Am I doing something wrong?
>>41459630
shit mobility, the weight just presses you down in to position more. enjoy your injury.
>>41459630
Weight pushing against your back makes it easier to balance.
Bar doesn't have weight is harder to control.
"Getting a feel of the weight" is something you hear often in powerlifting.

I can't do a proper squat, /fit/.
I'm a total novice at lifting, and I thought that it was just because my body wasn't used to these movements.
After a week or so of doing nothing but trying to improve my form with just the bar, I still can't comfortably get my legs parallel or lower.
My problem is that my lower back doesn't seem to be flexible enough to keep my chest up and my ass out. Trying to go parallel is painful, and I don't want to risk any injury.
What the hell am I doing wrong?
I can post videos if necessary.
>>41458900
Highly doubt it's your lower back flexibility that's the problem.
Mobility tends to be the problem, though. Ankles, hamstrings, and hip flexors are the big ones, so work on stretching those.
Best bet is to get a coach.
Do bodyweight squats daily for a week. Do the same for goblet squats. Look up some yoga and shit. You need to learn how to move.
Your torso doesn't need to be vertical unless you're front squatting.
The bar needs to be over your midfoot (midway between the back of your heel and your metatarsal joint). If that means you've got to lean forward a bit so be it. Just don't let your lower back round and you'll be fine.
On August 1st I'm going on vacation.
I have 3 months to get in the most aesthetic shape of my life.
What's a good routine strictly for looks?
No bullshit SS.
6'0" 160lbs
Looking for routines that focuses on great definition, not strengt necessarily.
Thanks.
>>41458693
never gonna make it
>>41458693
Just a regular PPL program dawg as long as you're consistent you'll look pretty decent after 3 months
>>41458718
>PPL
thats like the new fitness industry catch phrase workout right?
Is the 'peak' body form unnatural?
It takes so much work to get to peak physical condition. Greek god body etc.
The likes of Bale or Afflefk in the Batman roles had to punish their bodies to look good. Yet they look terrible the moment they stop training?
Does this mean our natural human optimum form isn't to be ripped. But rather to be skinny, or simply fatt?
Secondary question. Why doesn't the muscle just stay as it is..why does it always sag. If it was natural to have muscles they'd stay that way.
who cares about nature
fuck nature
theyre actors so unless they train they have almost nothing physical they habe to do
>>41458602
they take roids+hgh, after the movie they stop taking it and training.
Could you tell me what type of body she have?
This body type is "Possibly Pregnant but dont congratulate her just incase she isnt"
>>41458839
kek
>>41458569
that's "finna get smashed" mode
i already lost 25 lbs, but it is boring af.
>>41458375
Boring? Change your mindset pussy
ps: pic related
>>41458380
this, who cares if it's boring do you like the results? then keep going
calories/food counting is probably second nature to you at this point so idk see you'd bother making the effort to give that up, and if you don't like whatever exercise you're doing, find something else you enjoy and think you'll keep at after losing weight
also congrats on your progress so far anon
>TFW you realise that the proper way to breath into your "stomach" to brace your core was to inhale with your nose instead of your mouth
Wtf why didnt I know earlier.
XDDD GREAT POST FRIEND
>>41458105
Shut the fuck up faggot
Yeah I hate when they found out Im a human and my mouth and nose pipes joint together making this useless
How can I achieve a body like the guy on the right? Is it natty? Is "the big five" a good workout routine in that case?
>>41457622
hes not natty.
That black sun on his pec is pretty aesthetic.
you achieve that body by lifting heavy for 5+ years with a balanced routine and having over 15% bodyfat
>wake up at 6.30
>Leave house at 6.50
>Gym at 7.45 (next to work)
>Working out by 7.50
>Finished high working session at 8.40
>Showered and done by 8.55
>Grab a coffee and in work by 9.10
Yes, I know what your going to say, short session, but lads here, once again are some easy tips to increase efficiency in the gym
>Don't speak to your buddies in the gym
>Spend less time looking at yourself in the mirrors and walking around
>Don't listen to music or bring your phone in
>No shower fap
>Spend less time walking around the changing room with your penis out and drying it
Take this for example, one guy this morning in my gym , the whole time I was there,might have done about 10 minutes of work out. He would have have to send at least 3 hours plus to do what I done. So much wasted time.
Lads, with these tips, maybe one day you (you) could be in the morning gym elite
>what is nutrition
you need breakfast mang
5:15 am Central time here, just drank my pre-workout before and squeezing my routine in before work orientation. I'll probably feel like shit by the end of it but we're all gonna make it.
>>41458508
>you need breakfast
Are rest days a meme? I never feel like I need to rest, nor do I like taking a day off from exercise.
If they're necessary, what do you guys do during your rest days? Light cardio?
not jack shit
perhaps a walk
>>41457532
You're clearly clearly not pushing yourself hard enough in the gym then
if you don't see the need for rest days you're not training hard enough. if you train hard enough you'll see a steady decline in performance if you don't give yourself enough time to recover.
Which form of meditation do you guys do?
masturbatory
It's all the same shit if you're doing it right.
>>41457465
This.
I turn down the lights and crank up my surround sound and blast whatever porn I'm watching while I vigorously beat my meat into submission until I reach nirvana
Not doing neck bridges, as if you want to look like a fucking dyel.
Those are clearly neck benches, you idiot.
>>41457360
I do weighted neck extensions at the gym. That really was the point when I had to accept I don't go to the gym to look good at the gym. If you think hip thrusts are awkward wait till you try these.
But the gains are fucking amazing and I can't stop.
>>41458060
wait what
What good is it for?
just started stronglifts 5x5, but the problem is I can't do a squat, not even a bodyweight squat. my quads are extremely tight from months of sitting around, and sometimes it even fucks up my gait. been folding my legs while sitting and doing squats as deep as I can and stretching them morning and night and beginning to see some progress, but sick of having to skip legs in the gym. anyone have any advice?
stretch and stop sitting down all day
please respond
