scooby is such a bitch
I want to try pre-workout and my cousin said to get C4. I was checking out a GNC that's close by and it was $65 CAD tax included for 60 servings.
Is that a good deal? Is there a cheaper and/or better one I should get instead?
Personally I take two scoops for every scoop
however many it takes to leave humanity behind desu
>>36864124
I preferred C4 over neurocore, which are the only two I've tried. 65 tax included is about as good a deal as you're gonna find in Canada (I usually shop at Popeyes cause there's one just up the street from me). If you're trying out pre C4 is a good place to start, watermelon is actually pretty good.

I'm doing a PPL routine but want to mix in a 10-20 minute butt routine.
Can I just add it to every other day after I do my main workout?
>Trying to lose weight
>Cut out sodas, stay under 2000cal a day
>Incorporate more and more fruits/vegetables if I can
>1 month into lifting have a shit ton of stretch marks but stomach size is the same
>3 months later today it's a bit smaller but still fat
How about I just fucking die
Why even live
Dyel here
Should I get Preotein powder or pre-workout?
I don't get enough protein in my diet, but I haven't tried pre-workout yet and it sounds cool
>>36864280
Look at a scale you doublenigger. You are progressing at a normal pace. Rome wasn't built in a day.
>>36863915
>>36864250
Do it on legs right? I do PPL and I do glutes on leg day (it's upper leg isn't it)
>>36864280
I quit sodas for a week and a half now and the only time I want one is when I get home and when I hear the crack of a can open.
Only time will tell what a 12 pack of diet coke a day has done? Any Ideas /fit?
>>36864285
get whey
preworkout is 100% useless for you

Thanks.
I just looked it up again and remember seeing Extreme(the black labelled one) and a chrome labelled one. I didn't notice at first but the chrome one has like 4 kinds. Regular, Mass, Ripped and 50x. Which one should I pick up?
Why is PPL considered superior to the basic split? If I am lifting 6x per week, and hit all muscle groups twice (chest/tris, back/bis, legs/shoulders) and take my rest day when needed, without skipping anything on a split, will I see the same results as a PPL? If not, why the difference?
Hi /fit/
I've been doing SS for 4 months now. Last Friday I did 260 for reps and ended really tired. This Monday I tried 265 for reps but only got 5/5/3, so today I tred 265 again but couldn't even do 5 reps in the first set, I feel tired from the inner thigh and I think this is what is holding me back.
Should I deload and work the weight back up again, or should I just rest until I feel fully recovered?
What are good supplements to help someone with stomach and lung cancer ?
>>36864578
Chemotherapy.
>>36864367
The variations are pretty much memes. 50x has an extra 50% everything(except maybe caffeine, can't remember, it does have more per scoop); ripped has some coffee bean extract that won't help you lose body fat; mass has 60cals instead of 5 and has some fibre. Go with whatever, it doesn't really matter.
So, I started doing SS about a week ago, and incorporate Couch to 5K into it as well as going on a cut. Is this too much to lose weight or am I on board for a good gain / fat loss journey?

There's more inherent balance in the movements. Better still is a full body routine that includes the 6 basic movements: split leg or gait stance (e.g. lunge), hip hinge (e.g. deadlift), squat, upper body push, upper body pull and some kind of twist or throw.

supplements are bad for cancer. cancer grows on good food and nutrients. in fact it diverts them and gets them preferentially. the best thing you can do is make sure you get enough to eat to maintain lean body mass to help survive chemo. anabolic steroids and pot are really really good for this if you can convince your MD to prescribe them for you.

>>36864655
SS isn't so great for a cut. Too much volume and too much frequency. One set of five for every exercise, and two workouts a week if cutting. If you're fat, it's better to just eat maintenance and do SS and then cut on 5/3/1 once you've gotten all you can from SS.
>>36864742
It's something you have to experience, really. Get someone to put their hand on your sacrum when you're in the bottom position of the squat and push against their hand as you come up.
>>36863915
However much in grams it says. Just use a scale. It's more accurate.
I never hear anyone talk about CREATINE and BETA
does anyone take them? it works right?
>>36864950
Sure, they work. They help a little. But consistency in the gym, adequate protein and kcals, and good sleep are much more important than supplements.

I did SS four years or so ago in highschool got up to a 3plate deadlift eventually just drifted away from fitness
I don't want to be strong, I don't give a shit about functional strength, I just want marginally bigger arms for ego purposes
I'm thinking just like a push pull split, cut out legwork
something like curls, hammers, lat pulldown, row, deadlift
bench (and variants?), ohp, dips, tricep extension
>>36864968
1200 kcals of whatever you want. I suggest meat and vegetables since you're a little low on both.

>>36864913
Thank you senpai. I find it hard to eat at maintenence, since my TDEE on a cut is 2300 calories (because fat), so to maintain it's nearly 3k calories a day and I struggle to hit 1800.

1 scoop = 4 scoops
>>36863915
A scoop is X grams.
You get one with every tub. SOMETIMES TWO.
>>36863915
One scoop is 31 grams, which is the size of the plastic scoop that comes in the tub. 31 grams of Whey protein concentrate on average contains 25g of protein
>>36865133
A more moderate program would probably be a better choice for you then. You have decades ahead of you. Don't feel the need to rush things.

Drink your calories.
And eat calorie dense stuff. That's a mistake plenty of people make to start with - trying to add a ton of calories eating chicken breast and broccoli or something similar.

If you're a girl and have a bodyfat percentage of 12% then you will have very visible abs. You'll also be extremely unhealthy, your menstruation won't come and you'll be dealing with a host of other health issues most likely.
Getting chiseled abs for a girl is a fucked up thing to aim for. Those instagram whores are taking drugs and everything about them is fake - hair, tits etc.

Ok so this a question for runners, i was running at a pretty good pace when I first started 4.0 to 4.5 for 10 min (treadmill running sorry I'm embarassesd). So I decided to up my pace so I did 5.0 to 6.0 last week. Now my left knee hurts alot. I want to run normally again but it just hurts I didn't run for 3 days and tried running again at a slower pace tonight. It doesn't hurt as much but there's still pain. Is there anything I can do?
When do I know its time to stop bulking? I used to be obese and not sure if I Am still fat, 5'7 250 -> 5'7 156 and now to 170. I've been bulking for a few months but still have some fat left on hips, arms and lower body. Do I start cutting now?
If I use extra calories to compensate can I still run 3-5k a day and put on weight? I'm a long distance runner, I wanna put on weight but don't wanna give up running.
>>36866421
I-im a boy
>>36866538
Please help I want to run more.
Fucked my hip doing squats the other day, and now I can't do squats or diddlys for at least the next two weeks. I'm am absolute beginner (4 months in now) and was doing SL 5x5, and since squats and dls make up about half of that program I want to add some more upper body work for these weeks. Any suggestions?
>>36864280
If your main goal is losing weight fast you probably want to stay under 1500-1700 cals a day alongside exercise, you will also notice a waist size reduction first before you notice belly. Try on some pants that were tight and see if they still are.
Also muscle is building underneath your fat, this can make you appear bigger, but don't worry this will help you lose more fat quicker.
>>36864325
12 pack a day, you are going to be great. Pic related is what I was drinking (alongside some bought from the shops when I ran out) I just went cold turkey and just drank water, I feel great!
What does /fit/ think of the Warrior Diet?
I'm cutting and considering it. I'd approach it by con tinting calorie counting and training fasted in the mornings, powered by the meal the previous night. Bad idea or what? What are some experiences with this diet? Or a modified version? It's looks like an extreme version of IF at a glance.
>>36866897
>looks like an extreme version of IF
It IS intermittent fasting. And to my knowledge it came out before the Lean Gains protocol that I assume you're talking about.
The book is filled with a lot of pseudo-science but the fact of the matter is that it works well (for me anyway). You may say it's more extreme than LeanGains, but actually most of the research I've seen says that most of the physiological benefits of fasting didn't start happening until around the 18 hour mark. Although neither The Warrior Diet nor Lean Gains is actually 100% fasting as one recommends whey protein pulses throughout the day and the other recommends BCAA supplementation. Technically speaking, both of these break the fast. Regardless, not eating for a long period of time WILL make you burn fat in this period, and most people won't eat enough during the following 4 hour window to regain nearly as much fat as they've burned during the previous 20 hours.
>>36866944
Ah I see. Thanks for the response. What about muscle loss? Assuming you lift and get your protein, will this style of eating put you risk of loss? It's good you're having success on it though anon. I'm hopeful for myself
>>36863915
Roughly 4 quarter scoops.
Do I need to isolate arms or are exercises like rows, dips, pull ups (compounds) sufficient for building decent looking arms?
>>36863915
Roughly a half of two scoops
>>36866982
Muscle loss is never an issue provided you're eating well and aren't that lean.
The leaner you get, the more you need to worry. As you dip below 10%, you need to be more anal about things and I'd definitely recommend counting macros at that point. But when you're fatter you can get away with most things without worrying too much about losing lean mass. That's been my experience anyway.
>>36867001
Truth is it's an individual thing. I have a friend whose arms grow the most when he sticks to his compounds. Some people find they need to isolate their biceps, some need to isolate their triceps, some need to isolate both.
If you're just starting out I wouldn't worry about it. Your arms will grow just fine from the basics. Adding isolation exercises aren't likely to make much of an impact.
The important thing is progressive overload and your diet. You can do all the biceps exercises in the World but if your numbers don't go up your biceps won't grow.
What's a good 3 times a week workout? I'm starting to look for one to change to from SS in a few months. I'm guessing I'll have to do a full body routine, how does pic related look?
>>36867001
We have this discussion daily and nobody ever agrees. Compunds are more important and many great arms have been built by them only. Isolation helps but cannot replace compunds.
I don't curl atm simply because I'm not on a split and I don't have the energy, so I use a narrow grips in some compounds instead. I'm making arms gains this way but I'll surely isolate more in the future.
>>36867052

is yohimbine safe to consume? tl;dr please?
>>36867414
Yes, I've used it for two years now on and off, with no problem whatsoever. Just don't over do it, be patient and results will come. Take it with caffeine while fasted before low intensity cardio.
>>36867334
>>36867375
Variations:
Bench - incline, dumbbells
Squat - front squat, lunges
Ohp - Dumbbells, lateral raises
Just to name a few.
Also most important is volume and eat more like anon said.
>>36867334
Simple question, complex answer. One could say that reps, sets, intensity, density, frequency and all that are all just variables that you manipulate in order to facilitate continued progress.
With that in mind however, there are some things that work most of the time.
1) Figure out if you're doing something utterly retarded that could be holding you back.
2) If you're a tiny guy, make sure you're eating enough to actually build muscle.
3) Take babysteps. You can't keep just slapping on plates every session. That's impossible or you'd be World champion in just a years time. Instead find ways to make progress in small managable steps. To continue your bench press example, you could do the following:
Next session: 10x40kg
Next: 6x50kg
Next: 11x40kg
7x50kg
12x40kg (this will probably be sort of a PR for you but should feel manageble)
8x50kg (same as above)
10x42.5kg
6x52.5kg
11x42.5kg
7x52.5kg
And so on. The point is to try to make each session as "easy" as possible. But after a couple of months you'll look back and realize you've blown your old lifts out of the water. Takes patience though. But it's all about the little victories - just 1 more rep and it's progress.
What is some of the best tips for losing bodyfat? And don't give a copout answer like lose weight/caloric deficit.
I want to know if there are diets that are more efficient or specific foods, what activities (HIIT jumprope etc) are more effective for losing fat.
Also I tried using Scooby's bodyfat calculator and it is absolute fucking trash. Said I had 13% when I'm nowhere fucking near that. There is no way I'm under 20%. My pecs and thighs don't really have that much fat, but my stomach is fucking grotesquely fat.
>>36867534
There aren't any shortcuts.
The sad truth is that, while there's shortcuts to weight loss, there's fuck-all physical tricks for fat loss.
My bench is improving really slowly (an extra rep of 3 here and there.) I'm skinnyfat doing a slow cut with some muscle. Should I bulk/eat slightly above maintenance despite me having a lot of belly fat?
Is this loose skin of mostly fat? I have gone from 220 lbs to 135 lbs and look like this and I am 5'6...should I just keep lifting and stay on deficit to get rid of remaining skin / fat on chest and belly?
>>36868133
Before and after pic...loose skin or fat?
>>36868133
That's a bit of both. You could probably cut a bit longer. Some of the skin might be permanent.
What can I do to get over that post break up depression that's causing me to lose my appetite. I just want to study and get big

I'm looking for a video where they interview some guy/lifter/bodybuilder with a serious mental handicap induced by substance abuse.
I saw it before but can't find it anymore. The reporter basically talks to him while he puts in scoops of something and tells them he fucked himself up genuinely by taking all kinds of anabolica and what not.
He can't talk like a normal person anymore, probalby because some nerve damage but still he can't stop to do what he does and continues lifting and juicing.
Anybody got the link or even knows what I'm talking about? I know it has been posted here before.

Preworkout is basically a waste of money. Buy caffeine pills, take two of those before a workout, same effect...
A scoop of BCAA's will help keep you going during the later half of your workout.

I'm frustrated as shit. My lifts are up, I track literally fucking everything and I cannot lose the GODDAMN GUT AND TITS
I figured after 70 lbs my stomach would be flatter and I'd not be a fucking A cup anymore. Why the fuck isn't the fat falling off god FUCKING DAMNIT
I'm just fucking venting, but jfc. I've tried everything. Keto, EC stack, cutting out everything that ever game me any fucking remote enjoyment in life.
FUCK YOU /fit/ I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MAKING IT
Hey guys. So I go to planet fitness and I want to go to this new powerlifting gym that opened up in my town. Thing is for some reason when I go to another gym I feel intimidated and I get discouraged about workingout. Im not sure why though. The pf i got to has a lot of big guys (for me) and I don't feel intimidated there but when I workout ag gilds with my buddy I just feel like a total dyel. Ive inly been lifting for 4 months but im doing pretty well for that amount of time imo. I just reached 1pl8 bench (lol) but im pround of myself considering that i started from nothing. How do I overcome this guys?
>>36868536
Also, last time I went to golds some manlet came up to me while i was doing squats and said I was "doing it wrong" and he showed me how he does it. He kept bothering me with other excersises too say I was doing them all wrong even though my buddy who's a big guy has been working out for years.
>>36868468
What... Please try make sense instead of spouting useless meme bullshit.
>>36868474
just do couch to 5k and then bridge to 10k so you can eat more breh
>>36868393
Thanks, but not what I was looking for :^)
>>36868562
You were probably doing them wrong.
>>36868567
Dont do what youre doing. Youre doing it wrong. Study more and do it right.
>>36868636
Why don't you tell me what I'm doing wrong
How to have a body like this?
I stopped eating junk, and started lifting.
I did get stronger and bulkier though.
What's a good cycling equivalent to C25k?
Anyone have one of those pictures where they show buying healthy food is cheaper?
>>36868694
100km with small stops every hour for a mtb

Got tendonitis in my left knee. Doc said to avoid any deep flexion of the knee for a couple weeks.
What are some substitute workouts for squating or deadlifting?
how much time should you be taking between heavy weight, low rep sets? like 1 minute right?
>>36868942
Physio student here. Provided you've been diagnosed correctly you have two options as far as rehab goes. And just "avoid any deep knee flexion for a couple of weeks" is NOT a solution - It's doctor speech for "I don't know what the fuck I'm doing".
OPTION 1: Eccentric training:
Train twice a day
Pick 2 quad focused exercises
Do 3x15 eccentric-only (use healthy leg to do the concentric)
As pain subsides, increase weight
OPTION 2: Heavy, slow training:
Train 3 times a week
Pick 3 quad focused exercises
3 sets per exercise. Start out doing 15 reps but work up the intensity so you're doing 6 reps by week 8. Weight must be so heavy you can't do more than prescribed number of reps.
Reps MUST be performed very slowly. One rep should take 6-8 FULL seconds. That's 3-4 seconds down and 3-4 seconds up. WHOLE seconds.
Rules for both option 1 & 2:
Train this way for 12 weeks
Pain is OK while doing the exercises but should dissappear when you're done
All other activities or training during this period that exacerbates your pain must be discontinued
Avoid NSAIDs
Consider continuing with this kind of training occassionally after succesfull rehab to prevent shit coming back
>>36869023
As much as you need in order not to compromise performance too much. As you grow stronger you'll find that you'll need more and more rest if you go all-out on a heavy set. But really, 2 minutes minimum if we're talking about 5-6 reps or heavier. If you can repeat your performance from the previous set after only 1 minute then you're not pushing yourself nearly hard enough.
>>36868896
>Surgically remove your nippels
Srsly considering this, since even after all the workout I have manboobs made out of muscles.
>Tren
I still want to have my hair and working balls to inseminate my waifu.
>>36868851
Sounds like a goal to aim for. Thanks.
I've got some lower back pain, and the doctor advised me to test for about 1-2 weeks. I get that I shouldn't squat or diddly, but would (heavy) benching be OK?
>PR on deadlift is 160kg for 3
>start doing wendlers been on it for 2 weeks
>working about 20-30kg from my max
>today I unironically deadlifted 145kg for 10 reps today
>put that in the calculator and apparently now I can 1 rep max for 185kg
did i really gain like 20kg on my one rep max, just by just working at % of my max for 2 weeks and doing some extra reps at the end?
>>36869467
Who knows. A lot of people have had positive results from switching it around a bit. Maybe you were able to have a 185 1RM for a while but you didn't rest enough on your old routine.
531 is a really good routine for improving your 1RM either way.
>>36869488
yeah I'm starting to suspect it might be the case. Simply by doing some accessories and taking it a bit lighter (as opposed to trying to max out weekly), I may have improved my lift.
wew lads, gotta say I'm well chuffed (even if I don't really believe the 1RM formula's precision)
I ran this morning and last night. I am addicted to the runners' high.
Can I run again tonight? Is there a finite amount of endorphins/endocannabanoids in me that might burn out?
I don't get about gains. Just wanna be high.
So I've been kinda fucking up my cut, I'm about 3 1/2 months in. I ate 600 over my maintenance yesterday and I feel like my willpower is starting to wane, I was thinking that if I keep this up its just gonna keep falling into a cycle of being good for 3-4 days then eating over again because I'm restricting myself. I want this to be as efficient as possible so I was thinking of taking a break from cutting for a week then getting back on it to lose the last remaining 2-3% BF, has anyone tried anything to this effect?
When we speak about 1/2/3/4
is it 1RM 5RM 5x5 ?
>>36869684
It could be any. Usually it's 1rm, but for those of us to scared to attempt those like myself I just mean 5rm.
I keep waking up in my sleep feeling very thristy, usually on a workout day.
I think i'm drinking enough water, but not sure if i'm getting sodium or potassium.
should increase my banana intake or salt intake? Help

After doing squats my neck hurts like the next day? Does this go away eventually? I just started doing them so I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if it just goes away after awhile.
>>36864816
Thank u
Before I go out and actually get myself a gym membership, is there some exercises I could do to sort of prepare myself for it?
A fleshed out "gymless" regime would be mighty helpful

Whats so bad about alcohol really? if it fits your calories and macros, why shouldn't you drink it?
What's a good substitute for assisted dips? My gym's machine is broken and I'm too much of a Pajeet to do bodyweight

You could start by actually doing bicep curls

you are placing the barbell in an incorrect position, probably
>>36863930
I love scooby
>>36868138
of course its loose skin you retard, the only thing you can hope for is to start lifting and that the new muscular frame somehow manages to fill out that skin suit
>>36870051
there's a link in the sticky to answer your questions. tl;dr it's not that bad but drinking multiple days in a row lowers T

It can take a looong time. Seriously, get a break until it gets totally fine.
It's coming from guy who have had that shit.

I got like 1/4 jar left and its to expensive to just throw it all away..

If you ingested any of it call an ambalamps RIGHT NOW
Otherwise, continue as normal

Don't let the roaches get it
Hey chaps, I've suddenly acquired this discomfort in the top of my right hamstring, right under my glute, after stretching today. It doesn't feel painful per say, more like a tight knot that wants to be stretched, but when I attempt to stretch it starts to verge on pain so I'm hesitant to put any force on it.
Googling the symptoms gives mixed results, so I figured I'd ask here. Any advice would be great.
thx
>>36870729
Shift through it, and then taste it.
If everything is good, eat it.
>>36870151
??
It inhibits protein synthesis. That's why you shouldn't drink it.
Just did a 210kg/460 pound leg press for 10 reps for my leg day today.
Is that trash because it feels like an accomplishment, I don't have any beefy friends and everyone at my gym are high-tech Asians doing weird shit so I don't really have a frame of reference.
How important in calcium in your diet?
>>36870816
Leg press is a meme.
If you have decently strong legs at all you should be able to do at least six plates a side for fifteen, but to be honest, leg press really isn't any kind of standard of strength, regardless of what you leg press. It's like trying to measure overall strength by how much you do on the curl machine.
Wide hips hourglass shaped male here.
Obliques - to hit or not to hit them, that is the question.
Obviously, more mass in area A would be great to reduce the hourglass physique, but I have no idead how to do it without getting mass in area B, which obviously would make me look even worse.
>>36870912
Do a ton of chins and back work. If you hit the lats hard you can get that X-taper. It's the best us wide hip bros can do
>>36870912
Train obliques once every ten days or so, or twice every three weeks. Other than that, train back, and actually train legs properly. Once you grow some quads, a back and cut some fat you'll have the classic bodybuilding X-shape, which is really aesthetic. Much better than looking like a candy apple, in my opinion, which is what guys with narrow hips have until they really start training legs seriously.
>>36870912
Just start training them a little and see if you like what you see. It's not like they're going to be irreversably huge from one day to the other unless you're roiding
I've got 2.5 weeks to get my pull up reps up from anbout 12 to 16.
Some days I can do 16 some I don't worst case is 12, need to be able to do 16 on a regular basis.
What do.

Old lifter just coming back to gym after a 4 month break.
I have been doing SL at 50% of my old max. weights, but I feel like my workouts are doing fuck all. Is there any reason I should stick to this, or can I just hop on a PPL routine and push myself as hard as I can?
>>36870112
You forgot to say no homo
>>36871279
Well what would you prefer - for your workouts to feel like they're doing something but really aren't, or workouts that don't feel like they're doing anything but really are? Not saying that you couldn't get good results on a PPL split just as well as by doing SL, but always remember that results come from progress - NOT from making yourself tired. If you want to feel tired, just do 100 maximum single deadlift attempts and run a marathon. I guarantee you'd feel pretty toast while having had a workout that wasn't productive in any way.
That being said however, of course your training must be fun or you'll just lose motivation and get nowhere.
>>36871302
>forgot
hehe no
>>36871279
Progress your weights retard
You're either making gains or not challenging yourself
>>36871395
Hmmm, I guess I'll skip to PPL, and continue progressing my basic lifts as if it was SL. Maybe twice as fast as recommended, at least until I feel like I am being genuinely challenged.
I mean, as long as the set-up of my program is adequate, I just don't see why I would take it easy when I can just go hard.
>>36871462
will do, see
>>36871495

I'm plateauing on my lifts (doing SL 5x5).
What should I do?
>>36871535
deload like that exact program tells you to do, retard.
>>36871535
Switch to 3x5 on the lift if you have had to deload twice, obviously

strict form curls or cheat curls?
>>36871637
strict form curls. It's called cheating for a reason, they just don't work as well as strict ones. And presumably you are lifting to improve, not to impress anyone.
How many accessories is too much to add to SL?
On the bench day I add incline db bench, cable flies, close grip bench, skullcrushers and sometimes bench dips. Is this too much?
>>36869386
bump
>>36871637
Keep in mind that the entire point of doing an isolation exercise is to try to give some extra work exclusively for the target muscle. Cheating basically means using other muscles and/or momentum to assist - doing so sort of defeats the whole purpose of doing the exercise in the first place.
That being said, when used right cheating can be effective occassionally. For example you can use momentum to get the weight up but lower it under control (because you're stronger on the eccentric).
>>36871736
If you want to do a million exercises for your pecs, pick a program that's designed with that in mind. You add all that to StrongLifts it's not longer SL, it's something else.
>>36871870
Anything that doesn't seem to aggravate the pain.
Are arm curls good for anything?
>>36871718
>>36871908
i feel you...
The thing is though I heard that you can make better progress on cheat cursl because you can essentially keep on working out your biceps far past the time they get exhausted with strict-form
>>36863915
NOT ENOUGH
Is creation and cardio together a good mix. I am trying to slowly get better with running.
I dropped a 25 KG barbell plate on my pinky finger and it stings like a motherfucker.
However I can move it without a problem and only hurts when I press a little on it.
Is it fucked or am I going to see a little blue bruise on it tomorrow and I'll be okay?
What are some effective ways to train your core along with other muscle groups? I'm on a 5 day split and do a HIIT class on Sunday. I can handle the leg-centric and arm-centric portions of the workout, but the core finisher at the end ruins me. I'm looking to drop an additional exercise into 2-3 days of my routine, any suggestions?
>>36871254
Thanks m8.
What is the advantage of using a 7' barbell over, say, a 5' barbell?
>>36872199
Depends on what you are creating famalam
>>36872371

Is it okay to replace dumbbell flys with machine flys? The dumbbells hurt my shoulders and I get more chest activation with the machine.
>>36872411
I know, I'm just autistic.
It's wasted on cardio imo. Especially if your goal is to improve conditioning.
You're better off taking it for weightlifting so it can push you a bit harder to lift.
I've been doing SS for a little over a month now, and the squats are starting to get heavy. I'm squatting 135 lbs now, and I started noticing that my upper back has been cracking, sort of like cracking knuckles. This doesn't hurt at all, but it makes me nervous. Should I be worried? Does it mean anything?
>>36870912
Landmine 180's would be a good idea every week or two.
If they get too large for your liking, just stop training them as often.
>>36872504
>Well, I'm about to graduate college this year, and I'm still a virgin at 22. I've even been in bed with girls but unable to get it up. All of my best opportunities will disappear when I graduate. Is it too late for me to make it?
No, the virgin meme is stupid.
Try fucking a dude or something, you may not like girls. Or if you're on SRI/SSRI drugs, try something else.
>>36872782
Shit, not SS, meant SL 5x5.

Hey could i have a bf% aprox and some general weight loss tips, im having lots of troubles adjusting to my diet, im stuck at 86kg (im 27 yo 173cm)
also, how long till i see nice abs? 10 kg?
Sup /fit/ I got a question.
I ve been doing bench press for 5 months now, as my routine (Greyskull) prescribes. The problem with that exercise is, that I am most often alone at the gym and there are no safeties. Since I am pretty sure I reached a weight that could kill me if it dropped on my face or neck, I dont want to take the risk. I am thinking about switching to dumbbel bench press, I have adjustable dumbbels in the gym. My questions are:
-what are pros and cons of db bench press?
-how much weight I should be able to handle, If I bench 80 kg (including barbell)
-any tutorials/articles that I should see? I dont introduction into basic form, that much I can find on yt myself
How can I get my bf to workout?
He doesn't need to become a huge sick cunt, honesty simple bodyweight workouts bidaily like I do would do wonders for his skinnyboi body.
We've been together for a year and ever since we got together he's been saying he wants to get fit (told him about how I lost weight and how I feel better after getting fit and he says it was motivating for him) but constantly finds every excuse not to later on
I feel really guilty about typing this but when we're having the dirty I look at his body and get a little turned off and I feel like shit after for thinking this way cause I love him
He was 5'11 140 when we met but now he's 120ish so he's only becoming more skelly
Is there anything more I can do to convince him? I want him to feel like it's his choice and not that I'm forcing him
>>36873102
Post a normal photo, facing the camera normally in a normal pose.
No one will be able to tell it's your bathroom.
I'd say about 18%, or a smidge higher, I can't really tell like that.
Ive only been lifting for about two months but I dont ache after lifting even if I do it to failure...
Is this wrong? How fix?
>>36873171
sorry for the overzealous security, its just shit could shit the fan really hard if this gets out
how about those dieting tips
>>36873288
Scars, tattoos or something?
Well, that depends on how you'd like to diet.
Do you calorie/macro count?
Do you do any form of regular cardio?
If you'd like to see results quick, eat a 1,500 cal, high protein diet, with ideally at least 40g of fats. Take an ECA stack 2-3 times a day, depending on the way you tolerate it, and do a bit of mild cardio.
If you want to lose it as fast as you should be able to do safely, look up Lyle McDonald's rapid fat loss program, and try that out.
If you're issue is just adhering to the diet, eat a bowl of veggies with salsa when you're getting hungry, or something else very low calorie.
Drink lots of water, try something like swedish snus if you don't mind using nicotine, drink diet sodas, snack on something like sunflower seeds, which take a while to eat.
Etc.
There are a lot of things you can do, but the thing that helps the most, is just having the strength to say no to food, and occasionally going to bed hungry.
Intermittent fasting may help you, but I only like that on rest days, training fasted is a great way to cause me to faint.
hey dude, been working out for about a month and a half
does anyone have tip on cutting them love handles, and work out exercises that might isolate them, thanks brehs
I haven't worked out back properly in a long time. It's so bad that my lower back feels weak and my squats are heavier than my deadlift.
What are some good back exercises I should be doing?
>>36873779
Can't spot reduce.
Why do so many people think that working out something would make you lose fat there instead anywhere else?
>>36873779
Can't spot reduce, but you'll look better as you keep on training.If you're focusing on weight loss for now, and not building muscle, just cut.
>>36873866
Because that's what infomercials, media and TV have made people think over the years.
>>36873741
>Well, that depends on how you'd like to diet.
>Do you calorie/macro count?
no, im not organized enough
>Do you do any form of regular cardio?
yes, i do 30 minutes on the bike 3 times per week and lift 2 days
>>36873866
>Why do so many people think that working out something would make you lose fat there instead anywhere else?
because it sounds intuitive even tough science has totally disproven it and like the other fag said, it's a myth enforced by the media and weight loos industry
>>36873948
If you don't want to half-ass your progress, calorie count.
>>36873963
im happy with 0.5 kg per week, is that reasonable or is that an amount that requires extreme checking
what does a cheat day look like to you?
A few questions bros.
First off, what would be a good test booster? Available on amazon or some shit like that.
Also, is horny goat weed good?
IM looking for legal ways to boost my test w/o becoming a /fraud/.
Also, is l-carnitine any good or just a gimmick? The one from gnc.
Thanks pals
