This is the year I will finally do things right, master the fundamentals of nutrition and see my abs for the first time in my life. No room for guesstimating, no room for winging it, no time to waste.
Am I doomed to eat the same things multiple times a day for months on end like in pic related? Is there a way around this hell? How do I introduce some variety but still make sure the macros and number of calories per day stay within the predetermined limits?
My head is spinning from all these puzzling calculations. I add one ingredient to the meal and it changes...

What gives with the attitudes of needing to graffiti up a great physique? Rob Archer, pic related, is perfect example of this. 6'6" and built and shredded - then looks like children scribbled all over him.
Same with Martyn Ford, and just about every strongman.
You figure they would learn from a guy like Brock O'hurn and avoid the ink. Sheesh.
Don't perma fag yourself
>"Great physique"
You realize he looks like shit?

He says, without posting his own body.

They usually do it to cover up injection scars.
Is 16:8 too little for intermittent fasting?
I usually operate around 16:8 anyways

Should I try a 20:4?
>>37687451
I do 20:4
But if you really and truly do not consume a single calorie after 8:30 you should be good to go as is.
>>37687470
I don't. I've been doing it for 2 days now but it just seems like it's not very difficult. I've read that your metabolism slows down to make you less hungry though.
i've been doing 23:1 since march and i've had no problems, the less time i spent eating the better at least for a cut, i can fit 1200 cals in 1 hour easy, i normally eat around 2 or 3 pm
> attempt to go vegan and bodybuild at the same time
>cant eat more than 1000 calories of vegan foods without feeling absolutely stuffed
>farts smell like overcooked broccoli and termites
>have no energy, struggle in the gym
>no animals thank me for being vegan
So hey don't go vegan if you want to lift.
ok, I won't. thanks, senpai
>>37687457
No problem, just trying to help my fellow /fit/ bros stay /fit/ and not die of veganism

That qt from skyrim is qt
I have a thin skinny neck similar to pic related
How do I fix it?
I'm currently doing Greyskull LP program that's posted around here sometime.
Do more ohp, lateral raises and shrugs
>>37687401
I already do ohp and lat raises, how should I incorporate shrugs?
Do them every workout 3x12? Or just on squat day?

Neck extensions
>trying to bulk
>"you're eating too much, son"
>"why do you want to be fat?"
It's a valid question
Well, why do you want to be fat?
are you too autistic to explain the concept of bulking?
That's a rhetorical questiont; of course you are. After all, you're crying about it on a cartoon forum.
TFW IT'S POWER CLEAN DAY

Aint gonna lie, powercleans are GOAT. Not even deadlifts or OHP blew up traps up like PCs
>>37687118
I'm still too DYEL to notice things like that. They're just so FUN.
>>37687128
True enough
I noticed this kind of behaviors coming up in the past month.
>I wake up without much energy even after sleeping without an alarm
>Getting dressed is a chore
>Stopped brushing my teeth
>I had goals and things I was working for but increasingly just sit on my bed with my laptop and watch movies and browse the internet

In the same boat
I haven't had access to a gym recently so been doing more cardio- still feel tired and shit always
Then again I chief through so much weed erry day it's probably broken my brain by now
Are you running at all? Try a 20 minute jog every day, and that should boost your mood a little.
>>37687017

yur mom's VAGINA
As the title says is there a way to do it but of course not over the top happy.Just enough to not have a depressive and suicidal thoughts.
Neuroplasticity. Brainwashing. Positive thoughts. Yes.
It's not easy, and it's not quick, but yes it can be done.
>>37686437
Try taking magic mushrooms or LSD.
Psilocybin (the active part of shrooms) has recently been in the news, they've been doing trials with psilocybin against long term depression sufferers.
You have something in your brain called the default mode network which you could say regulates your mood. Sometimes it can get stuck in unhealthy patterns (such as the chemical imbalance which causes depression)
Using psychedelic drugs seems to have the effect of resetting this default mode network,...

Watch this short 2 minute video. Theres tons of articles in the mainstream media about the studies also.
Dr Robin Carhart Harris of the london imperial college is leading the research. It's absolutely fascinating.

> While every young guy seems to know that lifting heavy is the foundation of building muscle, most have the dietary caloric intake of a 16-year-old girl. Every bro in the world can tell you how much he bench presses, but ask him how much protein he eats a day and, 99 percent of the time, he’s completely clueless.

> 1) Eat an entire pound of beef. Until you’ve eaten an entire pound of ground sirloin in one sitting, don’t complain that you can’t gain weight. Clearly, you aren't trying hard enough.
> 2) Cook a packet of bacon. Bacon makes everything better. Plus, I’m pretty positive that the saturated fat boosts testosterone. The calories are like 1000 or something. Don’t want to start our day catabolic now, do we? On a side note, cook everything else in the bacon grease for a greater boost of testosterone. You can’t tell me that this doesn’t make any food taste frickin delicious. It's a great way to get your vegetables in.
> 3) Eat Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Remember, insulin is the most anabolic hormone, and we want it to skyrocket post-workout. Not only is every flavor delicious, I'm positive that the quarts are secretly designed to be post-workout meals with 1000 calories, 100 grams of carbs, 30–40 grams of fat, and some grade A dairy protein. Toss in some protein powder and you have the most delicious weight gainer in existence.
> 4) Eat a pound of rice with every pound of meat. Seriously, do this for a month and watch the numbers on the scale climb. Rice comes in 50-lb bags, so you don't have any excuse. Also, the Chinese weightlifting team does this, and they won like half the golds in weightlifting at the last Olympics (I’m assuming it's from the rice).
> 5) Consume butter. Jason Pegg once described cooking with massive amounts of butter as “a lake of awesome.” He was right. Prepare every food with butter and top that food with more butter afterward. The butter fat is good for you because your cells are made of fat (said science).
> 6) Have a frozen pizza with olive oil. Buy a large extra meat frozen pizza. After baking, cover the entire pizza in olive oil. Consume this in one sitting. This is my preferred post-deadlift meal. The sodium will help you rehydrate.
