    Made absolutely no progress in the past year when I had pretty much everything dialed in, starting to lose motivation..

    @wmsgil 2261 calories, at 6ft tall and 25 years old seems quite low to me for any bulk. Try adding 200-300 more calories and see what happens? I mean it makes sense that if you didn’t gain basically any weight in an entire year of training that you simply did not eat enough

    @wmsgil I am the same height as you and MacroFactor tells me to eat way more than 2200 calories for a lean bulk. It even has my maintenance cals higher than your lean bulk cals. Something seems off there

    @wmsgil To me it looks like you did make some progress. Though not a massive amount. Which is fine. Your calories are clearly maintenance level. Do a long, lean bulk. Up the cals by 250-350. Cut when you’re feeling bigger or uncomfortable with the body fat gain.

    Workout split PPL X Arnold

    @cdnguy37 Upper + lower = 2 days PPL = 3 days Less days same muscles worked, and you get to hit legs twice rather than once in your split It’s just more efficient. Why spend 5 days accomplishing less than what you can do in 4?

    A friend of mine asked me if I was natural or if I took creatine

    @gworden Personally I have decided to reach my natural peak before I start taking creatine.

    How many exercises do you do for a muscle group and why?

    @orthodox_christian I’m currently doing full body 3x per week so I do one exercise per muscle group each workout. 3 sets with 1-2 RIR. Seems to work pretty good 👍🏻

    An Ode to the Bro Split

    @booboo222 People care so much about splits, I think it’s kinda crazy. Any split that make some sort of sense can be good. Personally I just run whatever split I have time for. Right now it’s UL split 4 days a week. If I have more time then I tend to go with Arnold split, which is a bro split...

    @joshteo What would lead you to believe that training 4 times every day would be good?

    What is your favourite meal during a weight loss phase?

    @namibia I’m old school, I like chicken broccoli rice. I will jazz up the chicken by grilling it, or add a sauce that changes the flavor profile a bit. I also enjoy baking a large filet of salmon and eating a serving of that with potatoes/sweet potatoes and a green veg. Brussels sprouts is my fav

    Renaissance Periodization - How To ACTUALLY Build Muscle As Fast As Possible

    @maria28 It is correct. I love it. I think the hardest part of this is training 6 days a week. And he does say in the video 5 or 6. Still, I think that is what most people will struggle with. 6 days is burnout town. Most people do better with 4 days or less. But he never specifies how many times...
