@rkenoke Bro honestly good job man you are a true inspiration keep it up man.

 

[jesusboosted]

@rkenoke Did you mean that you switched to calisthenics because you kept injuring yourself lifting weights at the gym?

 

[rkenoke]

@jesusboosted that’s correct. 10 years of body building but then i got out of shape. would workout for 3-6 months, then injure my back, then try to heal and then go back to square one

 

[rkenoke]

was stuck in that cycle for 5 years with very little progress. i was pretty jacked in college but never got back to that level

 

[rkenoke]

now i feel like i have a better physique aesthetically than when i was lifting in college

@rkenoke Dude... Huge, Huge props.

So much effort and perseverance.

Obviously weights are a must but I incorporate much more bodyweight stuff now and I wish I'd done it sooner.

I also incorporate a lot more isolation + visualization stuff. I used to just always go as heavy as possible. I also used to get injured and a inevitably fall off my grind. Rotator cuff and etc

Idk if it's related but these days I don't get real bad doms either. Could just be a symptom of being much more conscious and deliberate as a whole.

I'm curious what protein and shake you're using. Something I'm putting in my shake is hell on my stomach and I'm not sure what the problem is.
I'm thinking it's the whey but I haven't come across a comparable alternative. (I'm not lactose intolerant or allergic to dairy. Idk if that's relevant but I feel like I've read such people can often have problems with whey)

As well as your creatine?

Do you grind up your oats into like a flour or are you not bothered by the consistency?

Anything you lean on nutrition wise that you'd recommend other than salads. Macro/micro w/e

 

[rkenoke]

@strayan123 just started incorporating weights 4 months ago

 

[rkenoke]

@strayan123 creatine just get any monohydrate

for protein i use muscle milk premade and orgain’s vegan protein premade and powder

 

[rkenoke]

@strayan123 if i use instant i just let it sit overnight. i started using steel cut and now i paraboil first and then let sit overnight

 

[rkenoke]

@strayan123 i don’t worry too much about macros. just calories in, calories out for the last 60 days. i try to hit at least 100g protein but i don’t overthink it

 

[pyrhonn]

@rkenoke What are your calories in a out? What % increase do you usually aim for?

 

[rkenoke]

@pyrhonn I don’t count. I workout 3-5x’s a week and I try to eat clean 80% of the time and I cook my own food. I roughly track my protein

 

[revkmj]

@rkenoke That’s insane, it looks like you did one Pokémon evolution for each passing year. Mad respect brother #goals

 

[rkenoke]

@revkmj i choose u, calisthenichu!

 

[verde_sonno]
