Are there any advantages of mass gainers over protein shakes?
I have been taking True Mass and am almost reaching 16 servings, and uh it has helped me gained 3 kgs as a skele.
Before I considered buying another mass gainer, I was thinking of just buying normal whey protein, and blending it with oats, and maybe peanut butter.
The primary reason is cost, each serving of mass gainer brings me to around $4 where I live, although 2 scoops of whey + oats should cost around $3 at most.
What should I opt for?
>>41126796
dunno what your're talking about, I got 4kg of mass gainer for 40 euros, while earlier I bought 2kg of protein powder for 30
>>41126796
Mass gainers are meme because they are just full of cheap shit. Make your own with whey isolate and oats.

It's expensive here http://sg.fitlion.com/cat/mass-gainer
Just took 500mg for my first dose
I'm freaking out, am I gonna die
No going back son
If you feel yourself overheating, take a cold bath and call 911 so the paramedics can watch you die.
RIP
thats what you get for cheating
Do such creatures even exist? does height even matter if you're a manlet and you still slay pussy?
South Americans maybe?
They tend not to over-compensate since most of them are short so they don't feel inferior
One of my best mates is Colombian, and he's really chilled out and confident, plays in a band, good dancer, stuff like that

There's one at my college gym. He's about 5'3, 180-190lbs ~11% bf, seems like an ok guy but never talked to him
I know a couple. One is 5'8 200lbs with perfect face/hair genetics, is incapable of being awkward.
Other is like 5'6 145lbs and he never goes more than a week without having a gf due to using fb/other online shit to message qts while giving no fucks
Muscle and attitude can absolutely compensate for height from what ive seen
I'm going in to a career in law enforcement, I'm in my 20s
The problem is that, in Scotland, there are no guns. More people die in fist fights in pubs than gun violence. Obviously cops can't just punch people, so their "combat" mostly consists of tackling and wrestling people.
I'm 6'0, wide shouldered (used to play rugby), but relatively useless off the pitch.
How can I train to tackle people or fight them without punching them? And no, I can't pull out my telescopic baton unless they try to put their fingers in our eyes, bite, spit or are holding a glass or something. Judo?
Bulk up and learn Sumo
Take a BJJ class

Is this realistic or just a meme?>>41126355
What's BJJ? Spoon feed please

here is his dumbfuck routine
>no steroids were used
So I'm 8 months or so into lifting out of skeleton mode. I know, I'm weak as shit. Anyway, I'm currently benching 165x6 as a max with somewhat ease. Has been this way for about a month. I usually do double progression, but my bench isn't going up in reps.
Now here's the kicker. According to symmetric strength, which has been pretty accurate in my strength and maxes, I should be pushing 185x3 with about the same amount of effort as 165x6. However, I can hardly, just barely move 185 for a single fucking rep. I can't get passed 1. I have tried to get passed 185 for the last two weeks, and yet 1 rep is all I can push up, and I always find myself barely getting the bar up enough to rack it. 165? Blow that shit out for 6 reps like nothing.
So far I tried adding additional volume sets after my workout is over. Go to bench and incline and bust out an extra set or two at 135. My chest is getting more sore after the workouts, but I'm seeing no difference in strength.
What do?
In case anyone cares, stats are:
5'8
140
bench 165x6
squat 225x3
deadlift 275x4
ohp 100x8
>>41126058
>8 months
>only 185 bench
what have you been doing? fix diet, up the calories.and post form video
>>41126058
Strength calculators are inaccurate to your true strength. And as a rule of thumb, all of them will generally overestimate your current level of strength. In order to truly know your strength, simply take a deload week and test your bench press one rep max with strict form.

I started at 120lbs and was incapable of benching more than 40lb dumbbells. I could not bench 115 for a single rep when I started.
I thought I was doing pretty good desu.
>fix diet and up calories
Lmao I already take half my calories in liquid form, and I hit 3k calories/day. If you don't believe me I can post a picture of my weight gainer?
How is it even possible? I'm a cut and my friends want to go to church chicken tomorrow to buy 65 cent chicken legs and thighs and I was expecting one chicken leg to be like 300 calories but on their site its says one drumstick is 110 calories. How is that even possible? Is this a ruse or the holy grail of cutting meals?
>>41125985
Probably just the meat itself is rated at 110 cal.
Breading, soaked oil not includded
>>41125985
>all calories are equal
These are the same people who cry about not being able to get a six pak for summer.
>>41125985
>110 cal for a single drumstick
Not worth it bro.
Hello son

Bloody rare, mate
Hello /fit/, 4chan oldfag here. I have been working out a lot lately, but want to get rid of excess fat to look toned. Any advice? I came here because I can get effective but sometimes less than legal or somewhat painful alternatives. Thank you
Same man. Bump

Dropped about 30lbs in 2 months. I started by fasting then started jump roping and curling. Since I started working out I managed to get into the right mindset about working out regularly and eating healthy. For now I only enjoy jump roping and curling dumbbells. I only get time to work out at work and all i can bring to work is my jump rope and dumbbells, my diet has been a little sloppy but I've been working out daily and also smoking a lot of weed daily. I really want to impress this girl by August. I believe I can start doing more intense workouts for longer periods. Can I have the body I need to impress this girl by august? Idc about the sticky. I want to try to do more short term fasting diets. People have done it for fast body transformations and I'm determined to try them.
>>41125671
Look up DNP.
You can also starve yourself with appetite suppressants. Look up the guy who didn't eat for 11 months and lost 240 pounds.
>>41125781
You too.
Your body fat provides all the energy your body needs a day. Literally starve yourself with multivitamins and some sort of drug to stop hunger.
>smoke weed daily for almost two years
>life seemed much better before i started
what does smoking weed every day do to your overall health? how frequently should you be smoking?
it made me feel dumber and more forgetful so i quit
>>41125460
Never. Smoking will alter your brain in a negative way. Stay away from weed if you're under 30.
>>41125493
It triggers my ocd and paranoid delusions so its best if i dont. And it makes me want tobacco and porn so I'M BREAAAAAKING THE HABBBBIT TONIGHT
What are my chances of picking up a girl in the college town i live in the USA?
Any anons have success with day game?
I'm interested in knowing too, recently accepted a job over at an R&D company located on a college campus, probably gonna be young bitches all over the place
I've had a lot of success. Girls like it when you are assertive.
I usually say something like: "Hi, I'm _____, I know this is a little out of the ordinary, but I thought you were really cute and I'd like to buy you a drink and get to know you a little sometime, if you're free"
Works for me pretty well
>>41125123
Thanks based anon.
Do you just play it by ear and go for digits?
Also, can you elaborate on some locations? I find it odd to suggest going for drinks when you are already at a coffee shop?
Dumbbells or barbells?
>>41124820
Dumbbells
>>41124820
both
>>41124820
Barbells for squats and deadlifts and db for everything else.
