Diet and Workout Routines

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Try not to have cheat days, only cheat meals

More frequent than once a month and less calories than a whole pizza
Thanks in pretty active and workout everyday, but as hard as I workout I feel I should look like Arnold. My lifts go up slightly, but body never looks different. I'm like skinny fat. So decided to quit bulking and cut my calories from 4000 to 3100.
 
I was at 222, but wanted to gain weight so kept eating until I got to 237 and it all went to my stomach. That's when I had my diet set to get me to 240. But I'm going to try and try and shed this fat and get shredded then try and get big again
 
Fuck bulking until you're at like 10% body fat then just do it slowly. Weight should come on slow
What about preworkout. I take that and amino acids pretty much everyday Negaunee I workout everyday for an hour to 2 hours. Is it dangerous? I can't workout without it.

Not dangerous. I never got into it. Pretty sure it loses effectiveness too

True which is why I try to switch them up. They have so much caffeine in them didn't know if they were dangerous. Do you know a lot about fitness? This is my schedule.

Mon: chest triceps
Tues: legs
Wednesday: back and biceps
Thursday: shoulders abs
Friday: chest triceps
Sat: legs
Sunday: back bis
Usually spend 50 minutes working on each body part

Then repeat. Usually an hour of cardio 3/4 times a week with basketball and boxing.My bench is about 300 now, but I want it at 400 in a year and my deadlift is 475, I want that at about 550.
What do you think

You would probably benefit from 1-2 days off of lifting to allow you CNS/muscles to recover. The more is better approach can be ineffective in bodybuilding. You coud always add some light cardio in your days off.

I would even imagine you will see more progress taking 1-2 days off.
 
To over train you first have to train. I wish I could take days off. Addicted to pre-workout and working out. Mostly pre-workout.

The schedule looks good but if you can, condense some of the days together like do back bi neck, and tri chest shoulders, to give you some rest throughout the week.throw in some core work


AA far as how to approach it all meta, it's up to you based on your goals. Just can't gain and cut at the same time. To gain that much strength you're gonna need to bulk and to bulk you're gonna put on some fat. Personally I'd cut first, but I'm more of an aesthetics guy. If you don't mind looking a bit fatter and you want to get that strength quicky just go for it, otherwise it's gonna be awhile before you get there

If you want to get stronger, do higher weights and lower rep and focus on explosive strength.
 
Thanks for the advice. All my lifts are in the intermediate stages, want to level up by this time next year
 
Spent the last two, almost three months being a lazy sack of shit in terms of both diet and lifting. Crazy busy with work....and Elden Ring lmao

Ugh so much progress gone but gotta get back on the wagon
 
What are you trying to get out of yoga?

(eg is it mental, physical, spiritual etc)
Honestly not quite sure, probably a mixture of all those. My legs always feel restless when I lay down to fall asleep at night. I have to stretch and then usually it subsides so I figured maybe I just need more stretching and movement in my daily life and yoga was the first thing to come to mind. Now that it is nicer out I will definitely be moving more, taking the dog for longer walks, etc etc so maybe this isn't even necessary.

What about diet? Trying to get the sodium in the green isn't hard, eating plain chicken breast,but it's hard to eat because it's so bland. If I throw seasoning on it, it takes me out of the red. What can I do to make Wolfgang down 24oz if chicken daily manageable?
