Protein farts!
If you eat a lot of protein, odds are you know what I'm talking about. That disgusting, foul smell that can clear out a five mile radius caused by a high protein diet. At first I thought it was the dairy (whey protein) but then I went vegan and switched to a vegan protein powder, yet the problem persists. Does anyone know…

Why does everyone here recommend strength based programs?
Even 4chan has moved away from telling everyone to do SS and call it a day. Most people here want aesthetics more than strength. I've seen much better results on a "bro split" than I ever did on a strength based program. I don't lift heavy. The heaviest I ever go is lmao2plate!!!1! and half the time I don't go heavier than…

Ladies, show off your big, bulky thighs
I'm so sick of all this thigh gap crap I see on the forums. OP will ask how to get a thigh gap, someone will suggest squats, and then another poster will tell them it'll make them "bulky." Why do people want these little chicken legs? Show us that bigger thighs are beautiful. ITT: women post thigh pics/progress. I'll…

America no longer world’s fattest developed nation
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/news/america-fattest-obese-un-144341236.html 'Murica! *kitten* yeeeaahhh! "Nearly a third of Mexican adults (32.8 percent) are considered obese—people aged 20 and older whose body mass index (BMI) is 30 and above. That edges out the United States, where 31.8 percent of American adults are…

Should I cycle creatine?
This sounds like such a n00b question to me, but I've read a lot of conflicting evidence on the subject. I've read that most of the benefit of creatine is in the first week or two of a cycle so it should be cycled (load, maintenance, deload, stop, repeat). I've also read that there's more of a benefit when taken…

Watermelon Oreos
Have any of you tried them? They look pretty good but I could see how a watermelon flavored Oreo wouldn't taste good.

Strength ratio btwn flat vs. incline bench? +other bench Q's
What's an average strength ratio between flat bench vs. incline bench? I can do 105 for flat bench and 100 on incline. I feel like most of the guys at my gym will bench significantly more on flat bench than they do on incline. I made friends with these two guys at the gym and we were working out together. One of the guys…

Critique my routine?
I've had pretty solid progress on this routine. I've only been on it for a month but so far I'm liking it. I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything so I thought I'd post it for review. The way I cycle it is into five days with alternating hypertrophy and power days. So basically A-H, B-P, C-H, etc. Hypertrophy (H)…

"You're so lucky to be so thin"
Wat. I hate when people say this to me. I somewhat understand in the cases people that eat McDonald's every day and never go to the gym but I hate when people assume I'm one of those "naturally skinny" people. Most of the people that say this to me are fat and too lazy to do anything about it so they make excuses for…

Shoulder pain from squats
I've gotten to the point where I'm pretty strong and squatting a good amount of weight for my size. My legs can handle it and I'm able to stabilize the bar and squat to at least parallel with proper form. However, right after my shoulders hurt like a mofo. I'm not sure if it's a flexibility/mobility issue with my shoulders…

Pizza: complete source of macros and micros
Just saw this article on reddit and I thought it would be a good discussion piece here. This pizza is made to be 30% of the average adults required nutrition (macros and micros). The article doesn't list the calories or macros, just describes it as 30% of what you need every day. So you could theoretically eat nothing but…

10g of usable protein-51kcal of chicken or 1682kcal of nuts
Not sure if everyone else has seen Goobz' protein quality calculator but it's a great resource. It's important to complete your proteins. I'm a vegetarian so I'm at a slight disadvantage for muscle building but by paying close attention to my protein sources I can still make it. How much protein do you need to eat in order…

How many calories to build a pound?
I know that when your body breaks down one pound of fat it yield 3500 calories. I know that when your body breaks down a pound of muscle it yields 600 calories. My question is how many calories does it take to build a pound of muscle? I'm sure there's some extra calories involved in the synthesis of new muscle tissue other…

Going out with friends
I feel like all social events involve either drugs/alcohol (I'm in recovery, just over two years clean) or food which I'm weird and particular about, plus I do intermittent fasting so it usually doesn't fit into my feeding window. The only places I go with friends are to the gym or to AA/NA meetings if they're also in…

They just won't grow...
...My calves! I've added .75" to my upper arms and 1.5" to my thighs but I'm afraid I'm doomed to be in goat mode forever :sad: I do all the major compounds and I use the seated calf raise at the gym. It only goes up to 305lbs so I usually do 3x25@305lbs with long negative and largest ROM I can make my ankles do. I've been…

Crepes! [low cal] [low carb] [gluten free] [high protein]
As a vegetarian it can be hard to get enough protein so I made two lovely recipes for crepes and I thought other might like to try them. Maple cinnamon crepes 3/4 cup egg whites 1/2tbsp milled flax seeds 1/4tsp baking powder 1/4cup sugar free maple syrup (I use Vermont's sugar free maple syrup) 1tsp of cinnamon **130…

95lbs lost and 19lbs of muscle gained in 11 weeks
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130311/news/703119634/?interstitial=1 That's a loss of about 10lbs of fat a week and a gain of nearly 1.75lbs of muscle a week...by a female! Obviously that rate of fat loss is incredible but for the biggest loser it's common since they workout for like four hours a day. What I'm more…

What is "junk food"?
No, seriously. What is junk food? Most people think of chips, soda, ice cream, pizza, etc. when they hear junk food but what makes it junk food? Is it food that isn't "clean"? My protein powder isn't found growing in nature, it has to be processed. Does that mean protein powder is junk food? Is it food that's high calorie?…

Question about female bulking calories
I've managed to get pretty lean and I'm very strong for my size, but now I'm looking to increase my muscle mass. I understand that the average female can gain about .5lb/month of muscle which would mean a daily surplus of around 60calories. The problem with such a small surplus is that I would have to be so meticulous…

Am I the only one...
...that finds fats super unsatisfying? If I eat something high fat like nuts I find that I'm hungry again in less than an hour, but if I eat something high in (good) carbs like oatmeal, fruits, or vegetables I'm full for quite a while. I do 20/4 intermittent fasting and I just can't eat a lot of fats and fast. This…
