I've been doing SS for a while now and it's starting to get hard and my rest times are getting very long too, but I can still progress I feel.What should I do?
Current stats:
5'6 Manlet
157 pounds
Squat: 3x5 @ 315
Deadlift 1x5 @ 390
Bench 3x5 @ 220
Power Clean 5x3 @ 200
The Press 3x5 @ 155
Weighted Chinup 3x8 +45 pounds
Weighted Dips 3x8 + 50 pounds
Do you just eat forever and grow bigger and stronger with SS?

Keep progressing until you stall, then deload.
When you plateau, change to s novice routine

I outsize my colleagues by 20-30lbs and I'm a solid 4 inches taller than most of them, probably stronger than them too and I just know I could snap them like twigs in a fight yet I'm still the butt of all the office jokes and get the piss taken out of me constantly, why?

So is the good old 500 calories deficit cut still considered the best way to go when shredding?
Ive been doing that for 4 months now and lost 8kg but its so damn boring, i wanna speed that shit up a bit. I want to lose like 4 more kg fat, is it a good idea to go for a higher deficit now and accept a bit more muscle loss, considering that i will soon be back in a surplus and can build it back up?

No, a 500 deficit to avoid muscle loss is literally autism.
Just double it, twice the speed, do a 1000 deficit.
You'll get the cut done in half the time and you can get back to bulking.
The 500 deficit meme is fueled off of laziness.

Who /nofap/ here? What differences have you noticed? Has it helped you make gains in the gym?
I'm on day 7. Porn and nofap free. I'm just hoping to make some social gains to talk to the ladies. Tired of spilling my spaghetti everywhere and I'm desperate. Even if nofap is pointless I at least gotta stop watching porn.. It's ruining my life

God, if they are gonna make him vegan, at least give him some fucking B12. That is one of the few fucking thing that vegan people should take in pills or something like that.
Give him smashed and in special formula or something like that

So all this time I've been avoiding soy based foods. I thought that it was mostly broscience but it couldn't hurt to skip it.
I also hear similar things about dairy and meat. Again I assumed it was broscience but continued to drink tons of milk and eat lots of cheap frozen chicken, as they're cheap and tasty and full of protein. Then I found this study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19496976
>After the intake of cow milk, serum estrone (E1) and progesterone concentrations significantly increased, and serum luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone and testosterone significantly decreased in men. Urine concentrations of E1, estradiol, estriol and pregnanediol significantly increased in all adults and children
Did Rippetoe trick us?

Rippletits wants you to become a trap so you can cuddle with him.
But seriously, since you just skipped soy because there's one study saying it increases oestrogen and 100 saying it doesn't makes you a moron already. This is just underlined by the fact you can't even google for your second concern either. Not researchign yourself, never gonna make it.
1/10 for making me reply.
>>
I for the life of me can't find chicken anywhere that isn't from test tube caged chemical conditions. And I live in a country that's main income comes from farming.
At the same time I consume 7+ chicken breasts a week and realise it's not feasible to expect these chickens to be raised in a natural environment
>>
If you want to avoid these hormones your best course of sction would be to go vegan.
The estrogens in soy are plant based and studies suggest these can not be absorbed by the body, still avoiding soy is not bad.
Animal products are filled with crap and avoiding them will be very beneficial to your long term health.

How the fuck are you even suppose to use this machine properly?
Can someone explain how to do rear delt flyes correctly? Is it really just doing what pic related is doing or is there some trick to actually hitting them like squeezing your shoulder blades your something?

One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled.
It was a time of darkness. It was a world of fear. It was the age of gargoyles.
Stone by day, warriors by night. We were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years.
Now, here in Manhattan...the spell is broken. And we live again!
We are defenders of the night.
We are GARGOYLES!

I've been dieting(was 345 pounds, now 280, still losing) and I've gotten a taste of this and fell in love with it.
Is it bad for you cause of the honey? Or is it still good for you? I used to eat al-bran cereal, but since tasting this I can't go back.
Should I give up on this? Or is it still fine even with honey?

The fiber sort of cancels out the sugars. It looks fine, bucko

Fucking proud of you for losing that weight senpai. It won't hurt just eat a little less than you normally do, or mix then 3/4 old 1/4 new to the usual amount. Don't make your diet hell and dont make it fail. You will make it
>>
You should have 0 (zero) added sugar in your diet, all the sugars you consume ahouls come from whole fruits and whole fruits ONLY.
With this in mind you can probably answer your own question.
