@silsophi If I were you I would hire an online coach to run all your diet and training, not just a PT to get training advice once a week

@silsophi If that’s the case I would change more movements to machines or cables where that slight breakdown in form is 1. Less likely to occur because you’re more locked into a position/movement path, and 2. Less of a big deal if it does occur, because they’re designed so you won’t fuck...

@silsophi Obviously not everyone was born to look like a Mr. Olympia caliber bodybuilder, but usually when people plateau a couple years into lifting despite seemingly having all their variables locked down it comes down to a couple of things: Really ask yourself if you’re training hard enough...

@gwrichardson Add some salt and potassium. 1-1.5g salt and 0.5-1g potassium if you want to get exact. Otherwise looks good.

@barbaraaltman Moisturize daily or at least a few times a week, stay hydrated, and use a collagen supplement (mixed evidence that this works, no downside though) They tend to go away after a while for a lot of people. Bottom line, don’t worry too much about it

@ablessedwoman As I said initially, you’re probably not going to get this guy’s results by copying his diet 1:1. But you should play around with yours to see what works for you.

@ablessedwoman I don’t know why people are harping on ThE sCiEnCe here. Assuming he’s telling the truth, it clearly works for the guy. If he feels good and can do this sustainably, why not? That doesn’t mean you should do this. You’re not going to get his results just by copying his diet setup...

@breezer You probably just metabolize it very quickly then

@breezer Have you been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD by chance? On the beta alanine thing, you can just buy raw beta alanine from bulksupplements and add it to whatever pre you like the flavor of. About 6.4g/day is the point where you probably won’t experience any additional benefit.

@awoods88 In most situations, if your goal is to grow muscle, your cuts should be as short as possible. Calorie deficit should be as large as you can tolerate without drastically reducing training performance and losing muscle. Refeeds/diet breaks can and should be used strategically when doing...

@breezer The actual answer here is to taper off caffeine for a while. By continuing to search for pre with progressively greater amounts of stims, you’re driving a cycle of fatigue and poor recovery that is actively hurting your progress. I know you’re going to say “nah I’m not gonna do that...

@frelibro Are you gaining weight and getting stronger? Are you following the same routine consistently? If no, fix those things.

@schubert Step 1. Build a huge shoulders and a wide back, do not train obliques Step 2. Diet down to ~10% body fat If you still don’t have a small waist or the illusion of it, repeat steps 1 and 2 until you do

@brianlee3271 You actually had the right idea to begin with. Training hard with a constant RIR and just going hard for more reps week over week then increasing weight when you hit a rep target is a perfectly viable strategy for progressive overload. You likely didn’t need a deload because the...

@galatians220lyric What is your rate of loss? If you feel satiated and your performance in the gym isn’t suffering a huge amount I won’t say that your deficit is too large, but that does seem like a very small amount of calories. I would definitely include more fruits and veggies for...

@chelseyn09 I’m gonna be real with you man, nothing you can do naturally will get you stage lean in 5 weeks from your current starting point. I would highly recommend pushing back your show. I don’t know enough about the specifics of your body and how you’ve been responding to things ti make a...

@thunderchildau There isn’t a practical way to directly measure it but you can calculate it with an online calculator. This isn’t particularly useful because it doesn’t actually matter. Only TDEE matters.

@deni500 The panatta high row and chest supported row have different mechanisms to actually move the load that result in a much more even resistance curve. On those the weight isn’t attached directly to the machine arm you’re moving like on the hammer strength ones. They’re also higher quality...

@rumiakthar No you don’t. Go on a TDEE calculator website and type in the stats it asks for (usually height, weight, age, and activity level). That will give you a ballpark estimate of TDEE. Based on that number, adjust your calories according to your goals. Weight yourself regularly in the...

@deirdreatkins Exactly, I’m a huge fan of a lot of single arm back movements where you’re anchored in or supported somehow.
