Last Friday I finally made an x-ray of my back because of back problems, thinking I had mild scoliosis. Welp, this is how my back looks. Anyone else with scoliosis? How does it affect your lifts?
>>36029191
Not me but my good buddy has scoliosis on par with yours. He lifts and works construction and it doesn't cause him too many problems besides some mild pain if he works too long, but he's totally fucked in 15 years.
Do whatever it takes to fix it now, before you're confined to a wheelchair.

In april I'm going to get an MRI scan and then I'll know wether I need to have surgery or not. I'm currently 20 years old, so I still have time to correct some of my back. But damn, sometimes I deel like i have the back of a 60 year old
What do YOU personally make sure to do (all the time) to be certain that you stay healthy?
Come on /fit/, you got this.
I'll start with:
>Easy Mode: Drink water (no tap water)
Everyday.
>Medium Mode: Do push-ups, crunches, lift weights, cardio/other
5-6 days
>Hard mode:
>1. Name that insanely healthy food you eat that nobody else probably eats (hint/example: cumin tea, chickpea salad, etc.)
Nearly every...

> No tap water
Do you live in fucking Mexico? There's nothing wrong with most Americans tap water. If you buy it from a bottle you're a retard.

Government mixes estrogen and heavy metals into the water supply to make people docile, but besides that its fine.
>>36028541
Do you actually believe that? If so then fuck off back to /pol/ with your paranoid schizophrenia bulllshit
>"Anon, if you lift weights so much why don't you have a six pack? All the guys I see on Instagram have them!"

>How /fit/ do I have to be for women to be attracted to me?
Women don't like me bros. I've been working out for 10 months and I have some noob gains; I've developed pecs, no more man boobs, I can actually see my triceps now, my arms are bigger, I've lost some belly fat, and the most significant improvement has been my back, its much stronger now. Also I've generally gotten stronger, I can do pushups, pull ups, and dips now, before I could barely do a single one. How ripped do I have to be until I can get a gf? Not even...

Congrats faggot you're the poster child for the big dumb elitist bodybuilder stereotype
There would be no posts.
This is a serious question.
How do you guys stay motivated?
It's not so much motivation as much as discipline.
It's like taking a shower or brushing your teeth before bed. I don't even really think about it.
I get real pumped up when I want to go somewhere though. I'm a big hiker, sometimes I'll take a look at the map and decide which National Park I want to hike in.
Best trip ever was hiking Florillon in Quebec right before dawn. Saw whales leaping in the ocean.
Next one will be on Grand Manan Island
Looking in the mirror and being pleased. Pushing myself so the day I look in the mirror and I'm disgusted by my body never comes

When I bench, my left shoulder pops really loudly like a tendon is sliding over bone. I try to retract my shoulder blades all the way back but it still makes the noise. How do I stop this? Can I just substitute bench with pushups until my shoulder fixes itself?
Does it just make a noise, or does it hurt as well? If it's just a noise, I wouldn't worry so much. Pain would be where I start to worry. You can try pushups for a few weeks and see if it goes away or stop doing any horizontal pressing for a few weeks altogether and see if it goes away. It's not like you're going to lose your gains.
What is recomping? How does it work? Does it really even work?
What kind of routine do NFL players do? Like how do they get up to doing 20-35 reps @ 225?
Im just asking about the lifting routines.
I dont care about the incline sprints, etc.
I want abs but I don't want my waist or hips to get wider so how do I do that?
How did you quit the soda /fit/?
My fucking craving are out the roof.
How long does this take?

Post workout protein shakes and another scoop with milk before bed. Satisfies sweet tooth for me
Cheapest source of protein powder and/or creatine? Is the cheap stuff as effective as the more expensive brands?

Come on man you know what I mean

I have a Bachelor's in Exercise Science and a Masters of Nutrition. Here are some weightlifting myths:
1. Split programs, aka working a muscle part once a week (chest and tris Mondays) is an ineffective training method for anyone not on steroids. Muscle protein synthesis lasts only 24-48 hours after a workout. This means that muscle has 4-5 days in the week where it's not growing at all.
2. The only way alcohol kills your gains is potentially disrupting your sleep patterns.
3. Unless you are a proper athlete BCAAs are basically useless.

Are you serious about the protein? Is the roof so low?
Then why the fuck am I not growing even though I'm consuming over my own body weight in proteins?
