sticky recommends doing about 2 weeks of maintenance after finishing a long cut. you guys haven any empirical or anecdotal evidence that this is beneficial, or is it just a theory?

Pretty sure that the OTC topical creams and stuff aren't particularly effective.
You'll likely need a course of oral anti fungals which can take a long time to work. I also have a toenail fungal infection and need to go see the doctor about it...

Cut off the toe. I did this when I had a recurring ingrown toenail. I had it corrected 5 times and then decided fuck it. Cut it off, went to ER, got on some pain meds, was fine in a week. There aren't any problems with balance btw that's a meme.
Nobody notices until I point it out either.

Small/Minor muscle group growth on a cut?

So I've been on a 20% (450Cal) cut for about 3 weeks now. I know to get optimal muscle growth for the major muscle groups (chest, back, legs) you should be eating at maintenance or above and perform ~30-60 reps per muscle group per week. If you don't eat at maintenance or above then you won't get the best, or maybe even no growth for these major muscle groups. I was wondering if small/minor muscle groups (biceps, forearms, abs, etc.) can still grow significantly on a cut, and the rep ranges required to do so. I have around 12 weeks left for this cut and would like to get the most out of it. I've been lifting seriously for 14 months and this is my second cut. I'm 19 years and 2 months old so I think my test levels are a little above average. Anyone got any ideas?

I know you probably don't have the attention span to read and understand any scientific research so I'll just link Scooby and Athlean-X:

If I can't gain size, even in minor muscle groups. I want to know how much reps to do per week so I don't lose size. 30-60 like bigger groups? More? Less?

Hey /fit/ I need help. Do you know of any good underwear, like boxers that can absorb sweat and ordor? I ask because I shower after my workouts, but if i sit for more than an hour my ass starts sweating and it smells fucking awful.
I've cleared rooms before because of this it's so fucking embarrassing.

Im doing a 8000 calories 3 days before a meet, 5500 2 days before and around 4k the day before.
the goal is to eat loads of carbs to make sure I got plently of energy on the platform.
How would you guys spend 8k calories?
Im thinking of something like.
Breakfast, a loaf of bred with butter and some meat on that.
Eat 1-2 packs of rice cakes during the day
Eat like 1kg of french fries, visit mcdonalds and order a double menu or something, eat rice and chicken, maybe some sliced potatoes before and eat like a bag of chips or whatever.
what would u guys eat?

I'm assuming you're not worried about making weight, right?
You actually shouldn't change your eating habits too much before any sporting event, just eat your usual diet to avoid any upsets or unplanned feelings. On meet day stick to lean proteins and quick carbs, sports drinks and whey is a good bet. You don't want to feel bloated or anything.
Basically, assuming you have full glycogen stores, overeating won't help you much, if at all and might hinder you.
>>
>>36470847
im on a diet right now, which means my glycogen should be kind of low, hence the overeating!
yeah im not worried about making weight, we will compete with wilks anyway
>>
>>36470865
yeah I'd really just suggest eating at a moderate surplus the week before, nothing too crazy.
definitely don't eat a ton of junk foods. fiber and fats too close to meet day, those will most likely leave you feeling funky.

So, manlets, if there was a pill that made you 6'1" tall but costed $5000, would you buy it?
It has no drawbacks and you'll grow out in 1-2 years, according to how turbo you are

He's on roids tho. He eats like shit and I don't he even lifts. He probably just juices and hits the gym 3x a week for 30minute deadlift sessions and that's.

What is /fit/'s opinion on this gym? I was thinking of joining up. It's a little more expensive than a normal gym but it does have a lot more to offer, I feel.

Will you use those extra things every week? If not, look for a bodybuilding/powerlifting gym in your area - no one there cares if you're a beginner and they're usually cheap as hell.
Sure a pool is nice but if you're going to use it twice a year, it's better to just pay to use a place with a pool when you want to.
>>
>>36470549
I plan on using the pool 3+ times a week. They also have a climbing wall.. But I don't see me using THAT more than a few times a year.
>>
>>36470518
I went for a while because my uncle paid for my membership.
The pool and basketball courts were nice, but I mostly just lifted.

I've had to stop taking whey protein as I can't handle the protein rage anymore.
At First I was able to bury the anger deep down, but now after a shake I'm finding myself getting into fights with random people in the street. If I drink it on my own, im punching the walls and breaking things. How is this stuff legal?
Since I've quit juicing the protein, I still find natural sources such as eggs get me quite annoyed.
How do you pro body lifters cope with protein rage?

Ever sense I started mixing my whey protein with soy milk instead of blood, not only have I stopped blacking out and waking up with blood on my hands, but I feel generally more serene. I also grew C cup breasts, which is kind of a mixed bag

How often can you do pullups? I have a pullup bar at home but I don't know how to sync home workouts with gym work outs
I lift two times a week, both full body workouts. I don't want to cuck my gains from those sessions. Could I just do them every day?

Like every other muscle group, 2-3 times a week depending on your recovery

As much as you want senpai

I do them daily. 4 sets of 6. Bodyweight. I used to have trouble doing 3 a day so I kind of measure my progress by how many more I can do per week.

Go anyway.
You can easily lift in a fasted state; it's all in your head.

Probably just for a couple of days until your system gets used to it.

Just got kicked out of the house.
I can afford to eat white bread. Meat only MAYBE once in a week or so. Gym is out of question.
How long until my gains disappear, /fit/?

Because I got too aggressive and couldn't hold my rage anymore. Also, they found my antidepressants and thought I was doing drugs. Didn't feel like explaining it to them.

Do you calorie count on a cut or just portion control? Has anyone lost more weight not counting?

Calorie count. You'll always lose more weight knowing what you're eating. Some people fixate on food more when they're keeping track of it - that's the only reason I can think of that it might backfire.
>>
>>36469681
>implying you don't count your calories in order to control the portion size
>>
>>36471837
this
portion control by itself only works for people who are used to eating bigass plates of food + seconds and could benefit from just cutting out that extra helping
but that's lazy too
