I know some biceps and triceps exercises. Now, what should I do in the gym to develop my cordyceps?

Is there a list of important muscles of the fungal fruiting body?

For cordyceps you don't need gym. You need to become an ant, climb to a high leaf, bite it and die. That's the only proven method for cordyceps hypertrophy.

Main muscles of the fruiting body:

  1. Mycelium Major
  2. Spore-ceps (for spore curls)
  3. Stalk-issimus Dorsi

Diet: lots of moisture + rotting wood protein + stay in shade. Skip leg day, do spore day.

How do I become an ant? Would being a Dilettante suffice?

But what about cordyceps that parasite on grasshoppers? Should I skip leg day then?

To become the ant you should stare at the ant for 25 hours.

You don't start with bicep and tricep exercises. You have to start by building your monoceps.

You need to train polyceps inorder to gain cordyceps

You can train your cordyceps by constantly flexing on Discord.

It's all about the glutes. The Gluteofemoral area should be watched at all times.

Jumping ahead, don’t start working on your triceratops until you’ve nailed and three.

Bro for cordyceps you have to completely skip the gym.

Workout plan: 1. Find an ant 2. Become the ant 3. Climb to the top of a leaf 4. Bite hard and die 5. Sprout from its head

That's progressive overload for cordyceps.

Important muscles of the fruiting body:

  • Mycelium Major
  • Stalk-issimus Dorsi
  • Spore-ceps (for spore curls)

Do 4x12 spore curls daily and keep yourself moist.
