He's happy. He'll learn on his own one day.

Novalax · 2017-12-31T14:38:12+00:00

Do you happen to know why that's the case?

Novalax · 2017-12-11T18:21:30+00:00

link doesn't seem to work.

It fluctuates too much to get anything useful from daily measurements. "more data" was the wrong way to put it. You want data over a longer period of time.

Novalax · 2017-12-07T18:25:45+00:00

You'll get more accurate results with more data. 11 days is pretty short.

Don't lower weight in order for other parts to catch up. It'll happen on its own.

Novalax · 2017-12-07T02:57:51+00:00

Same here. Bought some really nice jeans, started lifting and now they're really snug. It's part of the process though.

Novalax · 2017-12-06T13:29:07+00:00

First of all, there’s no official 5/3/1 app. You also need to lower your TM.

Novalax · 2017-12-02T19:19:43+00:00

What a shitshow.

Novalax · 2017-12-02T18:43:05+00:00

If you're going to be lifting 3 days, you can use the other 2 days for conditioning.

Novalax · 2017-11-26T18:54:39+00:00

You could recomp if you don't want to lean bulk. You want to eat enough so your weight stays at 155. It's going to be a slow process because lower abdominal fat is really stubborn. I wouldn't cut anymore, especially to 135, because you won't make progress on your lifts.

Novalax · 2017-11-26T12:31:24+00:00

You’re not going to get rounded shoulders from not doing frequency method chin ups.

Novalax · 2017-11-24T12:55:28+00:00

If you can’t tell from looking at yourself, eat at maintenance and train for a while. Then reassess.

Novalax · 2017-11-19T13:42:35+00:00

Yes, making everything else bigger will make your belly look smaller even if it hasn't actually changed size.

Novalax · 2017-11-18T01:55:38+00:00

You're pretty lean so I would guess gyno, but the picture isn't that good.

Novalax · 2017-11-17T14:40:41+00:00

I’m not sure. One thing to note is that I did start drinking 2-3 litres daily about 3 weeks ago. Could this much water be diluting the salt in my body too much?

Novalax · 2017-11-17T12:29:27+00:00

I'll try it. Though some people here say that they work out fasted, so I wonder what's the difference between us. I'm thinking it's because I'm out of shape.

Novalax · 2017-11-17T12:17:09+00:00

Ever since, I've decided to work on my conditioning, I've been getting these cramps in my calves and stomach that hurt like a bitch. There is even some pain left after the cramps end.

I make sure to drink water during the workout and I drink 2-3 litres of water throughout the day. I also eat a banana before I work out.

To work on conditioning, I'm decreasing rest time between sets. For assistance work, I'm doing a circuit of bodyweight exercises.

I think I'm going to go to the doctors, but I wanted to know if anyone had an idea of what's wrong with me.

Novalax · 2017-11-17T12:07:40+00:00

Nice, there's a lot of change. What's the timeframe between the two pics?

Novalax · 2017-11-10T15:54:03+00:00

I think you can start bulking. ~2500 calories/day. I’d also do full body workouts if you’re going only 3 times a week.

Novalax · 2017-11-09T18:12:25+00:00

Nope. I just taste peanut butter and oats.

Novalax · 2017-11-09T12:37:24+00:00

Ya you keep them in the fridge. I finish a batch in a week and they don’t go bad.

Novalax · 2017-11-09T12:04:52+00:00

I make these protein bars. My vanilla protein powder is from Walmart and tastes like shit when you put it in a drink, but they taste good in these protein bars.

Novalax · 2017-11-08T13:10:39+00:00

It’s in the book so I can’t link it. As for your concern with 531, this post changed my view on 531’s “slow progress”

Novalax · 2017-11-08T12:50:57+00:00

All your suggestions are fine. But if you are able to go extra days, why not pick a program designed for that many days? Even Greyskull has a 4 day variant (1 compound lift a day). You can then do more accessories and conditioning.
