>>951333Don't worry too much about losing it forever. Your body remembers how to handle having muscle and it might take 3-6 months, but you'll get it ALL back.
The problem with stagnating is, you have to work hard just to get back to your previous level. But you literally can't lose muscle like that.
Body builders talk about quitting and say they were able to get their previous mass back within 6 months, super easily

>>951337There are alot of scientific explanations for it. I think primarily reducing how imflamed you are will be the biggest contributer.

That, and after a while, it feels emotionally rewarding to do something good for yourself

how do you make the gym enjoyable? at least like cardio is fine because you can just zone out but anything else just bores me out ig this is just a zoomer attention span skill issue
№951456[Quote]
>>951454Hmm well I started by going with a friend and we both trained as bodybuilders.
Taking pre workout and listening to good music can definitely make weight lifting a fun activity though.
Music hits different while your working out, especially shit that gets you fired up. Lifting weights is the highlight of my day, everyday.
It could be my birthday and I'd still look forward to training in the morning
№951458[Quote]
I think if you have direction (ergo, you know what muscles you wanna train and in what order), then you can stop focussing on the workout itself, and think about literally anything else.
I don't really think about training unless I"m mid set, then I think about whatever the fuck is going on in my life, or focus on the music.

>>951458i honestly didnt have a direction other than just "get big" but even then i wasnt even making food at home id just skip meals because i usually dont get nusoihungritas. idk i think my biggest issue was worrying too much about the fatigue and dehydration (evendoe i drink a lot of water)
№951492[Quote]
>tl;dr i gotta invest in some earbuds or headphones
I can't work out without headphones. It's something I have to have with me otherwise I'm vulnerable to however I'm feeling that day.
>those friends were lowk bad people
Yeah I was that kinda guy aswell, but I don't talk to those guys anymore either, I never stopped though, and I fixed myself eventually. I don't train with anyone anymore
>because id forget it
Honestly, if you don't drink caffeine, it's probably never worth taking pre workout. You will wanna take it every day, then you'll probably end up drinking more caffeine after your workout.
№951495[Quote]
>i honestly didnt have a direction other than just "get big"
Yeah that's how started. Sorta.
I just wanted to train because I liked it, idk. I think I'm unique in that I love to train. I just love lifting.
And bro, I do not get hungry. lol. You just gotta eat brah.
KNowing how much protein is in each meal you ahve is all you really need to know. Just hit your protein goals, it wokred for me for a while. NOw I obsess over carbs and fat and such, but protein is the most important

on what i take in, i drink no caffeine, no smoking, no alcohol, no pre-workout or anything. thinking about investing in some creatine down the line but for me that would be pretty much it.
went from 205 to 190 so it seems to be working, but i'm probably going to stop at a minimum of 170-160. i don't want to end up looking like a fucking skeleton.

whats the best preworkout you can buy at costco or something
№951855[Quote]
>>951854Pre workout should be judged by ingredients.
As a general rule of thumb:
No more than 300mg of caffeine
at least 3200mg beta alanine
6000-8000mg L citrulline
3000-6000mg AAKG
NO creatine (you should be taking that anyway, extra will only dehydrate you)
Anything else is usually added sloppa. Don't buy pre workouts that have 'combined forumlaes' where they don't tell you the actual ingredient amounts. Check for RED 40 and other trashy flavourings, try to avoid aspartame K(potassium)
You can also totally just take caffeine or drink coffee, the extra pump really doesn't do much for actual performance I've found.

Since RDL's don't hit your full hamstring, I'll do hamstring curls every other leg day and leave out RDL's.
I also do either bulgarian split squats with a smith machine, or I'll just do lunges with a 25kg deadlift plate underneeth my squatting foot, so I can get maximal stretch on my quads

Working out first thing works great for me, it really sets me up for the day aswell. It levels me the fuck out, and normal shit doesn't piss me off at all. I can just handle it, yhknow?
<And if you're in collage, then exercising beforehand will actually improve your memory retention.
Resistance training or cardio increases BDNF (brain derived neutrophic factor) which essentially modulates memory formation for a few hours after the session.
Not only upregulating and improving your memory overall, but it improves your memory right after the session too.
All signs in the fitness community point towards working out as soon as you wake up, so I'd aim to keep this routine if I were you

Also just eat gelatin, its the cooked form of collagen, its 10x cheaper and its more absorbable. Collagen is a scam.

The first step in getting physically active is training your discipline. An easier way to stick to your training program is to do it either first thing, or do it immediately after getting home from work or college.
If you get into a habit of training, then it gets much harder to make excuses for yourself when the time comes to exercise.

>>957300also you can sacrifice leg growth (only do this if you have an upper/lower imbalance) and only work maintenance work on legs. this will skew the overall gains towards upper body, but in total you will gain less muscle mass

You mean biceps and triceps or more shoulder work?

I did more sprinting today, my lungs didn't hurt by my teeth still did. I have no idea why this happens but whatever.
I can't tell if the testosterone increase is short lived or if it increases it overall, but I was super fuckin angry after todays session and I've been more ancy recently so I think it's actually working.

Gainz haven't changed, I was lunging with 80kg for about 6 reps last leg day which is pretty nutty, considering I'm always running and cycling for cardio. My leg muscles were definitely more pumped today while I was stretching out.

Exercise clears your sinuses and unfucks your head if you’re feeling bloated

>>957520>>957520I guess it, again, depends on how sick you are. If you just got a headcold, I can see how exercise could help, but like the flu? You're taxing an already tax body. That's not good.

We should just go to hospitals and tell the sick to quit whining and go to the gym.

If you want strength and size then lift weights
If you like cardio then just do some cardio
Weight lifting is pretty easy, you push things on one day, pull things on the next, then hit your legs after that, then take a day off.
Of course it’s gonna get more complicated from here on out, but that’s the gist of a training regimen

I personally spend my rest days doing cardio
It’s just I don’t wanna overwhelm a newbie, it’s helpful to pick a practise and get good at that first before you start adding stuff in. I think building discipline right at the start is way more important than what exercises you do

is there a way to make bulgarian death squats bearable? i lowkeynuinely feel like passing out at 8th rep and i gotta do 12. i do them after leg press, so they are only the second exercise
№963838[Quote]
>>963776Bulgarian death squats? Do you mean split squats?
I use a smith machine and a I use a thick deadlift plate underneath my squating foot for more range of motion.
They fucking suck. That's why I do them though.
<Leg press is, performative…. You can argue against that but almost any other squatting exercise is superior. I always found that overtraining my legs not only hindered my muscle growth, but reduced my ability to ENJOY leg day.
I only do one quad exercise per leg day, one hamsting exercise, one calf exercise, ab and adductors.
I got my barbell squat up to 182.5kg - 405lbs AFTER reducing the amount of work done to my quads.
So maybe just do split squats and ditch the leg press. I can leg press almost 400kg+ but what does that even mean if it's not as beneficial as other quad exercises?
<If you're sure you're not fatigued, then I can advise you to start doing some cardio here and there. I can go to failure on my squatting lifts much more efficiently now that my VO2 max is higher and my cardio is better :)

So also, just doing them more will make improve your endurance overtime (given that you're not overtraining)

>>964121Hm interesting
I think everyone is like this with upper/lower body strength, I mean your legs are essentially just massive muscles made to be extremely resilient to fatigue.
Maybe, try and alternate your quad exercises, so one week do split squat -> leg press and next week do barbell squat and leg extensions, so your muscles can heal better.
Lifting is only 20% of the work, the other 80% is all recovery
