I want to first thank Polar for sending me this Polar Ignite for review. In this video I will be unboxing the Polar Ignite, well kind of? I will also setup the Polar Ignite to my Android Smartphone and give my First impressions of the Polar Ignite. Later on of course I will be following up with my Full Review detailing how the Polar Ignite worked for me in terms of my specific Fitness and Smartwatch needs.
For now I will leave you with some of the Polar Ignites main Features and Specifications:
Easy to use color touch screen with 1 button interface.
Gesture-activated color touch display (IPS TFT) with ambient light sensor (ALS). Always-on option in training mode. Resolution 240x204. Dragontrail glass lens.
This article is not intended as medical advice nor am I a doctor or specialist on the topic of SARMs. All information provided is simply just my personal thoughts on the subject of SARMs. In no way am I recommending anyone take SARMs.
Before we begin, it must be understood that SARMs are strictly for research use and not intended for Human Consumption at this time so taking a SARM will have unknown risks involved. For this reason if you are a human, I do not recommend using or taking SARMs.
That said I know lots of people are going to take SARMs irregardless for various reasons anyway (Just like Steroids). So here is what I think about the subject without getting into a lot of detail as I am far from an expert and only want to talk about this subject as I get asked about it a lot and often people want to know where they can get SARMs from.
At this time yes, because research chemicals like SARMs are not for human consumption meaning they can not be sold as a supplement. They must be sold strictly as research chemicals. This status could change at any time as the Government has recently been getting involved and trying to figure out just what to do with and how to classify SARMs.
So Why Are People Considering SARMs Over Steroids?
SARMs are usually in pill form, so you do not need to inject them. So much easier to take.
SARMs are considered to have similar benefit to steroids with potentially a lot less of the negative side effects.
Some SARMs I feel have are worth following as they have a lot of potential, perhaps not right now but once more research has been done.
MK-677 (Ibutamoren) Technically not a SARM but rather a secretagogue. Increases Growth Hormone by making the body produce its own Human Growth Hormone. Watch my Video on MK-677
Rad-140 (Testalone) Works like Testosterone in your system but with less risk of Breast and Prostate cancer side effects.
SR-9009 (Stenabolic) Exercise in a pill! Speeds up metabolism, improves endurance, prevents muscle wasting, helps with recovery, reduces cholesterol levels, can even reduce blood pressure.
YK-11 (Myostatin Inhibitor) Reduces Myostatin in the body which allows the muscles to keep growing.
My Take-away on all of this is that SARMs are probably going to be the new PEDs of the future, maybe even eliminating Steroids altogether. SARMs may also have a place in the health system for people with muscle wasting diseases and prostate or breast cancer. If you decide you want to start using SARMs now then don’t be surprised if you grow a third arm, just kidding but you are for sure taking risks, will the benefit outweigh the risks? That’s for each person to decide on their own.
I've made a few videos on the subject of TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) and they have proven to be some of my top videos in terms of comments, questions and views. This even prompted me to startup a new YouTube channel called TRT Over 40 dedicated to just this subject and even though I really have not spent a lot of time making videos for the TRT Over 40 channel it still seems to get a lot of new subscribers and comments.
What does all this mean? I guess TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) is a hot topic and on the minds of a lot of men out there who may be feeling the effects of low Testosterone and would like to find out what they can do about it!
In this video I address this subject head on and talk about a company that I have been in communication with that is one of the top ranked US based TRT Clinics in the US with excellent review rankings at TrustPilot.com, go see for yourself! The company's name is Royal Medical Center Hormone Therapy, and yes they offer hormone therapy for both Men and Women. Royal Medical Center has been providing TRT for almost 10 years and treats patients through the US. Their TRT program is all-inclusive and they treat you based on your symptoms, not just your blood-work results.
Here's what you get with your monthly fee:
Program Is truly all-inclusive.
Treat your symptoms.
Follow up lab work is completed at 3 months or 90 days.
Doctor consultations are always free.
Medication is shipped directly to you at no additional cost from a FDA approved pharmacy.
No contract. No hidden fees. No additional start up fees.
You are probably wondering how much it's going to cost you to get on a program like this and feel a whole lot better?
Normally this program will cost you $195 per month which is a great deal considering everything that is included. I have setup a Promo Code (GFO40) with Royal Medical Center that will save you $45 per month after your initial consultation from Royal Medical Center.
The GFO40 Promo is a $195 initial payment which covers the first month of medication, initial doctor consultation, lab work, physical exam and all medications. Typical medications are Testosterone Cypionate, hCG and a AI which is typically infused with the Testosterone for the start of therapy but can be non-infused if requested and in pill form. Dosages vary on patients symptoms and lab work. Then $150 each month thereafter.
Consider how much some of these other harsh drugs many people are taking prescribed by none TRT doctors to address problems like depression, sexual dysfunction, low energy, and many other symptoms caused by your Hormones being out of balance!
Watch my YouTube video for more details on how you can find out if Is TRT Right for You and Where Can You Get It!
I am starting out with a US based provider of TRT but hope to expand to Canada and other parts of the world as long as I can find similar reputable establishment. If you're one such establishment, please reach out to me and we can discuss this further.
Part two 1973 VW Super Beetle Cold Air Blower Modification mainly consists of me finally getting and installing my new blower motor which is essentially a 12 volt 16.5 Amp Server Fan controlled by an RC type speed controller. This new motor turned out to be exactly what I needed get some proper airflow into my 1973 VW Super Beetle. The previous Bilge Boat Blower did not have nearly enough pushing power to force air through the internal dash system as it was only around 2 Amps.
As the speed controller is basically an Remote Control Car ECU it has some setting that I needed to make sure where set for the battery type in my car. By default the ECU was set to a Lipo battery which has a constant voltage. A Lead car battery doe snot always have a constant voltage and can fluctuate a fair bit, this makes the ECU think the battery may be low so it down regulates the current making the fan speed go up and down, mainly down...
I switched the ECU battery settings from a Lipo to a Nicad Battery as a Nicad Battery is a lot more similar in terms of the voltage ups and downs of a car battery and this fixed the voltage regulation from the ECU to the fan problem I was having.
I also show off my Mr. Heater Portable Buddy Heater I know use to heat my 1973 VW Super Beetle as I ditched the built in Gas Heater I had before that was unreliable.
In this video I go over three main areas that I feel have the most to do with "How Our Muscles Build & Recover & How to Get the Most Out of Your Training":
Muscle Repair
Over Training
Workout Frequency
Muscle Repair The general consensus is that it takes around 24 hours to recover from a strenuous weight training activity. And this time is dependent on how hard you worked out, how use to the training your muscles are, how much rest and sleep you are getting, stress levels, sickness, are the right nutrition?
Many people think that if they are sore then their muscles are still repairing and after a hard workout or a workout you have not done in a while you can be sore for sometimes even 4-5 days afterward. All this means is you have a large amount of lactose build up in the muscle that is causing the pain since lactose is like little crystals in the muscle fibers grating against them. But it really has nothing to do with if the muscles have repaired or not and are ready to be trained again.
One point I really want to stress here is that if your muscles are not in a Recovery/Build state then they are in a state of Atrophy which means they are getting smaller and weaker. So if you train Legs on Monday once per week, they should be repaired by sometime Wednesday which means Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday are days that your legs are not getting any weight training stimulation and if you are a fairly sedentary person then your legs will be in a state of Atrophy for 4 days that week!
Over Training Let's get this sorted out right here and right now. Unless you are some sort of top level athlete that trains 100%, 3-4 hours per day like a marathon runner, or a body builder or a Crossfit athlete (of course there are many others), then I guarantee you are not over training! Don't confuse an injury from an underlying imbalance or improper workout form as over training. If you have an injury or a muscle issue with your body like arthritis, muscle strain, ligament strain then you need to train smarter or in a way that does not aggravate these ongoing issues and we all have them. It does not mean you are working out too much, you are just working out the wrong way so change it.
Often times people will have mindset issues where they simply think that training 5-6 days per week is too much. Nope, not a problem your body can take it again if you workout smart. Of course you need to get proper nutrition, sleep and keep your life as stress free as you can.
Workout Frequency OK so here is how all of the above info relates to what I am trying to teach you...
One of the most common workout types that many people have been training with is what is referred to as the "Bro-Split". This workout is based on training for the most part one body part each day and hitting the gym about 5 days per week to get everything done once per week. So when you go into the gym to train a body part like chest that day, you hit it from every angle and usually end up completing 3-4 exercises for chest and probably getting around 20 sets. Yes you will be sore the next day and the next day and maybe even the next day but then guess what? Nothing for the next 4 days so what did I say was going to happen if your muscles are not building/recovering? That's right, they are Atrophying for more days then they are building that week.
Another problem with the "Bro-Split" is that it is impossible to do 3-4 exercises with 100% intensity and hitting the same workout numbers and volume for each set that you would have if you only did that one exercise for a given muscle so in other words a very inefficient way of training muscles.
I prefer two other workout models that allow a person to train a body part more times per week than just once making sure you are not in a state of atrophy at all or at least minimizing it a lot. I don't want to go into a lot of details but basically one good workout option is the "Upper Lower Split" where you focus on upper body one day and then lower body the next, if you train 6 days per week you will hit each body part 3 times per week with virtually no days of Muscle Atrophy, if you train 4 days per week you will hit each muscle part twice per week with minimal muscle atrophy days. Of course you will not do as much volume or as many exercises per muscle group each day as the "Bro-Split" but that's OK because over the course of the week, it will all add up and each exercise will have more intensity with better efficiency since the muscles are fresh.
Another option is training every body part or your full body every workout. And yes you can do this 5-6 days per week without overtraining since you are not hitting each muscle as hard as you are only doing 2-3 sets per body part per day. Recovery time if you are healthy will be around 24 hours. What I like about this type of workout is that you can do it 3 days per week, 4 days per week, 5 days per week and even 6 days per week. I suggest you take at least one day off per week to rest the mind and body from weight training as you will get more out of your training and enjoy training more by taking a day off every week.
When you do full body workouts 5-6 days per week you will literally never be in a sate of Atrophy and each time you train a body part it is fresh and ready to go 100%.
