Does anyone know how much faster a track uniform, cleats, and a track surface makes you?
Put another way: if a guy is wearing regular non-tennis shoes, jeans that fit, and a t-shirt and runs down a dry dirt track or a mown lawn, how much faster would he be with the uniform, cleats, and track surface?

Much faster. Can't give any specific numbers off the top of my head but it's a huge difference.
The clothes track athletes wear are very light and tight fitting, and grant great range of urestricted motion.
Spikes (not cleats) are also much lighter than shoes and tight fitting. Some (I'd say most but I've only used a few pairs) sprint spikes are designed to force you to run on the balls of your feet, which makes you faster. The actual spikes that dig into the track are a benefit because it makes it easier to push forward.
The track surface is also designed to make running faster/easier, just springy enough to push out forward.

I know, I'm just trying to get an answer like 10 or 20% faster

The word that comes to mind is "optimized." As in, why not do what he did (eat fewer calories) AND eat a clean/diverse diet?

Daily reminder to not do heavy squats and deadlifts. Rippletits fucked up his back completely doing that dumb shit and now he doesn't look like he ever lifted anything in his life. Do you really wanna be like him?

Gained 10kg in 10 months. It changes from person to another, make sure u get enough sleep and eat enough.

>>42280358
No, even with roids that would require godly genetics, diet, training and sleep.

Just set MyFitnessPal to 1 pound a week and it's perfectly reasonable
I've worked my ass off. I've hit all my goals and gone further. Every day i look in the mirror i feel like i've achieved something great for myself and climbed over every wall. EVERY WALL EXCEPT FOR ONE. I'm shy, always have been, about 200% more when it comes to the opposite sex, but i've been slowly chipping away at that.
Have had a new gym crush over the past month or so, she joined the gym recently. Short, cute, only lifts, doesn't do cardio, doesn't wear slutty gym clothes, has visible muscle tone but not too much. She's always working really hard.
We've been catching each other glancing a lot, but i've always hesitated to say anything. Three days ago i swear, i SWEAR she made a move to get my attention and give me an opportunity.
>I'll... I'll just finish my last few sets first...
Yeah by the time i was done she had left. two days later had a PERFECT chance to approach her and weenied out.
ENOUGH. I'M LEGIT ANGRY AT MYSELF FOR NOT MANNING UP. I GOTTA DO THIS. GIVE ME YOUR ENERGY /FIT/. I WANNA MAKE IT SO BAD.

Relax she probably has a boyfriend.

Still make friends with her anyway, her bf is probably beta and if not she will likely have hot single friends and throw a picnic in the area one time.

Always keep your number written down in your pocket to give to girls. It's sets the indirect aim and makes you make your opportunities.

>do the bench press
>never feel soreness in my chest
>barely ever get stronger
>do weighted dips
>always feel sore in my chest
>consistently get stronger
I'll give you one (1) minute to explain why I shouldn't drop the bench press and replace it with weighted dips.

If you're tall/have long arms, dips will grind your shoulders to space dust

ya eat a shit ton of food. Warm up with a nice slow 100m free/100m backstroke. Work fast 50ms with 20-30s rest for 10 sets or something, once or twice a week. Do distance (200m, 400m etc, try to increase your total distance week to week) the other sessions. Make sure to keep your stroke choice varied. Make sure your form is correct, butterfly is especially easy to fuck up so be careful on that. At the end of your sessions work for 5-10 minutes on dive starts, fast tumble turns, proper starts off the wall.

There are, but it sounds like you have too much tism for them at the moment, bring it down a bit, keep working on yourself.

So after yesterdays thread about low test I got decided to get checked. As a Eurofag I got a lab nearby where I can get tested so I called asked for the price (40 eurobux) and got tested. Today I pick my results up and its 470 ng/dl. Its normal but not optimal. What can I do?

hit your balls with a hammer and squeeze all testosterone out of it
if you don't want it you can check the already existing thread
>>
There's no difference in gains between 300 ng/dl and 1000 ng/dl.
If you want an actual difference you'll need to bring it up to 3000-3500 ng/dl.

>>42279613
its good enough. Dont worry about it.
/fit/ is filled with insecure retards who only think of issues as height, test levels, looks, jaw, etc.
Stop being so fucking insecure and just lift weights and be as good as you can.

Is it a meme? I wanna get to 130lbs, currently at 145, and it seems like a fast (heh) way to get to where I wanna be. The experiences of people who have done it suggest that the 'u put it back on right after' thing is nonsense.
Also, how do you stick to a fast?

You only put back on glycogen and water weight after, 5-10 pounds, you are primed for muscle growth after a fast.
I'm 10 days into a fast now, ezpz. Just have a pinch of salt a couple times a day, potassium salt and magnesium are good too.
