In honor of the late Rich Piana I am doing an 8 hour arm workout tonight. Will be recording it and putting it on youtube after.
Who is with me?

how many shakes?
Why is there literally ZERO VIDEO EVIDENCE of a barbell deadlift causing a SPINAL injury?
Apparently, deadlifting being dangerous to the spine (not the muscles) is common knowledge and common sense.
There are countless videos of the other common dangers, like bench press snapping shoulders up, mixed grip snapping biceps, squats blowing out knees and quads. But zero (0, nip, nada, zilch) videos of spinal injury due to barbell deadlifting.
We have been lied to by "conventional wisdom". Why aren't people waking up to this like we have to "fat makes you fat" "eggs cause cholesterol to rise" etc.?
Things that are not worth saying because it doesn't address the issue and just shows you are scared of admitting you might be wrong:
>the same reposted image claiming the requisite force to cause spinal injury in a deadlift.
Firstly, this image was made by a butthurt poster who couldn't admit he was wrong. Secondly, even if you believe it, why doesn't everyone who ever deadlifts have spinal injuries from it? Or are you seriously going to say that anyone without injury has never had their form slip?
>spinal injuries take time to develop so we can't prove it was a deadlift that caused it!
This is another cop out argument that is false. The majority of disc herniations are sudden and very painful.
>appeals to "common sense"
>name calling
If you can't do any better than this then you may aswell just not post.
tl;dr lol. kys bitchy manlet.

He's not dead yet. But these dubs will finish him off
"Your body can only absorb 30g of protein at a time, so you're wasting that protein shake if you're eating a high protein meal at the same time"
>>42475052
"I am OP and I am straight."
fuck off dumb ass faggot. nice fat sage for you.
is this not true?
so I got a manual labor job. been doing it for about 2 weeks. my wrists/hands hurt more than they should. any tips to make it stop?
embrace the dadgrip
Fish oil maybe?
Ibuprofen to reduce swelling. Stretches. Ice.
It should go away after you get used to it though as long as you don't injure yourself
>>42474650
ill have to try fish oil. after the first few days my wrist was swollen but ice helped it go away
Why is being nerdy and /fit/ not allowed?!
>make visible gainz, still dyel
>friends a little bit envious
>go to friday night mtg last week and people were intimidated by me despite knowing me for years
>get a text from the owner who is my friend who told me that i'm too intimidating now and it best I don't come to friday night magic cept maybe once a month.
>tells me he willing to give me a booster box every expansion for free since i've been a good friend and a great customer.
:( I feel conflicted about my gains /fit/.
>>42474582
Most people don't know how to balance their free time.
It's assumed that the nerdy types spend all day indoors while the athletic guys are always outside or being physical/social.
They're still kind of seen as exclusive so it throws people in for a loop that you can be both things and that you can manage your free time well.
Anyways just come in wearing a hoodie to conceal your gains, hell wear a mtg hoodie
Just wear baggy clothes and people won't notice your gains if you're natty.
>inb4 deluded fatties think they look big in baggy clothes.
>>42474582
I'm sorry man, that's rough.
>>42474685 is right though. Just act like an insecure girl with enormous breasts, and cover it up. Part of why I started lifting in because I got sick of being intimidated by fit people. Hopefully that see the light eventually too
What is the best exercise for getting a sixpack?
going to the store and buying one xDDD
>>42474465
>sixpack
>exercise
Read the sticky faggot
>>42474465
(weighted) leg raises.
Everything else is either useless or a waste of time.
I am really into self improvement while everyone around me is out of shape. Everyone.
Im not saying i am better than them, a lot of them are really happy people. But i have the suspicioun that i want to work on my self so much because no one respected me in school.
Is there a correlation between getting bullied and getting into BB later in life?
Who of you got bullied in school?
Also post if you didnt get bullied, i want to get an overview.
>>42474366
I got into lifting because I played football in high school. If anything I was the one who was considered a bully, though I never did anything to anyone.
>>42474366
yeah i think there is a correlation, but i think it only applies when you are got bullied really hard.
I personally got bullied alot in school. I would get easily fooled, i would believe everything i was told. People did stuff like throwing my school bag into trees or something. Doesnt sound bad but its humiliating, kinda. There was a period where i was actually quite depressed and sad. I decided that im not the problem, but my classmates are just assholes so i left that school and thats where i noticed i was right.
I did start lifting and im pretty built at the moment, but im honestly not lifting because i was bullied. Im just lifting to get chicks
>>42474423
Basically this, but was more of a heavy banter with me
just made it to stegosaurus mode
6'5"; 240 lbs
trying to recomp so going to texas method from SS to continue to make progress on calorie deficit; tell me why I'm an idiot
Your not an idiot, if you are fat that is the right decision.
>>42474211
No front squats??
>>42474265
why would i do front squats?
>had crush on girl in college class when was a skinny lanklet, never talked to her
>start lifting
>three years later, become sick cunt
Would it be creepy to ask her out over facebook now?
>>42474067
you fool, dont facebook msg her or even follow her
find out where you can run into her coincidentally and strike up convo. she prob doesnt remember your pathetic ass so dont act like you know her. just dont be autistic.
Honestly, what I'd do if I were in that situation would be to just start talking to her first of all, do that for like a bit, couple days a week maybe, just ask about what she's been doing, explain how you're doing blahblahblah, after a while you can ask her to hang out, or go out or whatever the fuck.
Don't start it off with "HEY I'M INTERESTED IN YOU" because that probably just comes off as creepy.
>>42474139
Wouldn't that be more creepy? I know where she works tho.

Skinny fat here. Wanting to put on muscle with beginner gains + lose weight. Is Keto for me?
Do keto, go skelly mode, bulk from there.
>>42473566
No, exercise plus a good balanced omnivorous diet is good for you.
>>42473566

Fuck /fit/, I just fucked up in front of these dudes at the gym I was trying to be friends with because my gym cucumber fell out. What do?
> Be me, kinda beta, but getting better, decent build
> At new school, transfer from community college, start going to gym same time every day.
> Cool group of guys there same time, some of them big
> Find up reasons to talk fitness, get spotted a few times by them.
> Begin building rapport, one dude even comments on how my lifts are up
>feels good man.jpg
Here is where I fuck up. I started wearing boxer briefs because I like the tight feel when I squat but my bulge was making me super self conscious. I don't think I'm "small" but a grower, not shower.
> See online other guys use cucumbers and some tape to fix this problem
> why not?.jpg
> Start wearing locker room cucumber all the time. More confidence = better lifts.
Then It. All. Goes. Wrong.
>Head to locker room with cool guys, already talking about McGregor vs Mayweather
> Wearing older loser pair of boxers but had cucumber on.
> All the sweat must have loosened the tape, and the boxers are loose.
> Feel the cucumber falling
> Oh God...
> Mid conversation a cucumber falls out of my boxers and slides across the wet floor.
> I leave my body
> Everyone laughing
> Funny huge black dude makes 10,000 jokes
> Get told to pick up cucumber and throw it out.
> Do it, making me look even more beta.
> More jokes rain down.
> Try to laugh it off. Break into one sentence replies as I speed change.
> Black dude says sorry, and tells them to stop bagging on me
> Thanks...
> "cause this nigga might come back and go Columbine over this shit."
> More laughs.
tl;dr my locker room cucumber fell out in front of dudes I want to be friends with. What do I do next?

Your body has entered ketosis because you're not eating enough carbohydrates. It is now using your fat reserves as the main source of calories to help perform cognitive functions. This is why you feel so bad.
>>42473473
aren't fruits filled with carbs?
could it be lack of salt?
