How to stay Athletic while gaining muscle?

[Kal El]

Coli brehs/brehettes,

I've been able to put on a good amount of strength/muscle in the past few months thanks to some consistent dieting/lifting, but I feel myself getting too rigid. I don't wanna be muscular but have athleticism.


What's the best way to remain flexible/athletic while gaining muscle?

What your diet looking like

Continue to play sports while you build muscle. Don't do like me and just straight workout for like 18 months and then try to jump back into a sport. Your mind won't be prepared for your new body.

What your diet looking like

Your typical bodybuilding diet.

Breakfast: Oatmeal + Fruit and a Protein Shake
Lunch: Chicken or Fish and Brown Rice w/veggies
Post Workout: Protein Shake + Gummy Bears
Post Workout Meal/Dinner: Chicken or Fish and Brown Rice or Pasta w/veggies

Pretty typical of what I've eaten the past few months.

Just stretch and still play sports b what you talking about

Breh...fukk if I know. I've been strong and pretty aesthetic for the longest and people ask me what the key is because I look like I'd know. I did football and track back in the day, fiddled with some gymnastics....

Did power yoga last night for the first time with a frail, cigarette-smoking female coworker thinking shyt would be an intro class for beginners.

These broads were fukking breakdancing, breh. Felt like the teacher was making an example out of me. Pulled the foam blocks out on me. I felt weeeeak and I'd made the horrible decision of working legs the day before so I was STRUGGLING.

So I guess the answer is to keep shyt balanced. Power, cardio, core, flexibility. Don't neglect shyt and you'll be alright.

Go against the grain. Train for speed, flexibility, power, agility. For years I did and nfl safety workout and it kept me straight

Cardio

 

[krackdagawd]

explosive movements like cleans and snatches......Deadlifts squats and bench pleighboi


when you think of athletic movements it's essentially explosiveness.

 

[Heafcliffe]

After I lift (esp in the spring/ summer), I also either play ball or cycle.

 

[BigBrown21]

Pullups nikka, just those make me feel athletic as fukk.

you don't need to change anything just eat more...People make this fitness stuff harder than it really is calories in vs calories out and increasing strength/endurance
