Hey /fit/ newb here wanting advise.
>Girlfriend and I have decided to start getting into shape (or more so, we're not fat slobs).
>Problem is neither of us are very knowledgeable about exercise regimes. Internet being the vast source of info is a bit overwhelming so was wondering if people could advise where to start?
>Would like to exercise at home, together. Gym is a big chunk of time we don't have, aiming for about 40mins to and hour before tea in the evening, daily....

sticky
My little sister finally agreed to start coming to the gym with me. It's probably some NYR spur of the moment shit but I'm willing to humor her.
She's 17 years old and a femlet at 5'3," somewhere between skinnyfat and chubbyfat.
Should I put her on Smolov or maybe write up some kind of GVT-based routine for her?
>>35470437
pics first for scientific reasons
>>35470437
Just put her on SS. T-Rex mode actually looks good on women.
>>35470437
Tell her to read the sticky (srs), it'll debunk a lot of myths that she probably believes.
Also, SS is a great beginner routine regardless of gender, I'd recommend she follows it for atleast 6 months, maybe swap the powercleans with barbell rows as she's probably just gonna fuck herself up otherwise. Also, make sure to add pull-ups and dips.
If I wanted a goal body, I'd just ask what your Squat PR is.

If I wanted humor I'd just ask you about your one rep maxes.
Are we ever going to increase on our 2pl8 bench? Are we ever going to get over our bench dysmorphia?
>6'3, 200lbs
>feel like a weak bitch errytime binch 2pl8

>had a buddy over
>hit 2 plaet for 5 and 2.5 plaet for a single
felt good man
Unless you have been benching two plates for months then reaching two plates is quite a milestone for all lifters.
5'11 86kg
Max bench 5x5 57.5kg

/fit/, could you explain me the difference between 3x10 and 5x5. Is there 4x8?
>>35470033
3x10 = 10 repetitions x 3 sets
5x5 = 5 repetitions x 5 sets
there you go op
anyone have that graph that shows 7 - 9 reps = no gains
I've been lifting for several years now and never used gloves or wraps.
It's at the stage now where the soreness of my callouses is so bad that I stop some sets before completion, and I'm holding the bar/weight on my finger tips rather my hands.
So, what does /fit use, and why do you prefer them over the other?
>>35469871
Do you hold the bar in your fingers or palm for pulling movements?
Keep lifting faggot
my grip strength is shit too, i cant even diddly lmao3pl8 without hookgrip
I pretty much look like the guy in the pic, but with more muscle. We've got a couple months left of warm weather and swimming here in australia and i was wondering if i should cut first, then bulk, then cut again for december next year, or just bulk for 6 months then cut for 6 months? I'm probably gonna be doing it so half my time on each bulking or cutting cycle is on a Strength program and the other half is on a BB split. Which kinda diet plan should I do now? cut or bulk first? thanks guys
>>35469755
Same situation (and country, incidentally). I'm going with cutting now and then a lean bulk. Bulking now will just make the cut harder when I get to it. By cutting first, I'll stay more motivated ('cause I'll look better), I'll be able to monitor how much I'm bulking visually as well as with the scale, and I won't have much to cut for summer next year. Just how I'm approaching it.
>>35469802
desu i dont remember which month is the last of summer haha ( i think its january lol)
I think ill do 4 months of cut then 4 of bulk then 4 of cut but shit man this is my first time actually getting my diet in check, last time i tried to bulk i got sloppy and gave up out of laziness. this time ive been logging my food and stuff without trying to keep up to any specific macros, just to observe how drastically my diet needs to change - less fats, more protein and so forth. Really taking baby steps so i dont get...

I'm same situation and country too. I was planning on bulking through the summer, because it'd be useless to try to cut before the end of summer. Start cutting in June probably
Can a girl lose weight and still have big tits/butt?
Can a skinny girl get better/bigger tits/butt through exercise?
My gf lost 30kg and now her tits and butt are quite small. I don't mind too much but we recently had an argument where she complained about her small cup size and I said I thought it would be possible to achieve a little bit bigger breasts through exercise/lifting. She claims it's not possible, you either are lucky and get a killer body and then never get fat, or your body type kind of sucks your whole life.
Who is right?

>>35469728
your gf is, breasts are full of fat and genetics decide where fat is stored
>>35469728
>Can a girl lose weight and still have big tits/butt?
Depends on genetics, but they always lose something
>Can a skinny girl get better/bigger tits/butt through exercise?
You can definitely get a better ass lifting weights consistently, but don't expect massive pecs gains. Her tits will look better, but they won't grow much in size
>>35469728
She can get a bigger ass, but not tits. The tits will shrink the leaner she gets. Most fitness models have implants because of this.
How bad is alcohol for gains?
I have 4 pints and a shot of whiskey last night.
>>35469662
if this is serious...
1. having alcohol in your blood renders your prior training for like that whole week to be useless because you aren't going to repair the muscle fibers when your blood is full of fucking alcohol
2. it is poisonous
3. you can't train properly while its still in your system (nearly the rest of the week)
4. it dehydrates you and strips your body of minerals
5. its usually high in useless calories so your body feels gross
6. drinking is for basic bitches who, last...

Is stronglifts 5x5 any good or is it just a waste of time?
It's good but it might be a bit high intensity once you get up in weights
>>35469355
is doing 10x 8x 6x 5x even better ?
It's good but once the 5x5 stops progressing move to 3x5.
Most retards don't do this and then think the program is bad because they haven't read up on it.
