A Viking now I’ve had enough of of being the only simpleton to just eat meat 🤣

I hope it’s ok to post this. I’m new to the community so please delete if not allowed. I’m currently trying to do 3 full body workouts per week but I’m struggling. I’ve lost my training mojo and actually dread doing my workouts at times. Attached are screenshots of my current routines where I do 3 sets per exercise. Each workout takes about an hr which is probably part of the problem so I’m thinking of dropping back to 2 sets per exercise. What other changes would you make that might help get my training mojo back?

Most of you will have seen the frustration over the last couple of months. I have been working behind the scenes the whole time, trying to adapt to every change Skool has made to the platform. That goal has now been dropped, because I have had enough of playing the Skool game for zero return. So from December the sole focus is content, which means classroom information and videos. Fact is, that is what you joined for and I am grateful to @Richard Clark who pointed out what was and is still lacking.😁 I am posting this now so nobody gets caught out, and so you have time to decide what you want to do. On December 2nd, which happens to be my 36th birthday (I'm sure you can work it out) , the way whwido /we-do/ works changes for good. The aim is to clean up the space regardless of member total, protect what we have built, and look after the people who actually show up and take part. Right now there are two kinds of inactive member in here, and both are affected. Group 1: the lurkers You log into Skool, but you never post, never ask a question and never speak in the chat. Some of you just prefer to watch in silence, and up to a point that is fine. The trouble is that a health and performance room only works when people share information, form checks, meals, app logs, questions and progress. There is a darker side too. Some silent accounts have joined purely to scrape routines, lift content and quietly message members behind the scenes. That ends now, so we are keeping real contributors only. Group 2: the ghosts You joined the free section to potentially fix your training, sort your nutrition, rebuild joints, build muscle, or get straight answers on supplements, peptides and medication. Then Skool was new to you and you simply stopped logging in. You have not posted, commented or sent a chat message since this announcement. If you don't start showing up, you'll be removed with everyone else who went quiet. Take this as the nudge to get back on track and back in the room.

This is the most repeated claim in low-carb and carnivore spaces, and it needs to be taken apart carefully, because half of it is true. Researchers added 50 g of fat to a standard breakfast. They measured the next 6 hours, then the next 18. Fat oxidation: no increase. Energy expenditure: no increase. The extra fat: stored. It made no difference whether the subject was aerobically fit. (Bennett et al., 1992, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition; R§26) This wasn't a one-off. Three years earlier, a respiration-chamber study added 106 g of fat per day. Twenty-four-hour energy expenditure: unchanged. Fat oxidation: unchanged. Energy balance tracked fat balance at r = 0.96, and didn't track carbohydrate balance at all. (Schutz et al., 1989, same journal; R§26) Two independent experiments, different labs, three years apart, same answer. At maintenance, eating fat does not raise the oxidation of your own fat. No deficit was asking for it. Now the half that's true. A high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet does raise the rate at which your body can oxidise fat. Within days. In a 33-study analysis of athletes, all 30 that measured it found the rate up by 28% to 200%. (R§29) And one crossover showed it's the fat doing it, not the missing carbohydrate. So the machinery retools fast. What doesn't change is how much body fat you lose at the same energy. That's set by the deficit, and by fat eaten minus fat oxidised. In a metabolic ward, an 80%-fat diet at the same energy slowed body-fat loss. (Hall et al., 2016; R§27) Rate up, balance unchanged. Two different quantities, and the argument only works if you keep them apart. There's also a mechanism working directly against you here, and almost nobody mentions it. Ketones suppress lipolysis through a receptor called HCA2. Tested head-to-head, ketone infusion abrogates growth-hormone-driven lipolysis. When ketones are high, the brake overrides the accelerator. Ketones made from your own fat throttle appropriately; you drew down the store to make them.

Welcome in. whwido /we-do/ is a science & experience-based strength method with one rule: You feel the muscle you're training — joints aligned, perfect form. The name means Why, How, What, I Do — and the whole aim is to make it what you do: running your own training for life, without needing me. Free: you can look around, meet the members, read The Method in the Classroom, and ask me anything in Ask Shaun. I answer every question there, the same day or within one day where possible. Paid members get the how: The full multi-phase programme, from your first session to training on your own. The app, which sets your load from what you actually did, session by session, so you stop stalling. The demonstrations, lift by lift — going up now, the first ones later this month. Building a Library of Giants — adding real sources, credited to the people who did the work, not me pretending to know everything. Paid places will be capped at 150 or even less, so I can keep that promise. This is not a money-making venture for me. So the price rises as they fill, and whatever you join at, you keep for life: Paid places 1 to 30 — $40 a year Paid places 31 to 50 — $60 a year Paid places 51 to 80 — $80 a year Paid places 81 plus — $99 a year Already paying? Thank you. Your current rate is locked, and nothing here changes it. So I can actually help you, please answer these three below: 1. Your situation and goal — beginner, plateaued, or training around a condition? 2. What's stopped you from getting stronger before? 3. The one thing you're most unsure will work for you? 4. Drop them in a comment and say hello — tell us who you are and what you're training for.
