what do you guys think about these endless rope machines?
lmao you're joking right?
>>34935956
no eccentric phase of the movement
>>34935956
Was gonna /xfit/ this, but it's not a bad idea actually. Just a hard machine to maintain I think, you know with all those filthy shitskins and their greasy hands polluting the rope.
pitiful compared to a jacobs ladder
>>34935993
>doing so good pulling this rope
>get to the 'gross part' of the rope
>leave
fucking pajeets ruin everything
>>34936026
If you touch that rope after pajeet you're gonna have poop hands.
>>34935993
>inb4 it's full of chalk
So I'm trying to lose some weight and according to the sticky I should be eating 1690 kal for losing weight.
>MFP says I should eat just 1200 for weight lose.
>what
Who do I believe? If I eat 1200 kal a day will I go into starvation mode? I dont want to fuck up.
Im 5'3 and I weight 169lb btw.
>>34936265
If you want to save your sanity and actually follow through, stick with 1690 as long as it's truely below your TDEE.
>>34936265
Eat enough to support your basal metabolism and weight lifting activities. Get your deficit from cardio which should be 400/500 kcal every day.
>>34935956
This is a top tier exercise. Great for grip. However I have a homegym and I climb it on upper body day. My neighbors think im nuts though but wtf.
Hey guys my bench has been slacking and I was wondering if you could recommend any good chest building or strengthing exercises. Currently stuck at 205lbs. Idk why legs are easier to build.
>>34936344
>Idk why legs are easier to build.
that's howhumans are made
not enough info to give advise
>>34936324
Yes, Im going to gym 4 times a week for 2 and a half hours a day. MFP says Im losing around 500 kal just from cardio since it doesnt say how much I lose from the strength activities.
I've been with the 1200 kal for 2 weeks now and already lost 8 pounds but Im worried about my muscles because I dont want them to disappear
>>34936392
I Want to build a big strong chest.
>>34936344
touch and go bench press or pause bench?
How weird is it that the bottom of my ribs sticks out a (little) further than my pecs?
>>34936344
Push ups
>>34935977
That means it's good for WESTSIDE style conditioning
>>34936409
then continue benching
add dips maybe
>>34936416
Touch and go. I've really wanna hit 2pl8s.
>>34936288
thank you, I think Ill just eat more chicken and hope for the best
>>34936344
Isometric or negative reps
God I just literally don't seem to get stronger.
If someone can bench 1pl8 x5 how long would you expect it to take to reach 2pl8 assuming you did everything right (age ~20).
>>34936503
Like 4 months if you are like 170lbs and eat big.
>>34936503
3 months maybe if good genetics
>>34935956
endless nogainz
>>34935956
Climbing a real rope would be better
still literally have no idea how deep my squats should be, i also want a bubble butt.
>>34936447
what type of dips? also is it good to flare out your arms while doing them? i heard that on here
Started bulking but went overboard as fuck and got really fat and now I'm going to start cutting. Will I still be able to make strength gains? Been lifting for about 5 months
Does anyone here in NA buy creatine in store? Or does everyone buy it online? The only place I've seen that sells it is GNC.
Oddly even Best Buy sells it online.
Posted this elsewhere but I'll try here too.

>How the fuck do I get my bench up /fit/? I started lifting 6 weeks ago and I was making progress on my other lifts but bench is fucking shit.
>Here is my progress:
>Squats: the bar --> 115lb (yes, fucking pounds. I'm a weak skelly that never left his basement)
>Deadlift: 60lb --> 170lb
>Bench: bar --> 85lb
>On the bright side I went from not being able to do a single pushup to being able to do multiple sets of 25...
when i deadlift, what should i feel? all i really feel is my lowerback under stress. does this mean im doing it right or am i off to snap city?
>>34937356
Personally I feel it in the hamstrings and lower glutes the most. Is it possible your lower back is just the weakest point in the exercise? You can strengthen it by doing back hyperextensions.
>>34937330

Guys, how do I fix my erection? Lately my erections have not been as rock solid, and I dont really stand at full mast, I kind of stick forwards. I've stopped doing cardio in the summer, and been just lifting weights, plus I jerk off every other day. Could that be part of the problem?
>>34936048
>POO IN LOOP
>>34937483
I found mine did the same when I stopped cardio after summer. Drinking more water helped, but I'm running again and it's bringing them back.
>>34935956
I started doing squats by really pushing my knees outwards to prevent knee caving in on the up from the bottom of the squats.
Right now, the inside side of my knees have a dull pain. Its not soreness.
Has anyone had this pain before?
>>34937651
You think I should take it easy on the jacking? Is no Fap Month a bait? I might actually kill myself if I dont jerking it once in awhile.
>>34937476
you could say that about every machine
>>34937691
>no fap
>>34937691
Jacking builds forearms, breh.
I haven't done NoFap so idk (it's 100% memes tbqh), but better cardio endurance is strongly linked with stronger erections in non-ED individuals.
>>34937775
Shit, guess I might have to jump on the threadmill and jack up that incline. Its too damn cold to run now.
>>34935956
Why would I not just
>1. Buy rope
>2. Tie Rope to object of greater height than me
>3. Climb it until exhausted
And buying the rope is seriously optional. Look around and I'm pretty sure you can literally just find free rope.
But no I think I'd rather spend the $899 on the black guy hand job trainer
>>34937788
Something you can do is to supplement your bioavailable Nitrous Oxide. Tabs don't work, but cardio and/or strong pre-workout with high NO can do the trick.
I used to use old NO-Xplode (1st gen before they changed recipes) and got hard for dayz with no cardio.
Is this ok form for highbar squat? I know mu back isn't near as vertical as it should be but if my knees go any further forward my heels come off the ground because my ankle mobility is so terrible. This form won't shouldn't damage my knees right. As long as they track in line with the feet. I realize the bar is forward a little as well but my pressure stays over midfoot. I may be able to sit more upright as the working weight gets closer to my bodyweight.
Why am I starving after workouts how should I go about solving it do I eat or ignore the cravings?
>>34938185
When are your set meals/when do you lift?
>>34938206
I don't lift I workout around 3 and then 6 I'm fairly new to working out in general and eat at 6am,12pm and 5 pm
>>34937859
"The harder you tug, the better the burrrnnn"
>>34938142
looks pretty good in that frame. dont stress about verticality of your back, different proportions mean different back angles, whats important is that your spine is neutral (which it appears to be) and the midfoot weight distribution as you mentioned.
if you want to be more upright for the sake of comfort you can compensate for your lack of ankle range by putting a light plate increment under your heel or buy an olympic shoe
>>34938248
What is it you do then? Cardio/yoga/professional dick-sucking? Answering that first will help to answer whether you should hold-on or eat up.
>>34938275
Cardio (a little dick sucking here and there)
>>34938267
Yeah I've been using small plates but I've been squatting in tennis shoes so I went barefoot today and didn't want to stand on the plates then. I've got pretty bad patellar tendonitis in both knees and I play sports in the summer so I want to atleast make sure my current form doesn't damage them further. My knees don't hurt during the squats but after the sets they do if I bend my heels up to my ass.
>>34938306
>Cardio
It's not a great idea to eat too close to cardio if you want to lose weight (as your body experiences a transient fasted state during your recovery window and is more likely to store dietary carbohydrates than to use them if complex meals are eaten immediately following exercise). I'd say you should have a tall glass of water (>500ml) and some nuts/small piece of fruit if you can't hold off. Try to give yourself an hour at least between cardio and any meals.
If you're only doing cardio for bantz you're not negatively affecting your health if you eat too much too early. It's only really affecting your ability to draw energy from stores by preventing catabolism of fats at the time.

should i do the valsalva technique on all my barbell lifts? when doing bench and ohp should i breath into belly or chest?
>>34937435
I've wondered this myself. Anyone??
I think i fucked up my rotator cuff
Doesn't seem too bad at the moment and i have had it happen before, i just didn't know what it was, was always on the same arm too
Because it has always happened on the same arm could this mean that arm is fucked?
And is it recommended to do any exercise while its healing? I don't want to stop lifting, but if i have to is there any other things to do while it heals ( Ex. Bodyweight), and about how long should i wait to start lifting again? I have already skipped the gym yesterday
>>34938453
Would a protein shake count as food?
I drink mine after my cardio session after im done lifting.

My gym has the traditional decline sit up bench where you can adjust the height to make the bench itself more or less steep to suit your abilities. I've been there, I've done that. However, this one has what appears to be a T handle on top of where your feet go and the diameter of the T is such that it looks like its for your hands.
Is it for you to grab to be able to do leg raises/reverse crunches?

I will scan you the exercise sheets I got for my physiotherapy for my rotator cuff. But you'll have to wait untilk tomorrow. Check back within 24 hours for sure - I'll repost it in the new thread if need be.
I'll label it "rotator cuff" so you can find it easier
Serious question, my right knee pops and clicks all the time when I tighten my quad. It even hurts sometimes while walking up stairs. How do i fix this and is it just due to over tightness of the quad and ligaments?

I've been cutting at 1200 calories for 3 weeks, until today where I fucked up and consumed 2,100

>not having a moving climbing wall
>>34936265
starvation mode is a meme.
eat 1200.
i crash dieted on 850 kcal and i was 5'9 225 (currently 180)
gained muscle the whole time. (noob gains because i was a DYEL fatfuck)
starvation mode is a lie.
don't trust the momscience.
its probably real if you are actually starving.... but that won't happen with high bodyfat, or if you have eaten this week.
i don't think hungry = starving
>>34939646
Yeah that's it, cheers.
>try Dumbbells flat bench again after quite a time

>When should you consider switching from cutting to bulking?
I'm 6'1", and started at 230lbs back in May. Now, I'm down to 192lbs, but I'm having real difficulty pushing my weight lower. By calorie count, I should still be losing a pound a week, but it's not manifesting. I can only imagine it's due to my under/over estimating my calories consumed/burned. But as it is, I'm not sure I can make bigger changes to my diet than I already have, and I'm getting zero strength gains since I've just been losing weight the whole time. I'm contemplating switching to bulking for strength gains (Which would hopefully make cutting more fat easier later), but I'm not sure if that's just me making excuses or not.

You've heard the stereotype of the bodybuilder who cannot comb his hair right?
....cause I'm feeling like that. Any time I've got my arms up with hands behind my head I start to feel tight and tired super quick. Been doing SL for two months and wondering if there are some stretches I should be doing?
>>34936499
>Isometric or negative reps
you mean eccentric
isometric exercises are ones you do without movement.
>>34938142
yea you're good, just do ankle dorsiflexion exercises.
the best imo, is to have your knees stretched over your ankles (in a squat position) with a barbell over your knees.
i am sure there is a name for it, but its like the number 1 ankle mobility stretch, so i am sure you've heard ofit.
>>34938864
It is impossible to tell. Every leg press machine is different. Usually people can leg press much more than they can squat.

Make sure you're engaging your pecs properly. The pec activates more when you are bringing you arm towards your sternum. Its why people do flys and shit. Its just the way the muscle contracts.
Fortunately, you can learn to trick it. Most people don't get this intuitively.
>lie back on the bench between your next warm-up set
>Set left hand on your right pec.
>Pump right arm through the bench motion and feel how the muscle contracts
>now bend right elbow ninety degrees and feel how your pec contracts
>reverse it for other side
>now when you are benching, try and engage the pec that way.

I just bought chicken breasts from the butcher, when I got home I realized I had a problem with my freezer, so until the problem was fixed, it sat at room temperature between one hour and one hour and a half (driving back home then fixing the problem). I also had to take out what was already in the freezer: packs of ground beefs and frozen veggies. They stayed out for 30-45 minutes. I don't think they thawed much, but I always heard that once something is frozen you shouldn't take risks with re-freezing. It's winter so room temperature is rather cold. Should I be worried about potential health/bacterial issues?

with the chicken yes, the other stuff no.
When you finally put the chicken in was it still cold?

Plus, you could always lose that fat and then gain a bit of weight back in muscle in good areas to bring you back to the normal range.
>>34936344
Do some dumbbell press for a little bit, can go heavy on dumbbells without decapitating yourself.
>>34937293
If you went overboard then you can cut some calories without going under your TDEE, so you will still be able to get strength gains.
No need for a cut, especially only after 5 months.
>>34941061
>Plus, you could always lose that fat and then gain a bit of weight back in muscle in good areas to bring you back to the normal range.

How do you accurately measure the calories in rice? When you google the calories in say 100g of brown rice you get 111. Is that for cooked rice or raw? If it's raw that's easy, but if not, how do you know how much your rice will weigh once cooked?
>>34939766
Bodybuilding.com has a good write-up on rotator cuff exercises, Google it.
>>34941279
>tar an empty bowl on my digital scale

Rice absorbs water when you cook it, making it heavier.

I keep stalling at 65 kg (143 lbs) bench in SS.
I have tried doing 5x5 sets with less weight, but it's not helping. I get enough calories and protein and sleep. I have tried deloading.
What do I do wrong? Can it be my technique?
Even if I manage to do 65 kg, I can't do 67.5 kg next time.
>>34941279
u cant know how much it will weight after cooking, but the calories stay the same. for eg. if im doing a meal prep for 7 days and cooking rice, lets say i weight 700g of rice and then cook it and just gonna weight all the cooked rice and divide it by 7 (days), maybe theres a simplier way but thats how i do it
>>34941329
yeah? so is a treadmill.
every piece of exercise equipment beyond a barbell, plates, and a rack/cage/stand and perhaps a bench is meme as fuck.

>endless rape machine
>>34941336
It may be your technique, but hard to say without the video, but at this weight even with bad technique you should be able to progress.
I'm not a huge fan of deloading imo, if I was you I would try bench more and add dumbbell bench to your routine as well.
>>34937293
How did you get really fat in 5 months? Something is wrong here. You must have started out fat. Need more info. But yeah, cut down and once your abs are visible, about 15% bf, cut a little more and then clean bulk with chicken and shit.

I'm desperate for a way to stop my appetite from being so high. I'm tired of hearing "le willpower, faggot". I need a real science based answer because it's a fact that some people just have higher appetites by default.

You don't "need" a real science based answer, you "want" a real science based answer because you can't cope with having to push yourself to eat less.

Cravings last 1 to 3 minutes. Distract yourself. The willpower you must provide is for a whimsical moment of distracting yourself with something. And then it goes away.
The problem is, you're focusing on it too much.
I quit smoking and nicotine is more addictive than cocaine. Food is not even on the chart. That means it's all mental. So distract yourself by doing something. Phone a particular friend, get on here and troll, masturbate, do some pushups, drink some water, or think of new ways to rearrange the furniture in your livingroom cause I know you're an interior decorating fag.

I don't like using anecdotal evidence for things. It's too subjective to take seriously. It's fat logic at its finest: "I'm incapable of losing weight because I've tried everything believe me no matter what you tell me it wont work for me!"
But here's an article that will shed some light on the subject for you: http://neuroanthropology.net/2009/05/27/tobacco-worse-than-cocaine/
I think it sums it up when it says people think of smoking as a social pastime and cocaine as an unhealthy addiction. Yes, cigarettes kill you. The addiction part is up there with all the hard to kick major narcotics.

I think it also says something about the type of character that chooses to use cocaine as oppose to the one that chooses to smoke, especially in a time where smoking wasn't as socially frowned upon. One seems more susceptible with less will power and the other is just a normal person that got addicted to the wrong thing.

The more you eat the larger your stomach becomes, which is why fat guys can put away a whole pizza while skinny guys have trouble with a slice. If you're fat, like me, your stomach is probably pretty big so it takes more food to make you feel "full", and that want to feel full is what makes you want to grab a snack, as well as of course the taste of the snack.
What I've found works pretty good is to drink a glass of water. Water works through the body faster than food, but it makes you feel full until the cravings are gone. Over time, if you're eating smaller meals, your stomach will shrink and the cravings lessen.
Good squat focused program for oly weightlifting?
How to do cable pushdown for big arms?
Can I do DB Shrugs back to back, so today and tomorrow? Like 4x week? What do yoy recommend for best trap growth from these?
>>34941946
>Good squat focused program for oly weightlifting?
5x5 squats with good ROM, switch up front/back
>How to do cable pushdown for big arms?
I wouldn't rely solely on cable pushdowns for big arms. It's a supplemental exercise for triceps. You would do better with a compound lift like bench presses. Include some bicep lifts as well for the arm.
>Can I do DB Shrugs back to back, so today and tomorrow? Like 4x week? What do yoy recommend for best trap growth from these?
Shoulder shrugs are terrible. That said, it's like any other lift. They work on your traps and a little on your shoulders so keep that in mind with other lifts you do. I'd say twice a week is fair. 3 times a week is pushing it, and once a week is casual brosplit style.
been doing SS for two months but i added curls and tricep pushdown because my arms were sticks and i fell for the "ss will make you a t-rex" meme, now my arms have doubled in circumference but the rest of my body is lacking. I'm stopping the curls and pushdowns but adding in pullups and chinups. When should I do them?
SS is very confusing about it and some sources say i should do them every other workout and alternate ohp and bench every other workout instead of every workout, but i don't want to just do bench every four workout because i have a tiny chest.
tl;dr where should i put pullups/chinups in SS if i don't want to decrease frequency of bench and ohp?
>>34938750
Yeah you'll wheeze but it does go away. I used to smoke weed and go running, not that good of an idea. After I quit I realized how much cardio improves your endurance and air circulation
Anyone else feel leg press in glutes a lot?
>>34935956
Imagine using one to wipe your ass.
>>34942069
Do pullups on back day

Yo, /fit/, would strength training on a calorie deficit as a beginner be counterproductive?
>>34935956
What're the best breakfast cereals? Due to time constraints, I prefer to have a large enough breakfast so that I can skip lunch.
>>34942249
I'm assuming you're at a deficit because you're trying to lose fat. No, it wouldn't be too bad. You'll keep your gains as long as you take enough protein in. The body wont atrophy unless you're malnourished. So yeah, you can do both. But if your goal is to completely maximize your strength as oppose to just trying to maintain it or add a little to it, I'd suggest not being in a deficit.

Can you really have just oats? I used to eat Alpen, but that I noticed it was sugary as fuck.
Serious replies please.
I started this nofap bullshit because i thought it helps my test levels . What's happening that i'm constantly feeling fucking angry all the time , today i almost got in a fight over some stupid soccer goal. Currently i don't have a gf so sex is not an option and i was determined to succeede in nofap . I'm currently 1 week in and it's fucking hell , i want to beat the shit out of everything and normally i'm a caring person. I'm not horny or anything i'm just teeming with rage and i try not to talk to girls. I know fapping will help but also it will be a waste of my built up test. What to do ?
Poorfag here. Is it bad to get most of my daily protein intake from whey?
Also, is it necessary to have a rest day when doing a PPL program if you feel ready to lift?
>>34942452
Same thing happened to me. I went the whole month of October, but my lady and I fuck every weekend when we hang out. It was tough being an angry rage monster tho because even dropping something on the ground made me freak out. I even started saying god dammit which is like a pet peeve of mine. My advice to you is to workout a lot harder. I used it as fuel during lifts and jumped a lot of weight in bench and squats. I've read that you peak after 7 days tho so that's why I eventually started again. Best of luck

(This is a serious post) I squat three times a week and my knees are hurting should i lower how many times i squat or maybe its just my form. What do?
>>34942664
the problem probably arent your knees but tight hamstrings or ankles, try stretching
>>34942678
oh and hers a dude talking about this problem @5:50 https://youtu.be/Uz0NmfQZXFE?t=350
can somebody rate my new workout ?
no gym so bodyweight only don't ask why.
Its just to get me through untill I sort my shit out and get membership.
This routine has to be better than nothing .
before this I was running almost everyday and calisthenics only 3 days a week. cuting down the cardio now and replacing it with more bodyweight exercises ,running starting to take its tole on my joints and I don't want to be disabled by the time I'm 30.
any genuine tips I can add to my workout ?
>pls no bully.
>>34942869
I won't say it's bad, but it does look completely random.
>>34942931
it is based apon this workout that I have been doing for a month now and I have had little to no results from it . It has two routines the beginners (3days) and intermediate.
I've stoped doing the beginners workout because I was getting nowhere and adopted the intermediate (4days) .
added an extra set of either dips or pushups to each workout and lowered my running/cardio to only 2-3 days a week instead of 6-7 days a week.
so I have more energy to focus on this.
>not completly random
>>34942869
>>34942995
check out the "BODYWEIGHT EVOLUTION" ebook by Daniel Vadnal and do this routine instead.
Should I go to the gym or stay at home?
>My lower left back hurt from sleeping in the wrong position

>>34943149
stay at home , eat cake
>>34943149
looking for excuses
>not gonna make it
>>34943149
Unless your workout routine involves your lower back, just go you lazy cunt.
If it does involve your lwoer back, then just stay at home and cut down on the food intake for the day.
>>34943156
I don't even like most cakes
>>34943169
:( damn it
>>34943176
>If it does involve your lwoer back, then just stay at home and cut down on the food intake for the day.
It's legday, which involves
>heavy squats
>stiff leg deadlifts
>lunges
that's why I am thinking to skip the session, because I have experienced lower back constraints during squats which have forced me to fail the sets.
Running outside in pants
Y/N?
>>34943209
what kind of pants, pic
>>34937483
Do some cardio.
Also, take zinc, magnesium, d3, and L-arginine. Stay hydrated.
>>34943218
They've got some flex room around the waste and incredibly light
when should I track my weight,
after waking up or before going to bed?
>>34943237
i guess, if its comfy then why not.
>>34943301
doesnt matter, but keep it consistent, for eg. i wake up, take a piss, fart and then weight myself everyday the same
>>34943301
It's better to do it after you wake up and have gone to the bathroom so that your body is empty. and weigh yourself at the same time
>>34943149
Those are some nice excuses you got there. No one here cares if you go or not. It's all up to you.
>>34943324

What exactly is the difference between the two variations of BP? You have one were the seat is completely horizontal (as it is supposed to be) , and then there's the bench press where one sude of the seat is going upward, making it more chair-like.
>>34943508
its flat bench and incline bench
the incline bench work out your upper chest
flat bench work out your whole chest
see:

http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/PectoralClavicular/BBInclineBenchPress.html
>>34943508
Incline works your upper chest and front delts more then the regular bench.

MY DEADLIFT WONT GO UP
Skinnyfat fag here
i've been doing the SS meme (excepting i do HIGH bar squats) for 2 months now, i'm eating 500kcal surplus and i've gained 6 kilos so far.
I started with 35kg bench, 49kg deadlift, and 40kg squat.
Now i'm about 60kg bench, 90kg deadlift, and 70kg squat.
i add 1kg to my bench each session, and 2kg to my squat. I used to add 3kg to my deadlift, but i've been stuck at 90kg for 2 WEEKS now.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?
I couldnt have plateu with these baby weights, could I?
HELP ME /FIT/, PLEASE
>>34943720
>MY DEADLIFT WONT GO UP
Have you tried lifting?
Aha!
>>34943358
I know why I couldn't find it in the catalogue - the acronym is misspelled. Reposting the physio stuff here
>>34943324
I doubt the farts weigh much anon.

>>34943720
have you tried mixed grip?
I'm finally /fit/ enough to start getting some attention from qts but don't want to give away my kissless virgin status by making a move on them. Is there any way to effectively pretend you're actually experienced so that they won't be too disappointed or weirded out?
>>34943837
basically don't give a fuck
>>34943837
experiment with hookers first then and when ur ready find a qt gf
>>34943837
Get drunk. Find other drunk people.
Fake it till you make it.
>>34943776
Not really, ive tried Hook grip, but it felt pretty uncomfortable. I'll try mixed grip next time.
Do you think the problem is in my grip?
>>34943893
You would really know if it was grip, but you should still try
>>34943893
depends on when you fail your lift, right off the floor, middle, up?
>>34943883
>>34943890
>>34943892
>tfw can't afford hookers
Can absolutely do the drunk part though. Cheers lads, good to know it's not as important as I'm telling myself it is.
>>34943929
UP
>>34943909
I do feel like the bar is getting away from my fingers, but i still can cope with it. Since it's my lower back which's working i didnt think it was worth to pay attention to that.
Been bulking and now have pretty bad heart burn and stomach acid in general. Any protips?
Is it normal to feel slight discomfort in your back after a heavy deadlift workout with good form?
How many calories do I lose by masturbating? Assuming it takes 5 minutes.

Ok /fit/ i'm closing in on my goal fast (10-11% bodyfat then lean bulk), but i've got a question about cutting.
I'm 180cm (5'11''), currently 81 kg (178.6 lbs) 26 yo at TDEE - 500 kcal diet (most days i succed). Lost 3,8 kg last 3 months. My lifts are stalling/regressing faster then i hoped they would, is it normal? Stalled at 1,25 pl squat, 1pl bench, 0,5 pl OHP for month or so, and currently i feel like am losing it. Only deadlift is going up (lmao 2pl). I've been doing SS since july, first 6 weeks i was at -200kcal but there was no weight loss at all.
Apart from SS i currently i play table tennis at work, but that will propably end soon, and it's not high intensity so i don't consider it when calculating TDEE.
So am i doing something wrong? Should my lifts stay there for a while?
What are some good exercises for joocy forearms?
How long does this "keto-flu" normally last? I only started yesterday, but god damn I'm exhausted today.
>>34937435
I always assumed it was 1rm.
Wear a belt when it will allow you to lift more with good form. It's impossible to put a number on. Having said that, most people won't need a belt before hitting 1/2/3/4
Am I genetically doomed to look like shit forever no matter how lean I get? Or is there a possibility I might look ok when I get to 9% BF? Be honest.
Doing bent-over barbell rows causes a lot of pain in the back of my left leg and near my left hip area unless I lean to the right like a retard, how do I fix this?
>>34944480
Probably not doomed. You're skinny-fat as fuck right now.
>>34944480
>Those chest genetics
Goddamn dude you should stick with legs and back
Why shouldn't I do touch n go deadlifts?
Feel much more aggressive this way
>>34944358
well your at caloric deficit, you cant expect to increasing weights after some time, just keep lifting and trying increase it until u reach desired bf%/kg weight, then go for surplus and your lifts should go up
>>34941440
>after that you're an intermediate lifter
no. you're 'intermediate' when session to session progress is no longer possible and you need weekly programming - i.e. SS = novice, TM = intermediate
>>34941478
wtf are you on about - how would lifting weight make you weaker
>>34942069
do them on the day you're not deadlifting
Amongst many other great words girls use to describe me, they call me weird.
Anyone else get this? Anyone else know why?
