Was at a bar Friday night with one of my closest friends. He is currently in a relationship, and living with his girlfriend.
I'm single. By design. Thank you TRP.
We sat there, chatting about life and such. I'm moving to Australia in 2 weeks, so this will be one of the last times I see him for a while.
He makes a comment about how wide my shoulders have gotten over the past little while.
I've been lifting for about a year now. You can see pictures of me in this article, which was at about 6 months of lifting:
https://trumpyourtrait.com/5-steps-for-fixing-95/
I've put on a lot more muscle now, and a bit of fat. I'm currently on a cut, but I'm 6'2, 220. Need to lose about 10 pounds.
I'll put up more current pictures when I arrive in Australia.
Lifting. Thank you TRP.
The waiter walked over to us. He mentioned that a lady wanted to buy me a drink, anything of my choice. He pointed her out, a few tables away.
She was an attractive early 30's blonde woman. She looked over and waved, with a nice smile.
I went over after a bit. We talked. She told me she was recently divorced. She told me sex becomes boring after a while in a marriage. She told me getting married before 30 was "A stupid idea for men, because they change so much in their twenties".
The Marriage Trap. Thank you, TRP.
She asked what I did. I told her I was an entrepreneur. She asked doing what? I told her I sold pencil crayons under a bridge out the back of my truck. She laughed.
Frame. Thank you TRP.
I left after a while to get back to my friend, but not before giving her my number, which she demanded.
I told her I was leaving to Australia in two weeks. She said "Two weeks is more than enough time."
High SMV=Effortless sex. Thank you TRP.
This kind of thing happens all the time now. My mindset, body and finances are in a completely different place.
All thanks to following the guidelines on TRP.
Guys, If you work the system, and trust the process, you can be in a completely different place 12 months from now.
Also, for the people who didn't click on the link for the pictures, I'm a mid twenties black guy. No excuses for race. If I can do it, you can too.

Second:

Great story. Your linked article was an excellent summary of a lot of basics. You touched on 16/8 Intermittent Fasting. That was my key to kickstarting a 100+ lb weight loss. I'm getting ready to make the transition to real strength training; I was using a simple machine routine during my weight loss. Definitely going to check out some of your links. Thanks for the great story and info!

Flerderp_McLerderp 9y ago
How long have you been lifting for?
StoicCrane 9y ago
Since around 13-14 stopped at 16. Lifted hard again around 18-19 then stopped. Picked it up again at 24 and I'm 8 months in and plan to keep this up until I'm 80. I'll probably make a user post on the "Benefits of Lifting and Diet" later on at some point. Maybe with a different title.
[deleted] 9y ago
Man you're jacked.
I need to look into this.
StoicCrane 9y ago
So many hours in the gym it's like my second home. Dude, if you completely sacrifice fast food, eat protein rich foods like eggs, tuna, chicken, and nuts while supplanting your diet with shakes in less than a month you'll feel and look like a different man. It's crazy. Most of the "food" available to the public isn't food. They're designed to make people fat and unhealthy. Imagine if you were back in the Stone Age what food would be available to eat to survive without modern tech and chenicals and go on that diet. Go on the beastman diet and you'll look beastly with time and training.

No dude, thank YOU. A month in and just my minor lifting has taken nearly all my anxiety out of my life. Plenty of dudes telling you what to do but not how to get started. The top post on your blog alone is a goldmine and I wouldn't have suffered so much earlier had I seen it.

Gotta put people on the Anabolic diet + Stronglifts 5x5.
You WILL gain insane muscle, especially once you start benching 2 plates, squatting 3 plates, and deadlifting 4 (perfect form). Once you stick to it and build consistency and give it your all each rep, you'll see noticeable gains in 2 to 3 months.
grass_cutter 9y ago
Unless you're a large man, will take longer than 2-3 months to bench 2 plates, but yeah I hear ya.
bartallen4790 9y ago
Mind touching up on this a little bit, or providing a good link to learn more?
[deleted] 9y ago
Anabolism is the synthesis of muscle. An anabolic diet is one in surplus of your TDEE
GOATmar 9y ago
https://stronglifts.com/anabolic-diet-101-the-definite-anabolic-diet-guide/
THIS shit right here is a PED. Like steroids.
I've done 5x5 for about 5 years now - on and off, no serious consistency. The most consistent I've ever been in the past is 2 months and then something makes me take a break.
I'll say that for a long time I got a bit stuck on Bench 5x5 @ 210lbs (I weigh around 175lbs to 180lbs, 6'2" with insanely lanky arms). I don't know if it were my form, or diet, or a combination of both, but I'd couldn't get past 210lbs for a minute.
But since starting this diet 1.5 months ago my lifts are now EASY.
So easy, that I broke my Bench 5x5 PR last night while I had a fever and a sore throat - AFTER a looooong ass day of standing up all day from 10AM to 7PM. Exhausted and sick.
For the first time, despite these conditions, I was looking forward to smashing my Bench all day yesterday. Unheard of. Usually I start getting butterflies for heavy lifting, even when healthy. If I felt sick before, I would either go super light, or straight up cancel my workout.
I said fuck that shit, this is something you have to do despite how you feel. Don't think, just do. Like a machine.
Lo and behold, I move on to 215lbs with ease. Within 10lbs of my 2016 goal of 225lbs Bench. And even with my lanky arms and poor conditions - it wasn't a struggle.
How the fuck?
Anabolic diet.
Red animal meat & veggies and good fats are a miracle drug.

GOATmar 9y ago
HGH is GOAT. Steroids just helps recovery but HGH increases height AND muscle in such short amount of time. Add supreme drive and some talent and you're lookin at elite level fitness (aka 99.9999999% of all athletes alive today)
But fuck that shit. I take pride in smashing numbers all natty no help. I don't even use a single supplement.
bartallen4790 9y ago
Thanks man, I'll give it a go!

Schrodingersdawg 9y ago
My bodybuilder friend puts it as 1.1x your ideal weight in grams of protein, 1.5 in carbs, and .333 times in fat. So if you're aiming for 200 lbs, 220protein 300 carbs 70ish fat.
Good luck
edit: this is for gaining muscle
BorneofBlood 9y ago
Thanks for the breakdown. With this diet, what would be the ideal amount of calories per day?
Daxxipro1804 9y ago
This depends honestly. First find your sitting calorie count per day (forgot the name of this). There are websites all over that you put in your activity level and it roughly shows you what you burn, in calories, each day.
If you want to lean bulk: aim +300ish calories above that. This allows you to gain muscle with minimum fat gain.
If you want to cut: aim -300ish calories below. This allows you to preserve your muscle as much as possible while still loosing fat.
Schrodingersdawg 9y ago
Piggybacking, if you go with PEDs the rules change.
RaptorFalcon 9y ago
Do not do this. The breakdown you provide has 11% of total intake being fats. THIS IS NOT ENOUGH. It takes at least 20% fats for optimal hormone production (eg testosterone)
http://press.endocrine.org/doi/abs/10.1210/jcem-64-5-1083
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8039147?access_num=8039147&link_type=MED&dopt=Abstract
If anything carbs should be lower as most people are pre-diabetic
http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-basics/statistics/
I have cut to single digit bodyfat every year for the past 5 years. I have a nearly 600lb deadlift, so if you don't believe the science, believe someone with the experience
Schrodingersdawg 9y ago
Can any of you autists even do fucking math?
Goal weight 200 lbs.
66 (let's use 70 since round numbers is easier) grams of fat. 70x9= 630 cal
220g protein + 300g carbs = 520g, 520 x 4 = 2080 cal.
That's way more than 11%. Actually around 23% lol
Seriously some dude posts a source and everyone automatically assumes he knows shit.
Believe the guy who can do basic math
Besides, did you actually read your sources?
What a great, terrific sample size.
lol totally relevant demographic
RaptorFalcon 9y ago
Do the math by grams and it is 11%.
The studies I posted posit that MORE fat is absolutely better. But hey what do I know with my 1200+lb total.
Schrodingersdawg 9y ago
Yea powerlifters sure drop panties
Stop bragging about your lifts that you still haven't proved. Bitches dont care how big you can lift, they care how you look. That skinnyfat swimmer dude look > powerlifter.
Your first sourced study had only 6 men as subjects.
Your second used women.
Real great subjects.
RaptorFalcon 9y ago
Compared to your broscience? I would say those are good sources comparatively.
As far as this:
Just wow. You know what I have never seen? A strong powerlifter (who keeps their diet on point) that looks like shit. Now bro bodybuilders I see the same dudes, lifting the same weights year after year, that...shocker! Look the same. Cuz Superset bro!!!!
Sounds like you should jump into our picture contest tonight.

What are you, a T-rex?

ForYourSorrows 9y ago
Post a picture of your body. You're right that he needs more fat, id say 90-110g but you're making some bold ass claims in the rest of the comment. Let's see it
RaptorFalcon 9y ago
I will absolutely do it when I get off work.
The question is will you as well, since you are giving very specific advice too (without even science to back it up)?
[deleted]
ForYourSorrows 9y ago
Sure thing lol. I don't deadlift 600lbs though and I don't claim to be single digit body fat.
Also as a side note, what you said and the studies you posted don't match up. You posted one study about women so that's fairly useless for our purposes and your study on SHBG and testosterone uses less than 20g and more than 100g. My normal recommendation of 90-130g of fat (in this case 90-110g) falls right in line with your posted science. Why should I add to it when it's right there in your own post lol.
Schrodingersdawg 9y ago

Ok cool, I will actually post pics from my last two cuts so you get two years of results to look at, and no I don't maintain bodyfat that low all year it is near impossible.

The race thing is still a huge card, women are undeniably more attracted to black dudes of equal caliper to white dude counter parts. This is the rexpill, we can all be honest here. (Side note not trying to diminish your progress or say other races can't achieve status)
[deleted] 9y ago
Are you talking about white women?
[deleted] 9y ago
seriously, TRP is the bible. not saying this to brag, but instead to demonstrate that TRP works... i swallowed the pill almost a year ago also, and have slept with more gorgeous women in the last year than the rest of my life combined (i'm mid 30s). with TRP, i've fucked 3 separate gorgeous women in a single 24 hour period. it's simply a matter of understanding the rules of the SMP.
[deleted] 9y ago
Maybe it's just the Women that I know / meet but none of them would laugh at this, they're just too intelligent to find that shit funny or they ask again, try and follow up, you still give them shit and they lose interest. I watched my best man try and do this with my sister-in-law, she asked his name and he said something silly in response, I've never seen so much disgust on a Woman's face.
its_gonna_be_legen 9y ago
If a girl doesn't laugh at this, or at least find it amusing.... it's not because she's "too intelligent", it's because she's either boring or has a giant stick up her ass. Both of which are criteria for a hard next for me.
Dirkz 9y ago
Eh... delivery and personality are huge man. They are "too intelligent to find that shit funny"? Hah, really? Hahaha. That shit made me laugh and I can see plenty of confident/intelligent women doing the same. Lighten up.
BestSC86 9y ago
I have seen the same thing as you except in bar scene where the only real criteria is talking as much shit as you can but usually there is already a high level of attraction (drunk or otherwise) already. In those situations, you could call your mother a whore and she would "laugh".
This is definitely bar humor after a numerous of drinks, not true getting to know someone for a real...you are most likely confusing the two scenarios.
empatheticapathetic 9y ago
Sounds like this woman was into him and he was confident. She'll laugh at the joke if it at least makes sense and she was as forward as she sounded. But I agree I would never use the line, I could never see it working with people I know.
