I am completely stuck. Below is my routine. Yes I am in a surplus (i am consistently gaining weight every week). Yes I'm getting my protein (180g a day, im 180lbs, yes I measure everything, every day.) Yes I am going hard, I NEVER have more than 1 in the tank, I go failure or 1rir on every single lift in every single set. Failure as in people have to rush to get the bar off me, an extremely normal occurrence I am used to.All lifts are in the 4-8 rep range, occasionally ill do up to 10 reps. All lifts I do 3 sets. It's 5 days a week, upper lower. All upper day are the same, then there a squat day and a deadlift day.UpperBench OHPBarbell rowSkullcrushersStraight bar curlsLowerSquat/DeadliftCalf raise Cable crunchThe first day of the week when I'm fresh is ALWAYS my strongest and I get weaker on the exact same lifts through the week, fully failing 1 rep sooner. Then I get it back the next week.
>>538591905So do you slow cook them in the crockpot for pulled/distended pork rectums?
Ask /fit/
>>538591905This isn't political and there's a board for this. Maybe it's all those dicks you're sucking that sap your energy
>>538591905Nigga just do burpees and run a couple miles. I was half jacked when I was in the military and all we did was calisthenics and run I rarely touched weights.
>>538591905Gravity will always win.
>>538592021Pork "buttons". Yummy. The tongue and the heart are probably higher in protein. Just have to skin them and beat the fuck out of them with a meat hammer like making schnitzel. Soft as butter.
>>538591905Oh oops, I forgot leg press.
>>538592021>>538592093>>538592122>>538592156>>538592238OH FUCK WRONG BOARD LMAO
>>538592239>beat the fuck out of them>Not saying pound
>>538591905>bonelessnot when i’m done with them…
>>538591905Youre an idiotYou'll be me in 20 yearsHurting just from sleepingBut keep improving OooohhOooohhhhh I'm going to improve!!!
>>538594225Im not trying to looksmax I'm into a sport as a hobby. This is my version of nintendo/marvel/anime autism.What happened to you?
>>538591905have you tried fucking somebody in the arse? that usually fixes /fit/ problems.
>>538591905>stuck I wasted my 20s "bodybuilding" and forcing myself to eat more calories than I wanted. Felt like shit.The kicker? You can be following routines for years and making gains, and just a few months without working out and you'll be a DYEL.I really wish I had focused on getting a better job, making more money, and growing into the man I'm supposed to be.Life keeps getting harder, and every day you're getting older, and the day will come when all your lifting adds nothing to your life, and it was all for naught. Stack cheddar, fellas.
>>538591905Recovery, anon.Stop looking at working out as a 7-day schedule.Your muscles need time to recover.You should be going into every workout session properly fueled and ready to lift a dinosaur.Your muscles don't care if you lift hard 5 days straight. tldr: sounds like you're doing too much. Do less, keep intensity high. Above all, give your body time to recover. Recovery depends on the person; you need to know what that is for YOU.P.S. Recovery, ya dum dum!
Try going carnivore or ketovore. Eat fatty meat, or at least cook in/add butter/lard/tallow some type of fat to your meat so the total fat you eat in a day makes up 60 - 80% of your daily calories. Get enough electrolytes (you need much more when both on keto and heavy training at the same time). First week your body will adjust and might temporarily be weaker until keto flu passes. Once adjusted, you will probably surprise yourself with your endurance and gains. Also sardines highly recommended if you're ok with fish. Also ask /fit/ next time
>>538591905You are not resting enough.Working hard is not necessarily working smart.High intensity, low volume, plenty of rest.
>>538591905How many days you lifting
>>538591905>>538596756This guy gets it.
>>538596756Based and MentzerPilled
>>538595782>Life keeps getting harder, and every day you're getting older, and the day will come when all your lifting adds nothing to your life, and it was all for naught.Isometrics.They are boring, but they work wonderfully.Also, they improve tendons and neuro-muscular function.>>538596476>P.S. Recovery, ya dum dum!Old age will teach many lessons...if you survive them.>>538596928It's a pity he didn't take his philosophy further.He focused it too much on workouts and not on life itself.He burned himself out dealing with life.One lesson I learned, the hard way, is that God means for us to take a day off a week. PERIOD.I started it due to psychological overload. Life fell apart and no matter what I did, I couldn't fix it, so I worried seven days a week.I finally decided to just NOT worry about it. However bad it was Saturday night, it was just going to be there Monday morning. I just let it go for a day.That's when I started healing.
>>538597111Well said.Funny how the more one's life starts to align with the way God intended, things seem to just work themselves out.Almost like He knows what He's talking about.
>>538597607>Almost like He knows what He's talking about.Who knew, right?!
>>538591905>All lifts are in the 4-8 rep range, occasionally ill do up to 10 reps. All lifts I do 3 sets. It's 5 days a week,1) try taking a week off and sleeping more afterwards.2) invert your routine for a few weeks. Instead of high weight, low rep, low sets.... do the opposite.
>>538598244>Instead of high weight, low rep, low sets.... do the opposite.No u gaybo
>>538591905looks like someone's making "calamari" for the potluck
>>538592021I thought we were supposed to provide our own bone and have fun.
>>538599053That's why I can't go back to the Baptist church in my town
>>538591905wrong board
>>538592682Tongue and heart are pretty dense. Gotta get violent with the tough cuts.
>>538594640Get into MMA instead. Youll look better and be stronger. Watch Larry Wheels wrassle that 60kg guy and get tapped out in 15 seconds. You wanna lift bars youll get good at lifting bars but youll never be "strong".
>>538591905no volumeswitch to 6 day PPL if you want gains
>>538600521Are you retarded
>>538591905Do your same routine but take every third day off and rest for a couple months
>>538591905bulking is a matter of rip and recoverthe fact you put your lack of recovery front and center....you know what it is you're being retarded aboutso what is this a fucking humil fetish?you know damn well what needs to change
>>538592318You're overtraining. You need to rest more.Just do the Texas Method. It's not perfectly optimal but it does work well enough, so it's retard (you) proof.
>>538591905Total s-laughter total s-laughter I won't leave a single man alive. La de da tea die genocide an ocean of blood let's begin the killing time
Arthur was a legendary hitman who succeeded by following a strict, clockwork schedule. He never improvised. He never lingered. Every hit was perfectly timed to the second.His latest target was a reclusive tech billionaire nicknamed "Noodle Noggin"—a chaotic genius known for having a brain that twisted into bizarre, unpredictable thoughts. Arthur easily bypassed the mansion's high-tech security and slipped into the study.Noodle Noggin sat at his desk, staring blankly at a strange, glowing digital countdown clock. He didn't even look up when Arthur stepped into the light, silencer raised."You're exactly on time," Noodle Noggin muttered, tapping his forehead. "My noggin calculated it. But you're too late.""I am never late," Arthur whispered cold-bloodedly. "It is exactly 10:00 PM. Your time is up.""Is it?" Noodle Noggin smiled, pointing a remote control at the countdown clock on his desk. "I just spent three billion dollars inventing a local electromagnetic pulse. I call it the Chrono-Brake. It doesn't stop the world, Arthur. It just severely retards, slows down, and delays digital signals and cognitive reactions in a fifty-foot radius."Noodle Noggin pressed the button.Arthur pulled the trigger.
Nothing happened. Or rather, it happened painfully slow. The firing pin clicked in slow motion. The spark ignited like a stretching rubber band. Arthur tried to step forward, but his limbs felt like they were moving through heavy, frozen molasses. His sharp, professional mind suddenly felt sluggish, trapped in mental quicksand. He was literally killing time, waiting for his own hands to obey him."See?" Noodle Noggin said, his voice deep, distorted, and stretched out like an old vinyl record playing at the wrong speed. "While you are stuck in slow motion, my messy brain thrives on delay."Noodle Noggin casually stood up. Because his thoughts were already non-linear and chaotic, the slow-motion field barely bothered his eccentric movement. He walked around the frozen hitman, gently tapped the barrel of Arthur’s gun, and pointed it safely toward the ceiling."Thanks for dropping by," Noodle Noggin droned heavily. "It takes a lot of time to test a prototype."Noodle Noggin walked out of the room, leaving the legendary assassin completely trapped in a single, endless second.
The slow-motion field snapped off with a sharp acoustic pop. Time slammed back into its regular rhythm. Arthur fell straight to his knees, his muscles twitching violently from the sudden rush of normal adrenaline. His gun was gone, swept away by Noodle Noggin during the delay.Gasping for breath on the Persian rug, the legendary assassin threw his head back. Desperate, humiliated, and utterly broken by a force he couldn't comprehend, he screamed at the empty doorway:"Vash the Stampede! The Walking Human Typhoon!
>>538602020>You're overtraining. You need to rest more.Yes, this.
>>538591905Bro thinks he is a professional bodybuilder. Just do calisthenics or just do Squat Bench Deadlift Program and fucking take some REST.this aint rocket science you fucking nigger.
>>538596756>>538596878>>538596928>>538597111>>538600521Would going to failure on my sets increase gains? Since I don't always have access to heavy weights, I wanted to try if always going to near failure or total failure, regardless of weight*, would make a difference. I can't afford to wait until heavy weights are accessible for me to use them.*Of course heavy weights always better and quicker results, but I wonder if going to failure in all situations would maximize my gains outcomes. I need fitness experts to tell me if this is worth trying before I put my limited energy into it.
>>538591905I only eat the finest bone-in pork rectumsget this goyslop out of my sight
>>538591905Nice pasta 6/10.
