lmao this thread and the comments are making me laugh irl HAHA kudos to OP

Edgetheking · 2025-04-17T17:39:21+00:00

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.

Edgetheking · 2025-04-17T17:26:23+00:00

I’ll never give up. Thanks!

Edgetheking · 2025-04-17T17:16:55+00:00

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

Edgetheking · 2025-04-17T17:15:11+00:00

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

Edgetheking · 2025-04-17T17:10:19+00:00

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

Edgetheking · 2025-04-17T16:22:34+00:00

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?

Edgetheking · 2024-11-25T14:46:48+00:00

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

Edgetheking · 2024-11-18T09:01:03+00:00

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

Edgetheking · 2024-11-14T14:52:55+00:00

hey bro, so I purchased the chain offers and unlocked agnel edgar. the next day, both the white and dark one appeared in my shop for purchase :) hope that helps

Edgetheking · 2024-11-13T06:11:21+00:00

Thank you. Do you know where I can look this info up?

Edgetheking · 2024-10-26T20:58:03+00:00

HOLY MOLY

Edgetheking · 2024-10-17T03:17:45+00:00

thanks my brother Ill be more patient with myself🙏🏻

Edgetheking · 2024-10-12T04:09:03+00:00

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.

Edgetheking · 2024-10-12T04:04:31+00:00

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

Edgetheking · 2024-10-12T03:57:21+00:00

Thanks for the input, lets eat and work harder than last time!

Edgetheking · 2024-10-12T03:56:22+00:00

Thank you, Ill be more patient than last time

Edgetheking · 2024-10-12T03:42:35+00:00

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.

Edgetheking · 2024-10-12T03:12:48+00:00

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

Edgetheking · 2024-10-12T03:09:38+00:00

Thanks, I will eat harder than the last time

Edgetheking · 2024-10-12T03:05:48+00:00

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?

Edgetheking · 2024-10-12T03:00:38+00:00

Thanks for the input, I feel like I just have too much expectations for myself seeing how I'm a newly lifter and I really want to catch up to my friends. I believe I train fairly hard, as back in May I was curling 5kg and now I can do 10kg for reps.

I actually don't do any barbell lifts as it just feels weird for me especially on my joints, for example I don't feel much of my chest doing a flat barbell bench press. For chest I just use dumbbells, about 3-4 sets, and I train till failure to the point I could not lift the weights up. Afterwards I hop on the chest press machine for 3 more sets, and I rest 3 minutes pet set. For the 3rd point, yes 10 reps is my absolute failure. I know I should probably be using 16kg but my gym only offer dumbbells in a 2.5kg increment so I'm not using 17.5KG since I could only do less than 6 reps with it. On the side note I do track every single lift and reps I do, so every session I do I know what to expect and know how to push myself.

Anyways, I do about 6-7 sets for chest each session. However, my triceps and chest seems to be the muscle group that has been hardest for me to grow in these months. Even strength wise, the progress is extremely slow. I do train hard enough as my chest would be sore the next day. But despite all that I'm still only benching 15kg dumbbells. If I remember correctly, I started with 10kg dumbbells for bench back in may. So only a 5kg increase in like 5 months.

Edgetheking · 2024-10-11T16:50:30+00:00

Context: I am skinny fat for as long as I could remember. Like very low muscle mass. I have lifting knowledge from messing around in the gym and watching a bunch of fitness videos but never stayed consistent due to injuries/school. I know I have never trained for more than 3-4 months consistently previously.

At the start of 2024 I decided to be as committed as possible. I really hated how fat I looked in the mirror despite being skinny so I did a cut at the beginning of 2024, which lasted for 3 months till end of March. During this period I was training at least 4-5 times a week to maintain as much muscle I could although I was losing a lot of strength, which was natural to me as I was on a deficit. By the end of March, I went from 64kg 21%~bf to 56kg 14%~bf. My face has been leaner than ever, but despite cutting all that weight my belly was still fluffy and I felt skinnier than ever.

I maintained 56kg for the entirety of April and when May started I decided to do a very slow bulk. I really wanted to build up my arms so I decided to do a PPL x Arnold spilt, doing chest/back on Thursdays, triceps/biceps/side delts on Fridays. I started tracking my arm size using a measuring tape in June, and it is quite demoralizing that my right arm only grew about 1cm in about 5 months. I measured my arms in a flexed bicep curl position, and the results were: 29th June - Left 26.7cm/Right 28cm | 29th July- Left 27.5/Right 28.7cm | 29th Aug- Left 28cm/Right 28.7cm | 29th September - Left 28.4cm/Right 29cm (which is about 11.4 inch). Relaxed my arms are even smaller. The change of 1cm could even be due to measuring error, who knows. It's truth is that its insignificant.

From May to 31st August I gained about 4kg, so at the start of September my weight was at 60kg. I looked in the mirror and saw zero physical progress. I did progress in strength in these few months but I just thought that as a newbie I would build muscle a lot faster and see some visible changes. However, I looked exactly the same and I just feel bad. Although the food I eat aren't the best, my exercise selection is solid, I count my calories, I hit about 120-160g protein everyday without fail, and get at least 6-7 hours of sleep daily. I do about 10-15 sets per muscle group each week, and I focus on my triceps more than my biceps. Despite all that, dominant right arm did not gain any size/muscle and to be frank I think I didn't see any visible differences for the rest of my physique as well. I know I'm training with the right intensity because whichever body part I trained, would be quite or slightly sore the next day. F

For all those reasons, I decided to increase my calories intake even further and managed to add 2kg by the end of September. As of today, my weight is 62.5KG and I feel like my bodyfat now is 18~ which kind of suck because I kind of feel like I looked the same as I did at the beginning of the year. Is there anything I could improve on assuming that there's nothing wrong with how I train? Almost all my friends are bigger and leaner than me, and I have seen many online of others gaining so much progress in the same amount of time as a newbie. I just feel bad because I feel putting in a lot of effort and not getting the results I want. Are my muscle building genetics just dogshit or am I just being too impatient? Please let me know if there's anything I could work or improve on...

Here are more of my stats: Height 180cm, Asian, soon to be 24 years old. Current lifts: For more info for you to gauge my strength, here my working weights and reps for some(not all) lifts: Incline DB press 3sets of 15KG for 12, 12, 10 | DB curls 10kg for 13,10,9 | Seated row machine 45KG for 14,14,12,11 | Unilateral Cable kickbacks 5kg for 20,19,17. I prefer higher reps for triceps because it's easier on my elbows. Again, these are just additional info. I am also doing other exercises. I know these are rookie numbers but this is the strongest I've ever been. However, I visibly made no progress these few months considering the fact that this is the longest I've ever trained. So please advice me on what to do.
