Old one is become die.
What's wrong with using exclusively machines in my workouts?
Pros: Convenient, form is never an issue, no spotter needed. My goal is just aesthetics and I won't be competing or anything. So long as diet is in order and progressive overload is in place is there anything wrong with having a mechanic routine?

Form is often an issue with machines. The inability to adjust the motion to fit your proportions/injuries/goals/etc can screw things up pretty badly.
>>36957217
Stabilizers.
Just work with free weights.
There's nothing more lame than a guy who looks big but can't lift for shit.
Is homemade fried rice bad for cutting? Ingredients are pretty much just rice (though I went a little light on the amount in it), chicken, a heap of random veges, s&p, egg and a tiny bit of worchestor & soy sauce.

Daily reminder that if you can hit 1/2/3/4, you are stronger than like 95% of all humans who have ever lived
Not telling you to rest on your laurels or stop improving; just don't be so hard on yourselves famalam

I've done 2/3/4/5 at 200 and I'm not even strong senpai.
Obese Anons need a safe space to discuss our problems. Quit telling us to kill ourselves and drink bleach. It solves nothing. Go to /v/fatpeoplehate if you want to participate in that kind of bigotry. I know you're lurking here because I do it too. Thread is our safe space.
I'm 5'6", 248 lbs, 24 yo. I've been dieting since 2012. Since I started dieting, I haven't gained any weight, but I haven't lost any either. I have bounced up and down, with my lowest being 194 lbs and my highest being 260 lbs.
I never anticipated that it...

Or just count calories, breh?
>>36968079
I've been doing that for 4 years and it's gotten me nowhere.
>>36968044
You're medicating yourself with food, brah.
I know how the yo-yo goes.
I started at 430 and got down to 280. It was a hard-fought battle, every 20 pounds I lost I gained 10 back. I never addressed my emotional eating habits, I never redefined my relationship with food as fuel first pleasure second.
When I broke my shoulder, my bad habits dragged my fat ass back up to 375.
Something clicked, and since then I've consistently dropped weight without regressing - a few cheat days...

Can someone redpill me on PPL?
I've seen a lot of hype about PPL over strength routines lately and wondering if I should switch.
I'm at 1/2/3/4 right now and care about size more than strength at the moment. Unfortunately I visited snap city and might have to cut legs for a little while so I need an upper body routine 4 times a week which is why I was thinking of switching temporarily as well.
I'm currently doing 5/3/1 BBB with added assistance exercises for bis, tris, pullups, etc.
>>36966527
I can bluepill you on it instead :^)

th-thanks...
I get lower back pain while doing ohp, what am I doing wrong?
>>36966524
Maybe hyperextending
>>36966571
>maybe
Idk maybe you're not arching your back enough. Fully arch your lower back so it can absorb more weight.
>go to treadmills to do some warmup cardio
>see this
what do?
>>36966102
Wait for one of them to die.
>>36966111
>waiting
>not manning up and doing it yourself
seen this so many times but I just realised now that fat bitch cant even climb onto the fucking treadmill without help
but she sure made sure her hair and makeup was done before her day at the gym.
How the FUCK do I get good at running?
I keep getting shin splints and I can only run 1 miles before getting tired
This is so much harder than lifting
>>36964936
Learning to run isn't a sprint, it's a marathon so just start of slow
Are you a fat ass? If not then I don't know what to tell you. Just stop being a pussy.
>>36964936
couch to 5k
Does anyone else cringe at the majority of gym culture?
>beast mode
>stronger people are harder to kill
>dominate humbly
>pain is temporary
>#hashtagging motivational quotes
>swoldier
+ a myriad of other cringeworthy shit
Do people actually think they are hardcore because they have the luxury of being able to workout in a comfortable air conditioned gym?
Congratulations, you exercised for an hour
How is that "beast mode," how are can you compare yourself to a soldier going to battle in your middle class suburban gym?
So many faggots cringing on youtube and instagram
Why do people with like 10k instagram followers or 20k youtube subscribers think they're entitled to be some sort of life coach because they can curl three times a week?
I would agree with you for the most part.
I know this sounds fedora-tier but the will to improve yourself should come from within, not from sources of external validation.
Also, anyone who wears some kind of slogan shirt that effectively boils down to "yes I work out haha" is fucking cringe tier
It only bothers me when people take it too seriously. If you have no other interests/skills then of course you're gonna think that picking shit up is the pinnacle of human achievement.

Someone has to set the bar low
I was injured for months and couldnt do any exercises using my legs or run.
Every day was upper body day.
Now that I've recovered, I've had a horrible (but totally expected) discovery.
> tfw I've become the "dont skip leg day" meme
I look similar to pic related's proportions.
How can I change my routine to regain balance again?
what do you guys suggest???
>>36956935
Now that I'm looking at the picture, my upper body is actually MORE disproportionate than his.
I have larger pecs/ shoulders/ arms.
My legs are still muscular and I have nice quads, but my calfs and quads are still really small comparatively
post pic
do lower body exercices
>>36956935
Start squatting you faggot. Twice a week to get those big legs.
I'm a druggie, so I was thinking of making a /nootropic/ general, unlike reddit's. Instead of only stimulants, we could include cholinergics (memory enhancers), psychodelics, antidepressants, stress relievers, all sorts of shit. Kinda like /fraud/, but with mind drugs.
>pic unrelated
could you elucidate nicotine to me?
Have been Microdosing acid the past few weeks
Definitely seem able to think more clearly, coming up with revelations, make better decisions, have been drawing for the first time in years and creativity is flowing. I want to say it's having an effect on social skills, but I've also done mdma twice in the same time period so not sure what to attribute it to, probably a bit of both as I've always felt lsd makes me more empathetic and better at reading people or vibing w them, and therefore communicating w them better

do it.
Do you guys work both on the same day? I find that when I do one, I can't get as much out of the other.
>>36964732
>Do you guys work both on the same day?
I do close grip chins and dips in the same day
>>36964732
curlmaster here.
you can do both on the same day and both will perform at 100% if you only do isolations.if you do compound exercises they'll probably be fatigued before you isolate them and you wont be able to go for a PR.
My tris are over developed compared to my bis and i dont even isolate them. Bench and ohp work them enough
