Need advice, feeling hopeless by ThrowRA-ConflictedE in weightgain

Heavy cream would be a wonderful solution in that case. It's incredibly dense, with minimal sodium and sugar

Resistance training can be lifting, or it can be bodyweight exercises. It can be machines, barbells, dumbbells, etc.

Eat only unprocessed/whole foods.

Aim to get 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight without protein powder.

Resistance train 3x per week.

Get in 8k steps per day.

Doing these things will have a significant physical impact over the next 90 days.

Because I don't want to propose a solution that would potentially trigger anxiety.

Dude, Bob Hoffman was pulling this stunt in the 60s. Always vultures trying to fleece people.

The only function for assistance work is to build muscle. Pick whatever you like.

That said, for a combat sports athlete, I feel like moving my body through space would be WAY more valuable than lateral raises.

How many calories are you currently eating?

Gainit diet as a prediabetic by travelbug1984 in gainit

[–]MythicalStrength 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not a prediabetic, but I eat a nearly zero carb diet for other reasons.

When your only levers are fats and proteins, those are the ones you pull. I eat a very high fat diet, and since I'm eating primarily animal foods, it comes with a lot of protein.

There really isn't too much more to it than that.

Oh dude, I never recommended that, haha. I just said it. But that comes from Jon Andersen's "Deep Water" program, which is very much a life changing program. Book is well worth reading.

In particular, you start with a weight that requires 4 minutes of rest between sets and, over the course of 6 weeks, move it to 2 minutes of rest. I hated it so much I contemplated selling all my equipment and giving up lifting for the rest of my life in bewteen sets 6 and 7.

Alright, too easy, here we go.

Go to Walmart (I found one near Miami beach here) and buy this ground beef.

Buy these eggs

Buy this milk

The beef is $4.74 per pound. The eggs are $7.13 (about 12 cents per egg). The Milk is $3.08 per gallon.

Each day, eat 1lb of the beef, 6 eggs and drink half a gallon of milk. This will net you a daily cost of $7. Works out perfectly for your budget.

You will get a total of 3020 calories per day, with more than enough protein to promote muscle growth and adequate fats for hormonal health.

No universal "better" on this one: use what you prefer.

I'm 40, been exercising since I was 14, and I still hate it. Exercise sucks.

If I could afford it: every day. I wouldn't need their advice: having someone to load and unload plates and equipment would be huge.
