It's sad how eye opening this was for so many. Have so much to go when it comes to nutrition.

I think I have an even smaller scale here. I can make 39g look utterly mountainous!

Age: 21
Height: 6ft2
Weight: 176 pounds
Goal: Lean with Abs
Current Training Schedule: Mainly just cardio: running, football (soccer in US) and tennis
Current Training Equipment Available:
Two 10KG dumbells that are my brothers, no gym until Uni in late September. Have some Protein Powder in the house too
What is the best way I can go? I'm thinking maybe alternating between HIIT and exercises such as press-ups, but what do I know... There's simply too much BS out there on the internet, could do with some friendly pointers in the right direction.
Thanks
Hey man, we love to help but it will be pretty difficult to with just 10kg DBs at your disposal. When you get to school let us know and we'll whip your ass into shape. Otherwise, keep it up with pushups, pull ups, weightless squats, hiit, sprints, etc. Also, if you have a couple of bucks laying around, invest in a resistance band. Lastly, if there is a playground or park near you, you can do damage there.

Yeah, I realise they are pretty negligible weights but thought I'd mention them anyway as they are lying around in the house. I'll look into a resistance band, thanks!

Argh might need to narrow my low bar grip for squats or something. Weights been getting heavier and I think a wide grip is making me lose upper back tightness and forcing the weight onto my arms causing elbow pain in my left arm.
Need to experiment next training session.

Great to hear from you and see that you're doing well. Good luck on wrapping up the PhD!
You weigh 156 man. That is legit strong. A 2x bw bench is no joke and you are SO close. Go get it!
Just did my first sets of Face Pulls, Glute Ham Raises, Side Lateral raises and leg lifts for an accessories day.
I figure my whole body doesn't need two days off between compound days every week.
However, is there reason to do face pulls the day after heavy rows? I'd move it to the end of another day if that makes more sense.

I'm gonna check out what Costco has next time I'm there.
Thats in one red bull? Plenty o' sugar!
That's what I drink sugar free. Now my wife is on it too! I'm switching between that and black coffee before working out.

I love sugar. Couple scoops of Gatorade intra, a few servings of breakfast cereal or pop tarts for post.

I do the Gatorade during squat and deadlift day. No more poptart. More like fruit post workout
But I was doing poptarts originally.
One 8.4oz Yellow Red Bull post workout is magical! No bias here whatsoever. None.

You pop a scoop of protein in the Gatorade? I've been doing bcaas because I haven't found a decent deal on unflavored whey
yeah i saw that. i hadn't hheard anything until today. she honestly looks like a male bodybuilder body with a female face lol. but good for her.
yo i love red bull. and monster. and all energy drinks. but i mostly do a shot of espresso beforehand and that's it nowadays.

symmetry problem
so my upper inner chest is more develop than the other side which exercise should I do to target that? I'm also guessing it should be lighter weight and higher rep?

295x3 is insanely impressive for front squats.

Thanks, but more so in your opinion than 345x1?
And today FS felt better than it has in a long time. Gonna hit 405 again soon I think.
Probably not, but there's something about having to do 300 lbs 3 times with the bar awkwardly resting on your chest that takes both muscular and mental fortitude...if that makes any sense
Any of you traveling a lot? What do you do with your workout? I tried to bring some resistance bands (bodylastics) with me. Problem is that it really depends on the Hotel room whether you can attach them in a suitable place or not.
I travel a lot for work. When I do, I try to go to the fitness room and make do no matter what (many hotels I stay at have 50 lbs DBs, some machines, a smith machine and a pull up bar) so I can get by to an extent). I hit volume instead of weight and treat it as a deload of sorts.
Problem is that the hotels I stay at usually don't have one, and if they have, they usually just have cardio machines and some shitty multi-exercise stations. Fitness rooms are not as common here in Europe, unless the hotel is a wellness/recreation hotel at the end of the world.
Then definitely bring a resistance tube and do a bodyweight circuit plus resistance work. It's not a replacement for heavy lifting but it's easily better than nothing.
Anything comparable to planet fitness by you? $20 a month and you can use thousands of them around the country. Nice to have a membership for when you're in a pinch as a secondary gym.

my chest game is so bad. i gotta step it up

Somebody said I looked "hella buff" today. Don't think I'm anywhere near that but I guess there's a big difference between how I look now and how I looked 4 months ago. Still made me feel good though, so it looks like what I'm doing is working. That is all
ooh i took orgo, i know what this is
Oh please PM the list to me!
I need to say that 1000 cals sounds pretty damn low for a day especially several days in a row. It is good that they are monitoring you three times a week and make sure you stay healthy.
Hahaha, oh and I totally understand your goal readjusting. I would do the same if my little sister would be doing it as well.
I will PM you that list, once I get it scanned. I don't have a scanner at home so debating using the work scanner vs one at my parents.
Haha, 1000 will be my maintenance. I don't think I could ever go to 1500 without gaining. I couldn't even eat at 1200 without gaining. I'm okay with that though, it's all going to be protein, veggies and nuts/butter/olive or coconut oil, etc.
Looool, yep, gotta compete with my sister. 12 more pounds! It was my last day at the clinic now until I get the weight off. Can't pay for it anymore because my insurance is screwing me over. Oh well. I can do it without the vitamin shots. They said to add an extra protein. Which means Quest bar!

Quest bars can be iffy. Having one kicks me out of ketosis. Does for a lot of /r/keto also. But it also doesn't do it for a lot of others. It is completely YMMV.
It seems to be okay--the clinic always tells me I'm "burning really well" when they test me

Man, I do 1000-1200 maybe twice a week, and it's not easy. I can eat more than that in one meal (and often do). Thank goodness for one meal a day.
Hope it works out for you, it's definitely not easy to pull off consistently.

That really means nothing. Every body is different and will react differently to the quest bar due to the stuff inside of it. I'm just letting you know so if you run into issues, you'll know where to look. Hopefully you'll be fine.

Are six hours of sleep acceptable for post-workout recovery?, will it affect me much?

Got new melatonin from Costco that has really been working for me. Sleep has finally improved. It's designed to evaporate in your mouth without water. Up .2 this morning, nothing concerning. I've also noticed that as I get leaner, it's much easier to get back into ketosis if I stray a bit.
Edit - Scratch that, i took a quick nap and pee'd again, down to 228.4, so down .6.

Agreed, but yeah 345 is mighty impressive, considering that's more than 99% of humans can squat...on their backs.

Howdy fitgaf, inspired by the recent full body workout thread I have decided to get back into the gym. I just dont have the time for 5 day splits which is why I quit.
Anyway, I have never done full body so I need opinions on this program I found online
3 day a week, for 2 weeks do 3 sets of 12 reps then switch to 4 sets of 8 then 5 sets of 5.
4 compound exercises + 2 isolation exercise per workout so 6 exercises in total
Its the first workout on this sitehttp://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/wotw101.htm, can I plz get some opinions on this. It sounds awesome to me

ah. okay. i just checked pictures of bruce lee doing it. on youtube everyone was doing it all differently so i didn't really go with that.i'll try again today and see how it goes.
Eh, I'm a small lady, 1200 used to be what I normally did and sometimes I'd struggle to hit even that. And still gained weight lol. 1000 will be easier to hit, I should hopefully not gain at 1000, all good.
I'll keep it in mind, but I've been eating them for about a month now and seems okay. But yes, if anything slows down, they'll be the first to go
Thanks for the tip.Hey, I just read it quickly and it doesn't make that much sense to me (could be missing something since I just browsed):
Why are you doing 4X8, 5X5 and 3X12 in the same week, with different exercises?? Also, 5X5 deadlifts might kill you.
Most importantly, what's the progression scheme?
Thought the people of this sub might enjoy this video of a cyclist lifting and moving a car blocking a bike path: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luNGjffDjCs

Thanks for reply, yeah that doesnt make sense to me either which is why im going to do 3x12 for 2 weeks then 4x8 for 2 weeks then finally 5x5. Deadlifts will indeed kill me so im going to do them once a week.
I dont know what u mean by progression scheme
