Is there any reason this wont work?
I was browsing the T-nation forum the other day and i came across a thread where someone said they had some of their best gains by doing this. He said he'd perform long sets to fail with just his body weight to the point where he couldnt do another calf raise.
i think im gonna give it a go. nothing ventured, nothing gained.
whats your opinions on this?
>>36959588
Yes it works
All winter i tried to bulk up my legs. Whenever id take a shower (every day) id do 100 calf raises. Then i added 5 every day
Got up to 500 raises in a single set. Your calves kinda go numb after the first 100 and u can keep going as long as you have patience for really
Huge calf pump
I also did single leg calf raises holding a dumbell at the gym 3x a week a long with my normal routine
My calves finally went from sticks to chicken drumsticks and im no longer embarassed....

>they match my forearms now
wait wait wait, you saying at one point in your life, your CALVES were smaller than your FOREARMS
shit son, what kind of deformed physique you have?
what is a calf raise? just going on your tippy toes, holding it, then back down?
Is SS really a troll?
What routine should I follow for my first bulk then ?
This needs to be known.
>>36959536
No, it's not a troll. Just look at this progress
300 pound 6 ft fatass here
Is it really possible for me to lose weight eating 2.7k cals?
do PSMF faggot
>>36959524
Is that safe
>>36959537
if you read the book, yes, I am doing it and I feel perfectly fine. with a 900 calories/day cut you would lose fat pretty fast.
Post your meals and get rated. New or old.
Pic related. What I am chomping on right now.

Will improving my OHP make me better at my bench press?
>>36958925
Maybe. Depends why your bench isn't improving.

Correct, its The Press™
So that's it
I skipped one meal on Monday, and my appetite is fucking dead. Back to 120lbs.
What the fuck /fit/, how do you manage to eat the same amount of calories everyday during a bulk?
I could cut all day long only drinking tea if I wanted to, I wouldn't even feel hunger. I'd feel weak and lethargic as shi though.
But force feeding is much worse, for me.
How do you do it?
>>36958923
Bump
I know it's a meme, but you actually sound like a candidate for GOMAD. I understand your frustration.
t. former skelly that finds cutting easier than bulking
>>36958923
idk OP im opposite. Try eating a food you like, even if its unhealthy just to build ur appetite.
>bulk
>bulk
>bulk
>BULK
I AIN'T BULKING SHIT, FUCKING, fuck.
BULKING IS FUCKING STUPID FOR A NATURAL BODYBUILDER. HOW MUCH FUCKING MUSCLE DO YOU THINK YOU WILL PUT BY EATING PURE FUCKING SHIT

>>36958869
>PURE FUCKING SHIT
what do you mean by this? are you suggesting you wont put or more muscle by eating more
you do realize there is a difference between clean bulking and dirty bulking r-right anon?
>>36958869
Clean bulk
>eating shit everyday is the only way you can have a caloric surplus
Wow OP. How fat are you?
>squat inspection day
>instructor is some broscience fag and fails me for not ass to grass'ing
>class 4 fitness license revoked and not allowed to apply for a new one until the end of next month
I literally can't deadlift or anything above general admission level. What normie shit can I substitute these with?
kek
are you UK or something
>>36958852
I got my class 3 revoked for not letting the bar touch my chest on bench. Its such fucking bullshit. They shouldn't be allowed to limit what I can or can't do at the gym when I'm paying 60 pounds a month for membership. And the inspectors are like the fucking janitors on this board. They take themselves so seriously.

We're all gonna make it
I'm happy for you. I hope many more good things go your way, and my way too, and everyone on /fit/'s way.

Godspeed fitizen

Are you stupid?
>>36958639
>natty
>>36958648
>>36958660
Zac is natty, yes. my question is can I do that in 7 months or will I need longer?
lanklet here, just benched 1pl8 for reps for the first time. anyone else here making it?
>>36958568
fellow tallfag here. 187,5 cm tall, you?
also post stats and we can bitch about the cons of being tall concerning weights and trainning in general
>>36958749
>1.87m
>tall
>>36958568
And here I am giving me bullshit for benching 185
I want to 2pl8 club
>tfw hamstring inflexibility
>tfw butt winking when deep squat
I guess it hamstring stretch city for me now.
How long did it take for you to fix this?
Agile 8.
Fixed by 6 months long enduring back pain within a couple of days.
Also no more wiggly worm buttwink
not long, i could do it in about a month of stretching.
hamstring and hip flexibility is pretty much a prerequisite for weight training
>>36958318
It's not about hamstrings you turd. It's 99% hip mobility issue.
Life has got incalculably better since I dropped the black coffee meme.
I now have my coffee milky and delicious, same great pre workout, less shit taste.
Good on you for coming out of the closet
You could also drink coffee that isn't shit. Buy locally roasted coffee, grind it yourself, and brew it in a french press or a moka pot. There's absolutely no reason that black coffee should taste like shit.

Does /fit/ drink? Why (not)? How much has alcohol affected your gains?
>used to drink a lot
>stopped drinking few months back
>never hungover, more energy all the time
>lazy feeling fades
>go gym more often
>lost about 5kg fat and gained the same amount of muscles in 2 months (big deal for me)
I used to be bigger than Rich Piana
Then I drink once
And all my muscle gone
Fuck you alcoholic beverages!
>>36958189
You did not gain 5kg of muscles in two months. At most, you gained a 500 grams of muscles. And that is if you ate and trained perfectly.
>>36958189
>5kg of muscle
5 pounds of n00b gains maybe.
Also
>not going to the gym when hungover. I've been to the gym drunk twice did not let it fuck over my workout.
Had 7 beers last night, gonna work chest later this morning and do a 60-90 minute walk.
