I'm 5'9 and I'm worried that squats are going to make me shorter.
I'm already self conscious and one of the shortest dudes in my gym in suburban Detroit.
Elliot Hulse says that squats make you shorter and so do many other sources.

I don't know what to believe. I might stop squatting because I fear I might be 5'8 next year.

i'm 5'7"
i've felt i've gotten shorter from squats but it's worth it. i feel like only tall people care about height. they seem way more insecure about their height than all the manlets i know. i don't get why getting half an inch shorter bothers you, it seems like such a silly thing to be worried about when you could be squatting 3 plates

Op here. What if I swim for an hour 3-4 times a week? Could that offset my squatting if I only i squat 1-2 times a week?

Every Asian in the US is fit. Almost every other race of woman is fat and grotesque here. I was just at a Chinese Buffet and the Asian women serving everyone had 9-10 bodies and the sweetest faces, and they were providing excellent service to fat grotesque slobbering women.
What am I missing? It just seems extremely backwards to me.

This morning I was walking down the sidewalk and a homeless punk 20-something was walking towards me with a pitbull on a leash. When we got within 5' of each other suddenly raised his fist and leaped at me to punch me in the face. I jumped away and covered my head and froze like a bitch. He just walked right by me like nothing happened, while I was stunned with adrenaline pumping through my veins.
After the confusion and anger subsided I was actually grateful, this experience showed me that no matter how /fit/ I get I'm still a pussy. I want to train my courage the way I've trained in the gym, so I've decided to take up a martial art. Any opinions? I'm looking at BJJ and Krav Maga (from a proper licensed Krav gym, not a McDojo).

He's just a shitty crusty. Let him ruin his life in his own way.
If realizing that you're a mortal human is really so traumatizing for you, just carry a gun like the rest of the adult male community.

If he had a pitbull no matter how much shit you knew you'd have reacted the same. Those things are guns on a leash

Any decent combat sport where you do drills and learn to spare correctly will teach you that getting hit is not a big deal usually - unless obviously some heavyweight boxing monster is mad at you at fullforce punch your face.

Welcome to /Routine General/
Share your lifting routine and ask questions you may have about exercises and programming.
Some quick info for beginners
>#1: Read the Sticky
>If you want to gain/lose weight, track your calories
>If you are just getting started, a proven and popular program is always going to be better than something you came up with, save yourself the time and headaches
>SS, GSLP, Reg Park's, ICF, SL or any Linear Progression Strenght program based on the big 3 lifts will be ok
>Wanna get into Powerlifting? Candito's program is a good place to start
>Want some more aesthetics? Look into Greyskull LP, it's a template you can customize, the book's pdf is pretty easy to get. Pic related is a good version
>Bodyweight exercises, while not the best for muscle gain, are a good gauge to know if you're gaining too much fat too quickly. If your Rows and DL are progressing but your pullups are laggin behind, chances are you gotta cut back on the milk and oats
>Unless you're pretty advanced, Cut/Bulk is not really needed, just stay at a sensible bf%, eat healthy food you're gonna be ok
>"Cardio kills gains" is a meme, if you want to be healthy you need your cardiovascular system in check. Just lifting weights is not enough
>Low intensity cardio is not the best but it's better than nothing, lifting & being able to run 5k is better than just lifting weights and sitting on your ass all day
>HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is the best both for cardiovascular health and weight loss purposes. Do that if you dont have time to run for 50 minutes
>You should be STRETCHING every day. Make it a habit. Mobility/Flexibility iscrucial both for gains and lift safety.
>"Starting Stretching" is a good place to start
>10 mins of stretching twice a day, morning and evening, or just once if you dont have the time
>Do not static stretch before lifting, stretching cold muscles makes them more prone to injury and somewhat hinders you strenght

>After 4-6 months on a LP beginner program, if you are struggling to progress and have been deloading a bunch, you might wanna look into a more intermediate program.
>If you keep progressing by all means ride out that linear progression as much as you can
Some popular Intermediate routines are
>Texas Method
>Madcow's
for maximum strenght gainz
>PHUL
Good trade-off between Strenght and Aesthetics
>PPL
more aesthetics-centric, good if you can go 5-6 days a week
Some more routines in the pic related
Don't do brosplits. Your muscles take around 48 hours to regenerate after a workout. Training them once a week is a loss of potential gains, also those routines are filled with volume, due to them being 1 or 2 muscle groups per day, so strenght gains are non-existent.
This is the routine I'm currently on, since June.
I started out 1.5yrs ago with SS, went on to GSLP and then PHUL. Finally settled on this ULPP (Upper Lower Push Pull)
I think this is a good routine if you dont wanna completely forget legs but also dont want to train them twice a week
My strenght has been progressing fine on it, also thanks to the 531 rep scheme on the big 4 compound lifts
If you're having problems with normal progression, check it out, or any kind of periodization, they definitely help
>Day 1 - Upper Power
Bench Press 531
Cable crossovers 3x10

Dips 3xF
Bench 3x8
Cable crossovers 3x10
Incline DB press 3x10

depends on your activity level, the #1 rule is calorie deficit/surplus
But to some extent, you can replace carbs by proteins and fats, I usually eat about 80-100g a day of carbs, not a fan of rice and pasta
