I need to shorten gym time because workouts are getting too long.
Currently doing 5x5, because more weight, more volume (and more gains?), but recovery between sets is gets damn long, especially for heavy lifts like squats. Trying out 3x8 cuts a lot of recovery time between sets, so gym time gets shortened.
How much difference is there between 5x5 and 3x8 in terms of gains? Anything else I need to consider here (like 5x5 is apparently more for strenght, while 3x8 more for muscle mass)?
do 3x5. more volume does not necessarily mean more gains. you can do 3x8, but you'll stall sooner which kind of ruins your "more muscle mass" plan.
by the way, 5 reps is not "for strength". strength training is usually considered to be 1-3 reps. 5 reps is the middle ground between strength and hypertrophy, which is one of the reasons why it's so effective.

There is almost no difference, what matters is how close you can get close to failure at around 8 reps.
So my doctor told me I needed to gain weight. Last time I visited her I was 195 pounds and recently I visited her (today) and now I'm 120.
I don't eat breakfast or dinner, and all I eat are ice cubes. Because it's like a drink but at the same time I'm eating. So I need to gain weight. Any good foods I can eat to get back up to 195 that won't give me obesity?
pic related is me dancing
If you keep up your ice cube diet and do long distance running then you'll gain weight, it's basically like lifting your whole body

Cycling is better.
Is your gf a gains goblin or a gym bro?
Gains goblin. A large amount of sex is cardio after all.

You spelled bareback wrong
So I'm a relative beginner to lifting and have been using ICF 5x5
I've noticed the last few times I've been to the gym my hip, specifically my left hip, has been cramping when flat bench pressing as well as ab exercises (bicycle crunches, sit ups etc). Normally it will subside after repositioning my legs when bench pressing (switching from wide stance to narrow and eventually back to wide) but is impossible to power through, especially with ab exercises.
On top of this, doing side bends today caused the side I was bending to cramp in my lower back.

Check to see if one of your feet is pronating as in your ankle is bending inwards when you are standing.

Nice try ahmed
Daily reminder that the average person can only gain 15 lbs of muscle per year, which is only ~100kcals above TDEE per day
Don't fall for the bulkin meme, /fit/

Am intrigued, do go on. Sources for said claim.

math
but some fat gain is acceptable. leangaining is stupid, you'll just spin your wheels.
200-300kcal surplus is perfect. if you do it right you gain about 50/50 fat and muscle

I'm interested to know how you used "math" to show how you can only gain 15lbs of muscle per year.
