High Bar or Low Bar?
Are alternating high bar and front squats 3x5 every workout enough?
Fitness goals: Gain strength (Don't really want to be a fat powerlifter.)
>>35958704
Just do high bar.
>>35958704
Do you want a strong squat which uses lots of muscles, or a squat which has a better transition to oly lifts and sports performance? If those things don't matter to you, then do the one that you like the most.
And are HBS and FS enough? For what? For lower body? No. You need some pulling work, especially because you do HBS and FS. Your posterior chain will get left behind. Add deadlifts / RDL / GHR and shit like that.

I think Luimarco could be natural. He's not too big but pretty lean still. What do you think?
Are there any other non-juicers on Youtube?

Nope, quads are suspicious as well
>>35958105

Hi people.
Italian Fatty here. 27, 178cm x 107 kg. (5"10 x 235lb). this autumn i was 112kg.
Decided to get my shit together and change my life. Quitted smoking, started univeristy again (mech engineering). Also broke up with my (now ex) gf after 8 years because couldn't stand that shit anymore. My gf was skinny, not landwhale. I'm smart and funny so always had girls way out of my league phisycally speaking.
Started february 1st with diet (just couting calories, no professional help) and doing some workouts and cardio i found over the internet.
I have always been quite active, i'm not one of those fatty that can't walk, jump, run. In fact i'm pretty strong, stronger that the average skinny guy. I've always walked a lot, mountain and country mainly, with my dogs.
The thing is...i have grown up in a restaurant. No fast food, a real fancy restaurant. So i enjoy good food in huge portions.
When i was 15, my parents moved in another region to work in another restaurant, i lived alone until 18. From fatty boy i dropped to 83 kg (still big but ok) smoking weed and doing normal life. Then my parents came back, and i raised my weight to this point.
10 days are gone, now i weight 103. Dropped my first 4 kg while being under control.
Already feel better, and having more willpower than ever to keep going.
I hope in 6 months to report back in and be like a lot of you guys. Can't wait.
Thanks for listening to my story (tfw no friends) and wish me luck.
Have a nice day
ps- pic related it's me

You won't make it because you lack motivation. You will never achieve your goal because you're too much of a bitch. Gl loser

>>35957810
isn't the deadlift a push?
>>35957843
lucky bastard
I have fairly wide hips like this guy, and im pretty much skinnyfat atm, i reacently started working out but i really dont want to have this shape, how can i make my hips smaller/look smaller?
>>35957634
>how can i make my hips smaller/look smaller
You can't. Get over it.
>wide hip bro confirming, we've got bad genetics bro, we will never be shirtless models
>>35957634
you basically can't.
Getting a big chest/back/lats to compensate is all you can do.
Also this >>35957654

Can you guys critique my deadlift form? My lower back is screaming at me after I do sets, and I get stuck at a pitiful weight. I think I'm using too much back and not enough hamstring activation. On reps 4 and 5 I look like one of those drinking birds.
A couple of notes:
- I did 5x5 with a reduced load here (volume day), this is the fifth set. Weight was 108 kg.
- My gym doesn't have Olympic style bars and plates so I had to stack some plates to get more or less to standard height (it's actually slightly above).
- Yes I know I'm dyel even after a year of lifting. How should I train to stimulate more hypertrophy, using the same barbell exercises of SS?
- You can see my back bending slightly on reps 4 and 5.
>>35957364
Here's a bigger version, maybe it's clearer.
>>35957364
>more than a year of SS
???
Make sure your arm with the hand facing outwards in mixed grip is completely straight all through the pull. It looks like it's a little flexed at the beginning of the pull -> that results in a torn bicep at heavier weights.
The main issue is that there's a LOT of slack in your body (arms, back angle, legs) when you actually start the pull. When you start the lift, that slack works itself out which is why your back angle changes at the beginning of the pull. Considering that this deadlift is above standard height, it's probably worse when it's at the right height.
In terms of back rounding you're doing fine, a small amount at the end of whatever is tough for you is OK.
Overall your deadlift is pretty solid. 5x5 is a lot of reps for deadlift. What program are you doing? Most volume days I know of don't have that amount of deadlift.
Anyone else just hate idiotic "manly" culture built around strength training. Every time you look for something related to lifting heavy things up and putting them down, you inevitably stumble upon
>metal music
>screaming men
>shaggy beards
>words like 'primal', 'beast', 'raw', 'ultimate', 'hardcore', 'kill' etc

Is an image of a lifter capable of intelligent thought an impossibility?
>>35957066
The fitness culture is really cancerous in general. There is a huge emphasis on HOW MUCH weight you can lift, and not HOW you're lifting it. So you have people struggling to hit however many plates they think will make them adequate and half repping, kipping, not controlling the weight, rushing to fnish their reps, etc. That's why so many threads on /fit/ are from people with high bodyfat or shit bodies who'll try to pretend they "don't lift for aesthetics" so they can anonimously post their stats with weight they couldn't lift with proper, controlled form and feel somewhat good about themselves.
It's a culture where the bigger, the meaner, the better. Get a crew cut, grow a beard, grunt or whatever, which is ironic considering the number of actual closeted homossexuals in this board.
>>35957066
>>35957140
This so much guys omg, you're literally giving me a boner.
Fuck this bullshit culture
>>35957066
The culture surrounding lifting, /fit/ in particular, is really loathsome.
Not much of it has to do with health & fitness, there seems to be a majority of loud fat losers with terrible diets who laugh at doing cardio.

Would a man without any fighting expierience but with a weight of 180lb and a height of 6' be able to win a fight against ronda?
No. She could just get him in a hold and be done with it
Some yes, some no.
You; no.
>>35956483
Of course, any male with a bodyweight of 160lb + would be able to destroy that weak bitch.
She may have more stamina and better grappling skills but that doesent change the fact that she is a woman.

/fit/ If you eat under your maintenance calories is there really a reason to do cardio since you are burning the fat anyways?
If so what is the point of cardio?
It's good for you.
>>35955567
You lose it faster and appear more vascular.
70% of body fat is released through carbon dioxide when you exhale, hence, cardio.
>>35955567
To get fit....
Easier to lift if you can run for five minutes without puking and crying.

Why does that retard have 85k subscribers?
Is it mostly fatfuck powerlifters who need encouragement to go on in life as a fat fuck because "muh strength" or is he an inside joke who people follow just to get a kick out of?
I can't ever get a serious answer on whether his partner is a MtF tranny. Can anyone clear it up?

What's /fit/'s bathroom routine?
In order:
Poop, shower, shave, teeth.
I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
in order
>brush teeth
>shave
>shower
>dry with towel
>apply skin care creme on face, wipe face very gently afterwards with towel as to look and feel fresh
>deodorant if going somewhere
