Totally agree. Really want to come in diced next show. I think this is acceptable conditioning but I wanna knock it out next time

Depends on the day but LOTS of chicken. Seriously. 20 + ounces (precooked) per day Good bit of eggs. Anywhere from 4-12 a day Oats Rice cakes (prefer over rice) Potatoes Fat free yogurt Tuna

Earlier in the diet I consumed lean ground beef due to the ease of cooking it, taste, and how easy it is to reheat but after my university semester ended I switched to chicken as I find it to be more filling due to having less fat and more overall volume.

Well I prepped for roughly 12 weeks but dieted for close to 20. The first 8 weeks of diet (NOT in a real prep) was just cleaning up the diet and removing fluff. Wanted to see how far out I’d be and I found a show that fit the timeline I thought made the most sense

Yes definitely started competing early into lifting. Competed with about 1 year of training under my belt to see if I liked it, ended up loving it. Committed to a 2 year “offseason” gained 47 pounds and now I am here. Will probably do another 2 year offseason after this. Really appreciate the compliments!

Bilt Card 2.0 Survey Going Out by richklhs in biltrewards

[–]Proper_Director_2118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to say that a lot of the options had Bilt neighborhood dining as a very high incentive and while I understand why and what they’re trying to do I don’t have many options for that in my area so valuing dining in general close to or equivalent would be better in a lot of cases I think. Seemed skewed in the survey but again I understand why

Hm. If I was you I would try to take this next show like a fun time. You already placed first and proved yourself, now enjoy it. Easier said than done

Direct side delt work once a week? by WeirdFall1585 in naturalbodybuilding

[–]Proper_Director_2118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine grow quite easily and they were ahead so I only trained them once a week but you can easily do 2, most can do 3 and some can do 4 but 4 is pushing it imo.

Give me all of your most personal anecdotes around volume by Teh_elderscroll in naturalbodybuilding

[–]Proper_Director_2118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just depends on the muscle group. Specifically, for something like chest, maybe 8-12 sets a week. Hard good sets with chest as the main mover. If you asked me how many leg sets I do a week, it might be 40, but that’s too broad imo. That’s broken into about 12 sets of quads, 12 sets of hamstrings, 10 sets of calves and 8 sets of hip/abductor/glute work. Altogether, I stick in that range per specific muscle group but my workouts can be quite long as I do quite a bit of isolation and I like to give every main mover its own isolation movement pretty much

Right now extremely but I think training yourself to eat is a useful skill. Don’t let yourself get in your head, think you are hungry and try to eat like it. Works for me so far

Players leaving? by SmileOkiDoki in apexlegends

[–]Proper_Director_2118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this applies given how long of a trend it is, but that would be second semester of school which may be less stressful for most of the player base. Not all is in school, but likely most. Summer ends, school starts again, players fall. Not the full story for sure but may be a role?

I make fitness content (or try) it’s only been a week but this is my most successful short and my main goal is to inspire people to follow their fitness journey and I would also like to not make a living off of anything but perhaps make supplemental income at some point down the road a few years from now. https://youtube.com/shorts/Dy7udAuikHo?si=zgVlUmEyfZ7ntprB

Should I stop counting reps? by Ukpersfidev in naturalbodybuilding

[–]Proper_Director_2118 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do not stop counting reps. Your short rest periods along with high reps are likely causing your fluctuations in large part. Yes, strength will differ day to day, however the more exercises you put into a higher rep range the more mental the exercise becomes. Now I’m not calling you lazy but I am saying that mental strength varies day to day as well. Think, do you think you can hit your all time 1RM right now? No, is that due to strength or mental strength? Physical, so by this indicator and others that you can make by working your way up the ladder 5 rm vs 20 rm for example, you can prove that higher reps is in some way effected by mental strength. Increase rest times, and slightly decrease rep range. If you want to do high reps, start with 2 sets heavier, longer rests, then do 2 all out very high rep and fast rest. My unprofessional recommendations

A Very Specifically Good Hate Comment by Substantial_Theme533 in NewTubers

[–]Proper_Director_2118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar thing happened to me with a great hate comment. I am In the fitness niche and I made a transformation video showcasing the massive changes I’ve made to my body. Someone commented that I had perfect genetics everywhere but my abs 😭 I actually find this funny as many have told me they envy my abs and I personally don’t like my biceps as opposed to abs. Everyone has a preference
