    No plateaus despite weight stagnant - Making steady strength gains.

    So I’m going by week to week averages and after just calculating the average for this week it seems like I’m doing 0.1lb. I’m still progressing on everything but I’m wondering if I’d have “better” gains if I increased calories a little bit. Or maybe I just need to measure every 2 weeks instead...

    Pre-workout

    Okay, so I guess I’ve built up a tolerance to pre-workout to an extent and I’m trying to find something that feels borderline illegal and is gonna make me want to peel myself like a banana. Recently I’ve tried Insane Labz Psychotic, it has good focus and energy but doesn’t give me that itchy...

    Currently on the 8th week of my cut, and at the first weeks I ate 4 meals spaced throughout the day with 40-50gs of protein . However these last couple weeks, I tried something different, which was skipping breakfast and fasting till lunch, and have only 3 meals a day. For whatever reason I...

    SUPER High Maintenance Calories

    So I’ve got terrible insomnia, and as such last time I bulked, the only real way I was able to make progress was to dirty bulk. After such, I dove headfirst into what in the end turned out to be a 5 month cut, ending with crazy leg, ab, back and chest veins. I ended up crashing my hormones (no...

    Was curious on some feedback for a cutting phase - I ate this yesterday and I felt great and leaned down this am. The chicken breast, if not overcooked, was very tasty and I didn’t feel like I need any sides. Looking for any feedback on Macro mix and overall if this is a good approach to adhere...

    Thoughts on Thomas Delauer's Macro's: 225g Potein | 100g Carbs | 100g Fat @180lbs

    From the IG post below. Was planning to start this but wanted to get some feedback. He acknowledges he takes peptides but would like to keep this focused on macros and not about PED's. His physique has been consistent and that's mainly what I'm looking for. 225g protein, 100g Carbs (sometimes...

    Too much glutamine?

    My whey hydrolysate has >7 g of glutamine per serving. Can I have 4 servings (>28 g of glutamine) of that whey every day or is that too much glutamine? I’ve heard it raises ammonia in blood serum at higher doses. Thanks!

    Why do gear users have different Protein requirements

    This may be a stupid question, I’m just curious and trying to learn. Why is it that so many people on gear eat like 250+g protein? As a natural, do we need less, if so, why? I’m someone that naturally just loves protein and gravitates towards it, so at 160 I tend to eat 200g no problem

    Bulking and van driving

    Hi guys. Bit of a different one here. Any tips for staying awake at the wheel whilst bulking? During a cut it’s not as hard, but whilst bulking I find staying awake at the wheel really difficult as a van driver. I work out at 6.15am to avoid the rush and by the time I’ve trained and got a few...

    I am an 18 year old college male. I sleep at least 7 hours a day (way more on weekends, even getting to the point where it feels unhealthy) and exercise 5-6 times a week both doing weight training and cardio.
