DAY 01 of NoFap

Its not that Iam new to the NoFap journey, the longest unbroken streak of mine had been nearly 90 days and second best 69, this time though my target is at least 720 days without even porn and soft porn or that consideration. Also, there are other things which I will be including for my self growth like screen time limitation, extreme workout, and proper sleep schedule. Currently, Im under the sun which is has played a vital role in keeping my energy up even during fap sessions, in my opinion, if someone has relapsed and regretting and want to undo the damage, I would recommend him to perform penance via 1 hour of direct sun and 15 minutes of meditation, you can consider this equivalent to 1 fap session. My current workout stats are 410 pushups in 20 minutes on 2.3 deficit full ROM, 210 pullups with extra 10 kg weight in 20 minutes and single leg squat with extra 13 kg 170 reps in 20 minutes. I will update the stats after a couple of months. Physical stats do not matter to me since Im ...

My take on Masturbation and No FAP

This will be my first post after a gap of almost 2 years, the reason for the gap being that I lost interest in blogging and also, I devoted a year into UPSC CSE prep, ultimately failing miserably in my very first attempt. Now, coming back to the context, the single most things which I want to alter in my life is to recover the amount of semen I have released knowingly (masturbation, not taking into consideration nightfall), there is no scientific explanation from my side on why I want to do it, but believe when I say this. I started the act when I was in 5th Grade, and since then lost glow on my face and the magnetism which was inherent in me i.e. I used to get attention from people. I lost my physical vitality due to it, though I was addicted to working out, this act halved my capacity. The damage my brain incurred from it is even more gruesome, I atteined forgetfulness out of nowhere and foggy brain was a daily occurance. Lower back pain and rib cage pain after multiple fap sessions ...

How I did grow my calves from 12.2" to 13"

 Back, Legs and Calves have been my weakest part of all body parts since I started training. My Back has been primarily weak because from the age of 12 to until joining the gym, I used to focus only on pushing movements like the overhead press, different types of pushups and some core work. But, with increased focus on pulling movements I literally improved my back musculature a total three sixty degree from scrawny to muscular. Coming the the leg muscles, I had strong and veiny legs but they they lacked size. So, I focused a lot on compound heavy lifting like back squats, front squats, sumo deadlifts, conventional deadlifts, romanian deadlifts, deficit deadlifts, snatch grip deadlifts, good mornings et cetera. And they grew to a great extent. But, coming to the calves, I used to train them for 8 sets every week at the end of leg workout. And they were scrawny as hell. And there came a time when I was so insecure to wear shorts anywhere but inside at home. I decided to train them t...

Should you bathe after workout?

Bathing after an intense workout feels very relaxing and calming, but there's an other side to it. I had inculcated swimming into my daily life before a workout and the result wasn't satisfying, the combination of cold and heat doesn't go in the right direction. So, coming back to the actual topic, avoid bathing suddenly after a workout, instead wipe yourselves with a towel immersed with Luke warm water for the same relaxation. Bathing in cold water may result in adverse rhythms in your body.

Can you grow your wrist size?

Image
The skinny wrists are very frustrating and, the curious thing is people with decent and above average muscle gains after years of training get utterly upset by having those skinny wrists which is believed to be purely genetic and cannot be developed with training. My take on the subject is a bit different from popular perception. I have had the privilege of a skinny frame and have embarked on the journey of increasing my wrist size from 5.9 inches to 6.3 inches within a span of two years. I have diligently and regularly followed the following things- * Include a heavy compound movement in each day of your training. * Get in the habit of re racking heavy weights by lifting, not rolling. * Train forearms 3x a week, not more. * Use free weights instead of machines. * Do not use straps or gym gloves. * Hang daily for about 30 seconds. * Improve your pull-ups.

Is the cringe in and around creatine justified?

Creatine is considered to be the most safe and researched supplement in the fitness and sports industry. In sports, especially in sprinting, it used mainly for power and explosiveness. In bodybuilding, it is considered by bodybuilders during their bulk season and nowadays, it has become so popular that every gym goer aspires or actually consumes it. The only function of this supplement is to increase the ATP cells in the body and hold water in the muscles making the illusion of fuller muscles, that is it. People consider it to be some sort of magic which would make them hit PR after PR. No, even our own body produces creatine and we get some small amount of creatine from non vegetarian sources as well. One can get the same results with the non usage of creatine as well, the only thing it will demand is a lot of hard work and determination. Personally, I have used a box of creatine and the results weren't that great as it is famous for. In the end I want to advise that anything that...
