Gym increases cortisol?

 

[White_Bwoi]

yeah, when you stop giving a fuck about what you "can't control" (water) & at the same time do what you supposed to do (leanmaxxing) it's

Yep, this is why you have to do extremely low volume if you weight lift.

is "low volume high intensity" the rule to follow then ?

if you do low volume routines you can spam exercises more often and make almost as much gains as high volume.

just be careful, zero "junk" volume

e.g upper body
do one warm up of each and 2 working sets
2 sets bench
2 sets dumbbell incline
2 sets pull ups
2 sets bend over row/cable row machine
2 sets curls bicep
2 sets tricep
3 sets side delts/forearms

Be out of the gym in 30-45 minutes. If you are in the gym an hour or more you cortisol is going to be cooked

that's just powerlifting and is also a cortisol max. not as bad a typical gymcelling stuff though

You need low volume, medium/high frequency and medium intensity (6-12 reps, 2 sets, 4 compounds 3 acceries)(

Can meditation or breathing exercises help to reduce cortisol or is it cope ?

Instead of 12 sets of chest on Monday, you do 4 sets on Mon/Wed/Fri
Same volume, but spread out = better results

 

[autistic_tendencies]

Meditating and living in the present moment is goated

 

[piec]

no its not

push pull legs is a meme, do upper-lower or full body split. its not hard just cut down the sets and reps and go to failure

It becomes easier once you learn how to lift to actually be able to

2 sets for each muscle?

 

[Troglodyte452]

dont u need cortisol for T production? or did i get it twisted

 

[Deleted member 126320]

2 sets for each muscle?

I mean if you are doing full body you can do 1 compound for upper, 1 compound for lower, 2 accessories and one full body movement.

e.g
- Squat/Lunge or deadlift
- Bench Press
- Curls/lat pull down
- tricep extension
-etc
