    Is there a trade off between effort and volume for hypertrophy?

    So I have been following the general advice of taking sets to failure (or close to failure) and doing a good amount of volume (20 sets per week) for my legs and glutes. But I am noticing I am sore when I take sets to (or close to) failure AND do 10 sets per leg day. I am not sore if I dont push...

    What do you eat before an early morning workout?

    Switching work schedules soon and am planning on being in the gym early. I don’t want to go in with no fuel but the idea of eating anything at 6-7AM makes me nauseous tbh. Are there any hearty/easily digestible foods I can use to get some fuel in me? I’ve heard some people say dates, maybe...

    Sporty people: Where do you get all of your protein?

    Hello everyone, First things first: keep in mind I’m 158cm! This goes to the sporty ones.. I’m having a hard time to get to 120gr a day of protein as I find tempeh disgusting, I have a hard time to digest legumes, so what I’m left with is just tofu and seitan, which gets boring, needs a lot...

    I’ve been going to the gym for about a month, and since I’m (M21) new to weightlifting and skinny, and I try to do full-body workouts 3-4 times a week (with rest days). However, by the time I’ve completed only half of my body, almost two hours has passed and I want to go home. Does anyone...

    Recommendations for starting out, and re: fGF21 and bDNF?

    My current daily routine is garbage. It's time to switch things up. A little background: I'm diagnosed ADHD, and haven't taken medication for 4 or 5 years now; opting to go the more holistic route more or less. The problem is that when my focus suffers, so does everything else! I tend to have...
