make sure u eat alot of meat preferably fatty meats, also alot of eggs, I'd say hitting full body eod is a good split if ur starting out

 

[SoNotFunny]

lift the heaviest weight you can find

 

[selfascender]

Protein intake (1g per body weight is a good start )
Good form always
Upper body/lower split
Consistency
(Go pms actually lol )

1)track your calories, protein, fats and set a goal. Do you want to build muscle or lose fat first? You cannot do both at the same time, recomp is the biggest fitness industry shill trap

2)most supplements are worthless, even creatine. Just get your whey protein if you can’t eat enough eggs or beef in a day.

3)find a good workout routine and stick to it. Program hopping = wasted time you’ll never get back.

4) ignore the mike mentzer/fullbody workouts/stronglifts5x5/Jefferson curl Doing retards and other such fringe cultists. Their methods will rob you of gains and land you many injuries.

5) meet someone buff and grab his workout routine. It will probably be some push pull legs or something and just stick with that for long enough, track calories+macros, and you’ll be fine

1) Train sciencebased (close to failure, prioritise stabilty, high Frequency)
2) Train for Enjoyment/Practicality(If you enjoy benching them bench)
3)stay consistent

You’re skinny? You’re in luck.

Skinny is the EASIEST problem to fix gymcelling. No fat to lose, no “skinnyfat” paradox to waste your time. Just eat and lift JFL.

Then Count calories and Go onto a 250-500 surplus bulk(Not necesarry but will Help Putting on size faster, but it will be more fat than maingaining)

depend whats your goal, tip will be different, building muscle? build stamina? health?

 

[edodalic29]

height, bones, and insertions

if u dont have them, gtfo

Jeff seid was barley scratching 6’0 though and still was considered a giga chad

Bones , insertions , and muscle to leaness ratio is everything , in other words roids + genetics .

exactly, anything shorter and u look like a goof ball

Just lol at people saying 6’4+ or rope , u cannot have a good physique if your too tall , lundgren is the only exception but that nigga literally isnt human.

i disagree strongly

6'4 is basically giga aesthetics if u have mogger biacromial : costal cartilage width : iliac crest width ratios + mogger insertions

jon skywalker, david laid

what cucks most tallfags is their kleinfelter hips and horrible insertions

I agree yeah . Insertions are key , thank god most tall fags have shitty insertions or are non gymcelled

Look at muscle building like building a house.

In order to build the house, you need enough raw materials. Muscle building is most optimal on a caloric surplus, you need a surplus of materials so that it goes to the muscle. The house isn't going to be built if you aren't eating enough, simply skip the gym if you aren't going to count your calories and get your calories in.

There are various ways of building a house, however we want the most optimal way of building the house so that it's faster and stable. In comparison, there are various different ways to working out, each person will have their own style and methods of building the house. Each method will in fact build the house but not every method is optimal. Therefore, you must find your technique and method to building muscle that works for you and is optimal.

This is where your workout split comes in. When you are in the gym, you are actively working on the house you are building. Do research and find your preferred way to build muscle that is optimal.

I will share with you my personal split that I use which I believe is optimal. Many ways of building muscle in the gym can be optimal, many methods will lead to muscle hypertrophy at the end of the day. Personally, I train each muscle group 3x a week, which is enough volume for me. You don't have to train each muscle group 3x a week as a beginner, you will still see measurable muscle growth. However, each session is of course hypertrophy stimulus and a working day for your house.

I do upper/lower split. The split isn't that important as long as its balanced and works for you and you have time to do the session and not rush. As for how many reps and sets, I do 1 intense set of 8 reps to failure per exercise and 3 exercises per muscle group. This allows for high mechanical tension and reducing volume which is great to minimize fatigue for your central nervous system, especially if you go to school as well, you will be very tired. But it's up to you how many sets and reps you want, at the end of the day the muscle itself does not know how many reps you are doing, the main driver of hypertrophy is mechanical tension and as long as you are going to failure and progressing in weight you will get stronger and build muscle. If you are doing 3 exercises per muscle group and 3 sets of 12 reps and going to failure on everything, you will most likely have too much fatigue at the end of the session. This is why I personally like the low volume way of building muscle because you are maximizing mechanical tension, forcing your muscle to lift heavy for 8 reps to failure, and you will progress fast, and build more muscle, instead of for example doing 12 reps and 3 sets, too much fatigue.
