as opposed to, what, cleaning it off the floor? reverse curling it from the bench? I always press from the squat rack because squats and press start from the same height
Hello /fit/
I hear girls should wear weight lifting belts when doing squats and deadlifts and such to take the work away from the core and thus not thicken the waist. Is this true? These things are kind of expensive so I don't want to get one if it's not gonna do anything but if it does, that would be great, getting a square torso is a big fear for me
>>35009274
>Is this true?
No.

That's the dumbest thing I've read on here in a while.
>>35009282
I'd be more relieved if the very first girl he posted wasn't square even when posing at an angle and being a skelly
>>35009289
Hey it makes sense at least
Better than manlet threads

I went to the site, but tl;dr...
I guess I'll just read it then...
Since /fit is full of fucking weird cunts, you're bound to have some superstitions. So let's post them.
I always head for the water fountain when I enter the gym and I also check my shoulders out when doing cable reverse flies
>>35009108
I never put my stuff in a locker that doesnt have a 7 at the end of it.
I only use lockers with repeating digits.
>>35009191
like these?

Hey /fit/ what is this on my arm?
I've had it for a couple years and it's slowly spread, you're seeing a few years of scratching and scarring damage.
>>35009024

I really don't know where else to put this. How do I deal with fucking bedbugs?
I've done what google tells me to do, but they keep coming back. Washing and double bagging clothes, searching for them, just about anything that pops up on google.
Bed Bug heat treatment is expensive as hell, but seems to be one of the few things that work. I live in a small two bedroom apartment. Any suggestions on a safe and cheap way to raise the temperature in the apartment high enough to kill all bedbugs? And if safe is asking too much, I'll just take cheap.
Please...

Throw away mattress
buy new one
>>35009022
I did that, cleaned the apartment, and cleaned/dryed all clothes in the apartment, double bagging in the process.
I slept on the couch while saving up for a new mattress, and they reappeared.
I had 'em before when I was flatting in uni. We got pest control guy to put down some shit and also got new mattresses, sheets, pillows etc and drycleaned all our clothes. It was a fucking pain in the arse though.
Can doing pull ups or just hanging off of whatever improve your posture?
>>35008933
Pull-ups force your shoulders into internal rotation or something gay like that and give you rolled forward shoulder.
Or something like that idk I'm not a doctor
>>35008952
At least you tried.
>>35008933
It helped with mine - however you won't notice as much of a difference unless you do over-hand pull ups. Forces you to actually use your back muscles more than your biceps. Also, go all the way the fuck down and up. None of those pissy half-curl looking things. Only morons do these and brag about how many they can do.
No money , no face.
Why lift , when you can score someone out of your league just by good personality?
Because then you're just the funny guy that she likes hanging out with and feels obliged to fuck? Personally i want a girl to feel a deep evolutionary compulsion to mate with me
Because I enjoy lifting.

Hey,how do you motivate yourself to start doing something?I can see myself getting a bit fatter,not like really fat,but chubby.And I`m too weak to start doing something.
You're never too weak to start doing something. Like, 6 months ago I could barely do a couple pushups on my knees but now I can bang out like 50 on my toes, and can do multiple diamond pushups.
Nothing's impossible, bro.
What are your specific goals? Just getting skinny or do you want to start lifting? I can recommend some stuff for starting out, it's really helpful if you have an actual plan and don't just run into the gym and do shit for 5 minutes then get bored and leave like I used to.
>>35008589
I used to be in a really good shape,but then i started slacking,going out on fridays and stuff like that.Well I`d like to be kinda skinny,with muscles,i guess that`s called ripped?:D
>>35008572
Just get up off of your ass and fucking do it. Stop looking for motivation, because you'll never have as much as you want.
JUST

What is the disparity between your high bar 1RM and your low bar 1RM?
I can high bar 175 lb, and I don't do squat-mornings but I'd guess around 320 lb.
i think youre underestimating the difficulty of lowbar squats (srs), i started front squatting seriously 2 weeks ago and ive hit 175 for 1, and backsquat 255 for 5 which is about 285 1rm. granted front squats and high bar arent exactly the same, the difficulty and muscle activation are similar.
totally depends on anthropometry, specifically femur and torso length. The shorter your torso, the more you benefit from low bar relative to high bar. A lot of guys with short legs won't get much at all out of the position because their torsos are longer and lengthen the moment arm
>>35008469
front and high bar arent even remotely the same. front squat max is usually 80% of high bar max
