lost track of gym maxes AKA, you don't lift. Piss off. I don't see a clear path forward. That being said, I am disciplined in my proximal goals You are a lot of things, disciplined is not one. Stop being a f@&&ot, put your phone down, go to the gym and stop talking about your wife, none of us care about her.

Unlocked a killer arm workout by focusing much more on isolating and engaging my triceps, then biceps. Biggest arm pump I’ve ever had. Awesome. Since you typed 5x in gym, a reminder that locking out push movements (OHP/chest presses) engages triceps & almost every angle of any row/back engages the biceps in some way. Just an FYI if you do an arm day & another upper day soon thereafter (or vice-versa), those areas may not be fully recovered. Muscles grow by rebuilding after they're worked, not wh…

41 y old, Married 7 y two kids 3 & 6 y Stats: BP 110, Squat 140, OHP 90, DL 90 Height? weight? Also questioning your numbers because it's basically impossible to squat more than 50% of what you can pick up (don't say "but muh back"), so keep in mind that I'm looking at you with a squinted eye. We tell the truth here, otherwise you're just wasting our time.

SQ 170x3, Leg Press 453x5 Guessing your ROM on leg press is tiny for that kind of gap in the numbers. Go deep, put the feet low and don't put your hands on your knees (bench pressing the legs), it is supposed to hurt.

I Completed my cut and hit 12% bf. I was pleased with my result and gives me a good point of reference for my next cut cycle. I went from 195 to 158 over 5 months. I am currently at 165, eating 2600 c/day. Nice. Going forward, you know what to do, because you have done it. I may be overworking my upper body, because my elbows feel constantly sore. Lower the weight on all arm exercises and focus on reps/stretch/intensity. Begin tricep routines with cable extensions, no less than 12 reps per set. …

Now I just push through or modify. But never outright stop training. Deloading isn't stopping. For my deload weeks I go to the gym 3x (normally it's 4x) and do my normal routines except I either do 50% of the weight for the same number of reps or I do the same weight for 50% of the reps. It's active recovery & allows the central nervous system to take a break -not hammering it that week- while keeping the muscles moving. Almost every time the following weeks bring some of the best workouts of th…

Deload is really only necessary once you start hitting genetic max potential. Opinions vary, but whenever someone is going hard on the regular (at least 3x per week) a lot of pros/experts advise people who aren't on gear to periodically take a deload week or active-recovery week. As I near entering year 29 of lifting, I definitely advise them, generally quarterly. Every time I take one, it's mentally tough to not go hard, but the following week(s) are always great & I'm refreshed. (Tendonitis is…

Just trying to say that you don't have to spend every post-meal logging into MFP, we all know steak or bacon/eggs are good & that mac & cheese is not-so-much.

I guessing your ROM is $hit on the squat. Look, I'm on your side, I realize the pain sucks, but until your injuries heal going heavy isn't the way to go, moderate weights with TRUE range of motion. You will make gains. Do pristine squats with lower weights & go to at least parallel (if not lower). Body weight if necessary, all the way down. For Plantar Fasciitis, which I have from time to time (had bone spur from one in 2024), I recommend spending the $ on the Hokas with stability (Cliftons & Bo…

I’m back 6 days but I doubt my joints will hold up with the intensity I’m going at currently, so I’ll dial back intensity A. They won't. B. Find your groove between having days of lower intensity vs. fewer days but all HIT. You do you, but you do not want your joints to tell you when to stop because then you'll have to stop. Just remember, muscles don't grow when they're being worked, they grow during rest/recouperation. Let them grow.

I have cut down 200 more calories to a TDEE target around 2100 that I can realistically hit in the short term, and will reduce this as I go. Unless you're in a job that is highly demanding physically, there's no reason for you to eat breakfast. Your goal is to use fat for energy, drinking orange juice or eating something when you wake up stops that from happening. Eat less freaking food and when you do eat, eat meat. The more meat the better.

goal by 6/30/26 = 15% BF & 150 lean Very aggressive goal. I'm rooting for you, but if you're lifting on the regular, the 15% means a lot more than the 150. Lifting means you want to gain lean muscle mass (aka, pounds) and your stated goal is to lose 43 pounds in just over 6 months. So, don't get down if the scale doesn't move for a few weeks, as long as you're seeing gainz in the mirror, you're on the right path to replacing fat with muscle. 16:8 IF goal each day Yeah, you got this, bud.

Stick your chest up, shoulders back and think “pull the bar to my pecs”. Don’t worry about going heavy until you get the technique down, so 10-12 reps. You’re probably engaging tris because you’re going too heavy and your body is compensating by bringing in anything that will help move the weight.

I'm late to the party but the emphasis on lifting is to get a gauge on where someone is at. A dude who is average height & 10 pounds overweight & benches 155 generally means someone who benches 115 for 10 reps & thus 'we' know he should prioritize lifting. Someone who can bench 275 has lifting down, unless they weigh 300 lbs, so not as much of a need for advice on lifting. Experienced lifters, those who are over 40, generally know that 1RMs aren't ideal for joints & an emphasis on hypertrophy is…

Eat meat. Make meat the foundation of all meals (which should only be 2 per day). Everything revolves around the meat. Whatever meat you like, steak, fish, pork, chicken, as much as you want in each of those two meals, as long as it's not battered & fried.

Until you're under 20% body fat, there's no reason in the world for you to eat three meals per day.

Treat resigned sex as a no. And then move forward as if she did just say no. Disagree. By definition, she made herself available but also let it be known that she wasn't really in the mood. In my experience, the outcomes of whenever I did take it as a 'no' versus when I wanted to use her body as I wanted, weren't close. I always felt better having sex and the odds of her getting into it and enjoying were also very high. The woman is the gate keeper for sex. She opened the gate but you're not goi…

Lift, eat protein, sleep. I've been lifting for 28 years, Ambien was the thing that caused my T to double. Had vasectomy in 2000, only side effect was more frequent and better sex. It has nothing to do with T level. Edit: 380 is fine. Mine stays in the upper 400s to lower 500s and I began just under 200. Lift harder, eat cleaner, prioritize sleep. Then, do it again.

Absolutely. Turning around on an incline bench & using dumbbells allows for greater range of motion & a deep squeeze at the 'top'. Different variations of rows can target different aspects of the back (rhomboids, lower traps, lats).

but I still, for whatever reason, wake up everyday at 3AM and eat like a demon. Something is wrong and I am yet to uncover it. You lack discipline & impulse control. There, it's uncovered. Drink a lot of water when you wake up and stop eating so much. The whole idea of losing fat is that you eat less & your body responds by burning fat to use as energy.

BP 175lb x 5, Barbell Row 145lb Based upon the other numbers, you're probably doing retarded shrugs at 145. Bend over and row 95 pounds (emphasize the eccentric/negative) so you can grow your back muscles instead. You'll make better gains with perfect form.

Dead lift 8 x 135 squat 11 x 145 Work on technique. You should not squat more than you can pick up. You're not extremely tall, it's probably not a long femur issue, but something's amiss. More than likely, you're not going to parallel on squats. If that's the case, lower the weight & focus on a full range. The strength will come. Trust me, it will come. It won't come as much/fast if you're not doing it right.

Pellets are administered by a gyno, with blood work done in order to maintain proper levels of hormones.

You're dealing with another physical malady, so you'll need to adjust. While you're dealing with this, lifting for 15-18 reps with a focus on negatives can also give gains (the old 'time under tension' adage). Quality of reps is key, not just repping out light weights, but really hitting the muscle with moderate weights...you're wanting the mind/muscle connection to kick in. Link. Good luck.

Feels good to hit the gym 4 times a week, but also less flexible. Take 2-4 minutes at the end of every workout to stretch the muscles you trained that day. It makes a big difference in both recovery as well as flexibility. You're 172 lbs, it ain't from being too bulky. This can be a game-changer. Was for me. Do it at the end of every workout, literally.

I am caught in a grinder of trying to improve technique and missing lift progress. If you have perfect technique, lift with intensity, refuel (protein) and provide the body with adequate recovery, you will make progress. Lifting with bad technique leads to injury. Get the form down, first.

It’s not. YOUR full range may be different from MY full range, depending upon ligaments/tendons, but perfect form for your respective ROM will elicit the most effective results. However, If your joints happen to be super limber and you’re able to go outside the safe range, you’re asking for trouble.

If you’re an Olympian competing for a gold medal, some carbs may help in the final stretch. If you’re an MRP retard in the gym trying to bench your weight, you probably won’t notice the difference. The necessary macro to build muscle is protein, not calories.

I didn’t initiate Weds/Thu because I thought I would be refused. One of the reasons you got married, I'm guessing, was to be in an exclusive sexual relationship with your wife. You're a man, it's natural for you to want to have sex. Don't fight your masculine nature because of how "she" makes you feel by saying "no" (re-read that, you're in her frame).

I also learned that my warmup should pump my blood but not to the point of weakening my muscles and negatively affecting what I can lift. Don't overthink it. Whatever you're working, start out at a light weight and knock out a lot of reps, catch your breath, add weight & repeat. You'll be stronger when the blood is in the area and as long as you don't completely shoot your wad on a warm up set, you're not going to ruin your lifts. Reps are king during warmups, not weight.

I'm also stalling out on my bench. I'm barely getting one rep at 190 in. I have been doing some related chest work to help this, including chest dips, cable flys, and close grip bench. Close grip is for triceps, if performed correctly it isn't supposed to do much for pecs. Maybe add in (if available) incline presses or dumbbell presses.

instead of my 3x5 I’m going to add a bunch of volume so I can do more work. I’ll start today and see how it goes. You'll have gains. You'll be just fine doing 8-12 reps with 70% weight vs. more weight for 3-5 reps that obviously causes at least some damage to your back. The incline press will primarily hit the chest (usually emphasizes upper chest) & some front delt. For capped delts, laterals and rear delt work are not to be overlooked.

One of my mental issues with 5-3-1 is that there are so many knobs to tweak that it's difficult to see progress. Last cycle when I did my AMRAP 140 set on bench, I got 6 reps. This cycle I got 8. That felt positive to me. There is absolutely nothing to stop you from going a few weeks doing X sets of Y pounds for 10 reps. Or 12. Or, whatever, then, going back to 531.

Starting to have some knee pain when deadlifting and squatting Then do rack pulls and leg presses. I have been trying strong lifts 5x5 before and I feel this setup pushes me harder. Usually more volume means more mass, yes, but there's nothing wrong with playing around if you get bored. SL is not a muscle building program, it's a strength building program, usually for beginners.

Started lifting again after back injury but being extra careful recovering and avoiding exercise that could aggravate the injury. so doing lunges for legs, bench press, shoulder press and upright rows. Do you have access to a gym or are you at home? Because I see no dumbbell work and assuming your lunges are body weight, but correct me if I'm wrong. You're missing out on a lot of muscle gains that can be had without increasing your risk of back injury.

Seems like just giving your masculine self to a woman in a form of intense, yourself-centered sex is something that they crave.

There's no good reason not to do everything else, especially those things that will help along the shoulder rehab and strengthen that scar-tissue riddled area.

I am keeping protein at 200g and calories at around 1800. I lift 5 times a week and run on the other 2 days. If that were anything near reality, you'd be in shape in a matter of a few months. This is a place to be honest.

I was unhappy with the amount and quality of sex with my wife, I initiated, got rejected and several hours later I raged. So until I complete my no rage streak I will abstain from initiating. "My chick-level inability to control my feelz is a problem, so my plan is to stop having sex." Can't imagine why your wife would reject sex with such a masculine man. It's a mystery.

The target that I track is 2,000 calories a day + 180g of protein. On days that I go to the gym I'll often have more like 2,200 calories and 250g of protein. Okay. How's that working out? If you want to be at <13% not only are you going to have to do what it takes to get there, you're going to have to eat like someone <13% after you get there.

Upvote for rejecting the right way, not out of butt hurt or anger. Women take sexual rejection a lot differently than men, so deciding whether to plow through or walk away is like threading a needle while navigating a minefield. 99% do it with the "I'll show her!" attitude, which is the wrong way.

However, I started feeling my old chest tendonitis flare up (some call it costochondritis), Were you diagnosed with tendonitis by a doctor? Because tendonitis is inflammation of the actual tendon and that's not something to push through or ignore, but it's a lot different than overtaxing the muscles or having anxiety.

I’m taking whey powder and creatine regularly. If you're not lifting on the regular, you're wasting $ and time. The protein likely came in a tub mixed with a bunch of sugar/sucralose that you mix in order to ingest more protein needed to build muscle that won't be growing if you're not lifting consistently. So, your body will get rid of the protein via waste, but store the good tasting stuff (usually chocolate or strawberry flavored, right?) as fat. Creatine is for glycogen retention, making rec…

Recommended a change in PT regimen and for the next six weeks to stop / minimize / replace all "press" exercises that require the triceps to pull the elbow straight.

The progress won't be linear or as easy to track as 5x5. If you're injured, forget 5x5. 5x5 is a strength program that calls for heavy weights & that means the compound moves will put stress on your injured joints. If you have a hurt shoulder, forget the barbell bench press, that grinds the shoulder joint. Flyes & dumbbell presses or cable/machines can build the chest in the interim. Aim for 12-15 reps. You'll get stronger and make progress. Work the muscles, not the joints/injuries. When you ca…

Great feeling though, and I hope I can maintain Eat protein, get sleep, let the muscle groups you worked recover (ex: don't do bench on Monday then triceps on Tuesday, you used triceps to finish the bench press reps), and you will make great gains. If the scale goes up but your pants aren't tighter, that's a good thing, it means you're adding muscle. It's gonna happen.

I’ve been doing a lot of reading over the past couple weeks, mainly around lifting and learning as much as I can to get the most from my sessions and break past this plateau I’ve been at for some time now. There are numerous youtube videos showing the proper technique for whatever lift you want, at your fingertips. Get the technique down, then you'll start making progress. If your goal is strength, lower reps/longer rests/higher weights usually works. If your goal is size, more volume (higher re…

Legpress 550x30+, OHP 115x6, Pulldown 220x10, Chest press 130x10, mostly stalled. Wut? I know it's tough to assess machines/cables vs. free weights, but those are crazy variances. Normally, if anyone could only bench/press 130x10 it wouldn't be surprising if they could only do 30 body squats, yet you found a machine that assess 550 lbs that you move for 30+ reps? I'd bet that your leg presses are micro-reps. If you're not going to do it right, you're short-changing yourself. Gym: Currently once …

Just wanna summarize by saying that (a) the important part of the diet plan is the protein; (b) I say that focusing on having X carbs -while you're targeting weight loss- might not be optimal unless you're in some sort of active competition. Doing the math at 8pm and thinking "I haven't had enough carbs" isn't really a good idea because (c) all carbs that you don't use for energy end up being stored as fat as zero carbs are used in building muscle. Good luck.

I would suggest more volume & going from 5x35 to 4x45. I can go 5x here or there, but not on a continual basis as it is simply too taxing on my body & central nervous system.

After consultation with trainer friend, switching to 5 sets at high reps (8 -12) rather than 3, so weight is down to allow more capacity to maximize hypertrophy. This is the way. + Protein, sleep/recovery, repeat. When you're doing 5 sets for the weight you did 3 sets, you'll start seeing advanced progress & gains. It won't take long, your sets will start looking like 12,11,10,8,8 (which is what 8-12 means, not "I'll extend the rest period until I can do 8 reps again") or something like that, de…

chest press 160 x 5; barbell bicep curls 90 x 5 I can't imagine how far back you sway in order to swing up 90 lbs. Try dropping the weights on the non-press/compound lifts & do more reps, and do them with correct technique. You'll make gains. You won't make gains doing 3 pulldowns and 5 leg extensions.

In DoggCrapp you push to failure when lifting. Careful. DC is one of my favorite programs, but going to failure often leads to that last rep, when failure begins, losing form/technique. That's when injuries begin.

I got myself a nice home gym so I have no excuse to not lift at least five times per week, every morning. With that, Unless you're on gear, which I would not suggest at 25%+ body fat, 5x per week is probably too much as a goal. Muscles & tendons need to recover. Otherwise, the risk of injury skyrockets.

Early in the week my wife straight up told me “We are not having sex for a while, we have been having too much sex and I am sore”. Mine says that, it means I'm getting a blowjob if I initiate.

They’re seeking as much muscle as they can attain (naturally or not) in as short a period of time as possible. They aren’t going to juice and then not use the optimal training approaches. The roids allow them to recover faster & thus increase volume even more. If 4 sets of 3 reps got competitive athletes jacked, everyone would do it and get out of the gym faster.

My motivation to add separate curls and BPs was to prevent losing what I've gained from dumbbell lifting prior to starting SL 5x5.

How muscles grow: Resistance training leads to trauma or injury of the cellular proteins in muscle. This prompts cell-signaling messages to activate satellite cells to begin a cascade of events leading to muscle repair and growth. Several growth factors are involved that regulate the mechanisms of change in protein number and size within the muscle. The adaptation of muscle to the overload stress of resistance exercise begins immediately after each exercise bout, but often takes weeks or months …

3x10 on five back exercises. Hit 2 exercises for biceps.

If you're truly close grip (not too much inside shoulders, otherwise there's unnecessary stress on the wrists) you're barely activating the chest, the emphasis is on the extension & hammering the triceps.

Get your technique down & you'll see gainz. If your DL is 185, you shouldn't be able to row 135 for 5 reps. You're probably doing retarded shrugs. Don't obsess over lifting X. Get the form down, do each rep perfectly. The strength/gainz will come. Doing them incorrectly so as to move a heavier weight only prolongs the results while increasing the likelihood of injury.

Yes, more sets & more reps. If you can do x lbs for 12 reps, but not 15, then do 12 reps, wait 45 seconds, do 10-ish (you won’t be able to do 12), 45 seconds rest, 9-10, etc. 4 or 5 sets, then catch breath & move to next group. Over a week/month, the volume will accrue & gains will ensue. Always leave one rep “in the tank”, going to failure only stresses the joints & causes poor form, which usually leads to injury.

Never go to failure, always leave one rep in the tank. If you lift with enough volume, the gains will come. My wife & daughter started training with me a few years ago, before that almost 20 alone. Nothing changed, I don't need a spotter. Technique + volume + protein + recovery = muscle.

First, forgive me if I'm assuming, but your gains are going to suck if you're only doing 3 sets of pec work, or any compound exercise. Second, to answer your question without trying to be wishy-washy, it depends upon your goals. If they're strictly strength, then lower rep programs with max weight will be best. If it's muscle gains, then volume is the key, which means set aside the ego and hammer out some volume. If you're doing 190 for around 7 reps, load up 170 & knock out 4-5 sets of 8-12, th…

So I reduced my lifts and am stopping short of failure. FWIW from someone who has been lifting for > 20 years: never go to failure.

I did 5x5 for a few months and switched to 4x10 for a (failed) bulk where all I did was get fat after a month. The workout plan wasn't the problem. If you got fat, you ate too much (probably carbs) and didn't get enough protein or rest, and likely didn't tax the CNS enough during your 4x10 in order to recruit muscle fibers. Here's the gist: you shouldn't actually be able to do 10 reps on all four sets. If you did, you either (a) took long rests in between sets, which is antithetical to mid-high …

Guys who are focused on moving the heaviest weight possible usually have the worst form, because naturally. Forget getting to a new PR on X exercise until you get the technique down, and that means every rep for the entire range of motion. Back off at least ~25%, do the damn thing right and then slowly ramp up the weight. You will be shocked at how strong you will become when you actually work the muscle instead of trying to move the weight. Patience. Do it right.

On non lifting days, I do OMAD - one meal a day - so the deficit is around 1000 on those days. If that happens 3 days per week, that's almost a pound per week if you're simply at maintenance on the lifting days, which works out to over 20 pounds in six months. Looks like a good plan, to me.

Maybe wait until your back is 100% healed before trying DLs? Maybe use machines & cables, avoiding lifting heavy weight off the floor, for a couple weeks? You won’t lose gains & you may get healed up & come back stronger. Has worked for me many times in the past.

The TDEE is an estimate. Your body doesn't know if you're 85 calories over some estimate within a 24 hour period (where you presumably burn more via the workout), it will however use fat cells for energy if you take in less calories over time (say, a week/month) then it uses. Think long game, have that big steak after a workout & try to eat less on off days. If you lift, your muscles need resources in order to recruit more fibers, if you don't lift....do really need many resources? Isn't the ide…

Eat more meat and drink protein shakes, especially after your workout. You need protein in order to build muscle and if your focus is on body fat then your scale may actually go up as your muscle mass rises. Eat less on off days, hammer the protein on gym days.

An eye opener for me the other day is I was looking up Barry Bond’s weight after he juiced up, and he was only 228.. I think 6’2ish. I would have guessed like 250-260, but he was probably very low BF. As a rookie he was listed at 185. So, totally plausible that he gained ~40 lbs. He used to be downright thin. The Rock is supposedly 6'5" and around 260, and he is another level of juiced up mass. Bonds weighing 260 would be even more mind boggling.

The question comes to implementation and how to keep track of everything Don't overthink. Make sure to eat lots of protein during the eating window. Your body doesn't know if you're 14g short of some goal on some macro on a certain day, just lift & get the protein in afterwards. I didn't gain any weight over the holidays, but I didn't lose any either following this method. Work on narrowing that window. There's no need for you to eat two meals or for 8 hours on a non-lifting day.

From what I have read seems like fewer sets/higher reps are optimal for building muscle. Not fewer sets, more volume. The weight will have to be a bit less since you're doing more reps, but most definitely not fewer sets, because the goal is to increase volume, which in turn will cause the CNS to recruit muscle fibers. 5x5 is 25 reps. 5x6 is 30 reps. 4x7 is 28 reps. 3x8 is 24 reps. That's less volume, not more. You'd be going in the opposite direction of your goal. Start out with 5 sets of 8 rep…

I’ve started a new program (5/3/1 BBB) to try and mix things up and grow some more. It's a low rep/high weight program, so don't be surprised if strength gains outpace mass gains.

Mac & cheese, apples or creamed corn aren't going to help build muscle whereas meat, eggs & most beans will.

I don't know if there is ever a reason MRP heads will accept the the use of a smith machine but I was able to load the injured/weakened area with weight and it felt worked out and amazing afterwards. Mr. Olympia would sometimes use a Smith for squats.

The point I have to make is that the ROI for pushing yourself on lifting is less and less the more you make progress. That has not been my experience, at all. I must be reading this wrong, as every muscle fiber gained has been absolutely worth the effort/journey.

Definitely eat after lifting, as much protein as you can ingest. Fasting on days you don't train shouldn't be a hindrance, it hasn't been for me. But, if you don't think that you're getting enough protein, OMAD will definitely do the trick. According to the Zero app I've averaged 20 hrs per day since February & my strength is either the same or higher and I've gained muscle mass, especially in my back/delts.

tl;dr: More Don't know your history, but to gain size/mass the answer is to do more. More volume, more protein intake, more periodization. More volume: (google search for official studies at your leisure, they're aplenty) Low rep/high weight routines gain strength and muscle, primarily strength . Higher rep routines (6 reps and up) provide muscle mass gains and strength, primarily size/mass. Which means ditch SL 5x5 as the go-to routine & up the overall volume of lifts.

Lifting heavy every week is not optimal, the central nervous system becomes really beat up and fatigued, which means strength/progress will likely stagnate. We all know most newbies are going to failure on almost every set. Deload weeks allow the muscles to rebuild/regenerate and are a smarter way to ensure the CNS doesn't get fatigued. Throwing in a few 8-12 rep sets will keep the progression going while also adding something fresh to go along with hypertrophy. Win-win.

Keeping up with Stronglifts and now hitting PBs after a deload period. If your goal is size, don't underestimate the importance of volume. Lifting X for 3-5 reps will make you stronger, lifting Y for 8-12 reps will make your CNS recruit more muscle fibers as a response. I know this sub loves SL and it's a great beginner program, but most males build mass more efficiently and easier with volume vs. heavier weights for a few reps.

You are making excuses for why you are small and weak. Yes, you are, OP. I go to the gym 4x per week.

And I'm older than you. You sure you can't make time for at least three hours? Surfing afterwards sounds like a great way to finish (need protein replenishment first, of course).

My biggest concern is athletic performance at the tail end of a 48 hour. That was at the forefront of my apprehension, as well. On 48s, I have snake juice - No Salt, Himalayan Pink Salt, Baking Soda, mixed with water. It's basically the main ingredients in gatorade without the processed suger & crap and costs pennies per serving - and the electrolytes allow me to have just as much energy as normal. Don't need it for 24s, still have plenty in storage.

Each person is different, some Keto, some carnivore, some vegetarian, etc. That said, barring some medical issues that require Dr’s oversight, the only actual “dangerous fasting” is when the person is dangerously lean. Otherwise, the body’s fuel comes from fat. That is how God designed us. Someone who is fat but otherwise healthy will be just fine not eating for 24-48 hours. They’ll likely improve in most facets, especially weight loss.

This post is about the lifts required for this goal. You're posting lifts about strength, which are not necessarily conducive to having a body like Achilles. If anyone wants to up their lifts, they need only eat a lot & lift. Gaining weight goes along with gaining strength.

My only add is to ditch the machines and go heavy or go home. After years of training, that takes its toll on the joints. Going heavy on skull crushers, for example, is murder on the elbows when you've done high volume with heavy weight for 20 years. Machines or cables can help keep the muscle tension throughout & allow the lifter to get a great workout that will enable muscle fiber recruitment. Arnold relies a lot on machine/cables now, primarily due to joint issues.

5x5 is a good starter, but when you get a lot stronger I’ve found it best to go to more reps - I can see you’re doing mostly mid reps also. The cool thing is you can still lift heavy. It’s important to listen to your body, and when I started hitting some heavy milestones, my body sometimes told me to drop the weight slightly and do more reps to avoid injury.

I don't know why this isn't the top comment. BP is a strength movement, not a chest builder, and over time it grinds the shoulder joint to dust (well, not literally, but you get the point).

First, I'm not trying to argue. With anyone. Lifting heavy means low reps, high % of 1 rm. Yes, but it depends on what your definition of "high % of 1 RM" would be. I consider heavy (for me) to be 4-8 reps or around 85%-90% of my 1RM, which certainly will lead to hypertrophy. You may consider 1-3 reps (~95%) as heavy.

Yeah what I meant was: say I’m repping out 315lbs, squatting with perfect form, after about 10, it gets ugly. But I can still go to like 15. More if I breath and brace. 315x10 on squats is impressive! In your example, I'd be stopping around 10-11 & racking cuz I'll be doing it again tomorrow or the next day.

Something like this. The guy has several videos of those full body workouts on his channel.

Either 4x or 5x, depending on how I feel or my schedule. I’m currently doing a full body routine (one heavy set to around 90%, then on to the next exercise) so I’m not needing to recover from blasting any specific muscle group. Averaging 12 different sets, hitting basically every group each trip. So far, it’s my favorite routine I’ve ever done. And I’m hitting PRs while never going to failure (90% meaning always leaving at least one rep in the tank). I know fasting boosts GH, so that could be wh…

I'm losing body fat rapidly, so I'm operating at a rather large caloric deficit. The barometers I'm using for gainz is the amount of weight I'm lifting, the mirror and feedback. The mirror and feedback are definitely debatable since they're subjective & based on how I look. Could be a case of simply maintaining muscle mass while shedding fat around it & therefore looking more swole (from ~16% BF to ~12% using Navy Method). But, the amount of weight I'm lifting isn't arguable. I'm getting some so…

Maybe try fasting. I've been doing IF for a few years (16/8) and had some success but when I ramped it up with extended fasts (basically one meal per day 4 days/week and one 48 hr fast), in two months all my blood work came back unbelievably great. My T level went up 5%, which isn't enough for me to assign anything, but pretty much everything that needed to be higher, skyrocketed, and everything that needed to be lower, plummeted.

I'm 6'6", 245 lbs (1.98m, 111 kg), would you mind telling me what you think would be the best way to continue to have gainz while not lifting as often? Cuz hard. C'mon, man.

From Jay Cutler (former Mr. Olympia): "Growing muscle size is different to building strength, but people get this confused and train incorrectly. Let's be clear here, you want to build size and a physique which looks awesome, right? In that case, strength is not your priority, although you will naturally get stronger and should make an effort to do so. However, doing 1 rep maxes, or 3 rep sets with crazy heavyweight isn't the smartest way to build muscle. Muscle size comes mostly from sarcoplasm…

Come on, OP. 8 months ago you basically posted the same thing and it appears that you ignored 100% of the advice given. Instead, you decided "but muh ego" should take precedent & instead refused to initiate sex with your wife. That'll show her! Honestly, you're lucky she hasn't divorce raped you.

Do i just let go of everything from the past? How is holding onto it working out for you? Appears that you are in the anger phase. We've all been there. Reset every day. It feels hard That sounds like something a woman would say. Look, I don't know what happened in the past, do you want to divorce your wife? If so, then serve her papers. If you don't, go home, bang your wife and enjoy the one life that you have instead of wallowing around in feelz and obsessing over the past.

Feeling weak & low energy could be sleep, what you ate, your focus, etc. Could be anything. Highly doubtful that it's under-training if you're going 5 days/week. Try this strategy, assuming your training weeks begin on Mondays. If not, just adjust to that day. It focus on the mental approach, which is very important. Finish this week as normal. Next week, deload. Then, the workout of the 21st, whatever routine you're doing, aim for your previous best + 10 pounds (a plate of 5 on each side). If t…

I’ve been steady at the gym for years and have lifted 5 days a week since my honeymoon in September, never missing a week. An injury is just around the corner. Muscles can't grow if you don't give them the opportunity to recover/regenerate. Deload next week, no more than 3 days. Let them recuperate. Then, back to work.

Basically she wants missionary because it’s the least effort for her. Cuddle in the spooning position & go caveman from behind while she's lying on her side. Win/win possibility because you can focus on sex & forget about pleasing her (or worry about kissing or gauging her facial reactions, just rub her tits/ass while you're pumping), plus she may finish herself off if she gets hot while you're banging away (if she does that).

If you're still in agonizing pain, definitely do not work those muscles. The only thing that's going to happen is that you're risking them being injured. The idea of a hard workout is to work the muscles then your body repairs them and they regenerate, but BIGGER. Sounds like your inflammation is still in high gear, thus yours are still repairing. Let them finish repairing & then hit them again. Rule of thumb: A bit sore is okay, Lotsa sore means mega inflammation and it is your body literally t…

In spite of losing so much weight, my body fat percentage is still quite high. That's because you're losing as much muscle, if not more, than you are fat. What I quoted is exhibit A. Your lifts are exhibit B. 1,200 calories is nowhere near enough. You are starving your muscles of the nutrients than they need in order to grow, so they're not, and your body is feeding off of them in order to survive on 1,200 calories. Eat steak, find your TDEE and subtract 500.

I think that’s why I’ve been so passionate about lifting. Love your FR, but be wary of the 6/week pace. You're going Rambo in the weight room, my friend.

I have still been raising my weights, 3 to 4 exercises per week. Seems like I am building muscle, but how? Gaining strength < > gaining muscle. Increasing weights = increasing strength. Gaining more muscle mass = tighter shirts, bigger arms, wider back. All the time, not just post-workout, when you have a pump and your shirt seems tighter for a couple hours. Unless you're 4'3", you're not likely to gain muscle mass only consuming 1,300 calories per day. Don't just believe me, look at virtually a…

I'll give it to you in mid May by way of an upvote. I look slimmer, but the body fat scale still says 25%. Likely, you're dropping muscle, /u/calmwater1, not just fat, because you're not giving your body the fuel to maintain muscle mass, much less build.

DB BP is 90, curls 50. Based on your other numbers, I'm going to assume that you're adding the DB's together in order to get those amounts, because a BP of 145 does not equate to DB benching 90s. FYI, that's the way to communicate DB numbers, by the number that is on the DB, not adding them together.

I am clearly gaining muscle and definition in my arms, legs, shoulders and chest. I finally have veins pop in my lower bicep and elbow area. However my weight isnt going down or up. It is complete flatline which could mean a body recomp, which I am ok with. You are gaining muscle while simultaneously losing fat.

Today I'm working my shoulders, coincidentally enough.

Squats are a compound exercise, working many muscle groups as well as the quads. LE's are a targeted exercise, hitting pretty much only the quads but with a sometimes dangerous amount of torque placed upon the knees when the weight is too heavy. I'm not saying not to do them; I'll be doing them in about 90 minutes, but it will be as a finisher to my quads after squatting and I'll be using lighter weights & short rests. Sort of as a working precursor to stretching out my quads to end my workout. …

If you truly took sets 1 and 2 to failure, you shouldn't be able to get 5 reps on 3-5, unless you took very long rest periods between sets.

Not daily, OP. It doesn't work that way. Muscles don't grow while you're lifting, they grow while they're rebuilding/recovering. Working biceps daily would cause them to go into survival mode (think marathoner's quads). Work them HARD, then recover, then work them again.

If you do rows/pull-ups (back) correctly and a lot from different angles, you've hit the biceps & need only finish them off with some curls, afterwards.

You're working a vanity muscle (and not maximizing your efficiency, to boot) and then getting to larger muscle groups without as much energy.

A brand new Reddit account posts a cut n' paste from that web site on these subs every few days. Not the relationship sub, not the infidelity sub, but the married RP ones. And shortly thereafter, they disappear, just like this troll account has. It is not the guy in the link I provided. Because It never is.

We started dating at age 15. We were our first dates for each and waited almost a decade before marrying (my decision, wanted to make sure). No other sexual experience with women. Yes, I'm aware that I'm fortunate. As I said, God's been awfully good to me.

I married a high value woman, so not only do I not regret it, I'm very glad that I did. The two fantastic children are icing on the cake. God's been awfully good to me.

First off, if you've lifted for six months straight TAKE A WEEK OFF. Muscles don't grow while you're lifting (that's a pump), they grow while you're resting via the rebuilding process. Take a week and don't even do a push-up. Now, after you've recovered your overtrained muscles, small changes can help. Drastically cut your rest time in between sets (would likely mean dropping some weight or reps; your ego can take the hit, trust me you'll grow) or implement rest-pause or supersets. Or, do some p…

Well, you edited. You say you had sex 8 then 6 times, then say you aren't up to ejaculating 4-6 times in one night, yet. Hence, my skepticism. So, apparently you counted changing positions & the like as a new episode of sex. Fine, I wasn't retrying to bust your balls or debate (I'm on your side) but sex generally ends when you cum. If anyone cums 13 times in a weekend, an erection for the 14th would likely be agony. Good luck, OP, in your progress, especially the weight loss.

It doesn't work that way. Lifting every day leads to overtraining, quickly, and muscle gains will not only cease but the risk of atrophy will ensue. Unless one is juicing, that is. I don't mind the blatant BS that is now oozing thru this page, but for the sake of others reading this sub: do not lift every day. That is a recipe for disaster if muscle growth/hypertrophy is the goal.

How long you have implemented red pill into your marriage? Around 5 months. Where are you at on the 12 Levels of Dread? Level 5/6. That's as far as I'll probably ever go. I'm a man of faith who made a commitment to my wife. Moral decision. If she ever actively flirted with ambition or gave her number to another man she'd be out the door within minutes so I hold myself to the same standard. She knows her SMV is about half mine; she mate guards. How long have you been married, and how is it going?…

Emphasizing how a gun is a source of security for an individual/family might be a decent avenue to take, then. "Honey, I don't agree that a call to 911 and then waiting on cops to arrive should be our one and only source of safety should harm come our way" might be more effective than "I don't trust Hillary, Chuck Shumer and the SJW's when it comes to my second amendment rights".

Started doing them in late 2013. The extreme stretching (after working that particular muscle group, and by working I mean sets of heavy weights, not finding a 1RM) pushes blood through & the result is a much lower level of lactic acid buildup. Therefore, less soreness. In my case (anecdotal alert) my soreness has diminished by roughly 80%. For quads, I pull my leg behind me (think a dancer's pose in yoga) until I'm stretching the quad so much that it's a bit painful, then I hold for 60 seconds.…

The three verses that follow (Eph. 5:22-24) note how the husband leads. 22. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

If you want your SMV to rise due to muscle mass (aesthetics) then how much you can lift for 6-12 reps with strict form is the way to go. If you want to lift X for one rep, then you may or may not increase your overall muscle mass. They aren't mutually exclusive but they are not directly correlated, either.

That could depend on the type. My wife is pretty much done after one clitoral orgasm. She says the nerve endings around her clitoris are super sensitive after an orgasm and at that point no longer wants to be touched there for a while, whereas a vaginal orgasm leads her to want to continue (and then some).

I think when it comes to lifting, they're a blessing. I know they have been for me ("let's see, I'm recovering from an injury & it's been a few months since I did dumbbell pullovers, what weight & how many reps did I do last time?"). Lifting is almost the ultimate example of a measurable activity as you're looking for progress and one shouldn't be doing the same routine every time.

Lifting will result in strength. I'm pretty strong. I'm just saying I don't join the world in having Mondays as universal 1RM bench press day. I want more muscle mass. I do lift heavy. And I've lifted a lot. ~4 times per week for > 18 years. I've moved a lot of iron. I've built a lot of muscle. Once I started getting tendonitis & other injuries, I had to make adjustments. Don't get me wrong, I do push for more strength, but mainly by way of "I want to add 10 pounds to my 4x8 set" not to my 1RM. …

Since it's a compound movement, the bench press incorporates a lot of front shoulder & tricep (at lockout). One can use a barbell, but a truncated ROM will really focus on the pecs. I generally use dumbbells or machines and target as much pec work as possible. I stop well short of lockout b/c that's mainly triceps, and I want my pecs under tension. After I've blasted my pecs, THEN I move to shoulders and then triceps (close grip BP is great for tris, btw).

Eat a good percentage of your macros after you lift & you should be fine. I used to do the "6 small meals per day" thing, too. Worked for a little while. Still, calories are calories.
