Hmmm...5 Leaves For Shaheedi Degh - Marijuana Or Not?

[InderjitS]

What about the ENORMOUS discrepancy in the physicality of life a few generations ago compared to now. If you were a mistri - you'd be sawing trees and drilling holes without electric tools. If you was a farmer, you'd have no tractor/combine harvester. You'd be carrying around your tools without cars/trucks. Singhs were famous for shockingly long swift marches. Even being a 'housewife' would be laborious with all the churning for malai/butter. All of this under a blazing sun. The only people in Sikh society that didn't live very physical lives would be the mercantile class.

We expend a tiny amount of energy compared to our recent ancestors but eat more - add to this some sort of genetic predisposition to storing fat in the gut area a lot of us have - it doesn't take a genius to figure out where that is going to take us. The examples are all around.

A result of over eating mostly because Indians have this odd fear that they MUST eat everything aforementioned by JKV that comes into the home through functions is not only obesity but a long list of associated life changing symptoms.

I've been watching a lot of youtube vids of people who seriously train (like the Hodgetwins) they can get away with eating a lot more junk because they counter balance it with hard physical training.

We could get away with eating more crap if people did a hell of a lot more physical activity.

I didn't read this thread, but this is true for people who eat within their goal caloric intake range. For powerlifters of that weight they intake a lot of calories (some of them do abuse roids, but I'm sure the hodgetwins are natural).

The reason why they can eat starches and white breads is because their metabolism is adapted because they're athletes. They utilize the energy while doing high intensity workouts and overall they still hit their target calorie range. A new person needs to forget about everything and simply track their weight in a notebook while logging exactly how much they're eating with calories.

May take time to read other pages of this topic, but seems to have diverted a lot lol

If you look closely you will notice a lot of our people suffer from central obesity which means skinny arms and legs but big belly.

The pic shown of the two men is a perfect example of this.

This is a marker for diabetes, heart disease etc.

Thing is, with the Hodgetwins, they eat strategically. So you could bet that they would do have done some intermittent fasting from the night before, and then had a serious training session, then maybe not eat for a few more hours and then do something like the above.

Yeah, don't know how the thread diverged, but I feel that all the points regarding imbibing marijuana had been made by now.

Yeah intermittent fasting works. I'm currently doing that, but heard about it a while back mentioned by the hodgetwins.

Meal timing is also really important when you're working out as well.

Currently have an injury so I can't lift for another month or so and am just cutting.

These things can come and go. Best to be careful about aggravating things though - or 'snapping your <banned word filter activated> up' as the Hodgetwins would say.

I had this shoulder issue for like 2 years once! And I used to love training shoulders. (Thankfully it's shorted now, but I'm more careful with any shoulder exercises). Have to work around these things as best you can.

Paji, How did your shoulder sort out?

First thing is that I stopped training it for a good while. Then I'd also apply a hot and cold shower to the troubled area, meaning that I'd put it under hot water for a minute or two and then suddenly switch to cold for a minute or so, then back to hot and so forth. It seemed to help recovery. I can't remember where I picked that tip up from? I'd also gentle massage the area from time to time.

Then when I did start to train shoulders again, I started with the lightest weight possible. And stopped if the pain ever got 'weird'.

Thing is, when you are really young and train, you can sometimes be real stupid and just carry on training even though you are feeling some funky pains (some macho bull-ish), when you get a bit more wiser you start to realise that 'Hang on! That's actually my body trying to tell me something! I'd better listen!' lol

Now, if I feel that twinge of pain that signifies that injury is resurfacing (when training) I stop that exercise right there, and don't carry on with it, giving my shoulders a rest, whereas in the past I might have just carried on - like a right bewakoof. I usually go and do another exercise then.
