Any tips?
Do what you can, I lifted 4 days after ankle surgery. Mostly machines, but if I had assistance I could do bench press. I went light on legs and usually added extra padding, did things like leg extensions, leg presses, and the vagina machine as well as glute raises. I did these things not really to build a lot of muscle, just to prevent my legs from atrophying.

you can still do some upper body lifts while you have a broken ankle, my dude. Just make sure you have it properly supported (not bearing any load) and do some bench (or floor) press, seated overhead press, curls, tricep stuff, lat pulldown, whatever you like provided it doesn't put strain on your leg. you can cut bf% while you do that, just stay in the 8-12 rep range and start off easy for awhile.
you can catch up on lower body stuff once your ankle is good and healed (you're gonna want to...

By leg presses I meant leg curls. I didn't do leg presses for a month or two after.

Still new to /fit/ and working out in general. What does 0pl8 or 2pl8 or whatever mean? I figure 2 plates, but what does the 8 mean?

incredible post

I Googled it and couldn't even find anything and I have yet to see it explained.
Is it true cardiokills gains?
I've been trying to bulk to 160 but I love my morning/nighttime runs
It's been 2 weeks and I've only gained 2 pounds
How do those of my /fit/ bros who work 5 days a week still find time to go to the gym? I get home at like 630, have to make myself dinner, go to the gym, and then i basically have to go to bed right after. Is this my life now?
>>37222304
>Is this my life now?
do you want to get fit and reach your goals? yes this is your life now. make a goal and go all in. if you plan on half assing this so you can get drunk, skip the gym, and fuck with your diet - you are not going to make it
>>37222338
i am very inspired ! thanks you!
Make enough money and buy a home gym. i lift 6 days a week on a PPL routine because i have a home gym. if i had to drive a gym i wouldnt make it
Who else wants to /dieinbattle/ here?
does it really matter how it happens

FORTH EOLINGAS!

It's always been a nice thought for sure. Once you realize that War has been highly romanticized and that you'll more than likely be gutted like a fish, and left to die/rot uneventfully it sorta loses its appeal.

Most people on this board are majoring in exercise/sport science because "lifting is my passion bro, I just love how the body works and shit" after they had to give up on their dreams of pre-med because general chemistry was too hard.

The egg industry has already been prohibited from advertising their product as healthy and safe. It's only a matter of time that meat (especially processed meat) and dairy get their due.
Make whole food plant gains.

Dude. Plants are living, sentient beings. A cabbage feels as much fear and pain as a piglet. No matter what course of action you choose, as a human being you can only contribute to the death and overall suffering of all living things on Earth.

>A cabbage feels as much fear and pain as a piglet
Nope
piglet have a brain ? YES
cabbage have a brain ? NO
you are retarded ? YES
anyway meat eaters kill more plants than vegans, so if you really care for the plants stop eating corpses.

Tell me your experiences with myprotein impact whey. there's a sale going on and i'm thinking of getting 2x5lbs, but i'm skeptical
should i or should i not, /fit/
in other words, is the low price worth it? does it taste like shit? is the content of it okay compared to brands like ON?
>>37216085
I have heard good things about the brand. I took advantage of the deal you're talking about (2x5.5lb for $60). I ended up getting some protein bars so I'd be over $70 and qualify for free shipping.
Just look up reviews of the flavors you're interested in. It looks like they give free tracking too, so you can keep up to date when it will arrive. Mine is coming in 3-4 days after shipping off (yesterday).
Even if it ends up tasting bland, it's very cheap. Take a shot in the dark, OP.
I've been taking whey isolate from them for the past months and their flavors are by far the best ive ever had. Their strawberry and salted caramel are the shit. I'm now using chocolate peanut butter which i don't recommend, it's doable but their other flavors are much better.
They came out good in lab tests as well.

No one on /fit/ told me about hot yoga and how nice it is. How loose I feel after stretching and how relaxed I feel afterwards, especially after a long day of work and working out.
Why would you guard this secret, /fit/? I haven't unclenched my anus in 20 years until tonight.
because it's glorified stretching and stretching is boring and we only stretch before we start lifting because we have to and there's very little point in discussing it since we all have our own stretching habits and needs

Don't be a dick

i have so many questions for this lift because its been giving me the most trouble
do i approach the lift at eye level?
how the fuck do i keep my back shoulder blades pinched the whole work out?
do i tense my core for the whole set?
where should my feet be?
should i actively be spreading my chest during the decline portion?
where should my grip be relative to my shoulders?
do i touch chest?
do i lock out my arms at the top?
fuck this lift is so complicated /fit/ help a shitter out

Try just feeling the lift and don't over think it
