Is there any point in doing a workout that doesn't use a barbell?
Seems like a great way to get an asymmetrical physique.
I'm in the process of fixing my bigger right side, bigger right back, bigger right shoulder and tricep. I'll never do anything but symmetrical barbell workouts ever again.

All dumbbell workouts are pointless meme workouts. You have 4 variations of bench press and countless grip widths you can play with.
Dumbells are retarded. So are cables. If you want cable workouts buy a bowflex faggot.
>>36629521
My left arm is still bigger and stronger than my right after 6 months of barbell training. Pretty sure it's because I jerked off so much solely with my left arm even though I'm right handed. I don't think many people notice but I do and it sucks.
I can feel it while doing bench and ohp, right side is working way harder to catch up

Is there any chance of making it without taking whey protein? How the fuck is someone supposed to get in 150+g of protein per day without spending all day at home preparing meals?
>>36629343
It's easy as fuck. 650g of chicken breast is like 190g protein on its own. Stop bitching, whey really isnt needed.
Eat lean meat, chicken or fish. It's easy, faggot.
Daily reminder that if you aren't eating the 30g of protein per 100 cal provided by pic related you are never gonna make it.
>30g protein
>120 kcal
fuck off fgt.

jokes on you I'm a neet without education
You're literally shit posting because you're a skinny faggot. But hey, at least I'll be fucking you're wife while you provide for her and bring up my kid.
15 quid an hour is that the minimum wage in you country? I'd kill for that.
I've been doing strong lifts for nearly 2 years now and I've reached the point where I don't want my squat to increase any more. I'm more interested in building my upper body, particularly my shoulders, so is switching out back squats for front squats a bad idea?
>>36629033
Bump
Just alternate bsck and front squats. You don't want to lose the progress you already made with back squats.
>>36629033
Don't think it will affect your shoulder development
The only thing is that front squats do not active as many muscle groups as back squats in the lower body
Is bacon a super food?
No. It will clog your arteries.

Currently cutting.
175g soy chicken w/ salad, ~400-500 calories
What have you had today? Cutting? Bulking? Maintaining?
>soy chicken
Cutting, literally 1 egg with 20 grams of turkey, an orange and 2 oz of tuna for the whole day.
I already had my egg + turkey will eat the orange around 10 am then go to bed at 12 wake up at 9pm and eat the tuna around 11pm.
Repeat for as many days as possible.

Goodbye gains
How do you resist temptation on a cut?
>>36628966
I masturbate.
Typically after I jerk it, I am no longer tempted to sex anyone but gf.
I eat a cookie or a chocolate or something sub 50 cal a day for a few days and I don't feel like eating any more cookies.
>>36628966
Separate yourself from the food until the temptation is gone.
If you constantly feel the temptation, practice catching yourself when you sub-consciously start to stuff your face, the best thing about this strategy is that it'll last longer than separating yourself from the food.
Hello amigos im a 21 year old weak NEET from Germany who has to get his shit together in the fallowing 3 months because im gonna get kicked out to learn how to stop being a punk ass bitch the hard way.
My body/brain is pretty shit and unbalanced/low functioning which is probably the main reason why im so pathetic so i desided to build a homegym to recover. I have 1k€ to spend on equipment and nutrition but im pretty much a leaf in the fucking wind and maybe you can give me some advise on what to buy for max. progress in a timeframe of 3 months. My main plan is to do...

what can I say, I understand why you're being kicked out..
>>36628988
Well yeah i convinced my parents to kick me out because im trying to start my own business and need the pressure to succeed. I never really worked a real job most of the time i invested other peoples money or played poker.
>>36628962
Good luck kameraden.
Probably the wrong country to decide to be an entrepeneur but..
Has anyone here ever tried these?

I've been thinking about making these and pistols and sprints my leg training. i went to feel athletic again and i feel that squats and deadlifts (conventional) are too taxing to be able to benefit from both them and athletic training
>>36628886
it's just a deadlift with sumo mixed-grip?
>>36629038
much more narrow stance
>>36629090
that's just because his femurs are long, so that stance width works for him.
to be honest, i don't really see how this is a "new" exercise. it's just a deadlift variation and negatives. negatives are great, don't get me wrong, but they're not new.
if you want to be athletic, weightlifting isn't the right direction. running, swimming etc, more cardio stuff. weightlifting is about maximum power in short bursts, not about endurance.
if you want to look better,...

Does this really make a good forearm exercise or is it just a meme?
they make tiny difference over a long time.
just deadlift and farmers carry m8, will work better.
>>36628843
thanks man
deadlift and basically any exercise I need a strong grip to support? Or does deadlift have some special features that make it ideal for forearms?
>>36628884
I noticed any sort of pull exercise works forearms well, and pull exercises tend to need a lot of grip strength. so ye.
If you look at a middle-aged man who has done manual labour, his forearms are generally massive.
Push Press vs Strict Over head Press.
Which one do you guys prefer?
>>36628826
Strict. I do both tho
>>36628826
Strict.
strict, better carryover to my bench

I have heard all my life that exercise should make you feel better, but for me it's the complete opposite. Even if it's something I personally love, like badminton, I feel like I don't enjoy anything afterwards. I still exercise to stay fit, but I don't enjoy it at all and will in fact be miserable for the rest of the day.
What is wrong with me?
>>36628642
Exercises dont make you feel better.
Lifting doesnt change your life.
Doing sports doesnt make you more confident.
ITS ABOUT THE BODY.
Having a phenomenal body makes you feel better.
Being super shredded and jacked changes your life.
Having 17" inch arms and 6 pack abs makes you more confident.
> HUUR BADMINTON DOESNT MAKE ME FEEL BETTER
> Badminton
I have found your problem
>>36628642
Idk. But try not to be miserable man. As shit as that sounds, one day you are gonna wake up and be 80 and about to die. Lets try and push bad thoughts out of our head for now. We only get one life.
