gratitude. i am currently speaking to them and learning a bit more. i am comparing whey protein isolate against the gold standard of optimum brand. i learned they arent comparable. anyway, for am amateur, cost is important and your recommendation is influential given i dont think the extra bits in the optimum brand can justify the extra cost for me.
I've found this to be a problem too, often work on weekends (away) so have to rely on what I can buy and most food outlets tend to focus on carb heavy, protein lightish meals.I def don't eat enough protein, as I'm on the road it gets difficult. I do try and prep some chicken but I can't heat it up, I always grab a 45g protein bar and a few cans of tuna then have eggs and protein shakes when I'm home.

It's taken me months just to add a couple of kilos.
Has been about 3.5 weeks...
99.7 kg before lunch
Happy as Larry right now
Good job. Any particular diet you are using? I'm at 111 and will begin a cut in October. At the moment I'm leaning on the keto diet. I've never actually cut (been bulking up for 2 years) so have much to learn.
Mind numbing stubbornness is what you need!
My no.1 tip, eat as much food as you can whilst still losing weight.
Personally i'd stay away from a keto diet, the restriction of carbs completely makes dieting even harder again. But each to their own.
I'll admit, it's going to be a little hard to stay away from potatoes, pasta, oats etc...I know my body will probably be in shock and craving them but it gets better as you get used to burning just fat right?
I'm still open to other ideas.
Updating this from a year and a half ago. Time flies! I'm 27, 78kg, and probably around 12% body fat, perhaps a little more. Now take creatine in addition to protein.
What I've learned: Full body workouts 5 times a week are best for me. Overtraining is overhyped. If you're lifting a lot of heavy sets to failure, yeah you'll burn out. But if you pyramid your sets, you can get a lot of volume done - and this seems to help me a lot. I should say this applies to strength training - I'm not a body builder, so I can't comment in that regard.
Re: diet, I eat the same food every day. I have no idea why I felt, for a long time, that I had to eat something "different" all the time. I've found a routine that works for me, and eating it over and over again is no problem. Life is a lot easier (and healthier!) this way because I'm never put in a situation where I don't know what to eat, can't be bothered shopping/cooking and end up just getting takeway instead. My meals are cooked for the week on Sunday & I'm good to go. Current pic, along with the one from when I last updated about a year ago:
Haven't seen any updates in ages... Everyone quit the gym?

I never train 1RM (maybe I should tho , bit hard when you don't have a spotter/gym buddy though) so only track my PBs for reps.im embarrassed by my stagnation
also, when posting our PBs (ie XY kg squats), is it for just one rep of the exercise?
Why?I never train 1RM (maybe I should tho , bit hard when you don't have a spotter/gym buddy though) so only track my PBs for reps.
Some people recommend it for strength gainsWhy?
Age: 24
Height: 170cm
Weight: 92kg
Haven't tried for big lifts in a long time but my PR's are B: 132.5kg x 1 D: 200kg x 1 S: 182.5kg.
My goal was to get to 100kg but I've recently decided to get back into footy. Last time I played seniors I was 65kg and lightning quick so it should be interesting to see how 27kg of extra bulk goes. First pre-season session tomorrow.
