ITT all things barbell
We spend all this time talking about what barbells provide and none about how to maintain these gains enablers
Do you clean your bb (>inb4 power clean puns)
How often?
With what?
Additionally, I just bought a bb I found on craigslist and I wonder if there's any way to identify what brand/test it is

running anavar on my test cycle.
going ok, 75mg/day.
2nd week in.
talk about anavar and tiny trip.
>>36560617
>75mg/day
Mirin wallet

Local source sells 50 mg anavar tabs for 4$. Decided to blow 1200$ on a run of them on top of 1 gram test e per week. I'm in my 2nd week of 200 mg per day and I think this might be legit anavar. Muscles are blowing up rock hard from within, dry gains and strength is up like 30%.
>>36561972
you spent 1200 on a cycle of anavar?
i don't roid yet but isn't this a bit retarded? couldn't you have gotten hgh and shit for that
Is there any benefit to walking around witj a weighted vest all day besides feeling like a hot shot? Like 50-100 pounds?

While loaded carries are absolutely based, understand that you will adjust to that weight fairly quickly.
Your calves and traps will definitely hypertrophy as they require constant load (ever see the calves or traps of a former fat guy?)
Has anyone here tried intermittent fasting? I've read good things about its effects on insulin sensitivity, testosterone production, and weight loss, but there isn't much research out there.
Anecdotal evidence being the next thing, let me know how you do your fasting, and how would you answer the following questions?
Have you lost weight with it? How much, and how fast?
Do you feel like you have more testosterone? And if you've gotten it tested, what were the results?
Would you recommend it?
Is there anything else I should know?

It's just the meme fat loss diet of the moment.
Calories in, calories out

Dairy:

Meat/alternatives:
>w/e meat that's nearing expiry date is 50% off

Bump
Last bump
Looks good, but do yourself a favour and dont fall into the food is only fuel trap.
If you look up recipes and learn how to cook, your meals will be both "healthy" and tasty. If you crave junk over your own cooking you need to step it up.
Good luck.

*which

Because OHP is the hardest to progress on and the biggest indicator of strength
Because you need to read Practical Programming and learn how to progress your training to work through the plateau.
Also, eat more
Exercises to isolate the deltoids, triceps, and traps helped me tremendously with OHP. At least do something like lateral raises, since lateral deltoids are often missed between the bench and OHP so they may be under developed
How do you guys develop such good self control?
I'm a bigger than most guy (5'10-232 lbs) and I've been trying to lose weight for a while now (about 4 days). I actually had a good eating routine but I slipped back I to my old habits and I splurged pic related in one sitting.
What do I honestly do guys? I don't mean to be like the >muhgenetics crew but I've been eating horribly my entire life with fatty foods and I don't think my body is biologically used to healthy food which is why it's lashing out.
Pls help.
>>36558992
No man you're just pathetic and have no self discipline because it's a completely foreign concept to you. Fast for 24 hours now that you ate all that icecream fatty.
Forge your mind before you forge your body or you will never make it.
In the short term, will power and not buying the foods that you're addicted to, so that they're not constantly around you.
In the long term it's all about momentum and takes much less effort.
What sort of restrictions have you set for yourself?
Anybody on the cheesy potatoes diet?
What kind of results can I expect? (Day 5 so far)
Just leave

Don't respond to me or my thread ever again.

Did you use kraft singles?
Buy some block cheddar, bro
Tell me straight, is this gyno?
>>36558590
90% chance it is.
10% chance it's just fat.
yea gyno and obesity
>>36558590
No
You're skinnyfat with an extra of fat
How good are calisthenics for muscle growth?
>>36558482
not as good as lifting, but not bad. you'll plateau though
Definitely a solid way to start. I did nothing but natty calisthenics for years and got into pretty decent shape. But lifting takes it to the next level.
300 push ups, 300 sit ups, 10km run a day believe me you'll be good ;0
In the new batman movie, Ben is doing some hammer swinging on a giant tire, and also pulling said giant tire buy a thick rope, alone with bench press and weighted pull-ups. My question is, are the tire workouts just meme exercises? Are they really optimal to get the kind of strength he's going for? Is a dynamic object like pulling a tire by a rope more or less effective than cable flys, etc?

I walked of the cinema after that. Fuck this movie for promoting crossfit.
>>36558518
Is that what crossfit is?
It seems like for the type of strength/ability he's training for that would be more useful than just lifting, wouldn't it?
>see this guy running every morning in front of my house with this... parachute ?
>wat do
call the police, nigga is clearly stealing parachutes
Stop him, obviously. This shit cannot be tolerated.
>>36557185
OH MY FUCKING GOD THE FOUND ANOTHER VICTIM
I TOLD HIM TO NOT SELL THAT PARACHUTE
I TOLD HIM IT WAS CURSED
RUN NIGGA RUUUN
Anyone here ever use acupuncture to heal a muscle? I've had a 2 year old strain in my teres minor and at this point I'm desperate for any remedy. Think it'll help?
It's complete bullshit.
Stretch erry dae n naight
Sort of. I use a 25 gauge needle and put in once into my glutes twice a week. Seems to really help my gains. Oh also the needle is full of test.
