Talk to me about my weight and give me your opinions and so
Somebody better call up Captain Ahab cause I think I've found his big white whale
You are fat haha
>>42391014
definitely cut
What are things that, in your opinion, are overlooked or forgotten by most who lift?
I'll start:
-water: for overall health and good feels, helps with gains and pumps
-salt: great for pumps and gains, bad for heart. Balance and timing
-fiber ( both insoluble and soluble) good for heart health, helps nutrient absorption, digestive health in general, can help with GI/glucose levels/insulin sensitivity
-eccentric movement in lift: lower that shit slow and steady. Amazing for form, strength, MMC, and gains in general. Very easy to forget or half ass, chances are you haven't been doing this and you'll get a nice (memes aside) shock to the muscle in addition.
-bulk or cut: pick one. Lean bulk and recomp is a waste. You dont gain significantly without significant calorie surplus and you won't lose fat without significant deficit. Roids and noob gains temporarily change this but not for long. Roids long term still need to bulk and cut.
-Deload/rest/vacation weeks: for joint health and injury prevention. Plus you will decondition yourself to the same old stimulus and (are you ready memers) will shock the muscle and get some rebound gains on the week(s) back in gym.
-forced reps and negatives: yes ego lifting idiots give these a bad name but absolutely are essential to include from time to time for serious motherfucking strength gains
-stretching: works wonders for ROM, form, and MMC.
-training abs: not they are not made in the kitchen other than calorie surplus giving them gains and low Bf showing them. If you have no ab mass there is nothing to show. No squats are not enough. No planks aren't either. Train them hard any heavy like you do every single other skeletal muscle.
-changing order of lifts: usually do barbell bench before dumbbell? Switch that shit for a week or two. Isolation movements always come last though
I swear to god if you mention squats or diddlies I'll find you and eat you for the protein. We know, it's posted 10x/minute here.
Also:
-barbell row is inferior to machine or dumbbell 90% of the time.
-sleep: sticking to the same schedule every night is just as important as the amount
-dumbbell bench is better for size and strength though I do barbell because big 3 numbers and I like the occasional ego boost
-work your calves and hard as often as you do your biceps. About the same size muscle so they should be treated the same
-work unilaterally or side-independent more than not. E.g. do barbell less than dumbbell, helps with symmetry and balance. Try one handed assisted pull ups occasionally instead of regular pull ups
Also also:
-if you skip 1 gym sesh the guilt will make you skip more. Don't skip the first one. If you can't go 6x/week go 4x/week and don't skip unless you have multiple broken bones and there's a hurricane
- muscles probably aren't growing much past 48 hours after lifting (unless very new) so try to hit a muscle group at least twice a week. Once a week is basically wasting 5 days.
*****Steroids don't change any of these fundamental guidelines. They dont change how the body works, they just make it more efficient.
stalling is often a psychological issue. static holds with more weight - like unracking +50kg on your squat max and holding it without actually squatting it, or unracking more on your bench and simply holding it in the air. doing this allows your actual max to feel lighter
size DOES equal strength relative to yourself only. yes, someone may be smaller but stronger than you, but it is given fact that if you are bigger than your current self you will be stronger. therefore, you do need to be strong to be bigger
cheat reps are good
OHP stalling responds well to overload with push pressing. it also responds to high frequency (3 times/week)
supplementing tribulus will drive your libido through the roof
supplementing ashwagandha will increase athletic performance
supplementing zinc will increase test in those deficient in it
supplementing l arginine will give you diamond boners, colossal loads and more stamina
>only my right shin gets scraped when doing deadlifts
explain this shit
you're right-handed
>>42390863
i don't follow the logic
>>42390954
your right arm is stronger than the left one.
What's it like being truly enlightened, anons?
>db bench builds the chest better than bb bench
>strengthens stabilizers
>destroys imbalances that bb bench couldn't
>less chance of shoulder impingement due to more ROM and more freedom on where you can move the weights
If you're not a powerlifter, or are lifting for aesthetics, bb bench is USELESS
>>42390760
>>destroys imbalances that bb bench couldn't
Please tell me this is bait. I can't believe someone is actually this fucking dumb
>>42390791
>not knowing that most people typically have a dominant side which is slightly stronger than their non dominant side
>this side compensates slightly by doing a bit more work than the weaker side, causing a positive feedback loop of weakness
Don't post here until you've at least lifted for 3 years, DYEL.
I'd start doing these instead of bb bench for the extra ROM, but I don't want to deal with 110lb+ dumbbells in each hand. It seems way to easy to hurt yourself and difficult to get into a good starting position
>tfw aspie
>>42390688
/fit/ related? Nah. So shut your mouth before I smash your ugly face in faggot.
>>42390752
I said aspie, not ugly, you dumbfuck. Why do normalfags have low IQ?

Whats the best routine for a twink looking for a muscle daddy bf /fit/?
>>42390554
source? i need to fap
>>42390561
brad kalvo, benjamin riley
Honestly SS is perfect for twinks because of its lower body emphasis. Just keep your body fat low, as long as you don't eat at a surplus you won't have to worry about getting too big.
>SS+GOMAD
FUCK YOU /FIT/. I WANTED TO GET BIG, NOT TO BECOME A FUCKING TRAP

Nice
I learned to never trust this site after nearly dying from trying to grow crystals with pennies, bleach and ammonia.
Let's talk male beauty.
We have to accept that unlike women, it takes us a longer time to become better looking.
Women can transform from a 4 to a 10 within a matter of hours. All it takes is some blonde highlights, eyelash extesnions, eyebrow wax, some lip filler and either a makeup artist or a video tutorial on contouring.
>b-b-but I don't like fake women
>ew women that don't look natural are disgusting
Look we're not talking about a bimbo fetish, we're talking about to improve natural features.
Now men.
Ok we're gonna subtract the unchangable stuff like bone structure. There's stuff you can do now that'll pay off in 28 days time. If anyone wants to add to this list, I'd appreciate the help.
– Groom your eyebrows. Look at male models for insparation.
– Start growing through your beard. Trim it with a razor and if it's multi coloured, get some beard dye and learn how to use that shit.
– Tanning beds. Don't abuse them. 10 minutes every M/W/F will help you get some colour on that pale skin.
– Haircut. Don't grow your hair out long. It makes you look scruffy. A good fade with a quiff will improve anyones looks.
– Low bodyfat. You will also look bigger shredded than at more weight with the bloof. This will take time but a gaunt face will help impress women.

I bought an oil cleanser, exfoliant and a moisturiser for my skin. I've been using some cheap shit I got on my birthday and saw results hopefully this will be even better
Yo fuck man. I've been having a bout of brain fog for awhile now. I almost never exercise, I'm a college student, all I do is either fap, play games or study, I lead a Super NEET lifestyle but with studying in the mix. Does anyone else have this problem? Should I like start working out?
>>42390297
Do you take finasteride?
>>42390300
No? Why?
>>42390297
Bump
what food should i buy on amazon that i can bulk with thanks
milk
why the fuck are you buying food on amazon
peanut butter
If you could pick only one, would you pick rows or pull-ups/chins?
What a retarded question, there's no situation where I'd ever have to pick only one
That's like asking if i pick bench or ohp
cleans have gotten my back bigger than either of them ever did
>rowing machines are god tier
Is this true?
No, but you might as well if you're gonna do cardio.
>>42389653
yes, but all you faggots try and get a bicep pump out of it. It shocks me every time the erg is the topic, how little you guys know.
It works all the body, can be used for endurace or explosive movement, convenient, durable.
>>42389653
Yes rowing is god tier anyone who says otherwise can't row 2k
Yesterday was my second day at the gym. I'm doing fit's version of GreySkull LP.
Every fucking time, whenever I do an exercise and I gotta share the rack with some other guy, who is usually buffer than me, they'll ask me what muscles I'm trying to work today, and I'll tell them I'm following a program and they'll be like "oh you shouldn't follow a program" or "what kinda program is this? you should do that machine and that machine instead".
What the fuck do I tell these fucking assholes? I don't need your fucking help. This motherfucker was weird ass variation of OHP, with his head looking up the entire time, while I was doing the standard bring-the-bar-to-my-chest-and-back-up, and he was like "no you're doing it wrong".
Why do these retards think that just because they're buffer than me they gotta give advice?
I can tell youre quite a social butterfly
>>42389585
Do you have an image of the greyskull lp program you're doing? I'm about to start lifting too.
Just say "okay, alright" a lot and keep doing what you're doing
I just fapped. Gonna go work out later.
What are your thoughts on fapping before working out?
fapping right before workout is bad because of what hormones get released as you bust a nut but if you can get some rest before heading to gym it doesn't really matter unless you plan on doing PRs
>>42389495
just take a shower or you'll smell penis/cum
