@thebelovedofgod I didn’t like dumbbell flies until I started doing them at a slight decline. One exercise I’ve grown to love are weighted decline situps.

@prcg345 Firstly, you have a good physique and clearly have put in the effort. I would say that alone, being tall makes you look like you have less mass compared to someone that’s shorter. When you’re on stage next to the other competitors you’ll really stand out though.

@uniqueperception Is that the adductor aka sus machine? I love that thing but those machines don’t have enough weight. I already have to hang a 45 off of the pins on the little 5 lb additions and I’m gonna have to buy a gym pin off amazon too add more weight. I’m not even that strong. One guy I...

@austinsugden I’m short so my maintenance (without any steps added in) is around 1900. I did a 1000 calorie deficit for 4 weeks once (so 900 cals plus calories burned from steps, usually around 400 extra cals from ~15k steps a day) and it got pretty brutal by the end. For you 2lbs a week is...

@revbillw No, but you’re probably neglecting some things if you do the same stuff every 3 days. Do you get in neck, forearm, calves, and abs training? Even if the main program is the same I’d at least vary the accessories

@victorcourville In no particular order: •RDLs •Ez-bar curl •Neutral close grip lat pulldowns •Leg press •ATG squats •Chest supported row •Seated calf raise •Flat dumbbell press •Overhead press •Weighted decline situps

@luxchmi 243 lbs at 15% would be crazy and look crazy. I still think it’s doable after at least 10 years natty though. I highly doubt you could get to 243 at 8-10% though

@namibia Chicken thighs and salad

@entropy82 When has it ever taken 4-5 days for your chest to recover?

@americandeist Buy a bag of unflavored protein from bulksupplements.com. It’s crazy cheap there. Flavor it with cocoa powder and sugar (I’d recommend stevia but it’s expensive). Chicken thighs and legs regularly go on sale for $0.79 a pound near me. Also, for both protein and a ton of...

@bc1 It helped but I just felt better cutting out carbs during the day. I’ve developed a lot of food intolerances in the past few months that make it so I barely eat any carbs now, and I think my issues with drowsiness stemmed from the developing stage of whatever digestive disorder I have now...

@bc1 I used to have issues with eating and drowsiness too, and they stemmed from carbs and lack of cardio. Your steps are good so I’d just say eat very low carb until you get off work. Maybe try drinking more calories because I also get drowsy from physical fullness. Of course, this is all just...

@righteousbyfaith I don’t like tight fitting or oversized tees. I like normal sized shirts.

@distantthoughts 2-3 minutes for isolations, 3-6 for compounds depending on how taxing they are. I really only rest 6 minutes after a really heavy squat or deadlift set. The way I reduce total workout time is by supersetting any movement I can. Sometimes I will even superset three movements if...

@themartinfamily You need more electrolytes, mainly salt. I make a gym drink that is just true like powder, sweetener, and salt and I have never cramped during a workout since starting that.
