No, it is not.

Your genetics obviously have played a role in your success in fighting. You have amazing muscle fiber if what you say is true, and you have your parents to thank.
Lactic acid is formed when the body is in anerobic conditions. During cellular respiration, after glycolysis, glucose is broken down into pyruvate, which is normally broken down into acetyl coA and goes through the Krebb cycle. However, when you do not have adequate oxygen in your body, you go through anearobic respiration, and your pyruvate is instead turned into lactate (the uncharged form being lactic acid) and that is used for energy and is recycled through glycolysis, used for energy, and then is converted back into pyruvate.
To answer your question, his body may have adapted to his conditions and started using a different form of energy aerobically, specifically using oxidative phosphorylation and atp synthase to make atp and to drive his cellular processes. That would be my explanation.

Wow, alright. Well establishing a neural basis for "fighting" won't be that hard. People say Ali "out thought" his opposition, which is true. It's about confidence. It's about adrenaline, and it's about training your body and forming muscle memory to achieve perfect fighting stances, target zones for punching, and timing. This comes from training your brain repeatedly to do a simple task, making neurons that fire during that task "automatic" which is the same reason MJ hit all his shots, why pele scored all those goals, why Ali landed all those hits. It's because they trained their brains and conformed muscle memory to complete the same task over and over again, to the point where it became automatic.

That's not an opinion, that's someone stating an incorrect piece of science, or a reevaluated one, that is. Those who say the world is flat are disregarding science and something that has been proven. You're mixed up.

>>5377538
A complete scientific study? What is your hypothesis? What are you looking at?

>>5377492
Absolutely sir.
OP out, have a good evening.

If there are no more posts I'd just like to thank everyone that contributed to this thread. I'm glad I could share my information and knowledge with you all, and I'm glad I could receive information and hear different philosophies on life. I may do this again in the future, as for now, dedicate yourself, make goals, and fight the good fight.

>>5377478
Correct, you cannot be predisposed to liking a certain thing, like cocaine over meth, based on what your genetics are. The FDA would argue against that, but we know better

>>5377467
I mean I wasn't really there, so I couldn't say, but I would assume that they were attempting to evolve and better their population, and they did, so yes. You can have behavioral addiction just as easily as biological addiction. Ex gambling, sex, porn, etc.

>>5377461
No no no. I'm saying that we abuse our reward pathways with drugs. You would have this pathway regardless of if you do drugs or your parents did drugs or the first person evolved did drugs. It's there. It always has been. We have it because evolutionarily, when we eat food, or have sex, we pass on our genes, which is good for our evolutionary goals, so we receive positive biological feedback in the form of sensitization. We found things that activate this system in the form of drugs, and we activate it wrongly.

>>5377454
I was being sarcastic with the 100% yes... but electronic communication is the basis for basically the modern technological world... as well as physiological communication. And yes, the concrete converted to abstract freaks the fuck out of me and I don't understand it

>>5377448
This

>>5377447
Sex, food, love, etc. The "addiction" pathway of the brain is actually technically the "reward" pathway. That is, when you do something pleasurable, dopamine neurons are released in that pathway and you receive positive feedback. Biological functions that better your chance of survival, evolutionarily, would affect this pathway.

>>5377440
That's true, there is a nature vs nurture argument in life, in all aspects. The truth is that if the people around you are doing drugs, there's a greater chance of you doing drugs, but we cannot say that it's 100% dedicated to this. There's a small amount of genetics and predisposition that goes along with it, but it's not major. It's like fat people saying they're "big boned" and have hypothyroidism and shit. It's horse shit, you have a choice to eat, you have a choice to take drugs. Same difference.

>>5377438
100% yes

>>5377429
I beat most african americans when I ran. Then again MN doesn't have that many black people to start with... unless you're in minneapolis, which I was not.

>>5377427
There are genetic predispositions to having an addictive brain, that is, having a brain altered to be more sensitive to drugs and addiction. The basis of addiction is the sensitization of dopamine neurons in the nucleus accumbens.

>>5377411
Depressing. If it's that way for everyone, why not just have fun? If that's your true philosophy, just go do whatever the fuck you want. Why not?

>>5377390
I think it's fascinating. I think that the way we are controlled and the way we think is absolutely incredible. I will never be able to understand the brain in its whole glory, and that depresses me, however I think that the meaning and basis of life, every word, action, and deed done, coming from an electrical communication network, is outstanding.

>>5377402
There's a biological basis for addiction. Proven scientific fact. No FDA bullshit, just science. read up son

>>5377404
Nah, I used to but I got used to it. I don't kill them at all, I just inject with cocaine, and in fact my chemotherapy work deals with reducing the pain felt in mice who have had chemo, so I think their lives aren't that bad.

>>5377409
Never tried it... I guess I never had an interest. Not afraid of falling or anything, it was just never suggested to me.

>>5377382
Yes. Addictive brains are highly sensitized after withdrawal. That is, if you quite cold turkey, and "fap" two weeks later, it will be of greater sensitization and pleasure if your mind is truly addicted, that is, your neuronal pathway from your ventral tegmentum to the nucleus accumbens is sensitized and wired to that process.
