What Is a Growth Plate?
The growth plate, also known as the epiphyseal plate or physis, is the area of growing tissue near the end of the long bones in children and adolescents. Each long bone has at least two growth plates: one at each end. The growth plate determines the future length and shape of the mature bone. When growth is complete--sometime during ages of 18-21--the growth plates close and are replaced by solid bone.
Weight lifting to a certain extense of weight (depending on age) can off-set your growth plates and will make them prematurely fuse together causing you to be un able to grow any further. The reason behind this is, when your growth plates have not fused, they are very "slippery", if you use a very heavy weight, for instance you are 13 years old using 200 lbs on a bench press, your growth plates can slip into place and fuse together sooner than they should, if left untreated, it can cause permanent damage and interfere with proper growth of the involved limb. Therefore stunting your growth.
So it is best to stick to low weight high reps during training, atleast until you are 18-21.

What exercise do I do to get women to worship my abs?
ab roller, decline weighted crunches, bicycle kicks, penguins, suitcases, cherry pickers, cable crunches, DB side bends
Ever since I asked /fit/ what exercise I should do for my abs, I've seen 3-4 threads a day dedicated to ab routines. And yet nobody ever fucking posts theirs.
Is this the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon in action?
>>41968169
Some cardio doesn't hurt
Should I spend 500 bucks on a static bike and some dumbells to have my own small home gym?
where do you live? why not a bar and plates?
>>41966432
get an actual bicycle and lift gallon jugs
>>41966484
in spic land.
I think a dumbell is more space efficient than a bar.
Hey /fit/, it's time to talk about belts.
>post current belt
>get belt advice
>how much can you deadlift
My current belt is pic related, hit 5pl8 deadlift back in December and I'm thinking of getting a belt that's not skinny in the front, but not trying to pay a fuck ton for it.
Has anyone used a Dark Iron fitness belt? Looks good in terms of specs, reviews, and price.

The OP's belt is a piece of shit.
Unless you're tall, go w/ a 3" belt. Don't ask me why, I won't answer.

I'm a little confused here. Looking at pics of some girls on Instagram and /s/, and I'm seeing 18-23 year old chicks that have amazing bodies, and I'm curious as to how they are achieving this? I squat, bench, and run a few times a week, don't drink soda that often, and cook at home. I'm average at best. Genetics? You can't tell me these women aren't eating fast food from time to time either. What's the catch here? Personal chefs? Do they really all bust their ass trying to achieve these bodies? I'd kill just to see their habits, both food and exercise alike.
100% genetics, you're fucked hun
you don't need to work out at all for a physique like in the picture
>>41961399
Not genetics, just diet. I've looked like the girl on the far left since before I started lifting--I just didn't eat over 1400 cals and did a lil cardio.
>>41961399
Bullshit
Keep working out and someday you will look like this.

>>41971334
How do you get rid of visceral fat? I've always indulged too much in sweets as a kid, and as an adult in beer, so I have a protruding gut.
>>41971264
Dr. Lustig has gotten so much shit for that. It's retarded and plain wrong. Added sugars are pretty worthless yeah but not inherently harmful.
What would be the ideal FRAME for girls?
not fat
white
explosive
How do I become this? What the fuck do I need to do? Help me score dick and pussy at uni
>>41969631
the fact that you're female and posting on 4chan means you're hideous as fuck and have no chance
gg no re
>>41969631
Eat more. Squat more. Do some hip thrusters.
Unless you're a guy. Then I don't fucking know.
>An adult male weighs at least 200 pounds
- Mark Rippetoe
>u mirin brah
>dont be a sad cunt
- Jeff "Scooby" Seid
That's not incorrect; it's less only if you're a manlet, which doesn't put you into the category of actual adult males
yeah and what, any non manlet/birdbone type should weigh 200 lbs
How do I get a bigger dick, /fit/? I know some people say there isn't a way, but there must be something that works and isn't a scam since male pornstars are running around with huge dicks.
use google
penis extention exercises work, and give permanent gains
desu archives uprisings posts on the subject, they are correct
oh yeah, if u want a routine just pirate some ebook about penis enlargement, lel there are like 9 goriiliion
happy gains m90
jesus christ man, why? why do you want a bigger dick? because you're so used to looking at porn stars? having a big dick is a meme. women get off from emotion and through their thoughts, not physically. don't fall for kike propogana.
i've got a 5" and i've made every woman i've been with come to orgasm. it's about reading their body language and conforming while looking good doing so and whispering romantic bullshit in their ear.

Granted it was her job to greet people coming in, but I felt it was genuine. I was going to ask her if she had a daughter as beautiful as her but I'm not that confident.
Share your mire stories.
The niggers where giggling at your retarded you looked drooling over yourself in the mirror.
