New gym goers got it easier today.

They have access to quality protein at the local CVS...

I remember having to go to a supplement to get decent protein supplements.

The only thing they had was nasty ass and high sugar body fortress. Now you get ON, at a decent price.

No excues.

/rant.

Meh, these "new gym goers" need to be more focused on showing up to the gym, doing conditioning work, eating to support their goals, and lifting with good form and progressive overload moreso than where they get their supplements, which, as noobs, should really be the last thing they're worried about.
:yeshrug:


I wonder how many newbies end up spending on supplements each year only to slaw out and not even make it eight weeks straight. :ohhh:



Be buying protein #Powder but don't have a plan or consistency in place, new gym brehs. :mjlol:

These new goers are so scared of putting in hard work that they need to use steroids, just to barely bench 225lbs :dead:

Just so you know, successfully completing a body recomposition has nothing to do with your routine. :ufdup:

I did a recomp squatting everyday with minimal assistance. :usure:

:ohhh: Well damn. I been said you really learn something new every day. Anyway, lemme run the routine for the next 8 weeks and I'll let you know how it's turned out.

A body recomp is about tricking your body into burning fat and building muscle at the same time, right? You're essentially bulking and cutting at the same time.

To do that you have to dial in cardio, lifting, and diet into a sweet-spot that is both anabolic and fat-burning.

Well muscles don't have brains, they don't think, they don't understand reps or body part splits or even exercise selection, they only understand tension.
:ufdup:


Conversely, your body doesn't care if you're training a bro split or full body seven times a week when it comes to conditioning, only duration, intensity, frequency, and oxygen consumption.
:ufdup:


You could literally use any type of split you wanted to do a recomp, as long as you dial in those three things - at the same time.

When I did mine in the desert I was working more than I've ever worked in my life (I worked like 60 something days straight, averaging about 10 hours a day) but I:
  • had unlimited food (all you can eat)
  • was doing 3-4 squares plus snacks and weight gainer (multiple servings)
  • had enough chakra to do cardio
  • was walking literally everywhere (prolly getting 15-20+k steps a day)
I was doing 2 1/2-3 hour full-body sessions and would sometimes do two-a-days for squats or deadlifts. Brb squatting up to 10x a week with multiple pull sessions and was hitting PRs every week and setting contemporary base gym records.


The absolute last thing that mattered was my split. :rudy:



Wise with the Force am I.

What did y’all do to blow up your arms brehs? :sadcam:

Moar compounds. :mjgrin: Seriously. :ufdup:


Broad at work seent me with the short-sleeve on and hit the :banderas: at the arms not even flexing. A couple of older white broads was grabbing em, they didn't give a fukk.

The whole time I'm thinking damn, we only do maybe 10 minutes a week of direct arm work (full-body) to maybe a dozen sets a week (upper/lower x6).:ohhh:

Well he setup on the platform next to me and threw his belt down like he was about to fukk the place up and it was downhill from there.

The Thicc Caucasian women that was hitting 315 for single a on the platform before him however…….


Instant wifey status, even if she's a buffalo. :banderas:
