@trey416 Pics were taken after doing handstand pushups and PPPUs so my shoulders and triceps are max pumped and my chest is not pumped at all, thats probably why.

@brobear I started at 3 chinups just barely, and last night i did a 5x5 with 80lbs hanging from my waist and im 170, so thats 250lbs i was pulling. Training harder than last time works.

@brobear If you eat more you will get stronger in an absolute sense, yes. I ate to get my physique where i wanted it while not getting weaker. Now that i am at a maintainable bodyfat, i will slowly incorporate more food to get stronger and build more muscle and hope like hell i dont get fatter...

@brobear My weight went as high as 183 before i started to understand how to get my diet the way i wanted to look the way I wanted while still getting close to 1g/lb of protein a day. I never really counted calories that often at all, and i dont do that now, i just know about what i should be...

@georgiaboy2995 Legs need external resistance. Train them twice a week for a total weekly volume of 10-20 hard sets of whatever combination of exercises you like with heavy enough weight to get anywhere between 8-15 reps per set. Deadlifts, barbell squats, leg press, split squats, lunges, etc...

@dawn16 Greg Doucette. He knows his shit. If you want to get big and strong you cant go wrong doing what he says. His mantra is "train harder than last time."

@biblepracher No idea about measurements, im just 5'10" 170lbs with low enough bodyfat to have visible abs and good vascularity.

@dawn16 Today ive had this since im not working. Breakfast this morning was 2pcs ezekial sprouted grain bread, 4 whole eggs, a bunch of diced onion, 2 slices pepperjack cheese, 2 morningstar vegan breakfast patties, 10oz unflavored organic soymilk. Post workout (4hrs after breakfast) was 1...

@dudeman112 Yea i started training at 33 after i lost a bunch of fat and got down to 158lbs. I was 220lbs of fatness when i turned 30. At 32 i started my diet and cardio.

@dudeman112 I thought I did pretty good for an older guy starting a lot later in life than I should have. A lot of people dont know what it means to train hard, really damn hard. Im just trying to show whats possible if you put diet/training/sleep at the top of your priority list. Your results...

@penn111 I never counted calories, i just eat clean because spinach and gains are more important than cookies. I never really cared too too much about constantly looking in the mirror for progress, i just trusted the process and it took care of itself. Its a long road and you wont see changes if...

@dawn16 Maybe you arent allowing yourself to recover enough based on how hard you are training each body part per week. Its highly individual. I destroy my muscles when i know ive got 2-3 days to recover Edit: i want to expand on this a small bit. Science has shown the best growth happens when...

@abbigaelclark I come home from work and i train as hard as i can for 60-90 mins 4 days a week.

@wiccanguy Depends, chinups and pullups 2 mins max weighted and unweighted, ring rows 60 seconds, pushups and dips 60-90 seconds depending on what my reps are like for that day. Only time ive done 3 mins is when i did deadlifts for 5x5 in the mid 300lbs, but now im starting to do them with sets...

@dhawk When i did them i did weighted once a week and unweighted once or twice a week depending on soreness. 5x5 weighted adding more weight to the next workout when i completed the 5x5 going consistently heavier, unweighted was just a lot reps, messing with variables like reps per minute, total...

@dhawk Uhh working weight this week for weighted chins was a 5x5 with 75lbs (i literally just got plates from craigslist last week after i bought a trapbar), i havent done weighted dips since my gym closed in march but i got up to 100lbs for 5 reps back then. Im building a dipstand with my dad...

@dawn16 You have to be if you want above average results.

@dawn16 I have a couple of walking routes and lots of hiking trails where i live. There is a 10 mile hiking trail i really like that takes 4ish hours. The 5.5mile walk is 11000-12000 steps according to my phone and takes around 100minutes.

@jounto3 Current cardio is a 5.5mile walk with my dogs 3-4 days per week. Low impact for joints (im 35) and heart rate doesnt get super high but its close to 12,000 steps every time, trying to preserve as much muscle as possible. Doing everything i can to keep bodyfat low while growing in size...

@braun I dont train specifically to get a handstand but I do chest to wall handstand pushups and try to balance and get my feet off the wall when pushing up during the first 2ish sets. I might try to train specifically for it eventually, but right now im just doing hypertrophy and strength...
