4	At what age can you no longer build muscle? I’ve read that once you hit 25 you can’t build muscle anymore. 52 y/o here, been training since college. Put on about a pound of muscle last year. Point being that yeah, while that 25 thing is bullshit, you also want to make sure you grab all the young guy gainz that you can. Live it up with that fast metabolism and high T sonny!	/r/askTRP	27/06/19 03:38 AM
8	My date asked what is my age and I responded with "Old enough to fuck". The fact that you said 5.5 instead of 5 might bump it up a little bit ;)	/r/askTRP	15/02/19 12:34 AM
4	How do I tell my son the earth was not created by god 6000 years ago. ^ this The kid's 5 months old! You have bigger fish to fry. Make sure you're in the picture for 18+ years, and your side will be heard.	/r/askTRP	20/10/18 11:43 PM
4	Pissed the fuck off about lifting, need some pointers You are not a special snowflake. Starting Strength has worked for probably thousands of guys. Just run it until you stall, then switch to a decent intermediate program. Check out Barbell Medicine's Bridge 1.0 for example. The gains you make now as a rookie are the best you're ever gonna see. So don't waste that potential by undereating. At 21%, you could get away with eating at maintenance, but for goodness sakes, no deficit. Pack on the muscle first, then cut later.	/r/askTRP	24/08/18 03:18 AM
15	Cold showers - how cold, how long? Do they increase testosterone? I go full cold, as in faucet as far as it can go without turning off the water. I started with just 5 seconds at the end of a normal shower, and increased by as much as possible each subsequent session. Usually it was a few additional seconds each time. For me, once I'd worked up to about a minute, I could go pretty indefinitely after that. I usually stop after about 3 minutes. Dunno about T, but I know they help a lot with my sleep if I do one before bed.	/r/askTRP	10/07/18 07:18 PM
3	Nobody takes me seriously. This used to happen to me a lot with my crew, especially around sportsball, a subject I knew nothing about. When I tried to learn more about it, the roasting was even worse when I inevitably fucked up something I said. For me, the key was to own it. To be autist about it, I'd go with 1/3 of your responses being A&A, 1/3 being an immediate comeback about them (clothes, mother, girlfriend, job, whatever), and the rest just fogging. Be careful how you fog though. It can become real obvious that you…	/r/askTRP	05/07/18 11:41 PM
1	Can anyone recommend good books or guides on nutrition? Go check out the nutrition guide at rippedbody.com and also the "to be a beast" article at barbellmedicine.com. Solid evidence-based science from both.	/r/askTRP	29/06/18 02:20 AM
1	What to do during warm up before workout? Google "Di'Franco Agile 8". Takes about 10 minutes, gets everything ready to go.	/r/askTRP	03/06/18 11:04 PM
1	What's a good beginner program Meh. Maybe if you're over 160 and you do some gomad foolishness. But I just stayed in a simple caloric surplus, 200 kcal a day or so. PRs went up, bodyfat barely blipped.	/r/askTRP	03/06/18 10:47 PM
3	Rephrasing with some clarity 2 things: First, I don't agree with the premise that the marketplace in which you are competing is limited to your social circle. Unless you live in a very small town, or keep your wife on a leash, she probably has many opportunities every day to interact with men outside of your circle. They are your competition as well, don't kid yourself otherwise. And as to your point, let's look at a trivial example. I want to be the most jacked guy in my congregation. But if some fluffy brother comes up to…	/r/RPChristians	03/06/18 10:40 PM
2	Question about losing weight. ^ This. Lifting doesn't burn a whole lot of calories. You're better off just looking at your current status to determine maintenance, then drop it by 250 or so. Give it 2 weeks, and reassess. Keep protein static, drop from carbs and fat.	/r/askTRP	23/05/18 12:37 AM
11	There was this really long post about a few days ago, about 44,000 words I think and it got deleted or removed anyone have a link to it? Ubermensch Mode—https://www.removeddit.com/r/TheRedPill/comments/8br11o/%C3%BCbermensch_mode/. Via 1dondraper in a different thread.	/r/askTRP	15/04/18 04:27 AM
