I always get conflicting answers about this here.
are "raw" (uncooked) oats less nutritional than cooked oats?
p-please r-r-r-r-espond
>>37313864
Uncooked oats are just disgusting, nutritional differences aside. You most likely wouldn't put up with eating raw oats for very long. If you could then fair play, but I sure as hell cant.
>>37314320
Agreed, uncooked is fuck gross. Like eating the shaved skin of an 80 year olds moldy clit. If you must have cooked oats, eat in moderation.
Every day I see people asking about what they're supposed to do after Starting Strength or a similar beginner's program. There are plenty of good strength programs out there, but if you're mainly interested in size gains the standard recommendation seems to be simply "ppl", which is a bit of a problem because the routines that people come up with based on this recommendation are quite frankly terrible. Just an arbitrary collection of exercises, really.
So I created the attached template as a help for these people. It's not the be-all and end-all...

OVERLOAD
Most people are familiar with the Principle of Progressive Overload, and know that's it's a principle that cannot be violated if you want to make gains of any kind long-term. However, due in part, I think, to Starting Strength's ultra simple (but good) approach and the popularity of powerlifting, most people haven't quite understood what overload truly is. See, most people think that overload is achieved by adding additional weight to the bar. While that's not technically incorrect, intensity is only one small variable of many factors that...

PERIODIZATION
It's a fancy word but for all practical intents and purposes, periodization basically just means "plan". There are several different principles at play in this particular program.
We've already discussed the importance of overload and what it actually is, but how is it actually achieved? Gains in strength as well as size are an adaptation. Adaptation is the goal of any training program and is the last phase in a 3 stage process: Stress - recovery - adaptation. "Stress" is the training load of course. As a complete beginner, you...

You will notice that you only increase the training load over the course of 3 weeks/microcycles (called step-loading), after which there is a week of unloading. The reason for this is that the load you keep increasing is per definition a stressor. You are stressing your body - Not just your muscles, but your whole body and nervous system on a systemic level. When you train hard, the cumulative effect of the workouts result in increased performance, BUT at the same time you also induce fatigue on a systemic level. We're not talking about the kind of fatigue that you feel...

So for chest only really doing 4x8 on bench press twice a week, training to look good naked, every other muscle group is getting near the same treatment. Should I be doing more than one exercise per muscle? Is it a matter of just getting reps in or does hitting it I'm different ways help?

I need advice, /fit/. My brother is rapidly approaching wizardhood (29 in nov, kissless, handholdless virgin). I'm going home in a couple months (I live overseas) and want to be a good bro and give him some protips. I'm fine with actual picking up but I have no idea how to into tinder since I've been with my gf since before it was a thing.
How does one into tinder? I know you need photos playing sport and with a pet (if possible). Anything else? For the record he's 6'1ish, skinnyfat and has a kind of oddly shaped head.
29 and virgin? I would kill him or yourself you Def failed as a bro
>>37313633
We never really got on desu.

>How does one into tinder?
A virgin of your level has zero chance on tinder, m8. Sorry.
I do I get a firmer, larger, rounder ass? Does it come with the hamstrings? Help me out /fit/. Ideally with things I can do without a gym membership.

hey anons. i'm late to the party. Never been athletic, never had physical conditioning. mid 30s.
but now I have a need to build serious core strength, enough to carry/manhandle a person whos handicapped.
I think I can work with SS program. But I've -never- lifted or had any coaching. And my gym time is 2300~0200, so i'm likely on my own.
Am I going to injure myself doing this alone and only reading book for technique/form?
>>37312614
Okay what you're going to need to do is get some roids.
What's the story here? Why do you need to be strong enough to carry a handicapped person?
>>37312640
He's training to hold the door.

STRETCHING: Do you do it?
Do you stretch before your workout, after your workout, or both?
How long do you hold each stretch for?
How many sets of stretches do you do?
>>37312608
Also: How many days per week do you stretch?
Come on /fit/, really? Nobody stretches at all? Do you want to have the mobility and ROM of a 70 year old before you're 30?
Every day before bed

What's the best way to develop and maintain "old man strength" during one's 60's and 70's? That's still decades away, but what's the best way to develop the whole farmer-style grip-strength thing if you don't actually work on a farm?
HGH

hard fucking work faggot
Literally have been around these people my whole life. Really the only way is to work a physical job all day every day for decades.
