I have been doing bro splits for 8 months i added noticable amount of mass but my lifts suck. SS is a beginner program but im not a beginner anymore so will i make better strength gains? Are there any other programs where i could make noticable strength gains even if not beginner?
>>41090458
Switch to any real program, doesn't have to be ss. Sl, greyskull, ppl, then stick with it until you completely stop making gains.
>>41090501
Thanks, i will add some accessories and try out either SS or SL.

Don't make me laugh
>bench isn't perfectly perpendicular to the bar
>it's bolted in place
>Bench isn't aligned with the tiling on the ceiling
>The sides are covered in extra plates so it's too heavy to push aside
>squat rack faces the mirror
>No strawberry nutri-grain bars in vending machine
Do you guys rerack the bar after you're done bench pressing?
No, I chuck it on the floor like an alpha.
No I put it in my bag and go home
no i deadlift the bar then lay down and scoot it into position
no rack required
>another day wasted on 4chan instead of doing something productive

/fit/ thoughts on water fasting/detox for weight loss?
>>41090045
Fasting is good as long as you don't become an anorexic. It can help get your insulin levels all fixed up
>>41090045
if you're fat you'll likely not have the willpower to fast anyway and will end up bingeing
I did it just fine.
Have any of you found some sort of happiness through fitness? I am a healthy weight dude, 21, who is desperate to find some semblance of happiness in his life.
Recently I starting taking supplements hoping they could help me be happy but I have had to start cutting back... I do light exercise everyday and want to know if heavy exercise, lifting and cardio, could help me be happy...
So, have any of you found more confidence and expanded your social circles as a result of getting fit?
>>41090018
Got more confident, expanded social circles, started doing better in school, and started being happier. All after I started lifting, maybe it wasn't so much the lofting as it was the discipline and confidence it instills, but it works for me either way.
Well I am a 27 yr old 6'0 210 lb dude who has no interest in being a twig nor being a tank, Just build upon my current foundation and it is progeessingly pretty good honestly.
I do weight lifting 6 times a week with moderate cardio 3 days a week after my weight training.
I enjoy the burn. I enjoy the feeling of working my ass off. I found that it relieves tension and stress. Let it all out.
If you're going to do cardio, do it after weight training every couple days. I recommend it personally.
Wonderful feeling :)
>>41090018
Cardio cures depression dude.
forget any plan, just go outside and start running as fast as you can and you'll see. it feels so fucking good.
So basically I need help for what to do. All I know is that I want to use the stationary bike for cardio. Everything else I have no clue. Thanks

ITT Happy Lifting Stories
All you faggots are constantly bitching about genetics, mires, height, weight, etc.
Be positive, tell me happy stories of when lifting was awesome.
I'm getting to be an oldfag. I'm 37. But I still lift. I have no home life, I have few friends, I have a demanding job that Takes up the majority of my time. Shit sucks.
Lifting is my outlet. My back relaxes, my neck isn't stiff. Soreness is a substitute for being stiff and uncomfortable. It lowers my stress level, it makes the rest of my shitty life much more manageable. I don't lift for the mires or stacies or anything else. I get to lift for me. Every time I get an extra 5lbs up it makes every lift before it seem so easy. I remember back to when I first started lifting and how difficult even low weights were. My 1rm's are now my warmups.
I squatted 320x10 two days ago just to see if I could. And I thought yesterday was going to be light/recovery, but I ended up PRing a 510 DL.
I went home and ate a celebratory meal of corn dogs, sushi, and coconut water, and had the best night's sleep I've had in years.
>>41089982
>Be me, 18 year old who has poor self esteem
>Kinda hate my physical condition; I stopped jogging too for dumb reasons
>Get a gym membership
>Start lifting
>It's lots of fun
>I have some muscle now; in photos I look like absolute shit, but in person I look OK. Like a normie
>Going to the gym is fun, I actually enjoy lifting
>Curls and skullcrushers are my favourite, but Squats are fun too
>Uni hits, and I stop lifting. Go to shit again. I don't drive, and uni is over an hour by transport each way, and the gym is about 30 mins by public transport fromy my house, so I don't have the time with work and gf
>Skellyfag friend who I tried to get lifting for literally months messages me out of the blue a few weeks ago
>Tells me he wasnts to start lifting regularly
>Tells me he knows I know quite a bit about form, and offers to give me lifts as much as possible
>We've been going regularly; haven't missed a session yet, and even been able to go for extra cardio sessions
>Even tried a meme workout; we did Athlean X's 1 inch arm pump thing for a laugh, lots of fun
>We do ICF 5x5, and although the gains are slow, our form is easily better than most of the people in our gym
>I'm really enjoying the feeling of hitting perfect depth on a squat with just a little more weight than last week
>Unrelated, but got a really good blowjob from my gf last night
It feels pretty fucking good. To me lifting isn't some weird cult or a religion; it's a thing I do when I'm bored, and it's a lot of fun. And that's pretty fucking awesome for me.

Absolutely. He's also straight.

Is anything legal in Australia worth taking, or should I just risk importing Bronkaid?
>Fat burners
Top kek. Count your calories and/or reduce your carb intake.
Or if you want to flirt death, use DNP. Anavar is also a lovely illegal substance thst delivers lipolysis.
>>41089911
Mostly just after something similar to ECA
>>41089880
Kek, nothing is legal here. Import some clen and do more cardio.

Is it dumb to give up on trying to get with girls, making friends or even have a relationship at age 30?
I thank you guys for getting me far in lifting. I'm not the biggest guy in the gym but I'm in a hell of a lot better position than I was 2 years ago.
But socially I suck. My dad used to verbally abuse every mistake I made by calling me a mistake, useless, repeatedly asking God why he gave him a son like me, worse things I don't want to mention, etc. I think that has had an effect on my confidence on asking girls out, but I don't want to blame anyone else for my failures. I'm lost.
youre 30 dude quit thinking about what daddy said and start hitting up girls.
just forget about your anxiety and if you feel you made a retarded mistakes just keep moving onto the next girl and you are bound to find one who will accept you.
she may be fat so you could try to mold her into an acceptable gf.
also dont exclude 18-25 year olds.
Yes.
People form relationships, and get married, at all ages.
>>41089305
>also dont exclude 18-25 year olds
I exclusively think about them. But yeah, I have to find a way to move past that past of mine.

Why does every single manlet have a Napoleon complex?
>>41089075
Fuck you you lanklet piece of Hapsburg shit, you probably think Prussia nad Holy Roman Empire are countires. Louis XVI was tall too but now he's a head shorter than everybody
>>41089075
Because manlets are the last group left where it's not just ok, but CELEBRATED to hate and discriminate against
How is this even napoleon complex? He's just posting a selfie in the mirror. Or is pic unrelated? kek
