Has anyone else here fallen for the "cardio is bad" meme?
I can unironically say that cardio has more of a health benefit than lifting ever has. It's actually pretty fun and feels nice too, I thoroughly enjoy it
>getting fit is about being healthy
This is gonna need to stop
>>37383767
Well meme'd friend.
HITT feels gr8 m8
a buddy of mine that's like 9% bodyfat told me that once you get lean, it's pretty hard to fuck it up unless you completely stop going to the gym and disregarding diet completely. He said the hardest part of getting lean is doing it for the first time, after that it's easy.
Can anyone confirm? Pic unrelated
no one?
>>37383643
Jesus Christ stop making up excuses and just train and eat healthy for fucks sake. It's not that hard
>>37383849
lol I'm cutting right now bud I just wanted to know if it's easier to stay lean once you've been there
I see here you put "lifting" as a special skill. Care to elaborate as to how that would help us here?

Hey guys, I have had some shoulder issues and I believe it all has stemmed from bad posture. So I decided I would work on my deadlift form again. I have been doing corrective deadlifts and I think I have finally started to get them down. I am trying to keep a complete neutral spine and it is tough to do but im proud of my progress. Here is today's video, just hit 95lbs.
Let me know what you think. Thanks much.

The movement and posture look good, but are "corrective deadlifts" some kind of variant I've never heard of? Why on earth do you start with the bar from the top?
>>37383644
The reasoning is so I can que myself to have great posture from the Top, like chest up shoulders down and back and all of that and start into the movement. It wont permantely be like this, but since I am not at a plate yet I figured I would continue this way. Another reason is because the 25's are so small that its further into the ground, and its just more convenient to get it from a rack and then go into the movement, but they arent rack pulls because its just how i grab it out of the rack. Also thank you for the advice
>>37383993
Better get used to pulling them from the floor anyway. If the plates are too small you can put a couple of plates under them to bring the bar up. Is what I used to do.
Also might not wanna pull these for reps of 10 once you get the form right (and it looks right enough). You could probably pull 1 plate easily for 5 reps or more. Trust me, I started off doing every compound for 10-rep sets (muh hypertrophy!) and later realized how much friggin' time I had been wasting. I started reaaaal low on the deads...

I have:
Squat Rack (pic related), FID Bench, Lat Pull Down, Olympic EZ Curl Bar, Olympic 7ft 45lb bar, Standard Dumbbell Handles, Olympic Weights, and Standard Weights
ITT: post your home gym, swap exercises that can be done with minimal equipment, etc.
My question is, whenever my cable goes out on my lat pull down, where do I buy another one? Is there a company that does custom length, coated cables? I have no idea what brand the lat pull down is, as I bought it from someone off CL.
The bench I have with it.
I have similar to you OP/
Squat rack similar to yours but has lat pulldown and pec fly station built into the back/top of it.
olympic bar
iron weights (2x45, 4x35, 2x25, 2x10, 4x5, 2x2.5)
adjustable dumbbells that go up to 105 lbs
gymnastic rings to do dips/pullups from
bench
ab roller
I can hit every exercise i need which is nice now that i just got the dumbbells
>>37383457
Where can I get replacement cables and not pay a fortune?
What would you do if you had 3 months to get in the absolute best shape of your life?
You're starting off in decent shape and you're not going to use roids.
Step 1: find heavy ass weights
Step 2: lift heavy ass weights.
Repeat steps X 3 months
What a vague topic. Everyone has 3 months and more to get jacked. Next time specify that it's 3 months with no other obligations, unlimited free time and access to the best foods and possibly supplements, no worries except solid training.
SS + Gomad.

Wow dude that's fucking gay as shit.
Anyway, my thing is that every once in a while I'll develop a crush on another male at the gym.
I'm relatively good looking, in decent shape (working out for like a year), have a girlfriend, high paying job, and normal friends. None of them would ever know.
I'm afraid of the day when it happens and if he starts talking to me. I'll blush so obviously it's going to be gay as fuck senpai.

I go to the bathroom every 10 minutes while in the gym to mire myself in the mirror and fix my hair.

Anyone ever tried carb cycling while bulking? I have done it while cutting and it works awesome, but i am interested in knowing if it works the other way as well? any opinions?
>>37382857
I've also done it for cutting and don't see a reason why it wouldn't work for bulking. The only downside is eating all that food that tastes like sand. Bulking is supposed to be the "funnier times"
>>37382857
how do you do it ?
why is it useful for cutting?
>>37382948
google scooby carb cycling and read it up.
Basically what it does is that by cutting carbs your body is using fat cells as energy(why low carb diets work). Body gets used to that soon though so you have to load up on carbs every few days
