What is a perpendicular workout to directly complement StrongLifts 5x5 during off weeks? Arnold says to "shock the body" but I'm doing the same shit over and over.
Is there another full-body thing like SL5x5 to do that still cohesively works the entire body but does it through different combinations of muscles or something?

Adding more weight each workout is going to shock the body and why would you consider switching program when you are still making gains on 5x5 which is made for novices to make fast gains. Personally i would stick to it as long as you get stronger on it (granted you are close to 1/2/3/4)

What's the best way to build muscle and burn fat without loosing weight?
I'm pretty satisfied with my weight right now (220 lbs at 6') but I'm looking to gain muscle and build a physique while burning off some extra fat. Should I drop down in weight and gain it back in muscle?

It's impossible. Build first then cut.

Why don't you tell us what you think that you should do and we can critique you? That way, you can actually contribute something for once in your miserable, useless life.

Cut but get a shit ton of protein while lifting. Its working for me so far, but then again im a beginner so beginner gains are inevitable no matter what i do.

currently on it rn. i enjoy it definitely
just squatted 245 for the 3x6 which i was really happy about, and my bench has gone up to 190 for the upper day
i do gotta say its super tiring to do heavy squats and then into 2 sets of heavy deadlifts for 6, and even the paused days (strength/control program) can be brutal. my deadlift is pretty shitty to begin with tho, so it might just be that
id say bring a snack with you to the gym to have after your squats
with my program i only do OHP for shoulder exercise and recently changed from pendlay rows to the bent-over rows for my horizontal movement
optional exercises are generally either facepulls, incline bench, more bicep work or weighted dips for upper day. Then for lower days its usually GHRs, highbar/front squat, romanian split squats, hamstring curls.
I have seen both strength and aesthetic gains, so im happy with my progress

Hey bros. I am currently in india on vacation and I was wondering if its safe to buy protein powder here. I have a pajeet friend who says that all the supplements have been spiked with steroids and other shit in this country. He was even scared to buy protein in the US.

What's /fit/'s opinion on ICF? I'm thinking 3 times a week is not enough even on a cut, can I up it to 4x a week?

Why would you listen to Jason Blaha? His body is terrible. Find someone who you want to look like and follow their routine, or their routine with less volume if they are juiced and you're not

You can get the same result by breathing through a straw while running.

Meme exercise equipment
They do not simulate or give you the benefits of training at high altitude

You can just stuff your mouth and nostrils with cotton or cloth and you'll get the same result: Absolutely fucking nothing except a considerable spike in the difficulty to breathe in and out

First off, I understand that weight loss is calories in and calories out. If you eat less calories than you burn, your body will burn fat. I get that and I understand that.
Now, I know that some people take stimulants like phentermine to loss weight. Obviously this works with any drug that mimics adrenaline, but thats beyond the point. I'm just curious if someone can explain how one of the ways it is supposed to work actually works.
Stimulants make you less hunger, activation of the sympathetic nervous system naturally reduces hunger. I got that.
Stimulants also increase your metabolism by raising your blood pressure, increasing your heart rate and raise your body temperature. Got that makes total sense.
Yet I always see this also mentioned "Adrenaline encourages your body to break down fat cells for energy". Not as a side effect of lower hunger or increase metabolism, but on it's own.
I've been trying to understand this but I can find anything concrete on exactly how this works. Surely it won't do this if you are already at a deficit. The metabolic increase and hunger restrictions will already put your in a deficit. Won't your body always just break down enough fat to cover your caloric deficit or do stimulants actually break down a little more than it needs? If so, is this effect limited by caloric deficit or not? If you do a line of coke, will your body still break down some fat even if you're glycogen stores are full and you're not in a deficit? How significant is this effect?

I'm too shy to go the gym anymore after I was laughed at for being overweight. Does this work /fit/? I'd rather exercise in the comfort of my own home

Works wonders Opie, most bodybuilders don't even go to the gym they just use their bowflex at home.
>>
Invest in a barbell and some plates instead, or even a treadmill and start the couch to 5k program to go down in weight. Also diet.
>>
>>42098960
You could do calisthenics at home and run outdoors. Or, you could go to the gym and face your fears of social anxiety. Once you move past it, and realize that those faggots that had a laugh are beneath you, you'll feel better as a whole, and you'll be better for having done that.

I'm seriously lactose intolerant, and even though people tell me ordinary whey protein powders should have a low enough lactose content for it to be okay, they still give me hideously bad gas and stomach discomfort. Lactose also gives me acne and ruins my face. I would definitely rather get all my protein from meat but I've been working two jobs this summer and it's hard to manage that while still working out. Are vegan protein powders any good? What are the best protein sources, veggie? Pea? Rice? Tofu even? I don't want to gorge on estrogen or hormones either, can I still manage that?

maybe create your own shake with chickpeas, beans and lentils, which are rich in protein, i know it sounds disgusting but i'm sure you'll work something out

Pea protein is something else. Started to dread making a shake, the taste is hard to stomach.

Nigga, you don't do anything hardcore. You need to quit stuffing your face and sitting around all day
>>
>>42098862
How about
Bulk for 6 months (no junk food, no soda)
Cut for 3 months.
Reevaluate, repeat.
Once you're fit save up for some surgery.
Also I'd check with another doctor, that looks pretty gyno to me.

You have high estrogen levels
