This is something that even a lot of bodybuilders lack. How the fuck do you get your lower abs to look good? Most people that think they have 4 packs just have poor lower ab definition. You can see that there's a line going down on Arnold's abs here, it's just not as developed as the top ones.

>Genetics
If you can see the outline then genetics are not the issue. All the 6 separations of the abs are there, the problem is that the lower one seems to be incredibly difficult to develop. Frank Zane also has the same issue.

I was going through my usual routine at the gym today when, towards the end of my workout, a guy approached me and warned me about slamming the weight down on the hard surface while barbell rowing, as it would 'splatter my brains'. (I usually lift on the hard surface rather than the padded area, so that I can see myself from the side and make sure my back is straight).
I'm now wondering if the impact shock when slamming weights down during deadlifts/rows/etc can actually harm the brain at all? This has never struck me before, so it's making me kinda paranoid now. If anyone knows any studies on the subject, that would be fantastic

why do you think they're called meat heads?

Why are you slamming the weight on rows? Thats not right at all unless you mean dropping it the last rep.
Also yes you can get brain damage. You drop the barbell on your head during an ohp and yeah brain damage can happen.

Is there any SPECIFIC way to lose weight around your mid-section i.e. love handles?
I was just looking at some pics of myself the other day and the wide waist is definitely hurting things. I'm 6'0 162 pounds so losing more weight is definitely not a goal. My physique, however, is 'skinnyfat', and I do have those love handles.
How to get rid of love handles and other midsection fat, /fit/?
Pic slightly related: a person with an attractive waistline. Different gender though.

What kind of routine does a person who actually competes (in bodybuilding or powerlifting) do? What do they do differently compared to the average gymbro (ie. me)?
I'm tired of being weak and every time people talk about routines here, every routine gets called shit. WHAT IS A GOOD ROUTINE? WHAT MAKES A ROUTINE GOOD?

Many powerlifters and strongmen share routines they use for training, usually for free. I've used routines by Candito, Alan Thrall, and Alsruhe with some success.

Pushups, 45% of your maximum every hour every day.
Pullups, 50% of maximum every day every two hours.
Chinups, 75% of maximum every day every two hours.
Cut the carbs unhealthy carbs.

There are gyms that cost $10-20/month.
If you can't afford that but you still have Internet access, your priorities are fucked and you arent gonna make it.
>>
>>42554277
It's possible, but you will need some basic stuff for home. A bench, and some dumbbells or barbell. If you can't afford to buy a bench, you can make one out of some 2x4's. Aside from that, just appropriately diet and do what exercises you can, you'll be fit; Maybe not ultra ripped, but you won't be a Nancyboy.

All sentient actors have an agenda; whether or not their agenda is beneficial to you or your values though is the question. George Soros isn't some malicious sith lord; he's only acting in the way that benefits him or his values. Your opinion on this is nothing more than that. Nobody intentionally acts in a malicious and destructive way-Hitler only wanted to help HIS people.
Since individuals only act in the ways they see best, and this is informed by their experience, concerning yourself over intentions and motivations of others is pretty futile. All you can do is express your perspective and move on, If it influences, so be it; if not, so be it.
Embrace the stoic.

probably not, iirc the only real way to accurately measure calorie loss is to measure CO2 expelled from the body

No, they invariably estimate high, just to boost your ego, so that you tell all your friends, "look how many calories I burned just by wearing this watch! You should totally buy one too!"

he's short, but he's so short that it's interesting, it makes him stand out, be interesting
most short guys are short, and that's it, nothing intriguing about them. pure mediocrity all around
i suppose it's like how girls like big penises but a guy with a 2-incher will still get sucked off sometimes, mostly as a joke or that the girl could say she did it

It's not rocket science. "Half a pack of softstix, bro!" I just googled and that's about 360 calories. Although you're most likely ending up skinnyfat territory with shit musclemass, at least it's better than being fatfat.

That's what I'm concerned about.
