stop the delusion

If you believe that genetics dont play a huge role in lifting weights, you're a fucking moron. Bottom line.
It took me a while to realize this. I was told by this board that getting strong as possible on the squat, bench, deadlift, overhead press and barbell row was the way to get big and strong. It will make you strong, no question about it, but getting big is a whole other ballpark.
First off you are SEVERELY limited in the amount of muscle that your frame can hold. Larger frame = more room for muscle. Having a smaller frame means you can never get strong and big without adding more bodyfat. You have to "bulk up", get fat, just to push weights that other guys do with ease and not paying any attention to their diet - most will actually be weaker than you yet they will have more muscle size because of their larger frame. This also relates to point number two which is your natural test levels and your overall response to training. If they're naturally low you struggle to gain strength and muscle even on a powerlifting specific program. If they're naturally high you gain muscle from fucking around and getting a pump.

I am repping 185x6-8 on OHP and I've seen guys struggling with 110-115 with bigger wider shoulders and triceps than me, and they are leaner while I still have a skinnyfat appearence. They literally fuck around in the gym, don't track strength or anything, just get a pump and they gain muscle from it. One guy was yelling doing 135x10 bent over rows, huge lats, thick back. Meanwhile I'm close to doing 315 and have nowhere near the muscular development he has.

I don't entirely know why I posted this. Maybe it's to vent my frustration. I'm not trying to discourage anyone from lifting. It's fun as hell and great for your health. Just don't set your expectations too high. It will kill you mentally.

What's a calorie-free caffeine-free drink to drink with my buddies when we go out?
Coke Zero used to be my drink of choice, until I realized it was inducing insomnia on account of its caffeine content.

Hi /fit/, I've been lurking for some time and I need some fitbro guidance

I read the sticky and am confused about whether I should lose fat first (I definitely have some fat on my belly) or if I can start building muscle already. I don't weigh much right now though, so I don't know if losing weight now might do more bad than good.

>tall skinnyfat 18yo who wants to get bigger (and possibly stronger, I'm weak af)
>193 cm (6'4") - 70.4 kg (155 lbs) - BMI 18.9

I implore for your guidance, /fit/bros

I made 20 litres of Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi

- Each litre is designed to be 1 portion and 150g protein. All carbs come from veggies - no rice or potatoes.

- I want to make 20-40 portions at once as Im lazy/efficient. I found a 500 litre chest freezer on gumtree/craigslist for £5.

- The best foods for freezing are curries / soups / stews due to water content.

- I am on a 1000kcal a day cut to lose 2lb/week; so am currently eating 1500 calories a day. I am trying to not lose muscle during my cut and that requires me to eat about 150g protein a day.

- Its a 3 step process. Marinade, then make Base Curry Gravy (like a stock), then make the jalfrezi. Make "base curry gravy" either by following recipe in my image or (i recommend, and will do in future) finding a simpler base curry gravy. http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?board=2.0

- Try to make like 10 or more litres of base gravy and freezing batches of it to use in future curries. But 2 litres is what I did this time. I actually aimed to make 4 but fucked up the calculation and only got 2, but it was fine.

- I marinaded the Chicken for 48 hours in yoghurt and spices. Chicken retained its structural integrity. Dont marinate in acids for this long. Though did did have 10 lemons juiced in there.

- 50 Litre cooking pot:
1. STAINLESS STEEL. Aluminium has health risks.
2. Aluminium sandwiched disc under the steel base - in order to dissipate heat evenly. A pure steel pot will burn food at points where the flame touches the steel.
3. I got mine for £70 which is good. Includes lid and postage.
4. they take a little work to maintain too. you have to "season" the steel by burning oil before ever cooking to create a nonstick finish.
5. Heat up the pan before adding oil. Heat up the oil before adding food.
