Wrestling is a little uncommon in catholic countries, I've found. Probably an aversion to homo shit, so catholic countries usually have more boxing than grappling sports

i.e. mexico, ireland etc.

i did judo that's pretty similar

Very cool, do you still do it? I would have mentioned that too but I think it's even rarer than bjj or wrestling. Very cool sport though, wish I picked it up. Very not gay grappling art too

its pretty practical when you can put someone on the ground without really hurting them

You've never had trouble putting on mass, but do you think it would have helped, even if marginally, to consciously add in extra calories to that end?

Just drink olive oil

I suppose if you were having trouble putting down the calories you need. Honestly don't know much about them though. I have a friend who went from beanpole to putting on a lot of mass and being fairly built after 12mths. He takes creatine pre and protein post and his diet is pretty varied but hearty, lots of carbs and protein

I don't know a huge amount about nutrition either tbh, just what I've picked up here and there and have noticed a positive change in myself. I naturally tend toward 16hr fast as well so not sure how that plays into things

Just the Noddles?

Where the fuck are my sauce and meatballs

Fucking gay

Add sauce and meatballs, bitch

I know what to eat now

Spinach is great, I don't really taste it so I just use that instead of lettuce (which I don't taste either)

I have it in almost everything

If it's a German scientist saying it then you know it's probably true

Unless if it is a political issue then it probably isn't

"Some of the participants were given placebos, others were given ecdysterone capsules containing the equivalent of up to 4 kilograms (or 8.8 pounds) of raw spinach a day. "

"During the study, which was supported by the World Anti-Doping Authority (WADA), those taking the supplement saw their physical strength increase three times as much as their placebo-taking counterparts."

It's like creatine then

It is found in natural supplements and in order to get enough of it to the point where it benefits you, you have to take an unnatural amount

Which is terrible for your kidneys

The Jewish bodybuilding organizations say to take 20g of creatine for the first week which is like eating 20 pounds of steak per day

Which is terrible for your kidneys

Then they say to take 5g to maintain that after the first week

I'd imagine that taking that much ecdysterone is probably bad for you too
