I work 5 taco supremes into my macros pretty often. I just get them with chicken. It’s about 900 calories and 75g of protein.

If you’re eating 900 calories in one sitting, you should probably be working out twice a day. Sounds like you’re bulking.

I’m basically doing one meal a day. I’ll eat 1,000 - 1,500 calories at night (between a big meal and late night impulse eating) and then have a few protein shakes in morning / afternoon. I don’t believe in bulking and cutting for more average / newbie guys like me…I think it’s more for the well tuned weightlifter. For me, I have a protein goal for building muscle, and a calorie goal for losing fat. If I significantly under-eat, then I won’t gain muscle, but due to my composition, and still having plenty of fat, eating at a calorie surplus isn’t necessary right now for building muscle.
Oh I got you. Went on the boat today so the processing speed is a bit slow. Look up The Rock’s diet and then add on the fact that he’s probably on gear. That dude is not going to have a long life.

This is why you should work out during weight loss.

Always Asian dudes when I go
It was some jacked white dude today. He was in the way of the 50lb dumbbells that I needed just shadow boxing. He was in front of the mirror though so it was easy to just point and get him to move.
I don’t think doing that at the gym is going to make the muscle mommy’s panties wet though, bro.

Is there any legit reason not to use the preacher bench instead of standing curls? I started using it about two months ago. Now I use it for bicep curls, reverse curls, hammer curls, and wrist curls, both barbell and dumbbell.
Things I’ve noticed when people (and myself) do standing curls versus preacher bench:
1. With standing curls, it’s hard to be consistent with form and not cheat with your shoulders, back, etc, when you’re trying to reach overload. I’ve often found myself progressing and then regressing back, due to slight form changes in angles. And I do stick to form better than most people I see doing bicep curls like they’re gyrating.
2. With preacher bench, arm/elbow/forearm acts as a fulcrum point. I feel like there’s more direct tension on the actual targeted muscles.
3. With preacher bench, I can go to failure easier because there’s less stress about dropping the weight or fucking up my shoulder/rotator cuff for extra leverage.
Thoughts on this?
Yeah I usually try to do my curls sitting down or preacher bench to avoid the natural body reacting cheating. What gives me a massive pump is bending my wrist slightly and just using the biceps as the main focal point when lifting. Squeezing on the way up and slowly bringing them down for the ultimate pump.

In barre class we're often seated on the floor with our knees pointed to the air and our backs grounded and like halfway down with our pelvis tucked so that we're working our abs while we're doing bicep reaches and things like that. barre is a many rep thing when it comes to everything including weights(so we go very light).
You also don't need much weight for them triceps or biceps @Ice_Ice_Brady the compound exercises alone should give you the mass you desire. I usually aim for high volume low weight when targeting biceps/triceps

This guy posted some pics on Reddit. Natural bodybuilder. Looks great. Why would anyone want to look like a roided freak instead of like this?

Has anyone here ever done TRX?my studio is closed and has been since Christmas Eve and it's closed until New Year's Day where there's a small pop-up that I can do so I've been searching around for other places to work out cause I can't stand not working out for this long and doing it at home is not that great. so one of the local rec centers had TRX and I tried it today.it's freaking hard. a lot of core/balance and since you're using your body weight instead of regular weights it's even more challenging. I think I might try to throw that in the mix every now and then. does anybody else have tips and/or experience with it?
You should throw something different at your body every single week. I don’t know what the hell TRX is outside of your explanation, but if it challenges you, I’d incorporate it. For example, I’ll do this:
Week 1: Cables
Week 2: HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training)
Week 3: Free weights
Week 4: CrossFit
Then I’ll do 2-3 days of Muay Thai in the afternoons. Ultimately, you don’t want your muscles to get used to the same training. Throw everything you can at it to keep it on its toes (so to speak) and keep that lactic acid pumping.
