Any bros got any ideas for surpassing a bench max plateau? Been doing this lift routine that's been pretty legit until, a six week work out. Do bench MWF.

Are egg yolks bad for you?
>>35055010
No, they're like a natural multivitamin. They contain all the required nutrients for you to grow into a nice healthy young chicken.
>>35055010
M-Muh high cholesterol.
Im not lifting for strength, I'm lifting 100% for aesthetics, I just want to look good. Are deadlifts necessary for this goal? I currently have bench press, squats, and OHP in my routine, I'm thinking of adding deadlifts, will they do any difference?
so true lmao
---
do SS+GOMAD
also read the sticky
Do your routine for a while and see if you like the way you look. If not, research what muscles deadlifts work and it thats what you need to work on then do them. /fit/ is mostly teenagers who have been lifting for under a year, you cant trust much here as facts.
>>35054989
There is no general standard for what is "aesthetic".
Lots of people who deadlift would be aesthetic in your opinion and lots of people who don't would be too.
In the end it comes down to whether or not you want to deadlift.
>wont be able to lift for 6 weeks because getting a complete nose job/nose overhaul
How do I speed up the healing process? And how do I not lose gainz?
Pic somewhat related; nose job, but not me because Im not a grill
>>35054930
There's really nothing you can or in particular should do. It's your fucking face man, just rest for 6 weeks, you won't lose that much in that time, don't be fucking paranoid.
>>35054930
Post your case OP
For some reason I prefer the left
H-hey /fit/. What c-can I do with these?
>>35054580
A lot if you're creative.
Don't expect much gains with those alone.
I can name a few Spanish dances from the top of my head.
>>35054580
You could kill somebody if you hit the person in the head with this
Hey
I moved to a new place and only got acces to a gym with dumbbells, smith machine, and barbells (not olympic ones). No squat racks.
Is there any huge disadvantage from using a smith machine for squats and OHP? My some exercises to counterbalance the disadvantages?
>>35054514
I'd rather do callisthenics than using a smith machine.
>>35054514
The main thing is that it's doesn't use stabilizer muscles but it can get the job done.
People on here will hate on it forever because it is inferior, but it's better than nothing.
You can supplement it with free weigh dumb bells like lunges, DB OHP, goblet squats, etc.
>>35054514
>Is there any huge disadvantage from using a smith machine for squats and OHP
Yes you can mess your shit up.Powerclean the barbell for ohp.Why are you going to a gym with no squat racks?
How legit is this?
I'm a skeleton and I've been on SS for 5 months, with little to no progress in terms of lifts or appearance. So I'd like to know if I've taken the wrong path.
Bù
/fit/
Do you work with dumbbells?
What's your routine?
>>35054404
I've done this for quite some time before hitting the gym.
In any case, DBs are very important for any type of routine.

What have you incorporated into your program to be more like him?
You are trying to be more like Batman, aren't you?
Gomad was part of my plan
>>35054427
Batman doesn't drink milk.

No. Because batman is a fictional god damn character you stupid fucking nerd
What's the best weight for a 5 feet and 10.8 inch tall male? Assuming one doesn't work out and doesn't want to start to, but wants to look good.
>wants a body that looks like it can do a large amount of physical work
>doesn't want to do any work
This ain't a gimmedat, gotta eat sleep and train for a few years in order to even get progress you can see in photos.
>>35054384
You can look good just by having an optimal weight and little muscle mass.
>>35054384
>, gotta eat sleep and train for a few years in order to even get progress you can see in photos.
wat
you should see visible progress within a couple of months, and look bretty decent after a year or so (to normie eyes at least)
what do you do before a heavy workout?
other than eat and drink a lot, of course
>>35054357
Intermitten fasting
>>35054383
crossfit ?
>>35054357
I usually foam roll or lacrosse ball about an hour before, prepare my intra workout, mix my preworkout and head to the gym. Usually I'll get to the gym and chat with people(my gym is old school and has a community and people are social), I'll shoot the shit so I don't have to when I start working.
Then i'll do prefiring and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization while drinking my preworkout, I usually listen to motivational stuff and start to drop in and get focused. Takes about 30 mins depending...

>yfw you can only really see you muscles when you flex
how do you emphasize your gains? I can't keep running around and flexing. I can cut more body fat, but I'm already pretty low
Build more muscle
>>35054282
I don't lift for hypertrophy, but my shoulders are broad and my posture is that of someone with a strong back and core, my neckline is decent, and with a sleeveless shirt on you can see my biceps and definitions in my tris and delts. So I don't know what to tell you. Lift more and reduce bodyfat, and stop worrying about other people's opinions. Strength in mind and body are valid goals. Appearance is secondary.
>>35054479
>Appearance is secondary.
I know, and thanks for the advice, but what about them bitches man
Hey /fit/, got a question about building arm muscle. I've got really weak wrists from years of falling on them combined with poor nutrition(next to zero calcium). What are some ways I can work out without having to use my wrist? I can barely pick up 5 lbs without leaving my arm from the elbow down sore.
>>35054265
You're picture is stupid and you should feel bad.
>>35054265
Thanks for posting that edit.
Thank you.
>>35054277
>you're
>your
your spelling is piss poor and you should feel bad.
In other news, I too have a weak wrist from a crash that broke my thumb. It didnt heal correctly, so the only pushups i can do are knuckle ones as they keep my wrist straight.
Ive actually found that wrist guards that you can get from walmart or some place shitty that kids have for skateboarding tend keep my wrists straight when doing curls. Give them a try, and...
