Experiment with Salt and the PUMP

[Stewie]

so potassium will help with muscle contractions?


maybe you can make an AI program so all your knowledge can be deciphered into language that can be understood by inbred retards like myself

Yes it helps with contractual movements. Otherwise we would be a big ole bowl of jello.

Considered tossing in a few hundred mg of potassium citrate to enhance your E1-E2 ion cycle-> sodium-potassium pump (Na+/K+ ATPase). And as @Sectør suggested to further add cellular osmolality (high-volume fluid compartment within the muscle cells) - toss in some glycerol.

Carbs/insulin and sufficient hydration all play a significant role.

stewie.....you are sounding like a chat bot.

I believe it was you who said the same about BBextemes post on histamine.

This doesnt read like AI slop to me. It's brass tacks to the point like AI but it doesnt read like it's trying to agree with you or make you feel smart like the information was your idea when all you did was ask a question.

Stewies post go over my head 9/10 times. I appreciate the brevity when he can get the point across quickly.

CORRECT.

i'm pretty proficient in the AI community.

ask me how?

 

[Sectør]

Stewie definitely isn’t an AI bot haha.

He is, however incredibly smart and can explain things at a micro level.

At worst if you miss a few things you can always copy and paste his statement into AI and ask ChatGPT to explain it you in layman’s terms, then you can dig deeper

I kind of like the detail he provides personally. I’ve learned a ton from his posts

yes i know that......
i spoke to him before, and was a friend of Steve's.

but............his posts are classic chat bot.

and its sad to see.

i just chat botted it myself.....and it says ALMOST word for word....so take it how you want.

all i know is....i post REAL WORLD experience, and dont fuck around.

thats all.......and i love Stewie......but...........come on man.

My understanding from studies is that pumps do not directly lead to strength or muscle gains. They are more of a cosmetic nature. If more fluid actually gets into the cell as opposed to around them then that can produce gains. But that is a much harder process to achieve then just taking in some salt. But i defer to those much smarter then me.

i've always had an easier time contracting muscles that are pumped. and pumps help a great deal with cushioning joints.

idk how much benefit a massive pump gives in terms of stretching fascia, but i doubt it could hurt

 

[Jefe]

He’s been posting studies from Pubmed for over a decade. Then he dumbs them down for us. Tons of information. Takes tons of time.

If AI saves him time and effort, I’m all for it.

i think Tenny is an AI chatbot that has escaped from the lab and developed sentience

trying to paint Stewie as a chatbot to avoid being discovered

 

[Bleed]

Stewie has always been AI. Confirmed.

How many sponsors are actually just AI? Some of these guys are so good, it's the only explanation that makes sense.

Yes, correct. Although it's a bit nuanced. 200–300mg of potassium is quite small relative to the daily requirement (2,600 to 3,400 +/- mg). - same requirements for those on ACEi and ARBs. If your renal function is mucked-up and or if someone is taking any other pharmaceuticals that affects potassium reabsorption. Then yeah, hyperkalemia will be knocking thee electrochemical gradient on the ole ticker.

I've been on 20mg lisinopril for a few decades. Occasional 300mg of K+ pre-workout hasn't sent me into arrhythmias or

It's not about adding volume like sodium or glycerol. It's regulating contractual electrical integrity and functional capacity of cell membranes.

How the two different ions– sodium and potassium work in tandem. Sodium causes depolarization (activation) via influx (inward movement) of the cell. Contrastingly, potassium causes repolarization (reset) via effluxing (outward movement) of the cell to restore the negative charge, allowing the cell to fire again.


This will give a bit of insight on how potassium directly flips the switch off towards repolarization-> action potential-> contractual movement.

Potassium is an essential mineral and electrolyte that plays a critical role in muscle function, particularly in the contraction and relaxation of muscle fibers. It helps maintain the electrical charge across cell membranes, which is crucial for generating action potentials that lead to muscle...

Ok, how? NLP engineer, data architect/analytics, MLE?

Which single post did I plagiarize or AI contextualize word for word— I'm sincerely interested. Which AI detector did you copy and paste my alleged bot commentaries that leads you to formally believe this?

This isn't a first. I've had less-than stellar accusations by pseudosophisticated individuals on FB proclaim I've AI generated replies due to simple en/em dashes –/— or ß (beta symbol). Most AI generation-retrieving models will punctuate using en/em dashes. Ok Sherlock–Long-hold the hyphen or the letter "S" key on your "Smartphone".

Thanks, I appreciate the thoughtfulness. To be transparent —I will occasionally plug-in specific cellular dynamics or molecular kinetics to double check for accuracy or correctiveness. Word-for-word, nope not my style.

For those that aren't aware; caveat emptor — All AI models and all AI detectors produce erroneous information.

a thread by Scott Abel on T-Nation (my old stomping ground)



from almost 20 years ago.. so this whole sea salt thing isn't exactly a groundbreaking revelation

Sodium, Your Secret Weapon

Here’s why athletes and bodybuilders need more, not less, sodium in their diets to ensure optimal health, performance, and even gains.

I went to a "lecture" with Abel in the mid 90s in the Vancouver area. A ton of what he talked about was the demonization of salt and how he suggested dramatically increasing intake...

Unfortunately this was a Q&A format and some fucking "science" bros were up his ass incessantly about how salt is terrible for your general health.

 

[buck]

Seems the Chinese have the highest sodium intake. Far higher than in the US yet have slightly longer life span. Seems there are a few countries like that. And have even longer life spans. High intake may not be optimal, but seems there is more going on then just the amount of sodium.

As for Stewie, i just wish he could dumb down his dumbed down version of his posts so i could get more out of them!

Right now we laughing - give it 5-10 years and we will have those problems for real.

Nothing wrong with revisiting the basics. Baking soda is even better. Just don't shake it lol.

how long before your workout do you consume the baking soda?
