How much alcohol is too much? I usually have one or two drinks a night.and sometimes indulge on the weekend, but not every weekend. I'm 24 and in decent shape. Is a beer or cocktail every night dangerous?
>>42134657
No
I mean ya
But no
Work used to give me a free drink every time I clocked out and still made decent progress
Gave up alcohol completely, kept everything else just about the same and my progress has sky rocketed, even though I'm two years in
>>42134657
Having a drink at night will cause lower test levels the next day, and lower test means slower gains.
>>42134689
dang... well ive made pretty decent gains over the last year so it can't be that bad for muscle building
I'm 25 and only realized about a year ago that i have been doing shitty bro splits and not making much progress. I recently did 5x5 after reading the sticky on this site. I loved 5x5 but i think it is time for something new. i was looking at this plan after being none too happy with a lot of the roid plans on bodybuilding . com
what do you guys think? is PPL the best? is 6 days too much ?
https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/6-day-powerbuilding-split-meal-plan
I do 6 days and am natty; it's fine except for wear and tear on joints
Definitely start doing more than 5 reps per set though
>>42134612
>5x15 "Rep goal total" flat bench presses
>and than another AMRAP set
>3x25 "Rep goal total" seated behind the neck press
stopped reading there, pucked a little too
there's a routine general from time to time, lurk there
>>42134622
yeah i am shooting around the 8 to 10 range. only thing i do less is deadlifts on one of the days just because i like having a bit more strength

Thoughts on this? Couldn't find any info on it. The premise makes some sense.
>>42134583
Yup migan is legit.
What do you do?
>>42134527
Jeff pls go
>buying something from amazon
i dont need a foam roller or <10lb dumbells
amazon is a spook
>>42134527
when did jeff get jacked
sup /fit/,
been lifting for a minute, thinking about doing a test boost cycle for the first time though.
been looking around and i think i may do Bioforge+Activate Xtreme, what do you all think? pic is me currently.
Also inb4 "just juice", military is a cock block and makes me pee in a cup randomly.
>>42134411
kys
>>42134423
ok thanks bud
If I cut more then 500 calories (600/800) but keep high macros will I loose muscle mass? Have access to a lot of chicken breast and rice now.
WHY LIFT WHEN ITS ABOUT THE FACE?
Redpiller me on canned tuna. Is mercury poisoning an actual issue, or some kind of jewish trickery? The recommended intake is way too low for how much I like it, I can go through a can in one sitting.
>>42134378
I just ate a canned tuna
Have you ever heard of somebody getting mercury poisoning from one can of tuna? How many people do you think eat a can of tuna every day in the US and turn out fine?
>>42135145
Last time i heard about heavy metal poisoning from tuna it was some Victorian arctic expedition. They ate nothing but tuna. And even then it was poisoning from lead in the containers
why should girls even lift is steroids clearly don't belong in them and hard work results in little growth naturally?
I might just become a cardiobunny
Yeah sucks to be a grill but to be quite honest since i started lifting seriously i really admire women who are natty and managed to get decent physiques, even more than dudes since u need more effort and time to get less results.
There is this milf that was obese as fuck and now she has the body of a fucking fitness model (nothing exagerated and obv natty), all she did was skin removal surgery and a shit load of cardio and she squats about 200 lbs (by normies standards she's the strongest woman in my gym), nothing impressive at all but the transformation was god damn amazing.
why do you have to take steroids
>>42134365
My ex lifted and she is hot as shit. Just because you won't look like Rich piana doesn't mean lifting won't make you look better along with a bunch of other benefits like stronger and healthy joints
Also Jacksonville pls
Why can't you do something like 5x5 3x per week forever?
I really don't understand why this wouldn't work.
Like if you maybe get 5,4,3,2,2 reps or something at a certain weight and you do that 3x per week will you really get stuck forever?
I'm reading about periodization and it's confusing the fuck out of me, i just want to lift
As you get stronger and lift more, the more each workout will take out of you. when you're a beginner lifting your near your max every workout isn't so bad, but if you're trying to diddy 5+plates every diddy workout then you'll just snap your shit up
>>42134305
5x5 will get heavy as fuck a few months in, 3x5 will feel better and you'll be lifting heavier. That'll get too heavy eventually and you go for an intermediate program. That's just the way it goes.
>>42134320
>>42134392
what about someone like this guy who does 3x5/5x5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGDzF7sNE7g
or clarence kennedy says he does 5x5 squats everyday
why does it work for them?
Even the world's richest man has suddenly started roiding.
Why won't fat people just water fast?
Does it work? Yes.
It's only use is for when you NEED to drop weight, as fast as possible, and only temporarily. People who water fast gain it back even faster than they lost it because they totally fuck up their metabolism.
It's a goddamn meme. Don't be an idiot, slow down, eat a proper diet, and lose weight in a healthy, sustainable way that is setting yourself up for long term success.
>>42134342
99% of diets fail because fatties start to stuff their mouths again once they lose weight.
what the fuck is water fast
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKNmTjRBwfk
Holy shit. This is rich, even compared to the food the fucking fatties eat. "You caloric needs drop when you loose weight, hur durr" no shit sherlock. That doesn't mean you don't need to try. Also the fact he is an "expert" is trash legitimate trash. He did one study that follows fucking fat people, what do you think the analysis of dieting results is gonna yield. He did not even outline the mechanics behind why its true and why you should not strive to improve yourself lmfao.
>>42134269
what did you expect from cuck shows?
>>42134297
The show is right tho. What they are saying is that crash diets dont work. And that maintaining a "perfect" physic is almost imposible for certain people as genetics rules overall. What is missing tho is that being fit and having a "perfect" physic are two difefent things, as we should aim to be fit and healthy regardless of how you look.
I honestly hate this smug bastard
>"DUDE HAHA NIHILISM I'M SO SMART WITH MY KEK GLASSES AND SHIT HAIRCUT"
Also that "muh genetics thing pissed me off
Ever shit yourself at the gym? Was Deadlifting when I got the urge to shit. Didn't make it.
>>42134227
No, but I've seen a girl shit herself before in my university gym. She was this rail-thin girl, maybe 19 or 20, on the elliptical. I was behind and to the left of her on another row of cardio machines when liquid shit came gushing out of her. I've never seen someone run so fast out the door.
I'm assuming she was taking some sort of cleanse or laxative in order to lose weight.
>>42134939
That's more sad than funny tbqh.
Still kinda funny though.
>>42134950
Yeah, it was repulsive. I felt bad because that is something that people will never live down.
How far would you be willing to go to make gains /fit/?
What would you do to reach your goal body / goal lifts?
>>42134220
probably be willing to go so far as to make a daily commitment to my long term health
quitting sex / masturbation
drink peepee
