At 2 days per week you are simply not training enough. Try to go a min of 4 day per week.

How long have you been training?

around 2 years properly now and I box, so i guess alot of the cardio offsets the muscle gains

Boxing burns a shitload of calories, so if you aren't seeing mass gains that you want, that might be part of it.

of course you can, it will just be slower. IMO why don't you buy some dumbbells and work out and home in addition to hitting the gym twice a week.

Just eat McDonalds and deadlift for high reps once a week and you will be a monster in no time.

for pure lean mass gain, twice a week may be the best approach.

Im not interested in diet anymore or bodybuilding for that matter
If I want to get lean that'll probably the only time where I will proceed with a bodybuilding diet


Other than that I now feel sorry for people who eat 6 times a day clean and worry about menial bodybuilding persuits, if you can achieve a body that the public appreciates I dont see why you need to go on.

most people lift 2 to 4/5 hours a week and dont care about a "diet", eat everything they want yet build very decent physiques, it's not like it's something new.

It's easier for ectos and mesos, but even some endos who are not morbidly obese can do the same and build some muscular mass under their fat.

That's not "bodybuilding", cause these people just want to develop only some bodyparts (usually pecs, chest, calves) , it's more like "weight lifting".

It's healthier than "bodybuilding" as long as it doesnt imply that you re obsessed with your physique and just do it for the practical and health benefits.

Also known as "fitness".



stupid question by the way.
