The other QTDDTOT thread is border dead
I can bench my Bodyweight and OHP 60% of my bodyweight but I can't do dips or pull ups
Anyway to fix this?
Repost from old ded thred, hope it's ok.
How do I know if I'm overtraning? Is overtraining not just a meme?
I do normally six days per week training, around 40-60 minutes each time. I'm very light on free time so I tend to take minimal breaks between sets. Is this too much? Yesterday I just wasn't able to do anything and I feel tired all the time, but I don't know if that's related to my workouts.
Do I have to touch my chest when bench pressing? Or is a few inches above my chest fine?
>>42684817
Touching your chest is best lest you risk being a half-repping faggot.
>>42684627
How wide is your grip while benching? Dips is more tricep-heavy so that could be the issue.
Can't do pull-ups? Either you're not strong enough or your lats are lacking. Do chin-ups instead with grip just a bit over shoulder width.
>during bulk you have to eat on surplus for optimal gains, even if you get fatter
>that fat will be removed with cutting, together with some muscle tho
what's the point then? shouldnt i just eat the right amount and stay in the grey zone?

Lifting muscles doesn't get easier but only eating each serving of protein will increase its body composition

LISTEN UP
If you are one of those people who takes hours to fall asleep, wakes up in the middle of the night, gets a seriously fragmented sleep or has any other sleeping problem this post is for you. This is how you fix your sleeping habits. If you do all this stuff I PROMISE you will improve your sleeping and you will be better off mentally, physically and spiritually. You probably won't even need to do all of the steps, and for most people just doing the first two or three will likely result in better sleeping.
STEP ONE:
Use your bed ONLY for sleep and sex. Don't read, eat or lay in bed thinking, and most importantly NEVER use your laptop or phone in bed. This alone is probably enough to fix most sleeping problems.
STEP TWO:
Keep your room cool at night. If you are cold, put more blankets on the bed, but don't put too much clothing on or you will get too hot and either won't be able to fall into a deep sleep or will spend the night going in and out of a very light sleep. My suggestion is to only wear undies and a t shirt to bed. Try to have the window open a little bit to get air flowing through the room.
STEP THREE:
Have a hot shower or bath before bed time, then go into your cool room and let your body temperature drop for a little while before getting into bed. This temperature drop is important. It's one of your body's signals that you need to start producing more melatonin.
STEP FOUR:
Meditate. If you've tried all of the above and you're still not sleeping properly, you will probably need to do some extra measures. I'll expand on a few you can try in this post, but meditation is the best one of these. You can meditate whenever you'd like throughout the day, but some time at night when you come home from work/school/whatever and need to de-stress is best. Make sure you do it every day. Guided meditations are great for beginners. Insight timer is a great app that has many free guided meditations.
>not using phone in bed
too hard
>>42684597
STEP FIVE:
Have a light snack before going to bed, like a banana or a warm glass of milk. Some people can't sleep because their blood sugar drops too low while they are in bed. You can also do this if you wake up in the middle of the night, and you should fall asleep again quickly. Ultimately, you will need to fix your blood sugar problems.
STEP SIX
Try a natural sleeping supplement. There are lots out there that work to varying degrees. Below is a list of them, going from most common to least common.
>Magnesium - calms the brain. Generally a good thing to take everyday even if you don't have sleeping problems.
>Melatonin - useful if you have trouble falling asleep, but not for other types of insomnia. Take 1mg or less when you get into bed. If it doesn't work the first time it's likely not going to work.
>Valerian - mildly sedating herb. Didn't work for me but seems to work for other people.
>5HTP - increases serotonin, which leads to increased melatonin, less anxiety and less depression. Take in the morning for a couple of weeks to feel the effects.
>Inositol - similar to the above.
>GABA - Doesn't work for everyone, but if it works, it works. Like a natural benzodiazepine but without side effects. Can also be used for day time anxiety.
>Marijuana/CBD oil - I don't use these but some people do. I'd personally go for CBD oil over marijuana any day, as it has way less side effects.

I haven't been on this site in a good few years since i began studying sports science but i came back to tell you to get fucked.
Get fucked to the people giving bullshit advice and spreading the worst information possible. I actually listened to that shit.
To any people new to lifting on here, dont listen to these cunts.
>>42683725
>makes thread
>gives no useful information
Yep, definitely a sport science student
>>42683869
the useful information is to not go to /fit/ for fitness advice
>>42683725
Aight lil niglet, tell me od your secrets and what BS advice there been
What does /fit/ think of my meal planner to lose weight with?
1 breakfast choice, 1 smoothie choice, 2 meal choices each day.
>>42683059
Meals are good but too many, you need a defecit. Also cut out the honey. Don't eat any sugar whatsoever, that includes very sugary or carby fruits like grapes or apples or bananas, though definitely eat vegetables, trying to avoid onions. Your supposed to be hungry and a good bit miserable when losing weight. I lost 50 pounds one summer, cardio is also very important not just for the diet itself but for your mental discipline.
>>42683059
I should also mention that fats are good for losing weight. I didn't drink whole milk because it has sugar, but I ate a lot of butter and cheese. There is research showing that when people were told to eat 1500 calories a day, one group having a fat diet and one group having a carb diet, the fat diet group burned considerably more calories a day than the carb diet group.
>>42683310
Cheers brother, I'll cut down the portions a bit, and replace the honey and banana with something else.
I need it. Share your feels on this blessed day.
>"best friend" made moves on my crush despite knowing I liked her, despite being in relationship himself.
>tfw she responded
He was my bro from another mo' and now I lost a friend and a crush, in few days.
I don't even know how to feel.
It hurts a lot on several levels.
Looking back I see he never really respected me, he acted a fool and used my trust. I now start to see the big picture. I wish I was not such a naive idiot.
It hurts to be angry at him, I don't like anger. I don't have anything against the girl, but I expected more from him.
She doesn't owe me love. But my friend owed me respect. What are friends for otherwise?
He could've told me he liked her too. He could've not cock blocked me that weekend. If I knew he liked her Id be ok - fair play. Id even have his back with his gf. That kind of guy I am.
Obviously a very naive type of guy.
God saves us all.
>>42683046
Fuck man, that sucks. Not sure what kind of person would do something like that but I'd probably try and get my distance from them both. Go travelling or something. Meet some new people and have some awesome experiences. I had something similar happen to me recently and I moved to Australia for a year.
>>42683046
It's shit that your "friend" did a shitty thing but don't fall into the trap of thinking anyone owes you anything. Everybody looks out for themselves and really you can't hate for him making a move when you were to scared too.
Keeping it fitness related im hijacking this thread with pic related goal bodies plz
>>42683046
Hmm... How well did you actually know him? I fear I've been in his shoes before with a friend who I saw a lot of things that were worthy of respect in, but not a desire to improve himself in ways that would make him more attractive to women. Though he never told me he was into the fem in question, he said they were friends, so your situation may be different.
can you beat this cringe?

Is 28 too old to make it? Not just in fitness, but in life.
Depends do you believe you'll ever get over what you feel you missed out on in your youth?
>>42682076
What are you up to now, anon? What do you consider "making it"?
Chances are, probably not, I can't imagine you're precluded from making it at 28 unless you're a multiple time felon.
