***The Exercise Challenge***

I know it's not good. But I can't help it sometimes. Yes, it's the dopamine that do that good feeling. But on the other side, after orgasm you have a cocktail in your brain, that really destroy it. You don't have that while watching porn or masturbate. Orgasm is a Cumulation of dopamine spike, if it hits you , you would be recovering for 2 weeks. Just read about it. Masturbation is also making some substances and it give you MORE dopamine than just watching porn.
If I could change in my PMO tracker I would remove P if I would fail, but you have to choose all three at once. So I'm really more concernet about masturbation and orgasm which is the very key for me.
And besides I'm dealing with it pretty good. I'm less and less interested in those things. I haven't masturbate for 27 days so I think I am honest. I just have my weaker times, for example today I haven't watched anything yet and I don't plan to do it. All I can get is boner, I can't edge just from watching porn, so you're wrong in that thing.
We have all the same aim, I don't want M O and P , but ask yourself what is most charming your body from those three? Cheers.

 

and besides, you need dopamine, no matter where you would get it. When you don't have enough dopamine you'll gain Parkinsons disease for example. That's why you have night pollutions or you want to see some colors, or eat something sweet. It spikes it. And it's not all that bad , since without dopamine you would be sick.

 

Currently making exercise programs for work, so had to test one I made.
40 min full body calisthenics plus some extra I do every day.
And biking to and from work.

 

Maybe switch it up a bit? Try something new? Something you haven't done before? Just to spice things up and make things more exciting.

 

20 minutes calisthenics. Not much but still some!

 

a shy workout but good as a start ..
20 min running
50 pushups
32 bunch dips
15 pullups
10 dips

 

Get it in Bros

 

Today's exercise:

 

This is always the hardest part about having a workout partner--the accountability is great, but you end up talking for several minutes between sets.

Chest day for me this morning: Incline bench / flat bench / weighted dips / and then an ab-circuit of decline situps, weighted knee raises, and plaaaaaaaaaank.

Oh--and I had a KILLER leg day yesterday. For years, I've had a really jacked-up lower back. I used to be able to do huge squats, but I herniated a disc once (when I 24--I'm 40 now) and I haven't been able to do squats the same since. I had to adjust by using much, much lighter weight and even then I would still occasionally tweak my back. Anyway, I finally ponied up and bought a highly-reviewed weight belt on Amazon--HOLY CRAP, what a difference. I felt strong and was able to squat weight I haven't done in a long time. I used to always look at people with weight belts and I could never understand how they were supposed to help--but I totally get it now. I feel embarrassed that it took me this long to try one. Better late than never, though.

 

Upper body day for me today.

3 sets, 15 reps of:

Lateral pull downs | chest press | chest press with incline | hanging leg raises | seated pulley rows | crunches machine | straight arm pull downs | triceps push downs | six ways | 2 x 1 minute plank | standing obliques | bicep curls | - aaand I think that was that.

 

Today, I did pushups, situps, and pullups. Every other day I'm running. For some reason, the 'muscle' days give me a surge of unwanted, unproductive anger. Been awhile since I regularly worked out; so maybe that'll pass.

 

I try to get to the gym as early as possible, because after the clock hits noon, there is no way I'm going to go. Waaaay too many people in the evening and I'm waaay too tired.

 

my workout today ..
5 sets pull ups / between 10-6 reps
6 sets bunch dips / more than 50 reps
6 sets push ups / more than 50 reps
going slowly

 

I mean, I'm sold. I never understood how they were supposed to work, but now I totally get it. You have to cinch the belt as tight as possible, so it gives your core something to resist against--that's what helps stabilize your spine. Check out this article:

In a nutshell, I'm in 100% agreement that belts are a huuuuuge help when you're lifting at near maximal effort and you don't want spinal flexion. I wear a belt when I'm doing squats always, no matter what, just because I've had back issues in the past and I don't want to push it. But if you're squatting a weight that you can do 8 reps of without too much trouble, you probably don't need it as much. I'm on a weight lifting plan that has me doing 4-6 reps at most ... so I'm using a lot more weight than I normally would. Basically, if you're planning on finding out what your 1-rep max is on squats, I'd make sure you have a weight belt for that.

Today was back day for me:

Pull-ups / Seated rows / T-bar rows / Pullover machine / Renegade rows (where you're basically doing a pushup while holding dumbbells, then bring one dumbbell up at a time, like a one-arm row).

 

What are six ways?

I've heard the phrase 'six ways to Sunday', but I'm pretty sure that's not the same thing.

 

I'll join you and take the challenge to start tomorrow( I'm getting ready for bed now) to do some exercise every day of my 90 day reboot. It's been so long since I consistently exercised that I need to renew the habit. Good going.
