This is a meme right?
>Been working out for a couple years.
>Today I completed 42 total sets on chest/tris.
>average rep range was 1-8. >went to failure at the end of each exercises before moving on to the next.
>Total workout duration was 1 hour.
>I workout 6 days a week.
>I am only 5'10" tho so I only take in 2200 calories at 175lbs.
>9 hours of sleep on weekends, 5-7 on weekdays.
>Sometimes take up to 3 scoops of C4 tho.
I always see guys stay in the gym for a long time and do sets non stop, yet on /fit/ I always hear that all you need is 15 sets and workout 3 days a week to get swole. Overtraining is a fuckin meme right? Why the fuck would you set yourself a limit on how much to workout rather than going until you absolutely can't do anymore?

Anon, if you did big weights you wouldn't be able to do so much. Enjoy your cardio.
>>41755563
42 sets? that means you're doing nothing of weight...
>>41755573
Did 8 sets of 245 on bench m8, was doing 3-5 reps on each set so I am sure I am pushing enough weight for myself.
I posted on here a few days ago that I think I was eating too little. And for the past two days I have increased my calories and I am starting to think I am now eating too much.
>lost 81 pounds over 11 months
>past month or so be eating anywhere from 750-1250 calories below my TDEE (2250)
>start seeing a severe decrease in stamina and muscle endurance
>consult /fit/ and a nutritionist at my gym
>both say I should be eating more calories (around 2000 a day)
>do that for the past 3 days
>have gained 7 pounds in 3 days
Am I overthinking this? Or should I give it more time? The last thing I want to do is gain weight back. Before anyone questions my calorie counting abilities, I didn't lose 81 pounds by counting wrong, I am confident I am eating the amount of calories I record
>pic is my weight tonight up from 214 3 days ago.
>>41755560
You gotta be measuring your caloric intake wrong if you think you're eating 2000 a day and gained 7 pounds in 3 days. Try cutting back to 1500 for a week and see what happens.
>>41755572
I had been on 1500 a day and steadily losing weight, however instead of maintaining any semblance of muscle I had become a flabby DYEL. Not only that but I could tel my muscles would be tired in one set. I am 100% positive I did not miscount. I have been counting calories for 11 months and I have been losing weight the whole time, so I do not that there is a problem there.
Give it a week or two. Your body was in starvation mode and is hording all of the calories. I bet you haven't shit yet either.
So im only just finding out about "complete proteins" etc and have been eating 100g of peanuts a day for a year +, I want to carry this on so what foods should I pair with them to make it "complete"?
consuming low carbs so bread is out, but I heard dairy works, does this include butter?
Meats are complete proteins. Plants are incomplete proteins.
>>41755440
as long as you consume meats as well, you're good.
If you're gonna be having all those nuts. That's a lot of omega 6. Make sure you have a lot of fish/olive oil/coconut oil to bump that omega 3/omega 6 ratio to help out with inflammation
137 pounds. I'm starting SS next week. If I eat my body weight in protein a day, get necessary water and vitamin intake, and have a decent caloric surplus, I'm hoping to achieve some gains. Any workout / health pitfalls I should avoid? Just gimme a quick rundown.
By body weight in protein I obviously mean 137 grams not 137 pounds
>>41755280
EAT BIG TO GET BIG CMON
>>41755276
Don't forget all of your dietary requirements are dynamic not static and need to be updated weekly, fortnightly, monthly etc as you progress.
Just out of curiosity, what exactly do you think SS is?
What's some of the dumbest unironic shit advice you've heard?
>You don't need to do bicep curls or ab workouts, compounds are all you need!
>Running is good for you! You need 100% perfect form all the time and MAYBE your knees won't get fucked up but you should still do it!
>Just do a 24 hour fast :)))
>>41755001
running is good for you though, not long distance though. but Sprints are great for cardiovascular strength
>>41755001
wut
>>41755001
You need arm workouts, but ab workouts with the big five are unnecessary. Squats, deads, and power cleans all work abs to an extent.
What's for dinner /fit/?
Pic related for me
>>41754886

>>41754809
>Get excited over oly videos
>Still have shit teknik
>Still can only clean 185 lb
reminds me of the pasta of the guy who never did squats before trying to do BW squats, can someone post it?
>do 200 crunches and working on doing an additonal 200 push-ups everyday
>run 2 miles 3 times a week
>eat 1500 calories a day
>ask /fit if this is a good routine to be a healthy and attractive person
>tell me this is a terrible routine and that lifting is a much better idea
>look into cost of barbell set
>one hundred and fifty fucking dollars
i am a poor fag what do i do about this problem
>>41754798
Get a job.
>>41754798
body weight fitness or gym membership, a percentage of income should be going to health - not a brazzers subscription
>>41754805
Cant, I don't have legs
how do i buy gatorade in bulk
>>41754356
Buy it in powder form.
Telephone a university sports unit and ask where they get theirs.
>you're welcome
Contact the manufacturer or if you want just wholesale try Costco

How the fuck am I supposed to stop consuming so many carbs? THEY'RE GOD DAMN EVERYWHERE.
>>41754237
Chicken and butter for you;)
>>41754237
Duh you stupid fucking nigger. Two of your three meals should be protein powder only
>>41754237
white fish is pure protein and nothing else, it's vastly superior to protein powder.
How is everyone doing on their weekend meal prep?
