Do your thing and ask a swole dude for a spot on the last set, no shame in that. That way you don't have to sacrifice your gameplan just cuz your boy isn't there.

Alright y'all, i've been lifting 5 days on, 2 days off for awhile.
Fragmenting it into a muscle group or two per day.
However, I think I want to switch things up and workout several muscles per session and add more compound movements to program.
So - more of a full body feel or so without compensating definition.
Can I get some program and lift recommendations?
I'm in pretty good shape, just looking to add some new things to my routine and keep things changing.

Cutting FTW!
I've learned how to control my cravings finally. Walking past snacks/cookies without even looking at them

I think in this instance hype = broscience
I cut my macros by a lot on that calculator I linked to in the OP after last weeks Birthday festivities, and after hearing POG Chris mention how he'd consider himself sedentary due to not having a demanding job, even though he goes hard when training (I was going with moderately active [work out 5days/ week] ). That small change cut my daily calorie allowance for cutting about 500cals, but i'm more focused on hitting my macros than I was before, and feel great even though I just cut them this Monday.
I think I lost my gym buddy, best friend I take in with my guest pass (LAFitness), but there'd be days he doesn't pick up his phone or ignores my messages and **** up my gym time, like I told him i'm not his ***** nagging him to go some place, if he so chooses he wants to keep at it he knows how to get in contact with me...
Now the question is, how to get a successful workout in without a spotter. Tips from the foreveralone crowd would be appreciated
My boy used to go with me to the gym as well but he wasn't as dedicated as me towards bettering yourself. I asked him one time after he stopped going if he wanted to go, he said no. I told him I'm still going to do me and if he wants to come along, he's more than welcome.
I'm pretty sure you can still benefit from Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe. He has a book but there's a simple guide on bb.com as well.

Same, cravings are on lock but I hate cutting. Have to plan my meals out so I'm not hungry when I try to sleep.

Do a 3 day split of push, pull, and legs. Hit your compound lifts such as bench press, military press, dead lifts, and squats. Then incorporate dumb bells and/or iso movements.

Any of you all had that Trutein Cinnabun protein? I`m def going to cop some when they reup or after I finish my 5 lbs of ON Whey, everywhere I look I hear nothing but amazing things about it.

do you use it primarily post workout or as an all around protein?

Trutein is probably #1 by a large margin when it comes to flavoring. I havent had it but ill be honest, i dont think ive seen one negative review about them. SRS
with Cinnabun though IMO isnt a great flavor, its good for the first week but after that for me at least you get sick of it.

Check your local Sam's Club, BJ's, etc....
I got a 2 lb tub of the "Amplified 100% Whey Protein" for $21 at Sam's Club. On the GNC website, it's still ~$35 after the discount. Also, they had a bunch of other GNC products there for a fraction of the price you'd pay at a GNC store.

GNC supps are overpriced as hell.
you got a good price, 2lb for $20 is the norm pretty much these days for whey but never pay a dime over that for GNC or any low tier brand.

MANE lol I let the hype get me and copped a Shamrock Shake and Cinnabun flavor, lol they caught me with that Limited edition hype :-(
I see it has Casein in it so I could take it before bed too, but I think I`ll finish off my ON for that.

Just do you, man. If you have a great body and decent arms, you'll be more than good. 80% of dudes I see anyways have no business wearing them. Frail #$% dudes.

BB Overhead Press
105 x 5
120 x 3
135 x 2
135 x 2
135 x 2
135 x 4
Arnold Press
50s (4 sets x 10)
Cable Upright Row
120 (3 sets x 10)
BW dips
3 sets of 12
Tricep pushdown

idkk i really didn't feel that "pump" or "focus" other people said they experienced. i am on a slight cut though (~2000kcal/day) but i miss that 1, 3 dimeth. and beta alanine from the first jack3d (which they were still selling at my vitamin shoppe btw). i'm still gonna continue to take it though so i can give an honest review of it.
