What are the actual benefits of eating clean?

>bodybuilders are only strong because they have so much muscle mass
What fucking moron decided he needed to do a study to find that out? Good lord

Just went and read the actual article, the title is, unsurprisingly, complete clickbait. It's basically saying that bodybuilders have less strength per pound of muscle than regular athletes despite being stronger, which of course most people already know because bodybuilders are training for hypertrophy while athletes only train for strength/power.
I do 5 drop sets of hammer curls going from 30 lbs at 14 reps down to 15 lbs at 9 reps, each time I drop 5 lbs. I do this every other day, am I over training? Also I'm natty and currently eating at maintenance.
damn nigga you're gonna burn out doing that WOAH

Pick one.
Reading Starting Strength is easily the best thing any beginner can do. This isn't debatable, but a friendly reminder.
that is correct.
Falling for the starting strength meme

ALL THESE CAN BE ANSWERED AND MORE. READ IT.

I am assuming (i know i should get to doctor) its part of anxiety disorder and not hyperactive sweat glands, and I've scared to get on benzos because I'm barely a year...

i have the same problem breh
try getting your doctor to recommend some deos that actaully block your sweat glands (usually come in sticks). should take care of the pit problme at least
otherwise i recommend wearing lots of deo so you dont smell, and wearing pants that dont clearly show when they are wet (i.e. jeans). white shirts help too, cant see the sweat so much
>>37862295
Do white shirts help? I've been going with black shirts for the longest. My crotch sweat is pretty intense and does show up on jeans if I'm sitting for too long. UnderArmor type undies help I've found. Everytime I go to the bathroom I use some TP to dry myself down there but this isn't feasible longterm solution.
>>37862370
in my experience you dont see the sweat stains as much as on black.
its also a bit cooler i guess, black absorbs heats. but if you're not out in the sun that doesnt really matter
you could try seeing somebody about the anxiety as well. might help at least make the sweating less aggressive

Is breakfast really that important guys?
Greg hasn't eaten breakfast for 5 years, he seems fine.
Seriously, if im never hungry for breakfast ever, and im always having to force it into me because im taught by the corporations that it's "the most important meal of the day," and if i feel better not having breakfast, then it can't be wrong to skip breakfast right?
My body doesn't want breakfast, i feel great without it.
Also, in the middle ages, the church preached against breakfast because it lead to overeating, because...

No. If you're not hungry don't eat.

If I don't eat breakfast I don't have enough energy to make it through the morning
breakfast is a meme
Can /fa/norexia ever legitimately help one to lose weight if they continue to exercise? Or will it always just fuck your metabolism, even if you're not a lazy shit who just eats less because they have no workout drive?
Eating below your Basal Metabolic Rate is unhealthy.
Period.

I ask because my friend practices fasting for Ramadan, and he lost a lot of weight. He hit the gym most days too. I'm curious whether he'll stay lean or just end up putting the pounds back on.
>>37861864
Don't listen to this guy, if you're actually doing a good amount of cardio, starvation can be a really effective way to shed weight fast

Sure can we have sex afterwards?
There's a reason why sports are divided by sex among other things.
Also, why the fuck are you using a drawing, I want real women.

Hi /fit/
Older starting lifter here, 41. Do you have particular advice aimed at the 40+ male ? Strength is an area I have neglected all my life and I want to start addressing that before it gets too "complicated" so to speak.
Any older lifters here?
>>37861440
start doing cardio
high frequency low weight and isometrics
>>37861440
Read the sticky and SS+GOMAD if you managed to stay a skellington even though adult metabolism, else just SS
>>37861473
fuck this guy.
just start doing ss or sl and work your way from there. also, pick related
This is probably bullshit but im going to ask anyway.
At mother in laws place and she randomly brings up some study she saw on tv.
The author of said study claims that vitamins and nutrients cant fully be absorbed unless cooked a certain way and paired with a certain item.
My mind immediately calls bullshit as i dont see why our body would descriminate against vitamin b6 just because it didnt come with spinach or quinoa or a bun. What are your thoughts
Wizard's First rule
People are stupid. They will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true.
>>37861444
Its just like how people believe eating jamba juice or Keva juice would be healthy but its just slot of sugar in a drink. Might as well drink a soda.
>>37861427
There is some truth to this but I don't know the specific study you are referring to. And it is a complex question you are asking. Put it simply.
>some vitamins are fat soluble
>some water soluble
>sometimes certain cooking techniques: Fermentation, heat, and combos can alter or create new compounds in your food.
>multi vitamins do work in a pinch but often you miss out on micronutrients...
