GODS OF THE TBB SECTION : Q & A | DC, Pink, Ka0s, HC

[Ka0s]

Do you think 146g protein is optimal for me?

Nah, I never recommend below 1g / lb of BW (except for obese fella). It's so easy to eat 175 grams of protein, why wouldn't you do that if it offered even minimal benefits

[bluevoda]

If i work triceps i will probably throw in dips, but where? And I never usually do 5 reps on incline, usually 8. Might add in calf exercises on lower days. thanks for the help. any more advice is appreciated.

nice

Because studies show that 1g/lb is most of the times excessive. Just don't want to use up all my whey quickly unless I need to lolz

[EricKanevskiy]

Guru Pinkton, do you ever train in the LA area?

[bluevoda]

Personally cannot really give you an opinion on what to do...technically either will work. Don't BEGIN a bulk if you are over 12% imo.

As far as building a back, me and HC both deadlift with low volume and heavy weight. I have always done high intensity, high volume back workouts consisting of 2 vertical pulls and 2-3 horizontal rows, not counting rear delts and traps.



I spent about $4 on a gallon of lemon flavored Arizona Iced Tea. Drank it all that day. I regret nothing.

well done

Are there any studies that show you how to look like this:

Thoughts on upper/lower 3 times a week? (will post routine if needed) what else could I run 3xs a week?

Is the difference between 2-3 anything major?

Favourite excercise for each body part ( from you all )

[ThomasCreel]

Do crunches cause lower back pain the next day? Or did I just have improper form when squatting?

Trying to figure out why my lower back is killing me.

[Ka0s]

lolwut

Think about it, srs. Can science teach you how to look like that?

Not directly, but it can help you attain that look yes.

I have heard of crunches being bad for your lower back (over a long term) because of the spinal flexion involved but I think the squats are the more likely culprit.

Personally I don't like upper/lower, I don't see how you can hit every upper body muscle group in one workout unless it's 3 hours long. Lots of people do well with it... I don't see any reason to train 6x a week though, 4-5 is plenty. Rest days are important

Don't understand second question

No not usually, I'm down in san diego

That's actually a pretty genius statement srs

Will use for further arguments

Thoughts on bulking faster than the standard lean bulk? Mainly for (idk the word) confidence? Also to make sure I'm in a surplus.
Thanks.

Higher surplus translates to more gains both fat and muscle but from looking at the trends more people would benefit from a bigger surplus.

[agrier9]

Is the difference between 2-3 anything

I'm assuming you mean frequency and yes there's a difference. Beginner-intermediate trainees will develop faster with a 3x a week frequency. Whereas it's a common belief that 2x a week is superior for intermediate-advanced trainees due to higher loads of intensity.

That's funny, I remember when you negged me for giving somebody criticism on their progress. Now you will be negged and escorted out of this thread in a bodybag

im currently 155 at 6 feet tall. If i train 6 times a week with proper nutrition is it a realistic goal for me to bulk up to 200lbs by the end of june?

[Vanduynomite]

How old are you guys?

Lifting stats? ty men

How many of you have had suggestive pictures sent to you by Thad?

Sure, but you'd probably be fat. Don't worry about weight worry about what's in the mirror. Dirty bulking is not advocated by any of us (as of what I know, maybe HC but he has the genetics to stay lean while eating crap).

What would a better goal weight be to bulk to by the end of june? If I bulk to 190 ill be gaining 1.35 pounds per week.
