No, SL does not have AMRAP sets. A novice lifter doing a 5x5 or any standard sets across novice LP routine should not be hitting complete failure. You last rep should be pretty difficult, but you should still be completing it with decent form. Going to complete failure on compound lifts is not something to do on a regular…

I weigh meat after it is cooked. I know it is not accurate, but I am consistent with it, so my results are also consistent. If I am cutting and trying to just shoot for minimums on protein and fat in order to maximize carb intake, I will set those macros a bit under minimum on here with the understanding that I am really…

SS does have the same standard linear progression scheme. For a novice looking to gain size I would suggest something with a bit more volume like SL, ICF, Allpro's, or this super quick novice routine Alternate A and B routines 3 non consecutive days per week. (Ex. Mon\Wed\Fri, week one ABA week 2 BAB, etc.) A routine…

Give him the powders back and just eat more food. You personally probably need about 100g of protein per day. No need to get 25+ grams from powder.

When I eat breakfast, I lose the ability to eat more food later in the day.

I'm so late in this thread that my reply probably won't even be seen, but my definition of eating clean is avoiding trans fats and toxic metals.

I don't like counting calories. That's why I use this convenient phone app to do it for me ;) It can seem tedious at first, but once you get into it, it is no big deal and importantly, you can lose or gain weight at will in a predictable fashion.

Find ways to progress on some squat variant, deadlift variant, push up, pull up, bent over rowing, overhead pressing\hand stand pushups. This can pretty much be done with your body, dumbbells\bands, and a weighted backpack.

you forgot the list of days part. it goes something more like "this is not a routine. it is just a list of days and bodyparts" :) :) :) i agree with dropping the current routine and starting with a good 3 day full body or at least 4 day upper\lower centered around core compound movements.

where to start. i think ill just start throwing things out at random. whether or not you get big on 5/3/1 depends on the exact template you use. BBB will get you plenty big. op said high volume so i assume it is a template that should bring size. op: you could probably have gained weight a little faster. shooting for…

Being unhealthy will get you to heaven quicker. Just sayin'

If you are looking to mostly do bodyweight exercuses then google You Are Your Own Gym. I don't think it will be 100% free, but nothing major. Just a book to buy or something.

It is important to maintain a reasonable calorie deficit daily over a long period of time. How you go about it doesn't matter.
-
The absolute only sugar fear you need to have whatsoever in relation to long term health is going over 50g per day every day in fructose if you are sedentary. Obviously sugar can be an empty calorie substance found in calorie dense foods, and eating a lot of it could put you over your calorie intake limits.
-
Well it might be easier to give a more accurate answer if you stated your goals, but the only thing that matters is net calorie intake vs net calories burned. Whether you exercise for 5 hours or none at all, at the end of the day, if you consume less calories than you burn, you will lose weight. If you perform a balanced…

I have faith that eating big and lifting big leads to getting big, so I eat big and lift big.
-
For you I would say it about 100% doesn't matter. Do whichever you prefer. In reality, huge pro bodybuilders use what many people would consider terrible form with lots of hip drive, but it actually works really well.

What method you should use depends on where you are currently and whether or not you care about making the strength gains as fast as possible or not. If you want the fastest possible, then use a routine tailored to your current strength levels. If you don't care about fastest progress, then something slower but still…

and drugs. If you want to look like a "natural" bodybuilder, then just a few drugs. If you want to look like an ifbb pro, then A LOT of drugs. Like $50,000\year in drugs.

Yeah this. And i agree with no GOMAD. And really no protein shakes\suppliments at all. If you want to be in it for the long haul, you need to learn how to eat more food and if anything suppliment with a reasonable amount of milk. Also for training I would recommend not doing the body part split and starting off with a…

What I meant was that it can't be spiked enough to have any real benefit which is the reason as you say that enhanced lifters inject it directly. If they could raise it high enough by just eating food, they would do that rather than inject it. The reality is that we can not acutely manipulate ANY hormone in our body enough…

This is the opposite of what you should do. Anyone who cares about maintaining muscle especially during weight loss should eat at least 1g\lb of lbm in protein and .45g\lb of lbm in fat daily. It is possible to get away with less if you want to complicate things by paying more attention to sources and their quality, but…

Eat more food? I personally prefer to get all of my calories from solid food when losing weight. I'm not sure why anyone would want to use shakes and powders while undereating.
