I work out about 2 hours a day and consume 3500 calories and its 200g of protein plus carbs and Im taking phs what am i doing wrong
thank you very much man i willBro honestly I think it's all in your head.... Your only four days in, you won't see any gains in 4 days. Maybe some water/nitrogen retention but that's all. If you do your part the phs WILL do their part. Give it some time you will see gains. Keep eating and training and get rest.
give it time, but i dont believe you need to train for 2hrs a day. 1 hr 3-4 time a week will probably work best for mass, esp since you're 35. i gained about 30 lbs in my 30's with low volume. nowdays i lift heavy one week with 3-5 min rest, 6-8 reps, with low volume , then the next week i add volume and go for more of a pump with 10-12 reps and 90 sec rests. change core exercises every few weeks to keep it fresh.
Oh yeah that makes sense. Haven't really even thought too much about mental effects.i agree with most of what you are saying. i've noticed that as i get older, i develop systemic over training. its not muscles but a complete systemic drain. i've trained with forced reps and negs and x-reps too hard and the next day or day after, wow, chronic fatigue for 2 days, feel stressed out. almost like adrenal fatigue or something. but you're right, its not muscles that feels over trained.
I understand what you're talking about. I experience this too. I don't think its necessarily age as I'm almost 22 but I think its just cuz your training intensity is so high. Even when I'm on cycle which I am currently, I still will feel worn out and drained like this every so often.i agree with most of what you are saying. i've noticed that as i get older, i develop systemic over training. its not muscles but a complete systemic drain. i've trained with forced reps and negs and x-reps too hard and the next day or day after, wow, chronic fatigue for 2 days, feel stressed out. almost like adrenal fatigue or something. but you're right, its not muscles that feels over trained.
That's true. I get this feeling regardless though.lethargy can also result from test suppression. That's an added component of cycling without a test base.
Lol yeah especially when u try to hit a muscle group twice a week but its so sore u can only do it once.yeah man, i always train to failure and sometimes more. it gets brutal but it works so well. i'm trying to take it down a notch. lol
DC is founded on the idea that once a week DOES work, however, if the achieved stimulus can happen in a shorter period of time with high-intensity, can we recover faster? , and train that group again in just 3-4 days? YES...Lol yeah especially when u try to hit a muscle group twice a week but its so sore u can only do it once.
Yeah that's what I do with legs.DC is founded on the idea that once a week DOES work, however, if the achieved stimulus can happen in a shorter period of time with high-intensity, can we recover faster? , and train that group again in just 3-4 days? YES...
Truth bro! Without eating you don't gain s**t!Plus muscle is built in the kitchen.... Haha that's what I say
I concur. Less rest = more intensity. 45sec.I put on around 47 pounds this year and not 1 workout broke 50 minutes. And, yes, I stayed fairly lean(some muscle memory involved too) If your intensity is high enough, you can train 1-2 major groups in <1hour. I would be throwing up long before the 2 hour mark. The only time my workouts go that long is if I am spending too much time in the gym b.s.ing or trying to LOSE size.
That's what I was saying earlier. 2 hrs is too long, not using that time efficiently.I concur. Less rest = more intensity. 45sec.
Get a stop watch.
If you cant hit 15-20 sets in less than an hour, your resting too much.
