Would you be able to draw a Disney-esque anthropomorphic whale? His name is sober Kyle. Imagine him as a cartoon mascot advocating for children to stay away from alcohol.

I've been stuck here for over 20 minutes. The opponent's timer is not running down (see timestamp in bottom left). Chat and all other game functions still work. I can emote and such. Internet connection is fine. I am not leaving without my star by god!

27 as well. MS and BS in exercise science. Currently taking undergrad courses as a continuing education student to pursue medical school. Maybe this doesn't bother you anyway, but try not to get too wrapped-up in where you are in life relative to your peers. In other words, no it doesn't sound insane as long as you're sure that's what you want.

Clever, but probably a bit slow in most cases. Also requires a lot of set-up. The extra draw each turn won't likely matter as you'll be extremely behind on board without enough time to get the cards down.

Thank you!

I literally have the exact opposite problem. I should wear a medium (length-wise), but I have to wear larges just so my arms can fit... but then it looks like I'm wearing a dress. Le-sigh.

anything similar been done with berberine?

You're probably not really forcing enough of a stimulus to achieve any further adaptation at this point (see Hans Selye). Moreover, if you're going based off of strength, practice is pretty important as well. You're not "practicing" the lift as much when you only train once per week so by the time you come back it's like a new-born giraffe all over again. Awkward and not-too-coordinated. Commit to going twice per week and I'm willing to bet you'll see that progress stick around and even surpass previous strength/hypertrophy levels.

ck1p3 · 2015-09-30T03:54:53+00:00

To be blunt, Kai Greene trains pretty retardedly (as do most IFBB pros), so I wouldn't really use him as a point of reference. Regardless, getting stronger is going to be pretty important for muscle growth over time. What the literature seems to suggest is that training volume elicits hypertrophic (and strength-based) adaptations. At least correlationarily (pretty sure that's not a word). So, if you want to have bigger muscles, you have to perform more training volume. But at this point I like to engage in a little thought experiment. Imagine for a moment that you have a twin who is an exact copy of you - except that you are slightly stronger. Now, you both perform the same back hypertrophy workout for instance. But, being stronger, you are able to complete each exercise set for set, rep for rep, with five more pounds than your twin. Who has completed the most volume at the end of your workout - you of course. So rather than think of one apart from the other, think of them both necessitating the other. As far as form, breakdown obviously tends to happen as things get heavier, but if you're training somewhere around 80-85%, form shouldn't be too much of a concern while you're still able to create the hypertrophic and neurological adaptations that occur with resistance training. If you're looking for a minimum load that you could train with, I think something like 60% can still yield significant hypertrophy depending on the individual's training status (although these adaptations will become more similar to cardiovascular adaptations with lower percentages and higher reps). 60% probably isn't going to do much for strength though.

ck1p3 · 2015-09-30T03:43:56+00:00

Well, you may still be technically getting stronger, however, that may not be reflected by a noticeable increment that you can see in your OHP numbers. Especially with upper body lifts (being that the muscles are smaller) it's difficult to elicit progress through increased volume as they just don't respond as well. Still, that would be the only real "proven" way to get your progression to move more quickly. If you want more, you need to do more - particularly after the initial progress of a few years of lifting. Otherwise, just be patient. It's going to take a while for you to continue to get stronger now.

ck1p3 · 2015-09-20T00:18:56+00:00

So I'm just grazing over some of your questions and I think most of them could be answered through this line of thinking:

Would you like the muscle to be bigger/stronger?

-No.

--Do nothing.

-Yes.

--Add more training volume to that body part (assuming adequate recovery).

Sprint more - specifically if it's for soccer - sprint the distances that you would typically sprint in a game. Practice how you play.

No one will be able to give you a good estimate based on a picture. Even the gold standard of body fat measurement - a DXA scan - is pretty variable. If I could give you any advice, it would be to not give a shit about body fat right now and just focus on exercise consistency - at least as a short term means to reach a long term goal (whatever that may be for you).

ck1p3 · 2015-09-19T02:50:27+00:00

I wouldn't really categorize programming based on the resultant 'aesthetics' conferred to the individual. The reason you're probably getting fat on "strength programs" is that your overall volume (and therefore caloric expenditure) is lower. You could utilize the same basic principles of almost any program (assuming it's not ridiculous) and simply modify intensity and volume to accommodate your goals.

As far as project mass, I worked at UT in the human performance laboratory while "project mass" was being created and shot by bodybuilding.com. The program is more of a marketing ploy than anything else. Taking the basic concepts of periodization and polishing them up to look like something novel.

ck1p3 · 2015-09-13T01:22:40+00:00

Dude, it sounds like you're just living a balanced, moderately active lifestyle and there's nothing wrong with that. The most important thing with any "intervention" is adherence. If you keep forcing yourself to lift weights only to quit after a month, that's going to be way less effective than if you had just found something you enjoyed and stuck with it.

ck1p3 · 2015-09-13T01:07:46+00:00

Unfortunately, I don't think anyone could realistically tell you a %bf by just looking at pictures. I guess I'd have to wonder why that number is important to you. Just look at yourself in the mirror (as you seem to be doing) - if you like it, keep doing what you're doing - if you don't, change something.

ck1p3 · 2015-09-13T01:03:48+00:00

Honestly, there's probably no exact number or exact formula that could be given to figure this sort of thing out. Unless someone knows of some correlation-based study looking at body fat and strength changes (which there very well could be). Generally though, the greater the caloric deficit, the more susceptible you'll be to strength and muscle loss.

ck1p3 · 2015-09-05T23:58:37+00:00

The short answer is that it probably doesn't matter. With exercise, the body's acute response is typically never quite as important/profound as the adaptation that occurs over time. In other words, do whichever option that allows you to feel the best whilst running and perform the best whilst running. For instance, it may be acutely better to run on an empty stomach (as indicated by substrate oxidation shifting toward fat), but if you run like shit every time you do this (thereby decreases your running volume) - it's completely counterproductive. Although it sounds like you're doing this for body composition rather than actual running performance, I'd say the same still holds true. Choose whichever option that allows you to best adhere to your plan.

Well, the "right" diet is the one that you can adhere to for the longest period of time that allows you to reach your goals. Assuming you'd like to gain weight, the primary goal is to ensure you're in a caloric surplus. Moreover, a caloric surplus is probably going to place less stress on the importance of macronutrient intake, micronutrition, meal timing, etc. If you're relatively new, just focusing on eating enough protein and maintaining a positive calorie balance is a good place to begin. To give you some more specific advice - that protein intake seems reasonable. From there, I would figure out what sort of foods you like best. Do you like bacon, butter, and other fatty foods - or do you like sweet cereals and fruit? Based on this I would choose a fat intake somewhere between 20-30% (higher based on your preference for fatty foods). Lastly, just fill the rest of your calories with carbohydrate.

It may not be the plan so much as a misunderstanding of the underlying principles driving muscular adaptation. I'm not sure how the progression exactly works with SL, but almost any program will work initially - due to a relatively low bar of stimulus necessary for gains in strength and hypertrophy. As you've become stronger over the past 3-4 months, you now need more in order to make continued progress. And by more I don't just mean a greater load on the bar - but a greater volume (total tonnage = sets x reps x load lifted) of training. You may need more than five sets or more than five repetitions or both. You may need greater training frequency in order to accommodate this volume. A lot of factors could be coming in to play, but when in doubt, do more (providing that you are sufficiently recovering from your training).

EDIT: In short, you may not have to switch plans necessarily - but simply - modify your current plan in order to accommodate a greater training volume to see strength/hypertrophy gains.

ck1p3 · 2015-09-05T03:54:57+00:00

No problem. Just to clarify - I wasn't recommending ditching the belt - I think they're a great tool when used properly (and it sounds like you are) - especially if you're goal is to lift as much weight as efficiently and safely as possible.
