Should I cut or bulk if I'm trying to reach otttermode? Currently I'm doing Reddits Recommended Routine Bodyweight exercises, and jump roping on off days. Do I need more muscle?

Which steroids still count as natty?
>>39526334
Technically, yes.
>>39526334
The only naturally occurring ones?
>Natural steroids found in the human body are lipids and in most cases produced from cholesterol in the adrenal glands and gonads. Being fat-soluble, natural steroids can pass through a cell-membrane thereby attaching themselves to a hormonal steroid receptor in-turn causing changes to the cell at hand. In most cases these steroids are transported through the blood stream to protein carriers.

Is this achieveable natty?
OK /fit/ I give up. I've tried lifting but it just isn't working for me. I think this is because I'm too intelligent to lift.
I have an IQ of 170 so I know what I'm talking about. Basically, just like any other muscle, the brain consumes energy when it is being used. Let me make an analogy you guys can understand: you know those people who walk on a treadmill for barely 10 minutes and then eat a box of donuts and wonder why their workout isn't working? The brain is just like that. Most of you have never pushed it even close to the point where you'd be making any mental gains. If you had you would actually feel tired afterwards. This is why it is difficult to workout if you are as smart as me. I am constantly pushing my brain to the limit and am tired throughout the day because of it. In fact I have trouble even making basic decisions and concentrating because there is so much going on in my head. Although I can get into any college (for undergrad, masters and PHD) and get any job I want, I often overthink things and feel guilty or am pessimistic about situations. Its an annoying tradeoff, but one that I make to maintain my intelligence. My brain works so hard I tend to lose appetite and get headaches which doesn't allow me to even make it out of bed to the gym. This is because I am so smart. I think about everything, from science to math to philosophy to history to suicide. I am very smart.

In 7th grade, I took an SAT test without preparing for it at all, it was spur-of-the-moment, I knew about it about an hour ahead of time and didn't do any research or anything. I scored higher on it than the average person using it to apply for college in my area.
An IQ test has shown me to be in the 99.9th percentile for IQ. This is the highest result the test I was given reaches; anything further and they'd consider it to be within the margin of error for that test.
My mother's boyfriend of 8 years is an aerospace engineer who graduated Virginia Tech. At the age of 15, I understand physics better than him, and I owe very little of it to him, as he would rarely give me a decent explanation of anything, just tell me that my ideas were wrong and become aggravated with me for not quite understanding thermodynamics. He's not particularly successful as an engineer, but I've met lots of other engineers who aren't as good as me at physics, so I'm guessing that's not just a result of him being bad at it.
I'm also pretty good at engineering. I don't have a degree, and other than physics I don't have a better understanding of any aspect of engineering than any actual engineer, but I have lots of ingenuity for inventing new things. For example, I independently invented regenerative brakes before finding out what they were, and I was only seven or eight years old when I started inventing wireless electricity solutions (my first idea being to use a powerful infrared laser to transmit energy; admittedly not the best plan).
I have independently thought of basically every branch of philosophy I've come across. Every question of existentialism which I've seen discussed in SMBC or xkcd or Reddit or anywhere else, the thoughts haven't been new to me. Philosophy has pretty much gotten trivial for me; I've considered taking a philosophy course just to see how easy it is.
>>39524668
Psychology, I actually understand better than people with degrees. Unlike engineering, there's no aspect of psychology which I don't have a very good understanding of. I can debunk many of even Sigmund Freud's theories.
I'm a good enough writer that I'm writing a book and so far everybody who's read any of it has said it was really good and plausible to expect to have published. And that's not just, like, me and family members, that counts strangers on the Internet. I've heard zero negative appraisal of it so far; people have critiqued it, but not insulted it.
I don't know if that will suffice as evidence that I'm intelligent. I'm done with it, though, because I'd rather defend my maturity, since it's what you've spent the most time attacking. The following are some examples of my morals and ethical code.
I believe firmly that everybody deserves a future. If we were to capture Hitler at the end of WWII, I would be against executing him. In fact, if we had any way of rehabilitating him and knowing that he wasn't just faking it, I'd even support the concept of letting him go free. This is essentially because I think that whoever you are in the present is a separate entity from who you were in the past and who you are in the future, and while your present self should take responsibility for your past self's actions, it shouldn't be punished for them simply for the sake of punishment, especially if the present self regrets the actions of the past self and feels genuine guilt about them.
I don't believe in judgement of people based on their personal choices as long as those personal choices aren't harming others. I don't have any issue with any type of sexuality whatsoever (short of physically acting out necrophilia, pedophilia, or other acts which have a harmful affect on others - but I don't care what a person's fantasies consist of, as long as they recognize the difference between reality and fiction and can separate them).
the brain isnt full of skeletal myocytes
Is it me or /fit/ is more dead than other times?. Did all the people go?
Threads are slow
Always the same people
Boring shit
/fit/ died a long time ago
Now it's just a few of us huddled around its flaming corpse trying to keep warm while beating away newfags, crossboarders, and redditors.

Calling on the anon who posted this picture a few days ago
He said he was a weighter and is currently running a low does of test and I was wondering how many mg a week
I'm thinking about running 309mg of test e a week fory first "cycle" about 10 weeks
>inb4 go 500mg a week
>pic realated
>>39524068
I thought the noob dose started at 400
>>39524068
*waiter fucking shit
>>39524071
The majority start at 500mg a week but I want to reduce the sides as much as possible that's why I'm opting for 300mg plus it's my first "cycle" so my receptors are fresh... I know I won't make as much gains as if I did 500mg a week
But I'd rather test the waters first
Sup /fit/, 5'7 here.
Not really a regular, but used to workout on the reg until doc told me to take a break (right nut started shoopin up into my pelvis when I came) but now that it has been a month of no workout after 3 months of workouts I feel unmotivated a bit.
Inspire me /fit/?

TRAPS
lets talk traps, and dont get me wrong im not talking about females with feminine penises here.
are rack pulls a meme ?
are shrugs beter than heavy rack pulls?
Are tbar and pendlay rows good for traps too ?
ITT: how to grow decent traps while being on that n-card
pic related our guy Eric swears by heavy as shit rack pulls. Me being a noob can only hold in hands like 200kg with no straps and for a short while, shouldl i even try heavier or is that risking injury

What is the difference between isolate and concentrated protein powder?
Can anybody backup the chocolate brownie flavour of pic related?
It's all Splenda. Just get unflavored and make chocolate brownies.
>>39526486
i think the second has milk so if you are lactose intolerant you go for the first option
i am not so i go for the second because it's cheaper
Thoughts on this?
I'm home gym and doing my cardio at home too as well as weights would be so convenient. I was thinking of just getting one and doing swings. Short intense cardio following lifting. Also, what weight should one start with?
Don't do kettlebells unless you are fine with people questioning your sexuality.
>>39526317
https://www.t-nation.com/training/ten-thousand-swings-to-fat-loss
>>39526317
so you're thinking lifting weights is actually cardio?
Did I get this right
Or is the definition of cardio among weightlifters a littlle different to what I am used

Man clarence is a beast now.
Having some trouble with my fitness pal.
Previously I had been using pen and paper to count calories and watch macros.
So I weighed my breakfast this morning as per usual, and recorded the values.
Trying to enter them seems to be impossible? EG, When I search for Ground Beef 85%, all sorts of crap comes up 'Ground Beef 4oz' 'Ground beef 1 oz' 'Ground beaf Enchildas' etc
But theres no option for just normal ground beef and then allowing me to enter the actual weight (4.6oz)?
This seems sort of absurd, I have to be doing something wrong. They can't expect me to eat all my foods in increments of round numbers and or only eat the amounts they tell me to such as 1 oz or 4 oz etc
PS: This is the same for all foods: EG when I search tomatoes I have to pick one of the amount of tomatoes they have in the database?
>>39526260
pls respond
No one uses this app to count? Alternatively what do you use?
>>39526466
use google to get calories and add them yourself
>>39526466
alternatively and a much better option is cronometer
