Does it make sense to do a lot of volume work on a cut? I'm currently doing a powerlifting routine like I always do but I realised that I want to look more aesthetic
>>42328569
heavy and little as possible when cutting not the other way around
I only get about 5-6 hours of sleep a night and feel like shit unless I get a full nights, will I be able to make gains or should I just not bother until I fix that?
>>42328569
I've got two questions.
1. How do I properly transition from a cut to a bulk? do I add 100kcals each week until maintenance, hold at maintenance for ~2weeks and then add 100kcals each week till desired surplus?
2. I want to bulk at a 300 surplus, how much weight am I supposed to gain per week/month?

>gym gentleman stacked my weights for me and challenged me to a duel for not doing it myself
>yearly penis inspection day at my school on Monday.
>bulk license ran out last month
>didn't realize it until the cops showed up
They knocked my fucking door down with a battering ram and took my milk and peanut butter. The cop gave me an ankle bracelet like goddamn felons wear so they can see if I get too close to fast food places
do you train the aesthetics breh?

protip: putting a larger censoring blob over your junk does not make anyone think your junk is that large.

Just got one down rocky style and it was the easiest fucking 70 cals I've ever consumed.
Should I avoid making this a habit or is this my best option to get some pre-bedtime gains in?

I'm freaking the fuck out.
I have 1 month left to get a 11 minute 2.4k
Currently I can only run 1 mile in 7 mins 30 secs
I've yet to run more than a mile without stopping. I have been platued at a mile for a while now.
Can someone write me a m/w/f running program that will add half a mile to my run endurance in 30 days?
The run is tested on a treadmill and I do my running on a treadmill, so I can use that to my advantage
Thanks in advance
You need to be running more.
5 days a week.
25-30 miles.
>>42334988
But I get fatigued if I do that
5k a day? Not possible, init?
Sprinting and interval training (like tabatas) increase aerobic capacity more than endurance running so long distance running is, ironically, fucking worthless for training for long distance running. Do 2.4k like once a week so you're psychologically used to it. Endurance training is a fucking meme though.

Add some beans or eggs whites on the side for protein and maybe a sweet potato or oatmeal for complex carbs. You could steam and then cold-shock some kale and directly add it to pic also. Just thinking out loud here friendo.

Probably masculinity would be better
Nice skin tone on legs, jelly
High reps or low reps for putting on muscle?
Volume is key for hypertrophy.
>>42334570
High reps
Whats too high of a rep amount?
How strong do you have to be to be considered normie strong? Is 1/2/3/4 sufficient or less?
>>42334505
if you can max out on the dumbbells in your gym for benchpressing, you're considered very strong
benching your body weight is basically unheard of to your average normie, most of them stall around 150-175
OHP a plate is also unheard of to them
squatting without a machine is unheard of, let alone anything above 2 plate
deadlifting without a rounded back is unheard of, 2.5 plate and above is impressive to them
honestly the most impressive thing to them is chinups/pullups with weight added via a belt.
>>42334505
There are a lot of memes on this board, but yeah, many normies cannot deadlift more than 2pl, let alone 4. 1/2/3/4 is a "I'm a normie, but I lift" weight.

I'm in a rough spot right now, I lost my job a month or so ago and I'm currently looking for work.
As a result my sleep schedule is fucked beyond belief, I usually get to sleep at 5 or 6 am and wake around 2pm in the afternoon.
I can't sleep until 5 or 6 due to said cycle, if I try a hard reset and try to sleep only 3 or 4 hours tonight waking up around 9am tomorrow will it fuck up my gains? I'm only a few weeks into lifting so I want to acquire as many noob gains as possible.
Help

daily reminder fixing your schedule and ensuring a consistent healthy sleep cycle is the basis for Long term gains
>>42334376
This, you can start by staying up 24 hours and sleeping at a decent time. You have to make up 1 nights sleep somehow, so you have to sleep an extra hour every day of that week if you take this approach.
>>42334376
There's a gains goblin who lives under my bed and I'm convinced he wakes me up periodically throughout the night
I can't get any proper R.E.M. Sleep
