Fuck.
Fif, how do I develop iron bones?
Im fucking skinny and my bones are weak and small I guess, to add to that im 5'9.
I want to gain more weight and muscle and start boxing, but my bones feel fcking weak and fragile.
I'm 19.
Please if you can help me out, im anxious as fuck.
Compound lifts, calcium and biotin strengthen your bones but don't expect immediate results it will take years to strengthen bones but you are still young so it might go faster
Squat and deadlift heavy and use makiwara and shinbags

Alright, anything else /fit?
Natural muscle gain potential is so small that it's not even worth training/eating 100% properly.
Why would I care about gaining an extra 2 or 3 pounds of muscle for a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge amount of extra effort? It's a huge waste of time/energy/effort to actually train and eat properly as a natural.
It's actually retarded how serious some of you people take lifting when you're a fucking natty and can barely gain much muscle to begin with. You honestly think perfecting your routine and diet is some how going to give you "magic" tier gains, over someone who just does a bro-split and eats whatever? Nope, sorry, not going to happen. Anybody who believes that fell for the half-natty meme.

I'm actually someone that has been lifting for over 5 years.
I spent my first 3 years super autistically tracking every macronutrient/calorie, and I also did the science-tier based routines, high frequency, specific training blocks throughout the year, autistic tier levels of periodisation. I did all of that shit.
After years of doing that I eventually lost interest as it stopped being fun, and just got too serious for me. I had to make the decision to either quit lifting/eating like a autist, or relax on all of that, switch to a typical bro-split, and eat whatever I want.
Funnily enough I didn't lose any size or strength, and the muscle I gained over the 3 years of autistically tracking everything didn't fall off.
This entire experience made me realise I had just spent 3 years doing completely pointless restriction, austim and pointlessly running extremely hard routines for zero extra benefits. I literally put 0% effort into diet now, and 0% effort into routine and I literally look exactly the same as I did when I was putting in all that extra effort.

Why do some olympic lifters look like absolute dogshit, yet some look jacked af. case in point Ilya Ilyin on the left and Klokov on the right. They are both world elite olympic lifters, yet have vastly different bodies
Genetics
Genetics
That picture of Ilya is pretty bad, IIRC it was taken in his off-season while he was taking time off to recover for an injury.
Different nationalities have different training methodogies, for example the Chinese do a lot of bodybuilding work, and they're all manlets so they look jacked as fuark. Klokov also does a lot of BB work and cross fit stuff
People who have no calves: are you retarded? there is nothing magical about the calf muscle, try fucking working it properly you dope
>>41116768
B-but genetics !
I guess all pro bodybuilders Who have problems building them are Just memeing
Ex-fatass here. The only benefit I got from all those years being a fat fuck is big calves.

Do you guys work your core with "isolation exercises" (i think those are isolation exercises) like leg raises, planks, crunches etc. or are you the type that thinks OHP, Squats, Deadlifts are enough? I am fairly new to lifting (less than 3 months)and i don't know if i should add some "abs" exercises after my workout.
>>41116648
I do a some planks and oblique work at the end of my workout
Just side leans with heavy dumbbells, and planks
ez
>>41116648
I can do 20 x 5 on the Roman chair. I'm about to add weighs to it. I started barely being able to do 8 x 4 and that's the only ab workout I do really so it must be pretty good.
You gym should have a Roman chair, if not you can get one off Craigslist for like $50.
5x10 ab wheel once a week

they need to cover a larger range of demographics for it to be really conclusive.
I drink around a pot of black coffee a day regardless though.
My friends believe you need to do cardio and ab workouts to get a 6pack, when all you really need to do is eat less calories than you burn. How do i inform them they are simply fucking wrong?
Message them
Perhaps talk to them, using words
There are other methods

Nature of the beast. Use micro plates and be strict on form.
>>41116329
volume and pause reps
also micro plates
>>41116329
Deload if you haven't already.
Try working at 55-60% of your 1rm to accumulate lots of volume with high rep quality.
Focus on not just pressing the weight, but keeping your form clean as fuck and not grinding reps out.
Stay like 4-5 reps shy of failure.
I can't squat without standing on my toes when I go down. Is that ok or should I give up squatting?
>>41116312
that is not ok, learn how to squat
Do front squats instead
>>41116357
I literally can't, my ass can't go down more than slightly above knee level when my whole feet is on the ground, I have to stand on my toes or else I drop balance.
