A couple of thoughts/observations:

  • The reason I said your goals weren't specific or measurable is because there was no quantitative component to them. What is "slim and muscular", which to me is an oxymoron? By whose eye, yours, gym bros, random fatties, dimepieces, your peoples? Do these people lift or know what muscular is? What body fat range will that occur at? What lean body weight.

  • Waffling has nothing to do with hard work, it simply means that it will be harder for you to analyze and critique your progress, since again, you haven't associated any numbers with your goals. You could be carbed up one day and look beastly in a specific shirt and be depleted the next time and look like shyt in it.

  • You actually can target specific areas of your body for muscular growth/development. What you cannot do is spot-reduce specific areas of your body for fat loss. Fat distribution is genetically predetermined; the only way to spot reduce is via plastic surgery.

  • HSTs (hypertrophy specific training programs) can be very difficult to plan and execute, especially for less-experienced lifters.

  • Are you lifting 6 days a week? That's prolly overkill for the majority of folks, especially on a cut, but again, it depends on what your goals are. If the workouts aren't that intense or dense (talking volume) than it's probably not as much of an issue.

  • I have no idea who teaches the classes you attend at your gym, but the ones I see at the gyms I visit are mostly an exercise in wasting time. A dedicated program with fewer changes in modalities would prolly net more consistent and more predictable gains.

Ex.: Ole buddy at my home gym is banking off all these people that are ignorant of The Whey, but his knowledge is limited and most assuredly doesn't even exceed my own.

4. Yeah, get that bf % down. Not tryna be mean but 25-30% is what a "thick" broad clocks in at (not a BBW :scust:). As a dude, you need to be a least half that if you wanna be decent. You're basically gonna have to halve the amount of body fat you had when that estimate was made, and prolly take it even lower if you want visible abs. :mjcry:
Ex:Expound on that breh cause I have been hittin The Whey as a Meal Replacement:jbhmm:I would have it thru the day,A T Spoon in my Coffee in the Morning,a Scoop for My Coffee Smoothie for the day then maybe a Tablespoon post Gym with Almond Milk and a Powdered PB,sometimes Belended with Greens and Fruit

The Whey is not a MRP or #Powder, it is the knowledge of the process of getting gains. You're not a #PowderBoyz member so you false-flagging like a motherfukker right now.
:gucci:


Splitting up a scoop of #Powder (i.e. whey protein) like that is just silly. Your scoop prolly has roughly 24g of protein in it. How much are you getting from a Tsp or Tbsp of that? Take a whole scoop post lifting and maybe do one for the coffee smoothie; all that other shyt is extra and literally doing nothing for you. If anything you would want to cut carbs and fats over protein since excess protein is least likely to be stored as bodyfat.

Right? I even took time out of my day to help two AF crehs with their deadlifting form. The Whey should be disseminated for maximum dispersal. If they can accept it great, if not, no worries. We shouldn't fear others having our knowledge. The Law of Conservation of Mass and Aesthetics will not allow everyone to benefit from it anyways.


I'm even gonna prod my little friend to start her weight training career. If she makes it, great. If not, the Theory of Hoes with Honey should allow me to link up with other gym brawds before she flames out.
