don't ego lift
lift what you actually can with the right form
always remember: proper form and time under tension are more important than the actual number of pounds/kg you lift

OP here
Vlad Koulikov is legit.
Sambo and Combat Sambo are not the same thing. Combat sambo resembles MMA to some extent. That being said, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this gym, no question.
I see PPL routines recommended a lot more often than before lately. Why has /fit/ changed it's mind?
Also: how into PPL?
>>42411983
I created my own PPL routine with an emphasis on 5x5 strong lifts for the first 1 or 2 exercises then various accessories based on what I feel was lacking for the week. Fucking great results, but I really know how to read my body.
A sound program incorporates considerations of volume, intensity, frequency and progression. If your program doesn't take any of these into account it is simply a bad program. Doing a random assortment of 'push', 'pull' and 'legs' exercises on specified days will not get you very far beyond the short term. You must first begin with a long term goal and then program backwards accordingly. What do you hope to achieve with a PPL routine? If it is to get a stronger bench or squat there are better ways to do that. If it is to achieve a certain level of hypertrophy there are better ways to do that. If it is to improve conditioning there are obviously better ways to do that too. A PPL routine is really no better than your average bodypart split routine.
PPL is very good for people with average genetics who weren't able to grow on a bro-split routine or grow on a full-body routine.
More days in the gym means more chances of getting enough decent quality volume compared to a full body, more frequency than a bro-split.
If the big lifts didn't automatically grow your traps, arms, calves, delts etc - then a PPL is for you.
If you get overall size everywhere from just doing full body, then just do full body, but you're one lucky son of a cunt if your traps actually grow from just deadlifts and ohp - they never grew a inch for me, not even when I'm OHPing 80kg and deadlifting 200kg. My traps only grew once I started doing stuff like Shrugs and Upright Rows on the PPL ONTOP of all those other compounds.
Hint: 100% natty

I don't have to guess. It's obvious you got it from not lifting and not being a fatass
>>42425308

You can't see his poorly hidden love handles?
Anyone here use creatine? If so does it work for you?
I've been using it for 4 months now, and it works for me. My muscles got bigger/harder. And I was able to increase my reps due to having more ATP available. I don't think it affected my strength, but the increased capacity for work has helped with my gains i think. It's not magic, but I like it.
I take 5mg a day. I just put it in my post-workout protein shake.
It didn't really help my friend, though. I think there's a genetic component to whether or not you'll notice the benefits.
Drink plenty of water.
>>42424288
Never worked for me, and I tried about 5 different brands, including that crea-alkyl-stuff. No big deal. I spent more money at the video arcade in those days.
>Ultraaaaaaa Commmmbbooooooo !

it works if your goal is to lose hair
Jaw/Chin thread.
Pic related is my problem and the cause for it.
I look ridiculous from the side (roman nose, no chin) while I look like your average italian model from the front (next post pic related).
There was a good thread on /fit/ with great advice how to fix it (surgery, implants etc.). Unfortunately none of the /fit/ archives work for me so I can't find the thread anymore. Anyone knows what exactly I should ask the doc for, for example the exact name of the surgery?
Any help appreciated.
>>42423985
Also, can I blame my parents for not speaking about this and pretend like it's normal?

I meet all the criteria, I also have slightly crooked teeth. I've seen various dentists allthrough my lifetime, how come they never told me about this?
Looks like I won't be training for 2 months /fit/.
Curlbar at the gym snapped in half and lmao1pl8 broke my foot.
What injures have you done for the gains /fit/?
None yet, but I injured my back while jumping from a 10m tower into the water at a public swimming pool. not the first time I did that, but probably the last.
patella tendonitis in both knees
medium grade tear in medial ligament in right knee
slipped disc in back
torn left pectoral
broken thumb from hookgrip
Not lifted heavy for a week because my lower back was hurting and aching. I was going to go back to compound shit on Tuesday, but my back still hurts (it doesn't ache or hurt when I sit, but if feels like its bruised if it bend my back or anything).
Its frustrating but I think i'll just keep on machines with complete back support until it feels completely better.
Anyone else here eat more lamb then chicken?
>Have a killer workout
>Hit a Squat PR of 158kg
>Demolish OHP, and chinups
>Reward myself with a fuck load of lamb, went kebab shop and bought nothing but gyro meat by its self.
not really. But congrats on your PR and good on you for rewarding your progress!
Not really sure if you can call gyro meat, lamb. Like you don't call a hot dog a pork chop. That said I'm just finishng up a semiboneless leg.
Lamb is fucking GOAT. Not sure if the English word lamb refers to both adult and baby sheep but where I live only sheeps under 1 year old can be sold as "lamb".
My favourite meat, so tender and tasty.
How to improve deadlift? I tried deloading prematurely to focus on form, but my form is starting to suffer again.
Eat
Add in lower back accessory work (Good Mornings, Hyperextension, etc)

>Brushing your teeth with baking soda
Wait does this really help?
I have normal colored teeth like most healthy people but i want them white, pic related is of course my ideal but i know its literally impossible without being as rich as Gucci is and getting some whitening expensive products or dentists, but would baking soda help me leave the normal a bit yellow teeth and get into more white territory?
No, it just damages your teeth and does not make them any whiter at all. The only thing that actually whitens your teeth is hydrogen peroxide.
>>42423499
>No, it just damages your teeth and does not make them any whiter at all
Thats only true if you use other shit with the baking soda, if you only use baking soda+water it will not do anything bad to your teeth, and it will make them more white
>>42423468

i have never used anything except a toothbrush and my teeth are white af
