Thats like saying, Im gonna get gains if I lift twice a week....yea you will get some gains, but itll take like 3 years before ur girlfriends notice them gains.

Sometimes a twice a week training schedule can work- especially close to the end of the cycle when the extra rest comes in handy. Some of my best muscular size and strength gains came from adding more rest.

I recall when I really started following this philosophy of more rest over 10 years ago. You think the extra days will decondition you but when you train you end up checking the bar to see if you applied enough weight because it felt so light

If he's going vegetarian/vegan he'll need to be creative with alternatives.

Tried lentils, worst thing I've ever eaten. Literally made my palate ache. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get any flavoring into them.

@wishful10X8 can't use bacon or ham if I'm vegan, man.

I know brother. J was being a butt. Use olives, avocados etc to get your fats. Also coconut oil and coconut butter. Flavors require spices, herbs tomato sauce. Takes some practice to identify your preferences but it's possible. Rice and beans can be turned into curry. Dress it up. Enjoy eating.

Maybe adding some strong spices or peppers, or using the lentils as a spread for another food would work. They're an excellent food source.

I gave up being vegan a week ago. It seemed to be very counterproductive. I actually gained 6lbs!

Before veganism: Blood Pressure 123/68 Resting heart rate 68
1 month of veganism: BP 134/76 RHR 73
1 week after veganism: BP 117/66 RHR 61

I noticed that during my 1 month stint of Veganism I felt sluggish, even with Super B Complex Vitamins, I lacked aggression, and as my workouts got more intense (on schedule) the sooner and sooner I had stopped doing them. Veganism has really left a bad taste in my mouth (not just because the food is so hard to cook and enjoy.).

On the bright side, cooking vegan food has taught be how to bring the flavor out of food, so I can rest easy with the fact that I emerged from this twice the cook.

Always find the good out of any situation

Hmm, Where should I start? Well, Beginner gains are done for me. I gained a little over half an inch in length and gained .375 inches in girth during my JP90, but this past month my gains were pretty minimal. I increased my BPEL by .125inches and my girth has pretty much stayed the same. Sometimes, it feels even less girthy! I thought that I could get by on girth gains with conventional workouts like Big Al Squeezes and Horse Ulis, but the outlook is grim. I may do a mid-cycle measure this month to see if I made any steps forward. If I haven't, I'm gonna order a pump for next months cycle. This months PE regimen will be as follows:

10 minutes of Warmup Stretches
8 minutes of Erect Cock Swings (2minute break in between)
20 minutes of Jelqing
30 minutes of Jelqing with Big Al Squeezes and Horse Ulis.

Working out has helped. I decreased my Fatpad by .25inches and also loss 6lbs (only 32 more to go). I'm changing my workouts to:

1 hour 15 minute full body circuits. 4 days on 1 day off. I plan to do as much of everything that I can in that timespan then pick up where I left of the next day. EX: Day 1 Bench Press, Squat Press, Power Clean (incomplete) Day 2 Complete Power Clean, Curls, Weighted Lunges, etc.
