I'm trying to push up my DB BP. My friend said a set of light Cuban rows is a good rotator cuff warmup and is actively expeditious to increasing BP. Have I been memed?
>>35140148
not good for benching, but great for building shoulder mass, and a good accessory to overhead press.
i do cuban press as a substitute for side laterals like 50% of my workouts.
i don't do the final press movement, though.. just the first three positions in that image.
>>35140148
I've heard this a few times before so at the very least it's not just him
>>35140170
So if I hypothetically were doing a brosplit, no Cuban press on chest day? I feel as though they slightly tire my shoulders out
So a friend got an A-HD and a T-UP for free and he wants to give me one. Don't know which one to choose.
BPI A-HD:
>Lasts 30 days.
>Ingredients: a) Zinc (15 mg); b) Propietary blend (500 mg - Montanoa tormentosa + Chenopodium album + Caesalpinia benthamiana + Curcuma longa + Trichopus zeylanicus).
>Supplement Reviews Score: 7.5
NUTREX T-UP
>Lasts 30 days
>Ingredients: a) Vitamin B6 (2 mg); b) Folic Acid...

The fuck
Doesn't matter because neither works
>>35140169
Actually, aspartatic acid has been proved to increase test, same as zinc. Formula wise I'd go for T-UP, but the A-HD has a good score notheless.
Wanted to see if anyone has tried any of them. Please don't say "neither works" if you haven't tried them.
Anybody here follow youtube fitness channels? Would love to hear what anyone thinks about Vince G calling out Elgin.
>>35140036
i didn't hear about this, but elgin's videos shitting on vince G were pretty funny.
kinobody is da bess youtuber... he will try to sell you his program, but having pirated his program, i can safely say all of the info is in his youtube vids, if you dig around enough. no need to pay the jew money.
Vince G seems to have a thing with starting beefs with people who are shorter and stronger than him. Watch Vince G's newest video. You'll see what I mean.
I wonder how people like you find out about the fitness board of 4chan.
Go back to facebook.
If there's mod reading this: Why are these threads deleted ?
>>35139945
If I had to guess it would be because they're seen as too /soc/-like, even though these have been on /fit/ for a while
>>35139955
I remember when I started coming in here, they were for a long time. And just like that, mods began to delete them.
+ I don't see how they're different from body goals thread and the others with a lot more shit to put in.
>>35139945
Your goal is to be the Prince of Persia and fuck Farah?
What is the exercise you do the most during the week? If you do them all the same, pick your favourite.
Mine is the Bench Press. I actually don't like it that much, but I can't progress on that shit, so I started adding more bench days. Funnily enough, I still haven't stalled on the OHP, after 7 months.
>>35139697
Who's this semen demon?
I mostly do DLs and variations as I don't like squatting.
>>35140058
Some avatarfagging trap who used to post in /feels threads. Haven't seen him around in a while. He posted pics on imgur, deleted them, then sent thm anyway to everyone who put an email in the threads he infested.
>>35140575
She still posts a lot pretty much everyday. But I guess she mostly stays on threads about lifting nowadays.
What brand does /fit/ like best?
the flavorless kind
All creatine is the fuckin same!
Is there a purpose in lifting for strength (getting your max up) when you don't want to compete at all?
>>35139625
Yes. It's fun. You on the spectrum op?
>>35139625
Yes. Setting goals for yourself and achieving said goals. Builds discipline, makes you not a god damn softy, etc.
>>35139625
No one ever got big benching 135. Fluff and pump stuff isn't worthless, but you're not gonna make progress if you never get stronger.
Is being able to bench 2 pl8 impressive?
>>35139606
who the fuck prepares one hot dog
>>35139613
>fatty detected
shoo shoo fatty gains goblin
Doing 1/2/3/4 for reps is strong; so yes. Is it near the end of where you can take your body?
No, its near the beginning. However, the vast majority of people can't bench 1 plate, so you're much stronger than most people.
Looking pretty swole for a 22 year old!

Hey /fit/
Essentially my life is fucking falling to pieces and I need to do something to turn my life around.
I've never been more motivated to start losing weight and going to the gym but I have no idea where to start or what to do when I get there
Can we get an advice thread going so I know what to expect, what equipment to start on, who to ask for help etc.
Pic related, kinda.
Get yourself a cup of coffee and read the sticky.
Are you fucking trolling me
>>>/sticky/
What do you listen to when working out?
>>35139342
Hard rock, rap, hip-hop, metal
I don't understand how people get pumped listening to EDM.
>>35139342
Shogun 2 soundtrack
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoHo23qW_aA
Only for cardio though.
Listening music when lifting breaks my concentration and fucks the form.
>>35139342
neurofunk or hardstyle

ITT: Differences/benefits with using a power rack/freeweights instead of smith machine/machines
You wont build any more muscle with freeweights. Use the safest option. Mahchines are not necessarily safer but some are.
>>35139293
Not sure if srs
>>35139303
Srs, a smith bench press will build as much muscle as a freeweight bench. Why would you believe otherwise?
> Thermal receipt paper, the kind that turns dark when scratched, is often coated with PURE BPA POWDER

BPA mimics estrogen in your body and is terrible for gains
>>35139227
But um... You won't eat the receipt nigga.

If he doesn't wash his hands tho.

it absorbs through your skin
> BPA can be absorbed into the body directly through the skin (Zalko et al., 2011). Cashiers who handled BPA-containing receipts had higher levels of urinary BPA than individuals who did not handle BPA-containing paper (Braun et al., 2011).
