So I am 19 years old and I have a free testosterone of 419. The endocrinologist wont give me anything because technically I am in the normal range. Of 350 to 1100. But my hair is falling out, I am haveing problems with depression, and lack of interest in anything. I can't get an erection. What should I do? Besides lifting weights at the gym. Which I have started doing. There isnt any other doctors in my area.

You don't have low test, you are just a fucking loser ;)

What have you done to improve your cardiovascular? The better the heart, the higher the testosterone. Go for a run, do unweighted ab work, do something every day to stay active. On top of that, avoid foods high in saturated fat and sodium. Instead, eat foods high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat so you can raise HDL production and thus increase testosterone.

I was bulimic for 2 years and it permanently fucked up my insides. It still doesn't stop me from eating spicy foods and drinking on the weekend. God damn it, bros.

I'm 24 male, 5,9" 140lbs with an aggressive metabolism and trying to get big for the first time really. I planned to stick to something like the routine posted, but turns out the appt. complex I just moved into only has dumbbells. Can't really afford a gym membership at this time. Any suggested routines?
tl;dr best use of dumbbells to gain muscle? more detailed the better as i know dick about lifting.

>trying to get big for the first time really
Good luck, because you'll never be big. You wanna know why? Because the day you start lifting is the day you will be forever small. You will never be as big as you want.
>>42041312
Not trying to get huge. Gaining 10-20lbs would be great.
>>42041329
>gain 10-20lbs
Wow just 10 to 20lbs of lean body mass. Oh man just wave some dumbbells around erratically and you'll get that in no time bro.
Oh and you don't have an aggressive metabolism you stupid fuck, you just don't eat enough.
how to achieve pic related?
my calves have shit size and calf raises don't seem to werk. also how to achieve the rippedness in the thighs thnx
Smith machine calf raises on the edge of a block or platform. Do them slow and go for full ROM (through your heels to on your toes). Squeeze every rep and you will feel your calf getting bigger. 3x10 or whatever
Do lots of volume. Your calves can take a huge beating so your rep range should be in the double digits
Don't be afraid to work them everyday
Start jumping rope (this works super well)
Go backpacking
Run at least 40 miles a week at at least 8 miles per hour.
What does /fit/ think about working out with a sore throat (probably a cold)?
>>42041125
unless your too i'll to actually lift it's fine so long as you feel fine.
>>42041125
It actually helps as you are sweating it out and drinking lots of water

>alcohol does not convert to fat. even daily beers probably would not make you gain weight. there is no fat in beer
Alcohol makes you fat by proxy. It turns into acetate, and your body prefers burning acetate over fat, when available, so drinking alcohol has the same effect as if your TDEE was lowered.

Is 5x5 good?
No memes.
>>42040139
5 sets is too much and increases risk of injury
3x6 is the golden ratio of weightlifting
5x5 is good for strength goals. Not size or endurance goals.
>>42040167
I dot 6 sets on mosts move
6 on bench
6 on incline
If you want fast and good results you must work hard, that is why many of you take years to pack on muscle

I've heard of plenty of people getting PRK or LASIK and getting a waiver.
I started SS a month ago after having prior lifting experience. I've got decent mobility, having also been into yoga. Despite regular effort and stretching and warming up, low bar is annihilating my arms. I have nice long forearms that make it very uncomfortable to hold the bar in the correct position and, even with straight wrists and varying grip width, I finish my 3x5 with my arms and hands shaking like Michael J Fox. Rest days are spent in constant pain in my elbows and it's disrupting my sleep, which impacts recovery. It also makes benching and pressing a nightmare, and these used to be my favorite lifts.
What I'm getting at is, I'm at my wits end trying to follow Father Rippetoe's admonishments and I've been considering dropping lifting altogether, it's that bad. There has to be an alternative, especially since my goal is just to build a strength base for aesthetic work in a few months. I'm not interested in powerlifting and I'm not an athlete.
So, can I high bar squat? SS basically says don't even consider it unless you're 90 years old and you've had surgeries that prohibit low bar squatting, but that seems extreme. Tell me it's okay, /fit/. Tell me high bar squatting isn't the devil and it's okay for me to squat in a way that won't destroy my joints. Low bar squatting may be the most mechanically efficient way to squat, but adding 5%-10% to my squat weight isn't worth the toll it's taking on my arms.
>>42037019
>So, can I high bar squat?
No that's impossible.
>>42037064
Just squat high bar and follow the same linear progression model that SS puts in place then switch routines when you stall. No need for dogmatic exercises if the exercise doesn't work for your anthropometry
Give me a routine for getting MASSIVE arms. That is upper arms and forearms. I will not train any other body part, I just enormous arms.
>>42034908
Train elbow flexion, then train elbow extension, then rotate your hand 90 degrees and do it again.
>>42034908
try this.
Google the top exercises for bis, tris and forearms and click on bodybuilding.com. Then select the top three for each exercise and perform each of them 3x10 three times a week

I became buddies with ripped dudes at my gym. They post pics of their gains every now and then and apparently every time they do random girls in their area DM them and ask if they're down to fuck. He said his DM's were filled with random girls including some from high school and some mutual followers. I didn't believe him at first but he showed me and shiett..
Is it really that easy? How come you guys never told me about this
>>42017717
>Is it really that easy? How come you guys never told me about this-
because you are ugly
If you're good looking, confident AND ripped it is that easy to fuck young sluts.
If you want to have a real relationship it's a bit harder. ESPECIALLY if you want to have a real relationship with one of these young sluts.
But yeah, I'm good looking, confident and not v ripped at all (1 year into natural training) and I can actually fuck whoever I want it's wild.
>>42017739
This is p true, but I do need to mention it's more about the way you act than your looks.
Girls don't work on a spectrum like men do, they put guys into a fuck/wouldn't fuck group looks wise. The rest is all up to personality.
