Why is this article showing up on New Year's Day like the flock of newbie gym customers attracted to the gym only to quit 30 days from now? Every year without fail.
Let's ignore this article for a moment.
Overall factors that REALLY matter building muscle:
1. Consistency - Working out each muscle group at least once a week....every week.
2. Diet - Making sure you are consuming enough protein in your diet, approximately 1gram/pound of body weight...or near it or even best you can. Total calories consumed a day should match any online calculator for your age and activity level.
3. Sleep!
4. Sleep!
5. Vary your workout - some weeks high reps low weight and some weeks low reps high weight. Why? Never let your body know what you're doing and shock it as best you can. Always try to exert yourself enough to be sore within 48 hours of a workout.
Now multiply this over a few years.
Stop reading these studies thinking there is some optimal way! It's just hard work over time.
BTW: In winter I bench press 350 pounds or 159KG. I run 10KM or 6.1 miles twice a week and increase it a little bit in summer. I pull my body in two different directions because I love both.
I designed my led system at home in the basement which is not as big but same principle. It all depends on:
1. Distance
2. Type of LED: W, RGB, RGBW, RGBWCCT
3. Brand of LED manufacturer
4. Number of LED per meter aka amperage draw
5. 24v verse 12v
If this is a loop, like a rectangle, you can inject from beginning and end since that is the same point, otherwise, you'll need power injected at some distance. For long distances you'll need to calculate the power loss to figure that out. I used quinled.info site to get all this information and decided upon an RGBW LED setup using 24 volts and injecting at beginning and end of rectangle. This was for 20 meters, fyi, not 50 meters. RGBWCCT was too much amperage draw over distance and this was my first time doing it. Learn how to solder because using the snap-on connectors suck...I am redoing those connectors by soldering b/c two have failed so far.
Genetically, I've dealt with myopia on the -2.x range most of my life till I had lasik around 20 years ago. However, now my eyes have diverged in the weirdest of ways. I have 20/20 in my right eye but can't read up close - due to being in my late 40's - and my left eye can read up close but I have around 20/80 for near-sightedness. I guess it's "good" I can handle any situation with one of the eyes but playing pool with depth perception sucks! Anyway, I have a new problem this article never mentioned. Floaters. My left eye is full of them and reading anything with these blobs blocking my vision is a game of moving my eye so it "shakes" things up so I can read where it was blocked. I have not found a therapy for it. Floaters is protein waste broken off in the eye and mine never settle to bottom of the eye. Don't take your vision for granted.
