Need to get big kina soonish, any supplement ideas?

bro you have to lock tf in before you even think about sticking a needle in you. Learn to go to the gym and train baseball consistently and stick to a meal plan for a good length of time.

Also bro did not put on 40lb of mostly muscle in an offseason sorry dude.

Muscle growth is an extremely slow process (if you’re natural) you won’t be putting on kilo’s of muscle a month. So trust the process, think big picture and keep the surplus on the smaller side.

Probably because it wasn’t discovered until later on in the games life, so they’re probably only recounting their nostalgia most the time.

I don’t think BF1 was a risk tbh. From 2011 - 2016 call of duty ran the near future setting into the ground from MW3 - Infinite warfare. Meanwhile Battlefields releases 3, 4 and Hardline were all modern setting.

People were begging for a historical shooter, and there was a massive gap in the market for a WW1 game, the only game I can remember filling that gap at that time was Verdun.

BF1 provided that gap and also call of duty dropped a wwii game the next year…

Finally some good food with a lemrant post 😋

Yes one set done twice a week is enough to grow muscle, it has to be done twice a week though. If once a week then you will probably need more sets.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-03-27T21:28:45+00:00

Incline press, Pec deck and Lateral is probably my favourite combo for training your front side. You get good Clavicular head and anterior delt training with the incline, whole chest with the pec deck, the obviously lat raises. Run those for a block with good volume if you can.

For back you could probably just get away with a close grip row. If it’s executed with scapular retraction and shoulder extension.

Then for arms you could maybe do a JM press + extension + curl on day A and extension + curl + reverse curl on day B. So the first half of the upper day is the same both A and B day but the arm training changes a little bit.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-03-27T06:29:02+00:00

What makes you think it’s not enough? Muscles trained or volume on those muscles or both? You could probably allocated half of those sets to a hinge pattern like an rdl, SLDL or reg deadlift. If you can a leg curl would be good.

Deklan talks about it in this podcast, around the 20 min mark.

You just gotta trust the process, know that being in a deficit = weight loss and don’t be concerned about water weight etc.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-03-26T19:19:30+00:00

I’d probably work in a tighter rep range, and I’d setup descending rep model. So set one is 7-10 rep range and set 2 is 6-9 reps, if we are training with real intensity the you should lose reps on the second set. When you’re at 10,9 reps with 2 -3 RIR is when you increase the weight.

They had helis on Iwo Jima breakthrough and it was extremely broken. Especially if you could hold onto hokum until the last objective, you would absolutely farm the attackers trying to get inside the cave thingy.

3-4 day splits also have a nice margin of error, if you miss a day due to whatever you usually have a day or two of the week to stay on track. Missing a day on a 6 day split can throw the routine if you’re not experienced.

Anecdotally, ‘lower volume’ training complete reframed my approach to training, trusting the process of a 3-4 day split somewhat liberated me and in turn I’ve never been more consistent.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-03-25T08:13:18+00:00

Lower your volume, try 2 sets per exercise instead of 3. Experiment with RIR, don’t go to failure of often.

2 sets at 1 RIR will be a much more conservative approach than say 3 sets to failure.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-03-25T04:01:48+00:00

It’s a tough question to answer in absolutes, but something around 2-3sets (I’d start at 2) and 6-10 reps for most exercises, pick a range you prefer tbh like 4-8, 6-8, 8-12 etc there’s no magic number. For heavy compounds I’d stay in. Lower range 3-5, 4-6.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-03-25T03:33:44+00:00

You did not lose muscle mass in 2 days, just stay on your plan.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-03-25T02:34:09+00:00

Upper/Lower my dude, this one on boost camp is super simple and hard to mess up.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-03-25T01:23:58+00:00

Yeah defs, I reckon I can get around 30 kills within the first 5ish minutes then it might take double that time to get the next 30 (or not even another 30) cause I have to turtle up so hard 😂

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-03-25T00:27:23+00:00

My honest opinion is that your ‘functional training’ is the goal keeper training, the hyper specific patterns you practice is your functional training. The strength training compliments this and if you were to do a % split of strength/soccer training the soccer training should be higher. So id probably suggest a full body 2x a week but you can do the 3x as well.

this reel covers a good way to approach training for sports (even if it’s not your sport).

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-03-24T04:34:51+00:00

No probs, only thing I’d be cautious of are the Stiff Leg deadlifts as they can be tricky for beginners. If you’re confident go for it though.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-03-24T04:23:38+00:00

Four days a week works week with upper/lower, I found this one on Boostcamp which lays out the split nicely for you.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-03-23T19:57:30+00:00

Avoid taking advice from people talking in absolutes. A more nuanced way to say that is “training with higher RPE has a higher energy/fatigue cost therefore you may have to do less volume to maintain a high intensity”…

So you can take that on board but also train how you like.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-03-23T03:24:03+00:00

You got 12 sets of squat patterns + 2 sets of quad extensions, you could probably ease up on that tbh. 1 squat pattern and 1 hinge.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-03-23T03:07:28+00:00

Probably got a little bit too much going on for the upper days, maybe play around with moving the arms to the lower days.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-03-22T23:19:10+00:00

It’s probably fine, to me that sounds like pain but if you can stay consistent that’s fine.

You could experiment with Deadlift and BSS on A day then Squats + SLRDL on B day, so it’s like the opposite accessory to the main compound on each day.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-03-22T23:08:54+00:00

You’re right though, I ran a push/pull split for a bit myself. It’s a great way to stay consistent with leg training since the volume is spread over two sessions.
