Nice fitness thread :)

who /morning workout/ here?
I do it during the weekend but still I feel more comfortable/energetic when I workout in the evening.
Yeah, drinking my shake now before I drive over to the gym.
Do German volume training work for natties?
>>41838500
yes, it's one of the best splits for for a natty, but FBWs are better anyway.
>>41838500
it works for a few weeks, afterwards you should do change the stress or you can't progress.
Thought I'd ask even though I feel it's stupid.
I'm a swimmer and I've been pure strength training for around 8 months. I've plateaued in strength at 225lb x 1 reps and can't seem to surpass it. I've brought the weight down to 185 - 205lb and have been adding higher reps each week and i'm feeling like i'm making progress.
So should I just completely ditch 1 rep maxes and work with moderate weight with reps?
What lift? Also, testing 1RM is something people don't do often. you're definitely not going to be making progress through 1 rep lifts, there's basically no volume. volume = growth
>>41838480
BB Bench mainly but all my pushing exercises have been the same.
I figured I just hit a wall and once I get over this i'll stick to 1 rep maxed but Okay i'll stick on volume from now.
1 RM maxes are only good for egolifting once in a while, when you do a 1 RM you're effectively wasting what could have been a good working set
Ive been looking into 100 rep sets. Different sources talk about different benefits (fat burning potential, improved recovery). Does anyone here have experience doing 100 rep sets?
No because it's a retarded idea
>>41838332
Sounds like a good way to fuck up your joints.
>>4183839
Wew, you are pretty fucking stupid. There are reasons for high rep work, and a lot of serious lifters do it. It's for tendon health, and muscle hypertrophy.

Does anyone have a rough estimate on how much protein does a whole chicken have? I get 1kg of whole chicken everyday, but after removing the bones it's about 600g of meat.
>>41838288
lots of that is water and fat too. Just weigh the cooked and deboned meat which is still 20-30% protein.
>>41838318
I get the cooked rotisserie one. So I'm guessing around 150-170 grams of protein?
>>41838318
>cooked
That's not how you do it
Drinking because of deppresion. Does it affects my gains if i still have a good diet?
/fit/.. ?
Yes. It will also make your depression worse.
>>41838281
stop drinking man .Its fucking wothless. It will snap your brain
>>41838281
bruh dont do it.
I'm a fairly high functioning alcoholic - have a good job and friends and family BUT I lost all my gains.
I was shredded and hitting 1 pl8 ohp, 2pl8 bench, 3.5 pl8 squat, 4.75 pl8 DL and i let it waste away to nothing.
Lift hard, read books, try new things and you won't need to drink. I tried pills and therapy for a while but that didn't do shit, change comes from within.
If you're suicidal its time to seek help, if not get up and get out there, its not as bad as you think.
>r8 this program
>>41838259
Haven't read it.
But I loved 531 and 531 Reloaded and I've done a lot of cycles a few years back.
>>41838266
Isn't the frequency a bit low?
>>41838289
You do a halfbody split four times a week?
That's the same as Westside etc.
anyone into extending the human lifespan a bit more than just by dieting+exercising? there is a lot of action on that front these days , google's calico, degrey, thiel, venter etc
if i had 50 grand lying around i wouldnt mind
checking out venter's biz humanlongevity com : " HLI is your health intelligence partner using advanced genomics-based information to empower individuals to shape their own health and shift the practice of medicine from reactive to proactive, personalized, and preventative. "
I need some advice, my life completely lacks direction. I know a lot of young people feel that same way but also a lot of people don't seem to care, they're happy to float through life, maybe they're already comfortable and it's not a big issue to them.
But this keeps me up at night, I carry it around with my all day every day, I have this all consuming constant nagging, I need to achieve something, I need to do something fulfilling. And the truth is aside from my work ethic and desire I am pretty average, I don't have any connections, I don't know any successful people, I don't have a career.
Can any of you guys relate to this, and what did you do to turn your life around?
I'm currently working 40 hours per week in a meaningless and poor paying job, and I'm 95% sure my fitness/bodybuilding obsession is just a distraction. It's probably just something I do so I can tell myself I've done something meaningful.
How old are you and what education do you have?
>>41838196
Go to youtube and watch some of Jordan Peterson's videos. Maybe start with some cuts from his lectures. If this resonates with you maybe it's what you need.
> I'm 95% sure my fitness/bodybuilding obsession is just a distraction. It's probably just something I do so I can tell myself I've done something meaningful.
congrats, you're halfway there. realizing that lifting is a distraction from things that really improve your life in the long run and put you on the right track is the key
How much should I train to be able to do a split?
>>41838010
A lot. Some, maybe.
But are you asking how useful it is, or how much you need to train to do one?
>>41838182
>how much you need to train to do one?
this
every day won't be too much?
>>41838198
Personally, I followed a week long program a few times in order to do them. I only ever really took a day off if I really felt sore from the prior session.
My advice is to feel it out and don't be too extreme during your sessions. If you feel strained doing it every day, don't.
>Undergrad I cycle to school a lot
>Always eat healthily
>Don't lift but keep a decent slim body
>Get to Law School

>Live in a city where literally no stores or anywhere i go is walking distance so i always have to drive
>Mum believes in the "everything in moderation" meme except we eat pasta all the time and really fatty indian food
>Always studying and no time to work out but I've steadily been gaining weight
>Looked in the mirror today and realized I might be approaching overweight levels of fat
Since it's summer now I'm gonna start a regime tomorrow, cut down on calories, tell my mum I'm cooking for myself and start lifting.
How do I not embarrass myself at the gym? I always use those resistance machines because I'm a massive faggot and don't want to go alone and look like a freak who has no idea what he's doing in the free weight area.
I've been bullied too much to give a fuck how I'm treated these days. As far as I'm concerned, I deserved it and all that followed.
Just go, do what you got to do, and leave... if you don't want to act weird and not know how something works in front of others, then look up the machine later and see what it does...

Don't be a faggot.
Most gyms are filled with casual skinnyfats.
Don't be a dick, don't hog le squat rack, and don't look at me wrong or I swear to fucking god I'll ass rape you so hard your cheeks will fall off and your body will split in two.
