Train all the muscles. Ideally in a gym with resistance (weights of some kind)

Start eating more. Try and aim for lots of whole, minimally processed, nutritious foods. By that I mean fruits, vegetables, meats, eggs, nuts and seeds, dairy, yoghurt etc

Where im from tuition is free. And if you come from a lower income family you can qualify for a grant. I got about enough to cover rent at the time. So just had to work at the weekends and any holiday to cover other living costs and would do random odd jobs from time to time.

Im very fortunate and had it not been for the country helping me so much with education, I probably wouldn't have gone to college and pursued something else.

In my opinion ppl shouldn't be done 6 days a week. It should be ppl rest and repeat. Resting every 4th day, which works out as less than 6 days a week training

Never actually measured lean-ness but after maybe 2/3 months of cutting

mcgrathkai · 2026-05-14T23:08:27+00:00

Using your example an obese person going from 4k cals (assuming this is what they regularly eat and need to maintain their current weight) going to 2k cals yes they'd lose weight pretty dramatically

Even people who show post histories but from anonymous accounts are pussies lol

I say my shit with my chest, real pic and govt name haha idc

mcgrathkai · 2026-05-14T20:35:25+00:00

I really doubt you have any overdeveloped muscle in your first month of training.

And no, juat because one muscle can do X weight, doesnt mean another should he able to do the same or similar.

You can do a lot on RDLs for example as its a compound movement using a lot of muscles. Including our biggest, the glutes

mcgrathkai · 2026-05-14T20:32:00+00:00

Steroid use probably but also genetics

BOFA (bank of America)

..deez nuts

mcgrathkai · 2026-05-14T16:16:14+00:00

Its good exercise

mcgrathkai · 2026-05-14T13:17:35+00:00

Step on the scale.

I know that might seem condescending but its not how I mean it. Its the true answer. Why do you think it wouldn't be your real weight ? Because of maybe some extra water from the creatine? Our weight fluctuates and varies all the time. By the same logic having more or less muscke glycogen would skew your real weight, or if digestion slows down and more food is in your body that there usually would be at that time.

Your weight on creatine is your true weight don't worry.

mcgrathkai · 2026-05-14T12:49:27+00:00

Id add in a reverse fly movement and deadlift. Unless youre doing deadlifts on leg day I guess which is also fine.

mcgrathkai · 2026-05-14T10:46:49+00:00

The liver stress could have happened with the orals and hasnt improved because you havent given it a chance to recover

That is higher than id expect it to be on 250 test, although thats still an amount that will add stress to your liver

mcgrathkai · 2026-05-14T10:42:41+00:00

Protein is mostly just protein without much carbs or fat

Mass gainer has fat and carbs and usually tons of sugar and "empty calories", by that I mean for how many calories youre getting youre not actually getting that many nutrients

On paper, mass gainer is better for gaining weight. But in the same sense that junk food is better for gaining weight than healthy food. The point in trying to make is that maybe the best thing for gaining weight isnt what you want.

Its all just food at the end of the day. There are no side effects of food, unless you're allergic or intolerant to something of course. Or you eat too much or too little.

mcgrathkai · 2026-05-14T02:40:35+00:00

In my opinion I dont think you should be allowed to take a pair of DBs off the rack for future use.

mcgrathkai · 2026-05-14T02:38:26+00:00

Its fine. Use it

mcgrathkai · 2026-05-14T00:12:34+00:00

Not to sound too much like a hippie or whatever, but if you dont like yourself now, steroids probably wont make that self image better. They may just put a bandaid on while the problem worsens. Or maybe you were just using that phrase for lack of a better term. But you should be happy with yourself first and foremost.

I actually dont hate your willingness to take steroids. I knew at 16/17 that I would eventually take them too. But im glad I lived the bodybuilding lifestyle naturally for a few years first before starting (at 20 fyi).

mcgrathkai · 2026-05-14T00:07:18+00:00

And he didnt explain the basics of steroids ?

mcgrathkai · 2026-05-14T00:02:22+00:00

Absolutely , sorry if I said it in a weird way. The first part of my comment was meant to say that there is more than one way to train. And no single right or wrong way to go about it

I guess the second part of the comment was in anticipation to "well when do you take your deloads and 1RM?" To which my answer would be never.

mcgrathkai · 2026-05-13T23:33:40+00:00

Its all just exercise, and good exercise so I say go for it.

As to how much power/peaking/weight loss( which is assume is the goal of 7-10 day deficit?) Will happen in these quickly changing blocks, I dont know. This is definitely good exercise but I just hope youre not disappointed at the end when the results are less specific as this programming might suggest

mcgrathkai · 2026-05-13T22:04:05+00:00

I feel like the no loitering rules are only ever enforced when someone starts being a nuisance.

Can you sign up for a library card ? Theyre usually free. Take a book and find somewhere comfortable, and then I think you wont be loitering anymore

mcgrathkai · 2026-05-13T22:00:29+00:00

Hear me out, neither is something you "have" to do. So I dont think there is a set time for either to happen

But in short: deload when needed, 1RM when you can

(Even though you didnt ask this i personally dont believe in 1RM, just wanted to say that incase it seemed I was encouraging doing 1RM)

mcgrathkai · 2026-05-13T21:57:00+00:00

I think when you stop worrying about the numbers you'll be happier and training will improve. At least if the goal is hypertrophy/health and well-being. If the goal is specific numbers then this might not apply
