He may need to add salt to his water bottle

electrolytes != salt

 

[Son Goku]

electrolytes != salt

Not quite, and adding salt to a bottle isn't the move either.

Electrolytes are "salts" but adding table salt isn't usually a solution (no pun intended) unless you're hyponatremic.

"Common electrolytes include:

• Calcium
• Chloride
• Magnesium
• Phosphorus
• Potassium
• Sodium"

Most Americans and Canadians have more than enough salt and sodium in their diets; he's either not used to the caffeine, took too much for the day, or his electrolytes are off.

When the same thing happens to me, it's usually my potassium or magnesium levels that are lacking.

Yeah I agree " !=" is the programming way of saying "not equal" cause there is no specific key for "not equal"..... would be rare for sodium to be the missing compound.

Its a part of it.

Tracking, but that's why I said not quite. Salt ≠ electrolytes and Salt = electrolytes all at the same time.


Again it is possible that sodium and/or chloride levels to be low, but not likely, unless you're downing two gallons of water a day on a low salt diet while simultaneously sweating a lot.

Folks ITT tryna "challenge" the Great Sage while drinking salt water and not eating carbs.

No you don't.


You need to focus on the program and stage you're in right now and not program or a stage you might ascend to in the future.


Besides, "literature" is only so useful. "Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do.” Reading about things like autoregulation is useless; it won't help you actually do it.


As a novice, focus on novice things. Linear progression. Making lifting an integral part of your life. Developing good motor patterns, etc.

Plenty of folks outchea, including folks ITT, have advanced lifter egos with noob lifter lifts.





Enjoy your life outside the gym, keep sticking to your 3x weekly workouts and take advantage of the fact that everything lifting-related only gets more difficult/strenuous/time-consuming from here on out.

What are 10 down 225 squats 2x?

 

[Starski]

Step 1) Walk up to the bench with 245 on

Step 2) take off the 10’s

Step 3) fail to get 225 off the damn bar

Step 4) Drop weight too 185

Step 5) Not sure how it happens but Brehs face is in absolute shock and the bar is on the “I shouldn’t be doing this weight” hook.

Step 6) look around in panic and power walk away.
