Yes I know I'm retarded, but I'm too obsessed with training to rehab.

Now I'm lifting again (1.5 months back and lifts are nearly where they were when I left) and my body feels so different. My balance, my flexibility, my mobility, my back... Every aspect of my body feels better and I have only yoga to thank. I don't think it'll have any notable short-term impact on my total going up, but I feel no more tightness, bulkiness, anything like that.
What yoga did you do OP. Heard only good things about it. Any specific routine or set of poses that you can do at home? Not that keen to do it with an instructor and other people.

I'm actually thinking of doing yoga. I've got a couple injuries (shoulder and knee mostly, and now a new toe injury) that won't go away. Been wondering if yoga would help them, maybe increased flexibility could help them not suck.
Also I just moved to a new city, don't know anybody here. Met some dudes but having a really hard time meeting girls. Hoping yoga would be a good place to meet healthy chicks.
Started going to hot yoga on off days 2-3x a week about a year ago. Started for "flexibility" & to hopefully help a prior knee injury.
Ended up continuing just for them mindfulness gains. I haven't been in a few months though :( Should probably start up again.

Aside from muh sodium why isn't this a great bulking meal for those who can't afford deli meats?

>deleted her contact off the phone
Goofball thats why you dont act such in a hurry to get the number, especially if shes at some routine spot like the gym
she's already fucking someone who's taller than you, better looking, and makes more money
soz bro. Reality is harsh.
Harsh.
Just harsh.

>Goofball thats why you dont act such in a hurry to get the number
What the fuck are you talking about faggot? You're supposed to number close less than 5 minutes of initially talking to her.

if you clenched that pose for a whole year you'd probably gain some muscle.

>women that lift
Why lift when a DYEL male will be bigger than you?
Babies and home baked cookies are better than big biceps.
>>35333197
did a woman outlift you today or something?
>>35333197
Cause women that lift are hot wtf are you gay?
Because women lifting accentuates their already best features.
What's wrong, OP? Did a woman do more and heavier squats than you today?
how do i build an aesthetic body if i do meme shit like SS or SL 5x5
>muah core strength
i dont care. All i want is aesthetics.
>>35333127
You don't becoming aesthetic isn't something that comes in 5 months faggot
>>35333151
Say that again?
You do SS and then cut aftwr instead of bulking
>it is that simple
routines matter a lot less than people think.
Alright guys serious question. I have bad insomnia and I can only sleep 2-3 hours a night. As a result I am not able to hit that sweet spot in the sleep cycle to recover properly. However after a couple hits of some weed I can pass out and sleep for a solid 6-7 hours. I'm not sure why it works like that but insomnia has always been a problem in my life and it's the only way I know to fix it without medication. My question is how does weed affect muscle growth? If I smoked a bowl before bed every night would I be helping or harming?
>>35332918
Smoking a bowl every night will have zero negative impact on your gains, lots of athletes and lifters smoke weed, it make actually help you if anything.
>>35332918
Weed fucks your sleep cycle up. I have been getting 8 hours of sleep the past year and smoke nightly. Wake up with extreme fatigue and perma bags under my eyes. Not saying anything bad, but just saying I feel like it hinders full healthy sleep senpai.
From what I've heard, weed causes you to not go into the deeper stages of sleep as much. Weed also tires you down in general whether you're sleeping or not. Atleast that's what I've experience. I usually smoke and sleep 10 hours and I'm fine. If you're having issues sleeping then I'd actually recommend it.

Is garlic bad for you in high amounts? Red pill me here.
Whenever I cook any kind of meat, I put fucking huge forkfuls of minced garlic on/in it. It's only preserved in its own juices, so no extra oils or anything. I was just curious if this is harmful to my health at all. Everything I can find only says Garlic is good for you and to be wary of acid reflux and shit.
You would probably vomit if you saw how much garlic I use.
it's only bad in high amounts if you have issues with heart burn/ulcers.
other than that it's a free for all.
>>35332729
>Using jars of minced garlic
Do yourself a favour, buy fresh garlic and get a garlic crusher. It tastes way better.
And garlic is fucking great, the only downside to it is that it makes you smell. Keeps vampires away though.

>Do yourself a favour, buy fresh garlic and get a garlic crusher. It tastes way better.
I would nigga but this shit is too convenient. I use way too much to crush it up every time, I'd give myself carpal tunnel. Thanks for the tip though.
>all friends are leaving town for winter break
>im staying
>tfw two weeks of full sleep, low-stress, bulking, no alcohol, and gym 6 times a week
my gains are gonna thank me
Unless you take roids, you should not workout 6 times a week mate, it will fuck you up. (unless its 3-4 days lifting and the rest days light cardio)
inb4 cardio will kill you meme
>>35332597
I usually do 5 times a week, gonna do 6 for the next two weeks. I do PPL, so usually do Push x2 Pull x2 and Legs once
>all friends coming home for winter break
>they want to hang out everyday
>keep sleeping in til 1 in the afternoon
