judging by mirror, nope lol

sorry will cut further and see if i lose fat

ooh wow they could have just clicked into this sub forum and read a little bit

and there's a lot of selling thread in there sometimes

specifically allocate sessions for training your grip like farmer walk or deadhang

everytime when you deadlift hold it at top squeeze your glutes together at top, trains both grip strength and glutes

use pronated grip until you cannot handle the weight, then only switch to mixed grip, when mixed grip slips, then use chalk, if all else fails then only starts using straps

not sure about metabolic damage but

why dont you eat at surplus even on rest day ? its a bulk, it's the best time to increase all your lift, eat even at surplus on rest day and go really heavy during workout. those extra calories on rest day will help on your recovery, weight, and gives you energy to smash PR's on workout day

i'd say, go with option B, but replacing amino with multivit if you dont have it already.

its not just taking whey protein... the reason people take whey is because they need to fulfill their daily protein requirement, you dont drink whey protein by just following what is told on the label

calculate how much proteins you need a day, calculate how much you got from food, and supplement the rest with whey.

protein in general is to repair and build, no matter in chicken breast, eggs or milks

but one scoop of whey contains much more proteins than the same amount of eggs, so you can get more proteins with less servings

how much you weight

generally convert your weight to pounds, and times the number by 0.8

lets say im 200lbs, i will need 200x0.8 = 160grams of proteins

go for around 130g

one scoop of whey is around 25

so still about 105 more from foods

eggs about 8g each, typical chicken breast around 25~30g

i dont think its really hard to hit 130g proteins

as in losing weight ? just eat below your TDEE

http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/

calculate your TDEE, and eat 300 to 500 below that

i've got an apps called myfitnesspal, whatever i eat i'll just find the calories inside, then add them up tgt

easy to track calories and proteins, been losing weight steadily, controlled and slow

your goal is to ? gain muscle, or lose weight or something

if you goal is just to increase your push up, then by all means go ahead

i rmb when my gym made a push up contest i did something similar to this and managed around 56 push ups in 60 seconds

other than that it serves no purpose

what program you are doing

also for squat, as long as you are not bending/arching your back, i find it no problem with any form may it be high bar or low bar or wide or narrow stance or knees past toes

everyone's body is different, try not to mimic your friend's movement for everything

just go with instinct, load up the bar, spread feet apart and squat down at least parallel while keeping back straight, no bending/hyper-extending.

eat more ?

are you bulking or cutting

gaining strength during a cut is a gift

but even if u didnt gain strength, during a cut you didnt lose strength either its good already

If, you are bulking and not gaining strength, time to change routine, or you didnt work hard enough

its acceptable during a cut your max weight didnt go up, because when you cut, you are not losing 100% fat, there will be slight muscle lost too

however, your max weight shouldnt drop either, because even though you lose a lil bit of muscle, with correct training your CNS should still be growing/getting better during a cut
so it made it balances between strength up and strength down, however, some people did get to PR during a cut, even if you didnt, no worry also.

no, dont do lighter weights with high reps, just follow whatever you doing when you bulk

sometimest, you should even drop the sets/ reps for higher weight

lets say you are doing 5 sets of 5 reps of 60kg squats, but after 2 months into cut, you feel it harder to move 60kg during the last 2 sets and dropped it to 55kg

then switch to something like 10 sets of 3 reps for 60kg, recover is already slow during a cut, if you add reps and sets with lighter weight, you will not be able to recover before your next workout, and if you get used to lighter weight already, you will need to slowly progress back to 60kg again later

anyone help ~~~

as i started my cut, the same deadlift seems much heavier now for me , then noticed that my shoulder is dropping down during the deadlift, is this normal ?

i did a google search and half of them says its normal to drop down the shoulder instead of contracting the shoulder blade, it makes you able to lift heavier weight ( note my lower back and middle back is straight, only didnt pull my traps and shoulder blade together)

however some people will say sooner or later will cause injury on shoulder or i will start to round my upper back unconsciously ?

ngam ngam 3.5 plates for 3 reps

i can do it without upper back bend when bulking, and i dont wanna progress backward i think i rounded my upper back to compensate it

dont know what to do now, drop the weight and pull with full straight or just continue dilemma liao
