Anyone else notice this about really muscular guys, even the god of bodybuilding himself?
Sure there are a ton of old pictures where he looked incredible with perfect lighting and just the right camera angle and pose.
But does such a physique always look that great? Back before the age if smartphone cameras and pics that could be taken anywhere anytime there had to be days even Arnold looked bloated or just not on his A game.
Are we comparing ourselves to a standard that never really was as impressive as the pictures and snapshots of carefully planned photos of the past lead us to believe?

Well /fit/, I have had my eyes opened. I am in terrible shape.
Help an anon out, please. Motivation, tips, routines, meals. Anything and everything to help me not be a humongous piece of shit.
STICKY
ss & gomad is a meme
>Anything and everything to help me not be a humongous piece of shit.
the fact that you made this post instead of actually reading the fucking sticky shows that your mindset is not correct and you will never make it if you don't change it
hey /fit/, maybe you can help with this. so I work manual labor and I've been having a weird issue with pain in my forearm for a few months.
the weird part is that the pain happens when I LET GO of a weight, not while carrying it.
the pain seems to be radiating so I can't tell exactly where it's coming from but I feel it somewhere along the middle of my forearm,
I haven't been to the gym in a while so I don't know if this will affect my deadlifts but I'm pretty sure it will.

Last year when I was remodeling the house, I had to use the jackhammer to remove old reinforced concrete walks. Bitches were about half foot thick, and ten times more resilient than asphalt. Anyway, after a week of hammering away at that shit, gripping with my right hand became painful. Couldn't do pull ups / lat pull downs, or hang on to a dumbbell heavier than 30 pounds.
It took a couple of months of not using the hand for anything heavier than my dick.

i feel a sharp pain on my carpi ulnaris, like someone is piercing my muscle when i do straight bar curls, even with the ez bar i also feel pain, but only when i drop the weight, if i do it really slowly, relax the muscle then move my wrist it doesn't hurt.
i think that the pain is caused by the pump+the position of the muscle on your wrists
Decompression pain can be caused by several things but it's likely tendons getting inflamed
Is hitting the gym just before a big exam okay ?
I'm passing the bar this friday afternoon so I have a bit of free time in the morning. Should I exercise to get dem' endorphines during the exams or will it just mentally exhaust me ?
Do cardio. Better blood flow for them thinkins
>>42675079
You aren't passing shit you retard. Read the fucking sticky
>>42675129
I meant "taking the bar", sorry.
I read it, there's nothing answering my question here but thanks anyway.
Daily reminder that the chicken you eat 7 days a week has faecal matter

Thanks dude now I know I'm feeding my body and my scat fetish
>>42675570
>(You)
Yeah we have this thing called heat which kills off the bacteria in the fecal matter.
I contracted ring worm and I know I can't go to the gym because I'll infect others. How the fuck do I cure this shit as fast as possible??? I'm wasting away.

Bitch, do you not know how to use google?
Just treat it a few times with some vinegar, or you can pickup an anti-fungal cream from your local pharmacy.

Those fuckers leave scars, how do I know if there's still fungi left or if it's just an empty scar?
Training for six months now. 1m80 66kg. Made consequent lifting progress but can't get rid of those boobs. What do ?
Its probably gyno, train upper chest only and you can make it look smaller.
At one point I would need a surgery then ?
>>42675327
No if you lose fat (i.e cut) and train upper chest. Nobody will give a fuck anyway, if it haunts you and you have the money then sure go ahead do it.

If you could make a deal with the devil where he gave you a 10x bodyweight powerlifting total, but made you five foot nothing, would you go for it?

God no. This question is retarded
nice bald patch hope it was worth it
Serious question. Which routine should I follow, if I just want the general masses akka normies to consider me "ripped", or "fit"? No roids. I'm just tired by this Stronglift / Starting Strength memes, I don't care about actually being able to squat 4pl8, or "making it", I just want to look good without my shirt on. There, I said it.
So what do, become curlbro? Are there any proven routines for this?
Pic kinda related
>>42675188
Starting Strength
>>42675209
yeah, no. I want the exact opposite of t-rex mode. I was doing Stronglifts 5x5 for 4 months, my quads and calves were huge, but upper body looked like shit.
>>42675219
do starting strength and then add isolated triceps, biceps, abs/obliques, shoulders, etc after the heavy compound. Not that difficult
What's the most accurate TDEE calculator?
I'm using the one in the sticky and it's been 20 days and I'm stalling. 5'11 at 200lbs with a sedantry lifestyle and have only lost 2 lbs so far.
These are my goals btw, should I go down to 1850 cals?
>>42675130
Pretty sure nSuns has some sort of spreadsheet where you input your weight and calories pre day and it slowly adjusts your tdee. Never used it myself, but apparently it gets pretty accurate.
Also, fitness frog is pretty darn accurate. Scooby's is as well. Those two should spit out similar answers.
Are you sure you're tracking calories correctly? Using an app mfp? And are you actually weighing your food or just eyeballing it?
>>42675130
Are you lifting?

Nope, nofap is a meme

>>42675033
You mean calluses?
I have them from rows,deadlifts and my worst enemy, the farmer walks. I don't know if my grip is shit or its normal.
>>42675033
These are fine. I get these all the time from pull-ups. You'll just get used to it.
