Lol don't tell me you think chickens better

You're so good at reading my mind.

 

[Kashmirilion]

what would you suggest?? apart from beef which is not available here.any supplement shall I take??

High carbs in your diet pasta rice potato but don't sit on your backside otherwise you will just gain it on your stomach work out while eating high carbs.

 

[dauntless]

No, you only start taking supplements when you have an idea of what you're doing. You're not at that stage right now. I feel like bashing my head against the wall whenever I see newbies wasting away their money on supplements.

Right now just get try to get more calories in however you can; eggs, rice, chicken, fish, milk... even beans will do.

Thanks. I would give it a try.

Yes, start lifting but you'll need to have a proper diet in order to make progress.

Have been trying to loose belly fat for quite some time but only recently I found an effective way to do so. I have been running daily for 45 minutes followed by 5 100m sprints and regular ab work. Everything in the ground and while doing so i have managed to reduce my body fat from 13# to 10.5 % in a month. Another important adjustment was to decrease my calorie intake from 3500 to around 2500-3000. During all this my total body weight is still the same. Now I’m planning to work on muscles and perhaps gain a couple of kilos of muscle mass. So far so good

 

[PetroDollars]

losing body fat is not hard, i only train for 30 mins and shed fat in no time. You just have to be lifting heavy, not wasting time on cardio. Also for me its easy to restrict calories, especially on training days and because its so hot these days in London, it all makes me sick.

So its only difficult for me when im trying to gain muscles, i really find it difficult to go over 2000 calories/day, i cant even hit that most of the times.

 

[Suleiman]

Very angry today. Have been working out for 4 weeks now, feeling stronger than I've ever felt, doing a PPL program with constant progression on the big 5 lifts every week since I started end of June, but squats are such a ***** to perfect form wise.

Watched a ton of videos, practiced in front of a mirror, didn't ego lift, asked others to watch form and then 2 days ago on a mere warm up of 80 lbs I think I hyperextended my spine at the bottom because there's some annoying pain even today in my lower back and I can somewhat feel it in my legs too.

I hope it's okay by tomorrow, am tired of starting and stopping my weightlifting journey time and again.

I hate squats, there's so many moving parts that you have to watch out for else you end up injured ):<

Has anyone here tried intermittent fasting? what's the results like after 3-4 months? how much did you exercise?

I'm trying to shed about 15 lbs, but I don't really want to go into weight lifting.

You can lose 15 lbs in 2-3 weeks if you go hard at it.

It's not possible to lose that much in that amount of time unless you basically end up starving yourself.

 

[ManFan]

I want to lose weight but am not too keen on calisthenics or weight lifting.

I like running, basketball, and boxing.

Can doing cardio and enforcing a strict fruits/veggies diet help reduce weight effectively?

Anyone who has, can they tell the overall differences they found mentally and or emotionally?

Yes. You'll lose weight as long as you're burning more calories than you're consuming throughout the day. That's the simple answer but you really have to be enjoying the foods that you're eating because a restriction based diet will NEVER work. You'll go back to your old ways as soon as you're done "dieting."

I have a lot more self-confidence now, the feeling of accomplishment is there, people don't talk crap to my face, you feel more energized throughout the day and obviously, I love spending lots of time in front of the mirror. Call me a narcissist if you want, I don't mind.

That's very bad.

I have been doing low calorie/carb diet for 2 weeks and intermittent fasting which is 16 hour fast and 8 hour eat period. Max calorie intake ~2000 calories... I have lost pretty much what would be considered 'water weight' and that is about ~6 pounds, the first week but I'm not seeing any reduction beyond that.

With intermittent fasting I do feel more energetic when I get up, which is good.

 

[ManFan]

Used to play a lot in middle school.

Never could shoot the ball too well so I was the guy in the post catching rebounds and playing defense despite having average height.

Getting back into it now and hope to develop another shot cause all I’ve got now is the Skyhook.

If you work hard, you should enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Thanks on the info. I hate veggies but I can dig it on fruits so I’ll be alright until I get that steak and brown rice craving.

True, but it's equally important to remain humble at the same time also. I still cringe thinking about the time when I used to walk around in a tank top/small t-shirt. 9 out of 10 girls don't care about how much you can lift, it's all anecdotal.

Girls care about the following things...

1) Confidence
2) Other girls find you attractive
3) You have some type of power or control over others

You don’t need muscles if you’re a movie star!

Layups are underrated. If you can't shoot then they become even more important. Look at LeBron, he's not a great shooter but still gets a lot of points on layups. I would stay away from the post if you're an average height. It's only efficient if you're tall.

Nah, I don’t mind the elbows in the post.

Layups are criminally underused nowadays as the three-pointer has become the IT thing.

Just like driving to the lane and doing a funky layup was IT during D-Rose’s heyday.

I lost 15 lbs in 3.5 weeks through Keto. No starving, full 3 meals a day and real food no gimmicks or chemicals

Yeah I know all that, I found I was messing up my breathing or not focused on it in the exercise. Tried today with taking in a huge breath at the top, squeeze my glutes and then doing what you listed and it was fine.

Yea I'm athletic so I prefer driving and doing acrobatic layups. That's how I score most.

Is there some stuff you do specifically for forearms or just composite ones ?

Hammer curls are great for building your forearms along with your biceps only if done properly. Farmers walk will help also.

Why do all the people get shocked when I tell them I'm only in the gym for vanity? Why else would I spend 15 hours a week in the gym?

Strength is obviously an important element also, but that too falls under vanity since I'll rarely need to lift anything above 300 lbs in my day to day life.

Nah, it's just the bloody normies who feast on burgers every single day. They'll call you "obsessed" because they lack the discipline and dedication to move up themselves. If you have a single bicep vein, you're on "juice."

 

[Abdul]

Mornings: The wrecking crew, everyone is seen doing their own thing, hardcore lifters, and a couple of 500 lbs squatters...

Evenings: Old people and normies who go to the gym for Instagram.

[Abdul]

What's a healthy way of gwttibg >4000 calories. Is it possible on a desi diet?

It's possible but you have to know what you're exactly doing and you've to be knowledgeable about nutrition. You've to avoid things like oil etc. Cholesterol is the biggest problem when you're looking at Desi foods.

The healthy way of getting 4000 calories in involves going HEAVY on carbs. You will NEVER get that many calories in if you're trying to "avoid" carbs.

So far I'm eating a lot of carbs and avoiding excessively oily food however I've heard "carbs are bad" and lately the trend is people avoiding carbs altogether (?!).

That is if people are trying to lose body fat. Protein only helps you with muscle recovery, you still need carbs in order to gain size.

I feel like I have chronic soreness. My leg (hamstring + glute) has been sore for 3 weeks. Now my back got sore last week and I made it worse with bad form on shoulder press yesterday.

I'm basically tired ah but I don't want to rest all day either.

 

[Madplayer]

Has anyone tried Carb cycle? How did you find its results?

 

[Suleiman]

Have some serious hip mobility issues it seems when it comes to squatting. If I don’t do a proper warmup of mobility exercises worth like 15-20 mins then I struggle on squats.

Lanat hai squats par. I gotta do all this prep work to enjoy it’s benefits and avoid injury, but I have to.

Still, I’m progressing on the other lifts on leg day esp incline leg press every week.

I usually get lower and stick my butt out more on deadlifts. Also helps prevents back injury.

You're right, this is an assault and can be classified as battery also. The kid has said that he is going to be pressing charges and might even end up suing the guy.

The backstory happens to be that the gym's staff members told the guy to place the mats under the bar since deadlifting "makes too much noise" and he happily complied, as you can see in the video.

The idiot in that video was not a staff member, though... he was just a random person thought he ran the gym and decided to take matters into his own hands because he "didn't like that deadlifting was making too much noise." He wouldn't have done jack if it was an older person deadlifting, instead of a teenager.

WHO CARES IF DEADLIFTING MAKES TOO MUCH NOISE? YOU'RE IN A GYM.

Hate guys like that in the vid. Their muscles grow but their manhood shrinks so they take it out on guys progressing in life. Hope he gets swerved.

 

[hadi123]

Today in my cricket match when our keeper asked me if I have been going to the gym, that's a great feeling. I don't feel like I'm making progress but everyone else seems to be, when my family from America came over, they were also saying I look more muscular.

My biggest man-crush right now.

Honestly this doesn't look that great

Leaner looks better and plenty have achieved that and a lot of muscle to go with that.

Guys like these tire out fairly quickly too when their cardio is challenged

Also.... Looks like they are compensating for something else lol

Ronaldo has the ideal physique imo

Fair enough. Yeah, he doesn't have a maintainable physique but he can last a lifetime if he's smart about it like Schwarzenegger. He is not an overly big guy anyways but his bicep insertions are the worst in the whole industry but he was born that way. You cannot defy genetics.

I hate guys like Ronnie Coleman and Phil Heath.

That's the thing about bodybuilding though, everybody does it for their own desired look, strength and/or competitions. To us that dude looks like a cloud, but to himself he looks good.

I wouldn't want to look like that either, but that's just preference.

Lol what's he doing wrong?

This is plain stupid and inviting an injury. At least the weight isnt too heavy. That might save him.

Why does the treadmill max out at 12 mph? I want to see my max speed. It's probably around 14 for 10 seconds I'm guessing.

Running outside is better. You can check your speed with a Snapchat filter.

Hit 9 kilometers today, took me 37 minutes. Tryna reach 10k.

What do you guys use to shed the fat while keeping protein up to maintain muscle

 

[Madplayer]

What do you guys use to shed the fat while keeping protein up to maintain muscle

Nothing. Just play around with your food.
Calculate BMR, calculate maintainence calories. 25-30% maintainence calories should come from fat, with regards to protein start with your body weight (kgs) multiplied by 1.8 and that is the amount of protein in grams that you should eat. Rest of the calories should come from complex carbs. When you shed some fat (lets say in 1 month), recalculate your maintainence calories and increase the protein intake ( your body weight multiplied by 2) while reducing the appropriate amount of calories from fat and carbs to reach maintainence calories for the new (reduced) body weight. In this way over time you can go up to your body weight multiplied by 2.2 , in terms of protein in take while reducing calories from carbs and fats. It is advised to not go over the 2.2 number unless you are competing because you will find it hard to digest protein.
