What's your point?

2 plates for shoulder press is good and strong. Normies consider that really strong for bench press lol. My lanky ass has been working at it for years with a 175 max.

I'm not the Carrot guy, but i'm gonna chime in. Affliction/Tapout shirts, when they were popular, were laughed at by all us guys who actually trained. I've done some MMA and a lot of BJJ myself. And some wrestling. Why? It's fun. I enjoy it. And 99% of those guys I trained with were just...

Strength training and body building can be quite different, but there's a ton of overlap. You can find some really strong dudes that don't look very muscular. They're not doing enough time under tension to stimulate optimal hypertrophy. They'll still build muscle, though. On the other hand...

I did a lot of circuit training through that, too. I never really put on much of any strength. I was almost always weaker than my peers, even much smaller ones. Little 130lb scrawny dudes were about as strong as me at 220-230. I wasn't fat either. Just tall and lanky. I have a naturally lanky...

I haven't done the MMA/BJJ stuff since before I went on my alcoholic foodaholic 100lb weight gain mess that fucked up my whole entire life lol. I've since lost about 90 of those pounds and haven't drank in 6 years. I'll get back in to that some day, but as of now I'm thoroughly enjoying...

Well, I've been doing variations of Wendler's 5/3/1 program geared toward hypertrophy after the days 531 sets for about 18 months, with pretty decent success. But I think it's time to shake things up. I was essentially writing my own programs after following many different templates over the...

Good advice! I'm actually very disciplined at the store, and buy exactly what I'm going to eat for the week and keep pantry staples stocked up. Also stock up on meats to freeze when it's a good price. But I don't buy snacks. At all. Period. Unless it's a fresh fruit. I do meal preps for lunch...

I've been maintaining/slowly dropping in weight in phases since the last post. I always get tripped up on a plateau at 250. I'll get down there and then gain a few more pounds back. Some of this os definitely a slow recomp happening, but really I just need to be more disciplined. It's tough...

I like Jeff Nippard a lot, have watched a ton of his YouTube videos. I tend to like PPL over bro splits. I'll probably purchase one of his PPL programs after I complete my year of 5/3/1

Hey @StormEagle, you seem more knowledgeable in hypertrophy based training than myself. My history is in martial arts and strength training. Got any good pre-built hypertrophy programs to suggest? I'd prefer something with an app and the program built in so I don't have to think and can just...

Have no idea about it lol. I'm currently doing wendler's 5/3/1 program for the last 11 months. For about 8 of them I was following the "boring but big" template. The last few months I've actually switched it up to following basically a bro split after doing my 5/3/1 sets. It ends up looking...

Potentially possible, but he made himself sound like an experienced lifter. This would be called a recomp, and it's MUCH easier for newbs to to, and much more difficult for an advanced lifter to do. Muscle builds up much, much slower for already trained people. When you're new, yiu can build...

Yeah, so with your current activity and calorie levels, if you're not losing weight, I'd see a doctor. You'll definitely be losing weight at 2400-2600 calories combined with this activity level unless you have something medical going on. But don't expect much hypertrophy in the meantime...

How many calories are you eating in a day? The cardio, depending how hard you go, could potentially cut into your hypertrophy, but any kind of cut will do that. That's a lot of cardio before and after your lifts. Shouldn't be enough to really hurt much, but maybe limit it a bit if you start...

I lift a lot, I run during spring/summer/fall and do HIIT workouts. Until I got injured, I was working out 5 mornings a week and walks/runs on weekends. Lately been recovering from lumbar sprain/bulging disc. Pretty much recovered from that. Three PT sessions left. I've lost 80 pounds. 40 of...
