i would do a 5x5 full body routine. Bablylovers starting strength (i recommend) or just regular starting stregnth by ripptoe are proven routines. Google them.
-
doing sets of five can still get you size as well as strength. 5x5 would give you a total of 25 reps of heavy weight. Its not about the reps in sets but total reps.
-
you can eat whatever you want and still lose weight. If it fits your macros.
-
not good. You gained to much to fast. 0.5 pounds a week is optimal (maybe a little more) if you wanna avoid fat gains. It will come back to bite you in the ass later. Also at least 10lbs of that is fat/water, you can only gain around 4lbs (biological limit) of muscle a month and thats if you do EVERYTHING perfectly which almost no one does.

something about going to a park where children play doesnt sit well with me lol
-
Full body, frequencey is really good for a noobie. I recommend BLSS (search it up) it is a great routine for a noob.
-
Switching routine from 5 day bro split back to my favourite routine which is pull/push/legs x2 rest. Also for all those people who are starting out/beginner, i suggest you workout each muscle more than once a week
-
still, 6lb in a week is to much. Lower your surplus.
-
bcaa's are a waste if money, a good protein source (like ON 100% GS whey) has more than enough amino acids in it and it doesnt even matter that not all different bcaa's are in it because almost every bcaa can be converted to other types by your body. Do not waste your money.
-
6 in week, damn man your gonna regret that later lol, thats like 2 months worth if a slow bulk
-
why would you need a 1000 calorie shake? How big of a surplus are you trying to achieve? Unless your maintenance calories are extremely high, a 1000 calorie shake is ridiculous imo.

i just receive samples to test from musclepharm for a youtube thing but im not actually working for them but do receive some income. Honestly, most brands and stuff are just marketing but as long as you buy from a trusted brand it should be good to go, usa has better prices than canada. ON and musclepharm are my top 2 brands.
-
brand doesnt mean much other than knowing it is a trusted brand. Many no name brands have fillers and stuff so maje sure you check the labels. (And buy from states)
-
why not eat food or make your weight gainer? Its cheaper and healthier than drinking sugar filled crap like weight gainers.
-
Went from tracking all macros to just tracking calories and protein, progress is still going at the same rate, might stick with it.
-
ATG is better for bodybuilding purposes, piwerlifters would do it like youre saying
-
thats actually an exercise called pressure punches, its a great way to shed skin and break bones
-
is your form good? Make sure you do not flare out your elbows when benching, your arms should be at ~45 degree angle If not then DB is a good alternative.
-
periodization. Look it up, helped me a ton in terms if improving my 1RM
-
just use wrist straps, glives make the bar thicker and harder to hold on to. Wrist straps can be found anywhere online or in stores. There all teally the same other than a little padding
-
i have a youtube channel (wont share name) that has gotten fairly popular. I get products to review every now and then and musclepharm sends products for me to review often so thats why i picked the name. I dont get any samples packets to hand out.
-
this is a common misconception, a dirty bulk refers to a bulk that has you over your caloric maintenance bu a large sum, while a clean bulk refers to being only slightly over (3-500 typically). It does not mean that a person on a dirty bulk is eating junk food i sometimes ask myself the same question
-
but a meal is a meal no matter when you eat it, you could get 3000 calories and 200g of protein in one meal and if thats all you need, its fine. Dont need to eat the rest of the day.
-
yes, but at the bare minimum yoy should at least track your calories and proteins.
-
it is all going to come down to how much you want to succeed. If you really want to reach your goals you would do what it takes, eating two meals a day will not cut it. Bodybuilding/Powerlifting is no place for you if you continue to half-ass it. You are wasting your money on a gym membership if you dont eat properly, you will get zero gain in size or strength.
