I reached 2pl8 deadlift today.
The weight wasn't a big problem but my grip really failed with a normal hook grip. Even though I dried my hands and the bar before my set I'd still get really sweaty and shitty grip at 4-5 reps.
I was thinking I might have to switch grips when I reached 2pl8, so what's the better option?
Switch grip
Getting straps
Liquid chalk (my gym doesn't allow normal chalk)
mixed grip and chalk

>grip failing from 225
You're not going to make it
>>34893477
Mixed grip.
I use double overhand (different from hook) until 315 when I switch to mixed grip, at 450 I add chalk and 5 plate I add a belt.
Basically don't be a pussy, use mix grip. You don't beed chalk until your heavy. Also do more rows and pull ups and deads to increase that grip.

Do you like big or dyel with your shirt on /fit/?
I wouldn't say "big", but shapely, as in defined arms, shoulders, traps, glutes etc, but still far from what I consider big
>>34893286
look*
i look like shit because i'm in the middle of cutting, having lost size and still having man handles, but then again i always was pretty dyel
What's your pre-workout of choice fit? I really liked muscle marinade till they banned it now I have to find an alternative.
>>34893227
I like food and maybe a cup of coffee
400g caffeine
Never taken pre-workout, always went with a cup of coffee, is it really worth it ?
I recall seeing somewhere a study that confirmed listening to music while exercising reduces perceived pain and lets you exert more effort.
What I'm wondering is what kind of music should you listen to while liftan,
1) music that makes you angry, that's heavy, fucked up sounding, death metal/drill rap etc because it makes you angry and blind to pain
Or
2) music that you really get into the groove of, that you subjectively enjoy, whether it be jazz, Cuban salsa, opera, etc, basically music you get pleasure from, that makes you feel good, release...

I would suggest no music or no angry music.
At best something instrumental and chilled.
I find when handling heavier weights form needs to be really good and I need to focus.
Angry music helps me beast through and pleasurable music can make me distracted because I'm enjoying the song.
Also can become used to going for a PR's with certain songs.
if you're listening to music that makes you angry, then you really are getting into the groove and subjectively enjoying it. In other words, if 1 is true then also 2 is true.
that's my opinion on music tho it has nothing to do with your central question
>>34893228
>muh focus
guaranteed you squat less than 4 plate, or maybe even 3
Is he alpha as fuck /fit/?
Close.

He has potential, he's just been given bad intel. This is usually the case.

I'm a planet.
A very unhealthy planet.
I've had a tough life and my only escape was food and binge eating my way to oblivion.
Decided to get my shit together, went to a shrink, changed my diet and very recently started exercising.
Got my ass to the gym. Today was my second day.
Guy near by (pungent smelly fucker) stared at me the whole time - look of disgust on his face.
Ignored him and did my workout. But I guess I'm hurt and angry.
He sat close to me, there were bikes he could go to all over the place where he wouldn't...

>He sat close to me, there were bikes he could go to all over the place where he wouldn't have to look at me if that was so displeasing to him.
What the hell??
Also OP. I have two friends, one very skinny and one fatty. Both quit gym because they were both paranoid that people kept looking at them. This is just you guys being too nervous. Most people at gyms only care about looking at themselves. Maybe you should too. Focus on your workout and everything will be fine.

The world is full of strange fucks who don't care to help themselves, fit and fat.
>>34892770
Call him out for it, 90% of people don't like confrontation, if he insults you just ignore him after.
Keep doing cardio.

High level athletes who routinely push their bodies through execise and drugs till they achieve superhuman physical ability die early.
This is out of the ordinary...how?
Zyzz died from a heart attack and he did fuck all except gear up and camwhore.
40+ year old lifters die the same way.
Top powerlifters are always a cheeseburger away from keeling over.
>>34892722
There's plenty of good powerlifters still around in their 50s and 60s though.
how to lose stomach weight?
too lazy to use google
what exercises, diet, etc
abs, arms and legs are all toned/k, stomach lets me down

3*f fork putdowns

Who /running/ here?
>that great feel after an evening run in the dark
Come feel good feels with me brehs
Long runs at twilight are the best bruh. You don't even need to listen to music since it will look so nice out and that will be enough to keep you interested.
>>34892548
>tfw black
I wanna run in the dark but being killed scares me.
>tfw breaking an old record by just a few seconds when you weren't even aiming to
My 10km time is just a few seconds off finally being under 50min, my 5km time is slowly but surely reaching 20min. Who else here finds setting a new running pr infinitely more satisfying than a squat/bench/dead pr?
>tfw your shithole country is way to dangerous to run between 7pm~8am on the streets
i miss Germany, running from 5~7am was GOAT, and the cold was quite nice. In Brasil all i get is mugged
Do i get skinnier to give my face better aesthetics or do i bulk up?
I'll post this and one more picture. Again, skinnier or bigger?
>>34892136
its very rarer for more fat to give you better aesthetics. You'll need to bulk to build up your body, body then cut to make it look decent, since your face doesn't have much muscle, you can only really help it by cutting
What does 'making it' mean to you /fit/?
Were all going to make it, right?
>fat
>>34892072
The moment I see myself in the mirror and think "this is was I was working out for", and a few seconds later, I feel someone hugging me from behind, I turn around and there she is... the love of my life. I'll hold her and know that I've made it.
