Is $1,200 enough to start a home gym? I'm looking into getting a rack, bench, good barbell, and around 450lb of iron. Not sure if I can fit that all into my budget though. The iron looks to be the most expensive.
Keep saving up and invest in bumper plates. About 1600$ is what you would want to shoot for
>>42269877
you can do it with less than 1000
you can get a rack for 400
buy concrete plates, even though they are thicker you can still do 4 or 5 plates on a bar and they cost much less
plenty of money left to buy whatever else you need, chains, belts etc.
>>42269913
Im not into oly lifting though. I've never had to use bumper plates in 2 years of lifting.
Show me your musclemen, /fit/

What's a routine that will make my lower body (ass, hips, thighs) much bigger while keeping my upper body (arms, shoulders, waist) as small as possible?
Yes I read the sticky, I just think that my body goals make starting strength, stronglifts etc. not for me.

reminder to do weighted chin ups to bench more
>>42268337
What if I can do chin ups pretty well but strugle to do more than five pullups?
Is it bad to go until failure every time I do the pullup sets?
>>42268309
So this is Panzer's face, intredasting.
/fraud/ - it's almost august, why are you still fat? did you give up on your summer goals already?

so why again are orals bad? can you start with orals, or are they total garbage?
>>42268310
running orals without a test backer will shut you down. orals are typically very hepatoxic. you only use them in conjunction with test, or to kickstart a test cycle. you can't substitute them for injecting, so don't be a pussy and pin
>>42268397
that being said, they definitely have their place and aren't 'total garbage' - you just have to use them correctly.
How far have people gotten in 1 year?
Started off July 25th last year, 4 or 5 months went to shit due to excessive drinking but finally got back on track in March this year.
Lost about 10% BF (?) and maintained 90kg weight (200 lbs), lifts steadily progressing.
Post for Vascubrah - thanks for guidance a year ago (pic below)
Thread from last year
I started October last year, was a fatty. Now I'm looking pretty normal. I wear shorts and t-shirts, which I never used to do. Hell sometimes, I wear a sleeveless shirt on the weekend if I'm working outside or running a quick errand.
Stop drinking and fix your diet - you can do better than that
July 17 of 2017, Labcorp changed their normal testosterone range from :
Adult Male >18 years: 348 – 1197 ng/dL
to
Adult Male >18 years: 264 – 916 ng/dL
This is a huge problem for unaware people, anything below <400 is not a normal level off testosterone.
Dr Justin Saya an MD said :
It already pains me when a man presents to his traditional doc with all of the classic hypogonadal symptoms and a testosterone level of 370 ng/dL (with current range 348 - 1197) and is told he has "normal" testosterone levels and his problem lies elsewhere (such as a Prozac deficiency as opposed to Testosterone deficiency...sarcastic). Imagine now a man presenting with a testosterone level of 270 ng/dL and told the same?!?!
WAKE UP FIT.
This is very very bad, I will post the solution below, please make an effort to educate people on this, here's the LABCORP STATEMENT : https://www.labcorp.com/assets/11476

Fantastic. Now betas will have an even harder time.
Damn son thats fucked up.
Read this first : https://archive.is/SRfMp
Follow this then : https://archive.is/7vjtu
And then search, but be aware your testosterone should be
>700
>700
This is the magic number, PLEASE FIT, PLEASE LISTEN TO ME, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE LETHARGIC, DEPRESSED OR FILL A BIG LACK OF ENERGY IN THE MORNINGS
ITS MOST LIKELY YOUR TESTOSTERONE!!
PLEASE GET IT CHECKED OUT!
been doing isolations for the past year and my measurements are pretty much the same. my biceps even went down in size. yes i have been eating right and gained around 13 lbs in that time. what's going on? is it because i'm 27?
i usually do 4-6 sets of like 8-12 reps for those who want to know. been doing UL. yes i have gotten stronger but despite doing isolations at the end of every workout i look the same.

Alright faggots, post some inspirational instagrams for grills to lift. It can be of slutty girls but needs to be inspirational, slutty or not.
Can also involve huge weightloss, but grill must lift!

I'm like twice the size of her.
>>42266314
Girl objectively looks better in the before picture.
Why do women want to gain muscle anyway? It does not look good. Literally all you have to do is gain fat in the right places and save yourself all the hard work. If you don't gain the weight in the right spots genetically then just keep yourself thin with little to no muscle and put extra attention to your hair and makeup.

if i cut on 1000 cals a day for 2 weeks, will i die?
>>42266175
No, but it will be very painful.
For you.
>>42266175
No. It's much easier to accomplish this if you do keto or and EC stack.
what do you make of this?
you know "she" was a man in the first place
>>42265814
>that man face
disgusting
>gained more curves
Women don't seem to understand men don't care about curves. They care about a very specific specific set of curves.
Mostly the ones that set the hip-waist ratio, as well as breasts.
This woman has increased her shoulder size, her waist size, decreased her breast size. She looks more manly.
Was she attractive before? No. But if she would have just dieted and used bovine ovary hormonal therapy she would have both decreased the unwanted curves from fat rolls and increased the ones from a feminine figure.
Instead, she became a grotesque monstrosity that is, by the way, unhealthy.

I want to train 4 days a week. Substituting front squats for back squats seems pretty legit, because if you do back squats you can't deadlift strong on the same day or for the next couple of days (and vice versa), while front squats barely affect them at all

>Rest
Thurs:
>Upper volume
DB bench/row/Z-bar tri/Bi-circuit, 3 circuits of sets to failure
Delt raise/DB curl/legraises, 3 circuits of sets to failure
1-3 circuits of cable curls/tricep pushdowns/face pulls until fail
Fri:
>Deadlift
3x3 deadlift
3x10 deadlift
5xF pullups supersetted with hanging legraises
Sat/Sun
>Rest or some sort of sprints/swim of I feel like it.
Pls halp. Current PB's:

>Squat 200 kg
>Deadlift 240 kg
>Push press 100 kg

Your routine looks pretty similar to nSuns, just with different T1/2/3 lifts. Not bad I'd say, although I'd replace Chin ups with a row variation, and do chin ups as an accessory.
I'm running a modified nSuns 531 at the moment. Can you guys rate my accessory choices?
