All right /fit/ this thread is dedicated to manlets. Post height and level of confidence you shouldn't lack, but do

I think I'm like 6' 1" but my posture has been shit for a long time so I look 5' 10" sometimes
Height: 6'5"
Confidence: Fucking none, I can't even go outside without feeling my palms start to sweat.
Even shoe lifts would only make me 6'7". Is there even a reason to live brahs?
5 7 I fucking hate being short but you just gotta accept it. I would kill to have two inches... And I'm sure guys who are 5 5 say the same thing so I guess I can't complain. I'll probably just try to overcompensate with roids and material possessions to make me feel better about myself.
It really has nothing to do with height at all though, I just have low self confidence. Hope you enjoyed the blogpost

how many times a week is ideal for squats?
i honestly think the higher the better, ive squatted 5x a week before and my hips felt great, and my legs were as strong as theyve ever been
>>37791774
7 TIMES A WEEK
>>37792020
Riptoe pls go
>>37791774
I usually squat 2 or 3 times a week. If you're squatting 5 times a week, I gaurantee you're not squatting heavy.

My birthday is in a week and I'm at univ but don't know anyone.
Is it okay if I invite people from the gym I normally see to hang out with me at the bar for my 21st? We usually give each other nods and sometimes spot each other but rarely talk and never hang out.
How would /fit/ react if I invited you?
pls respond
need to know your opinion since i want to ask tomorrow
>>37791748
I'd go desu
may as well try, just ask what they're up to and say you were gonna hit some bars up for your birthday
only problem is you'll kinda look like a loser when they realize they're the only people you invited.
So outside of meals consisting of chicken/rice/veggies, what are some recipes that are /fit/ approved and aren't bland as fuck?

>>37791641

OK /fit EXPLAIN to me, how the fuck does he get away with this? He is filming the cop while insulting him. If I did this my face would be one with the pavement before I knew wtf hit me.

>cops are identical robots produced in a factory instead of a collection of individual humans with different levels of patience and control of temper
The cop is just being a professional.
...I'm guessing. I refuse to give the alium views.

You are a child. If you are in the USA, go up to a cop with a camera and start insulting him and post results.

Thanks /fit/

>>37791631
You force it down your throat and force feed yourself.
You think I got to 255 lbs of pure muscle without force feeding myself?
Non-/fit/ cellist here.
So I used to do my hours of practice without much attention to the order of the pieces being practiced. I tended to end suddenly, with really intense pieces with dramatic endings (like this: https://youtu.be/wijnBhSNTf8?t=5m58s where after I hit that high note at 6:13 I'd get up, put my stuff away and, you know, run to class). Often I'd be sore for the rest of the day and unable to practice as much because of it.
In order to avoid this I've taken to doing those intense pieces second-to-last, and then finishing with a slow...

Do some kettlebell swings and turkish get ups. Cross training with basic strength moves will improve your general physicality. Everything will become easier.
>>37791545
I'll definitely be looking into getting a kettleball after today
Is there anything I can do in the practice room after practicing, though?
Horn player here, not sure how much of this carries over to strings, but the main thing I notice in OP is that you mention only practicing pieces. I would advice to put a lot more emphasis on long notes and slow practicing. For a trumpet player, a typical hour of practice will be 30 mins of long notes, 15 minutes of scales and intervals and then 15 minutes of actual playing from chart.
Also, don't practice the whole piece. Find the passage that you have most trouble with and study it at half tempo (horn players will also put it an octave down if the notes are high)....

I don't want texas method, 531, and other powerlifting oriented routines 3-4 days a week.
Are the trappy ppl's any good? Haven't checked them out yet. Seen them floating around though
>>37791562
No trappy and all his routines are trash

Lets settle this once and for all.
What is
>the optimal male height for bodybuilding
>the optimal male height for picking up women
> 5'11
> 6'2
>183 cm
>193 cm
>>37791224
The shorter you are the better it is for body building, they just look nicer way faster.
For women anything under 6'2'' might as well be some guys bitch.

So on and so forth.

nofap and noporn do actually work. but you need to dime it down.
