i feel like my arms never get any rest, or any love for that matter. they're constantly aching or hurting, or getting injured. just writing this hurts my wrists a tiny bit
i don't want to quit any of these activies, help plz

Is Tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitor alone (without steroids) effective for cutting fat?
Brody Lee
You're in the wrong place.

i declined because he said he wanted to record my lifts for his youtube.

it's literally just trappy forcing the memeko meme
Blake Carter
Because substances? Or because cutting fat?
As for the latter, I gain muscles easily but I can't lose fat without losing muscle gains. I don't want a sixpack, I just don't want to become obese. Do I want too much?

Jack Barnes
I don't believe in short cuts. If I had to work from fatty borderline alcoholic to lean (soon) and big without help then other people should do it too.
James Morgan
24%. With wrong fat distribution pattern (stomach rather than ass). This is my personal upper acceptable limit. I'm okay with it if it doesn't expand further. But I know it will. I would be okay with as much as 30% if it was ass fat, not stomach fat.
Nothing lazy about dirty bulking when lean bulking simply doesn't happen.

Are you even looking at your calories if it bothers you that much?
Colton Perez
Thanks. I don't think chemical enhancement is anything wrong if not executed mindlessly and gratuitously.
I hate how medical establishment is quick to prescribe people catabolic steroids (cortisol) for various ailments but demonise anabolic steroids (which can often treat these same ailments BTW). Christian sadomasochism and hypocrisy.
Brayden Perry
Reducing calories simply reduces my muscle gains alongside fat loss. It's like rolling back in time, wasted effort.
Anthony Diaz
Perhaps just ride maintenance calories then and recomp? Or are you past that as well?

If you're super autistic about your intake and you don't cut too hard, you can actually gain some muscle, or at least barely lose lean mass, assuming you're not too advanced, which you most likely aren't. Jesus cut while on TM and gained like 1-2 lbs of muscle, DEXA confirmed.
Liam Phillips
>I don't believe in short cuts. Following your logic, people with natural high testosterone should take anti-androgens to avoid "shortcuts". With all respect, I don't think so. I think training against unfavourable endocrine environment is masochistic, irrational, counterproductive and unnecessary.
Ethan Perry
I will consider this. Details, please?
I would need to spend two months in some controlled environment like a training camp to achieve truly autistic level of calorie control. There is no way I can accomplish such precision at home.
Jason Martin

Noah Green
That's a bit of a leap in the dark really, if you're born with a natural advantage then that's not a short cut. Thats just an advantage.
I don't encourage short cuts but I haven't been training long enough to face the wall you may be approaching. I just hope that you know it's the right decision for you before you make it.
>Make own food This is where I systematically fail. I make inedible food. My rice is inedible, my burgers are inedible, my Irish stew is inedible. And no one wants to teach me cooking face-to-face.
Brayden Johnson
The worst trips are online
Literally worse than a dead thread
David Gray
Hey, I dropped my trip code. Does it make you feel better? t. Kortneyfag :^)
Recomposition is where you take one year off lifting to allow all your cells to be replaced which rids of any injuries as you are fully replenished.
James Lewis
Cheffag here, worked in kitchens for 6 years, ask me anything
Ryder Anderson
do they really spit in your food if you're a dickhead?
Connor Hernandez
Why did you always forget to take off the gherkins
Christopher Turner
Where you don't change weight much, but increase lean mass. It's a slower route than cutting where you train at maintenance calories. If you find you lose weight too quickly and start to stall increase the calories by 200. It's hard to accurately determine activity level when calculating your base calorie requirements.
Mason Anderson
Talking about cooking doesn't work for me. I need hands-on guidance. I need to share a flat with someone who lifts and cooks well (ideally a big strong woman with big testicles).
Elijah Mitchell
I think you mean 'obese' if we're thinking of the same person
Benjamin Brown
>It's hard to accurately determine activity level when calculating your base calorie requirements.
Cooper Peterson
Not a grind for me. I switch things up if.I get too bored. Always making gains and setting PRs in something
James Gomez
Am i wrong in thinking it's to do with fat and muscle then?
Brody Garcia
I didn't, I'm hyper sanitary, but you'd be surprised how gross some chefs are. I make the exact same meal for 9 hours straight, then YOU come into MY HOUSE and tell me to change it? "Do a set of 15 squats but on the 14 one pause halfway up" Yeah right
Isaiah Nelson
Well you could easily underestimate if you're training really hard I dunno.
Connor Cook
stop
recomp is when you eat at maintenance to lower your body fat percentage by gaining muscle
Brandon Torres
Deciding not to learn isn't the same thing as not being able to, but suit yourself

Logan Cooper
>tfw when you doubt yourself even when u rite
Zachary Sanders
>recomposition as abstinence from lifting Interesting, thanks.
I'm skeptical about my capacity to accomplish any recomposition on maintenance calorie level. I fear I will just stall. Maybe not, but that's a real possibility that needs to be taken into account.
>If you're born with a natural advantage then that's not a short cut. Thats just an advantage. So what about hypogonadal men, in whom deficient testosterone makes lean gains outright impossible? Should they passively accept their condition and lift in vain? Why should they even lift?
Is therapy for hypogonadism a "shortcut"? It's not... but who decides which level of testosterone is "legitimate" for HRT? There's no objective level here, it's all human judgement. A philosopher could argue that "hypogonadism" is relative, everyone is born with testosterone deficit, as there's no such thing as "too strong".
Colton Cox
try harder
Jason Phillips
U one of those fuckers who read a sentence and then stop.
Please reread everything and reconsider your response and you will find I have answered your concerns already. Just fucking try harder and don't eat like a you're a dustbin.
Benjamin Richardson
I never said a medical condition shouldn't be treated so you're not sick from having messed up hormones.
Is this you though or are you a lazy faggot with love handles?
Ayden Hughes
My shangri-la has gone away, Faded like the Beatles on Hey Jude...
Jordan Johnson
Except hypogonadism is objectively a disease and causes other malfunctions that aren't just not being strong/being able to lift more. The levels that are below the average threshold are those that should be treated, statistical normality of the reference class is used to determine whether something is dysfunctional or not.
Joseph Adams
>WTF how did I not notice "They don't call me Fat Retard for nothing."
Sebastian Ward
Touche. Put it on for the top sets of normal deads, getting a bit too much without it.
If you let people decide which testosterone level is "a medical condition" based on their liking, your argument against anabolic steroids becomes circular logic. Who is to say that normal testosterone level isn't "a medical condition"? Do you equate normality with health? Dying is normal too.
>hypogonadism is objectively a disease By this logic, almost all women are ill because they have testosterone levels that objectively impair their capacity for male sexual function (speaking objectively, i.e. without gender prejudice).
>Statistical normality of the reference class is used to determine whether something is dysfunctional or not. People still falling for this fallacy... in 2017... This is why we can't into space 50 years after the Apollo programme.
Your "normality" is malleable depending on the reference class of choice. Abnormal becomes normal depending on the whim of the authority. According to your logic, Superman is ill because he is statistical outlier, and dying is healthy because it's statistically normal. Your norms speak more about you and your dogmas than about reality.
Isaiah Richardson
>Women's test levels are impaired because they're not the same as the average man That's not how that works, at all. If you aren't baiting, both sexes have their own average testosterone levels. That point was genuinely something so stupid I don't think I could match it in its stupidity.
>Superman is ill because he is a statistical outlier No, the key point is that normal functioning is impaired, which I did admittedly not make very clear in the previous post. If someone was super fit or has excellent cardiovascular ability, it doesn't make them necessarily ill because this isn't impairing their function.
Juan Bell
Sounds like some existentialist bullshit justification for taking steroids desu.
Why don't you stop getting all philosophical to try and justify it to strangers and stand by your short cut and fuck what we think?
Elijah Hernandez
Talk to me about training, plg. What are your current gaols (long- and short-term)? What are you doing to reach them?

Isaac Bell
If you can't even cut on a maintenance while on ROIDS you're literally a genetic failure lmao 0/10 would not let spot.
Health profession is holding back human development. If you want an example of a stupid doctor, only look at Ben Carson. I can't believe how stupid doctors are.
>baiting It's called having an open mind. I know it's alien to Veeky Forums.
>both sexes have their own average testosterone levels If dividing people into arbitrary population clusters that match your prejudice is acceptable, then I'm free to say that I have my own singular testosterone level which shouldn't be compared to other men. Or, please, put me in the same cluster as HYPERGONADAL men where my present testosterone level is statistically subnormal. Why do you want me to aim low? You're just trying to cuck me (and yourself).
What if I demonstrate that your strength is statistically abnormal? (Which likely is.) Will you cut your strength to fit the norm?
Mason Martin

Elijah Hill
>Stupid doctors I never said doctors weren't stupid. Just because someone got through med school, it doesn't make them intelligent, although just because someone is stupid, it doesn't necessarily make them a bad doctor.
>Dividing people into groups of 1 or groups of solely dysfunctional people Literally not how that grouping works, at all. Randomly selected populations of people tend towards a normal distribution once the population reaches 30 (or higher) and there are all sorts of statistical tests and protocols to attempt to ensure such ridiculous groupings don't exist, or at the least, are caught. You're either strawmanning and don't realize, or you're baiting me hard as fuck, which I must admit has been very successful.
>Will you cut your strength Like I said, if it doesn't cause dysfunction despite not being the norm, I.e. heart rate is lower than average, someone is faster than someone else, then that person is healthy. And with that last part, I'm almost 100% certain that you've been baiting this whole time.
