Yes. Over-stimulation will cause sexual inhibition. It's best to not overdo it, if you want to perform properly with your significant other.


Also, let's not forget, women who are familiar to us tend to become less and less sexually appealing over time. This is normal and can generally be fixed with roughly 4-6 alcoholic beverages. I'm just kidding about the last part, but I absolutely couldn't resist. The true solution is to avoid over-sexual stimulation outside of sexual intercourse with your significant other.

Post workout protein shakes are generally a good thing unless your post-workout meal is immaculate and eaten in a timely fashion after your workout to throw your body out of its catabolic state.

I would recommend PWO protein shakes, either NOW! Whey Protein or Optimum Nutrition Pro Complex Natural.

As far as other meals go, it's not necessary but it's a good tool if you don't eat as much protein from food as you should.

I would do an incredibly clean bulk and hope that the excessive muscular stimulation will yield residual fat loss.

For you that would be right around 2,000 calories on NON-WORKOUT days, and 2,500 calories on workout days. Keep the macros to 40/40/20 on workout days, and 40/30/30 on non-workout days (protein/carbs/fat)

thanks, if i were to start this routine http://www.simplyshredded.com/mega-feature-layne-norton-training-series-full-powerhypertrophy-routine-updated-2011.html

do you think i would get the results i seek ?

E: also, would 2000/2500 even be a bulk ? with the program ^ if i do cardio on my off days too

It depends. Certain people respond better to certain things. The routine looks decent, try it out.

As far as diet goes, you want the absolute bare essentials to build a bit of muscle and lose some fat. Once you start leaning out, you can start increasing calories slowly to continue bulking.

ok so 2000 non workout days 2500 on workout days ? ok.. , i got a question for 3 months now I've been on SL 5x5 and I've been floating around 178-180 for the past 3 months..does that mean I'm mostly eating at maintenance ? also what does that mean like have i even done anything to my body? I've gained strength but as far as looks very small change... >_<

Hey Raynor, glad to see you are back, I have a question about post-workout nutrition, exactly what macros/micros should I be getting:
As of right now I'm having an apple or banana and 26g whey protein with 16oz of milk or so. Is this good or bad? Should I make any changes?
This is for weight training days? Should I have the Whey on cardio days or should my post workout meal be completely different.

also , would you advise AGAINST cutting at what i am currently ? 180 and chubby fat?

Hey raynor what kind of workouts could i have my girl do to get dat ass? Ive noticed most of the bodybuilder girls have amazing asses so i assume certain lifts help it. Also could be implants i suppose since alot of them have fake boobs but just curious

yes that's correct.

when you train 5x5...you aren't going to see much in the way of LOOKS. It's mostly for strength which correlates with muscle density and power. You also have only been doing it for 3 months, which in bodybuilding terms is not that long. If you want to bulk, increase the calories by around 500 each, and continue 5x5 training for an entire year.
