If that's the prime currency in your life

Let me guess: you workout and limit how much you eat?

Holy ****, how did you know? Seriously though, of course I do.
But beyond basic stuff like cals in vs cals out there's a whole realm of things that make the difference between sustainable and unsustainable lifestyle.

What makes it sustainable is not adding any other unnecessary restrictions.

[risingstarl96a1]

Well, I’ll take you seriously if you say your natty. What type of diets do you have and limits. Also the type of workout you use? Been looking for a routine to run a diet and workout to cut and get lean. Srs

thats easy if you are a teen or you eat like a bird. Sub 10 with decent muscle is a different story. No pic, no claim

[rhadam]

Great pics, amazing size, keep us updated on your progress OP.

I'm pushing 40 hard. Very average genetics. Lifestyle optimisation is key.
There'll be no pic because I don't want to enter the old "I call roids" debate. Sorry.
I'm just trying to help people who are at wits end, just like I once was, wondering why they can't get their goals physique.

[TolerantLactose]

I feel helped already.

If something puts you under mental or physical stress (both are intimately interconnected), you'll eventually break.
Anything you can't do continuously without experiencing constant stress, is not sustainable.
That's why most people in those "my goal body" photos regain 5kg/11lb days after the photoshoot.

Putting myself under mental and physical stress is what I do in the gym.

Lol weak. There are thousands of people who've posted pictures of their bodies here with no drama. Right now - you are a 2020 join date RED with no pics talking big...plenty of reasons for people to not take you seriously.

[Tommy W.]

This is OP asking an elementary question and one of the few posts not in MISC. Doubtful of any physique worth postin a pic of.....




Anyone has any proven programs for grip strength training?

Preferably personal experience and beyond standard stuff like CoC drops and negatives.

Also, any advice regarding equipment/methods: best gripper, dynamic vs static, reps vs holds etc.

As far as diet, the biggest thing was not the diet itself, but making it easy and sustainable, without counting calories, weighing stuff, and cooking *all the time*. I counted calories and quantities for a few recipes I could rotate, that took only ~20min to make, and that I could get 3-4 preps out of.

Diet is mostly logistics, making sure you have everything in the fridge/freezer ahead of time. Learning how to make large quantities of food fast and tasty takes some practice, but once you figure it out, it's an invaluable skill. I use a wok and stir fry everything.

In training, instead of trying to progress infinitely within same program, I broke it down into 3 cycles: strength, hypertrophy, and anaerobic, 8 weeks each, the last one being not cardio, but explosive exercises like snatch, thrusters, clean etc.

So don't, it's a free country. You obviously don't need my advice.

Glad you noticed. Perhaps you have a brilliant answer? No sarcasm, would be appreciated.

Are you accusing me of drinking OJ??????!!!!!

[Ghawk21]

OP you probably do mean well and might even have some good advice, however, as long as you have that red bar (which tends to mean you give bad advice) and don't substantiate any of your claims why should anyone take you seriously?

Mental stress comes from unnecessary restrictions. All you need is training, protein, and intake control. Everything else can be used to make it as convenient as possible for the individual.

Holy phuck. Groundbreaking info. This type of information has never been seen on this forum or the nutrition forum, ever. It's definitely not given many times per day. You're an inspiration to us all with this new and exciting advice.

[chapz]

i am 5'11.5 and 170 when properly ripped natty ( tiny), i look small in clothes and am much weaker in the gym, but its all worth it when people see you shirtless or in tight clothes...
some of the better photos on my profile are when im ripped (scroll down), the difference from 180 to 170 for me is astounding and you can see it in the photos
