Wholeheartedly agree. This community is great, I really am focusing hard as well and hope we all do this journey together. Who knows, maybe in 1 year I could be writing Bench 225x5 in this log 
.
And thanks to @tlgains comments last night , I’m done feeling sorry for myself and whining; just going to put the effort in day in day out now
Week 3 - Jeff Nippard’s Hypertrophy Fundamentals, Body Part split routine
16 November 2021 Tuesday - General Stuff:
Weighed in at 77.9kg (down 1kg from yesterday morning), I had 2450 calories (as planned) yesterday but I must have had some crazy water imbalance since meal timings were slightly earlier. I’m still sticking to the 2450 calories plan, this might have been a “freak incident.”
From the Apple Watch, slept 6h35m last night
16 November 2021 - Legs/Abs
@kdjohn , I also did some conditioning today, not much but getting started.
6 Mins on stairmaster, level 14, it was definitely intense (for my level).
Decent workout today, appreciate all of you guys helping me out, I’m motivated to make improvements. Still sticking with the nutrition plan:
2450 calories/day
220g protein
85g fat
200g carb
Dude I told you to film your squat
Totally slipped my mind, I apologize. I am doing deadlift on Thursday and it will be filmed 100%, I have made a reminder just in case I forget
Lol let’s put him on super squats as well.
I don’t think there is anything wrong with pulling a male hormone panel. T, FT, E2, SHBG, Prolactin, DHT are needed to see if you have hypogonadism. I doubt you need TRT, but having an understanding of what your numbers can be useful. Don’t jump on TRT unless you have at least 2 rounds of blood work that shows you are deficient. I know you mentioned under 500 ng/dL, I don’t think that is a good number to go by. Too many guy are on TRT that don’t need it.
If you pull blood work, you can post it, tag me, and I’ll look it over.
I am not going to comment on training. I think you have gotten a lot of good advice from every poster, but it is almost too much advice in that it is causing second guessing. Stick with your program for now.
Cool; it does seem like it will take a bit longer to get the bloodwork done up here (Ontario) because of how slow medical services are for non-urgent reasons. But this is something I want to get done in any case just to have a baseline and check-up every few years or so. Will be a great peace of mind as well; I also doubt I need TRT (or have low test for that matter); no symptoms
Going to see if there’s any improvement with the new nutrition and continue this program.
I mean, if he wants to. I am not trying to force anyone into anything because I have a feeling that if his mind isn’t into it, he’s going to quit.
I just recommended Deepwater because you, @T3hPwnisher, @flappinit and I have all seen outstanding progress on it. It lines up with his goals 100% and it’ll teach him how hard to actually push himself. No offense is meant by this @supercardrives, but I have a sneaking suspicion that effort may be lacking and that’s why you havent been seeing the amount of progress you expect.
With all due respect, you are free to your opinion.
I’m personally looking for something 5x per week so I can go M-F at 4AM; not only will I be able to get a workout done but also jump started for work.
As for effort, I’m not sure how you deemed that, but I have had a lot of sessions where I’m maxing out, so I doubt that is completely low effort, but whatever you say I guess.
Also, this has to be a joke: “Super Squats: How to Gain 30 Pounds of Muscle in 6 Weeks.” Clickbait I’m guessing.
Not click bait at all, don’t be ignorant bro. The program is based around an old school bodybuilding technique, the 20 rep breathing squat. The program has worked for a lot and it is very hard. I plan on running it in February.
So you are telling me, this program allows people to gain muscle, 5 lbs per week? Implying almost 1lb per day?
Can you even gain that much with Tren?
As long as you eat right, you can expect lots of muscle growth. You are supposed to drink a gallon of milk a day and eat other foods.
The 30 lbs of muscle in 6 weeks is an exaggeration. I do believe that it is an effective program though.
You’re failing bench often, what else are you failing on?
Mainly presses, and mostly bench press, still able to increase DB shoulder press rep by rep.
But again, I perceive effort in correlation to RPE, the definition of failure should be max effort.
How often are you pushing any lift OTHER THAN pressing
Well before this new program (if you read my 7 year thread), I was going every exercise to failure every single set.
Now I am trying to follow this program a bit so mainly presses that are to failure. Leaving the other ones around RPE 9 (I perceive).
I’m white and have been fat my whole life. I lost about 70 lbs in hopes of looking good and ended up extremely skinny fat. I didn’t have an ounce of muscle on me and was weak as piss. I almost posted a picture on here the other day, we look very similar from my starting point.
I’m still fat, but the last couple years I’ve added some muscle which makes the fat look better.
Nice, good to see someone who was in a similar boat. Do you have any transformation pics?
Dem legs tho, looking great dude
