Both yesterday and today, my latter morning naked weigh-in prior to having eaten anything at all has been around 193 or 194 pounds at a height of approximately five feet and 10.75 inches (179.705 centimetres).
It is probably relevant that I am 72 years of age.
So perhaps it is not at all surprising that I struggle to achieve a single pull-up. A single chin-up is a little easier for me ─ I can probably achieve two of those. For anyone unfamiliar with the difference, a chin-up uses an underhand grip of the bar, while a pull-up entails gripping over the top of the bar.
If I am using two bars, such as when doing a pull-up between the sides of one of those overhead horizontal ladders people (usually kids) use to traverse hand-over-hand along its rungs for its length, a pull-up's difficulty is somewhere between that of the regular pull-up and a chin-up.
Of course, keep in mind that these exercises are done outdoors somewhere ─ not while I am naked at home. Consequently, my fully clothed outdoor weight must be approaching 200 pounds.
I wonder how many people of any age who are of a similar height and weight can do a pull-up or chin-up? And when age is taken into account, what then? Am I off the mark in thinking that I am likely in a limited collective?
Changing topics, I sat up last evening watching T.V. (via our Android TV Box) with my younger brother until around 12:30 a.m., for he was not as brain-dead inebriated as he was the prior two evenings. This allowed us to catch an episode each of three of the T.V. series we follow. (The three series were Chicago Fire; Lewis; and Saxondale.)
It was likely around 1 a.m. by the time I got myself to bed.
Incidentally, my wife ─ who had worked the full day at the Thai restaurant where she is employed part-time ─ had come home, maybe around 10:30 p.m. However, while I was having a bathroom break no more than 10 minutes thereafter, she left again, and never did return. I expect that she will remain away until at least sometime during the latter half of Monday, for she tends to spend most of her weekends somewhere in Vancouver.
Anyway, I slept reasonably well initially last night, but wakeful periods became more and more common. I resisted checking the time, but it was already daylit when I rose to use the bathroom for the first time. Thereafter I lay and managed to sink into a stupor of some state of sleep. Then after becoming aware that maybe my brother had risen, I finally checked the time and was most surprised to find that it was something like 9:02 a.m.
This was almost unimaginably late.
So I rose and dressed, and soon enough went downstairs to boil water for an instant coffee with 'the works'.
My brother had been entertaining himself with coffee and the Saturday morning edition of the Vancouver Sun that I subscribe to, but he was almost finished with the paper by this point. Even so, I managed to get first access to the T.V.
We were to watch three videos (via our Android TV Box), the second of which was uploaded to BitChute on April 18 and was a 46-minute retrospective by Ivor Cummins illustrating how accurate his observations have been even as far back as 2020 concerning the nonsense that has gripped the world since early that year: The Ultimate Covid19 Decoding - Everything Explained for the Layperson.
Title says it all. I went through my viral video of Sept 2020, which hit nearly 2 million views, got me in the New York Times, and got censored. I returning to it's content and re-analysing, I lay low the coronahysteria in ruthless hardcore fashion. Watch the checklist get ticked off! :-)
The last video we were to watch was longer than I realized ─ I knew that it was going to exceed an hour, but it turned out to be 53 minutes over an hour! Fortunately, its subject matter did pique my brother's interest, as he was to learn in time.
The video was uploaded to Rumble by Dr. Mercola, being one of his hosted interviews: The Most Important Stealth Factor to Improve Your Health- Interview with Morley Robbins.
Morley Robbins, MBA, CHC,1 founder of the Magnesium Advocacy Group and best known as the Magnesium Man, has also written a book called “Cu-RE Your Fatigue: The Root Cause and How to Fix It on Your Own.”
Minerals play a crucial role in the activation of enzyme pathways, which are responsible for metabolism. This, in part, is what makes minerals so foundational for good health. If you don’t have the required minerals, the “batteries” of your cells, the mitochondria and the nuclei, won’t work. Inflammation is poor energy production, and the reason goes back to mitochondrial dysfunction.
Iron and copper are highly interdependent and need to be considered together. If you don’t have copper in your diet, hemoglobin production becomes impaired, along with many other aspects of iron metabolism. So, being anemic does not automatically mean that you’re iron deficient. You may be deficient in copper. Anemia typically relates to iron dysfunction or dysregulation, not deficiency.
The best way to lower excessive iron is to donate blood, one to four times a year. Most adult men and postmenopausal women have high iron and could benefit from regular blood donation, as high iron is extremely toxic and destroys health. An even better strategy is to remove smaller amounts of blood every month and a recommended schedule is provided.
To raise your copper level, you could use a copper supplement, but foods like grass-fed beef liver, bee pollen and whole food vitamin C are better.
If you’re a farmer or grow your own food, the best way to put copper back into the soil, to get it into the food, is to add copper sulfate. Before you plant, simply spray the soil with copper sulfate, 10 to 15 pounds per acre.
My brother and I were so impressed with a few of the things that we learned that, for example, we are going to henceforth try and ensure that we only purchase vitamin C in its complex, and not just as ascorbic acid. Watch the video to understand why.
Inadequate dietary copper is the cause of most cases of so-called iron deficiency or anemia. Without adequate copper, the iron is not getting properly deployed and is just being stored; so supplementing with iron in the majority of instances is utter lunacy.
Also, since we are storing approximately a milligramme of iron each and every day in our body cells, the wisdom of having one's blood donated regularly ─ especially later in life when those iron stores are dangerously high, despite what the uninformed mainstream medical thought on dietary iron seems to be ─ seems starkly apparent, for there is no other way of 'dumping' the excessive storage that is relentless, day after day.
I am 72 years old, and my brother is 69. Who knows how many of the niggling health issues either of us have may be due to this undesired accumulated iron?
I do not know of my brother, but I have never in my life donated blood. I now want to, even if it is primarily for this selfish reason of being rid of some iron!
I had believed that seniors had 'inferior' blood and were not desired as donors, but I see that I have been wrong ─ check out Canadian Blood Services' ABCs of eligibility to donating blood.
And there is a donation centre here in our Surrey ─ specifically. over in Guildford. It is only open Wednesdays through Saturdays, but on that latter day it opens as early as 8:30 a.m. Consequently, maybe I will speak with him about the two of us booking for a session of donation, for I cannot see that any of the contraindications for donating that are listed relate to either of us.
But let's change topics yet again. I want to have a bath, and the early evening is now here.
The day has been reasonably sunny and almost warm. I could have sat out in the backyard this afternoon to soak up some of the sunshine ─ barefooted, too. However, I have largely been home alone, and my wife has been expecting a very large box of health-related goods from Thailand's The iCon Group that was estimated by DHL to be getting delivered on the 18th.
We are clearly beyond that date, and I had paid something like $58 just for the shipment charge, including any duties.
As might be imagined, I am reluctant to be unavailable should the delivery occur. And sitting out in the backyard this afternoon would have been taking a huge chance.
I am also reluctant to have a bath as yet. I think that my youngest stepson had to work today, for he was gone before I rose this morning. He thus may be showing up at any time now.
His older brother has been out riding his Harley-Davidson.
And my own brother took off quite early in the afternoon for his daily 'socializing' ─ it remains to be seen what sort of condition he will be in by the time he shows up later this evening. I never know anymore if I will be sitting up with him watching some shows and enjoying a couple of beers; or if I will be coming upstairs here to my computer because the idiot is sauced from excessive drink, and I'll be getting to bed fairly early ─ i.e., well before the midnight hour.
I may wait another 45 or so minutes before chancing the bath, since I have no idea if DHL makes weekend and / or quite late daily deliveries or not. If one of my stepsons shows up before the 45 minutes expire, then I will have the bath.
That's enough said for today.
