It's been a difficult ride to try and fix issues that were ingrained as a child and teenager. Essentially for me, lifting hard and lifting a lot is a way for me to harness my appetite in a positive...

Not sure how to respond to that matey!

I went out last night for some Indian food for a special occasion, probably ate close to 3800 calories (including a couple of beers). Today, I felt great, made progress on all my lifts, that's kind...

I used to be morbidly obese, I need very large meals to feel satisfied because of my quite unhealthy attitude towards eating. In fact, I started lifting primarily to eat more and feel satisfied every...

Yes mate, you're bang on here. I tracked my weight every day on my final cutting month, enabling me to calculate my maintenance pretty much bang on when I was on 5 days per week.

I wanted to do...

Not progressing as much as I was expecting. In the first week of the bulk, there was a big bump to my lifts. Ever since then, it's kind of stayed the same across the board (I log my lifts, every rep...

Yup, this was a slip up from me. Should have been doing this as soon as I started the bulk, I will do this on a weekly basis as of now. Thanks for the advice!

Hey Tucane, remember you from the bodyfat thread! Hope you are all good dude.

I feel a lot fuller, but not "fatter", guessing this is from the added glycogen after significantly upping my carbs...

Been lifting for 9 months as a beginner, cutting up until a month ago. Started my first bulk almost a month ago. I have been weighing myself intermittently to see how my weight has...

The info that I read before about BCAAs breaking the fast is that some studies suggest Leucine spikes insulin (not massively but enough), so it can spike insulin levels to a point where you are no...

Good to hear it's working out for someone in the long-term! Sounds like a neat routine, not too dissimilar from my own. I wake up, sink a strong black coffee and hit the iron!

I haven't look into...

Livin' the dream with the home gym, looking forward to having my own one day ;)

Sounds like an enjoyable routine!

Yeah I get you! Also I suppose it matters how it fits into your general lifestyle too which varies from individual to individual.

And indeed, certainly is interesting seeing what works for some...

Interesting to read, gents. I wonder why it varies so much from person to person?

I lift about an hour or two after waking up. I feel pitiful also until my first set, then I am absolutely pumped...

It's interesting how we all differ, huh? I know a lot of people experience this, at least you know what works for you and that's what matters :)

I agree on 4 hours being a bit too low in terms of an eating window. But I guess, if it works for you and you feel good all day when you eat that way, you do you...

I personally stick to an 8 hour...

Been doing so for the last month, gotta say, it feels damn good.

I won't claim it gives a performance increase, but I'd certainly say it makes lifting REALLY enjoyable. Before the gym, I am...

Been rocking my Horde shirt at the gym recently... doesn't quite fit in with the latest gym trends lol but it feels good lifting FOR THE HORDE!!! Need to get my base strength stats up before launch...

Do you go to the gym during rush hour/when it is busy? Thankfully, I never go to the gym during rush hour, and never have done. Can't imagine what some gyms are like during that time. During that...

I've had them in my program for a few months now, and I am becoming more and more of an advocate for them.

I can really feel my posterior delts being worked, as well as as my mid-traps. Those...
