Why is /fit/ so obsessed with manchildren like Rich Piana, Zyzz, and Jason Blaha but rarely discusses actual elite strength athletes like pic related, who is not only one of the best in the world at what he does, but seems like a genuinely nice person?
I mean Pianoman wears makeup, for Christ's sake. What's wrong with you people?

>still eating high estrogen foods
/fit/, do you ever wonder why so many betas and nu males are popping up? Have you noticed younger girls growing bigger tits and fatter asses? That's because the food you eat is being pumped full of hormones and estrogenic compounds.
>If you dont know what estrogen is look it up
I cut out legumes, soy, dried fruit, tofu and a lot of other high estrogen foods that you can easily look up. ive been eating more cruciferous vegetables, greens, onions, garlic. Ive cut down my consumption of dairy, beef (I still enjoy a steak here and there) and so on. I started going to a farmers market and getting my eggs and poultry there and switched to non fat milk. Its been two months and I feel more healthy and energetic compared to how I used too and can finally diddy lmao4pl8. Obviously it would be hard to remove all the estrogenic food in your diet but just decreasing your intake makes a difference.
>>37806836
nonefat milk has no estrogen?
What changes have you noticed, bro?
>>37806850
It has some but considerably less than whole milk.
>did all this self improvements
>dick will always be 5 inches and skinny
i feel like killing myself
The solution is simple.
Since you can't make your cock bigger, just focus on making your butt huge.
Unlike the penis, the ass needs no surgery to get big.
Compensate for your small cock with a big butt. It's what I do.
Hit the gym and grow that posterior.

how does a phat ass even remotely compare to a great dick

>1. Biomechanics
Main movements: Shoulder Extension, Shoulder Adduction, Elbow Flexion, Scapular Downward Rotation, Scapular Depression, Scapular Adduction
Main movers: Lats, Teres Major, Biceps, Brachioradialis, Posterior Delts, Traps, Rhomboids
Secondary movers: Sternocostal Pec Major, Levator Scapulae & Pec Minor, Triceps (long head), Rotator Cuff, Brachialis
Primary Grip: Flexor Digitorums, Flexor Pollicis, Adductor Pollicis, Opponens Pollicis
>Lats
The largest, strongest, and most important muscle for the pullup/chinup.
The Latissimus Dorsi are involved in all of the movements - shoulder extension (pulls the humerus down, bringing the elbow close to the body in the sagittal plane of motion), shoulder adduction (bringing the humerus close to the body in the frontal plane of motion), elbow flexion (through the passive tendon action of the biceps, more info below), and the scapular part of the movement (depression, adduction, and downward rotation).
>Teres Major
Helps perform shoulder extension and adduction. Both the Teres Major and the Latissimus Dorsi have virtually the same strength of pull for both extension and adduction, regardless of whether the bar is closer to the coronal or frontal plane.
>Posterior Delts
Helps perform shoulder extension, but is weaker for shoulder adduction. This means that closer grip widths are better for the posterior delts than wider grip widths (more on this later).
>>37805873
>Biceps
Performs elbow flexion, along with the brachioradialis and brachialis. It’s stronger when the forearm is supinated (more on this below).
Due to being a two-joint muscle, the biceps brachii also acts as a “passive tendon” – transferring some of the shoulder extension force into elbow flexion. Even though shoulder extension lengthens the biceps, it has a much larger moment arm on the elbow joint. So when both shoulder extension and elbow flexion occur, the biceps shorten in length during the contraction, instead of just working isometrically. Furthermore, this “lengthening” at one of the attachments pulls the other attachment, in what we call “passive tendon action”, a very special characteristic of two-joint muscles (more info here http://fitsticky.com/articles/squats-hamstrings-lombard-paradox ).
This means that the biceps is able to transfer shoulder extension force into elbow flexion during the chinup/pullup. To be even simpler about it, this means the Lats and other shoulder extensors also help the “curling” part of the chinup/pullup, even though they have no direct attachments crossing the elbow joint.
>Brachioradialis
Performs elbow flexion, along with the biceps and the brachialis. It’s stronger when the forearm is in a neutral position, aka hammer grip (more on this below).
>Sternocostal Pec Major
Helps with both shoulder adduction and shoulder extension. Both the middle and inferior fibres of the pec major are very strong adductors, while the inferior fibres are moderate extensors (the closer to the coronal plane, the stronger depressor moment arm). Thus, wider grips and/or behind-the-neck pullups work your chest a lot more than closegrip.
>Brachialis
Helps with elbow flexion, along with the biceps and brachioradialis. However, they’re more activated during isometric elbow flexion, with the biceps and brachioradialis being more important during the dynamic elbow flexion of the chinup and pullup.
why are you reposting this lol
>>37805873
>Rhomboids
Perform scapular adduction (retraction) and downward rotation.
>Traps
Perform scapular adduction (retraction) and depression. The most active fibres are the Lower and Middle Traps.
What’s interesting here is the apparent paradox of the traps function – they are primary movers of the scapulae in exercises that are almost the complete opposite, the overhead press (where the scapulae rotate upwards) and the chinup/pullup (where the scapulae rotate downwards). So how can the exact same muscle fibres be primary movers in such opposite movements? To understand this apparent “paradox”, we have to look at the bigger picture, and also understand that the traps attach at the spine of the scapulae, so their control over the inferior angle of the scapulae depends on what other muscles are working with them.
During the OHP, the traps don’t perform depression because there’s no active pulling from the rhomboids. As the traps’ only scapular attachment is at the top, and they pull in and down, the scapulae are free to rotate upwards (the tops are pulled together and down by the traps, so the bottoms are free to rotate out to the sides), without causing scapular depression. This upward rotation is also helped by the serratus anterior, which pulls the inferior angle of the scapulae out laterally.
During the chinup/pullup, the traps perform depression because the rhomboids are also active. The rhomboids, which have attachments at the bottom of the scapulae, pull their inferior angles in (downward rotation). This means that, when the traps pull the top of the scapulae in and down, the bottoms of the scapulae are not free to rotate out anymore – as they’re also being pulled in by the rhomboids.
This synergistic relation with the rhomboids changes the trapezius function from upward rotation to depression. Meaning that the traps are primary movers in completely opposite movements, the vertical presses and the vertical pulls.

What is normie's definition of /fit/?
/fit/izens know that anybody with over 8% bf and below 200lb and 6ft are not fit.
but what is the normie standard?
>>37805463
Depends on where you live, but here in alaska people have been calling me "lean" since 20% bodyfat (actual 20% not what literally every fat fuck thinks 20% is)
I have been called a "big guy" "moose" amd "superman" all unironically (i know, i thought it was satirical at first too) after 6 months noob gains.
>>37805463
I get called jacked ripped shredded big guy etc. One girl told me I looked photoshopped.
/fit/ is usually kind when I post in CBT but I get the odd skelly comment.

fuck me /fit/, I was finally on my way out of Auschwitz. And the one food which perfectly addressed all my needs is full of foodborne illness. Any good alternatives? Maybe I need to start eating a dozen eggs a day.

Why would you drink unpasteurized milk? You're actually an inept retard.

It actually tastes a lot better. It has a frothy and creamy taste. Pasteurized milk tastes like bleach to me now.
Post your current back and critique others on theirs

How does one get a social life in their mid-late 20s?
>>37793460
Go out
Make buddies with common interests at work or school. Then ask if theyd like to go and do said activities together.
Social life doesn't exist. People shift interests constantly, friendship only exist in childhood then people go for money or sex.

http://fitsticky.com/how-to/
Here's my current routine (only got dumbbells, pull up bar and a bench)
Workout A
2x4, 2x8 Shoulder Press
2x4, 2x8 Weighted Chin Ups
3x6 Goblet Squat
4x8 Bicep Curls
Workout B
2x4, 2x8 Bench Press
2x4, 2x8 One Handed Rows
3x6 Lunges
4x8 Skullcrushers
AxBxAxx
BxAxBxx
As you can see I work my legs 3 times a week. Should I increase the volume maybe or would that be a bad idea? Also, is there a difference if instead of 1 DB Goblet Squat I do 2 DB on my shoulders Front Squat? Generally I'm pretty satisfied with everything, but I'm still trying to figure out the legs part in this routine, so halp pls
A (heavier):
btn press 5x3
squat 5x3
curls 3x6
B (lighter):
Bench 3x5
muscle snatch 3x5
power cleans 3x5
A2 (lighter):
btn press 3x5
squat 3x5 (narrower stance, bit of a pause)
curls 2x10
B2 (heavier)
Bench 5x3
snatch high pulls 5x2
power cleans 5x2
all sets ramping. every 4th week deload by either cutting weight or volume by 33%
Why is SS, Reg Parks and GLSP better than SL 5x5 and ICF?
