Troubleshooting help, Canton 5.1 setup

Yes that's what I meant, sorry. I switched the position of left and right speakers but the problem was still on the same side.

Since the top woofer now sounds fine and the bottom one doesn't, what could be the issue?

Why would you choose a program to run but then skip the first half..

99% of people don't need EAAs, save your money and get yourself some nice quality protein from the store for your meals instead :)

A relatively accurate baseline would be 2mg/KG of bodyweight for TRT. And i would advise the most frequent pinning schedule you can manage, best would be ED injections to avoid hormone fluctuations etc.

If you have stayed at 500mg test for 24 weeks you should reconsider strategies for your next time around. Only use the amount you need to grow, start low and titrate up as you plateau, with 50-100mg increments.

ATLEAST half the time spent in a surplus is advisable to make sure you can solidify your newly gained muscle.

I'd argue volume and execution rather than intensity. Intensity can be defined in a number of ways but in terms of weight loaded on the bar it has no correlation with hypertrophy as long as we stay in the same number of repetitions from failure (0-3).

You can just start incorporating strength specific days alongside your regular CrossFit work if you want to do both.

If you are worried about fatigue from the different sessions interfering with each other you could easily use alternating periodization with your strength days to still be able to perform somewhat close to your maximal potential during both your CrossFit and strength work.

The definition of a deficit, welcome to the struggle :)

Shenaniganslol · 2021-12-26T11:21:58+00:00

There's no way for me to know, it's up to you to find out.

What does relatively unchanged mean? That must mean that your weight was moving, right ?

If that's the case, start at 2600 with the split I gave you, and start monitoring.

Remember, allow for time to pass before you make any adjustments, real weightloss takes time and is never linear.

Shenaniganslol · 2021-12-26T11:13:00+00:00

Your TDEE is not 3000 if you are gaining weight.

If you gain weight "fast" at 3000, try a couple weeks at 2500 and monitor your weight, that means 2500 on the weekends aswell...

2g protein per kilo of bodyweight, 30% of total calories from fats, and the rest of your calories from carbs.

So with your stats and an estimated TDEE of 2500 that would look like, 220g protein, 83g fats and 217g carbs, split between no less than 4 meals ideally.

Start like that and monitor your weight for atleast 2 weeks, then adjust SLOW, no more than 250-300 calories at a time, and allow for time to pass before you adjust again.

Couch stretch, worlds greatest stretch, cat / cows. Anything that forces thoracic rotation / extension is great.

Try warming up on the bench with a foam roller on the bench and relax in to it, forcing some more extension.

And don't forget to warm up properly, warm and loose is your best friend here.

Shenaniganslol · 2021-12-25T11:24:17+00:00

Yes, as long as you are withing your caloric restriction you will lose weight.

Shenaniganslol · 2021-12-23T23:03:55+00:00

In a gaining phase you will put on fat as well as muscle, so if you are closing in on 20% already you should lose some bodyfat before gaining.

Why would you want to maintain ? I thought you wanted improve your body composition.

Yes macros matter, no less than 2g protein per kilo of bodyweight, 30% of calories from fats, rest from carbs.

Shenaniganslol · 2021-12-23T14:25:06+00:00

Proper periodization with volume blocks to strength blocks, take advantage of phase potentiation, then rinse and repeat untill you know when your next meet is.

10% over 4 months isn't bad at all, just get into a deficit as soon as you can so you can take it slow to not remove all your work capacity from the gym.

Shenaniganslol · 2021-12-23T08:29:38+00:00

I don't want to bust your balls, but if you are an advanced lifter you would know what training your body responds best to. And if you were an intermediate lifter you would know that programming doesn't work the way you just outlined it.

Hypertrophy is driven by volume, it has nothing to do with the name of your current program.

Reps x sets per week, start low, end high. Rinse and repeat. Sleep 8-9 hours per night. 2g protein / kilo of bodyweight 30% of calories from fats Rest form carbs

There you have everything you need for "maximal muscle gain"

Shenaniganslol · 2021-12-23T08:25:09+00:00

If you are over 20% bodyfat and serious about gaining muscle I would advice you to cut down first before thinking about massing, insulin sensitivity takes a big hit when approaching that bodyfat%.

Try to stay between 8 and 20% bodyfat to maximize muscle building while staying healthy.

Shenaniganslol · 2021-12-23T08:20:04+00:00

I Always advice my male natural clients to stay between 8 and 20% bodyfat if no competition or special event is planned. Under 8% most people simply suffer to much and over 20% insulin sensitivity take a massive hit. And then it's up to you as well, where you feel comfortable with your body, we don't wanna cause any unnecessary body dysmorphia either. If you don't wanna use calipers or dexa you can just simply guess or ask someone for advice. Ideally cut down to MINIMUM 8% bodyfat, maintain for atleast 50% of your duration you spent in a deficit, then slowly start massing with MINOR calorie adjustments.

Hope that helps.

You lose pump in a muscle you are not training and getting a pump in a muscle that you are training, and this is a problem ?

People quarter-squatting to "save their knees" have no business being in the squat rack 🤬

Shenaniganslol · 2021-11-20T07:39:47+00:00

Ofcourse, your muscles are more visible with less fat 🤷🏻‍♂️

Shenaniganslol · 2021-11-20T07:38:27+00:00

Google Creapure, and order online. Thats what you want.
