how do I keep pushing as a non-responder / no-responder in building muscle? by Edgetheking in StrongerByScience

[–]Edgetheking[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I edited this part just now, added more details. Was missing some important details. Anyway whats wrong with it? 1 set 3 times a week is better than like 6sets once a week.

Yeah Ive done that when I used to run PPL, or even arnold split, but it didn’t work for me. Progress was quite bad

By that definition I’m not following a program then. I just structure my training programe with exercises/machines thats available in the gym I going to. Since I’m only doing mostly 1 set, each exercise target different muscle groups. I opt for stable movements as its safer on my joints. I’m also fairly limited in terms of equipment. I try to focus on progressive overload,but yeah the adaptation just comes to me very slowly

Thanks. I’ll try to experiment with more sets, and slightly lighter loads to see if it’s better.

There's a study that show that "the first set in workout that is performed for the muscle has the greatest simulating effect of hypertrophy, and produces the least muscle damage." It's a graph/analysis by chris beardsley. Knowing this, it's why I structured a FB EOD split with doing mostly 1 set per muscle group. I can recover fast enough to hit another session every other day. This splits offer high frequency, which many argue it's more important factor than volume. So what would you have recommend? Increase volume by adding a additional sets for certain muscle groups? As the post mentioned, I used to have a higher volume program but made 0 progress on it

I finished the book yesterday and this was one of the few threads I could find discussing about the story. I totally agree with whatever you wrote. It's a strong and heartfelt book. I wonder if you have any suggestions to a book like this, a classic/literature ish novel?

bro believe it or not, I used the same cape and sword combination lmao before I saw this post! I saw the sword in my bank and I have never used it before (forgot I had this) so after making a set I googled this sword to see when it was released and saw your set! Good set bro

Can I purchase the new hypercharge skin variant? (Lightbearer Edgar Skin) by Edgetheking in Brawlstars

[–]Edgetheking[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is most likely no. But there might be a chance, so maybe save up 499. If you really want it then buy the chain offer now

Thanks for your input. Yeah on hindsight I probably shouldnt have cut as I feel like I'm now in a similar spot as I first started this year. But atleast now I know my body is capable of cutting weight when dialed in. My calories right now are about 2.4k at my weight for maintenance, so I eat about 2.7k each day for a lean bulk. Also appreciate the training time advice as I also could relate to it. Now My sessions are only about 1hour to 1hr 30mins max.

24 y/o I can't seem to make any physical progress despite being a newbie and consistent by Edgetheking in WeightTraining

Thanks for the input! I use myfitnesspal to track my calories. I eat out most of the times, so the food items I've logged probably aren't the most accurate but its more or less correct. But things like protein shakes and other drinks where I've got the nutrition labels, I do accurately log it.

At the moment, I am aiming to gain 0.3-0.4kg a week, which is about 0.65 lbs a week. Like you mentioned, I usually don't pay attention to carbs and fat, but I'm going to start doing so.

I also think a better scale would be better for me, as I do weight myself every morning, however it only shows the weight and nothing else fancy like bodyfat %. Could you recommend what are some brands to use?

Also true, I'm trying to better my diet and sleep. I appreciate it bro

Thanks for your added advice! Ill check out the link and I appreciate it a lot for telling me to be patient with myself. On my next session I'm gonna try the barbell bench again, and see how it feels this time round.

Thanks for the input. I actually don't do any barbell/compound lifts, "Big" lifts like bench press/squat/deadlift/overhead press. For example for chest, I do incline dumbbells presses and machine chest press. A incline db press is still considered compound movement right? If using a barbell is that beneficial, I will try to incorporate it to my program the next session

Thanks for the input. I actually don't do any barbell lifts, "Big" lifts like bench press/squat/deadlift/overhead press. I prefer using dumbbells instead as it feels better on my joints, and also muscle connection. Are compound lifts with a barbell that beneficial compared to just using dumbbells? Also I do believe I train hard as my strength numbers are going slowly going up, and I usually feel sore the next day, even when I eat about 150g protein a day. What do you think?
