>>24 >Do you really put so much effort into cooking every day? Actually, yes I do. You don't want to hear the steps I take to make Ramen, which I have about 3 times a week. Just out of curiosity, what does your diet look like?

>>6 Making sloppa in multicooker/pressure cooker is convenient as hell, I tell you.

>>3 lots of FUCKIN eggs

>>3 As for recent ~2 months, I have lost just 3 kg, but I kept it so and think I at last figured out what I should do to lose more fat >eat fibrous food like oats, green and apples >avoid fatty food (I'm trying to lose fat, after all) >do low intensity exercise Sounds pretty obvious yet I tend to fail at one of those points (partially because I live with parents, so mom's cooking and stuff) which causes my weightloss to stall, but it still worked better than fad diets I tried besides outright starving myself and hopping coworkers don't try to feed me at work due to no lunch, haha. I need to buckle up and focus on that, summer is around th corner and I can see some outer lines of abs if I squint, so maybe I'm close. Fun fact: white rice didn't help with satiety even mixed with lentils, I need to go for brown rice and similar stuff.

>>3 i've gone from 215 and sad to 200 and less sad in 2.5 weeks. i used to walk miles and miles for my job but they've been working on the facility for what was supposed to be 4 months that turned into a year and gained 30 lbs eating and lifting so I started to cut. I can't run but walking 5 miles a day and weighing my food again has really helped. my legs feel great.

Horrible case of gyno!

>>770 loads of stretches

You guys ever have a day where you are just super fucking hungry. I am not even in the mood to binge on crap food or something I am just generally hungry after eating twice. Trying to survive by drinking water but it is like damn this shit is killing me. I had a tuna sandwhich with 2 of those packets and some veg, then chicken with onions, pepper, and white rice. Still fucking hungry.

>>782 Too much ghrelin and too few Leptin in your system. Diet fatigue is a real thing. If you're crave carbs you can eat potatoes and salt the shit out off them.

>>782 yeah. yesterday, before that a few months ago. some days you just need more food. probably your brain needs something or you'll die, so it makes you really hungry.

Biggest activation specifically of the bicep, or does it mean it actives the largest number and size of muscles, including the bicep? The latter seems more likely to me. Anyway, I found barbell curls work better for me than dumbbell curls.

I really need to train my biceps. My tris aren't much to flaunt, but they're growing. My biceps are absolutely too week and I get mogged by people much lighter than me,

>>738 >literally <5% bf no matter how much i eat I doubt this. How did you measure? If you didn't gain weight, you didn't eat properly. You need to track and weight your food. Buy a kitchen scale. OXO makes some good scales.

>>738 Lots of things could be wrong. What were your workouts? How much protein were you eating? How about other macros?

Maybe your metabolism changed due to working out and your body noticing that you're actually gonna use it. I don't know shit, ask a doctor and be wary of assumptions.

>>215 I got injured during a time my strength gains were rising at their fastest rate yet. Outside my youth even but I was lifting heavy almost exclusively. Eventually, a back injury occurred in the middle of a squat set. I was able to finish the rep I was on despite it but the back pain that followed for the following couple of months was so intense I'd get out of bed to get some water to drink, walk back to bed, and literally would feel tired from all the pain felt. I haven't read anything here but recently I started, for the first time ever I might add, a light weight workout routine. Where I do sets slow and steady, for max reps, or to even do movements that would break me with heavier weights. Doing this for three weeks I went back to some heavy weights. Not only did it feel easier to pump out 10 on heavier dumb bells, but it also felt less painful, for a lack of better words. Like my muscle was more full. I don't know how to explain it. Anyways, I found out it takes about 40 days before newly acquired maxes start going down for me but with how the light weights have been changing me, I feel like it's making my body more prepared for the strength gains I acquire. You know how some dudes cycle test? I'm thinking the trick to natty weight lifting is to cycle heavy weights. Idk, maybe just doing 100 rep sets of 5lb dumbells and then jumping up to something heavier to do only 10 times just seems to make it easier to do those ten despite being much heavier.

>>223 That's pretty interesting. A lot of these old time strongmen used to only lift heavy during their shows apparently, their performances were their training. Something similar to your situation happened with the author of "the lost secret" posted earlier, he broke his elbow I believe and didn't want to put too much stress on it right after it healed, so he thought he'd experiment with this old system. He doesn't claim to fully understand how the system works but has a couple theories. I posted the book through catbox because it's an epub, which I don't think will upload here, but I recommend it. There is a bit more to it than meets the eye.

I've noticed fasting and eating low carbs helps me think and remember better what I see in my university classes. I tried nootropics but I didn't really notice a difference.

>>211 >I've noticed fasting and eating low carbs helps me think and remember better what I see in my university classes. Really? I've had the opposite happen to me.

I'd rather eat a protein packed meal than have the drinks, it feels like a snack to me. but idk

>>188 Being this new, you will accumulate fatigue much faster. You should probably just do 3 or 4 days a week to start with, hit each muscle twice a week at least, and aim for 12 sets per muscle cumulative as well. People who hit the gym six days a week are spreading which muscle they hit so it gets a day or two of recovery. If you hit every muscle every day you will feel like shit, injure yourself, and get worse results because the growth happens during the recovery phase anyways. Eat your protein throughout the day, stay hydrated, and get a full night's sleep. Don't hit the same muscle two days in a row.

>>180 Doesn't the process to remove caffeine affect the bean in a way that removes some of the benefits? There's some research on it but I don't have time to read it. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32551832/

>>184 Have you tried prunes? You might also benefit from some fiber pills.

After nofap my pee smells like the Zoo You know that typical Zoo smell? It smells intensely like piss. Besides Hay Animals in the Zoo kinda smell like piss. So what I noticed in the last few days is that sometimes my piss smells very intense, exactly like the Zoo. I don't think it's just dehydration, because I was dehydrated a few times, when I was still fapping. What do you think? Did you ever experience that?

>>174 Nofap is not necessarily the cause (correlation doesn't mean causation). Have you check your glomerular filtration rate lately? You may want to take a basic urine analysis and some basic blood chemistry tests.

>>174 Probably something you ate, or maybe you have ball cancer. Dunno.
