Why are there so many threads about getting big when women like ottermode?
>>41500300
Who cares about what women want?
Also, where does the term 'ottermode' come from?
>>41500300
Do you wanna fuck women and girls, or do you want to have sex with a loose little juicy cheesy shit-covered BRRRRAPPPPPP hole?
>>41500300
I don't lift for women.

Only ok if you're still in University. Otherwise, get a decent paying job and get out.

I have become FUCKING FAT over a year period after I stopped any physical activity and just sat on my ass playing vidya games and noming shit food.
now I'm 181cm 85kg
tell me, is there a point in loosing weight at this point to get to my goal weight and then start lifting,
or should I just fucking start lifting and burn that shit.
>>41499852
>"loosing"
kill yourself
>>41499852
Why do you have to choose between weight lifting and cardio? Just do both. You can arrange a weekly routine (ex.: monday-lifting, tuesday-cardio,etc.) and also follow a diet.

Breakfast is usually a shit meal, consisting of sugary cereal and carbs.
Dinner is the shit.

Why tho?

I can really walk around shirtless so this is second best to show off gains
>ani't see no girls complaining
that guys shirt isn't too small at all, it's just right.
it hugs his chest and arms slightly more due to having some muscle there. look at his tummy, if the shirt was wrapped around that like it was wet it would be too small. it's baggy around his tummy
nerds don't know shit about anything
his shirt doesn't look that small tho

I'd like to see you try *cocks rifle*
> Post your weight, height, average daily calories and method of exercise
195lbs
5'7
600 calories
Jogging daily/Cross trainer on break days
What I'm wondering is, how long do you think it will take to me to reach my desired goal of 150lbs, of course everyone's different. I've estimated around 4-5 months if I'm consistent.
Anyone else working on losing weight?
How the FUCK are you eating 600 calories? I'm starving on 1600.
>>41499573
It's all about what you eat, there are foods out there that can make you feel full while only being around 50 calories, an apple for example. I eat an apple or two throughout the day when I start feeling hungry, drink a lot of water until I feel full so the hunger goes away temporarily.
>>41499593
you're getting shit tier macros man, you're going to break or you're going to lose a lot of muscle mass
>>41499573
yeah but on the other hand he mentions jogging and is 195lbs at 5'7 so i guess he's at least doing something

Post pics or ask questions of anything related to improving ones self from mentally to aesthetically to physically.
I'm personally looking for relationship info photos, that shit affects my motivation at the gym.
Mental self improvement?

That storys a bit bullshit. Push yourself definitely, but not over the edge. No point if you have to take a break from injury

Bulgarian split squats are god tier. Even body weight has improved my leg strength.
What does /fit/ think of the hexbar?
>>41499433
Good squat accessory, it's like a leg press but better for your hips.
>>41499433
i always use it when i do volume deadlifts or farmer walks. feels really good
strength training or bodybuilding?
Bodybuilding is only possible if you have the genetics for it.
Anyone can get strong.

Trips of retardation
Trudeau is such a fucking cuck, I'd be so embarrassed to be a Canadian with this little shit in office
Also, to your question: natty bodybuilding is just powerlifting training in volume blocks if it's gonna be anything effective. Just pick a program that somebody else wrote (someone qualified, not your local trainer) and do that for a while. Best gains are found on a program
While female lifters can get pretty decent deadlifts, squats or shitROM benches, they will never achieve a good strict press, which is why the OHP is the manliest lift.
Post your overhead programming and rate others. Also post general info/programs/articles etc. of interest
what I did this week was:
>Tuesday:
>Heavy push press singles, technique focus 100% 1RM
>Strict press triples, 5 work sets 85-90% 1RM
>Z-Presses, 4x6 with 60% of strict 1RM
>Thursday:
>Strict press speed work at 55% 1RM, 10x3 short pauses
>BTN press with scared 55% 1RM for 3x8
>weighted dips and tri work
late intermediate / early advanced strength level
post from some random anon:
>Here's some legit advice. I know olympic history and how weightlifters trained pre and post roids when OHP was a competitive lift. I also have a 105kg max single without gear.
>Basically they trained at mostly around 85% for 1-3 reps, at 6-12 sets with rest typically lower than you're used to at around 2min, across 3 (minimum) to 5 max days per week and tested max every 1-4 weeks before adjusting max to reflect the new weight.
>A typical routine from the pre-roid era that was recommended by the British Amateur Weightlifting Association for an intermediate:

>[If you're interested in a modern strength writer who does something similar Google Jamie Lewis and his 'Destroy the Opposition' book. He's clearly read/used the same sources in designing his template but does not attribute them directly in his book. 5/3/1 also uses similar thinking, but I've always found my pressing goes down when I do it. (Due to not enough weekly pressing - my opinion.) Though YMMV as few at my weight of 88kg are doing 105kg max presses.]

other post from same anon few weeks back:
The Hepburn method, for those that don't know, is this:
>A. 4-10x1 (90%rm or 10lbs below/7 sessions/then add 2.5 for lower & 1 for upper/wu-50%x5, 60%x1, 70%x1, 80%x1)
>B. 4-10x3 (80%rm or 5rm/9 sessions/then add 2.5 for lower & 1 for upper/wu-50%x5, 60%x1, 70%x1)
>C. 5x3-5 (70%rm or 5rm/add reps to earlier sets first, i.e. 1st ses=5/3/3/3/3 5/5/4/3/3=/9 sessions/then add 2.5 for lower & 1 for upper/wu-50%x5)
>Done 2xweek M/Thurs for 3 months minimum & you progress through them as you stall
The problem with the above for getting a big press is that they're power focused. It's much better thn 531 and similar modern programs - which, due to OHP not being a competition left since 1972 has made everyone of our era completely ignorant of how to train the press: you need loads of 'stabilizing training' like I describe in my previous post over most of your training year to get a truly elite max.
2xweek in the press isn't enough for a big press. Ron Walker - the sick kunt in the pic I previously attached - trained 8x2 up to 3 times PER DAY for periods to achive his max press of 127kg at around 90kg bodyweight. PRE-ROIDS.
>so what you're essentially saying is increase intensity and decrease volume throughout the week? at a relatively high intensity standard
The Hepburn? No A-B-C are each indivdual programs to be done twice per week (M/Thurs with curl and bench and squat/high pull/deadlift on Tues/Fri). When you stall on C move onto B then A. This training put a lot of beef on me, but wasn't enough press training to increase my press.
Check out these websites foor old school press training:
>davidgentle dot come (go through the ebook section, the Hepburn book is there)
>ditillo2 dot blogspot dot come (google search it for press articles - loads of great content there)
The best bang for your buck books are by George Kirkley and Bill Watson. You'll fin d them for cheap on amazon/ebay easy.
wow thx for the input
