It seems that these last few years /fit/ went from "we're all gonna make it" to "you should just kys if you're a manlet/chinlet/dicklet...".
I think balancing the board with some wholesome encouraging and optimism can be healthy.
Feel free to post mires and progress in your /fit/ lifestyle, I'll start

If you have any advice on improving my bench press please share
We're all gonna make it
I'm currently in a panic attack but I feel it subsiding. What do you do to calm down? Should I sleep it off?
SS for bench will only take you so far, when you start stalling you will need to add more volume and train at lower intensity
Well done OP.
You're gonna make it.
As for bench, learn about leg drive as you might not be using it properly. Jen Thompson has a great video on bench technique that covers leg drive in a way that is easy to understand.
Other than that, use more volume. Its hard to keep bench going up with lower volume.
As for me, I got 1pl8 OHP for 15 reps today. Beating my previous 1pl8 PR of 12.
When doing weighted dips, is it best to do 3x5 or 3x8? Also, how should I know when to progress to a higher weight?
>>42256459
I add 5 lbs whenever I can do 3x15 with any given weight
If I go too heavy it feels like my shoulders and ribcage are about to blow the fuck out, so I never go below 8 reps
>>42256459
>when to progress
When you can do 3xX of your current weighted amount?
Genuine question. I know Dips are like the only thing you can do part ROMs for until you're good enough to do the full motion. So wouldn't you being able to do full, deep reps every time for all sets mean you should move up?
>>42256459
Just do whatever you prefer. It's not like it's going to make a huge difference as long as the weight is increasing.
What do you need to do to achieve the "sucked cheeks" aesthetic?: Is it mostly genetic or do you just need to get really skinny?
Mostly genes, it all depends on fat distribution.
No matter how much I cut, even going into unhealthy BMI territory, I still have that babyface
Probably mostly genetic. I not just the cheekbones either. My cheekbones aren't all that amazing and I still have hollow cheeks and I know guys with much better cheekbones (who are much more attractive) than me who don't have it. It's not like it matters anyway, as it doesn't show that well during daylight anyway. Don't focus on bullshit like hollow cheeks, as it barely makes a difference in attractiveness.
>>42256445
Just be very very lean and clench your teeth together for photos
If you still believe that squats and deads are enough then you should really reconsider your
training routine. Stop believe these permabulk retards that seep in from /b/ trying to troll.
If you do NOT train abs then they will look like shit on a cut.

LOL quoting that manlet.
Just look at him, its too funny.
Explain this to me.
The end of week 5 of Couch to 5k has you running for 20 mins.
Week 6 has you back running at slower intervals. Then at the end of it you're running 25 mins.
Shouldn't week 6 continue the 20 min solid run for the first 2 workouts and then add the extra 5 mins for a total of 25 mins at the 3rd and last?
It seems counterproductive to make your way up to 20 mins of running and then go back to baby steps.
Just don't be a bitch and run 5k
>>42256386
You should not run more in every single training session. Your body needs time to recover
>>42256386
Probably a recovery stage. Running is hard on the body

why is this attention whore making a mockery of my wife
Why
>>42256300
Because the most iconic "muscle pose" is the bicep flex. Its the first muscle people think of if you tell them simply to "flex"

It's easy to achieve.
What is a good ratio of calories to fat calories for building muscle but staying lean?
35/35/30 C/F/P
>>42256257
wow those arms are long as fuck
>>42256331
So fat intake should be equal to calories?

Is it possible to increase my strength enough to lift 200 pounds and carry it around in a month? I can currently do about 130 pounds.
>>42256226
It depends what the load is that you're carrying.
If you can get it onto the back of your shoulders and do it like a fireman carry, you will easily manage.
If you mean carrying it like a movie hero carries an unconscious woman out of a fire, then probably not.
If you mean like a suitcase, probably not for any appreciable distance.
>>42256259
Fireman carry is what I'm aiming for

Why can't my bench go up bros?
My squat is 205 actually though
you arent benching enough
you arent eating enough
you arent sleeping enough
YOU ARENT TRYING ENOUGH
Do you have long arms?
I have long arms and my deadlift is massive while my bench is pretty much permastuck at 110kg and then drops when I cut.
Decreased oxygen by fast rep >vs.
Increased range of motion by fast rep
Which is better for hypertrophy?
why not both? i always wear a rope around my neck while working out for decreased oxygen
>>42256130
Increase time under tension by slow rep*
Is squatting 4 times per week too much
5x5 twice per week
3x10 twice per week
>>42256107
Depends on what your goals are. Do you want extremely well built quads and hammies at the possible expense of other lifts due to recovery time and energy expenditure?
>>42256107
>we can't let Drumpf get the nulcear codes, he will start WW3
>are we literally gonna elect Putin's cock holster as president?
OP, unless you are training for competition, 4 times is entirely too much. You are gonna look like shit.
Depends on if you're trying to do max effort every workout.
If you do some as speed work and some as pause work, you will be fine.
But no you will plateau pretty fast if you're going heavy with an aim to go heavier every workout.
