Believe it or not (but almost any dermatologist will tell you) there are possible ramifications to the immune system from showering too often.

https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/showering-daily-is-it-necessary-2019062617193

Normal, healthy skin maintains a layer of oil and a balance of "good" bacteria and other microorganisms. Washing and scrubbing removes these, especially if the water is hot. As a result:

-   Skin may become dry, irritated, or itchy.
-   Dry, cracked skin may allow bacteria and allergens to breach the barrier skin is supposed to provide, allowing skin infections and allergic reactions to occur.
-   Antibacterial soaps can actually kill off normal bacteria. This upsets the balance of microorganisms on the skin and encourages the emergence of hardier, less friendly organisms that are more resistant to antibiotics.
-   Our immune systems need a certain amount of stimulation by normal microorganisms, dirt, and other environmental exposures in order to create protective antibodies and "immune memory." This is one reason why some pediatricians and dermatologists recommend against daily baths for kids. Frequent baths or showers throughout a lifetime may reduce the ability of the immune system to do its job.

Your concern for his well being is noble.

You request for a serious question is approved.

I believe Soul Crusher would tear bhank in half. Literally! Muscle by muscle. #ragdolled

[Soul Crusher]

He's pretty much maxed his natural genetic size potential, so he's not really giving up anything.

Maxed out years ago.  I realized that when I got fat strong in my mid thirties, dieted down, and was not much bigger at all.

So far i will say this - my strength and stamina are a big asset.   A lot of guys are gassed trying to do stuff to me (again - nohomo) and I'm totally fine and can relax and just hang on.   

[bhank]

this is a pretty lame attempt to get people talking about you, how attention starved are you?

No just saw SC post and remembered it was Monday but he did 1.5hrs of cardio in the am and another hour of BJJ at night if I did 2.5 hours of training a day I would not maintain size

[joswift]

6 sets landmine rows
2 sets dumbell rows
2 sets shrugs

Was just a home workout

were they exercises or your response to your girlfriend telling you that you couldnt use your pool table?

Even if he was stronger and has more gas as you get better you learn to use less strength and stamina and more leverage and how and when to rest

[bhank]

But regardless I feel like I would rather do squats than try and pull half a dozen different muscles

I just recently started - thats the point - to learn something new.

dont bother with him, hes just trying to work out a way he can pretend to beat a bigger stronger opponent.
His life is a contradiction.

I have been getting cortisone shots into my left elbow the last year for tendinitis so just savings what triceps I have for benching if I did all that additional tricep work the tendons would be done

jesus you're falling apart, why even continue to barbell train? your body obviously cannot handle even on superman doseages of test.

But you said you know how to heal yourself...why the need for shots?

Also, seeing that you read ALL research articles, surely you are preparing your own paper refuting the evidence that repeated cortisone shots weaken tendons.

Well the thing is you tore your bicep squatting. So that theory doesn't really apply to you.

Case in point.

[Krankenstein]

Serious question on workout days, how many showers a day are you averaging?

Come on man...just ask him how many times we washes the balls and butthole.  That's all GB is interested in.

No, you couldn't.  You are not anywhere close to his level.  Keep injecting my friend....one day you may.  Celebrate this new found realization with a dose of bioidentical nolvadex and primo.

One of the oldest 43 year olds I’ve ever seen. The list of injuries and self-diagnosed medical conditions are something that you’d see on a nursing home patient application

[Soul Crusher]

What he does not understand is that for many of us, like yourself, we love the work, the challenge, the journey, the daily discipline, the camaraderie of those with similar goals, etc.  The mental aspect of staying to a code or trying to maintain a standard is something we care about greatly.   For myself at least, training time is fun time.  You feel better, you move better, you fight back old man time, etc.

The thing with BJJ is now you got to decide how much gains are you willing to give up and potential hypertrophy training time. I mean it’s Monday night storm the open mats night but it could also be squat night

Ninja skills are acquired in our youth after that training to establish and maintain power should be the primary concern

You sir are a complete fucking real live idiot !!
