How do you get out of a plateau, /fit/?
>20 years old
>Male
>5'8" (yeah I know, manlet, fuck off)
>164 lb
I did start out very weak; could barely bench 95 lbs and DL 1pl8. After 6 months of lifting, I can finally bench 1pl8 and DL 2pl8. I know this is still very weak by /fit/ standards but I have sadly hit a plateau and can't seem to lift any more. What am I doing wrong? Even if I add 2.5 lb to both sides, I fail to do more than 3 reps.
Lmao it's because you're a manlet
>>37073916
You need to eat more, you skinny shit, and train harder. We've all been there.
>>37073916
Eat more. Sleep better.
Hey /fit/ rate my setup
poor as shit but enough for me to get started lifting
>>37073876
Get a $40 flat bench from amazon and more weight.
>gloves
>>37073876
Bought the same few days ago.
Plan on getting a bench for full utilization of dumbbells.
>that guy who wears tanktops at the gym
>>37073870
Fuck you motherfucker
What is the proper gym etiquette? The house I's always lived in and inherited has weights and cardio machines in the basement, so I've never gone to a gym. Why do I always see things like "that fucking guy in basketball shorts?"

>That jelly no-delts dyel skinnyfat who can't wear tanks at the gym
Not that I held Elliot Hulse in high regard, but he did have some decent Q&A/workout vid on Strength Camp. That being said.......what in the actual fuck has his channel become? He's got the "We Wuz Kangz n Shit" going now (also the name of his new book and then this liberal cuckholdery and fem/trans videos. What the fuck happened?

Why do you care what he does with his life

Thanks Elliott!!

is this a picture of you
So I have a problem I don't know who else on here has it or if it's just me, it's mainly centered around guilt.
Every day I look at myself in the mirror I feel guilty for not having enough muscle, I always look skinny, and I feel guilty for that, for not doing enough. I'm a poorfag so all the workout I do is at home.
Every time I finish a workout I feel extremely guilty that I didn't keep on going, even though I'm exhausted, I feel bad for not giving it my all.
This is turning my life into a mess, I can't stand myself for being so...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
I should also mention that my exercise routine consists of doing reps until failure, taking a minute, then going again until failure for any given exercise.
>>37073651
Meditate. Everyday.
I also feel bad for not eating enough food sometimes, and feel disgusting for not being bigger. Every time I have to do something at work with my arms that requires picking something up, I always try to hide my biceps because they look so skinny. I've been working out for the past year so far, as well.
Why are my lower pecs not popping? I use the pec deck fly workouts and only my upper pecs show. What am I doing wrong/what workout is best?
Uh, pic please? How are we going to tell if your pecks are hanging like socks if we can't see them?
>>37073593
How's your diet?
>I feel sorry for the small guy in your GIF. Not funny.
>>37073607
Not home.
The bottom area of my nipples sag a bit while the top is firm
ever since i started no fap my appetite has been non-existent
not too rustled since im cutting, but still, shits weird
Same boat except I quit smoking ganja
Same boat except I quit drinking beer
Same boat except I quit lifting
>Be me
>Kinda fatty
>start to do some cardio and "lift"
>lose some weigth
>pic related
Should I keep losing weigth or bulk a little bit?
I mean, I would like to see my abs and all that, but I dont wanna look like an holocaust victim, because I think that I kinda look like that.
Cut some more and you light lose a bone
>>37073463
If there's no abs underneath then no amount of cutting will help you bring them our. Have you ever seen a very skinny person without abs? You're one of them.
>>37073659
bring them out*
Jason bloho:
>I train at a hardcore powerlifter gym

>It's a "bald man wears hat at the gym because he's insecure" episode

You cucks are too caught up with your anime shit to realize the only thing women care about are WALLET PERSONALITY and SOCIAL STATUS
>>37073180
>WALLET, PERSONALITY, SOCIAL STATUS
you mean FACE, FRAME, HEIGHT
>>37073180
Attractive (or big guy) = bonus to social status
We're not that far off from cave men psychologically
I'm not even going to mention the confidence and discipline gains
tldr you're the cuck you cuck
>>37073191
Lol nope!
/fit/ I am desperate for help at this point because my fucking nuts have been hurting for two straight months and I can't do anything about it.
>beginning of March
>be fapping in be one night
>for no discernable reason the gooch area behind my nuts hurts as I cum
>spend rest of the week with a sore perineum
>fast-forward two months
>chronic discomfort on the back of my scrotum sustaining itself
>have not gotten horny to anything
>actually feels uncomfortable to get aroused
>semen isn't sticky anymore
>normal bodily functions like ejaculation and urination do not hurt for some reason despite all this
I don't know what I did or what the fuck is wrong but I am mortally afraid of losing my ability to masturbate comfortably. What's worse is that I can't run to the doctor because I'm an Ameripoor with no health insurance.
Is there some sort of test I can perform on myself to determine what exactly is wrong? I've been feeling my nuts and I can't find any bumps
Seriously guys what if I can't cum anymore
Go to the doctor you mongoloid.

Is there a good reason to not do 3x8 pullups every single day?
>>37072669
Doing sets of at least 20 instead. If you can't do 20 pullups, fuck off because you are too fucking heavy/weak to ever be useful if you need to climb something or rescue yourself
>>37072690
>Implying pure upper body strength makes you a good climber

>Meant to be shoulder day
>Pissed as fuck
>Do shoulder, do bit of chest, biceps, tris, abs, legs body is in so much pain but somehow I manage to push through all of it
>Literally 3 hours of training
It was one of the most incredible experiences I've ever had
>>37072560
What made you so angry pal? Good job on the training choice, I do it too sometimes if I feel more energetic than usual.
>>37072560
>most incredible experience
Xdddd lol m8, havent done a handful of magic shrooms i see
>>37073050
This. Literally saw my entire lineage throughout time starting with an ancient humanoid. Shit was freaky
Except skull crushers, what is the best tricep isolation exercise?
>>37072436
Dumbbell kickbacks give me a great pump, especially when I hold the flex for a moment at the top, really keeping the tricep tight. My vote goes to them for isolation.
Also very partial to skullcrushers though.
>>37072436
This shit right here burns like a bitch:

EXTENDED Skull Crushers
So you go down to your forehead like normal, then you go down even further (in two short stages) until you can't reach down anymore, then pull back up in one motion
Anyone got an educated opinion on btn (push) presses?
Looks pretty cool and Klokov and others are doing it but dropping weight that close to your neck and behind your head…
To be clear, I'm not asking about seated versions of this exercise of similar variants where you are not bending your knees when catching the weight.
I do my BtN's like arnold. Low weight high rep.
I can OHP 80kg for 6-8, 8 on goodday.
But I just BtN with 40kg 20+ rep sets, highest ive ever gone was 65kg on btn, but they sort of felt counter-productive for the purpose of the lift, hence why I just stay low weight high rep.
>>37072468
Like pic related.
>>37072422
You need good shoulder mobility to do either. Better shoulder mobility for strict than push. You also need quite good ankle mobility for btn push presses. you've got to be able to stay very upright on the dip both for the initial drive and when lowering the bar to your shoulders.
If you've got that, they have some uses for training overhead stability, tri/mid delt strength and power.
