12 to 30 tons of Carbon upfront to build a new EV car=9390 miles at 20 mpg

 To offset 12 tons of carbon, the required driving time varies significantly, but assuming a typical EV reduces emissions by about 3.6 tons of CO2 per year compared to a gasoline car, you would need to drive approximately 3.3 to 3.4 years to offset 12 tons of carbon, though this figure is a general estimate and depends on the specific EV, driving habits, and electricity source

9000 miles of driving based on 20 mpg: 

The total grams of CO2 are divided by the CO2 emissions per gallon to find the total gallons of gasoline consumed.

Intense exercise jump starts Ketosis - at least 3 1/2 hours earlier (but I think even more extreme exercise kicks it in faster)

 fascinating. I just did intensive work for 4 hours nonstop in the woods today - and my Total Gym training completely saved me! I pushed myself to the extreme and made sure to vary my muscle use by changing tools - so I could keep working. I got done what I hoped to get done - and I had a magical forest moment with a Spring Peeper staring me in the eyes when I popped out of a five foot hole I was head down in - the ratcheting socket sound had called in the Spring Peeper tree frog - they even have some pink coloration! Wow - I scooped it up so it didn't jump down into the hole. hahaha. Yeah I didn't eat while working - just drank water a bit. Got home 3 hours later and I definitely had burned fat into protein as ketosis - dark intense urine yellow. "However, this study found that participants were in ketosis three and a half hours sooner, on average, when they started their fast with an exercise session." Wow that's wild that I just corroborated that study! I had no idea you could kick in ketosis that much faster! Very fascinating. "Intense exercise before starting a fast can help you reach ketosis faster, research suggests...The chemical, beta hydroxybutyrate (BHB), has been linked to health benefits like reduced inflammation, better blood sugar control, and lower risk of aging-related diseases. Typically, it can take between 20 to 24 hours of fasting for ketosis to begin and ketones to appear. However, this study found that participants were in ketosis three and a half hours sooner, on average, when they started their fast with an exercise session. " OK so I ate before I left and I drove six hours and worked hard four hours. So my exercise was super extreme though - fascinating. I lost 2 pounds even though I ate three pieces of pizza and a bag of small cookies - so probably 1000 calories. hahaha.

New Stuart Hameroff talk: Megahertz ultrasound promotes neurons to regrow (healing any kind of dementia)

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SWWAH6_A9s&t=3265s

Hameroff starts at one hour 25 minutes 

And we know collagen is piezoelectric - hence the importance of working the tendons to increase the piezoelectric power! relying on the yin-yang polarity resonance through Taichi and qigong increases the polarity power even more!

 

Prof. Keith Baar: The goal is to fail: the secret of resistance exercise & rhythmic exercise for health

 Professor Keith Baar

 increasing muscle protein - to increase volume of heart

muscle weakness causes illness...

 "For those who worry about mTOR activation and longevity, they are correct. Many animal studies show that drugs and diets that decrease mTORC1 activity throughout the body increase longevity. That is also what exercise does. When I increase mTORC1 activity in muscle by doing resistance exercise, the activity of the kinase goes down in the liver, other tissues of the viscera, and in immune cells. So, even when we increase mTORC1 activity in muscle, activity decreases in most of the other tissues of the body"

 Muscle is the most costly tissue and so heavy resistance exercise needs animal protein and dairy so that mTOR senses the ability to grow bigger muscles...

Alcohol blocks mTOR sensing the increase in protein to grow more muscle.

 "As to the strength comment, the listener is correct that to maximally increase strength it is important to lift a heavy weight. However, I disagree about the part where they say “accelerate the weight as fast as possible”. That is power (force x velocity). Power has nothing to do with the development of strength. Doing one heavy top set and stopping when bar speed begins to slow down is how we would train athletes to maximize strength. However, you and I were talking about longevity. Since his approach would increase risk of injury (because it would introduce a lot of jerk), it is not how we would train for longevity."

using 1999 Total Gym foot hook pulley cable for hamstring curls and inner thigh adductor stretches

 

 Old Skool Total Gym vid 1999

 

 I tried this stretch this morning - you have to make sure the foot strap is positioned correctly and your leg needs to be slightly turned forward so the femur bone doesn't smash into the hip socket...

 Advanced Total Gym training program. Everything is fairly higher volume 8-20 rep range with probably 3-5 sets on an exercise: Mondays and Thursdays Upper body. Tuesdays and Friday Lower body:

Upper Body: start with 1) shoulder military presses then 2) Butterfly chest flies then 3) Bench chest press then 4) front deltoid raise (seating forward). then 5) Side deltoid raise (inverted on back lateral flies). ..then seating facing tower: 6) Rear deltoid flies (raise)...7) seated bicep curl facing tower 8) laying back supine bicep curl 9) supine (facing up) "ab crunch" tricep arm pull over (straighter the arms, the more difficult) 10) Twister seated ab pulls 11) seated row pulls - with feet on the wing bar attachment to push away 12) pull up (with weight attached) 13) seated "high pull" - pull handles straight up over shoulders 
Lower Body 14) hamstring curl leg pull with wing bar attachment  15) one legged squat 16) toe raises 17) Lunges towards the tower 18) hip adductor exercise (feet on outside cable to pull legs apart) 19) hamstring pull supine (back on board with foot in pulley strap) 20) inner thigh adductor stretch pull with foot pulley hook strap 21) tricep pull (supine on back) 22) tricep kick back with hands facing up while kneeling facing tower 23) The surfer - tricep kick back with hands facing down and back leaning forward and going back up 24) Side bends - keep hands at side with cables while supine facing up and bend trunk laterally to each side 25) twister again! 

 13 exercises for upper body

12 exercises for lower body

So 25 exercises in all.

 What's not included? Iron Cross. Chin Ups. two-legged squats. Ab crunches. plenty more if you really think about it....still the above exercise program covers enough!

 So here is the Total Gym flip chart giving the same above "advanced" program

They include some of the upper body in day 2 though - strange.

 

 I think that's a different lady also than the VHS training vid - because she is more flexible! Wow.

Pullups work your back a bit more and your biceps a bit less vs. chinups. Pullups are harder, especially if you do them from a real dead hang, but for me have lead to ridiculously large lats and deltoids. They also work your biceps quite a bit, so it's not like they're being neglected.

You can work in plenty of variations as well, such as wide-grip, and parallel grip pullups, to get a bit more targeted/strenuous workouts. When you can rock pullups, you'll be an all-star at chinups, but not vice versa.

Will the Si-Stretcher work for me to go into side splits? Let the Simon Scher training begin!

 http://fvz.bbt.mybluehost.me/si-stretcher/

 To get into side-splits you have to either rotate the hips forward or rotate your legs backwards! This Si-Stretcher relies on the latter and in martial arts that is the preferred option (or so I read online somewhere). 

This inventor of the Si-strecher is also a top-rated martial artist.  Wow he went to Hampshire college also! 

Very awesome.

  At Hampshire College in Amherst MA  he studied Japanese Language, Culture and History as well as the Business and Culture of Martial Arts in North America. Mr. Scher spent several years hitchhiking across Japan studying Cha No Yu Tea Ceremony and Zazen Buddhism. He studied film production at NYU’s Tish school and now hosts a successful Youtube channel where he makes available martial arts tutorials. Mr. Scher currently runs a TaeKwon-Do school in Northampton MA where he teaches and trains daily.

Wow - very impressive.

 http://fvz.bbt.mybluehost.me/blog/

So he goes into a lot of psychic meditation mind control stuff also used in martial arts. Fascinating.

OK I just went through his 7 stretch steps to split tutorial - very excellent! I used two resistance bands loops together to help stretch the adductors. Good workout! Wow. The Si-Stretcher will make it much more effective. It also feels really good to do that stretch - so should be fascinating to slowly increase the tension. 

"I'm tired of being trans. I wish I hadn't been brainwashed" - the murderer

 "I'm tired of being trans. I wish I hadn't been brainwashed." - the murderer. Yes female mammals have love bonding with their babies due to female mammals having over twice as many oxytocin neuroreceptors - no surgery can change that. People have been brainwashed by bad biology and hence our ecological crisis on Earth today. "women had higher concentrations of OT in cerebral spinal fluid compared to men irrespective of health condition....suggesting that brain OT release may be higher in females,"..."It was found that females had more OT-immunoreactive fibers compared to males" "Male mice had fewer OT-immunoreactive fibers in the limbic system than females (Haussler et al., 1990). In particular, OT-immunostained neurons in the ventral ansa lenticularis, the perifornical region, and the lateral hypothalamus in male mice were almost absent (Haussler et al., 1990)...deficient in the Oxtr gene (Oxtr−/−). Oxtr−/− mice had no obvious deficits in fertility or sexual behaviour, but displayed several aberrations in social behaviours, including male aggression, and mother–offspring interaction...oxytocin receptor systems in the brain: sex differences and sex-specific regulation of social behavior."
