So if you can gain 1lb a muscle a month
What would happen if you only trianed upper body ?
Or is the 1lb number based off of working your whole body
First, it is 2 lb LEAN muscle every month for your first year of working out.
Conditions have to be just perfect. That is working out every muscle group.
Don't be a faggot and only work out upper body. Nothing looks more stupid than having twigs for legs and big upper body.
You can google how much muscle your body can produce. After a year it declines quite a bit.
>>35355846
Its based off working the whole body (its also just a rough estimate based on a whole lot of ballpark ideas that may or may not be applicable).
Muscular recovery is about the individual muscles - if you go from doing ten sets of squats and 10 sets of bench to just doing twenty sets of bench, your chest isn't going to recover at the same rate.

so for a beginner 4lb weight gain a month would be reasonable ?
If you dont intermittent fast while cutting, your a fucking retard
>>35355822
*you're
>>35355822
we get it dude you just started lifting and think you know everything.
IF is great, did it for a while.
Cutting normally is great to, do it currently.
Don't be a zealot, a lot of shit works and what works best is different for everyone.
>>35355822
What exactly is intermittent fasting anyway
I've read everything from "eat only every second day" to "only eat one meal every day" to "eat normally two days then don't eat for two days"

Hey /fit/, new to lifting, been about two months and just over the past few weeks got serious about dieting. Counting calories, meal planning, etc. Despite my best efforts I can't seem to intake enough protien, so I'm going to start drinking protien shakes. How can I pack the maximum amount possible into a shake? Today was my first attempt and it was the powder, plain greek yoghurt, milk, and frozen berries.
Tl;td need maximum protien shake recipes, wat do
U forgot to add semen bro

>>35355667
how will this help ;-;
Skin aesthetics general
Alright anyone who wants that smooth ass baby skin (face/body) GTFIH
these are the things I am using that seem to be helping and what they do
>Vitamin A
very important for the growth of skin, and maintaining healthy bones, nails, and hair. It helps to repair injured skin, and improve dry, scaly skin. It is absorbed through the skin, and helps the skin remain soft and plump. When Vitamin A is topically applied, it stimulates the skin mitotically, and metabolically, therefore maintaining the skin in a youthful condition. Experiments have showed that Vitamin A applied topically keeps the epidermis saturated with the vitamin,also stimulates the renewal process of the epidermal cells which causes thickening of the epidermis. At the same time, collagen content in the skin was increased and improvement in skin elasticity could be seen (very important!)
>Vitamin C
One of the most important roles of vitamin C is to help heal wounds and scar tissue. It is required for the synthesis of collagen, and acts as a cementing substance between skin cells. The most important role of collagen is to provide barrier for infections and diseases, and to promote healing of wounds. (Vitamin C looses its potency very quickly which can make it worthless unless used immediately. It also oxidizes very quickly when exposed to air and light. Look for vitamin C in an airtight brown glass bottle or metal tube which can block out sunlight.)
>Zinc
Quite possibly, the most essential supplement to take in the prevention of stretch marks. The most important property of zinc is the production of collagen. Collagen holds the bodies skin tissues together. It is the most abundant structural protein and makes up 80% of all connective tissue. In fact, 75% of the dermis consists of collagen and it makes up 90% of its volume. When a person has enough collagen, it is near impossible to get stretch marks. Collagen is not available in food, so it's very essential to supplement with zinc.
>Vitamin E
Another very important vitamin when trying to prevent stretch marks. Vitamin E is needed for the maintenance of normal body metabolism and in the protection and healing of body tissues and skin. For skin care, vitamin e is most beneficial as an anti-oxidant in preserving the health of skin tissue and membranes. It is also used to help the recovery process of post surgical scars. There are two ways to take Vitamin E. These include orally and topically. Applying the Vitamin E topically onto the stretch marks, or taking Vitamin E pills.
>Multivitamin
Covers the basis of anything your deficient in
>2GOWAD
Stay hydrated brahs
>Cold showers
Keeps the pores closed, before you get out of your shower turn all the way cold for 2-3minutes
>Palmers cocoa butter
Moisturizing keeps the skin young and healthy
>No facial cleansers
Just stopped a few days ago except washing with water and my face is improving already
>Shower right after gym
Don't sit around all sweaty
>Exfoliating gloves
Buy these gloves from dollar store and you wear them in the shower and go to town it gets rid of tons of dead skin.
>Apple Cider Vinegar
A lot of people report skin improving drastically after taking 2 tsp shots of this 2-3 times a day I myself havnt tried it yet
Feel free to add anything
Sperm on my face has done wonders.
>>35355437

SL.
Rippetoe is the fat gym teacher you had in high school.
Who /dirtybulk/ here?
I'm 6'0 160 pounds and I can't gain weight at all when I'm only eating healthy. Would it be fine for me to just go on a dirty bulk and eat whatever the fuck I want?
>>35355025
6'4" 175 here. Been bulking at 4500 and gained 3 pounds this month. Ideally I'll get most of my calories from healthy, whole food sources. It just takes more time. As long as you're not a lazy cunt this is the best way to do it. In my experience, however, it's better to eat a hamburger and get the calories you need than to eat a kale salad and be in a deficit that day. It also depends on your body type. Have you eaten poorly in the past and still maintained a low bf %? If yes then you can get away with eating dirtier food in your diet. If not you have to ask yourself if you're okay with gaining some extra bodyfat.

>her ass is in full view and I can't not stare without it being obvious I moved to avoid seeing it
>she does it again and again makes small talk with this guy
>I'm looking at her butt when I realize she's looking down...at me.
>we literally catch eyes and now she's staring at me without saying anything while tlaking to the guy with her hoodie on
>guy leaves and she begins doing captain shairs and it's awkward now
>she jumps off the captains chairs and kinda stumbles forward
>we stare at each other again then she leaves to the front of the gym and I guess leaves
I don't know if she thinks i'm creepy or not but she never does captain chair so I thought she came over just because we hadn't seen each other in a while.
