HEY WORKOUTS / GOODBYE GAINS

One of the most asked questions within the human mind that belongs to a trainee is: should I workout when feeling tired? The question should be 1 or 2 on the most frequent asked questions, but since people ask about Protien gains, Creatine amounts and wich Preworkout is strongest.. The question is left alone and never fully understood.

In the last post I wrote a short article about the Circadian Rhythm and its effect on the body and performance. In todays post I will try to dig into the question, whether it is smart to workout when you feel unmotivated, tired, and lazy.

First off let me state that (Becoming Human Again) supports a natural understanding of the body and its overall health. Exercise and mental-induced tiredness is a built up of either accumulated damage/fatigue which then transforms itself into being unmotivated, exhausted and burnt-out. In todays modern day fashion, men are trying to achieve a muscular athletic body, due to this invasive thought about being perfect, people tend to force their body into workouts even when feeling tired.

The introduction of preworkouts and caffeine to kickstart heartrate, adrenaline, nor-adrenaline, to furfill the task of a productive workout is normal now adays. The two last hormones ramp up heartrate and bloodpressure waking up the body and thereby creating a superficial state of being awake. A workout that would have been bad, suddenly becomes strong and effective! You might actually feel alittle stronger since your hormones and heartrate are ramped beyond natural. Eventually this state feels like a fight or flee situation, wich always results in cortisol collapses in the end.

- If you have ever been in a true fight or flee situation, you know what I am talking about. After the sudden rush of hormones and energy, you are left fatigued, tired and extremely exhausted. The same response is often triggered by preworkouts and their following crash! Blood suger goes from 100 to 40, heartrate drops dramatically, bloodpressure gets low, cortisol sky rockets... A continued use of preworkouts also fries up your stimulant receptors, thereby making you immune to the usual amounts and forcing you to consume more. In general preworkouts used over a period of 10days will slowly start to affect your everyday life, introducing everyday fatigue, feeling tired, loss of appetite and mood-swings. I mentioned circadian rhythm in the top of this post, and preworkouts affect this a lot. A lot of people lose quality sleep, waking up many times during their sleep.... The results is dramatic.

Combined with fatigued introduced to overtraining, receptor burnout, mental tiredness and everything written above that preworkouts cause, you now also welcome bad sleep wich makes things worse. We all know that, the body recovers during sleep. Testosterone drops, cortisol skyrockets and now you are either depressed and/or stressed. These two words are not from mental causes but by physiological. You have now produced a state, where you are losing what you worked for.. Gains....

To reverse this problem, preworkouts have to be discontinued. Apon doing this people will often feel what they have created. Tiredness, Depression, Fatigue, Unmotivatedness and workouts suddenly become horrible. Testosterone is low, Cortisol is high... Shitting out your gains. It will take atleast a month to reset everything! This done through proper nutrition, rest, detox, SLEEP, and relaxing from stressfull things.

So what went wrong? Well, you did not listen to what your body was telling you. You forced artificial chemicals into your system, corrupting a natural cycle of staying true to yourself. As in everything in life, artificial products will cause problems in the long wrong especially when done to indure something that the natural state cannot handle.... It has been accumulated, and the lit exploded. Once not covered, the truth unfold................ AND YOU FEEL LIKE CRAP.


 * After my cancer survival, going through one of the roughest chemos, 2 major surgeries and having one testicle. I am today stronger then I was with 6-7years of strait workout, using preworkouts, creatine, protein, caffeine, vitaminspills, fishoil, hormone boosters, estrogen surpressors, fatburners and crandy... Today I am vegetarian, I workout when my body tells me to, I do not consume human made products.... The results is a stronger body, strength, mass, lower BF% and a more stable and energetic person. How? I wanted to become human again... Listening to what is. And what is, is you.
