If your goal is to be attractive to females.
do you need big muscles or is being lean and basic gains enough?
A hybrid of ottermode and swole, athlete mode if you will. Anyways, pay no attention to females, theyre not worth it.
Rip thread
Being lean and basic gains is enough. Anything beyond and you're entering homosexual territory.

HOW TO GET FROM FAT INTROVERTED FUCK TO FIT FAGGOT IN A FEW EASY STEPS
IT'S THIS MAGICAL THING I MADE UP CALLED:
The Midnight Pizza Sprint!
Why? Because by the time hear something move, you'll be running anyways!
How to:
Pick a restaurant. Any restaurant. Just kidding, it has to be pizza and over a mile away, preferably 2!
How does it work? Work for the reward! Get your fat ass off of your bed and fucking go outside! You run, you get pizza, and you run back! Simple as that.
this was actually terrifying i live in the country and i can't see shit
burning less calories than you are eating, ok.

How far do you think we all live from a pizza place to make it burn more calories than a pizza?
>>42479155
it's more or less a shitpost, shh
Any tips for self-unracking on bench press?
I workout late at night so there isn't really anyone around to ask help. I'm finding it increasingly difficult to unrack it as I progress in weight.
>>42479068
grab it with your arms then lift the bar
I haven't gotten heavy enough for it to be a serious problem. Chasing 2pl8 for reps right now.
I've always assumed once you get really heavy, you stop benching alone.
>>42479068
Same. And the power rack at the gym I go to, it's either a bit too high so it's very hard to unrack or it's too low and I basically do a half rep unracking the weight
>That guy who squats 275lbs but only benches 155lbs at my gym
Another victim of rippletoe.
bench is a meme exercise for wannabe gymrats
>>42478797

Not /fit/ related. MODS! Delete this shit.
>>42478680
nice mobile link you fucking phoneposter
also yes she is mildly overweight, and has below average tits
this thread is now attractive women only
>>42478680
yeah she's chunky
if i was trashed i'd probably smash and never tell anyone but that's it.
So i stalled on my bench for a while
Basically I dropped the whole 5x5 thing and started kinda deloading
Made a lot of progress
just start with max, then take off ten from each side, lift till failure, keep repeating till i pretty much can't lift anymore
any one else do this?
Tfw wristlet
Is there a cure
You just need to get MASSIVE tendon gains
There isn't

Why when I look in the mirror I still see the awkward skinny lanky fuck I've always been and people call me big?
>>42478404
I'm the opposite, I envision myself as a bloated, hunched over lesbian and then when I see myself in a car window or my reflection in a puddle I'm relieved it's just a slightly DYEL looking guy staring back.
Sup boys. I'm scrawny and have one pec. (Thing called Poland Syndrome) The pec thing wont change, but what do I do about the scrawny thing? How do I start? Recommendations would be appreciated.
>>42478375
Just train like everybody else... Read the sticky. Maybe stick with dumbells instead of barbell for chest exercises, so that you can adjust the weight for your weaker side.
>>42478407
Shouldn't he stay with barbells but stay light. Could having one huge pec cause trouble with imbalances?
>>42478431
Maybe you are right. Ask your doctor OP
Should I gain weight before I work out?
I don't want that skinny muscle look you see on people like Bruce Lee.
>>42478281
you say that like it'd be a bad thing
>>42478322
It looks gross to me
I want to lift for aesthetics + strength
No, gain weight while you work out. If you want some extra fat that's fine, but there's no benefit to gaining a bunch if fat first, and then working out.
>that pale scrawny white kid who comes to the gym once every 2 months and yells "PLUS ULTRA" at the climax of his final set
That never happened and even if it did it wouldn't really be funny.
>tennis elbow
What kind of bicep exercises could I do that avoid putting stress on my forearm?
>>42478255
Do wrist curls low weight. Switch to neutral grip pull ups. Try high reps low weight then heavy weight low reps, rotate. Wrap your wrists to the bar for curls.
