Powder confirmed for snake oil
BBC Iplayer "trust-me-im-a-doctor-series-4-episode-1"
Was their protein intake the same though?
That's literally all it is, an easy way to increase protein intake. Nobody here thinks otherwise.
>>35526153
You mean, protein powder?
I think that was pretty obvious. It's just a source of proteins and it doesn't claim to be superior to other sources of protein. It's usually cheap and convenient.
That's already common knowledge, protein powder isn't magic. It's just "food" as far as your body can tell. It just makes it easier and quicker to get the amount of protein you need, but it doesn't do anything you CAN'T do with real food.
Oldfag here having a quick visit.
Whatever happened to Tinytrip?
Anyone know if hes still alive or did he kill himself cuz of all that depression going on?
Does he post on some website still or maybe he's finished with the /fit/ lifestyle?
[spoiler]Inb4 who the fuck is tiny[/spoiler]
I dont remember what happened to trip but he hasnt posted here in forever
>>35526088
It would be interesting getting some kind of update of how they old trips are doing.
Like trucrypt(lmao) and quad.
Wouldnt surprise me if tiny killed himself, considering all the shit he got thrown at him here.
>>35526156
Im sure tiny is still living at his moms house lol
I was shoulder pressing with DBs today. Did a set of 10 with 30kg dbs, felt like had more in the tank. Wanted to go up, gym doesn't have 32.5s so I picked 35s. I literally couldn't kick em up and start the set. I must've looked like a try-hard dumbass.
Give me some tips on how to get em in position to start the set please.

>I must've looked like a try-hard dumbass

Deadlifts and curls?
If your not e stating then you should have no problems 2bh
>>35526206
Ofc I can pick up off the floor, my problem is kicking up them up to starting press position with my knees, after I get seated.
>>35526019

In my mind, gym has always been a way to be better at another sport, not an actual sport in itself (except of course for Oly lifting).
Now, I've only recently learned that there is a legit cult around it, i.e. championships, news sites, even star players like Rich Froning.
What does it have more tha an usual gym? Why does it attract so many people?

First tell us who this semen demon is. For high test purposes of course.

Crossfit is mainly an invention by bored first-worlders who feel they have too much time, are too healthy and have too much money.
It's always like that when people live are a little too wealthy and secure, they either try to help the poor to make the world fairer, get fat and lazy to satisfy their gluttony or literally try to kill themselves to "feel alive" or whatever.
Crossfit is the latter.

Damn, how did you get to that conclusion?
I am working on being able to do things like pic related or the splits. I usually stretch at least after every workout, but I was wondering if I possibly could speed up the process a little.
How often and strong can I stretch without weakening the muscles too much or even injuring them. Any aditional tips are also appreciated.
Also mobility general
I heard stretching after the workout won't increase your mobility cause the muscles are tight and you will just get them back to original size.
Also foam rolling worked better for me for some reason
>>35525766
do dynamic drills
long static stretching sucks
Mobility is a meme

Hey bros, I don't like to listen to music in the gym because I'm an uncultured swine. What are some good podcasts y'all listen to while lifting.
ricky gervais show/podcasts
vinnie paz's broadstreet breakdown
Security Now - IT security, related to my job
Triangulation - they often have very interesting guests
RebelsTaxi's Pizza Party Podcast - because I always liked cartoons
Anything by black people.
Feels good hearing a darkie talk about shooting his mac 10 and dealing drugs when you're looking for that last rep.
You have 20 seconds to justify why you aren't taking cold showers, smoking Cuban cigars, going to massage parlors to cheat on your girlfriend, and eating blended raw eggs with spinach every day? Aren't you alpha?
>>35525479
>cold showers
I like hot showers
>smoking cuban cigars
sounds expensive, I am not that into smoking
>massage parlors
sounds expensive
>cheat on your gf
no gf
>eating raw eggs and spinach
well, when I am too lazy to cook them I will pop them raw but no thanks usually
>>35525479
Cold showers after lifting attenuate muscle growth. You're literally killing gainz with your bullshit bro science. excuse me while I find my source
Smoking cigars is legitimately enjoyable.
Has anybody read about Soylent? It seems like an amazing way to control calorie intake etc. Minus the veganism what do you think the effects would be on gains.
>>35525394
Seems like autism: the food.
>>35525394
ITS PEOPLE
Google 100%food. They have a high protein version. It's like watery oatmeal texture, tastes like cake batter.
>sumo deadlifts is cheating
has anyone who's said this actually been able to pull sumo?
>>35525295
http://startingstrength.com/site/article/why_almost_nobody_should_pull_sumo#.Vo6hmuw8LCQ
>>35525295
Here are two different points of view on the issue.
Against sumo for training: http://startingstrength.com/site/article/why_almost_nobody_should_pull_sumo
In favour of both styles: http://www.strengtheory.com/should-you-deadlift-conventional-or-sumo/
For competition you obviously want to pull with the stance that you are stronger with.
