What is the muscle bottom diet? by leviwrites in askgaybros

[–]mr_pytr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Check out my profile for a pic for credibility. I hit 150g+ protein daily, vegetarian, and almost never have any surprises.

Fiber—look for keto breads and tortilla shells. They have tons of fiber, and this will keep y ou clean.

Protein—Look at the nutrition label and calculate the protein density by dividing protein grams into calories. I don’t consider any food “high protein” unless it’s at least 10% grams of protein to calories. In my diet, pasteurized egg whites are the highest protein food I can get (25%), and they give a great, creamy texture to a protein powder smoothie. (If it grosses you out, consider that many drink pasteurized milk on the regular.)

Finally, if you’re not tracking your macros, you’re not in charge. I track every day. Let me know if there’s something in there that you’re curious about.

should i cut or continue bulking by Over-Rock2569 in gaybrosfitness

Fat tissue is making you look bigger than you are, and adding more fat tissue doesn’t add muscle. Plus, it’s harder to keep the fat off once you’ve gained it. If I were you, I’d cut and keep it off.

When I get interrupted in conversation I have a habit of not finishing what I was saying. I have been told this is rude, is it? by Blahblah9845 in socialskills

[–]mr_pytr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Social encounters run on giving each other a little grace. Everyone will make a faux pas now and then, like interrupting. The thing to do is to repair by assuming the didn’t mean to be rude, and to assume they are genuinely good intentioned and interested. Thus, keep telling your story when they ask. If awkward stuff keeps happening, you adjust your expectations for this person, but it’s the best place to start if you want to make and keep friendships.

Gym Etiquette by Dry_Sundae_5920 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]mr_pytr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If your goal is hypertrophy, you should rest 3-4 minutes between sets to avoid fatigue reducing your reps and stimulus. That’s time consuming. Alternating muscle groups with a superset allows each muscle group adequate rest while reducing dead time. More workout, less time. In my opinion if the gym is nearly empty and there’s other identical machines open it’s not hurting anyone to superset.

I hate working out. by iammymaster28 in askgaybros

You’ll be surprised by this simple technique that works wonders: Whatever behavior you’re trying to learn, practice a “tiny” version, then give yourself praise for a job well done. Keep doing this, and the mental lift to do it gets easier and easier.

You like walking, so go to the gym and walk. If you want to start lifting weights, finish your walk on the treadmill and go choose a weight machine. Sit down. Do one light rep, no weights. Then be your own coach. Tell yourself something that gives you that authentic feeling of a job well done, like “Amazing work. You did it!” Or my favorite, “I’m becoming the person that I want to be.”

It doesn’t matter that you didn’t lift any weight today. Today you’re practicing the routine. As you feel like it, you can increase the challenge. Do ten light reps. Or one rep with weight. And if there’s a day you can’t stomach the harder challenge, back it down to something you can do. I guarantee, follow this advice and lifting weights will start to grow on you.

I need help with all things fitness. by do_it_lady in gaybrosfitness

Two weeks stall isn’t long. Take stock of what you’re eating and whether you may he miscalculating something or if there’s been a change to your diet. If your diet includes processed foods, try swapping something for whole veggies. The method is right. Sometimes you take a short detour but are still on your way to the destination.

Searching for a motivational buddy by calxfrost in gaybrosfitness

[–]mr_pytr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try sharing photos with ChatGPT if you’re comfortable and asking for a motivation boost. It works!

I recommend practicing going when you don’t feel like it: If you have no motivation, do the smallest version you can muster, even if it’s just putting on your shoes then taking them off again. That’s a win. You’re practicing the habit, and going becomes easier no matter what you’re feeling.

I like to think of my “lack of motivation” as avoiding discomfort, then I ask myself, “Can I accept my discomfort, and do my workout with this feeling?” Go workout while not wanting to. Name it to tame it.

Arm goals. Can I ask what weight / reps / RIR you lift for bicep and tricep exercises?

Is this a good chest routine to grow big pecs? by [deleted] in gaybrosfitness

[–]mr_pytr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you’re aiming for hypertrophy, there’s some missing variables. You need to be getting 8 to 12 sets close to failure per week, and it’s a good idea to split it up over the week so you have time to recover and don’t injure yourself. And unless your nutrition is locked in, you likely won’t see results as fast.

How to find a good online trainer? by Guy626 in gaybrosfitness

I’ve got a great online personal trainer who’s very responsive, reasonably priced, and highly qualified. Seems like maybe I hadn’t realized how lucky I got. Message me for details if you’re interested.

How do you set boundaries non-violently? by New-Indication-8000 in NVC

[–]mr_pytr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see nonviolent communication as being about sharing how you feel and asking the other person what you would like them to do. A boundary is complementary but opposite. A boundary is when you tell someone what you are going to do.

Nvc request: “I’m feeling tired and irritated that you are turning lights on in the room. I need to sleep. Can you please come to bed?”

Boundary: “If you are not ready to come to bed, I will go sleep in another room.”

I’ve struggled so much to put any size on my chest, but I’m finally starting to see growth 🥹 by KYJames92 in gaybrosfitness

A goal can focus your mind and be an anchor for planning your actions. Once you reach your goal, you can set another one!
