It's been 28 days, my pull ups increased from 3 to 9 and push ups from 4 to 14, but I don't see any changes, I'm still a 5'11 109 lbs holocaust survivor
Increased reps but body didn't change much

early strength gains are a product of your nerves being able to sustain a high frequency signal for muscle contraction for longer.
See "nervous fatigue" here:

Nerve gains exist? Awesome man, I didn't know about it
Am I going to make it though? I'll keep trying

Anthony Hall
yes you are. keep at it, no matter what.
Jordan James
visual difference unlikely to come in 28 days but if you keep at it you will definitely see it. I've heard 8 weeks quoted but can't back that up with anything
be persistent as fuck, eat plenty, and you're surely gonna see visual improvements. Your strength seems to have improved already
Cameron Collins
Where the fuck are all you retards coming from? For weeks now we've had nothing but idiots like you who don't read the sticky and proceed to shit up the place with their menial retarded questions. Anyway, eat more. What you're experiencing is CNS adaptation, but not actual muscle growth.
Anthony Young
remember to add more load once you can knock out between 8 and 12 reps easily as progressive overloading is very important
for bodyweight exercises you can manipulate angles by using incline/declines or increase the speed (remember not to rely on momentum), or consider filling a rucksack with books or something if that's all you have access to
Grayson Brooks
at least this is fitness related and not a thread about height, facial structure or some fucking incel-tier meme about mogging
Angel Reyes
There's a problem tough, I've been having frequent surgeries due to gum recesion, will I lose my gains if I stop training for 2 weeks?
Wyatt Morales
how much do you eat?

I'm sorry, I didn't think my question fit those topics

I wouldnt have thought 2 weeks would be long enough to make a drastic difference if you eat properly, but I can't back that up with anything.
For sure you shouldnt expect to be able to train as intensively for the first few sessions after a break tho, so take care not to injure yourself
Logan Campbell
> how much do you eat?
Ideally 40 eggs (either all hard boiled or 20 raw and 20 hard boiled, but realistically I'm hitting 24 to 30), 1.1 lbs of chuck ground beef, 1.32 lbs of chicken breast, 10 oz of coconut water before training, and 0.5 lbs of raw yellow bell peppers
I only eat on training days tough, tuesday, thursday and saturday, It works very well to a uni student like me
Liam Foster
Good to know, I'll read the sticky since this concerns diet
Cameron Hill
no carbs?
also eat every day like it's a training day. maybe cut back on some carbs but have the same protein intake every day.
Gabriel Mitchell
> no carbs?
42g of carbs according to the USDA database, I relly on protein (453 grams) gluconeogenesis to fill my muscle glycogen
I dunno if I should eat every day, I feel great fasting between eating days and my stool isn't liquid
Xavier Anderson
nigga your muscles repair on rest days. and eat carbs, 200g a day minimum.
so wait you eat that amount of food in the span of 3 days ?
James Kelly
come back in a year, idiot
Wyatt Campbell
Use an electromagnetic weight so you can be aware of changes in your body like water, fat and muscles.
Jackson Wood
I'll start doing weighted pull ups with books when I reach 20 reps in a row, thanks for the advice
Aiden Price
Not 3 days in a row, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, it's not hard when you time it right
If I go by the reps I don't seem to be losing streght, my inverted rows for example have been increasing linearly
Ian Nguyen
I will
I'm not rich, neither live in a first world country, but will look for it
Cameron Taylor
eat. every. single. goddamn. day.
and eat carbs and fiber and your shit will be normal.
and at your weight you don't need more than 100g of protein a day.
Thomas Ortiz
My shits got perfect when I cut fiber actually, I don't even need to wipe my ass because the toilet paper doesn't get stained (ofc I always check)
Eating every day starts to get really expensive time and money wise If I want to get 95% of the micronutrients through food, don't worry, let me be an experiment to see if this works, I'll come with the results a year from now
I tried eating everyday before, but my shit were liquid and yellow, weird bowel movements, I'm not sure it was because of the fiber or the raw eggs tough, probably both
Joshua Gomez
>does no carb
>wonders why the mass won't come
See?
This is why everyone laughs at Americans. Fattest nation in the world.

Easton Scott
Sounds pretty good. Don't expect anything big just yet. Just focus on form and maybe switch it up a bit with variations on push ups and pull ups. You're at the point where most people will give up
Dylan Gutierrez
Yeah I've heard 8 weeks for you to start noticing proper gains, 12 for family and friends to notice/say, and then 16 for everyone
