If progressive overload is the main reason for muscle growth, why should i use techniques like supersets, drop sets, reps till failure etc.
>>38568833
Adding more reps is progressive overload
>>38568853
As far as i know, you need to get stronger to get bigger. Doing more reps doesn't make you stronger, it just improves your endurance, that's why 5 reps are optimal for size.

If potatoes have high GI index, why are they a staple of fit diet?
Aren't the high GI carbohidrates the bad ones?
>>38568140
>why are they a staple of fit diet?
they are not
No. Potatoes are complex carbs, thus good carbs.
Bad carbs are simple carbs.
Potatoes are basically bread that grows in the ground
Just like how avocados are basically butter that grows on trees
Is it possible to lose muscle in legs while adding muscle to the shoulders and arms? Trying to achieve Grecian Ratios, but my shoulders are too small, and my upper thigh too big.
I'm considering just stopping all legwork and bulking at 300 above maintenence, doing upper body work only.
Also, stupid questions general
Anesthetic bump
>>38567984
Yeah it sounds retarded though, but only doing upper body is literally dudebro mode.
Speaking of that,
anyone know how effective zinc and Vitamin D are for test level increase?
Seems all like bro-science but I'm still intrigued to supplement vitamin D

Also milk, chicken, protein powder, oatz and bananas are your staples
>>38567685
Apparently I fucked something up but no one told me until I got fired. Makes no sense desu
Is it true kali muscle used to rape men in prison?

The "rape" part makes it sound like he's more of a bad ass.
hey /fit/, just started lifting and am in college with no access to a full kitchen. I have a microwave, electric kettle, and refrigerator and could use some meal ideas, especially for breakfasts. Also, any other tips for a beginning lifter would be appreciated. For reference, I'm doing Stronglifts 5x5
You're in a dorm, right? Look up what appliances are allowed and see what you can get. I believe most allow slow cookers. If you can, get one
Just give up. You are not gonna make it.
>>38567615
Why the fuck did I just say that.
Carry on, OP! Never give up!
