I'm stronger on deads witb bare handed mixed grip than normal overhand grip with straps. Do you think that this will cause muscle imbalances in my back? Also I do 5x5 on deads and I'm considering to change them up and do partial deadlifts or rack pulls instead, to emphasize on back muscles and not glutes, hams and hips.
Not sure, I do double overhand (proper grip) because I'd rather not increase the chance of tearing a bicep. To me, double overhand is like a high bar, full depth squat - it's more difficult than some powerlifting bastardization, but the risk of injury is much lower and it's far, far more impressive to do a lift the proper way. Plus double overhand passes over to cleans.

He's too lean to be a powerlardfter, try again fatboy
Sup /fit/ I'm relatively new to fitness and im looking for some advice/reassurance for my routine. I was abiding by one that was kind of retarded because it was clearly overworking my biceps. I noticed this due to the noticeable growth in my forearms and triceps but little in my biceps. If it helps to know, I'm a relatively skinny guy but have put on noticeable mass, and noticed some surprisingly good definition with the retarded routine. Is the new routine an experienced lifter friend of mine helped me out with decent at least? And sorry if even the new routine seems stupid, as a reminder this is all very new to me
Too much arm work. You can bring it down to four days a week and get rid of the arm day. Do more legs throughout the week.
>>42337945
It's just suboptimal. Instead of chest + arms/legs/back+arms/x/shoulders + arms/legs/X, you can do instead ULUxLUx
Look into N-suns 5 day program or PHAT

NO
FUCK
OFF
Alcohol is the gains killer. If you over-indulge you will NEVER make it.
>>42337940
No one will argue against this, OP.
>>42337975
How bad is moderate consumption?
>>42337940
agreed. I cut of contact with many of my "friends" because all they do is drink and get mad when I "act like I'm better than them" for refusing to get drunk every week.
>mfw I see them again, and they all gained weight and look depressed, while i've gotten leaner and more happy
I'll contribute a couple
This is for all you stupid fucking trolls and haters online, saying mean and hurtful things about weighted dips. Well guess what, they roll harder than you, dipshits. You don't know fucking anything about this exercise, idiots. Quite frankly I think you're just jealous ass haters, because you couldn't even pull off one rep. You couldn't even dip if your lives depended on it, because you know what? It's class. And class is for men and swag is for boys. But you wouldn't know shit about that, fucking haters. This exercise is what cool people do, and you can't figure it out. You sit there online on your fucking websites and state bullshit about it, but guess what? It's just an exercise, and you're not cool enough to do it. So next time think before you do "trolling". I emplore you to do a little thinking if that's even possible for you. To think before you do fucking hating on dips. They're just an exercise, and you're just a stupid swag idiot. You think swag is so cool, but guess what? It's just for boys, and class is for men. This is class. That's all i got to say to you stupid ass haters and bullshit bully trolls. You don't know shit, you don't know lifting, you don't know anything about this world if you keep saying bullshit jokes. I know you're just trying to be stupid and ass funny but it's not fucking funny. Get the fuck offline if you're gonna keep saying this bullshit, keep spamming it out of your stupid ass keyboards, that probably aren't even mechanical. Listen, idiots, you don't know shit. You stupid swag, you don't know shit and I dare you to say one more fucking joke and I'll slit your throat neck. Anyway, that's it haters. See ya later, fucking idiots.

One for the daily "Can lifting make up for being Indian?" thread:
i am indian and let me tell you, being indian is actually a great thing. we have beautiful people and we have ugly people. just like any race. I for 1 am a great person, have great friends, and i take care of every one that is in my life and i am glad to do it, and for that i have people that love me around me. also, indian parents are one of the best parents you can have. sometimes they can be really strict, but they will take care of you no matter what, and they will buy you what ever it is that you need. as long as your not a selfish ****head. Also, we all have great jobs, lots of money and a family that we all love and take care off. suck my dick op suck my dick.

One time I was buyin some shoes in downtown and I saw Jeff Seid walking his dog. I asked for a picture, but as I was pulling out my phone he handed me a little plastic bag and said "pick that shit up." I looked down and saw that his dog shit right next to me, and being confused I just picked it up so someone else wouldnt step on it. He grabbed it and threw it on my brand new Js, and said "I dont take pictures with shit-shoe'd people, faggot" and walked away.

How do I lift with a torn callus?
pls
>>42337745
If its bleeding I'll put a bit of gauze on and tape the shit out of it.
What's your question? It hurts. Deal with it or don't.
>>42338303
Should i wait for it to completely heal or should I just continue lifting
Okay, this isn't really a question about getting fit, but about putting on pure weight (fat). What would be considered the safest amount to gain in a short period of time?
I'm conducting an experiment on myself and I would prefer if I didn't die.

hello friends! ok so i need vitamins and mineral suppliment but not walmart crap thats all garbage filler and unisable by the body, what are some of the top quality suppliments that i can get? what reccomendations would you guys give about vitamins?
vitamins from "global healing center" are the best in my experince.
what kind of minerals are reccomended to sup if im restarting weight training?
Hey guys, so I've been training for a little more than a year now and for the last half year I've been doing:
Mo, Th, Su: Rest
Tu, Fr: Push
We, Sa: Pull
But I'm not sure if recovery is good enough with this, I'm also kind of stalling on some lifts. I've been thinking about switching to a 3 or 5 day split.
A 5 day split sounds great because you can focus on one part and wreck it completely, but is it really enough to hit chest/shoulders/arms just once a week? Does this work for gaining mass?
Or would it be better to hit each muscle every 4-5 days, thus using a 3 day split?
The two most common 5-day splits are brosplits and PHAT. On both, you actually are hitting your muscles twice per week, you're just FOCUSING separately.
One brosplit is
>back & tris (you read that right)
>chest & bis
>legs & shoulders
>abs & arms
>chest & back
You're shoulders get hit nearly every day, but only once directly. Your arm work probably touches torso as well, and vice versa.
PHAT is a lot more promising for a natty. Brosplitting is hard when you're not on gear.
>>42337357
Thanks mate I'll look into PHAT and prob brosplit too, gotta try what works out best.
>>42337357
>Legs
>Twice
Did you fail elementary school math?
>>42337461
Brosplit is a waste of time. If you want to train 5-6 x week with 2x week frequency per body part either do PHAT or PPLPPLx, both are great. There's also N-suns which has a ULULUxx and a ULULULx version, it will kick your butt

im not fat, but my nipples are so fat they make me look fatter than i am
before i take my shirt off, i flick my nipple to make it harden and shrink or even just pore cold water on it so it goes back to normal size
how do i stop this
Same, i think it has something to do with estrogen levels and genetical shit.
I'd just cut my nipples off, don't need them
Gynecomastia. Result of high estrogen levels.
