>Fiber. You eat 160 calories in almonds, but you absorb only 130. The fiber in the almonds delays absorption of calories into the bloodstream, delivering those calories to the bacteria in your intestine, which chew them up. Because a calorie is not a calorie.
Is this true? I know none of you actually know but it somehow gives me comfort when you tell me one way or the other. I'm a sheep.

Theoretically speaking, the food you eat could not be digested and simply expelled in poop. Like when you look in the toilet and see corn kernels that weren't digested.

I have a question /fit/.
Why not focus on a body part every single day like most seem to be doing, instead of using a program like Starting Strength?
Since a novice is incredibly under stressed in terms of what his body can go through, wont he see great results through focusing on a body part every day of the week?

SS is for strength. Like the fucking name says so. In the name. Right there.
If you want to look good then you should use a program intended to develop good looking muscles. This means lots of upper body isolation exercises, and maybe a little lower body depending on your current leg aesthetics.
>>
>>42095532
any recommendations on aesthetics workouts? Obviously for beginners.
>>
protein sythesis is elevated in a 48 hour window after the muscle has been stressed. thats why SS works and why body part splits dont unless you're on gear. also compounds stimulate more growth in general

Yeah that's the point. People here say that ab isolation exercises are pointless and that squats/deads are enough

Hey guys, I've just gotten back into lifting after some breaks from travelling etc - I'm not at complete newbie levels, but still dyel 45kg bench 45 kg squat lmao1pl8 deadlift for 3x8.
I was planning to do something like 5 days of working out a week, splitting it like push/pull/legs for three days, break day, and some upper body(chest, tris, shoulders) lower body (legs and back DL) split for the last two before another rest day.
However i was reading on bodybuilding.com and looking at different programs, and they say it's a bad idea to hit all the muscles twice pr week. Is this true? Or is the gainz-goblin getting to me. My logic tells me 2 times pr week, with 3-4 days of rest between training a specific should be fine, but i'm not sure. Help me back to gainzheaven brehs
Also routine/program thread - Need some inspiration to set up the perfect program (I don't have enough energy to do those 1,5hrs-2hrs sessions, 1hr-1.15 of lifting is the sweet spot for me)
give me gainz like scoobs please

You're deluded.

not really helping you out here cause I'm a rookie, but when people say 1hr- 1 hr 30min of lifting, are they including resting in between sets?

remember when gingermod still lifted and wasn't a faglord forcing unoriginal memes on /s4s/ and giving out interviews, thinking he can speak on behalf of 4chan while working for a jewish shill company? Remember when his body was still in shape instead of a deteriorated mess it is nowadays?

I usually eat 4 hours after my workout but some chad told me I will never get strong that way and will loose all my gains.

just do some experiment...
like, eat something right after your workout and see how your organism reacts,
if your felling better than usual, then its better for you to do that more often
>>
You should be fine. There's evidence for and against protein consumption 1 hour after workout leading to higher gains, but most research says as long as you eat the proper amount of protein you'll still get ripped.
If you do a protein shake just take it to the gym for your after workout protein. Or suck your buddies dick I don't care
>>
>>42094302
Eat an hour prior to the gym. Have a snack in your bag if your workout takes longer than an hour. Shake immediately following training. Eat a full meal within the next 2 hours.
This is the best case scenario.

That's not really how it works. You're taking advantage of a biological process by giving it what it wants (as many building blocks as it can get). This is different from say, a boob job, as that's just sticking actual fake shit into the body via surgery.

How bad is it for your gains? I've read before that beer contains phytoestrogens that will not only increase your estrogen, but also stops your test from binding to your androgen receptors. Also that alcohol in general interrupts protein synthesis by up to 20%. IS that why all the numales into IPA are so weenie?
How true is any of this, or is it just Bro Science? I know Arnold and his boys used to go out and drink once per week back in the day, but they were also on a shit ton of juice
