i already eat like this and weigh 270lbs like the rock.
only problem is it's mostly fat
what's the quickest way to turn all that fat into muscle?
>>41794796
You can't turn fat into muscle. You have to lose fat and gain muscle. Two separate processes
>>41794796
if natty:
diet off the fat during 2-3 years time, become DYEL as fuck
bulk up for 3-5 years, until really strong, and also become fat as fuck
cut off the fat during 2-3 years
look decent
so you are basically looking at 10 years of work
if not natty, divide the numbers by 5
Does anger help your lifts /fit/ or is it just placebo? If so, how do you make yourself get angry for the gym?
Posted this a few minutes ago but I was on my phone
My neighbour is back home and he wants to come by my place and play some games and talk about stuff
He's a Chad and he has a cool ass life and I am a faggot that can't make conversation what the fuck should I do /fit/ ?
>>41794671
Go about it like you're a tabloid journalist, ask him questions and get him to talk anecdotes at some point you'll find something you'll be able to actively talk about, or you'll get comfortable enough and start talking yourself, no one has nothing uninteresting happen to them ever
>>41794723
Thanks
Should I ask him about his life in the army?
He's a vet
>>41794743
Sure thats bound to start conversation, but ask about his recruitment and such as a start, you ask vet to talk about the war its gonna get uncomfortable real fast, build up to it. And for god sake be interested in what he's telling, dont fake it it always shows
Do you agree with women having the option to not breed with inferior male genetics and only having sex with Chads?
We already do this with pets, so why not let women do this with humans.
it already happens they choose their version of "chad" all the time do you think they have sex with people they don't find attractive
but i get what you mean but it already pretty much happens lmao
>>41794670
It didn't happened generations ago though.
>>41794694
does now tho
This seems like a good place to ask. So I earn a lot of money, like a whole lot. Especially for my age. Company offers good benefits, nice car, etc. I earn so much money but rarely have time to spend cooking meals. I've heard there are services where they will deliver food to your house/mansion. Any recommendations on a meal delivery service? Money is not really a concern, just really want to emphasize this.
>>41794628
so you claim you make a lot of money and own a mansion but you can't pay some immigrant cook a few bucks per day to cook for you?
>>41794628
i'll move in and cook for you
>>41794628
Ask a neighbor to do it for you
When I perform the strict overhead a.k.a. military press I feel my rotator cuff area very pumped and hot, just like after a back workout
I'm talking about the area behind your armpits and behind your shoulders
Are those muscles activated during this exercise or is it just a coincidence?
If im eating at a defecit but eating tons of protons and lifting really hard, how do i measure my weight loss if I might also be gaining muscle? The number on the scale isnt changing much but people are connenting on my body and I can see definition and juicyness my body has never previously had.
>>41794347
Bodyfat measurements or just look in the mirror and judge by yourself faggot
Bodyfat scales are only $35-$40, not much at all if youre /homegym/.
If you have a membership, I imagine most gyms should have at least one. The only gym I ever tried had one and it was pretty shit
Is contracting your legs to purposefully get cramps good or bad for you?
It hurts but once the pain stops it feels better than before. Like you stretched. What happens here and is it good or bad for you?
>>41794226
It's quite literally the opposite of stretching. While not harmful in itself, it's certainly not beneficial in any way.
>>41794681
Okay thanks
>>41794226
It's a gains hack. By contracting those fibers, you are simulating enough tear to undergo anabolism.
Accurate

Is this a snapthread?

Is leg press actually a meme?
My knees actually bother me and feel tight when I try to squat. I think it's because I got spiked in my left knee when trying to turn a double play.
Can I use leg press to substitute for squats?
I was going to give up junk food and coffee today but even though I see coffee as wagie fuel that ruins my sleep and ruins my gym strength, I can't really bear to do it. It energises me in the middle of a demoralising work day where I am the ugy loser beta (also on the street, but not with the same people constantly). I have been socialised to associate it with getting stuff done, even though I procrastinate endlessly. I haven't yet convinced myself to skip boring old "classic" books so why bother being non conformist and giving up coffee when I refuse to be non conformist and claim Jane Austen and Dostoevsky are boring as fuck.
I'm sick of always trying to look for philosophies of living and heuristics and etc. The only worthwhile advice that can be remembered all the time is to always be honest with yourself. But being honest gets the crowd piling up on you. Even lit cares about the crowd, no matter how much you talk about objective quality of books. If a book isn't endorsed by the academia-media-publishing industrial complex you don't give a fuck about it.
But another reason I won't give up coffee is that it brings up the issue of whether optimising my life like some dehumanised being is worthwhile. In notes from the underground one of the most memorable parts was when the narrator talked about acting in a perverse way to feel human.
Oh yeah, and it's hot and the many attractive women outside are demoralising to see. They see me as disgusting non Chad scum. Yesterday a woman asked me for directions and I pretended not to know, out of bitterness. She I would've laughed in my faceif I had asked out the 22 year old her.
Today is typical. Hopelessness and laziness building up to an epiphany in the evening where I realise the key to succeeding in every aspect of life at once is to focus on few things / focus on many things / do only things I find fun / do only things society deems important / forget about the question and just live life etc.

How does/fit/ feel about Layne Norton's P.H.A.T. Program? Any experience with it?
Really love the volume and power sets, but as a scrub I saw more progress on PPL than PHAT.
The one really nice thing I got out of PHAT is going from 225 to 275 on my deadlift without deadlifting once. Threw out my back and spent the summer squatting and doing all the assistance work, and still made back gains along the way.
I'm on it for the last 9 months with about a 1 month break in between somewhere around January to finish my final year project in uni.
Great results, but I'm actually working now and finding it hard to spend 5 days a week in the gym.
Moving on to PPL 3 days week literally this week.
Great program though, couldn't recommend it enough if you have the time.
Post songs you listen to while lifting;

Are descending pyramids a meme?
It's said that they allow a person to train better form on lifts.
Well?
Not a meme, good at helping to form technique. Go slower for example. Just use them with other stuff (e.g. ascending)
>doing squats
>hear BRRAAAAAAPPPPP in my head on every rep
Been lifting for two months now. Going through different routines rn.
If I go to the gym every other day, I can do the routine effectively with good form.
If I go everyday, I just feel drained after the second exercise. This was the case when I took creatine(now I'm cycling, still the same case)
I eat 6 times a day adequate protein intake etc.
I have a friend in the gym who works out daily and he says he doesn't feel drained at all. He's there doing 4-6 exercises daily(hitting one or more muscles). He's naturally very muscular.
Why do I feel drained? Is there anything I can do about it? (BTW- no pre workouts. I eat a pair of eggs before and after working out and a mass gainer shake.)
>>41793870
because you're weak
because you are lifting heavier for your CNS than your friend. your body grows and needs time to recover. if you'd lift shit weights you could be at the gym every day like your friend
if you want to go to the gym every single day start lifting much less than you currently are
>>41793896
Thanks. Much appreciated.
