is he natty?
>>41240104
he looks natty, not sure about his strenght tho (dunno his prs)
>>41240104
he doesnt look unnatty and his lifts arent definitely within the "natty limit"
he is also a youtuber who wants to gain popularity and sell you shit tho. so maybe :^)
yes he is more than likely natty
people should stop underestimating natty guys. Does this guy is 6% with huge bulging muscles like Lazar Angelov/Simeon Panda type of shit? No man lmao, his size is very attainable in 1-2 years of working out
>Don't warm up before I workout with the exception of lighter weight before my main lift
>Don't stretch
>Don't foam roll
Is anyone else like this? Am I hurting anything by not doing any of this, or am I headed for snap city?
>>41240051
you should do stuff like band pull aparts and hip circles before you lift to get blood flow and joint fluid to those areas
but you should save your foam rolling/ stretching until after you lift. doing it before can lead to muscles being "loose" and can effect power production and can even cause injury
>inb4 broscience
I can pull up some shit from top powerlifters if you want, but Id rather not bother
OP I was the same. I didn't believe in it till I had two close encounters of small tears. My bicep (was good after 3 days) and my left forearm which I milked for 2 weeks. I was lucky but I highly suggest it. I do pull ups/chin ups now.
>>41240101
Are good bands expensive? My gym doesn't have them, and I've been meaning to purchase some additional stuff anyway. Also, wouldn't the light warm up sets I mentioned do a good enough job of getting blood flowing?
>>41240206
That's what I'm afraid of. I don't wanna fuck my shit up by not not doing something simple.
How do I unlock Sun-Ken Rock mode? Achieveable natty?

Cut hard.
Test and var bruh.

If I take roids can I smoke weed to not get so ragey?
Anyone tried it?

whats the point in lifting if you'll only live another 6 years anyway?
Deadlifts. I fucking hate them.
I love squatting heavy, I love benching heavy or pressing heavy, but I can never enjoy a session with deadlifts. I have to rest for 3 - 5 minutes between sets, where as i can get away with 2 minutes of rest between sets of heavy squats
What can I do to begin enjoying my deadlift sessions?

Imagine you're lifting the car your waifu is trapped under
>sets
>deadlifts
what
>>41239927
>>What can I do to begin enjoying my deadlift sessions?
Just don't do them, they aren't needed for anything
Exactly this. Once I reach 1/2/3/4 plates. How do you manage to maintain that strenght while you build proficency in jiu jitsu for example? Specifically would be the frequency volume and intensity in both disciplines. If anyone has experience in this I would apreciate any advice.
Thanks!
By continuing lifting.
1:2:3:4 is just intermediate levels
I usually separate days I lift and train. 3 days of training and 3 days of lifting.
>>41239925
But you are not telling me anything with that. Suppose you lift Mon Wed Fri, if you train MMA Tue and Thu you will be beat up by friday, and add to the mix that you are doing Texas Method and you will never progress unless you are eating like a fucking animal.
Why do people work out their traps?
Traps look like shit, no one thinks having a huge buffalo neck is attractive.
There is literally no reason to work out your traps if you're aiming for aesthetics.
because otherwise it looks like someone placed my head on a shelf
>>41239738
t. necklet
>>41239738
because traps are a muscle that is used when pulling. grow traps = lift heavier
>start curling
>biceps are actually growing for once
Wtf, is strength training actually a meme?
Wtf /fit/ ?? Isolation actually works and is not broscience?? wtf I thought the only way to get big was with compounds but I now look the best I've ever looked after doing some isolations
Well aren't you dumb.
You find it surprising that training a muscle makes the said muscle grow?
Nobody does strenght training if they are going for aesthetics dummy.
>>41239661
compounds + isolation is optimal
compoinds heavy, push weights up assertively
then do your isos. focus more on muscular fatigue or whatever bullshit. judt keep form good, slow control, less argressive with weight increases, butnstillvprogress
>>41239689
This
Main focus on progression should be on compounds done with powerlifting orientated form
Then add in Isos and do 10-20 reps
I did fucking SS for ages and got real strong but didn't do any Isos
Looked a little better when I switched to 5/3/1 which has more accessories
Just started Sheiko which with the volume and a few arm sets here and there should be good to go
What's the point in training 3/4 days a week if you don't even look like you lift
Isn't it weird how none of the people in concentration camps showed any signs of genes making their bodies at least slightly fatter than the rest even though they were on the same "diet"?
>>41239610
Show some respect 6 million people died in those camps
>>41239610
I don't think anyone on /fit/ would defend that weight is determined by genetics regardless of diet. Only fat fucks in denial and retarded SJWs believe that shit.
>inb4: genetics do influence body comp and, to a much lesser extent, caloric needs. But still nothing beats calories in, calories out.
>>41239610
No, it's not at all weird. Metabolic differences in humans is only like 300 cal max. And starving is starving, 500 cal a day will turn anyone skeleton
Anyone here quit smoking? Im about 2 weeks in and I gotta say I feel like horse shit. Im constantly coughing up stuff and I continously have a running nose. I basically feel like I have a mild flu. I looked up the withdrawal symptoms and supposedly what im going through is normal. My question is has anyobe gone through wth this and is there anthing that I can do to curb the withdrawals?
>>41239587
chew lots of gum for the oral fixation and to curb the hunger cravings, drink lots of water for the inevitable headache, drink hot thyme tea with lots of honey against the coughs (it will maybe worsen for the first few days but then improve). besides that, good luck.
>>41239587
I went through the same thing. Chew a lot of gum and stay busy. I cleaned and organized my apartment obsessively to keep my hands busy.
>>41239587
Don't give in, your lungs will feel so much better in 3 months time and it will be noticeable.
Alright /fit/ why did you lie to me
>be me going to gym with friend I haven't seen in a long time
>he's swole af (natty) no homo
>does a brosplit and basically half reps everything
>>41239339
roids
>>41239339
You can do all kinds of strange workouts once you establish a strength base (2/3/4).
>>41239395
kek. literally everyone except rip and some riptards agrees that beginners should do high volume and hypertrophy stuff.
what can i add to ss to replace power cleans and build a big butt?
>>41239204
Light deadlifts
>>41239204
just do SL it's objectively better
>>41239368
and you're objectively a retard
Ask someone whos been working out for 3 months anything
Why haven't you been eating for those three months?
>>41239055
I have been. I've been so full actually, everyday. I've come to the conclusion that I just have crazy genetics where I can't gain any weight, I just burn it all off instantly.
>>41239073
>genetics
lmao no
You counting calories? I'd bet my socks you aren't.
/fit/ , what's your poison?
>gimme bottle o' whiskey.
>>41238967
I like protein.
Craft beer. I work at two breweries, it makes cutting a bit harder but not impossible.
>>41238967
unfortunately everything.
not quite alcoholic yet (i think), but can't moderate. Everytime i buy a bottle of whiskey with the intent to use it to appreciatingly sip , i finish the bottle in three days..
Where do i find selfcontrol /fit/
though favourite poisons in general are beers in all shapes and forms.
should i bulk or cut?
You should work out.
>>41238960
i do bro twice a day eat chicken vegitables protein mass gainers suplements from my coath pj i do bro lots stop hating bro shut thefuck up
>>41238995
Ok, I still think you need to work out some more.
