Herbal supplements in a nutshell
When bulking does quality of macros matter?
Say I eat 5 ice cream sandwiches on top of what I eat when cutting. Will I gain muscle?
>>40211199
no.
>>40211232
why not?
Layne Norton has a phd in nutrition and he says it doesn't matter.
>>40211232
No to the first question or second?

I claim this post for my sweet prince and good friend Chadlex.
>>40211201
I just finished week 4 day 1 of my Sheiko prep cycle. I feel sufficiently peaked, can I skip days 3 and 4? I feel like they'd just overwork me. Can I just do day 2 of week 4 on Wednesday and then go straight to skills test on Saturday? I feel ready
Also before deadlifts on Wednesday can I do an 80% squat triples instead of deficit deads just to hammer in a bit more form practice?
How man Pounds on my body till im "thicc"? How man Pounds on my lifts till im "strong"?
6ft, 170 lbs
PRs:
Bench:195
Squat: 265
Dead: 365

Haven't bought any of this crap in AGES because my body developed immunity.

Fair enough
I was hoping for something a bit more constructive
Your bench is shit, really they're all shit besides OHP. Try lifting weights.
I say this not as an insult but a fact.
whats the effect of wearing boxers on your ballsack?
should i start wearing boxer briefs?
I need answers motherfuckers
>>40210985
do whatever the fuck you want and stop relying on others to tell you what to do
>>40210751
boxers are for manchildren that haven't grown up yet.
How do I get rid of back and shoulder acne? I wanna start wearing tank tops to show off my gains but I can't.

>>40210582
Try cutting out dairy, that works for tons of people. If that doesn't work, see a dermatologist.
Ketoanon here, down 18lbs since I began keto 3 weeks ago.
Age - 24
Height - 6'0"
Starting weight - 295
Current weight - 277
So why aren't you other fatfags getting on this keto train? Shit works mang.
>>40210565
Because eating at a 500 calorie deficit also works, except I get to keep my carbs and my pride.
Week four here. I'm loving it.
>>40210565
Any muscle loss, brah?
I'm a ketodude and I lost a half-inch on my biceps, even though it may be fat. I'm just afraid of losing some gains via glycogen depletion.
Anyways, my abs haven't been this visible in like a year and a half.
I need help /fit/

This is the autism I live with, I am a born beta, later found out my Dad had the same issue as well as my cousins. Seems to be on the male side of the family only. I've had sex so I'm not a wizard but I've hit a dry streak, half the reason I avoid trying to get laid is because I'll have to deal with the anxiety and vomiting. The feeling goes away after a while if I hang out with the girl enough but the first few times are rough.
tl;dr How do I stop being an Autist /fit/, how do I talk to girls and get laid without embarrassing myself?
?p
alcohol
>>40210502
You know what used to happen to me?.
Gas.
And sometimes diarrhea.
Couple that with being unable to comfortably fart or poop with a girl at my place and I've lost MANY a fucc to my disgruntled digestive tract. Doesn't happen much nowadays tho. I guess it was stress-related and went away as I got more comfortable with women.
I need some help /fit/, what am I doing wrong?
Pic is about 8 months change for me. I went up about 20 lbs (~150 - ~170). I posted in a recent cbt, had a few people respond that I've been doing something horribly wrong. But I just don't know what.
I had been doing Push,Pull,x,Push,Pull Mon-Friday. I made (slow) strength gains. PR's roughly went:
Bench: 155 up to 205
Deadlift: 200 up to 275
Squat: 145 up to 225
I know I'm not strong by any means, but I felt like I was making progress. But people pointed out in the CBT that it looks like I've put on no muscle at all. After every workout four times a week, I'd come back and have a 2 scoop protein shake, and generally ate over maintenance. Why has my muscle growth been such shit?
I'm currently planning on trying to cut while eating a shitload of protein to maintain what I do have. At this point I just want to look decent, even if I'm skinnier. Pls help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Idk but your chest and shoulders should be way more developed for someone who benches 205. Id say add some upper body accesories because that serms to be where you are lacking but keep bulking, you def put on a good amount of weight.
>>40210272
maybe a two week minicut wouldn't be a bad idea
>>40210272
I haven't made any progress on OHP because whenever I do it consistently my shoulder tweaks and I feel like I'm gonna snap something, so that probably contributes.
>>40210385
Is anything effective really going to happen in just two weeks?
I havent had anything for breakfast in years, but I was given a blender and I'm starting to do smoothies for health reasons.
What are some /fit/ smoothie combinations?

My girlfriend went from 105 lbs - 130 in 6 months. That's 25 pounds. Am i fucked?
>>40209556
Depends on if you've talked to her about it or not. If you have and she refuses to change, leave her.
When she gains weight, add weight to your routine. That way you can see when you have had enough
from working out no, from eating too many tato chips, yes
