It is not always the case that someone has put you on IGNORE. For a scant few posters here, I simply do not reply to anything they post. That is called ignoring someone.

When you put someone on your IGNORE list, you don’t see what they posted unless someone else block quotes them in a subsequent reply. Often that jeopardizes your understanding of a conversation. I think it better to MUTE users you don’t care to read. This merely means that you will never see any notifications generated by the muted user. You will still see their replies in the thread…and can choose to scroll over them, read and ignore them, or read and reply to them, but you will never see their user name pop up in your notifications box…even for threads that you are WATCHING.

And I believe they are unable to send you a DM (Direct Message).

I have about 7 users muted, but nobody on IGNORE.

Works for me.

By the way, to totally ignore someone you know is the ultimate insult.

What on earth are you talking about? I was talking about interval training. :grin:

I think queer might fancy me. :joy::joy::joy:

And then there is someone who has it against all Brits because they hate me so much. You’re allowed one guess!

What I heard years ago from a ayurveda master as well as traditional Japanese herbalist is this.
If beads of sweat appears on your forehead, it’s time to stop the exercise.

https://www.sonima.com/fitness/fitness-articles/what-ayurveda-says-about-exercise/
people can exert themselves to an extremely high degree, but it’s not always worth it to push yourself past your limits. If you do too much, instead of just being toned and having a good bodily enthusiasm, you may become exhausted, and exhaustion can result in disease. In Western medicine, this is called Overtraining Syndrome, which can lead to a weakened immune system, among other ailments. In other words, just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.

Drinking, smoking (if you’re a smoker), sweets, food, exercise… always with moderation. That’s the key to long life.
(This doesn’t mean I practice it. Just saying.)

Good luck trying to get fit with a bit of Tai Chi or Pilates.

The fitter you are, the lower your resting HR.

There are 6 fat burning hormones, mostly activated by intense exercise. So stay fat and unfit with an overall higher risk of all cause mortality or get off your lazy arse and move?

  1. T3 is a thyroid hormone and is triggered by iodine (lowers oestrogen), selenium and bile.
  2. Growth Hormone - triggered mostly by HIIT (high intensity interval training) It is also triggered by protein, sleep and fasting.
  3. IGF-1 - intermittent fasting.
  4. Glucagon - opposes Insulin and is triggered primarily by intense exercise. Also triggered by protein.
  5. Testosterone - weight training.
  6. Adrenaline - high intensity exercise.

@robgsxr You may like this. There is an annual off road 10k running race near me and I know the course well. I think I can beat the winning time (men’s) on my bike. It may be tight. It’s all grass and gravel with hills.

Don’t know why he didn’t use a mountain bike though.

It most certainly is. :wink:

Agree bizarre choice of bike. I would of thought a decent mountain bike racer would win although he did say the record is held by a runner.
In this case you should do both before you assume you are faster on the bike :rofl:

I would be happy to time you but not join in :sweat_smile:
I’m back in the gym on Monday as my lower disc is still causing a problem.
Running is aggrevating it, so I’m starting some torso / lowerback / stomach / hamstring strengthening and stretching. As is often the case the gp and physio’s can’t suggest anything for it so back to self help.
The guy in the vid above talks about lowering inflamation in the body I will find his vids on that to add to my training regime.

ha, oh I wouldnt doubt it Jen , she probably has the hots for you, dont be surprised if she announces a trip to the UK …:rofl:

Hell, I know for sure I am faster on bike than running that course. I can hit 3 min/km-ish on gravel /grass and I am a lot slower than that running! But am I faster than the winner? I will lose a lot on the uphills but get it all back and more on the downhills.

Was your lower disc problem an injury? You’re doing the right thing strengthening that area. With anti inflammatories, they actually hinder healing of an injury. The inflammation is there for a purpose and that is to boost healing. Where inflammation is bad is where it is caused by a chemical imbalance. The body does the same thing to try to heal the damage, but it is fighting a losing battle if the cause is not addressed. No such problem where an injury is involved.

My achilles is about better now and I can walk properly. I won’t run on it probably for another couple of weeks, by which time the weather will be truly Autumnal so it will be treadmill time. Meanwhile, cycling is good.

I noticed that whatever I said to her, she always responded nicely to me, but laid into you guys. :joy:

she ignores me, ever since I called her a hypocrite on the other site

so when she visits the UK and asks to meet up for drink Jen, inquiring minds wants to know what you will say to her LOL.
