Alright boyos, been pretty mentally ill the last two years in 2013-2015 I was focusing on powerlifting had a 110B 185DL 165S. Been back training a couple of weeks and have a new mindset on health and fitness I want to be all around strong so I've been experimenting with a higher workload. My workouts are as follows
Monday - Weights, Boxing, Running and Yoga (for recovery)
Tuesday - Weights, Boxing, Running and Yoga
Wednesday - Cycling, Boxing
Thursday - Weights, Boxing, Running and Yoga
Friday - Weights, Boxing, Running and Yoga
Saturday - Cycling, Boxing
Sunday - Rest
Each session is around 4 hrs and I've yet to hit fatigue. I'm following Canditos Linear Program. I'm eating enough each day to be in a surplus.
My question is this though is this overkill? I feel better than I've felt in years but I'm afraid i'll hit diminishing returns at some point. Thoughts?
cliffs - Working out more, this too much to do in a week?
I should add that I don't care about weight gain I weigh 70kg naturally and within 75-80kg is perfect for me
>tfw you stopped lifting and eating right after 4 years because of manual labor job and in pain all the time
That's what you get for being a brainlet & watching anime.

I've got a guy comes in full tracksuit, weightlifting gloves about 5 foot 6 and ginger comes about 3 times a week proceeds to do variations of bicep curls with 5kg weights for half an hour then leaves.
3 times a week for at least 6 months from what I've seen I don't even know what he thinks he's achieving
>Women who do 20 minutes of cardio and leave
Okay, you do you.
About a year ago now I got really depressed suddenly because humanity fucking sucks so I started eating healthy food and working out every day. Now I'm just a really depressed bag of muscles. I've attempted suicide twice and feel like even more shit. Like nothing's good enough. Please help.
are you on any medication?
>>42801936
No.
do you get any sun or take vit D?
do you exercise? I know this is fit
could just be physch issues, could be as far as food allergy or tons of things..
first thing would be to see a doc and try get a full blood test.
Does anyone do meal prep as an adult male (>200lb bodyweight)? These tupperware containers are basically going to be filled with just meat and a few vegetables. I've been using chicken breast or pork loin cooked in a Crockpot with vegetables, salsa, spices etc which fits my budget and macros well but tastes like shit because the meat is overcooked. Is there a way to make the texture of the meat not so terrible in a slowcooker or at least mask it? I see all these bodybuilders and powerlifters extol the benefits of slowcookers but every meal they've suggested has been mediocre.

white rice
>nope
sear the meat on all sides in a cast iron pan before you throw it in the crock. carmelization gives it texture and flavor. yt how to sear meat if you are a cheflet
Anyone on /fit/ taken accutane? I'm probably going to be prescribed it soon but read about it being bad for gains and also possibly causing depression. Are these side effects likely or just a meme?

I did it. Do NOT pick your acne when you are on. It will get worse before it gets better. It is going to be tempting to pop/pick all of the acne. If you do it will scar really bad, resist.
Skinny fuck trying to gain here, how do I get more weight distributed to my forearms and lower torso?
get your genetics changed. Or eat at a 2k cal surplus

Find out what muscle groups are targetted with various exercises and build a routine that targets the muscles you want to be larger and avoid exercises that will make your imbalances more obvious
>>42801475
you dont decide where fat gets stored if thats what you are asking. If you want more weight somewhere its gonna have to be weight from muscle.
If i do a 5 day split is it ok to go to the gym 7 days a week? Am i killing my gains by nit taking rest days?
>>42801358
As long as you give each muscle group a rest day.
>>42801358
It's what I do. I don't do cardio on leg day tho fucks me up
>>42802500
Won't it fuck up your CNS or some shit?

Pro tip: If you learned about diet from (((the media))) you've been Jewed.
They push the Paleo meat diet, which is a hipster reboot of the (((Atkins diet))) to make you a sick beta-male who needs to buy their magic pills.
You've been primed to hate fruits and vegetables by (((them))).

Non restorative sleep? Tried melatonin the other night and slept better then I have in ages. Although I have already built a tolerance to it. Why have I been getting non restorative sleep?
Anything to help?
