I know that for bulking up, it's high weight, low rep. And for cutting its low weight, high rep.
My question is: what will do both at once? High weight, high rep?
No OP, what you need is low rep, low weight
>>42065857
no reps, no weight
You're right on the money, op.
I love carbs so much.
I really like meatballs too.
Marinara sauce, not meat sauce though.
You can keep it in your diet as long as you are getting your other macros and nutrients. It's great pre-workout desu.
Do you ever get days where you're just really weak? What causes these?
Did I not eat enough this week? Not sleep enough? Not enough rest?
I can't lift my typical weights at all. This happens every couple of weeks where I just cannot lift
>>42065464
CNS needs time to recover.
Bet my paycheck you don't deload or recomp.
>>42065479
I had to deload by 10% to even be capable of lifting anything, when 2 days ago I did those weights and failed my final set that's why I didn't increase
I'm doing SL 5x5
If I fail even just the last set a little but, should I deload or try the same weights again?
>>42065479
CNS burnout is a /fit/ boogieman, it's much more likely your muscles didn't recover than your CNS (otherwise, low volume but high intensity programs like Bulgarian method would not work at all)
>>42065464
maybe you didn't eat enough, maybe you didn't sleep enough, maybe you didn't recover from your last workout (no, not your precious CNS that /fit/ thinks is some sort of faberge egg), maybe you have accumulated a lot of fatigue from multiple previous training sessions
since you're on SL, I'm going to go with fatigue accumulation on this one
the problem with SL is that it has you squatting with some serious volume (5x5 3x a week) AND expects you to attempt to linearly progress the weight you use for this each session
this is because the guy who wrote SL, Medhi, ripped off SS and arbitrarily added some sets and switched PCs for rows, and marketed it like some new routine, without really understanding programming (as evidenced by him deadlift less than I did in high school after 10 years of training)
time to go to 3x5 for squats, OP
Is eating lunch a meme? I know plenty of cunts that just dont eat lunch and the only food I see them consume is iced coffee for an 8 hour day
There is literally no point to eating more than once a day.
>>42064494
You can eat as many or as few times as you want as long as you're consuming adequate amounts of calories and hitting your macros
There is literally no point to eating more than once in two days.
Can I get a wide masseter by grinding my teeth on a pencil carpenter that can help give me a wide jawline?
>pic-related
Where do I include ab work into a PHAT routine?
>>42064262
>grinding teeth
you will end up with old teeth, i have to wear a mouthpiece to gym cause i did it while lifting and my teeth were fucked
>>42064262
Tom Welling looks like THAT?
>"Idk anon that meal doesnt look healthy (healthy healthy healthy)
>mfw perfectly balanced macros
What do normies who don't lift consider healthy?
>>42064120
a salad that's half dressing.
>>42064120
muh macros
i hope i never get to care about that
>>42064148
not like its difficult, it just helps you go harder in the gym. all i do is 40 carbs, 40 proteins every meal, pretty fucking easy. once u learn it u just know, u can pretty much guess with most foods
What is the most complete ab exercise?
Currently doing sit ups, leg raises, and lat leg raises.
Also, best trap exercise?
>>42064113
>ab exercise
canoe crunch
>trap exercise
any pull exercise that isn't curls, incline paused shrug
> abs
Personally prefer hanging leg raise, but does not really matter as moch as your bf% does
> traps
Barbell rows
>>42064113
>ab
planks
>trap

Deadlift 125 kilo x5
Squat 110 kilo x5
Bench 67.5 kilo x5
OHP 50 kilo x5
Power Cleans 60 kilo x3
Chins 5
Back extensions 10
Height 1 meter and 80 cm

Additional info: Lots of sleep problems preventing gains.
I think my lifts are kind of low and want to compare them to other people's stats to see if that is accurate or not.
>>42063917
body or nothing matters
>>42063917
I had slightly higher stats after a year of PPL. You got memed on senpai.

>>42065082

>>42065106
He looks better than 95% of people on /fit/
What are some good back exercises using dumbells?
I am too tall and my balance is too shitty for barbell rows or deadlifts. I know i need to work on back because my posture is slipping.
tits for help
>>42063339
Dumbell rows.
>I'm too tall
This is total bullshit
Also her tits are 5 years from pooling in her lap

What the hell is this body type called? I honestly can't decide if they're huge or if this body type is easy to obtain. Theyre not really bodybuilders, but you can tell they had to work out to accomplish this
The guy on the top is Tom Brady in Bronson and the bottom is obviously Ed Norton in American History X
>>42061295
it's called the one cycle of steroids before you shoot a movie look.
>What the hell is this body type called?

If you use any of the following while deadlifting, your lift doesn't count.
>mixed grip
>chalk
>belt
>straps
>no shoes
