Anyone tried it?
Seems perfect for cutting. 1/2 days worth of this and a dinner of steak/veg/mash is

never a good idea
satiety isn't triggered by fluids, and that actually has a meaningful impact on hormone balance and growth factors
it's decent as a meal-replacement shake or just a snack to boost your macros, but I'd recommend browsing the community recipes on their website to make some a LOT cheaper and without soy
soylent is a scam
its basicly protein powder with maltodextrin and bunch of other useless stuff
not every macro is the same

Stomachs are meant to be under use digesting solid foods and breaking it down to convert whatever it can into energy.
Post cycles here WITH PCT
Very interested to see people's thoughts on HCG and whether its even useful or not.
I had an idea of a 4 week test enth only followed by 4 week decca only and swapping between the two for about 6 months to maybe even a year.
This is cus I've found that the compound's effectiveness wears off after 4 weeks with me.
What dyou think?
Pct would be your standard letro pct depending on how long the cycle lasts. HCG really fucked me up last time.
good quality bait i r8 it 8/8
Yes, HCG really fucks you up, which is why you don't just fucking add it to everything. It can permanently ruin your endocrine system you faggot.
What about blast n cruise?
Been on a break from exercising for about 2-3 months. My PR on squat used to be 21 kgs on each hand dumbbell squat (noob). Let me give you some context of my situation. Got home gym with a lot of weights, no kettlebell, but don't have anyone to form check my squat since my bro left, so I need a kinda safe type of squat that can still make me hate myself after I'm done so I can have big gains. Now, could any of you guys please help me a bit? My current view on dumbbell squat is that it's very tiring yet rewarding, but can still send you to snap city like a barbell squat if you don't have the best form at all times, so not really noob-friendly. Now, if I did kettlebell squats, I would still use a dumbbell but not hold two of them on waist height, I would either grab with both hands 1 dumbbell and put it on my chest or have it down between my legs. Last, the pistol squat seems really cool, yet it's really fuckin' hard to do and I wonder if all the time spent training to finally do it would give me enough gains as doing the other two.
Also, which exercise gives what gains (glutes, quads, hamstring, etc...)
BARBELLLLL SQUUUAAAAAAATSSSS...
>>36854326
well, I don't have a barbell and even if I did, as I said I'm a noob which I would probably fuck my waist up senpai
>>36854344
You want gains or not? Get a power rack/cage. You're not going to fuck anything up senpai, squats are ez pz.
You said you have "a lot of weights".
Im donating blood next week, how long should I wait before returning to the gym?
>>36854041
Ask the people at the donation-place, they probably know on account of that being their job and all.
A nights rest works for me. I used to give blood fairly often.
>>36854041
Depends on your age. I'm 23, given lots of times, working out the next day is fine for me.
Is it a good idea to masturbate before a workout or after?
Should I make a schedule?
>>36853977
ejaculation drains your body from energy and zink

Should i start wearing gloves, or is it Cringe so i Should just endure this pain?
>>36853908
You must grip the bar like a retard.
>is it unpopular to take simple, practical measures to avoid injuries?
Yes. You should keep doing what you're doing or strangers in the gym will think less of you.
>>36853908
you should learn how to hold the bar
>>36853921
wrong
if op uses gloves he will never correct his retarded grip
Why has this place been flooded by self-pitying feels-tripping faggots? Why has /fit/ of all boards, the antithesis of whinging and the crabs-in-the-bucket syndrome, become the hot new /r9k/ destination, since /r9k/ drowned in the rampant, relentless shitposting? Why has the drive to improve and better yourself and reach whatever goals and achievements you might've set out for yourself been replaced by the drive to cry woe-is-me about how everything sucks and it's all just so hard and have that behavior enabled by others, plus some lifting on the side?
Why are you all the sad cunts zyzz said you never have to be?
>>36853805
/r9k/ has been bad for a long time, but you can pin the point of no return down to when 'Normie' became part of the common vernacular.
>>36854005
>Normie
I fucking hate this word. Kill yourself, self-pitying /r9k/ers.
>>36853805
This. Plus /fit/ is basically broscience general. What strikes me the most is how many threads are dedicated to petty arguments about whether you should eat before or after working out, whether you should drink cow's milk or soy milk, whether you should lift weights or do calisthenics. Just eat well and work every muslce until it hurts and you'll be fine. Not that complicated. Do you think all /fit/ people throughout history counted calories/macros while eating 6 meals a day, roided and worked out exactly 3*1h a week? If so you're a fucking retard.
So this well know aussie trainer from the tv's TBL has come out said she's never met a happy obese person, then all these people on twitter preceded tell her she hasn't met them because they are fat and happy.
So basically what u guys are doing is unnecessary because u can be fat and happy

>fat and happy
Sorry, i'd rather be fit and happy so that i can look down on fatties and dyels.
Don't think I've seen anyone here complain about fatties because they're miserable. Fat and happy is still fat.
Hey /fit/
Been doing PPLxPPLx and PPLPPLx splits for a while. Just curious as to how you set up your PPL splits regarding volume and exercise selection.
For example, I aim for 8-10 sets per major muscle group (lats/chest/etc), 6-8 per minor (bis/tris/etc), usually leading to around 20-28 sets per workout depending on what I am training. I also rotate primary main compounds (e.g. alternate bench/ohp as primary exercise each push day). This seems to be working pretty well, apart from the volume is difficult to handle on a cut and I sometimes need to take the odd de-load/rest. What is your approach?
Can you post your routine?
I was doing PPLxPPLx but I had to change to a 5 day strict bro split due to fucked up changes in my life. I think I might move house soon and get my shit together and was wondering about a good approach.

Seated Shoulder Press 5x10
Weighted Dips 3x8
Lateral Raises 5x10

Lateral Pulldowns 4x10
T-Bar Rows 3x8
Preacher Curls 4x8
Closegrip Chinups 1x8, 1xF, 1xF

Squats 5x5
Leg Press 4x8
Leg Extensions 3x12

DO STARTING STRENGTH YOU, FUCKING RETARDED FAGGOT!!!!!!!
YOU ARE NOT AN ADVANCED LIFTER!!!!
DO YOU LIFT 2/3/4/5 PL8S ON THE PRESS, THE BENCH PRESS, THE SQUAT AND THE DEADLIFT FOR FUCKING REPS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!?
NO?!?! THEN YOU'RE NOT EVEN AN INTERMEDIATE LIFTER
>>36853682
OP, why do you fall for the leg day meme?
Just put squats into your pull day and be done with it.
>lifting for grills when
>girls cant rationalize
>girls arent funny, no sense of humor
>girls have no hobbies
>Bandwaggoning applies to every. single. girl. there is

>eat at like 2200 calories for less than a week

how long before that shit stabilize?
i'm afraid of getting fat again even if i know i can lose the fat easely.
>>36853629
>ending a cut
>still eating below maintenance
What?
>>36853638
yeah, i was eating like 1500 calories, sometimes less for long, my stomac propably shrinked and i'm disgusted when i eat, but forcing myself.
even got some greek yogurt and peanut butter (not a shity sugared one) but i still wana vomit after every meal...
i'm gonna aim for maintenance by today tho
ive never tought one day i wouldnt be able to eat food as much as i want.
I wish I could bulk on 2,2k senpai
So I'm 6'8, around 205cm.. Too tall?
Pic completely unrelated
>>36853565
I'm 194cm and people tell me I'm too tall. Guess it all depends where you live
>>36853575
Should specify, I'm not lanky. Used to fat af, now I'm just chubby. To get built I'd need to fraud yeah?
This shit's been fucking with me all day, really pissing me off.

How do I convince this guy he's being retarded? Jesus fucking christ. Am I wrong here? Feels like after all of the hard work I've put in, after feeling weak for so long, I've sculpted my body into something I'm proud of, and this fuck tries to trivialize all of it.
Pic unrelated, it's Hannah UK
he's right though, taller people have a larger ROM, means they have to move the weight a longer distance for a full correct rep
>>36853393
He's a moron, but he's got a point about relative strength favouring smaller lifters - even at the same weight on the bar, he's going to have to do more work (in the physics sense) because has to move it further. And 1.5xBW would be a fair bit more weight for him.
Of course, if he actually had any absolute strength worth talking about he wouldn't be so defensive about it.
>>36853393
It is easier for you to look muscular and your ROM is shorter than his but you shouldnt feel bad about it. He sounds retarded though.
Redpill me on resistance bands, /fit/. Do you use them? Do they work?
Thinking about getting the black one, on Scooby's recommendation:
http://scoobysworkshop.com/resistance-bands/
>>36853373
Mostly useful as a temporary replacement if you're travelling. Not so good as a primary mode of training.
>>36853384
Yeah I have a long trip planned soon and I'm hoping these will be a decent replacement until I have gym access again.
>>36853373
Feels more like wrestling than lifting, if that makes sense.
anyone here who does keto diet for maintenance or bulk?

>>36853294
