Slightly longer than a year, my bench is probably around 230. Been a while since I checked my max though. Started with 75 for 3x5

Thanks for the advice. I definitely understand the risks and stress I'll be signing up for, but all this while I've thought that'd be worth it. Now I'm no longer completely sure. I just have always...

I thought going down the PhD route and being an academic would be more satisfying than stopping at just being a teacher. But now I'm loving the financial security and the stability and I know that if...

Lmao where did you get that from?

Indians went out of their way to not inbreed. They check several generations back to see if anyone from their families married like 200 years ago. It's kind of...

Anyone ever think about what kind of Indians end up migrating to the US? Yeah, those nerdcel types who grew up in a family that believed studying 19 hours a day was the most adorable thing their kid...

There are several RCTs that compare soy/rice/pea protein powder to protein powder from animal sources and none of them notice any difference in lean mass gains, so I don't think animal protein is any...

Technically lentils are a complete source, they just have a couple amino acids in smaller concentrations compared to, for example, soy. I eat around 200 grams of lentils everyday as the centre of my...

Obviously cooked lentils will weigh less because of water. Dry red lentils have 25 grams of protein per 100 grams (350 kCal). They work great as a staple and are just so healthy for you. According to...

Nuts/nut butters? My favourite is almond butter, but you can also get cashews, peanuts, walnuts, whatever. I can get like 500 calories in without even noticing lol

Coffee + bananas

Red Lentils ftw

20% of total caloric intake when you're at maintenance is good enough. Anything less than 15% is too low. Personally I prefer low fat diets as they help me not over-eat and also I just really love...

Just graduated with a Masters degree in biology and now working full-time as a teacher. I'm loving this job, but I plan to get into grad school again and get a PhD. Not really sure when, but atm I'm...

Straight sets. I've been trying to do more volume with lower intensity, so I do 4 sets of 8 usually for bench twice a week

Thanks! I was doing four sets of five, and it was my last set, so yeah the weight felt a bit heavy - especially the last one, where I really gave up going deep enough. My previous best before the...

Coming out of a mild knee injury, did 130 kilos for four reps last workout. I was a bit worried with my depth, so I recorded my last set. What do you think?

Fruits and vegetables, not even once

Macros are not the be all end all of health and fitness

Yeah, eating that much protein is stupid. Every time I go on a diet that has >180 grams of protein, I feel I can't get enough fibre, fruits and vegetables in and my digestion and mood suffer as a...

I find shrugs kind of pointless. Do high volume deadlift and barbell rows, they work the best for me while targeting traps.

Do some pullovers to activate your lats before the back workout. Also, don't expect your lats to grow huge natty. There's not a massive difference in terms of size between when you start off and when...
