Thanks for suggestions, everyone. Still nothing I find particularly palatable, but I suppose that's to be expected, considering my low-GI masochism/'automysophobia'.



I really do have no clue...

Not diabetic, but it helps to avoid brain glucose/insulin spikes since I'm in high school with comorbid ADD without medication. It's not a huge deal, but if I can control that variable, great.

I'm...

Ah, thing is I'm looking for low GI, clean stuff. At the moment this is pretty much wholewheat bread and oatmeal.

Spaghetti sound good

This reminds me of a thread in the misc about five years ago. Someone found forums where people attempted to get as fat as possible. Progress pics, journals, the works. The opposite of bodybuilding....

My biggest problem is getting enough carbs daily. Protein and especially fat I get in excess.

I'm looking for at least 440g of carbs. How do you all get your carbs? Specific food choices and...

I trim everything so as to not look like a Wookiee.

My entire body is covered in hair, and it's repulsive. First time I had to shave my face I was 12/13 FYI. My general rule of thumb is, if I can...

Parents are like your environmental homeostasis. They will always love you just the way you are.

Do whatever the **** you want. If you like the way you look now, eat at maintenance, or consider...

Teen forum hasn't changed much.

You need to bulk, brah

There were a couple threads of this sort years ago when I was active, but you're likely a different bunch of people.

We spend a lot of time thinking about our goals and what we intend to become,...

Regular chalk is much better if you're able to use it at your gym.

You're using a mixed grip, right? One hand pronated, one hand supinated.
Gymnastic chalk (mostly magnesium carbonate) works wonders. On starting strength, you'd want your grip to strengthen as much...

I thought this would be obvious. The adaptations made during the first 3 to 6 months of training are predominantly neural, and frequency is very beneficial here. These changes in motor units lead to...

Calves. Reason? Pain.

Well depending on your goals, I'd say you have a good foundation to start a more hypertrophy-oriented upper- and lower-body split or two-day split.

Muscle is muscle, and it reacts to the same sort of progressive overload as it would for anybody else.

Provided your training methodology is correct, the key difference as an ectomorph is in your...

I don't quite see what purpose this would serve...

Srs?
