QTDDTOT

I'll answer what I can, but here are my questions

1. I'm eating a 1000kcal under TDEE, 180g protein a day. I've lost 12 pounds in a month and maintained slow progressive overload on my lifts. Just used skin calipers to measure bodyfat and I went from 23% to 22%. How the FUCK is that possible. I thought I'd be like 18% by now. Am I breaking thermodynamics?! im 6'0 and 174lb

2. I've been doing ICF 5x5 by Blaha and people talk a lot of shit about it. Should I switch to lvysaur 4 4 8? I'm only lifting 1/2/3.

3. I wore lifts in my boots at the club on Saturday. Girls were WAY more into me. I only added an inch as well. And its not placebo. You guys should try it. None of my friends noticed. Im going to do 2 inches next time.

What happens when you trick a girl into sex? You going to leave your shoes on?

> "trick"
Why dont you ask this same question to a girl wearing high heels or make up

Also they never notice

Question is basically listed ITT: Specific about grouping two muscle groups together a day for a three or four day rotation

>1000kcal under TDEE, 180g protein
What's your TDEE? How are you getting that much protein? I'm having trouble with my 400kcal under, 189g protein diet.

Hey lads uh

how do plates work? Sorry but noob here and want to know.

So 60kg is 1 plate. What is two plate? 100kg? That's so much fucking weight. I literally can't deadlift that right now, and the 1/2/3/4 goal has me BENCHING that much? Jesus christ.

Get stronger, faggot

example of what I eat

About to cook 30 litres of curry in bulk tomorrow. will post screenshots

My TDEE is 2500 and I eat 1500.

looking into using pea protein in curries as its cheaper than chicken.

How the fuck literally.

So my squat right now is 67.5kg with bar.

You're telling me it has to go to 140kg for me to even be considered amateur weightlifter? Literally wat. Nobody at my gym ever gets anywhere near that much weight even deadlifting.

Is everyone on this fucking board e statting and lying? I think so tbqh

So whatcha drinkin opie?

3 plate squat is more than amateur I'd say. 1/2/3/4 is a goal to aspire to, not so much a minimum to enter some imaginary e-peen club.

1 plate × 5 on bench is what I'd set your goal to for when you consider yourself "an amateur lifter"

My favorite "mad wolf"-thing is this one.

Can someone give me an exact workout plan that isn't a meme to gain weight? I'm a skinnyfriend

Whats the best 5 days routine ???

What's the best pre-packaged food for the money? I already make all my meals but I need something more that doesn't require any work and isn't too costly.

I did SL 5x5 starting out and it was decent except you need some extra arm stuff. Add some tricep extensions and curl variants and it'd be a pretty good routine.

Can I add push ups and pull ups instead

How long have you been doing ICF?

Here's my thoughts on it
>1. Blaha is not a reliable person in general.
>2. All he did was add bodybuilder type arm and shoulder work to SL5x5 without any consideration to the amount of volume. He should've lowered the sets on the main lifts.
>3. The programming is shit. Take the B-day for example: you have to squat, press, deadlift, and then row on top of it. Then do chinups. Your mid/lower traps are going to be shot and there's a great chance for injury when supporting muscles are getting hit so much.

Egg white or pea protein?

I can do that. Thanks for understanding, for a newb I see people on Veeky Forums and think wtf, that can't be true without roiding.

My main problem atm is my muscles are a bit out of balance I think.

My stats

OHP 50kg
Bench 65kg
Squat 67.5kg
Diddle 110kg

As you can see my squat is a bit shite no? Should I just progress linearly until I get 1234? Maintaining on the ones I get first?

when i do deadlifts from ss

i do like ten warmup lifts with just the bar
then i put 10 kg on each side (22 american kg)

then i lift it up and put it down five times

then i do dips and go home.

is this the right way to do ss because just one set of five feels fucking weird, but i am a skeleton so maybe it'll make more sense once i reach heavier lifts?

Are puffy nipples forever?

When someone asks you how much you lift, do you say the total weight including the bar or do you just say the plates or what the fuck?

Ok so basically I was out of town 3 weeks ago then came back was able to progress on everything(225lbs->230lbs) without touching a Barbell in 8 or so days. Then I got a stomach bug/flu and took this past week off and today was my first day back and only got rekt where I could only do 2x2 of 230lbs

Am I stupid for expecting to progress even though not being consistent? I'm sure I'll hit it next week though

Feeling pain in my tailbone after squatting, any ideas what might be off with my form?

This is for squats btw

>OHP 50kg
>Bench 65kg
>Squat 67.5kg
>Diddle 110kg

whoa qboa wtffffff
tfw your squat and OHP are both 1pl8

saying the plates does include the bar.

but yeah, you say the total amount including the bar

Yeah idk senpai. I'm just top dominant, my gains are way easier in my upper body for some reason.

Doesn't really matter which. Take whichever is cheaper.

Thanks

If I'm at the top end of a healthy BMI should I bother cutting or can I just maintain it and count it as bulk?
