I am not suggesting things like steroids or Creatine even. I was merely telling about the transformation of body with respect to training and protein intake. And the last phrase ābeyond what your body can bearā clearly underlines that I do not support steroid usage at all. I already wrote that Beginners donāt need Creatine as well and you can reach your natural limit merely by optimum protein intake.
I do, and anyone can. It is not objective that if you push around 50 lbs on dumbbell press for 15 reps in 4 sets that you train hard. Intensity is defined by how close to your failure are you training. For most muscle groups 8-12 sets is a sufficient amount to reach failure. For smaller muscles like the Triceps shorthead, even 3 sets of solid technique bar pushdowns can be sufficient. In other terms it is not objective and one can train hard, even after being a beginner.
yeah. Muscle group recruitment and activation play a big role here but most people arenāt learned enough to know that. Iāve worked a fair amount on my muscle group activation which is why I can lift elite for my weight (bench press a little more than my body weight, squat more than 1.5x my body weight). I havenāt tried deadlift but Iām pretty sure I can easily to 2x my body weight, especially cause mine is not that high lol
depends on the supplement. Definitely agree on protein powder and creatine though. Most people who take it donāt necessarily need it.
yeah, thatās good.
To be honest from a scientific point of view meat is the best source. Because humans canāt get protein from plants, only herbivores can (you may have noticed gorillas and other herbivores have huge muscles even with only plant diet. This is because their body is adapted to breakdown the cellulose and eventually generate protein. Only a herbivore can do this)
there are a lot of other factors to it, but I think I understand what youāre trying to say
yeah thatās what. I guess for vegetarians itās understandable because they canāt get another source. But always be cautious and donāt be fooled by these brands when consuming it.
Youāve seen my physique. But my focus is not size always. When you train like an athlete your approach in the gym itself changes. But the best way to train for athletics is playing sports outside the gym. And even all other athletic training like plyos etc. doesnāt even need gym, can be done at home.
But for hybrid approach (which is ideal) there is nothing like a gym. Especially the environment and the accountability because you paid for it.
i always used to have this mindest of fearing good days. whenever i had good days i felt scared and thought that bad time might be coming. but that does not matter at all. you just have to be at present.
day 105+
irritability and anger at its peak. i have increased meditation.
missed gym yesterday due to diwali.
need to transmute the extra energy by working out!
i was having constant high urges. but i went to gym did heavy workout. came back and spent some time with my friends, studied in my friends room , took cold shower then tried to do some push ups.
I will never forget my goals , i will keep moving forward.
im getting stronger everyday.
