I've heard that testosterone or similar in larger quantities is required for training to lead to significant muscle growth. Don't know of anyone who's tested this, but it makes for a nice excuse to not try.

^ Testosterone is a growth-hormone. "Significant" is an awkward measure.

I just pedaled for almost 45 straight minutes and didn't feel like dying afterwards. @_@

I'm physically exhausted, that's what I'd expect from judo (no complaints) but my oppenent almost choked me by accident.
I'm doing fine but it means I have to learn to breathe and use my opponent's strength to not get exhausted so quickly.

You have highlighted a very correct thing basically its our need we should discuss this all as much as we can.
Fitness does matter a lot this article helped me glad to see it.

I want a sparring partner/training dummy so bad...

If I had time and money I'd go for karate or shorinji kenpo, to complement what I learned from judo.

...a cramp

[Cottontofu]

Talking about cramps my body aches, I must have overdid it, but it was totally worth it :3

doyogawithme.com also has some pretty good videos.

Garrett, do you happen to notice whether or not these stomach pains occur after eating certain foods? My roommate tends to get terrible stomach pains when she eats wheat... though she vehemently denies any gluten intolerance. And I get stomach pain when I eat a lot of white sugar or anything with a lot of corn syrup. Dx

trifkin, i don't think it's a stomach pain so much as a spasm of the abdominal muscles. in which case it could be a lot of things, but exercise is a good idea, or at least stretches.

Cottontofu's body: I want more food, otherwise I won't be able to produce energy for all the shit you have to do everyday. And for crying out loud get more sleep!
Cottontofu: Wait, I had 2 big sandwiches for lunch! *collapses*

[Kimiko]

Kimi's body: You don't feed me enough, so I'm going to feel sick. Ha, now you don't even feel like feeding me.
Kimi, weakly: *bluh*

The new antidepressant I'm taking worked great for my mental wellbeing, but not so much for my physical wellbeing. Nausea and general weakness. I have an appointment with my GP next week to ask for something against the nausea. Can't feed my body if I fear the food'll just come back up.
