redpill me on white rice
it's carbs
>>41638293
not as good as shirataki noodles
>>41638293
I always thought brown rice was better, as it keeps you full longer. But a friend of mine tried to redpill me on brown rice saying that it has some acid in it that inhibits gainz.

Any advice?
>>41638288
bathe yourself in peanut butter the night before it will hydrate your lift for 200% gains.
>>41638288
Don't follow his routine. Beginners need different routines than intermediate or advanced lifters.
Read the sticky.
Make sure you know how to squat, deadlift and bench.
Any BR bros out there (specifically zona sul in RJ) who can help a brother out with gym suggestions? I've been looking around at the gyms near me and none of them except for Bodytech, which is stupid expensive, seem to have enough of a freeweight section. I do powerlifting and really just need a place that has a squat rack, but you guys seem to be obsessed with smith machines.
Smart Fit looked alright, but the one near me looks like its smith machine only. Where do the actual lifting Brazilians workout?
I'm going to be here for a while and I need my squats, mang. Living in Ipanema
I know there's gotta be somewhere I can do some squats.
>>41638522
fpbp
>>41638522
Why not just squat using one of the dead bodies littering the streets?
Can anyone show me VIDEO evidence that deadlifting is dangerous to the SPINE?
I'm not implying anything or making any claims.
I'd just like to see if theres any video evidence of this supposedly common danger.
>>41638082
No there's not any video or even scientific evidence that deadlifts cause spine injury even with bad form.
You dont have anything better to do than make the same threads over and over?
>>41638112
Oh.
Why do people say its dangerous then?
Choice 1:
>You achieve your goal body within 18 months natty and have the athleticism to compete at the top level in anything you want: you could win WSM, dominate Oly and powerlifting, bodybuilding, the NFL etc
You maintain your body for the rest of your life provided you lift and eat properly.
Choice 2:
>In three days you meet the 10/10 love of your life. You are perfect for each other and spend the rest of your lives together in a happy relationship, and die on the same night. Nothing could be better about them at all.
Which do you choose, and why?

I was just wondering. How big can a man get natty? I know every body is different. But what is the estimated amount of muscle that a man can obtain natural?
Please post pics of real natty bodybuilders.
Im aware of the fact that roids don't always mean huge mass. You can also post pics of smaller bodybuilders that are no mass monsters but are still in the range of what is possible natty
Also general natty or not discussion thread.
>>41637707
this dude is 6'1'' and a pro rugby player so he's either natty or using a light and subtle enough cycle not to get caught, and i'd say this size with this level of body fat is pretty much the absolute upper limit of nattyness
not that i'm certain he's natty, but i think it's achievable with like 4 years and if your genetics are good enough
How often do you guys shit?
I'm on my first bulk at 2900cal and I expected to be shitting a lot more but there's barely anything and only need to go every other day.

>minoxidil edition
Anybody ever used minoxidil on their eyebrows? I have slightly sparse eyebrows in some areas and think if they were a bit darker/fuller it would make my face a lot better
Don't do it, minox isn't as "exact" as you seem to think. When I used it on my bald patch I started growing more hair on my arms, neck and ears.
>>41637530
Not recommended, at least put a towel above your eyes. You don't want that shit in your eyes.
>>41637530
>if they were a bit darker/fuller it would make my face a lot better
Yeah bro, the reason you're not getting laid is because your eyebrows aren't dark or full enough.
Can a bunch of /fit/ weebs complete a Ninja Warrior course?
Also, how do you prepare for Ninja Warrior?

pull ups. that's it
>guy does a pull up
>crowd goes wild
>american "fitness"
isn't your military's fitness standard something like 20 pushups in 30 minutes and a 5km run in an hour
Minimum push ups to pass the PFT as a 18 y/o male is like 40 in two minutes, and a 2 mile run in 16 minutes
How much sleep do you get on the average day /fit/? I've been getting 3-4 hours a night the last 2 weeks and my lifts are suffering
Like 9.5 hours
I feel absolutely useless all day with less than 8.5
10 hour/day sleeper here.
No less no more.
>>41637254
Start doing cardio my man, it's incredible how it improves your sleep. Also, lift in the morning and not evening
If you did 3x5 100kg Squat vs 3x8 80kg, over the course of reps, I'd lift more poundage/volume with the 3x8 with 80kg. Would this equate to more muscle growth or does it not work that way? I've read about sarcoplasmic hypertrophy but I wanna hear a few other peoples input on the situation.
Doesn't work that way
That'd be like saying curling 5lbs for 100 reps is just as good at 50lbs for 10 reps.
>>41637197
It does work that way.
it might work that way
What is the best martial art for every day life?
I'm not looking to beat people up, I'm not a very aggressive person at all, in fact I've never been in what you would consider a real fight.
Thing is, I know if I got in a real fight I'd probably be shitting myself even tho I'm 191 cm (6'3) and not too skinny, I'd love to pick up a martial art just so I can be confident talking back to some asshole instead of being afraid he might fuck me up.
A plus would also a be a martial art that makes me train correctly many different muscle groups so I can incorporate it into my currently quite lacking workout routine.
Pic not too related, I just think Muay Thai looks fucking cool.
>>41636760
If self confidence is what you look for, any martial art with sparring.
>a martial art that makes me train correctly many different muscle groups
Every martial art will work every major muscle group. Just don't expect to put that much mass. Most you'll do is endurance training.
Boxing is fun and has won me a few scraps.
>>41636834
Yeah, people actually lose SOME mass but are more well conditioned, it's more about the "technique."
Let's keep it up for atleast a day -edition
