How much protein should I aim for a day /fit/? I'm 5'10" 175lbs and I'm fairly new to lifting, some sites say 1 gram of protein per lb of bodyweight and some say that since I'm not an elite lifter that I only need 0.4 grams per lb of bodyweight
which is it?

You need 0.5 g of protein per pound of bodyweight
.8x your body weight

HGH but not by much and your entire body gets fucked

tie a weather balloon around your neck and put weights on your ankles to counter the lift
Limb lengthening surgery. Supposed to be one of the most experimental and painful procedures a doctor can perform. But hey if you want another 3-6 inches then that's how you do it
I have just eaten a tupperware box of rice, with 1 chicken breast and branches of broccoli.
I am still hungry. I can feel the barren empty waste inside my stomach.
Do I need to eat shit like this to bulk? What do bulking meals look like?
>>40066473
Isnt it a good thing that youre still hungry though
>>40066501
I want my meals to actually count though. Can i just make up the xtra calories with ice cream or some shit? Not bothered about getting fat.
>>40066714
>Not bothered about getting fat.
then fuck off out of here and go to bodybuilding.com or r/fitness.
Anyone have any experience with this. I fucked my lower back up about three months ago on the leg press.
Been checking into building one of these. I have just been doing non-weighted Reverse Hypers. Can't tell if it is doing anything or not.
Its a great exercise. If you do it properly you should feel a burn in your lower back after high reps even with no weight.
I also highly recommend inversion boots. You can literally feel your vertebra separating. Its a really odd, but somewhat relaxing sensation.
>>40066423
thanks bro
I always feel really uncomfortable doing those at the reverse hyper machine at my gym.
No joke, my genitals just don't seem to find a comfortable place to be at when laying there and it starts to hurt.
How's life fit?
You happy with the way things turned out to be?
No.

When a person is bulking and then cuts, if they want to make more muscles later, do they have to go full bulk again and cover all all of their beautiful muscles? Is there way around this?
yes, it's called clean bulk and if done properly you don't have to cut for more than a week or two at most
>>40066322
And yet nobody on this entire fucking board can explain clean bulking
>>40066380
i can give it a shot
3500 calories is roughly 1 lbs so if you eat at 500 calories surplus for a week you get that. that weight gain is 1:1 muscle to fat ratio meaning 0.5 lbs of muscle and 0.5 of fat for beginners. note that muscle gain will be much less the more advanced and muscular you are.
for beginners maximum weekly muscle gain is around 0.5 lbs so gaining anything over that will be mostly be just fat. now you might be asking why people do dirty bulk then if muscle gain is capped per week. it's not really capped per se and you are still gaining some minimal muscle but a lot more fat so the ratio gets skewed more towards fat than pure muscle. google this shit if you want to know it in more detail.
you can minimize the fat gain from this by doing cardio thus extending the bulking period. 500 surplus might be a bit too much depending on how much cardio you are willing to do but something like 250 surplus is perfect (but not optimal for beginners for above reasons) and maintainable for a very long time with very little cutting required because most of the fat you gain will be countered by cardio.
the bad thing is that 250 is very hard to track since that comes out to 0.5 lbs per week gain. hitting this is difficult as well since your daily caloric need is never really the same number and changes depending on how active you are and other factors throughout the day. other factors are like water weight, poo, etc. it's a slow but best way of maximizing muscle gain and minimizing fat gain.
so on dirty bulk there comes a point where you are FORCED to cut for extended period of time simply because of how fast you are gaining weight compared to clean bulk but the results are better when compared to clean bulk. being able to lift more weight = more stress on muscles.
on clean bulk it's a slow process but if done properly you hardly have to cut and can bulk for almost entire year with a few weeks here and there of cutting.
It most certainly hasn't, in my experience.
How can I feel good when I'm surrounded by people that are bigger, stronger, more handsome, and just all around better than me? I'm over here, a skellie dyel lanklet with bitch-tits and a paunch, struggling to get the plates on and off the goddamn bar.
Even if I got big and /fit/, I'd still have no coordination, I'd still have asperger's, I'd still be all fucked up in the head, and I'd still be nearly fucking blind. No matter how strong I get, it won't make me not a pussy.
I'll keep going to the gym, but god does it make me want to kill myself
>>40066223
Protip: nobody gives a shit what you do unless they can get something out of you so just do you
>Even if I got big and /fit/, I'd still have no coordination, I'd still have asperger's, I'd still be all fucked up in the head, and I'd still be nearly fucking blind. No matter how strong I get, it won't make me not a pussy.
You can work on all of these except being blind senpai. Yes, even your aspergers.
Stop blaming exercise for your lack of motivation to improve yourself.
And stop thinking anyone gives a single fuck about what you do in the gym. At most they might look over and chuckle that you're small and they will proceed to continue not giving a fuck 2 minutes later. It doesn't matter,
I go to a strongman gym where some of the women are stronger than me. It's good motivation desu.

Well /fit/? You've helped me before. Are Clif Bars a meme?
Pretty good.
Obviously making your own is healthier, just dont overdo them. A bit more fat than i'd recommend but overall a decent choice.
Is OK. Don't eat too many, it's basically protein candy. But it's not bad for getting that extra bit.

Hello, I'm 25 have been working out for years. I have a decent build about 205 lbs. My top abs are somewhat there, but can't get rid of belly / love handles, what can I do to trim up? I eat reasonably health and don't drink pop. Pic related it's me
>>40065944
>Can't lose belly
>205 lbs
Yeah what can the problem possibly be???
Eat less. Train more. Be patient.

>1pl8 ez squat

Yup you'll never see me go above 225 on squats no matter how strong I am. Currently doing 185 for sets of 20. Fuck anything more than 225.

wow, nice to see someone thinking like me. seeing those 4pl8 guys taking 15sec pause every rep really makes me cringe. If you can't do it smoothly put less weight!
what the fuck is this
>>40065890
It's to help you stretch. My gym has one. Pretty good if you don't have a buddy to stretch you out. Just follow the instructions on the machine.
>>40065922
it doesnt have any instructions
>>40065890
The best stretching machine ever.
Sucks it doesn't come with instructions for you. The one at my gym does and omfg, the beeeeeeeeeest
Who here /dehydrated/? I can't seem to drink enough water no matter how hard I try, it's like I have to force myself to drink it, but I know I need it. I tried to cheat and drink Gatorade but I think that made it worse. Being dehydrated makes life hard as fuck. How do I fix it?
eat less salt
Literally whats so hard about drinking like 1,5-2L of water a day you fucking pussy.
