    Critique my Cut Plan

    Not exactly sure for timeframe, I want it fairly fast but also don't want to lose strength.. When I punch those numbers into MyFitnessPal diet tracker, it tells me I'll lose 1kg a week. But I guess only trial and error will tell for sure.. So 1kg per week, 10 weeks I would lose 10 kg...

    Grip weakest link in deadlift

    If my 1 rep max is 155, how is 120 too light to stimulate growth? I had heard growth was stimulated by training volume at the 80% 1rm range. Maybe you were assuming my max would be alot more not sure? Not sure why form would fail on this compared to going heavier and only getting 3 reps? I...

    Struggling with conventional deadlifts and thinking of switching to sumo. NEED ADVICE

    If your back is taking the weight maybe you pulling with back instead of pushing with hams/glutes? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQ5rY_beDLY

    Grip weakest link in deadlift

    Actually just got back from a Deadlift session. You could be right, this time my grip didn't give first, my body got fatigued first and I could tell I wouldn't make more reps. Also this time I remembered to chalk up. Tried straps on the last set but it didn't help. I reckon I was just...

    preworkout

    Tried pre workout ritual, it gave me heart palpitations after the workout. Also didn't like that I couldn't understand what half the ingredients were.. Now I just take a No-Doz caffeine pill, along with creatine and beta-alanine. Plus magnesium to stop the DOMs from previous workout.

    Squeeming

    It's going to feel strange when the enlarged intestines get pushed down into the ball-sack.. Or maybe that's a good look if there's some testicular atrophy :cool: I don't understand why they all need so much HGH, can't they get by with the regular sets of testosterone and other gear that won't...

    For optimal muscle gains, do this…

    Already hitting macros and > 30g per meal. But in this hobby a little bit of OCD doesn't hurt as well :p

    For optimal muscle gains, do this…

    Hi Fadi - I'm not saying this at all. I should have been more clear but I'm specifically asking about a single meal and it's composition. i.e. when surpassing the leucine threshold, is it better to have glucose energy with that meal or can it be any kind of calorie. I've been told by others that...

    For optimal muscle gains, do this…

    Thanks, that affirms what I'm doing (currently 50% of diet from Protein). Fat mostly comes from egg yolks, extra lean beef and chicken breast, and a bit of coconut oil to cook with. However I had read elsewhere, that the energy source preferred for building muscle from protein is the energy...

    Grip weakest link in deadlift

    Hi All, My trainer has me currently doing high-volume to bring up my work capacity and to burn off the fat. However with deadlifts my forearms and grip is running out of steam halfway through the sets. I know I have other options but: 1. I don't like alternating grip due to some imbalances, a...

    For optimal muscle gains, do this…

    How many gram of protein required to breakdown into 3g Leucine? Any meat with > 30g protein will do? Also carbs/fat with the protein - is it true we need an energy source to put the protein to use in building/repairing? Or can it take the energy from the body's stores?
