does fit want to learn how to cook pork shoulder?
its a little fatty but its easily the cheapest tastiest cut of meat in the grocery
Dutch oven
Stove at medium
Season pork with garlic salt black pepper and throw in half an onion 3 garlic cloves and 1 cup water
> cook for 30 mins covered
> uncover then add 3 tbsp oil
> cook another 45 mins on low
Should be brown and crispy the onions should be carmelized and the pork should pull apart like a pastry

>cook at random temperature for 30 mins with a cover
>cook at another random "low" temp for another 45 mins
Nigga does your oven just say hot and cold?
I've been on linear progression for 7 months and Ive hit the following numbers:
Squat 115kg 3x5
DL 147,5kg 1x5
OHP 47,5kg 3x5
Bench 75kg 3x5
Barbell row 70kg 3x5 (questionable form)
I'm 186cm (6'1) and I weigh about 73-74kg. Can I still progress on 3x3 or should I switch it up and jump ship to another program?
I also do chinups and dips as an accessory, but they don't seem to do much strength wise
>Inb4 eat more
I'm lean bulking, I eat 160 grams of protein a day. I'm not changing my diet.
>>41558558
you can switch to some periodized routine if you train for strength (like 5/3/1 for example). If you train for size drop that 3x5 bullshit all together and listen to bodybuilding bros.
>>41558558
>Can I still progress on 3x3
are you? if yes. then don't switch. if no, then switch
>>41558584
what volume should one be looking at for size gains?
What are the ultimate back and chest exercises? Need to work both quick. Abs, Legs and arms are alredy good enough, but I need back and chest. Espcially back. What routine can I use to improve both quickly?
I can do lifts, but ill stick to calisthenics and other exercises if possible. If not, ill do lifts.

pull ups and chin ups build a great back
Butt walks for Quadratus laborum
I'm making an SQL database to keep track of the foods I eat. It holds each food's calorie, protein, sugar, carb and fat count and the date I eat them. Is there anything else I should track?
>>41558531
I'm tracking you on my gaydar because god damn you're a huge faggot why even make this thread
Just use MFP holy shit you turboautist
>>41558531
Hold each food in it's own table with a primary key. Then have a separate table with multiple entries for every time you eat that food, with the food's table primary key as a foreign key.
"The key, the whole key, and nothing but the key, so help me Codd"
Also, use postgres.
are they a meme? looking into them to reduce soreness after training for a tri.
>>41558414
>reduce soreness
this part is memey
>>41558414
Hopefully it will reduce your faggotry
On the real thought they're comfy as fuck and don't ride up your ass like boxers do.

I did it fit
90 kg 3x5 squat with not a single itch in my lower back
I love you all
>>41558116
well done
dyel?
>>41558137
it's 90 kg so obviously he does lift. The average joe who has never lifted in his life can barely squat 50 kg
yeah, he is a good example of how much of a difference lighting, angles and a pump make
I think 2 threads a week is enough
Physique looks attainable, depends on height on how hard it is to get though.
Whats the point of hiring a personal trainer for an extended period of time, like half a year or something? Wouldn't you more or less figure out everything out after a month or something?
>>41557805
well they definitely inform their clients of anything. They just probably tell them to do something because "it will help with this."
If they actually told them how to make up a program/routine, they would lose their clients and money
>>41557805
Personal trainers will always have shit to tell you, they need you to keep coming back otherwise they don't make any money.
I guess it can help if you want/need to regularly change your program up for some reason, and maybe if you need help with nutrition and diet planning. Some people spend a lot of time with PT's and coaches for motivation or if they're training for something in particular like competitive sport.
>>41557805
Nobody here who actually lifts uses a personal trainer
Personal trainers are a scam for middle age fat women or DYELs too scared to figure it out themselves.
Need help from my vegan bros.
I somewhat recently went vegan (2 months ago) and its great for loosing weight however i'm starting to worry about my protein intake. I can easily reach about 2500-3000 calories a day if I try but only if most of it is from carbs (mainly fruit and rice) and I only get in about 50-80 grams of protein a day. Is this to little if my goal is to get a bit stronger (martial art fag).
Lentils are really really hard for me to eat and
vegan protein powders are insanely expensive. also any tips on foods that are easy to eat to get that protein?
>>41557702
>Lentils are really really hard for me to eat
Chickpeas, black beans, red beans, [legume] high protein pasta
>vegan protein powders are insanely expensive
MyProtein's pea protein isolate is literally cheaper than whey even when adjusted for mass, % protein and taste and has near identical essential amino acid profile, the ratios are within 1-2%.
>also any tips on foods that are easy to eat to get that protein?
Seitan, tofu, tempeh
Penub bubba
Vegan chilli with plenty of beans, chick peas, veggies, some seed or nuts, mix in a spoonful of peanut butter.
You can add this to your rice or wrap it on a tortilla.
You don't need massive amounts of protein to add size and strength.
Just buy regular whey, pretend it's vegan.
How did you get results for your lateral delts bros? I've been doing 3x10 DB side raises on OHP day for more than a year now and I barely see any changes, on top of getting a pinched nerve whenever I do that.
Pic before/after
You can't grow a lot in that area without roid
>>41557658
>3x10
do em after almost ever set. It should hurt to raise your shoulders after you're done. 10 sets min. KILLL IT

I do this shit exactly OP
Who here has a resting bitch face?
>tfw qts are all intimidated and everyone thinks youre pissed
Having to smile manually is hard and feels fake as fuck brehs.... being shy and quiet doesnt help since it makes you look like youre pissed and want to be left alone
I have it m8. Feel like a twat when I do the manual smile.

For you, how long did it to realize that pretty much no one is really natty?
Couple months. A lot of people are natty, but cutting to the point of seeing veins on your fucking abs while retaining size is just not possible.
>>41557555
Most people who look good aren't natty its safe to say but there are always exceptions to the rule- I'd say 99.9% of people above FFMI 24 who are shredded (like 5-8 body fat) like the guy in your picture aren't natty- that fullness and leanness is one in a million natty, if that
guys in the 22-24 FFMI range and lean 8-12 body fat are questionable, you can never know if they're natty or not. They have an incentive to use gear oftentimes but their bodies are within the human limits.
many athletes are in this range, usain bolt, ronaldo, many more
>>41557555
My gym buddy is more ripped than your pic and he doesn't use any drugs at all.
>how would you know?
Because his parents manage his money and he lives with them.
What's the ultimate cardio?
