Nigga, first you need to make sure that you're living a healthy lifestyle, before going with any kind of supplement, if you're feeling tired there's a reason for that, find that reason and fix the problem, instead of going for easy fixes that might makes things worse in the long run.

Reposting from the other thread.

My personal trainer my mother says perhaps I'm lifting too much lol. I try to lift every day, usually chest, legs, arms and abs over two days. Put those in however they fit into my schedule, and my lifting buddies. I say nonsense, but could I be lifting too much?

LET ME POST YOU CRIPPLED BASTARD

>>88115

Nope, you're probably Ok.

>Brosplit

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>Mother

kek

Is she a good personal?

>>88092

Caffeine pills. Everything else is trash/potentially harmful.

>>88115

If you lift every single day without rests you aren't allowing your body to recover. 3 days a week is too little for me and back to back days got exhausting real fast so I do alternate Back/Legs/Tri's and Chest/Shoulder/Bi's every second day now, been working perfectly for me.

If you aren't too fatigued then keep going but you're most likely going to burn out.

>>88092

Try altering your diet before taking pills. People seem to be affected by food differently, maybe you are one of those people.

If you want a brain booster use modafinil. 10%+ of people at uni are on it because it works. If you are more adventurous you could try micro dosing LSD. A lot of people claim its helped them. micro dosing = non hallucinigenic dose

>>88126

They make you stronk.

>>88116

>brosplit

Would you recommend a full body? I can only really do chest when my parents do. (I have a friend who comes over to lift but he's a skellington and I don't trust him to spot me) And is it really a brosplit if I alternate everything in two days?

>Is she a good personal?

pretty good, and she pays the exorbitant third world prices for whey

>>88126

If it works for guys like Big Z and Brian Shaw, then it can't be bad.

>>88126

If its what the top guys are doing then it cant be far wrong.

>>88174

Yes I suggest, but it's personal, experiment if you can, it's very good if you want some extra time and up the progress ratio.

>>88212

literally steroids, of course not.

Which is better: Rye bread or Whole wheat?

>>88212

Depends on your definition of natty, id do it. Being natty isnt very important to me though

I've been sick the past four or five days, is it ok to take breaks from daily workouts if you're feeling under the weather?

>>88242

It makes it easier to clean though, i like it.

>>88261

sure

>>88261

As long as you are used to working out you can take a while off (a month) and you wont suffer much loss. If you dont make a habit of it, its no problem. Only thing is that it might take a couple workouts to get back in the groove.

>>88242

Put some toilet paper in your crack before working out. If it's not just the sweat getting things wet sounds like you have leakage.

>>88242

Clean your ass in the shower you fat fuck. I shower after every shit and I never have a spec of shit on my ass. It's disgusting, if you stepped in dog shit with your bare feat would you just wipe it off with toilet paper and continue on with your day? I don't fucking think so. So why would you treat your asshole any different. Clean it off like you would any other part of your body that gets shit on it.

I hear horror stories of guys fucking their gf doggy and see shit and toilet paper pieces on her asshole. I mean holy fuck, how sick is that? I once stole a pair of my brothers gf's underwear and it had a brown spot on the asshole area. Man If I ever get a gf and she pulls that shit idk if I will be able to handle it. I need a gf with asshole hygiene standards on par with mine or I don't think it'll work out tbh…

>>88242

Become a clean guy and clean yourself with water every time you take a shit

>>88324

All Muslims clean there arses with water after every shit just sayin'

Maybe you should check what they use,it's a water stream of some sort installed in the stall or something,I guess I read something about the French having an alternative that the rest of the Allies thought was a whore only thing back in WWII They saw it in a brothel

>>88330

All muslims clean their curried arsehole with their hand. That's why having a hand chopped off is such horrible punishment. Have to eat with the same hand they scrape their arse with.

>>88332

Makes sense

>>88330

Muslims might clean the shit off their ass but they'll never clean the shit from their skin…

>>88332

>>88333

Where the fuck do you get your information from, the back of a Doritos bag?

>>88333

nice trips m8

>>88340

Poop is gross amirite fam?

>>88324

I could never do this. I have a nervous stomach so its not uncommon for me to shit 5+ times a day. Noones going back there so wiping is good enough. You got ocd nigger

>>88351

>5 times a day

You probably have ring worm or something nigger wtf… do you weigh 400 pounds, how does sombody even have that much food in them to shit out?

>>88344

Yeah, poop is, like, gross, brah.

>>88374

Was using that many coma's part of your plan?

>>88399

U,U,U,U, are a, big guy

>>88324

>>88324

I wet the toilet paper

cardiofag here. I'm pretty new to weights workout.

I don't really know how much I should be doing. Is 3 sets of 6-8 reps for each exercise ok? or should I do more and decrease the weight, or less and increase the weight?

>>88436

READ THE FUCKING STICKY

A general rule of thumb is:

Hypertrophy - 3 x 8-10

Strength - 5 x 5 ( of 3 x 5 if SS)

Would it harm if I start doing decline pushups hands on a chair or something high enough everyday as a form of just slightly working after sitting/while bored till I can do proper pushups?

Will it give my benchpress a good boost?

Will it fuck with my benchpress/benchpress recovery?

Doing SL here, on the days with Deadlifts I start by doing 5*5 squats, doesn't that pre-fatigue the legs and makes one unable to put full leg drive in the deadlifts, and given that it includes doing both OHPs and squats 5*5 each doesn't that fatigue the entire body to be ready for diddys?

Can I skip squats on that day since I do them on the other day?Can I at least shift Diddylifts and squats and start my workout with diddylifts just after warming up and stretching?

Also, Can't find chalk sandland gyms and shit

Can I replace it with some sort of, I dunno, real chalk that they use to write on blackboards, limestone powder they mix with water for building, that kindda shit?

After starting to get noob gains lifting "home made weights" im deciding to start doing cardio to not be fat. The problem is anytime i run my teeth start to hurt, i started wearing my nightguard i have to wear because i grind my teeth and thats making it less bad but its still a problem, is this normal or am i just fucked? Also how much should my knees hurt before i stop running, i can make it 1.5 miles before its bad right now.

>>88368

I have mild ibs so if he has it worse and gets anxiety thats definitely something that could happen. If im doing something stressfull i maybe go 3 times a day untill theres not much left, its super bad for you though so if thats happening he needs to find a way to either reduce stress or cut down the symptoms somehow.

He also might need to take brobiotics cause you can fuck up the microbial colonies in your poop factory.

>>88441

As a general rule of thumb, you ask questions after you read the sticky, and any question covered in it is to be shamed

There's also a thing between Shitposting and Nopestralia, it's your fault

>>88440

I doubt that doing some pushups will fuck up your bench recovery. If your benching less than your bodyweight then it may give you a boost. Not completely sure about that.

>>88442

I also do SL. I generally only squat twice a week, so you could just skip on thise days if you really want. As regards to your chalk problem:

You COULD use regular chalk, but it will by no means be as effective as the chalk in gyms. Pretty sure that they are made differently.

>>88443

What is this about poop colonies?

>>88446

What about talc powder?

>>88448

You need microbial colonies in your guts to live. The ida behind bro biotics and fecal transplants is that you want to either revitalize the colonies that aid in basic functions or replace them. And yes a fecal transplant is a real thing, and i think i remember a study that indicated people who got fecal transplants from fat people inexplicably gained a lot of weight they otherwise would have metabolised out. Someone tried to use this as a "fat is genetics stop fat shaming me :^DD" but thats 100% weapons grade bolognanium

And actually studying the microbial colonies in invasive species might turn out to be a very important aspect of mature conservation because you might be able to figure out how to kill off the populations via poop despair.

Now whenever you think of microbial biology you should think about weaponizing the poop of whatever you want dead.

Can someone recommend a good PT in sydney australia?

>>88436

A good idea imo is to do the big compound lifts with strength minded sets and the isolation lifts with hypertrphy in mind, bench 5x5 but curl 12-10-8 for example.

>>88440

That's hardly anything, do them if you want though.

>>88442

>doesn't that fatigue the entire body to be ready for diddys?

The point of working out is to fatigue the body, it doesn't matter whith what excercise, i mean squats and deadlifts are different but there's some overlap, you're not stopping from stressing your body and making gains for that, if you can't lift as much in the deadlift it just means that those muscles were alredy fatigued by the squats

>Can I skip squats on that day since I do them on the other day?

nigga no

>Can I at least shift Diddylifts and squats and start my workout with diddylifts just after warming up and stretching?

that sounds alright, it may fuck up your squats later

>Also, Can't find chalk

just grab that shit like a man faggot

>>88443

Your knees shouldn't hurt, your form may be bad or perhaps you're too fat still

I have recently started training seriously and am scared by barbell deadlifts and benchpress exercises. The exercises look simple but I know form is everything and I don't have anyone to spot me especially since I go to the gym at 6 in the morning, there aren't others around who can help me (just 40 year old women on treadmills).

what do

>>88476

Melbfag here, don't bother. With little organisations like Sage fitness popping up and pumping out PT dimploas, there are too many shitty personal trainers who will waste your time. I know because my cousin is one of them. Her PT sessions are attended by fatasses and middle aged women who've never stepped into a gym in their life.

She never incorporates stretching, at all. All her exercises have no focus on proper form and stopping momentum, a lot of them are outright retarded (such as squatting while punching upward into pads, WITH BOTH ARMS) and she only gets money because these idiots don't know better.

My advice to you is to find someone whom you personally know and trust. There's so much information, the last thing you need is some wannabe jackass telling you what they think will work.

>>88516

B-but I love my diddies :^(

I just wanted to advance properly on my diddies because I guess I don't git as much hip drive as opposed to doing them as the sole source of leg work which means I give'em all my hip drive

And about fuckin with squats, I used to work on a smith machine, remember?

I used to lift 85Kg then I dropped it to 60 and going up, so I would appreciate upping my Diddies more than squats

>>88530

Do deadlifts first and squats last then. Should give you plenty of time to recover. I do squats first and deads last, never had a problem.

>>88528

Start with no weight on the bar and build up slowly. You can definitely do it solo if you are sensible about it. You can record yourself if you want to check form from someone elses perspective.

>>88572

those are all skinny fuc bois who dont train their core.

if youve even seen someone that actually lift they have a tree trunk for a waist

>>88621

I can't tell you what to do regarding cardio because I never do it - heavy ass lifting kills my legs and I can barely walk up hills, never mind run. Do whatever you want but as soon as you start lifting 2pl8 you're probably not going to enjoy running any more.

But with respect to working out right after breakfast, I'd suggest against it. To paraphrase Rippetoe, you're either crazy or you're pumped up on a shitton of caffeine in order to do that. Some broscience I read somewhere said you're strongest 3 and 10 hours after you wake up - e.g. if you wake up at 6am, you're better off picking heavy things up at 9am or 4pm.

You might also have heard working out in the morning reduces fat faster and I can tell you that this is a complete sack of shit. It doesn't matter when you work out so long as you do work out.

But if you're dead set on working out in the morning right after breakfast then I'd say you'd want a healthy dose of carbs and caffeine to really get your engine going otherwise you'll crap out halfway through because your body is probably still waking up.

As always, do some more research and don't listen to just me

>>88528

Use the power cage, you know the one with the safety bar on the sides, set them just above your neck when benching.

>>88572

show us that butt…waist first, otherwise we can't give accurate advice dude

>>88618

Train triceps, i'd recommend dumbbell skullcrushers, cable push downs, and that onei don't remember the name where you hold the dumbbell behind your head.

>>88621

If you're gonna jog and lift the same day then have a meal and some hours in between.

> I've read that you should work out right after waking up before breakfast

that's fucking retarded, lifting after fasting? lift a couple of hours after breakfast or right before lunch, that makes more sense.

Is head banging the best neck exercise?

I have a bit of a pencil neck and I want to thicken it up. Would it be better for me to do slow controlled neck crunches or fast intense head bangs?

>inb4 head bangs 5x5

>>88739

No, weighted neck extensions are.

>>88739

>Corey Taylor

FFS Man, and yeah it's a good exercise.

>>88754

Holy shit, I wasn't aware of his neck, what the fuck is wrong with his neck?

Say I have an hour before I go do some hard exercise. What is OK to eat if I am hungry? I have made the mistake of eating a boiled egg once. Beef and milk was also a terrible choice?

>>88757

>what is ok to eat if I'm hungry

Whatever fits your macros and that will stay in your stomach during your workout.

>>88757

Something that digests extremely quickly, but provides a small amount of energy, just enough to actually supply you through your workout ideally. Or something calorie dense and non-intensive to digest.

I'd recommend high-water content fruits, juice, or maybe a cliff bar. Maybe some bread with no salt (such as chapati) or oil, although that's typically not a easy thing to find.

Honestly I'll even drink trashy sugar-water if I know I need the calories simply because it will help my performance, especially if I will be biking or doing cardio.

In general you just want something that will give you energy and digest quickly. You don't want something to sit in your gut, take effort to digest, or make you feel sluggish.

>>88759

Sounds like a recipe for sluggishness and a poor performance.

>>88757

I usually have oatz milk and eggs at least 1hr before any lifting, never have an issue. if i eat and don't wait the hour and am full then it becomes an issue.

>>88757

Bananas

Top pre-workout food

Read up on why

I have been a lazy faggot for long enough and decided some two days ago to start reading what to do. I am really underweight, weighing around 55kg (18yo). I am going to start doing the Big Six routine that appears in the ss.fitness website every two days.

Questions are, should I do any cardio besides the usual warmup since I have little fat to burn?

Are beans and soy foods a good source of protein if I rarely eat meat?

And last, I plan on getting creatine, should I get whey protein as well?

>>88810

>Questions are, should I do any cardio besides the usual warmup since I have little fat to burn?

As long as you eat enough, especially (decent) fats if you want to gain weight, yes. If you don't, and can't make yourself eat more, then don't do it much.

>Are beans and soy foods a good source of protein if I rarely eat meat?

They're alright. Nothing wrong with either of them, but if you want to gain weight I'd seriously recommend huge bowls of oatmeal. Personally I have a 1200+ calorie bowl of it every night or two to keep weight on because I'm so active.

>I plan on getting creatine, should I get whey protein as well?

There's no reason to get on whey especially if you're getting enough protein, it tastes like shit, they can lie about how much protein is in there, it's not cheap, and apparently whey is one of the worst forms of protein for your body. So no.

To put it simply you can eat plan baked potatoes and get more protein per $ than whey protein powder, and arguably in a better way as potatoes come with tons of vitamins and minerals. It'd just mean more calories, which depending on your diet may or may not effect you, although even if your diet is shit and it does, you could just add in the cardio to compensate. Cardio will only benefit you and your gains if you have enough fuel and rest after all.

>>88810

Don't do any cardio if your that skinny and trying to gain weight. Creatine isn't worth it and is a waste of money. Soy is a shit form of protein and will lower test. Whey is good get it and mix with whole milk instead of water. And eat some meat faggot that's why your such a twink.

>>88811

Oh look, its this namefag again.

>>88810

Don't listen to that faggot. Not sure if he's a troll or what but he gives absolutely SHIT advice. Whey protein is one of the BEST sources of protien. And you DO NOT want to do cardio and burn calories if your a skinny twink. The entire reason your skinny in the first place is because you have trouble eating enough calories like a normal person, all cardio will do is make it that much harder to get enough calories.

Read up on - calories in vs calories out…

God I wish the mods would permanent this fag. I guarantee his body looks like shit.

>>88812

>Soy is a shit form of protein and will lower test.

It's not ideal, but it won't lower testosterone.

The main problem is that it does raise IGF-1 levels to a good degree, just as all animal-foods do. Other than that though, it's fine. You can easily eat 3-5 serving a day with no problem.

It's protein quality is just fine however, and it doesn't fuck with your hormones, and actually meat does because bovine hormones are more effective in animals than plant hormones. Who would have guessed?

>>88814

Go eat a tree you vegan homo. Stop trying to attention whore with your name fagging shit.

>>88811

Taking a quick google search, I think it might be apt to ignore you.

>>88812

Thanks for telling me this, and it seems very plausible in fact because I rarely get excited when looking at women, and don't even fap.

Can I still recover my testosterone levels even after eating so much of this shit for so long?

And I ask about protein sources because I live with my family and my mother is a vegetarian, not to mention that meat is ridiculously expensive. Otherwise I would make my own food.

>>88813

No worries, I'm starting to eat more even if I don't feel that hungry.

>>88815

What a quality post!

>>88817

Taking a quick google search on what? The effect of soy protein?

Well, did you search google or google scholar?

Because when I searched google scholar, the non-article bullshit me fam section, the academic one, with "Soy protein testosterone men" I get this.

http://www.fertstert.org/article/S0015-0282%2809%2900966-2/abstract?cc=y=

A meta-analysis of tons of studies in which the conclusion is that "No significant effects of soy protein or isoflavone intake on T, SHBG, free T, or FAI were detected regardless of statistical model."

And to go into a more basic conclusion for the meta-analysis's goal, "The results of this meta-analysis suggest that neither soy foods nor isoflavone supplements alter measures of bioavailable T concentrations in men."

So in other words, these dumb niggers are fucking wrong and so are you for believing click-bait men's health magazine-websites.

>And I ask about protein sources because I live with my family and my mother is a vegetarian, not to mention that meat is ridiculously expensive. Otherwise I would make my own food.

Great, more delusional brainwashed spit. Vegans have higher testosterone than meat eaters AND vegetarians. Vegetarians have about the same as meat-eaters.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2374537/pdf/83-6691152a.pdf

>>88813

>Whey protein is one of the BEST sources of protien.

You sound like Hillary Clinton.

How? You always say things, what you're going to do, but you never mention how or why.

Again with your delusional calories in calories out nonsense that was disproven long ago and which makes no sense whatsoever as you do not adsorb all that you consume, nor do you always use the same amount of energy while sedentary, or while moving actually.

Kill yourself, baboon.

>>88817

>I rarely get excited when looking at women, and don't even fap.

Also, this sounds like you're either a true faggot or a pedophile to be quite honest.

Just be honest with yourself.

Or you're just not a normie baboon who's a fucking savage.

>>88817

Yes you can raise your test back to normal levels if you remove soy from your diet. Part of the reason you have low libido is probably because your mom's a vegetarian so I'm guessing you don't eat meat, along with eating alot soy makes a bad combo. Meat, red meat in particular will help raise your test. If you don't/can't eat meat fine, whey should help substitute some of the protein you'll be losing from not eating meat. And get some healthy fats into your diet aswell they are essential for healthy hormone production. Whole milk is one of the best vegetarians can drink milk right? and it's also one of the cheapest forms of calories you can get.

>>88830

He's a real human soybean :^)

>>88825

Please remove yourself, your advice is irresponsible.

I've already cited how non-meat eaters have more T, so I doubt get how red meat would help that. Can't cite against it though, as it's not even study-worthy apparently.

Whole milk is horrid fats. Have walnuts, Chia seeds, hemp seeds.

>>88830

>A meta-analysis is from soy-bean sellers

Damn, who knew even more credibly conducted studies/reviews are all propaganda!

Go be an idiot elsewhere kraut.

>>88836

>I never claimed!

Doesn't matter, my point still stands, it's not accurate, it's unpredictable, and it's not accurately measurable. It also doesn't take into account the processes that take place with the different types of foods, hormones, caloric-source, etc, that is processed differently and with differing efficiency.

>Also soy DOES lower test…

You know what, you're right.

You are more like trump. A hard hitting retard who has no fucking idea about what he's doing or what reality is based on, but hey, you'll say your bullshit with no fear.

I already cited that it doesn't.

>that's a nice article you linked but for every article like that there is another one saying the exact oppisite.

That's not an article, that's a scientific meta-analysis dumbass. That means it's not an article. Not an opinion. It's statistics (data) from tons of studies, with tens (or hundreds) of thousands of individuals proving soy doesn't affect bioavalible testosterone in men.

>Believe it or not vegan is not the best way to go and isnt the healthiest either.

Well it's certainly better than what you're pedaling.

Outside of something that is not public knowledge, I'd not believe it.

>How many vegan bodybuilders have you seen?

How many vegans do you see? How many have the goal of being a big guy?

From vegan bodybuilders there are on average they're much more successful than meat-eating ones.

>Not many, most bodybuilders who claim to be vegan got to where they were by eating a traditional meat based non autistic diet

Not really.

Most started non-vegan as they were ignorant savages, then saw the light, changed, and continued making all kinds of gains, from physical, strength, psychological, health, etc.

Out of the ones who started vegans, which aren't many that I know of, they've done great.

>Any bodybuilder in decent shape just adopted the vegan shit because news flash, it's a FAD!

Because they look okay and they go vegan and look better and are better in every way means it's a fad? Alright, dumbass.

>Please prove me wrong and post your current body.

It'd be meaningless to do so as you explain in the next sentence you posted.

>Not saying it's impossible but it's extremely hard to meet your macros by eating only plants with no real benefit other than being able to LARP like your somehow healthier because of it.

It's not hard to hit my macros: I don't have any.

I eat generally 90/5/5, sometimes a bit more sometimes a bit less. Usually a little more fat and protein, so 85% carb, 6% fat 8% protein.

I just eat like a king and like I deserve. 5-6k+ calories a day. That's easily 125g+ protein a day without even trying. I don't really ever eat soy aside from maybe a cliff bar every now and again either.

Another benefit other than being healthy is not being a savage, not feeling tired, never feeling sore, always having tons of energy, being able to eat as much as I want, never needing to reduce calories, eat cheaper, likely live longer, etc etc.

Sheesh you really are disabled, as I said before, bernie won't do shit either.

America is done, and it's thanks to capitalism and dumbasses who want less taxes. This is why our infrastructure is shit. This is why we don't use cheaper more efficient energy sources. This is why people work shit McDonalds jobs instead of even fucking doing nothing and potentially creating something.

There is no recovery for America, the time has passed, it will take too long to recover what it has brought upon it's self. It may take a decade, maybe even two, but ever so slowly America's grip will slip into oblivion and the east will overtake America, with the new global super-power being China, all because Americans were too ignorant, stupid, brainwashed, and generally stuck in their ways.

I honestly want trump to win just because he will cause the end of the United States sooner, as hillary will remain status quo, and bernie may just keep it alive while we slowly slip more and more behind.

It's too late.

>>88866

The above goes to you too, lad.

As you said before, it doesn't matter if I do (basically), and thus I won't post one.

You'll just say I started eating meat, or it's not me because that pic isn't a fat pedo, or you'll just say I look like shit even though I look better than you.

I haven't cited a source because I prefer to use pubmeds for evidence rather than men's health articles like most on this board seem to prefer, and thus there hasn't been any study other than studies where they feed an individual extra nuts and they do not gain weight.

The reason for no weight gain is because nuts aren't asbioavalible, especially in whole form, especially uncooked and/or underchewed.

I can cite that if you want.

Other than that though, if you take basic concepts of human physiology you would know it doesn't work because the body adapts to it's conditions, it changes it's way of using energy and the amount based on it's situation, and it depends upon absorption, etc.

You even seem to be agreeing now that it's not accurate, it's only approximate. You're fucking slipping from your position as you know you're wrong. If it's "accurate enough to work" it doesn't fucking work and it's not correct, as you're having to give it room to work. This is like saying that if I run 10miles for 50minutes I can run 10miles in an hour, which is not fucking true and it's not correct. It doesn't fucking work, you're justifying your statements.

>You even seem to be agreeing now that it's not accurate, it's only approximate. You're fucking slipping from your position

How am I slipping from my position you fucking retard? I've never taken the position that calories in vs calories out was 100% accurate. In fact it's impossible to know 100% everything your putting into your body. No 2 eggs will ever have the exact same nutrient value. Yes it's approximate. Every diet where you try to keep track of what your eating is approximate. I've never taken the position opposing that either. And no I dont prefer men's health articles I prefer to go by what the bodybuilding community has been going by for years. Calories I'm vs calories out works and there are hundreds and thousands to attest to that. From professional bodybuilders all the way to your casual gym bro's.

>If its"accurate enough to work" it doesn't fucking work

Well that makes alot of fucking sense dipshit.

>there hasn't been any study other than studies where they feed an individual extra nuts and they do not gain weight. The reason for no weight gain is because nuts aren't asbioavalible

So your saying there are no studies to disprove it? Funny since you've said multiple times that calories in vs calories out has "been disproven decades ago". Also the nut study you mentioned, it wouldnt happen be a study you and your boyfriend conducted on your own would it?

>This is like saying that if I run 10miles for 50minutes I can run 10miles in an hour, which

>10 miles for

>10 miles in

I'm gonna assume that's a typo and I'm not reading it wrong. But that's not a very accurate metaphor either way. A better one would be

>you have to drive somewhere.

>you have an hour to get to your destination.

>day 1 it takes you over and hour to get to your destination

What do you do? Leave earlier next time add calories

>day 2 it takes you 45 mins to get to the destination.

Day 3 it takes your over an hour again due to traffic, aka variables..

What do you do? You check the traffic next time and leave accordingly. if you know you've expended extra calories that day then eat a little extra to make up for variables in calorie expendature like leaving earlier when you know there's heavy traffic.

I was here a week or two ago

I still can't run much. I finished off my cardio with 4 minutes of running at 7.5 mp/h at an 8% incline. It hurt, and not in a good way. My sides got stabbing pains and I nearly hurled. I have only been able to build up 1:30 on my run time.

The fuck is wrong with me? I used to hike nonstop and do speedwalks for cardio but running kills me. My chest almost feels congested and I can't breathe right.

I can speedwalk easily for up to 5 miles, and I've walked 15 miles a day before with no problem, but running fucking kills me.

halp /fit/

Are there any good free weight back exercises other than bent over rows? Bent over rows fucking suck. I usually train fasted, but if I don't then bent over rows make me reflux like crazy and sometimes push out burps. They also make me feel like my colon is going to shoot out my ass, and sometimes cause anal leakage, even if I've already taken a shit recently.

>>88921

You can do that thing where you have your hand and your knee on the bench and pull weights up, whatever it's called. It's basically bent over rows with dumbbells.

>Being an economic liberal

The sad thing is outside of your warped view of the world, I'm not a liberal, historically or literally in today's definition.

You likely are.

It's really a shame what American brainwashing did to you Germans over the course of the so-called "cold war." Y'all used to like and trust your government, you used to understand the fundamental flaws with the free market and the lack of efficiency in regards to it, and now you just suckle on the pinky toe of America like fucking cucks, despite disliking your situation as a cuck.

If you don't get heart disease and die before the time comes, hopefully by then you'll have remembered the flaws, otherwise you'll likely be crushed and subjected forcefully again by a different super-power: China.

So anecdotal evidence is now evidence? Okay.

I guess we should all give our babies cocoa cola instead of breast milk, especially if they're sick, as it's better too, right? I mean, that's what they used to do, or recommend, doctors.

How about we also all start smoking Cambell cigarettes because all the doctors recommend it and smoke them and they're healthy as can be.

How about we all eat tons of protein and meat, because hey, people make gains on it and aren't dead (yet), DESPITE IT BEING PROVEN DANGEROUS TO ONES HEALTH and people also make gains without it just as good (if not better, scientifically speaking).

Funny how if and when I say/said that you'll/you'd get all pissy saying that's bullshit and I am lying or wrong. What a fucking halfwit.

>Well that makes alot of fucking sense dipshit.

Seeing as I can say "it's close enough to work" and give you a bottle of olive oil to live off of (with a multivitamin) means it doesn't fucking work if we're talking about good health and/or nutrition.

>Funny since you've said multiple times that calories in vs calories out has "been disproven decades ago".

Wait a second, I thought you didn't need a study to disprove something, hell you don't even need science, all you need is gymbros!

Really though, it's been disproved by science through what I've already explained, AS WELL AS nut-studies. Stop skirting around you having a shit argument funnyman.

>if you know you've expended extra calories that day then eat a little extra to make up for variables in calorie expendature like leaving earlier when you know there's heavy traffic.

I THOUGHT YOU COULDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH YOU "SPENT."

That's nothing like the situation, as you don't know when you get there or when you need to be in this one. It's a fucking guess. And guess what? Apparently this rode bends and stretches if you leave later or sooner.

What a fucking joke.

Keep Running.

Honestly it's probably either complete cardio inactivity, or a some disease you've developed from not being active enough or eating poorly.

Nigga, u wot? No one on Germany has ever even heard of libertarianism. Our constitution actually has welfare as an immutable principle of government, and talks about the social responsibility of property owners. One of my teachers flat-out told us that he thinks socialism is a good idea for developing countries, and made us read a theatre piece of Berthold Brecht, a socialist author, with a blatant socialist message behind it. Our most market-friendly party with any kind of success supports the EU, a huge governmental organization dealing out a fuckton of subsidies and strengthening customer rights, along other things.

What the hell is the secret to cardio? Just running and getting your heart rate up/sweating for an hour every day?

How long to gain an inch on arms with only curls and bodyweight exercises? I'm extremely skinny too btw.

Are salted cashews unhealthy compared to regular cashews? Is too much salt bad for you?

>>88942

Holy shit, stop this insane memeposting and namefagging, you already know we don't like vegans and their shitty agenda, stop trying to convert us into this stupidity, you're only spamming text in the wrong thread and not helping at all, fuck off and die you cunt.

>>88978

Just do more cardio and it gets easier, try to set a goal like 15 minutes then add 1 minute per day until it becomes easier and you reach thirty minutes or more, you don't exactly need 1 hour of cardio, 30 minutes of running is enough.

>>88982

Too much salt will make you hold more water, you will feel bloated as fuck if using in excess, but I recommend a decent amount of salt a day, like 1 tablespoon of salt per meal and you're ok.

>>88986

So eating salted cashews after exercise (plus drinking some water) will be fine?

>>88987

Yep, salt is good for you, the excess will fuck you up tho.

Btw, quick question lads, I'm having problems with me knees by now, when I'm going to the bottom position of the squat I can feel them getting pressure and going out of the position like they're failing to hold the weight and going under my hips I sincerely don't know how to describe it, sorry Resume of the Opera: Knees are weak and I feel them a little light when finishing my set, what should I do to correct it?

>>88978

just like lifting is more complicated than simply throwing weight up & down, cardio consists of many factors aswell

your runnin technique, your breathing technique, your footwear, the temperature you are running at, the height you are running at etc.

>>88990

are you the brazil that lifts barefoot? get squat shoes

if you have decent shoes then start using wraps

>>88442

Old question but I'm going to answer it.

Yes you squat and deadlift on the same day. If you actually read the plan, you would understand it. You squat, then take your time doing overhead press to let your legs rest, then you deadlift. The muscles worked by OHP are not super involved in the deadlift.

Squat

Then do OHP

Then if you want to take some extra rest, fine.

Then deadlift like a madman.

Enjoy the gainz

>>88997

Yeah, I'm brazil who lifts Zercher and Barefoot MASTER RACE I will try to find a pair of squat shoes if possible, but for now I'm using little pl8s to help with depth and such, thanks for the answer mate.

Whenever I squat, even without anything but body weight, I can feel a weird tension on a tendon in my left knee. It's the one at the bottom left. It doesn't hurt but I feel it sort of pop, I guess you can say, and it's uncomfortable. All the results I see on search engines are for knees creaking like you're cracking your knuckles. That's not what's happening. It's not audible. It's just a weird tension in a tendon and it worries me that I'm going to strain it somehow. It happens at pretty much every angle but straight ahead and that's not how I should squat with weights.

Is that normal or am I riding the tendon train to snap city?

>>89017

General consensus is that most are good except for choreographed Chinese martial arts. Just watch out for McDojos. You should also learn a grappling art. Personally I do Muay Thai and Sambo.

>>88998

Well, that's what I did…Squat, OHP then Deadlift

It was awful though and I was struggling

This Monday I started by doing deadlifts, fixed my stance slightly by using a narrower stance and ate properly before working out with a surplus

Deadlifted the hell out of the barbell, squats didn't suffer, feels good man

>>88981

ANSWER MAY

>>88981

>>89107

Exactly twenty-eight days and fourty-five minutes, provided you do exactly ninety-three reps at seventy-two percent of your one-rep max, but only for sets of nine and one set of three.

Seriously, nigger, how the fuck should we know? Real life isn't a video game and no one can tell you how many XP you need to level up.

This seems like it could be a good idea. I know there is fitocracy but is there anything else similar thats not for spastics?

Okay I started the SL routine today, did squats, bench press and barbell row at the half decent gym I go to. Is there anything I can do if I can't make my own gym to prevent accidents? The possibility of being crushed under the bar is fucking terrifying.

>>89135

Simple. If you have any doubt that you can't do the next rep, dont do it. Save it for next time.

I almost fucked up my back doing OHP the other day

I hyperextended my lumbar spine In layman terms, I curved my lower back forward

Would switching to seated OHP solve the problem it solved it for my friend

I did that for 3 or 4 times without increasing the weight saying "If it's too heavy at the moment it will be easier next time"

Should I just deload till I can do proper form?

Also should I brace my core and tighten it like in a squat or a deadlift? when I do that my body gets tight and it limits the mobility of my shoulder

Also, suggest the amount of increments per training session doing SL

Some infograph in the info images sticky said I should increase 2.5 kg per lift except for deadlift, 5 kg

Is that reasonable

>inb4 only if you do it with proper form and without help

I know that

>>89063

Dont listen to veganposter hes the worst kind of idiot, one who thinks he knows what hes doing.

The reason running is so hard to get into is that it demads a great deal from your lungs and cardiovascular system in general. The only way to get better is to simply keep doing it, ideally every day if you can. You could also give hiit or weighted sleigh training if you want to improve conditioning in a more time efficent manner.

>>89144

you have to brace your core and you should be doing it for all lifts. the reason you're hyper extending is because you have no support

>>89167

Correction, I'd ask someone for a spot only on the bench, squat spots are uncomfortably close.

>>89167

Don't recommend him a fucking belt, it will literally waste his core, and he will not learn how to use it properly.

>>89144

Just make your core tight sufficiently to make a decent base for your spine, I pulled a back muscle doing OHP when I tried to lower the bar nigga without a rack here and I seriously fucked up, I recommend doing more core work to prevent these kinds of shitty situations, other than that you're OK, and doing OHP in your own foot is better, you will learn how to carry weights above your head and it helps build your legs and core in the process.

>>89167

That's the thing, my gym's equipment is not that safe. The only squat rack is the usual one with just an adjustable rack.

Hey guys, so my fiance that I've been dating for about a year and a half has recently started becoming "too tired" for sex and I can't figure out what's going on. We had sex about 7 days in a row 2 weeks ago, but one night she randomly said "not tonight" so I assumed she was just honestly tired and gave her the night for rest. Since then however, sex has become extremely sporadic (I do all of the initiating as well, and get shot down often) and I've confronted her about it multiple times, but she just tells me that she doesn't feel attractive anymore (to paraphrase) she is chubby, but very cute and I tell her that. We both do go to the gym, but it has been a few weeks since we've both gone mostly because my new job is already very physical and I'm making gains just by working tbh fam. So my question is, does a girl really lose her sex drive when she feels unattractive? Our relationship is otherwise great. I got really insecure about the lack of sex and went through her phone, she was still getting junk email from a dating website of guys that messaged her, what bugged me was that she looked at them (the emails), I almost left her for this alone, but she showed me that she couldn't actually read the messages when she pressed the link and it had shown that you had to pay, so she couldn't actually read the messages and she was bawling at the thought of losing me, my other question is, do you think I can trust her? I used to be certain that she would never cheat on me, but now I'm not so sure.

>>89193

1. She might not be attracted to you anymore.

2. She really might not feel attractive herself anymore.

3. She might be depressed.

Or any combination of the three. My advice: Don't jump to conclusions. Remain skeptical, but don't tell yourself that your relationship is already lost. That kind of anxiety will solve nothing; it won't even make the breakup any easier on you, if that's what it will come to. Stay optimistal, be there for her, remain open to all possibilities while trying not to become a paranoid shithead. Good luck, and keep us updated. I wish you the best.-

>>89197

bearing in mind that if #1 is the case, there's more to attractiveness than physical appearance. not that being swole is attractive anyways;_;

>>89198

>wanting to do the roll of shame

>>89179

Agree, belts are useful but shouldnt be used to mask shitty form. If your core is too weak to do the lift, so are you.

>OHP

I love this lift, to me it doesnt feel legit unless it starts and ends on the floor. Dropping the weight seems like it would be necessary when (if i ever do) get to 100kg+.

>>89217

That's a clean and press, not OHP, anon.

>>89168

>close

>uncomfortable

>>89186

>The only squat rack is the usual one with just an adjustable rack.

What do you mean? can't you grab a bench and put it in the rack and bench there? if anything just ask for a spot

>>89144

>Should I just deload till I can do proper form?

recommended

>Also should I brace my core and tighten it like in a squat or a deadlift?

yup

>when I do that my body gets tight and it limits the mobility of my shoulder

why?

>Is that reasonable

not forever, but if you're just starting then it's realistic

morning vs evening workout

>>89197

She is diagnosed depressed. We talked it over this morning and she made it very clear that she loves me and finds me attractive, also that she honestly doesn't have any self worth. So we agreed to start hitting the gym together again every day, no exceptions. I'm optimistic for our future and fugging her soon to be fit bod, thanks for the response German bro.

>>89260

Whenever you feel the most energized and if it fits your schedule

>>89305

I think you're shitposting you bloody aussie.

>>89305

fat

Quick question again lads, you fuckers didn't helped me last time :( Anyway, I think I stalled at 2.5pl8 in the deadlift, how to deal with it? I'm trying to get some volume going on, doing 1x5 with 75kg, 95kg and 115kg, so that's 3x5 and I think that's a pretty decent volume along with some strength and grip gains, Do you guys think I should load with less weight by now? like 2kg instead of 4 or just push myself a little harder?

>>89318

I would try the absolute best at your current weight for deadlift. If you're still failing after a couple of times, deloading would be the best course of action.

pre vs post workout cardio

>>89326

Caffeine and carbs for pre and a protein shake or carbs after, both are ok to do but you don't exactly need it, I suggest eating your protein after working out but that's my kind of broscience.

>Deload

Alternative: Just do pyramid sets, except you keep your reps stable. This way, you actually do perfect your form, because you'll have to try it out on heavier sets, instead of muscling your way through every form error you encounter.

Also, you still get gains, and it's easy to autoregulate.

>>89232

So it is, probably should have realized that.

>>89326

What cardio is it? Big difference between an hour+ and 10 minutes. I only do 20 minutes so i can throw it in between squats and bench. Have been considering doing it on off days instead but can never be arsed.

What is the point of plyometrics? Is there an advantage of going fast vs heavy, or vise versa? I try to do power cleans but I need to take a 5+ second rest between reps.

Train fasted. Test boost.

I usually workout 3 days a week doing SL, usually it's Saturday, Monday and Wednesday

But I feel tired as fuck, sleepy, out of my element and could use today's rest Not to mention I did a shitton of grip exercise till my thumb started twitching yesterday and have deadlifts first thing this week

Can I just start this week on Sunday and finish it on Friday and perhaps do some cardio or just rest and sleep early?

Also can I skip a rest day in the middle of the week if if comes to it given that I will not be adding any extra weight trying to check my form and make the weight easier to lift

>>89424

Finish it on Thursday*

>>89424

Yes. Lifting is not accounting.

>>89328

>cardio

>>89326

I normally do 5 min in the elliptical as warm up as for actual cardio i'd recommend ahaving at least a meal and few hours in between.

>>89305

fat fuck

>>89424

It won't make a difference, be disciplined though, remember that.

How much does fapping exercise you? I feel like y right hand grip is stronger.

>>89484

if you're crushing your penis, then you're working it out pretty well, but not exactly, I think that's normal.

>>89484

It's probably other things you're gripping as hard as you can that cause your right's grip strength to be so strong.

Does fapping kill gains?

where da current /fit/ information repository link at

>>89508

Yes, fap only once every 5 days to maximize testosterone. Seriously.

>>89518

The stickies?

>>89508

It doesn't. It affects total testosterone, not free testosterone. Only the latter is biologically available.

>>89484

That's because it is your dominant hand.

I'm having a hard time pushing myself. I can't overcome my resistance to that extra rep or set.

Last time I started working out I was able to plough through and push myself every session but now I just get a sick feeling in my stomach and there's nothing pushing me on.

Where do people get the energy to drive them through? Cortisol?

>>89525

Think about something that makes you really angry. Your girlfriend leaving you for Jason Unruhe or something. Alternatively, tell yourself that something terrible will happen if you miss the set.

>>89526

Even if I had a gf I could think about her leaving me atm and I'd be like 'oh she's a slut, well best to lose her then'.

I'll find something.

Why do you keep coming back to this worthless board, dumbass?

>>89546

are you actually a sweat-for-health shill or just pretending?

>>89549

nice sage

>>89484

My right bicep is bigger than my left's, not as noticeable anymore though and yes it will affect your grip.

>>89525

Are you eating and sleeping well?

I'm picking myself back up

or trying to I guess by going back to college this summer or autumn to get a job

other than that I'm a lazy fat fuck

my mind compensates by saying 'oh you're good at your hobbies' 'its better to spend time practicing than to get tired!' etc.

I'm worried about my health sometimes because I eat shitty food when I'm hungry.

oh, I shower and clean my room but I don't brush my teeth. Huge problem in that too.

so what should I do about my compensating mind problem?

basically I'm a mess

>>89612

If you're losing weight you're gonna be able to deadlift more on the bar. I don't think there's such a thing as "lazy muscles learning to work"

Does anybody have the video or link with the old russian guy claiming to do crazy lifts. Like him racking 1000lb on a bar and then squating down a centimeter, or him racking 1000lb on a t bar lifting it up an inch and claiming 1000lb one handed deadlift?

How much volume do you guys think can be considered good enough to train your deadlift and squats? 5x5?

>>89689

With what goal in mind? 5x5 is a middle ground between strength and hypertrophy. If that's what you want, then 5x5 is good. If you want strenghtm then do fewer reps with more weight. If you want more mass do more reps with less weight.

>>89693

I know, I need some grip gains, so I'm trying to pyramid between 75kg and 125kg until I can do 125 with overhand grip for 5 reps without struggling too much. But I think I will need some volume going on with a decent amount of weight, what do you suggest? solely for grip, because I'm already training for strength.

>>89697

For grip strength, do hanging deadlifts. Deadlift up as much weight as you can hold, then just stay there any hold on to it as long as you can before you put the weight down.

>>89697

Wrist curls. Support your forearm on something and lift a dumbbell -45 to 45 degrees. Start light because it'll surprise you.

>>89621

> I don't think there's such a thing as "lazy muscles learning to work"

Actually there is, your nervious system won't know how to best use your muscles if you've never lifted before.

>>89749

pretty good post

>>89697

farmer walks, pull/chin ups, shurgs

>>89749

Boil it for 25~30 minutes, 10 to 15 minutes more than that can cause some nutrient loss, if you want the meat more soft then I suggest cooking it aside from the veggies.

>>89757

Thanks man.

I've been eating so many veggies and shit lately that I'm having to force myself to hunt down proteins to prevent gainz loss and it's a bitch. I've been eyeballing the protein powders and shit, any you'd recommend? I don't want it just for workouts but as a general use protein so I make sure I get enough in the day.

>>89761

From what ive found protein powders are much thr same so just go with thr cheapest one. You probably want to pick a flavour thats not shit but thats all you need to consider.

Hey guys, my knees fuckin' hurt

>inb4 Squat form

I have been squatting for months without problem, I can lift the weight without much struggle and I think my form is pretty solid

And to my surprise, only time of the day when my knees don't hurt is when I'm squatting, the pain just goes away after warming up and walking

I am by no means "sitting all day", I walk a lot throughout the day and go up and down the stairs frequently and I am on the 6th fuckin floor

>>89772

After warming up and squatting*

Sorry, also, the pain returns after cooling down

>>89772

I have the same issue, and asked about it in the last thread. Got jack shit for an answer. If you find out let me know.

Is it normal to feel like you just ran a mile after doing squats? Do I just need to do more cardio? Bad form?

>>89828

If squats don't feel like getting on the bad side of a south american military dictatorship, you're not doing them right. Nothing to worry about.

I'm an ex fatso

I kind of am still losing weight, about 20-30 more pounds. I measured my waist today and made an estimation on what'd be when i lose the fat there, and I came up to 26.5 inches. I'm currently 28.5 inches in the waist.

Am I fucked?

Im normal weight and wear a 30 inch waist size jeans. How are you 20-30lb overweight and less than me?

>>89817

Nigga this is just retarded, its not a case of overtraining or anything like that. Just dont be fucking stupid.

I asked a few questions in the last QTDDTOT-thread. I was the guy with the abyssmal OHP. Just wanted to say that my squat is going back up once more. I got my PR from 210 lbs to 230 lbs today, after "warming up" with four or five singles, with my leg and back sore, and after an hour or so of deadlifting AND I deadlifted yesterday, too. I feel like it won't be long until I hit 265 lbs.

Thanks for being there, guys.

>>89883

Press more often, wide your grip a little bit I have some long ass arms, so I put my grip a little outside of my shoulder width eat more and try to bench more, do some lateral and frontal raises, it will help, I went from 45kg to 60kg in a matter of a month doing it. 3x5

>>89618

> but I don't brush my teeth

i just came from the dentist to get rid of dental calculus. this shit is painful as fuck (they basically take a superfast vibrating hook and go under your gum to get rid of that stuff). brush your fucking teeth or your goddamn upper jaw bone will start to soften and displace your teeth before they fall out.

how the fuck are you gonna eat chicken without teeth you faggot?

>>89904

>dental calculus

And I thought regular calculus sucked

But really, brush your teeth, and floss too. I just noticed today that a ton of shit gets stuck between your teeth and it's actually really nasty. Take care of your teeth as well as your gains.

Are there any exercises I should add to SS for a more aesthetic approach?

You don't do GOMAD. That's pretty much it. SS is a great program. Doesn't mean you should chug an entire gallon of milk every day unless you absolutely have to.

>>89917

Like the third guy there, for instance. He was already chubby, what the fuck would he need to do GOMAD for? GOMAD is just a blanket suggestion for skeletons who "totally can't gain any weight bro", because you will gain weight on it, no matter what.

>>89930

the pictures in #3 were reversed to make an epic meme about SS not being for fatties

>>89937

ebin xDDDDD

>>89817

If this happened just once, I wouldn't worry about it. If it's a recurring thing, though, examine your sleep habits (staying up too late? sleeping in?) and caffeine use (you want it to be low enough that pre-workout coffee has a noticeable effect). Also for having energy on on day, don't neglect pre-workout carbs. If I get restless on my off day, I do cardio, which tires me out for a good sleep, but also doesn't affect my ability to lift the next day.

What's a good workout for the 'bliques? no meme intended

Seems like a controversial topic.

Is there a cheap stimulant that can be used instead of caffeine, so I can avoid becoming addicted to caffeine and losing my +5 REF bonus from taking it?

>>89942

Here are some:

Muscular imbalance perhaps? you should stretch

>>89817

Isn't it sort of the same thing at the end though?

>>89828

Germany's right, if you can run a mile then your squats were not intense enough, leave cardio for another time.

>>89863

no

>>89946

Ephedrine isn't addictive but you build a quick tolerance. Unless you are 35+ I doubt you will develop a serious caffeine dependence.

I still would like an answer

>>89961

i don't get it it is what my dictionary and google gave me

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_%28dental%29

>>89965

GOMAD is fucking retarded and no one does SS correctly. Other than that, the routine works but it's mediocre, because it isn't individualized and because it has too little volume. For ultimate gains, you switch between Smolov Squats and the Bulgarian Method.

>>89961

He spelled it correctly.

>Be me

>Doing deadlifts today in the gym

>125Kg

>Giving them my all

>Sweat heavily because caffeine before workout

>Start workout with deadlifts (a tweak to SL)

>Pretty sure form is solid

>Maybe got fatigued and lost a little hip drive near the last rep of 5

>Dude stops me after 4th rep

>The dude has a decent physique

>Talks nicely

>Bruh:"What are you doing?"

>Me:"Deadlifts"

>Bruh"Okay you know what you're doing, why are you doing deadlifts"

>Me:"My program incorporates deadlifts"

>Bruh:"But, dude, everytime I see you here you're deadlifting"

>Me:"Just coincidence, I deadlift once or twice a week, 5 reps each session"

>Bruh:"But, aren't you going to heavy?Are you training as an Olympic lifter?"

>Me:"No, just general strength"

>Bruh:"How old are you again?"

>Me:"16"

>Bruh:"Damn! with that wait and your age, you are going to fuck with your growth man, and fuck your back in process"

>Me:"But my form-"

>Bruh: something about my form being good and "The weight is still too heavy"

>Bruh, now joined by bruh 2:"You should develop your back entirely to make support for your back, then go on deadlifts, and you shouldn't go too heavy like this"

>Me:"T-Thanks for the advice"

>Later on talking with another gym patron, it was only the 2 of us in the gym

>Nohomo

>He was finishing his workout, he's a doctor

>Me:"Hey doc!"

>Doc:"Hey!"

>Me:"I wanted to ask you about deadlifts, done in proper form and all, what's your take"

>Docbruh:same thing about me being too young and not training as a weight lifter, also something about me exceeding my limits

>Docbruh:"Dude, I have been lifting for long enough and have seen many, including friends fuck their backs through deadlifts, and I mean really fuck their backs, not just regular injury, an it's a bodybuilder friend of mine I am talking about in particular"

>Me:"But they are essential, no?"

>Docbruh:"They are great, but too risky, especially with heavy weights"

>Docbruh:"You should focus on other muscles to give them strength to support the deads, and I am not talking about 'hitting the chest', I am talking about your deltoids and your traps, and your back as a whole before doing heavy deads"

>Me:"But they are only 1.25Kgs"

>Docbruh:"Exactly, how old are you anon?"

>Me:"16"

>Docbruh:"Dude! you are still growing and you're already fucking with it, If I were you I would wait till I'm 18 at least" (accompanied by something about me grinding my vertebrae together and ramming the cartiledge in the middle)

Okay /fit/, story time is over

Are they right, are deads bad for me?It's worth mentioning that the Docbruh was YUUUUGE and that all of the aforementioned bruhs are older in the gym and have been training for many many years, one of them (first dude) was a PT at the age of 16 (or so he says) and might have some medical knowledge (Or so I assume from his lingo)

Or are those dudes just jealous of my gainz?

>>89965

Add pull ups and dips. I don't remember the exact protocol but if you read the book, it is recommended to add pull ups, dips, and back extensions/glute ham raises after a while.

>>89975

If you can pull 125kg your back is developed enough for deadlifts. Working on the back to prepare for deadlifts is something done for people who were previously sedentary, or small females who lack the torso size to help prevent injury. The fact that he stopped you mid set shows he is an asshole.

I have identical bruises on either should blade from the barbell. Has that happened to anyone else?

>>89978

Thank you

I'm a spooky skelly, will getting /fit/ add to my waistline?

>>89980

Nope. You're just a pussy.

>>89980

I assume I had it once, it's probably from squats, the bat might have slipped out of position and rested on your blades or some thing

>>89978

Thank you for the advice man No, really man, thank you

And I guess he stopped me midset because I was basically doing 5 setts of 1rep each taking minor rests between those sets, so maybe he thought I was over

>>89988

>basically doing 5 sets of 1 rep each

This is how I do my deadlifts, too. Set it down, take a couple of breaths, reset my grip, reset my hips, go. Is this normal, or should I be able to fluidly touch the floor and right back up?

>>90003

Its normal. That's why its called a DEADlift. You lift it from a dead stop. Touch and goes have their place, but they are a special type of deadlift, not the norm.

>>89967

>>89973

I have never heard it called calculus in my life. Is this a normal word for it in the states and germany?

>>89975

I don't think age really matters, you're growing yes, and dead/squats do put pressure on the back, but it's not enough to change anything, unless your form is whack, in fact i think your age gives you a lot of opportunity, do your best now and you'll have a good base for the rest of your life.

Also, i don't see why they speak about strengthening the back first, since deadlifts are ideal just for that, it's like strengthening your chest before trying to bench.

>>89982

as muscles, yes

>>88999

Eternal Trips of ==BAREFEET MASTERRACE==

Keep being an apostle, bruh, those who don't lift barefoot are just pussy manlets afraid of our mad gainz It's a me, Egypt

Gooby thinks we all should incorporate flys in our workout especially if we do SS or SL to add some squeezing exercise

Should I follow his advice of supersetting them with Benchpress and do them in 5x5 or should I just do them in 3x8 as an accessory after I finish the basic 3 lifts of the day Squat, BP and Rows

Is it bad to do "only" front squats?

>>90073

As far as I know they are more quad dominant, so you should add some othershit that trains your posterior chain

For posterior chain (mainly Hamstrings and glutes) I would suggest Romanian or Stiff leg deadlifts, regular deadlift work the hammies too but we do them for so little reps like 5

Might consider actually changing to lowbar squats every other week because they are more posterior chain dominant

Leg curls are okay as well but I just hate machines

Anyway, use google and try finding hamstrings/posterior chain dominant lifts and exercises if you are so determined on doing only front squats

Or grow a pair of balls and start doing regular highbar squats, you faggot

Also do them with barefeet whatsoever

Barefeet Masterrace

>>90073

As your only squat? No.

As the only component of your program? Yes.

>>90032

in germany it's called zahnstein, which translates to teeth stone

Little question

If I do curls with 10Kg dumbbells it's okay, if I do them with 12.5kg dumbbells or 15kg dumbbells they become too heavy to curl without cheating for more than a couple of reps

Now what?

>>90127

What exact curl are you doing? I found that after switching to full range of motion I just couldn't get the burning sensation that I did with smaller 90 degree curls. I usually end off my 180 degree preacher curls with some smaller ones just so that it feels like I'm pushing myself as far as I can go.

>>90073

It's bad, but a little, do more deadlifts to compensate and you're covered.

>>90127

Full Range of Motion means Full Range of Motion, if you can't curl more weight correctly, than go back to the lower weight or cheat a little until you can do it properly.

>>90129

>>90131

I do full range of motion, it gives me a good pump

I am talking about the regular dumbbell bicep curls, no fancy curling and I don't want to cheat, really

>>90134

Yeah, there's a point for me where I can't do any more full range curls and so I finish off with some 90 degree curls.

>>90055

>acts like america doesnt have more missing teeth on average than brits

Shouldnt expect anything else from a country that elected obongo.

is this stuff supposed to be fun? should i feel exhilarated or something when i leave the gym? i always work do enough such that on my last two sets i can barely make the final rep but i just feel tired and pain afterwards and the following day

as far as 'lifting for health' goes, ive never felt so unwell in my life

>>90198

>is this stuff supposed to be fun?

Yes

>should i feel exhilarated or something when i leave the gym?

Yes

>as far as 'lifting for health' goes, ive never felt so unwell in my life

You're doing it right then.

>>90198

>>90200

>>as far as 'lifting for health' goes, ive never felt so unwell in my life

>Then you're an idiot and are doing something terribly wrong. Or you're a sissy and should man the fuck up.

Or he's just on his first week and getting the sum of all doms and feeling like a piece of wood with everything hurting like a bitch?

If that's the case, you faggot, don't worry, it will be better and you won't be so fuckin sore

My gym floor is padded with those pussypads in pink and blue, the ones designed to cushion the impact when you drop weights

What could I do to get better deadlifts instead of twitching my feet like a pussy when deadlifting heavy

>>90262

If you ask a stupid question like that, you must be new. In this case, train your whole body. You can put a focus on delts and traps by doing lots of OHP and shrugs, but don't do them exclusively or you will end up looking like a dysfunctional retard.

>>90263

Its not a stupid question you fucking cuck-varian, say that shit again and I'll personally come down there and hefuck your weize ass with a beer bottle. The reason I'm asking is because I've been doing OHP but my lats aren't growing very quickly. It makes my entire arm look awkward and mangled. I even do lateral raises and standing rows, no luck.

Jelqing? Are there any real studies done that show that it permanently works?

Internet opinion varies from:

>don't do it! your dick will be destroyed.

>bruh it works I grew 5 inches in a week!

I apologize if this question has already been beaten to death, but I'm a semi-newfag (to /fit/, anyways) and I need answers fast:

What is the absolute fastest way to lose weight? Juicing and intense cardio?

>>90266

bump for this purely out of curiousity

>>90266

>>90289

No. The very idea of jelqing makes no sense. Best case, you get it a bit harder than usual, worst case you hurt your pingas.

>>90288

Calories out>calories in

Simple as that.

>>90304

Myfitnesspal

Tracking calories will never be 100% accurate but you can get close

>>90304

Read the sticky. Do a bodyweight routine. A proper one, too. Doing push-ups like a retard will get you nowhere. Add in some advanced movements, eventually. Stuff like planches or one-handed pullups. Do that, and you might get legitimately strong although probably never as strong as an advanced weightlifter.

>>90306

Unless your penis is below 5'', you have no reason to worry about this. Girls don't even know what a large dick is, unless they have a specific fetish, and in that case, you should stay the hell away from them because they have probably fucked a noggernogger this week.

>>90306

>>90323

As Deutschbro says, not a reason to worry unless you're under like 4 inches. (4-5 is below average but manageable) The only real permanent solution is to get surgery that moves your dick forward.

Penis pumps work by essentially pulling extra blood into your dong, and you need a ring to keep the blood in. It can also cause damage, though, so be wary.

>>90356

That's why I said "perfect," as 5'11" is only average height for Americans. Besides, I just want to go somewhere between otter mode and athletic.

>>90356

Tom Hardy is only 5'9".

That's be extremely short!

>>90398
