ie stress on knees or should you just stay at your current weight and just lift heavy and try to maintain as much muscle as you can?

Training Muscle Groups 2X Week = Double Gains?
Hi all,
I usually train each muscle group twice a week (3 days on, 1 day off, repeat) and gains are coming nicely.
I am wondering since the average lifter usually works each muscle out once a week (i.e. - Mon=Chest, Tues=Legs, ect), the average weekly weight gain is said to be .5 lbs.
By training each muscle twice a week and keeping volume the same as if you were training each muscle once a week, are gains being essentially doubled (especially since muscles are recovered within 3-4 days and protein synthesis ends within 72 hours)?
Let me know your thoughts - thanks!

What are some key things to know when building muscle?
I'm 204 pounds and trying to lose weight and gain muscle, what are some key things to keep in mind? I heard that it's better to lose the weight first, and then start training (not sure how true that is)? As well what are some key things to remember when it comes to food intake?

Need tips: Supplements for Building Muscle
Hi,
I'm just new here and I'm looking for some good recommendations for my planned supplements to take during my goal in being muscular after 9 months or before the year ends. See below for my body data and weight goal.
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Body Type: Ectomorph
Height: 5' 7" or 170.18cm
Fat percentage: 15-20%
Current weight: 55kg or 121.254lbs
My ultimate goal is to reach 75kg or 165.347lbs with 5-10% body fat percentage. I know it's impossible to achieve that weight for just 9 months or before the year ends but at most as close as possible to that. I already tried working out 4x a week for 6 months before without supplementation but only 1kg from 55kg to 56kg gained. I was following Jim Stoppani's Shortcut to Size program that time but at the most part, only the exercise routines. I know I was lacking in the nutrition like the food I ate and with no single supplementation. See I'm living in a third world country and I was just a student that time with a very strict budget that supplementation is impossible for me to buy given how expensive they are.
Then after 2 months on February 2018 when I finally have some savings, I tried these three:
ON Gold Standard 100% Whey
ON Micronized Creatine
Mutant Amino
This is how I take them:
2 scoops whey per bottle mix with 1 tbsp. creatine and 2 capsule amino
I start mixing 2 scoops of whey with 1 tbsp. of creatine in approximately 1L of water. I drink half of it at night before I sleep and the other half in the morning when I wake up. On my workout, I prepare another mix of the same content and drink the first half together with 1 capsule amino and the last half after, with another capsule of amino. I don't take supplements on my rest days. In this case within 1 week, there's 3 days I don't take any supplement because I train 4x a week back then. Surprisingly, I notice a very significant result. I gained 3kg and a half (55kg to 58 1/2kg) in just 1 month of training and taking supplements. I was very amazed with the result. By the way, I was taking my workouts seriously and pushing myself everyday the same when I was working out for 6 months before. But unfortunately, I can't support my fitness lifestyle back then and in the end left me stopping taking supplements after that. Also, the gym I was working out has closed down and I can't find any other cheap gym nearby that I was force to stop also. I was still working out after that 1 month of supplementation for 2 months before the gym closed down.
After some months and I finally got a job. I want to start over again and this time there's no stopping me from achieving my goal. I just don't wanna do this just to get the body I desire and then quit after that. I wanna do this to get the body I desire and maintain it til' the day I die. I wanna live a fit and healthy life. So I hope someone from you guys could help me achieve my dream. I don't know any other expert help I can get other than here and I hope you'll be kind to me and very helpful too.
I was thinking while I'm still skinny today that I start of with these 3 supplements. Sorry for regulating only for 3 supplements at max, this is because I'm still on a tight budget and this is all I can afford for now.
For a starter, I want to gain weight as quickly as possible by taking much calories and carbs. Here are 3 of them:
Muscletech MassTech Extreme 2000
ON Micronized Creatine
Mutant Amino
I was planning to get the 22lbs MassTech Extreme so it will last for 2-3 months and then go on in building lean muscle by replacing it after with ON Gold Standard 100% Whey. The same mixture as before but rest days will be included. I will also add on some eggs about 6 eggs a day.
If you have a better/cheaper recommendation which has the same effectivity then please leave a response. I would greatly appreciate your help.
Thank you :)

do your muscles not get as much activation from doing your 1RM / 2RM?
i'm really close to getting a 2 plate squat (225 pounds), and I just did 2 reps for 200 pounds. I could've went more but I have no one spotting/supporting me.
and for same reason why i didn't go to 210 pounds but I know I could have.
anyway, if i'm going to get to 2 plates, i'm supposed to lift heavier right?
but then someone said doing 1RM isn't that beneficial, it's more so just a matter of seeing your limits rather than building muscle.
i do online research but there's always an article saying one thing, then another saying another thing.

What is the ratio of muscle to fat lost during fasting?
Hi guys, I find that when I wake up, if I wait to eat until I have completed all my work done, It takes about 24 hours until I can eat again. So I essentially eat every 24 hours. I know I am killing muscle, but I know I am also killing fat. Anyone know the ratio here?
