Is pic related plus running 3 times a week enough to stop me from becoming skinnyfat/ lower my body fat%
Can I take a fat burner and a prohormone at the same time?
Context: In the past 4 months I've lost 45 pounds from diet and fasting alone. I've never exercised routinely but I'm about to start exercising because I still need to lose around 30 pounds to not be overweight, and my fat loss from diet and fasting alone has tapered off. Can I take a fat burner and a prohormone at the same time to hopefully maximize those beginner gains?
How do you guys space out your protein shakes/meals? I want to make sure I'm doing it right.
Breakfast I have 5-8 eggs, then 1 hour later I have a protein shake. Then 1 hour after that I lift. After I lift I have lunch, Then 2 hours later I have a protein shake. Then I eat a high protein dinner.
Is this right? Should I change when I have the shakes? Should I have one right after I lift or is the one I had 1hr before I lift still in my body for post workout?
Anybody know of any bars that are still in stock? I had one "on the way" from Amazon for three weeks that just got cancelled
Anyone ITT got a fisherman's friend?
it helps most important thing is to fix your diet though
do you eat 5-8 eggs every day?
Found a Texas Power Bar on Walmart of all places
Yea
Guys I need a solid bodyweight routine. I'm seriously lacking in volume and in intensity, and I need something good. I've got a pull up bar and a dip station.
Rec me some good ones. Is reddit's any good? I'm really not sure what I should be looking for.
Minus The Gym on YouTube has good beginner routines and progressions
Based, but I would check out your cholesterol levels
Okay I've got another question, spurred by recommendation.
I keep seeing 3x a week full body circuits for bodyweight routines. How applicable is that to an intermediate or advanced person? For example, would they move to 5x a week full body with just harder movement progressions? Or maybe it'd require a complete change up of the routine?
I'm looking into the future, figuring when I should change it up and how
Right now the meta idea in calisthenics is that more than doing high volume workouts and doing them more often you should do regular training 3 days a week at least (more if you can handle it) but moreover you should work on "skills" like handstands etc. separately and in addition to your normal training, probably every single day for a lot of skills.
I am laid off, broke, and trying to maintain my gains. What's the cheapest way for me to meet my protein needs?
Tuna, pre packaged meat, whey, dog food.
So currently right now they are making dog food with pig belly because it's so fucking cheap right now. Pig belly is where bacon comes from. This is some consumer grade shit they're putting in there.
Interesting. So that even goes for intermediate and advanced people then? The 3x a week thing?
For example, you wouldn't move to something like a push/pull split?
I recently started SS 5x5 and a couple of times a week I have been waking up in the middle of the night super horny. I've never had this happen before and it's hurting my sleep gains. Is there anyway to not have this happen?
how do I take videos and/or pictures that are flattering and don't steal your gains? even on porn POV videos like leolulu or David Laid vlogs they use some kind of camera or someshit that looks like oldschool skate footage with the fisheye making things look bigger than they really are.
You can really do it however you want and you can most definitely do training five days a week. Here's a model I went by before:
M - Circuit training, 2MR, handstand practice
T - Circuit training, 5 mile ruck, handstand practice
W - Circuit training, 2 MR, mobility stretching
Th - Circuit training, 2 mile ruck, dumbbells
F - Circuit training, 2 mile ruck, 1 mile swim
Sa - Handstand practice, mobility stretching
Su - Mobility stretching, 10 mile walk
My idea about it is to have "slots" (3 on M-F and 2 on the weekend) and I change out what goes in each slot as I evolve in my training. I used to cycle but I moved on to other things and I replaced my 2 slots of cycling with 2 more slots of rucking. You can really just play it by ear in the long-term but by no means shoudl you put something that will take you to the limit in every slot. Still, intense training 5 days a week is possible as I've done it before and probably will again, but your mileage with it may vary.
Very detailed, very nice. Appreciate the reply. Got a couple more if you're willing to answer.
How were your results with this routine? Were you happy with your gains?
And what did the exercises in the "circuit training" slots look like, generally. Was it closer to full body or closer to some kind of split?
For me, circuit training was full body. You could do it split, or you could do it with rest days. It doesn't really matter either way. I try to look at it less about getting immediate gains and more about a long-term longevity. If something is lacking then I can begin contemplating it and change my training to account for it in short order. For example, I realized I wasn't able to curl that much and I already needed to work on my wrists so I started curling dumbbells one day a week. My wrist strength is much improved and that's helping me in handstands too.
In terms of setting goals, I think they should be more clearly defined than "get shredded," "gains" etc. so I work on things as I notice them and try to play the long game as best I can.
Cool. Thanks for all the replies. Appreciate the help user. This is definitely helping me out with coming up with some good programming
Topic: Daily protein intake
Various sites state different numbers for my body (5'8, 157lb) in terms of what I "need" in macros. These branch out so much that some say I need 180g and some go as low as 70g.
My routine is PPL with legs put into the push day. So a 2-day-cycle with around 90min each.
How much would be a good recommendation if I want to grow/keep muscles on a calorie deficit?
What consequences does eating too much protein have?
So, it seems that australian pull ups/reverse rows hit the inner part of your back a bit more than the outer lats that are hit by regular pull ups and regular rows. Is it worth it to do both kinds of pull ups while in quarantine or should I just stick with regular pull ups?
honestly, the most jacked natty dudes were consuming 0.8g-0.9g protein, no need more than that.
1g/lb is used widely because it's pretty easy to go by it
you need the fats for hormones and carbs for performance, and to get a lot of high protein you'll need to sacrifice one or both and if your workouts dip and your relative strength doesn't go up you're doing it wrong and actually losing muscle
>high protein
>relative strength
Can you elaborate on these terms? Not sure I see the difference between proteins and strengths.
Might've expressed myself badly
I was trying to say that if you go over the usual thrown around 1g protein per lbs of protein, you will have to sacrifice carbs and/or fats which will influence your workout performance.
The goal on a cut is to maintain your performance, if you do let's say a 100kg Bench at 80kg body weight and then cut to 75kg and maintain your 100kg Bench, you've gained strength because your relative strength is higher and this is super important when you're a natural and an indicator you're actually maintaining your muscle mass, and also why high rep/light weight training sucks when it comes to maintaining muscle on a diet as a NATURAL.
Call whatever the fuck you want to kinobody but the guy has, by his words, "cracked the code" for natural guys, I mean he copied all his shit from Martin Berkhan but you get the point.

What is the natty limit if you are 6’4”?
I am transitioning out of skinny fat Lanklet, so far I haven’t missed a single work out and I count my macros every single day. Been like this for 6 months so far and I want to see what 3 years of dedication looks like for a tall bro.
That makes sense, thank you.

Does milk really kill gains?
How much farther will linear progression take me? I’ve been working out since September but I was a pussy and didn’t do compounds till January, did too much machinery and hypertrophy. These are my current lifts though I have no idea what my squat is
5’7 160 lb
Bench
>200 lb 5x5
OHP
>122.5 1RM
Deadlift
>300 lb 2RM
Squat (probably higher, low diff)
205 lb 5x5
My OHP is relatively low as I largely neglected shoulders the first few months. Should I increase my squat sets to a reasonable number, and can deadlifts go up by 10 lb a week still?
I cant get boners when with a new girl. we've had sex like 5 times, then 2 other times I couldn't get it up. this is the first girl this has happened with. I've had sex with other girls in the past year and this has never been an issue.
this girl's pretty and I like her, so idk why. I even masturbate thinking about her when we're not together.
I dont watch porn. I masturbate about 4x a week.
advice? should I get some boner pills? I'm worried taking it tho cuz I have boners all the time around the house so idk if I'm meant to take it
>14 inch forearms
I did an entire month of forearm work, just measured my forearms today... didn't gain a single millimeter. I legitimately feel like dying right now. How could that even happen?
Have you tried abstaining from premarital sex?
No
>How could that even happen?
were you eating?
do you have foreplay? i get the boner ready by making out
no, but what's even the point?
why waste 1000-2000 calories on milk, which is also pure fat and sugar, when you could just eat more meat or other tasty food
Yes, I eat nonstop
>i eat nonstop
how many calories
maybe not you, but skinny people always claim they can't gain weight when they have a few chips per meal
yea, nothing happens. I usually get a boner just by sitting next to her and holding hands, and then other nights I can tell it just won't happen at all.
3000+, I eat a lot. My non-dominant arm grew a bit but my dominant arm stayed the same
My friends convinced me to sign up for this shit. Is it actually hard or is it a big meme so normies can larp at being tough?

What are some good body weight back exercises while I wait for my pull-up bar to arrive?
How long does it take to catch up to a pump?
I feel like I could be comfortable with my image if I was as big as my pump all the time but when it fades I feel dyel as fuck
>bodyweight
gonna need some weight buddy
lat flies and bent over rows
I’m 120 and can squat 165 3x5 (1.375 my weight)
Is that considered good? Still feels like I can keep going up.
At your age, yes. Very impressive.

I was washing my balls when I felt what I thought was a lump, but it turned out to be one of my spermatic cords. It feels thicker and I guess squished together? Should I be worried about this? I did just cum if that helps any.
Never mind, it just went back to normal.
What are some at home exercises for a better butt? Im a guy and ive found out im an asslet so i need some exercise suggestions to do at home since gyms are all shut. I got a 50 lb barbell, 20-30lb dumbbell as weights available.
I've got a treadmill and a couple 25 lb dumbbells. What's an effective routine to burn off some of the quarantine snacks
stop snacking and chew sugar free gum
Is there any way to tell if pain is from a real injury, or its just from your mind?
I am an extreme hypochrondriac. I trick myself into thinking I am in pain when I am not. However, as of right now, I have pain in my shoulder, possibly due to bad bench form.
I used to have back pain without any real reason and some user told me to work through it, and funny enough he was right. I don't have any back pain anymore now that I knew I had nothing to worry about. However, I am worried that my shoulder might be different and I'm not sure really how to know.
By no means will I do GOMAD or anything like it. What I'm saying is will a glass of milk after a workout fuck up my progress?
>What I'm saying is will a glass of milk after a workout fuck up my progress?
no, but it would certainly be more productive to have a whey shake, as an option
Do you have before and after pics?
Yea I would work on squats. I'm impressed that you can bench that much but your squat is that low. I would expect a 275 5x5 squat desu.
What is it like overhead pressing in oly lifting shoes? Does the raised heel make it feel like you are falling forward or off balance?
Hey guys, I've made my own hybrid strength- hypertrophy routine. Care to give some input?
Monday - Madcow 5x5, then 3x8 of each exercise at a lesser weight. 7x5 pull ups, 4x12 dips, 15 minutes of abs, then three sets of reverse dips and push ups with a weight vest
Wednesday - same thing but do chin ups instead of pull ups
Friday- same as Monday
I do abs on my off days, and cardio on Tuesday and Saturday. Thoughts on this?
By the way if anyone isn't familiar with madcow, it's a progressive 5x5 program. Bench , row, squats on Monday and Friday, Wednesday is light squats, OHP, and dead lifts.
