>former fatty
>cut for 2 years

I would have loved to have been able to eat more food to get to my weight instead of having to cut and cut and cut.

eating a lot when food is available is the correct behavior from the evolutionary and physiological point of view
basically there's something wrong with skeletons but in these times having a smaller appetite makes life easier

Push-ups are a great chest exercise. The problem is loading them. Plates fall off easily

Push-ups are great because they're compound. I mean, you do work the chest quite a bit, but you're also giving the arms work too, and some abs as well.

I highly recommend them.

Get a GF to sit on your back. When she gets too light, you break up with her and find a fatter one. Keep on doing this for massive chest gains.

>Is there a sweet spot like 100 cal over maint that all gets used for muscle building?
No.

I'm going to be starting this myself here soon and am also somewhat confused. My understanding is that calories are only part of the equation, the other part being your macros. If you're not getting enough protein then your surplus won't matter.

But I understand what you're asking and I am wondering the same thing - what is the limit on how much your body can use for muscle growth? At what point does your body say "this is enough surplus for muscle repair, either shit out the rest or store it as fat"?

>>36506515
I think +200 calories is the accepted lean bulk amount. It's low enough that even if you're storing fat beyond muscle repair, it won't be a big deal. I think 500 cal bulk might just be a meme. And if it isn't, I hear a lot of complaints about losing gains when cutting all that off.

HAHAHAHAHA

>i started Stronglifts 2 months ago

>>36506139
the trap-bar is more of a standing leg press and since it shifts the load a little more forward you use more of your quads rather than your posterior chain because of where you position the bar and it also drastically changes the bar path. If your goal is to replace the deadlift which is a posterior heavy movement I suggest you look for other alternatives OP

No. It's just wasteful because your body can only process so much. You're going to just shit the rest out. So be sure to eat your feces to correct this.

>>36505874
I love how the ONLY people who look good in crossfit pin. Then again the same could be said about CBT threads...

>>36505874
You forgot the most important part: telling everyone every second that you do crossfit.

Yes. He probably looks like that on accident.

MMA gets the shit kicked out of him as soon as he takes one guy down.

I guess Karate wins. Not USA Karate, though, you guys suck dicks.

You should kill yourself, you fucking dweeb

superman fan detected
how's it feel to be inferior?

>>36504911
You need some ultra divine water, sensu beans, and to be alien.

That said, saiyans made easy gains, just get someone to nearly kill you, heal 100% with a sensu bean, and suddenly you're stronger. I wonder why vegeta never did that after returning to earth from namek. He knew about the beans at that point. It seems like a much easier method than actual training.

First for twinkshits

Taking a week off and doing half hour to an hour of cardio everyday. I'm stuck in a mental muck and I'd figured it was a good day to get me hyped up for the gym again. Anyone got some motivational tips?

P.S. I'm doing 5x5 and was wondering if I should start another program soon.

Squat: 3x3 220 lbs
BP: 5x5 150 lbs
ROW: 5x5 120 lbs
DL: 1x5 315 lbs
OHP: 5x5 100 lbs

>>36504705
if you stop making linear gains then change programs.

if you're doing heavy compound lifts regularly (which you should be), there's generally no need to isolate your core

Right after I wake up and have my morning piss. That's when you are your driest and will get the sickest pump.

>>36504558
OP talks about abs not core in general.

>>36504415
It's almost like the quantity of food you eat has something to do with your weight.

ye i had the same problem. Mom always brought some unhealthy carb shit and i could not just resist the urge and always ate atleast my maintainance or little over.

>>36504415
I guess you have no self control at all and better stay poor forever or you'll be a fatty.
