It gets this way way more than it needs to. People just don’t like admitting they got taken advantage of.

In same boat. I put on weight so easily. I don’t know if it’s a blessing or curse.

I love how BCAA threads roll down the same hill over and over. 1. Someone asks a question on them. 2. People who have answered it a bunch of times show the scientific studies. 3. Someone else defends or questions the evidence against. 4. Many give personal experiences but it’s ignored. 5. The person who was nice enough to…

Here you go. I tried it a few months back. It did not help at all IMHO. I then increased my protein macro to 40% of daily. This did help. Now that is only a personal experiment and not scientific in the least. Still, it matches the current studies.

I am shooting for those numbers but am closing in on 1150 quick. The thing is with totals some bodies are much better at either lower (mine) or upper depending. I can't do a bodyweight bench but am well over 2x on deads. Hell, my squat is almost 2x bodyweight. They are a goal nothing more, but I agree they are a damn good…

One of the most inspiring things I’ve seen in a long time.

My bench is barely 225 but for some reason my squat is 410 and now a deadlift of 500. I do have a big butt and it might help B)

Mainly face but sometimes on chest or back. It isn't too extreme but still makes me wonder what is going on. It might be what @Lean59man or something completely else. Since it's only a few here and there I don't worry about it. Still, it seems that everytime one batch clears up another crop pops up and it gets annoying.…

A 3-day full body might actually be more volume than a bro-split for most of the body. You are basically hitting everything 3 times a week. @AnvilHead is pointing you in the right direction. For scientific evidence read work by Schoenfeld. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28834797…

This might not be weight gain but damn is it good! Root Beer Whey Float 3-scoops vanilla whey 1 can root beer some ice blend but use a gentle surge type blending it can foam up pretty bad

Follow a proven novice program such as Starting Strength or Strong Lifts.

Schoenfeld has written a few Metas and done studies that contradict a large part of the whole bro-split high rep programming. In one study, where volume was the same, a frequency of 2 times a week saw a larger cross section gain in lean mass than the once a week split. Another meta pointed out that rep schemes of 5 were…

I really don’t think that protein powder is a supplement. It’s just another food source to hit macros. Unfortunately up to 30% of population may be non-responders to creatine. I like e that chart by the way. A really good way to look at it.

I would just walk. Different apps to make it more fun there is a LoTR and Zombie one. I started by just walking and really watching my food. I think food makes the biggest difference at first but walking an extra say 10km a week isn't too hard or much to ask. After you do that for a bit maybe 1 month evaluate your…

Strong as *kitten*. You seemed to drift a bit on lift off toward toes and pulled that *kitten* right back in line. Can't wait to see the next one!

A mass gainer is alright but could get much of the calories from drinking a bunch of whole milk. Most of the proteins are pretty close. I would recommend MyProtein if they ship there. It's direct to consumer and their protein is not much better or worse than others. I use Nutrabio as I like the full discloser on the label…

CI=CO is what allows you to maintain a certain weight. So no you don't have to go to gym or exercise at all if you watch intake. No the bad part, you will likely start to detrain in even a month off. DOMS will be more pronounced again and if you lift you will see your numbers slide a bit. Not necessarily much but it is…

The “The Influence of the Time of Day on Core Temperature and Lower Body Power Output in Elite Rugby Union Sevens Players” study by West, Daniel J an company showed evidence that time of day has a small influence on performance. There was no part in it that worked with fat loss or calories burned. They noticed high end…

I have Do-win’s from Rogue. Not flashy but cheaper and hit all the main points. The also tend to run a bit wider so nice if wider foot. I’ve had mine around 6 months and still look new, but only wear the 2-3 times a week for couple of hours. I do not like any of the Sabo line. They rust anywhere there is metal and just…

You are a wonderful person.

I have tried http://orgain.com/products/organic-protein-powder/ it mixes decent, is a mix of plant proteins so amino acids would be in good ratio, and the taste is better than many others. It is a bit more expensive than some other brands. It has 21g of protein per serving that while not as high as a good whey it is good…

Why do people in general either seek approval or think others are judging them constantly? I really didn't care when I when I started and I don't care now. I would rather put my energy towards worrying about stuff I can change. Not stuff I can't change like a slight (imagined or real) or another person's thoughts. A good…

The problem I think would be protein and supplements. Many supplements people think they need are sourced from animal products. Just be sure to check if it’s vegan. Even stuff like a pre workout can have animal byproducts. Some vegan protein sources can me low in amino acids. It’s easy to get around but you need to be…

Your going to trigger folks by asking. It’s a live wire discussion with people strongly for and against.

Going to agree. I think training to failure is a great way to get injured and is not necessary. Training hard is IMHO but that’s different. The rest is not bad at all.

That only provides calories and nothing else. Check out the market much better apps for tracking resistance training. The Strength portion of the app is way out of date in comparison to others. No custom programs to build yourself. No estimated 1rm. No between set timer. No warm-up calculator based on first working set. No…
-
In comparison to multiple apps that are targeting resistance training, yes by far. Look at the Strong app. It kills MFP for tracking resistance training. Thing is they are for different markets. MFP is for diet and weight management primarily. It's one of best apps for macro/calorie tracking. I wish UA would put money into…

Going to agree. I am very much in the Starting Strength camp. 3 months of the novice and 5 months of programming from SS coaches got me from not lifting to a 1130 powerlifting total. That’s at 45 years old.
