I am too weak to squat correctly. If I use something to help keep my balance (loosely holding onto a chair, etc). To keep myself from falling on my ass, and doing the best I can to squat regularly, will that help me improve my squat as a whole or no?
>>36603539
practice by stretching your arms forward, it helps a lot with balance
squatting with a barbell is different than bw squats cause the center of gravity shifts, so you might find one easier than the other, depending on depth
speaking of depth, you should also stretch your glutes and ankles (quads and hammies won't hurt), cause people often confuse their body's inability to hold a position comfortably with balance issues
>>36603583
Yeah, I am weak/immobile as fuck as a whole. I gotta work on it, but I gotta get to my dr to check out my left leg.
Whenever I lift my leg up, the upper most part of my quad hurts. It's been like this for over a month now. I don't know if it's a strain or what.
>>36603583 this.
Also, try shitting in the woods. You don't need a chair to do it, right?
Many newbs "think too much" during the setup of the squat. Act naturally, widen your stance as necessary, go deep, keep your ass, back and shoulder muscles packed tight, and stand back up using knee extension to rise and hip extension to "hump" the air in front.
Anyone else's respect for bodybuilders/lifters dramatically went down after finding out about steroids?
You're retarded for obvious reasons.

The weight is the same for both, the strongman is clearly the 'weaker' man
is it just me/my environment or is white bread a staple food of highly productive and/or smart people concerned with real world shit while people who stay away from it are human trash with too much time on their hands?
>Italians and French
>Only eat white bread
>Black bread is as good as unknown
>Still live longer and are thinner than dark bread eaters
>>36603211
Im from Scandinavia.
Dark bread eater. Source?
Besides, i think that Italians and French have general healthier eating habbits.
Or perhaps because the weather is better.
But dark bread is way healthier than white bread.
>le color of the bread determines if its healthy or not meme
How's your cut going?
I started cutting 1 week ago, first on a 350kcal deficit and since two days I'm on a ~500kcal deficit.
When switching to 500kcal i caught a cold. Also, I wake up in the middle of the night feeling really hungry. Yesterday, when lying in bed trying to sleep i dreamt of a giant pizza covered with burgers.
Am I eating too little?
going alright. i lost 20 lbs in two weeks by eating at a slight deficit (a little over on heavy lift days) and not eating two days out of the week.
>>36603195
How do you feel when not eating for a day?
I would like to try this, but I have exams in a few days and I need energy to study.
>>36603210
i chew gum and drink black tea. first one was hard but the rest were ok
What's the best pwo for use pre-sex?
>>36603136
None.
You won't be able to sleep after cumming in her pussy.
Much better to do planks (esp one armed), pushups, cardio and stretching.
Also, eat strawberries, pineapple, and celery in large amounts for a few days prior.
Take 50-100mg of zinc per day.
Source? Experience, lad.
>>36603325
>You won't be able to sleep after cumming in her pussy.
What if we both take it?
>>36603411
I tried pwo before sex once. Pounded hardcore for hours and I couldn't even get close to cumming. It sucked.
I just bailed on a date with a really hot qt who told me she's dtf so i wouldnt miss a workout.
Is there something wrong with me?
>>36603041
Yes. Please never share your pathetic existence again.
>>36603041
Wouldn't she have been your workout?
>not making qt gains
>>36603041
Absolutely. I'd suggest you kill yourself but considering how stupid you are you'd probably fuck that up to.
Is it sad that my whole day revolves around the gym?

You only have one life brah, if it makes you happy then do it as much as you like! Im the same, work bores the shit out of me and i always cant wait to smash the gym after work after sitting on my ass in front of a computer all day. Das it mane. Better than stuffing your face with food and becoming obese isnt it?
>>36602729
Meh, sort of feel like I need something else to do. I have a fair bit of free time. Especially when I don't work, I have nothing to do. I need a fit hobby or something.

After squatting or hack squats wtf is this lol it goes away in like a day
tiny broken blood vessels in your skin from the pressure of the bar / machines you were using.
its nothing.
>>36602368
That's definitely terminal.
RIP OP, can I have your phone?
>>36602368
Its bruising/scratching from where the weight has either dug into your shoulders or pushed the seam of your shirt into your shoulders.
It heals up pretty fast in 99% of cases. The only times I've seen it not are where its drawn blood from really heavy yokes or squat lockouts.
discussion:
being naturally strong is a myth.
anyone could have become lifting champion for their weight class, its just that 99.9% of the population would giveup.
of the .1% left, guaranteed 99.9% of them will not train as hard as the hardest working .1% which is why there is only 1 champion.
what are your thoughts?
>>36602292
False.
Some people, for whatever reason, just get strong stupidly easy compared to others. The average person - even busting their arse and doing everything right - isn't going to linear progression their way to a 3xBW squat or pull 500lbs the first time they try deadlifting.
>>36602292
>being naturally strong is a myth
No, it's a genetic condition.

>>36602292
being naturally strong also has to do with your muscle makeup and bone lengths/density
168 cm
112 kg
So I managed to lose 6.5 kg in the first 3 weeks of February. I then pigged out in the last five days and gained a kilogram, so I lost about 5.5 kilograms that month. March is now over, and I have lost no weight at all. I am still at around 112 kg. I was losing weight for the first week, but just couldn't put the fork down, so I gained it all back and went right back to 112.
How do I get back on the bandwagon now that a new month is here? My goal is to be down to at least 74 kg by the end of the year so I won't be technically fat anymore....

get all the shitty food out of your house if you have no self control. If you cook all your meals and can only pick between greek yougurt and oats, you won't pig out.
just dont put it in your mouth
drink water if you are feeling hungry
wtf do I do with these?
squats and lunges
swing them around and let them go. Preferably in a glass house
Nothing. Walk past them and head to the barbells.
