We're different animals. When I don't train, my motivation goes down. I don't feel primed. After ceasing training, I still sweat a lot, but it is stinky sweat. I don't feel like training anymore. Exercise releases endorphins, induces fat burning, increases glycogen storage. It also improves...

4am

3am. Is this normal, or am I weird? How does everyone deal with no activity?

I woke up at 7am and forced myself not to exercise. It is 1:15 am.

I find that I'm tensing up a lot in my shoulders arms and back. I can't relax without exercise.

Let me restate that. Is the goal of strategic deconditioning to decondition the system or to decondition the individual muscles? General health & conditioning will obviously be adversely affected by SD. Does this contribute to the desired state? Is the desired state untrained muscles or...

Loss of sex drive, irritability, dry mouth. I guess I can see how if I had friends or a job how SD might work out.

I listen to my body. This has always worked for me, so I really dislike HST routine. Aside from that, I determine how many sets to do by instinct. It is usually 1-4 heavy sets if I get warmed up. Warmup takes 0-30 minutes. Sometimes I am warm walking in, sometimes I do not warm up at all...

SYmptoms: Bad posture, bad demeanor. Unbalanced. Poor circulation. THis is telling me to go exercise.

#### you all. I hate this. Today is my very first day with no exercise at all. I will continue with it, but I'm going to leave this up here so I can remind myself of how awful this is. I am getting fatter already. I think I may be all the way back up to 8% bf by the time I'm done. I feel...

Yeh. THat explains all the "must have faith" crapola in blade's article. Logic and reason out the window, it's time for BS! :D :D :D

Can't I use the word D A M N? Cause in my last post, I used it but it got changed to D A N G. What's with the prefs for this forum soft? Someone set it to "bible-thumper" or what?

I've been doing yoga. It feels good. The level of relaxation I acheive helps to keep me from wanting to attack. I know this isn't really SD. I'll probably take a little longer to SD because of it. I noticed that I am really sore now. dang, I never got sore before! I guess I built up a tolerance...

Unless you're talking about intermuscular fat, I disagree. Losing subcutaneous fat will make the person look like he did gain size. When the person loses skin fat and retains (or gains) muscle, the muscle will appear larger, not smaller. The person will look more muscular and people will...

jsraaf, PETA stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. And I support them.

Determined by an individual's maximum weight loads? How does one determine the level of conditioning attained and how does this factor in to the duration of his SD? This author continues to sermon about how the author is right and that the reader must have "faith". A simple...

I think you're right. I don't think I'll lose that much muscle. I'm going to ditch all weights and running, but I'll still walk and I'm doing yoga. I feel like the teacher told me I couldn't go out to recess for 7 days. calcineurin and MAPKs What are calcineurin and MAPKs ?

Just sit and do nothing for a whole week? That sounds so awful and makes me very sad to think about it. I think I will feel like crap and lose a lot of strength and size, perhaps not immediately, but soon thereafter. It will take a while to build up the strength and then eventually the size...

I want to keep in shape during SD. I would like to do calisthetics, run, do Yoga, and do some weights with high reps, superset/giant-set type of training. Are any parts of this bad? Should I really try to minimize activity? I love to get a pump and I love to do the hot/cold in the shower...

To answer the question about on or off days, I'd say to try HIIT on it's own at first. Monitor yourself for symptoms of overtraining. I have a strong propensity to become overtrained from HIIT, so I have to tell myself to just quit after about 30 minutes, or slow it down a bit.
