Can I cut any meaningful amount of fat in three weeks?
>>42725692
It depends on how aggressive you are. You can water fast for three weeks a lose a legit 25 pounds
>>42725771
preferably while maintaining a reasonable amount of strength/muscle
>>42725692
Yes. 3-5 lbs.
Can the barbell be substituted with dumbbells for deadlifts? The dumbbells here go up to 150lbs each which is more than I'll ever need.

hahahahahahhaahahahahahahahahhahahahahaahahaahhaahhaahhaahahahha
you'd basically be doing a squat.
why can't you use the barbell? are you going to post some autistic excuse about how your finger tips are sensitive or how weilding large objects triggers you into an episode?
use that weird bar you stand in the middle instead
i only use barbel for 1rm
Hey guys new here and to weight lifting. First time posting long time lurking. Well today I finally mustered up the courage to walk into the gym and I have taken notes on everything I have learned from this site. Everything went went today except when I was leaving I made sure to tip the receptionist $2 cause it is all I had on me and she gave me a very horried/confused look.... did I just tip too little? I don't know if I can afford to dish out a monthly membership fee and tipping $5 every time I go to the gym.
Any help will be appreciated.
Your tip should be at least 25% the daily cost of the membership, do the math.
>>42725504
Hello.
I'm glad you too notes.
You might of tipped too little.... an expected rate is roughly 20% of your monthly membership. So unless you're using planet fitness you need to up your tip.
As for it being expensive. You should consider doing a 6 day routine. If you see them everyday they won't expect as much everytime.
I did not know going to the gym would be this expensive, I might just have to cancel my membership at the end of the month

Ok guys i got bored of dooing linear shit like 5x5 and those bullshit, i was getting gains but i have a fucked up shoulder so i cant go as heavy as i wish on dips so i started doing this:
Lift by mood
I would mix pull ups with dips, sometimes id go to failure sometimes not, sometimes id go heavy then light ane so, its a funny way to workout and prevents boredom, i started it some days ago and looks like im starting getting strenght gains
Someone does the same ? Like going your own way and mixing a schedule ?
>>42725345
I do the same when I get bored of my current routine. I'll do that for a month or two, then when im re-energized ill start a ppl or just a brosplit
>gets bored with steady progress

enjoy your random meme shit and little gains. I'll just be over here gaining as much strength you do in a year, in 6 months.
>>42726559
Lol who cares about strenght, im stronger than everyone anyways
>There are people who still don't run a quads, posterior chain, upper body split instead of ppl
Why
>>42725220

How much did you gain with NoFap?
>>42725180
I stopped cranking it for awhile and then couldn't get a boner when I needed it.
Still lifting regularly, but I try to force myself to fap at least once every three days or so. Probably have low testosterone.
>>42725180
If i dont fap i will wake up in the middle of the with hard as fuck erection and wont be able to sleep back unless i jerk off
Always fapped and always made gains so idc, no fap is a big ass mene
After your 60s you will not fap or have sex anymore and not because of that you will get gainz but arthrithis and all these things olds have
>>42725240
Oh look. It's our favorite porn industry/blog shill and his list of stupid bullshit.

Pack it up bois
At a certain point you get so strong that the only way to safely 1000+ pounds is to be a little fat.
How can I train my rotator cuffs, posterior delts, lower, and middle traps?
Buy some of those big balls/sacks filled with sand and throw them around. Ranging from 1 to like 10kg.
Have you tried a barbell row
>>42725169
Like "wall balls" or whatever. Must be the most complete form of exercise. You train every muscle.
Throw them sideways upwards and you work the delts and traps like mad.

ITT we post ideas for modifying the Texas Method.
I'm thinking about modifying the program to help my deadlift. See I've always been one of those freaks who's deadlift is dangerously close to my squat (and now I'm actually squatting more than I can deadlift), so I'm trying to modify this program to fix my weak deadlift. I want to start deadlifting twice a week instead of once a week. Right now I do heavy deadlifts on my volume day (day 1) and that's it. For more volume I want to the ort/mag deadlift plan to the program, so should I add these higher volume deads on my volume day and move heavy deads to intensity day (day 3) or just add the ort/mag deads on my intensity day? It would make more sense to do the higher volume ort/mag on volume day but then I'm worried about murdering my lower back with volume squats and volume deadlifts on the same day. And regardless of what I do, should the new deadlift sets I add on intensity day replace the power cleans or should I do them in addition to the power cleans?
Any suggestions?
>>42724763
help pls
>>42724763
Google "12 ways to skin the texas method"
>>42726077
thanks, that was a good place to start but it really said nothing relevant to me. It recommended halting deads on intensity day if you can't power clean, but that's not my problem. I'm proficient with in the power clean I just want to work more deadlifts into my program because I suck a those.
