Does anyone else feel like they are “underwater” after intense cardio? I don’t feel like my brain fog is worse (it’s always bad), but I do feel like my head is underwater and it makes me feel almost physically ill (vomit etc). I’m not sure if this is because I am out of shape, or finasteride related. My brother is equally out of shape, and he doesn’t end up feeling like this at all. I mean, it’s like I can barely hear anything the pressure in my head becomes so bad after cardio workout.
Not sure. I havent noticed. But ill keep it in mind after my next run.
I only work out once a week, because it works. I’m growing, noticably. I decided that’s all the time I wanted to put into it and why kill myself for likely less results. Most people overtrain and I know my body pretty well. I’m not into measurements, I do however take them on occasion to see what’s working. I measured my arms cold. A while later I could tell my arms looked bigger. I measured them again, cold, I know it was less than 2 months later and they measured half an inch more. I know that won’t keep up, but I do next to no specific arm work.
My nutrition is simple. I eat as much protein as I see fit, which comes strictly from food. I take amino’s 4 or 5 times a week. I take a multivitamin daily along with fish oil. I use creatine on the day I lift only.
I have sleep issues, so my sleep is less than ideal. I do the best I can. I’ve been lifting on and off for over 30 years. I’ve seen a lot. I don’t know everything and I’m always learning. What I do know pretty well is my own body. What works for me may not work for everyone. I can say almost anyone who is natural over the age of 25 and works out more than 3 times a week will at some point be fighting to maintain what they have, only because they are lifting too much. I’ve done the 5 workouts a week that were an hour or more. Sure it works, for a while. Most people would be best with one or two workouts a week. I chose one and it works for me.
I just want my shoulders back… And my arms. And dick. And balls. And sanity… Fml
Wow i worked out way too hard thursday. I felt great during the workout, but now i feel terrible. My body is wiped out.
my body is looking better now. More toned and muscular. Except my forearms and wrists and shoulders. Atleast my mental sides are basically gone.
We all want our dick, balls and sanity back. Work on your shoulders and arms for now, if you look better you’ll feel better. You may want to try some cialis to help with the dick.
As one of the long term sufferers on this site, I can tell you consuming yourself with your issues will do no good. I know, easier said than done, been there. This past year has been a huge year for us. There is finally a public awareness of our condition and actually people trying to help.
I just went through some serious shit recently, TRUST me our condition could be worse. Enjoy the things you can in life and tomorrow is one day closer to a cure.
Good advice. Im just having trouble accepting what happened, still fairly new to me. But yes, i have to stay positive when i can i guess.
Things that seem to help most: light exercise every morning, heavy exercise once a week, protein in morning, regular sleeping and eating schedule(especially meal times), meditation/reading, sobriety, positive thinking. Sounds like alot of changes, but really not hard once it becomes routine. Even normally healthy people would benefit to a routine like this. On my good days, i truly feel free of this disease.
like popping a raging hard-on via thoughts alone? those were the days. and to think i used to be so embarrassed by my random boners.
Nope. Still limp most of the time
