Do these macro's seem about right for someone my size? I got them from scooby's calorie calculator

Calories: 2561
Protein: 123g
Carbs: 375g
Fat: 60g

I'm 5' 7 and 63kg and I selected the "build muscle lose fat" option

Also for some reason there's no sugar count in his calculator and the book he recommended (Anabolic Cooking) doesn't include any sugar info either. Is sugar not counted when doing your macro's?

Your body can produce its own glucose (sugar), it is not necessary for consumption and you should in fact avoid it like the plague

Minus fruit, which yes has sugar but its complex sugars and not simple ones, plus you're eating fruit for other nutrients not the calories.

22 and finding grey/white strands in my hair, pull about 8 or so every couple weeks.

Am I going white and what should I do? dye or just live with it

Sugar is a carb
Sugar is the worst carb

Allright, thank you for that. What about my macros, do they seem about right?

Do assisted chinups actually work your back? I feel them entirely in my biceps.

macros seem about right
enough protein and fat for everything to function
seem a bit high unless you are going to do heavy exercise. also aim for a range not a specific calorie macro goal x protein minimum x fat minimum x calories minimum x calories max that will make things a lot easier

where to get the cheapest protein? Ausfag

any downsides to push ups and sit ups every day?

I'm using preworkout for the first time and it feels like my head is full of bees. Normal?

as long as you aren't pushing yourself to failure everyday or have a poverty bench they won't bother you

Can someone start a routine rate thread? I dont have the necessary experience so it would probably die very easily if I started it, but I think it would be very useful.

>poverty bench

????

Is it Pronounced "Kehto" or "Keeto" when saying keto. I say it like the fist but pronounce ketosis "Keetosis"

what is fit's stance on candido linear programme strength/hypertrophy instead of SS/Greyskull etc.? Have to say that I am not a total beginner but lifted for a couple months last year, so that technique is basically okay.

So ive been hitting the gym for about 3 months now and while ive lost 14 pounds and put slightly more muscle on, i still look skinny fat. Im 5'8 and weigh 140 pounds so should i keep cutting? Why am i still skinny fat?

really low bench press weight,

is russel orrhi natty

like, for example, 100 lbs?

Should I eat any differently if im sick?

Keep lifting. Measure your bodyfat%
You can keep cutting if you want but maybe you should switch to eating maintenance and lift harder.

yes but then again if your bench is that pathetic but you can do pushups you may as well do them instead

all other exercises are increasing but my bench is awful...

What's the point of staying natty? I see absolutely no reason why anyone thst isn't a teenager would stay natty other than arbitrarily defining it as cheating.

how tall are you and how wide is your grip?

legal ramifications and cost

5'11"

my ring fingers line up with the lines in-between the grip areas

>legal ramifications

LMAO

if I'm to understand the steron threads, the gains disappear pretty quickly after you stop

lets say today I might have slipped up and over ate a bit (6000 calories in 1 hour), would fasting tomorrow results in 3000 calories for each day? does calories in/out work like this?

You dumb fucker you should put more muscle on, you have NOTHING to cut to you shitbrained assparasite infested cunt of a putrid salmon fetishist.

there is a theoretical limit to how many calories your body can absorb in that short of a time (I think, look up intermittent fasting), so if you just eat at your regular deficit and call today a cheat day you'll probably be fine.

That's some serious fucking slipping though.

If I walk the same 3.5 miles everyday will the number of calories I burn while doing it change as I get used to it?

If you had to sink at least three days into cardio due to overall health problems, how would you manage the rest of your workouts?

I've been lifting six days/week for a while, but I've found I'm really not physically capable of busting my ass running the same day as lifting.

It's a lot of work to do 6 days a week and regular cardio. If you're physical health isn't great I wouldn't recommend it.

There are very long term effects from roiding when it comes to your natural testosterone production, look into it.

>Test levels get all fucky
>Have to roid for life
>Looks unnatural to most people and faggoty

I don't know, your moral compass is different than mine, but those are the main ones.

try going a little narrower, it might help you stay tight. I bench pinkies on the rings and i am 6'2

Can I get some help? I'm trying to set down a routine since I've ended my linear progression, but I don't know how many reps and sets should I use. It should be an ULxULxx focused on gaining volume for aesthethics purposes:

U1:
Bench
Dips
Chinups
Low pulley row
Lateral raises
Curls

U2:
Inclined bench
Dumbbel pec flyers
Pullups
BB Rows
OHP
Front raises

L1:
Low bar squats
Leg press
DB Lunges
Calf raises
???

L2:
Deadlifts
High bar Squats
Farmer's walks
???

The order is not that as it would depend on sets and reps. I don't even know if this makes sense. If you had a little time I'd be glad if you could help me. Thanks.

Backing this bloke up Im 6'2 with ape arms and I bench with about a finger away from ring.

Thanks that's what I figured.

Just six that I've been managing six weeks lifting without an issue. I've been in the "cardio is unnecessary" meme for too long and it's really catching up with me. 30 minutes interval jogging is so much harder to recover from.

you been drinking pints of ice cream user? Sounds like you've got some food related issues you need to look at.

And yes it would IN THEORY.

I would recommend looking at your calorie deficit on a week by week basis as body composition changes aren't a short-term thing.

EG if your maintenance is 3,000kcal and youre losing 1lb a week (3,500kcal deficit/week - 500/day):

Target/day = 2500kcal
Target/week = 2500 * 7 = 17,500kcal per week

If you were to consume 6,000kcal in 1 day, if you eat 11,500kcals over the next 6 days (1916kcal per day); you should still lose 1lb over that 7 day period.


Hope this helps; but seriously just don't binge like that; not good for you man.

Is it bad if I can hear my clavicle crack every time I lift something moderately heavy?

I can hear it crack everytime i lift my arm user. See your doc if ur concerned but I wouldnt mind it too much

Going to start doing Madcows 5x5, and I'm worried about lack of shoulder and bicep work. I'm thinking about adding a little bit of accessory work, primarily Dips and Chin ups, is this okay? Probably doing Chin Ups Twice a week and Dips once.

How can I get bigger legs fast?
I have tiny chicken legs and I want them to be less embarassingly chickeny
pls help lads

Program in pic or /fit's/ GSLP for aesthetics and strength

I'm doing the couch to 5k thing. When I'm running I get these vomit-smelling burps and wonder if I'm close to getting sick. I just want to know what is going on here and if vomiting is a common occurrence when running.

I also get headaches fairly frequently after running. I drink plenty of water and eat OK so I think that's not the source of the problem.

70% of what? you're a beginner aren't you?

Have always struggled with building up my bench on stronglifts 5x5.
My next target weight is 70 kg, but to get past 67.5 kg I had to wait atleast 3 mins between each set to have the strength to hit all 25 reps.
I'd like some advice on whether I should go lower and work on building a stronger foundation and thus lower the rest time I need, or try to keep going even with rest times that long?

I also randomly suffered a hip injury just before christmas making squatting unbearable, thought it would pass with christmas break relaxing but even trying bodyweight squats I still get this pinching in my right physio says it's most likely an impingement and to avoid squats for a while if possible. Anyone ever successfully recover from this?

Madcow 5x5 is an awful, AWFUL program. Do literally any other intermediate program. Madcow simply has way too little volume. You definitely won't see any muscle gain and very little strength gain.

Do GZCL LP, 2suns 531 LP or Sheiko intermediate medium load for much better gains.

Already decided to do it, thanks anyways. So, dips and chin ups for accessory work?

Not a specialist at all. But considering what I read, I'd go for 3 or 4 sets of 8 to 10 reps. Maybe rather 3x5 for deadlifts.
For the Pullups, maybe go over 10 if you're using only bodyweight.
For the weights, try to choose one your comfortable with doing 8ish+ reps with perfect form, and increase by about 5lbs when you can do 10+ reps.

Jus an opinion though. Don't take it with absolute authority.

Are there any videos of motivational speeches but instead of a muscly dude there is a cute girl cheering on me?

What's the verdict on German volume training? I don't understand how it's done, is it just 10sets of 10 per exercise for one body part every 5 days?

Can confirm, I got "near vomit" sensations too when I started running. After a while, I stop getting them.

Can't help with headaches.

I've been going for regular runs in the morning and evening for about 2 weeks now, same route each time. It's about 1.5km. How do I not feel like death every time I run it?

t-nation.com/workouts/advanced-german-volume-training

Every time i work tricep isolations into my routine i start getting elbow issues. Has anyone built good triceps from regular bench and shoulder press alone?

How can I improve my dick muscles to increase the escape velocity of my ejaculate?

Might sound stupid, bur run more. Or try rope jumping as an alternative, increasing the time you do it to build up your resistance.
I used to be only able to run 20 minutes. I tried to go past that to force myself harder, progressively. Now I can run 13Km...

I've shaved my pubes for the first time and noticed that a lot of fat seems to be around my dick even though I'm a few BF% from having a visible 6 pack, do other guys have this or is my diet in need of change?

I have flat feet, will squat fuck up my legs? And i cant feel my chest when working out even though im rotating scapula

edging

Functional or structucal flat feet?
(if you don't know the difference, look it up)

Are puffy cheeks just fat that can be cut away or are they genetically just fucking big in some cases? Assuming you drink loads of water and everything

I would say functional, my feet is arching when im lying down or sitting

Every fat can be cut away. Think back a Auschwitz prisoners... Now there can be a genetical predisposition to store fat at a certain place (thibk boobs. Size is mostly genetics under "normal circumstances). But if you cut enough, your cheeks should eventually fade away.

you're retarded.

roiding to get to the natty limit and you will keep everything. roid past it and you'll slowly taper off the extra muscle.

luckily for you the natty limit is far far far away.

> think back a Auschwitz prisoners
Waiting for it...

I'll wait for more opinions but thanks a lot for the contribute based user. You're still more experienced than me.

When people talk about the reps on curls do they mean total or the amount for each arm?

I'm sorry that I'm retarded.

Then try foot strengthening exercises.
It's hard to keep a good arch when squatting deep, so you can avoid going deep or use weightlifting shoes.

Hip abduction strength is also important, because that will help prevent your knees from caving (which flat feet tend to do).

Insoles might or might not be a good idea. I'd say try without first, and if it doesn't work, get some good (custom) insoles.

Personally, I have functional flat feet, and I don't use insoles.
It's not easy for me to avoid getting knee issues, but if I pay attention I can squat without much issue.

Most likely per arm. If you see 3x8, it would be 3 sets of 8 reps per arm, so 6 sets total.

if you get heavier, you burn more calories
is you get lighter, you burn less
stay the same you burn the same

you might "get used to it" in the sense that over time it won't be as exhausting to you, but that doesn't change the calories burned *that much*

high reps on all the leg exercises you can do.
I'm talking 3x15 squats, son
Make sure to do as much weight as you can without failing three sets.

Don't worry too much about the rest time, just lift that weight.

Anime

What isolations are you doing? Bench, ohp and weighted dips are all I need.

kegels, sets of 25 reps every other day.
drink lots of water and eat enough red meat from time to time.

Of what I did the other day e.g. if I benched 100kg on Monday I would bench 70kg on Thursday

Keep losing weight, fat tends to stay longer around the waist+hips

What exactly is preworkout meant to do?
Will it help offset not eating enough carbs/being hydrated? Or is it just tingly feelings?

Are there any Veeky Forums approved websites or cookbooks for easy recipes? Preferably with macros and accurate measurements of ingredients.

If I accidentally undershoot my goal of 2000cals by nearly 1000, should I still lift? or wait until the next day and make sure I eat enough?

the sticky says that cardio won't work in a fasted state but what is the time frame after you eat to not be in a fasted state?

DB flys or Machine flys as an accessory?

Calories is the amount of energy you expended to perform labour. You may get slightly more efficient as you become more fit, but for instance your weight is gonna be a much bigger factor. Since when you move, you're displacing your weight which requires calories. if you lose weight, you have to move less so you use less calories. Makes sense?

you're a car and your calories are your gas. Your bodyweight is your cargo and your fitness is an engine, except you're never gonna run an electrical car or whatever.

I ate 4000 kcal for 5 or 6 days. I eat around 1600kcal to maintain. How much fat did I gain? How long will it take to lose it? I lost 66lbs before this.

>I ate 4000 kcal for 5 or 6 days. I eat around 1600kcal to maintain.
why?

What are some good oblique exercises you guys do. Also, what are some good hamstring exercises? Thanks

Out of my old routine, lots of nutella and pizza at my mom and dads house, ate a lot for two weeks, past week has been worse

SIDE PLANK

Why would you care? You won't do it anyways. Just get a gym membership and go ham

Honestly, I would do one or the other on my chest days, alternating.

>past week has been worse
then stop
go to the store and get some real food

Been lifting for 4-ish months now. Just started monitoring what I eat, should I try to eat a maintaining diet or should I start cutting/bulking?

Would you recommend as im in the side plank position to thrust my hip upwards to contract the floor-facing oblique or nah?
