when I was doing mass building crap I would be fine the day of, then the day after I would be sore as hell 24/7 until it got better
this stuff, I am not sore, but if I try to move I am
so it's less that I'm "sore" and more that I'm just broken
INTERESTING
MUSCLE BUILDING
MUSCLE DENSITY IS RARELY MENTIONED
PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT BODY TYPES
AND DIFFERENT MUSCLE SPEEDS
I realized that muscle building is basically a meme
yeah
and training style really does matter
THAT IS IDEALISM
THE IDEA MUST TAKE ROOT
AND THEN CAN MANIFEST
so the exact difference was training 3-5x10 before, building mass, vs now training 15-20x1, not maximal lifts but real heavy
it worked to get me jacked, but at this point I basically believe that looking buff is a stupid goal
AGREED. GENERAL, ALL-PURPOSE STRENGTH IS THE GOAL
MILITARY TRAINING HELPS
one thing that is interesting is the 20x1 style is more "food efficient"
FEWER DONUTS
I can tolerate 20x1 much better on a starvation diet, 5x10 required lots of food or I basically couldn't do it and would be sore forever until I just burned out
STARVATION DIET MAY BE TOO EXTREME
BETTER TO GO WITH A
HMM
I am losing 2 lbs a week reliably
"HUNTER-GATHERER PORTABLE DIET"
HOLY MACKEREL
CONVERTING INTO MUSCLE?
I already had a lot of muscle, I am converting to a whole different body type
MEATIER
I am on track to becoming a skinny dude who can just randomly throw 400 lbs around like a feather
at current rate I should be there in like 6 months
INTERESTING
ARE YOU MAINTAINING BONE STRENGTH?
of course, I take supplements and the weight training helps that
EXCELLENT
my theory is to maximize strength to weight ratio, for speed, explosiveness and athleticism
MUSCLE DENSITY IS WORTH ACHIEVING
FOR SUDDEN MOVES
hit people hard enough for skull fractures, jump over a car, etc
