I spent two years doing just the 2 lift programs. People were surprised to find out I lifted.My fitness journey would have been so much simpler if I could get jacked from just a 2 move minimalist program!

As far as how you compete in weightlifting, I would think a solid program of just full C&P and full snatches would add a decent amount of muscle. I gained a ton of size with just presses and deadlifts three days a week with reps in the 3-5 range. But I will admit that I have near zero experience with the snatch and clean & press.My fitness journey would have been so much simpler if I could get jacked from just a 2 move minimalist program!

In this context, this needs to be understood more commonly.Weightlifters often do separate hypertrophy blocks and/or accessory work that uses lots of grinds because focusing on the competition ballistics alone is so poor at adding muscle.

Not really.

Front squats, back squats, clean pulls, snatch pulls, RDLs, good mornings, push presses, ab / back work, etc.
Even minimalist WL programs will have about 2 grinds per training session, i.e. snatch, snatch pull, squat
Plus whatever upper body accessory work fits their training methodology.
Yep, sounds like my programming for the past 3 years.Weightlifters often do separate hypertrophy blocks and/or accessory work that uses lots of grinds because focusing on the competition ballistics alone is so poor at adding muscle.

How do you get that amount of protein??had to increase my protein intake to 180-200 grams per day
Protein shakes are your friend.How do you get that amount of protein??
I suspect that this is where I am regarding my last few weeks:I think people commonly get confused because untrained / detrained individuals / newbies can do almost anything and add some mass.
How do you get that amount of protein??
I mean 200g of protein its a lot. I rarely have more than 100g and have to eat meat to reach that amount. So im interested what other people eat to get more proteinOrally is my preference.
I suspect that this is where I am regarding my last few weeks:
1. I moved from 16 to 24kg bell, coming from a detrained position in March. (0 activity in Jan/Feb, then mostly used 12kg + slow jogs in March and jumped straight into a 9 week running program in April and S&S with 16+24kg a few week laters. I can now swing 10x10 1H with 24kg a few times/week)
2. I improved my eating habbits in march (slowly eased into the new modus over a couple of week)
My weight stayed the same from April to now despite increased training sessions, time per session, and intensity per session. Hence my questions. Judging from my past, I will either start rapidly lose weight soon (proving my suspicion) or stay on this plateu (indicating that I must change something, and I'm already changing direction as my last post)
That's awfully low for a male!I mean 200g of protein its a lot. I rarely have more than 100g and have to eat meat to reach that amount. So im interested what other people eat to get more protein
