      That's why along with weights, you should join an MMA gym. After two years you'd be fit as and be able to fight. The cardio is far superior than doing your own thing at a regular gym as well. Most MMA gyms will have all the weights you need anyway. I wasted years in a commercial gym when I should've just joined a local club.

    Your baseline protein needs dont change until you get into your old age or you compete in something.
    When you look at optimal protein intake for noobs vs 2-3 years in, the number of grams doesn't change with lean body mass increase. It's around 0.8g/pound of bodyweight for noobs and 0.65g/pound for the 2-3 year experienced group.
    It's shown that the elderly have higher protein requirements to build muscle well but your protein requirements also go up if you're doing endurance events or you're cutting severely for something like a prize fight or bodybuilding competition.
    If you're not in those 3 camps then stop stressing about protein needs beyond baseline. If you needed 150g per day at the start you'll still need 150g per day 5 years into your training.

      Hype is overrated, if you need metal blaring in your ears, smelling salts stuffed up your butthole, 7 different brands of preworkout, and the correct MINDSET to push your reps, you're prolly on a good path towards snapping your shit.

    Optimal protein requirements go down slightly the longer you've been lifting. Think about it, nonlifters are supposed to have like 50g a day. A new lifter is maybe gaining 0.5lb of muscle a week so you need to fuel that. But an advanced lifter who can gain 2lb of muscle in a year probably doesn't need that much of a protein surplus. Anyway it's just a theory I had

      How in the FRICK do people do that? I've done PPL at a caloric surplus for about 5 months now and my lifts have gone up somewhat, but there's no way I've gained anywhere close to 12.5lbs of muscle.

      Seconded on box squats, in addition to being very functional it can engage your legs without exposing your hips to large shear forces. People who've had both hips replaced can box squat as heavy as they are capable without having to worry about possible dislocations or damaging anything. I believe Dave Tate is one of those guys who's had both hips replaced and still Box squats insane weights. Box squats are part of the recommended physiotherapy after a hip replacement.

      Most people into fitness are terrible at estimating bodyfat% (obviously everyone not into fitness is even worse at it). Everyone I've met and trained with who thought they were at 10% or even sub-10% body fat was more in the 12-15% range. 12-15% is where a lot of people feel pretty good and strong while feeling kind of lean. Generally everyone I've met who makes it down to 10% has told me that they feel smaller and weaker at 10%. Which also reflects my experience being there. So I'm guessing people hit a low bf% that they still feel good at and assume they've made it to 10%.

      Calisthenics is too advanced if you have a high fat to muscle ratio and you are a rookie with no form. Start with full body workout and cardio, learn correct form, stance and rep discipline, then proceed to exercising specific muscle groups and keep on cardioing, at this point you have more muscle mass and lower fat, keep on training and cardioing and add more lifts and deadlifts in your routine to get even stronger, then and only then you can progress in pure calisthenics. This journey will take between 2 and 3 years.

      Once you reach your desired muscle mass there is no need to continue to lift heavy, expect if you want to or it's your job.
      Everybody that continues to lift heavy 35+ will have fricked up joints and spine later in life.

    variety is a meme, a varied program just makes you mediocre at a lot of things instead of good at a few.

    programming makes no difference, most people look roughly the same after two years regardless of whether they overloaded with weight or volume, regardless of which exercises provided the entire body is activated.

    secondary and tetiary muscles are a meme, just do more of the same exercise and those become primary when the primary muscles are exhausted due to compensation.

    tracking calories is a meme for people with stunted hormonal signaling.

        Yes. We have an incredibly effective system for balancing calories, and even specific macro and micro nutrients. Trying to limit calories with a dysfunctional diet and metabolism is treating the symptom while ignoring the cause. It isn’t natural for humans to be over 20% body fat and hungry. It isn’t necessary to brute force your way to 15-18% and be hungry all the time, and most people will fail eventually when trying it.
