> I basically never met anybody who does regular resistance training without having some sort of pain somewhere, all the time. That kind of pain quickly subsides after relaxing your routine though. It's not chronic. The inflammation pathways aren't the same as disease state pathways.
That is simply not true. Any tendon/ligament issue will take at least 6 months.

It's amazing what + a diet of "real"/non-processed foods will do for your health.
> non-processed foods Do you really not eat bread? We've got to come up with better ways to categorize foods. At face value such a term seems to imply you should only eat raw food.
I'll eat steel cut oats, quinoa, rice, beans/lentils, etc.
But not bread.

I genuinely don't eat bread. Terrible carb source. I'll eat steel cut oats, quinoa, rice, beans/lentils, etc. But not bread.

Ive been doing 3x weekly calisthenics for about 3 years and apart from occasional overuse-tendon-soreness that clears up in about a week, ive never had any problems. In fact im way less prone to injury and an ongoing shoulder issue I had cleared up after getting better at pullups So, I disagree with you. If you take it slow and listen to your body and maintain good form youre golden.
Isn't that just crazy, you have "ongoing shoulder issue" and claim to never had any problems? It seems that people just widely overhype their lifestyle or simply get accustomed to everyday pains.
Reading your comments you seem to have a really immature attitude about excercise and you seem to be hell bent on making your point so, whatever

'...nootropic ... “Any substance purported to increase or enhance cognitive abilities." ... communities like the nootropics subreddit, which has a great begginer’s guide.' At first I thought the mispelling was intentional irony. But the leak to the guide shows that it's just unintentional irony
Also, regarding weightlifting... there was no mention about the risk of continuous muscle trauma, scar tissue build-up, nerve damage, and ligament damage.
There's one very simple "nootropic" that I've discovered many years ago and have been doing most days of the week. Buying a cup of coffee and taking a walk in nature. It makes me feel better than just coffee or just walking in nature. Another benefit is that in the days I can do this, I have something to look forward to since waking up.

Terrible advice. The muscles need blood (nutrients), and you're going to take something that vasoconstricts? You're then going to couple that with an increased heart rate? I unironically offer the opinion that half a teaspoon of creatine is a much better alternative.
> Terrible advice. The muscles need blood (nutrients), and you're going to take something that vasoconstricts? ADHD patients seem to be able to exercise just fine (and -importantly- don't seem to be suffering widespread muscle death) when on Adderall and similar. I bet folks like that are pretty glad that the body is a complex, robust system that does reasonably well in a fairly wide range of internal and external en…
So, respectifully to the studies, im calling bullshit.
