I'm a noob who has been lifting for a few months on no particular routine and I just ordered mark's book from amazon, what am I in for?
squats and milk
I do three sets of chin-ups to failure every workout session. Is this a bad idea?
>>41092163
Nah this is good. It'll help keep your shoulders healthy and give you gud bicepts gains. Keep doing it as long as it doesn't interfere with your progress.
Don't be a Chestasaurus, roll for an amount of pull ups you have to do
> can do chin ups all day.
> struggle with pull ups.
What do? I use neutal grip for both
>>41091854
Stop doing chinups like a little bitch, you only do them because they're easier, and theres a reason they're so easy, because they're for bitches.

>tfw too heavy to pullup
its hard to pull up 200lb when you can only bench 165
Can you really consider yourself natty while taking protein shakes?
Can you really consider yourself natty when lifting equipment made in factorys and using machines you could not create yourself?
>>41091795
That's actually a great question. And I think the answer is 'no'.
>>41091765
Can you really consider yourself natty when you're eating gmo's every meal?
this pic sums up every noob lifter that lifts for aesthethics and thinks SS is a meme

This too
>>41091503

is OP trying to force meme himself?
>awkward gym moments
KYS
What do you think of my hips and my midsection?
I'm scared that my hips are big and I'll look like a tranny if I'll lose weight and just expose them.
What do you think?
Kys faggot.
Never post here again
I dub thee, babbyboner
>>41090989
Fuck off
Is this stuff just a meme? Anyone who has tried this stuff. Did it help you focus? Help increase your work ethic? Is it a good pre-workout?
>>41090951
turned my frogs gay 0/10 would not buy again
>>41090951
I have bought some other stuff from alex which im happy with(in particular a Propur waterfilter to filter chemicals and fluoride out of my tap water). but i wouldn't recommend SMV(SuperMale Vitality). Admittedly i have never tried it, but the price tag is just too much. unless you are a richfag wouldn't recommend
>>41091329
> he actually bought a water filter
Anyone here who has experience with tendonitis?
I've had it in my thumb area since december and the pain is fucking killing my life, I can hardly do any day to day activities without this swollen, painful piece of shit hand making my life miserable..
I havent worked out in a year now but I do ride horses and the doctor said that the tendonitis is a result of the constant pulling of the leash. I cannot give up riding as it is basically what gives my life meaning and I own 2 horses.
I've been getting injected with- and taken anti flamatory pills but nothing seems to help. as soon as the swollenness chills out a bit, some stupid small thing like a tiny pull og that I sleep on it kickstarts it all over again.
WHAT DO PLZ HELP IM MISERABLE
bump of pain and misery
It shouldn't be permanent. I was PTing in the Navy (dumb ass gym regulations, no certified "trainer" aboard our station) and tried deadlifting with an EZ curl bar.
>inb4 dumbass
Anyway, got tendonitis for 2 months on my left wrist. Was prescribed some stuff (tramadol, ibuprofen) and it never came back since. I also had a brace for it. Let it rest and don't strain it, it should go away and shouldn't come back. If it does, rinse and repeat, i.e. let it rest.
>>41090979
its swollen constantly for almost half a year now. it's probably because I keep riding the horse which is what fucked it up in the first place, but at this point in my life I can't just quit until I'm better. how long did you rest before it was gone for good? did you do any exercises?
>see some of my old bullies from middle school in the gym
>they are both fucking manlets
(I'm 173cm and they were shorter than me)
>also weak as fuck (they were benching like 40kg for reps)
>find a 50kg plate
>pick it up and throw it in front of them
>"lift that" i say
>they both try to lift it but neither can get it off the ground
>pick it up, put it over my head and start doing OHP with it
>walk away
Felt so good
You should have beaten the shit out of them fag
lying will not set you on the path to making it
>>41090918
>middle school
Just tried doing my first push-ups and I couldn't do more than 6 without needing a break.
>>41090901
Yep. Try again tomorrow, it builds extremely quickly at first
>>41090901
well.
do 6 more then.
that's how you get better. you challenge yourself and overcome obstacles both outside and within yourself.
>>41090901
Thats okay, really. Every step counts. Do try again, always push for more. You can make it

Apparently it's a thing
>>41090804
these complete idiots have no domain knowledge of bodybuilding aesthetics
also the entire principle that they are never satisfied with their accomplishments is intrinsic to humanity
literally everyone that isnt a passionless weed is like this about the thing they do
rome wasnt built on moderation
>>41090804
Of course its a thing.
Going to /fit/ or other fitness forums makes it worse because everyone lies which pushes the average up to inflated numbers and people compare themselves constantly to roided massive freaks.
If you lift and avoid fitness sites you'll feed huge next to average noodle arm people.
>>41090804
>Apparently it's a thing
There are people on /fit/ that believe height is a a key factor in the social ladder, but they don't believe body dismorphia exists.
> watching porn
> guy lifts girl while fucking
> "woah he must b bretty strong, let me look at his arms"

you've ruined me
These thoughts have replaced my need to watch porn

So I'm sort of a babyface like pic related. I was watching the Star Wars celebration shit when it dawned on me this dude has barely aged in 15 years. Am I too destined to be forever unmanly?
Its better to look like him than to look like a dying cunt in your 30's

Clean your sheets. Clean towels. Soft water.
Maybe go to a dermatologist instead of the internet?

>>41090471
That running time is actually quite slow
>>41090471
Everything except the pullups
I can only do 3 pull ups and 8 chin ups. I am a weakling
