Yes I am a male. After basic, just like every other dude, I lifted a lot in AIT. But I don’t really count that as experience. I just ate everything I could get my hands on, didn’t sleep much, and went to muscle failure every set.
I’m a little confused, I’ve been told before that I shouldn’t just eat everything if it’s super unhealthy, because it can stunt my growth? I did make some newbie gains when I did lift for a few months doing that. Today I’m going to buy a food scale and track my macros and calories on a spreadsheet. I have a buddy who’s been lifting for a while, but didn’t really follow a routine whatsoever. So I’m going to track all of that stuff with him. I think it’ll really help me stick to it.
I recently went through a really rough phase where I wasn’t really moving at all, sleeping all day, and not eating for days at a time. For this week, to ease my way into it and not burn out, I’m just going to eat 3 meals a day. I would guess I’m eating around 2-3,000 calories a day. After work I’m going to crunch the numbers.
You mentioned juice won’t help me grow right now? I’m curious why? I’ve seen some progress videos of people who used off the get go, and made huge gains. I’m totally willing to just do a cycle, regardless of the health affects. It’s something I’ve always wanted to try. And I think coming out of this slump I’m in, is a great opportunity to keep me in the gym
Thanks for the quick replies, this forum seems awesome
