Your brain uses 60% of the energy you consume when at rest. Understand that anything less then mental tranquility will absolutely kill your results. Just decide the foods that you are gonna eat and eat them, figure out your workouts, go ahead and do it, then stop thinking about it all once you leave the gym. Don’t even come on this site and discuss things. Don’t even think about working out. Believe what you choose is working. If you deviate a little don’t think anything of it just get back on track. Leaving your mind wandering and being unsure of you plan will only cause a bunch of tension that will eat up the extra energy you are trying to provide your muscles. It doesn’t matter if you take all the hormones in the world if your mind is working against you. Plan, execute, and then enjoy the other aspects of your life. This isn’t your career.
And stop smoking for good, it constricts your blood vessels. One of the main goals of muscle building is to increase the number of new capillaries by striving for a pump. You can increase the size of muscle fibers and sarcoplasm as well but only to a certain point. However you can create many new capillaries and more capillaries equals more muscle size. Not only that but your lowering the amount of blood that is actually repairing the muscle after you damage it in the workout. Stop constricting them constantly if your goal is muscle size[/quote]
^ Truth all around. Smoking makes me loose my appetite. I never want to eat unless im high, so im always force feeding it seems.
cheers harris russ and all the other helpful comments! really needed to get this sorted and on the mental health issue i do think alot about my body as im very body conscious i think this is because before i started working out i was like 8stone and i didnt build a foundation naturaslly i went straight on to gear because i didnt wanna look at how skinny i was anymore verty stupid of me and could of harmed me alot putting that in me at that body weight! harris are the meals an average size on thqt diet??
if you find your getting to fat/soft just reduce the amount of carbs your having with each meal, I?ve eaten like this long enough to know by sight roughly how much carbs i need per meal. You might wish to measure out your carbs for a while to get a better understanding of how much you?re eating and how much you need.
To make it easier i would stick to brown rice and oats if i was measuring. Weigh it out in the morning roughly divide it (the oats/rice) in to 5-6 meals. No need to measure it out for every meal.
carbs would be based on your body weight. maybe 2grams per ib of lean bodyweight. And adjust from there(up or down)
i would prob do 2 meals of oats and protein powder
3-4 meals of rice
Maybe 1 pita with an egg meal.
You want a sensible calorie surplus, too huge a surplus and you will just get fat. i have 3 treat meals a week when bulking, these could be burgers/pizza or maybe just some crisps sweets etc just makes a nice change.
All meals should be flavored even if it?s just a sprinkle of herbs
Rice 100grams=80 grams of carbs
Oats 100grams=80grams of carbs
The above is from memory and is not exact

You used it twice, as well as trying to use “loosing”. Not trying to be a jerk. Anyway…
I hear of a lot of people saying they work hard in the gym, but the reality is they are not. Weed seems to be counter productive to the mindset needed in the gym and so maybe you need to look at the intensity. As example, do you stop for conversations while training or are you focused on getting the job done?
If you have not tried it, maybe you should look into preworkout boosters to help get in the zone. Train when the gym is bit emptier to reduce the distractions from your focus. Can you get a training partner who is achieving results?
Also, how is your diary looking. Have you been changing routines too often?
Something is wrong and you should avoid the roids until you have fixed it. No point repeating yourself.
My trainning partner is gaining and he is natural, now i have this diet plan sorted i feel alot better and im not paying attention to how my body looks (getting on with it without thinking too much) i feel i train until i fail my routine dont change that much i’ll do this most weeks. mon-chest n tri’s, tues- back n bi’s, wednesday- legs, thursday off,friday shoulders and abs,sat and sun off. i train until fail on heavy but strength training so im doing 5 sets of 5reps.

Sorry your getting a tough time on this thread.
Personally, I need more reps than 5. I get stronger with 5’s, but the muscle just does not follow. Especially for legs.
To add to this point, look again at King Beef’s ‘Do This Routine Instead of That Dumb One’ thread and look at the routine he started with. This time look at the rep ranges…not a 5 in sight!
