I agree with the above, you are chasing the last 0.01% when you will make big health improvements - and most likely hormonal improvements just by losing weight and eating healthier foods. It's ...

I agree with the above OP. It will be muscle gained that most impacts your physique when you are older. You will look better in clothes and find it much easier to maintain leanness rather than trying...

There is a lot of individual variation but you can get an estimate using a 1RM calculator

For example, if 10 reps with 100 gives a 1RM of 133:
then 6 reps with 115 is...

Restrict what you eat to unprocessed foods and you probably find it easier to maintain lower calorie intake. Vegetables of all kinds, fruit, meat, eggs, beans, lentils etc.

volume is not fixed. Everyone has a current volume requirement and it changes over time. As mentioned, how you measure volume depends on exertion levels in each set. You migtht not getting as close...

If one source contradicts another, often it's because they are talking about something which doesn't really matter to results. That should be your default position - focus on the basics which are...

You are just skinny, I don't even need to see a photo. If you think you are fat it must be part body dysmorphia and partly because you have very little muscle to give you shape.

So my answer is to...

Way to get angry with a 2015 thread.

It has happened to me too. Probably bloodflow to the head - perhaps something pinching in the neck area. I like to use high rep overhead shrugs to exercise the area. You can also do facepulls or...

A good way to start would be to eat 2 meals a day at fixed time with no snacking in between.

Restrict what you eat to meat, eggs and vegetables. You can eat to appetite with these foods without...

Sounds fine to me, if anything there are things you can make simpler and just focus on the thing doing the work - the calorie deficit - which is achieved by whatever means necessary.

Eating low...

You don't have to gain weight to gain muscle when you are a novice, especially if you have fat to lose. You should be able to run a slight deficit and make progress in the gym. Just don't expect...

You need to give your body time to get used to the unusual loads that you are placing on it. I picked up a lot of injuries when I first started too because I kept wanting to jump up to maximum...

It's hormone emitted by plants to cause insects to prematurely malt IIRC. In other words, a toxin used as a defence mechanism by the plant.

Volume needed is something that is individual to a person. If you do volume training, I think you develop a tolerance for it and have to keep doing it. Which is fine if you have a lot of time to...

You don't need to "bulk" unless you are very underweight. Eat good protein rich wholefoods according to your appetite. You should gain weight slowly as you grow in any case.

Yeah, I am pretty cynical about franchises and reboots and such but this was truly a great film. Glad I went to IMAX to see it.

lol at F14s being seen as ancient... when I was young I thought they...

Yep, restricting your nutrient intake before your bones have fully formed is just a bad idea.

I put the calorie and protein content of foods I commonly eat on a spreadsheet. So most of the time, all I need to do is fill in the amounts and I can work out a days intake in a matter of seconds....

I don't think you are really reading the responses you are getting. It doesn't have to be 8-12 reps or 8 sets (thats total for a bodypart per week by the way), these are averages from a widely...
