How can we build muscle w/o losing life expectancy?

[ascension!]

- Train, but give your body the necessary recovery capacity.
- Make sure to improve the quality of your sleep.
- Do some intermittent fasting to offset that anabolism with some catabolism.
- Increase your testosterone, but in a natural and healthy way.
- Don't overdo protein, or if you're going to do it, do it in a short period and use mechanisms that help compensate for this excess for your body. For example, consuming antioxidants like resveratrol to increase sirtuin activity or taking cold showers to increase AMPk activity.
-Avoid consuming body mass gainers, which generally have maltodextrin as their main ingredient, a substance that raises blood glucose in our body more quickly than refined sugar and, on top of that, has no nutritional value and negatively affects your life expectancy.

From my understanding, muscle mass only becomes a detriment to your health when you start carrying excessive amounts of weight which puts stress on your heart.

Which is not a concern for natty lifters who stay lean since even peak muscularity then rarely results in a high BMI.

Nope. Best reduction in mortality from 20 FFMI and onwards.

 

[ascension!]

Mortality begins when we exceed the recommended body mass index within normal weight. With which, when we are overweight, even if it is muscle, we can negatively impact our life expectancy and increase our mortality. Up to normal weight numbers, the amount of muscle you have does not usually negatively impact our body if we build it in a healthy way and in order not to negatively affect our life expectancy, if we are going to exceed protein and/or calories because we want to build muscle faster, it is recommended to do it by doing an intermittent fast (16h = fasting / 8h = eating) they usually allow muscle building on the one hand, but on the other hand to compensate for that caloric excess and recycle some of the old proteins.

that's a part of it but the main part is higher daily calories=a lower life span

I’m not saying going Zyzz is any way ideal but l do think longevity is severely overrated. After all living long is a feminime trait, androgens literally weaken your immune system. Make the most out of your prime instead of adding 5 years to your suffering when you won’t even be able to bath yourself alone without help at age 80

Plus if you're just using roids to looks max you don't have to use retarded dosages

As natural T levels start to drop off your natural ability to hold onto muscle diminishes year by year which leads to a myriad of problems, fat gain for one. TRT can greatly enhance life over 30

This is tera cope it is called the 'obesity paradox' and has been disproven, one retarded study has now been ciculated more than the hundreds that have a different conclusion jfl, the healthiest bmi iirc is 20.5 when you take out the other cofounding variables. Those studies get skewed by people who lose weight when they are dying. Also highest lifetime bmi is a good metric as it acounts for people who have been fat in their lives at some point and removes the bias of losing weight before dying.

BMI is bullshit

I believe OP is referring to the acute stress of training, not just the chronic stress as a result of increased weight.

 

[Curlbrahhh]

Building muscle naturally actually increases longevity
