The only things in your pic that are worth the money are the creatine and possibly the zma

what's the point of lifting when my parents keep talking about kicking me out for being a NEET?
It doesn't even matter how much i increase my bench press when ill be homeless unless i find a job. and id ont want to work, i don't want to be just another slave.
You're already a slave to the gym. Just get a fucking job and stop being a useless leech.
>>42385885
i dont want to be a slave, man. i got big plans that people like u cant appreciate.
>>42385892
Fuck off and die then, freeloader.
How do i tell my gf she needs to do squats without pissing her off
Start fapping to girls squatting and make sure she sees it/find out that you are doing it.
>>42385917
What if that makes her resent it?
Ask if she has any fitness goals. Does she lift?
You can also just be forward with her. You can say something like, "honey, I love you, and I think you should start working out with me. I've got a great routine for you to try" and then make a routine for her that has her squatting, hip thrusting, etc.

Does anyone else do this? It feels like a cheat code
Just suck a dick.
Oikos Triple Zero Vanilla + 1/2 a scoop of whey or casein + a cookie = ~250 cals (28 g protein, 20 g carbs, 6 - 7 g of fat) and it tastes fucking delicious. I used that combo so much when I was getting cravings on my cut. The fiber from the yogurt helps too.
Scooby made a video on it right? if it tastes good spit it out. Its legit.
Wouldn't this routine make more sense if it was PLPx? Natties always bitch about lacking shoulder development, but they don't realize their shoulders never get a proper rest day to recover. Am I just retarded? Has this thought ever crossed anyones mind?
I do shoulders on leg day so I get that extra test boost once I hit legs heavy. My delts are huge
>>42384720
Are you natty?
Pls post delts
>>42384720
>believing the training hormones meme
It only spikes during exercise and shortly thereafter. It's not enough to actually promote any extra growth.
To get big shoulders you need to hit your middle and rear deltoid. The front is always overdeveloped in natural lifters. You can do a lot of raises without overtraining. Do controlled, high rep and make sure you're getting a good burn.
Don't expect your shoulders to ever be amazing as a natural litter, though.
Why does smoking make men seem cooler, but makes women look disgusting and unfeminine?
>>42384318
why does make up make women pretty but makes men looks like gay ass faggots?
Because they were marketed at men for so long.
also not giving a fuck can seem masculine I guess
why is it acceptable to feed the birds but not if they're seagulls?
What do you think of the alberto nunez style lateral raise?
have you tried them?
i find they hit the lateral delts way harder than a normal or even cable lateral raise.
it resembles an upright row, but instead of the elbows flaring up they are kept in the exact same plane as the shoulder joint

uh what that's a one arm upright row

did you watch the video of explanation?
Been lifting for a month, I know I should really expect any gains, but I got some! A beer belly. Literally no progress, but I got a beer belly. I don't know how the fuck that's possible because I was skinny and I actually didn't increase my calorie intake, I actually just cut out sugar and most carbs and instead eat nothing but eggs, peanut butter just by the spoonful, chicken, fish and vegtables.
And guess what else? I'm actually LESS strong now. I was insanely weak to begin with (turbo manlet at 5'6" too) I was putting 40 lbs (yes, really that little) on each side of the barbell for a total of 80, doing about 7-10 reps. Just came back after two rest days feeling great and struggled to do 5-7 reps with 70.
I don't want to use the genetic excuse. I'm not handicapped and the laws of physics apply to me too. What should I change?
My routine is 4-5 times a week I'm at the gym lifting for an hour. 3-5 sets with about 7 reps for bench pressing and then curls, just because those are the most fun for me, weighted crunches holding a 25 lbs. plated weight, incline presses, sometimes I'll throw in fly's, that over the head with one dumbell behind you thing I don't know the name of, and then 2-3 of the times I'm there I'll squat (which I for some reason can't do without straining my spine) and use this machine that I don't know the name of for calfs. For legs I do higher reps. Other than that I usually do 2 or so other machines or dumbell workouts I've seen on bodybuilding that I can't remember the names of.
I know I'm inexperienced. Yes I've read the sticky and have a basic idea for how this works but I feel like there's more I'm missing.
What is the rest of your day like? Do you get up and move around throughout the day or do you sit in front of a desk a lot?
If you can, try to stand up and do some stretches or walk around for a few mins at least once every couple of hours,

> literally me but I have a shittier diet kek
>>42384195
you are constipated retard. eat oats and high fiber vegetables. drink lots of water and go far walks if you don't do any cardio.
>Have your stomach cut out
>Feeling hungry
choose uno my friendo
based boogie is gonna make it!!
Hunger is a sensation caused when the stomach is empty. Filling it stops production of ghrelin, the enzyme that causes hunger. Since a gastic bypass makes the stomach a lot smaller, it's easier to fill up and thus you don't feel as hungry.

Is being vegetarian actually healthy or is it just a meme?
I've been eating vegetarian for a week to help combat GI stuff, and I'm feeling really good.
If I want to continue like this, do I need to get anything like supplements in order to fill holes in my diet?
take a look
>>42382915
As a vegetarian, you could just eat 2 eggs per day, that with all the veggies should cover all micronutrients.
You might want to check how you're doing with the B vitamins (6,9, and 12), D vitamins, omega-3s, and creatine. Creatine you'll supplement anyway because nobody gets 5g per day just by eating, and the others are just common deficiencies.
There is plenty of evidence that a vegetarian diet is healthier than an average diet, but all of those benefits really come from the increased amounts of fruits and vegetables and legumes. You dont exactly need to be a vegetarian to eat morenof those foods.
