I wad sugested 2x25 reps on preacher curls by a pt
Why is that ? Rep range seems way off
Because PT's are fucking useless and should be shot
>>36618615
>by a pt
here's your answer
>>36618615
You could've asked him, you know?
Hey /fit/, I'm going to go to the gym for the first time today with the SS routine. Is there anything I should know that the book didn't tell me? Is there anything the book told me that you think I should absolutely not forget? Also, how do I use the clips, just put them on the end of the barbell and move it down? How long should I wait between sets?
>>36618549
do GOMAD
you'll figure out how to use the clips once theyre in your hands
rest as long as you need to
do accessory movements
>>36618549
Don't do as much weight as you can on the first day. Obviously progressive overload is important to getting stronger, but if you've never touched a weight it's better to familiarize yourself with a movement using a weight you can do for 20+ reps, until it feels less awkward. Some people recommend not going heavy for 4 weeks, but I think that's a bit excessive.

Thanks, guys, keep them coming if you can.
Would it be wise to work out on the day you're going to have sex or would you advise against it?
Working out increases test. So yes get a good pump in.
>>36618529
Don't worry OP, in your case this is something you'II never have to worry about.

>>36618395

No.
WeII this was a quick thread!
>>36618388
My sleeping patterns fuxored.
>>36618390
The health benefits I mean. I know I won't get the same kick.
Could you pass the Navy Seals fitness test?
>>36618347
swim and run no
bw obviously yes
>>36618383
I never swim so idk about that. Pushups and situps, no. Pullups and run yes.
>>36618347
with a few weeks of training, i think i could do all of them but the pullups. my back/biceps are awful
Should I bother learning lowbar if I can highbar fine and comfortably?
I'm on SS atm, don't know if it would be worth switching over for them strength gains
>>36618027
High bar works the quads more. Low bar lets you squat more weight, but you are working the vastus lateralis more - not the quads.
I do low bar, because I like the appearance of detailed side legs more than quads, plus you can do more weight.
>>36618027
It doesn't matter if you don't have a professional background in bodybuilding or powerlifting.
Do whatever feels better for you. If you do deadlifts there is literally no need for low bar at all desu
>>36618097
Dont listen to this retard spouting busted broscience.
>>36618114
Don't listen to this retard who doesn't understand biomechanics.
Daily reminder not to overbulk
>>36618009
Don't get it.
>tfw you bulk the right way, eating heavy and lifting heavy
>tfw you get hurt and work and can't lift for 3 months
>tfw you eat the same as if you were still bulking
>tfw you started to look like the picture to the left

He looks a lot better when lean.
Is barefoot running safe, or is it just a meme?
I want to start jogging, and eventually running, but I'm too poor to afford a decent pair of running shoes.
>>36617840
Don't know if it's unsafe, but it's definitely a meme.
If you're running on soil it's ideal, but you shouldn't do it on hard flat surfaces like pavement.
>>36617840
lt's not a may may, it seems you're too stupid to know what a may may is.
Who /squat more than deadlift/ here?
I had a bad sciatic nerve for a few months that put my deadlift at a standstill, when I started again I had to begin from baby weight to make sure it didn't happen again. it's still catching up.
Current 5rms:
squat 167x5 kg
dl 157x5 kg
>inb4 quarter squats, I do deep oly style squats.
180kg x 4 with a belt, 1x 180kg raw. Squat
180kg x1 with a beld 170kg raw Deadlift
I just don't like deadlifting, and i don't wanna tear a bicep.
I squat 2 times a week, and i don't want to DL before i squat and im too tired to DL after i squat. So i usually just do 5x1 lightweight once a week.
>>36618065
I know what you mean. deadlifting doesn't feel as good as squatting. Are you tall? I'm 6'2 and naturally sort of lanky, I think that may be causing my deadlift dislike.
I also deadlift after 1x5 heavy squats so that may be why. I found that if I put it anywhere else it's hard to recover in time for the next workout session.
>>36618137
Usually taller people enjoy deadlifts because most tall people come with long limbs

Hey guys, I'm gonna try out creatine for the first time. Any brand reccomendations? I was just gonna get the 1 kg bag of Bulk Supplements brand on amazon. Good choice?
I've only tried GNC and ON, ON wins by a mile. The GNC flavoring tastes like straight fucking garbage
>>36617720
remember to only take 5 grams a day (aprox 2 teaspoons). load/deload is bullshit, just take it every day and you will see results in about a year.
>>36617720
Does creatine do shit? I always thought it was useless just like testo boosters, but i see many people take creatine.
What does it do?
Instead of having chest, back, and leg days, what's stopping me from doing all of it in one sitting, twice a week?
Is "you'll be too tired to do it all man" the only argument? Or is there something like less muscle gaining efficiency going on here?
>>36617617
Yeah, fatigue is the main thing. And don't brush that off too lightly. Nothing inherently wrong with a 2 day full body routine though.
>>36617640
Thanks bruv
Best for natties. Just dont go to failure and make sure you eat enough.
Any college running backs here comfortable with sharing a pdf/txt/whatever of the weightlifting program they had in school?
I got the cardio (sprinting) portion down, just looking for what kinds of lifts they do to supplement that. Google only brings up horse shit results. Thnx in advance

Most of these routines seem to be a bastard child of 5x5 and SS, with some accessories added at the end of the workout for the beach (curls, tricep extensions, etc.).
>>36617419
Hey, anon
Todd Gurley here. In college I did I rigorous program called GOMAD, prescribed by my college coaches, and it really helped me get where I am today
Hope that helps
