deadlift is the best lift
prove me wrong atheists
>Go into gym yesterday to do back
>Oh boy time for some deads
>Guy next to the squat rack I just took is doing trap bar deadlifts with about 350 or so
>He is really shredded but he is struggling hard with 345, and has belt+wraps
>I warm up then load up 405 to begin 5x5
>I finish two sets and notice he is snearing at me in the mirror
>Disregard him
>He finishes his lifts with the trap bar and approaches me
>Says that I shouldn't deadlift 405 without a belt because its super heavy and I'm going to fuck my back up permanently
>Tell him I don't think its that heavy for me, and that my back has been fine
>He literally says "You know I hate stubborn fuckers like you, you just think you know, until you hurt yourself" and walks away
Uh... what?
Is deadlifting without a belt really that serious? This guy was seriously upset for my well being.
Should I be belting up for 405 /fit/?

I don't bother with a belt for deads, but I'd suggest using one after 5 plates if you're starting to hunch or lose form.
>>42415163
You should be killing yourself for posting a shit thread.
If your form is not falling apart, which I doubt it is if you can do 5x5 at 405, you have no reason to belt.
The belt isn't there to prevent injury, its to give you something to press your abs into to stabilize yourself, and help you lift heavier.

Hey /fit/, typical semi-DYEL here, been working out for the past 6 months, and I noticed that as I lose weight and get stronger, my sex drive starts to shrink. I work I full time job and go to school and night, and any free time not devoted to work or school goes to the gym.
I used to have a couple girls I would see to get my fix, but lately I have no interest and actually have no libido at all.
What could be the cause?
afraid /fit/? i'm coming for you

Has anyone tried intermittent fasting? Everyone tells me it's not healthy and that i will lose muscle, but everything else points to benefits. What exactly are you suppose to eat twice a day to still burn fat and build alot of muscle?
i do it, but only because i'm too much of a pussy to do longer fasts, i go full 24 hours without eating
All the ''benefits'' are a meme. It's just used as a calorie restriction tool so you eat less.

Here are some excerpts
>‘Very few men are happy to be by themselves, too. They lurch from one relationship to another, whereas middle-aged women are a lot stronger and more self-assured than they were in the last generation.
>Men’s relationships frequently overlap; they won’t leave one partner until they find another, so they are never really single.

So fit, why do I find matronly women so fucking attractive?
I'm 20 years old so it's not like I'm trying to settle down any time soon, but whenever I see a woman that's good with kids I'm instantly more attracted to them.
I'm working as a lifeguard over the summer and I just saw this qt 7/10 babysitter handle these kids flawlessly. Why am I more attracted to a 6/10 grill like this than an 10/10 that isn't good with kids. Is this normal?
If you value human life more than I do (I'm certain you do,) and you are someone that plans to have kids and your own family in the future, it's an obvious telltale sign you're attracted to them more because you find them rationally superior. You feel they would take care of your kid if you had one with them with that same passion and love.
Pretty normal, honestly. I can't relate but I can understand this mentality.

You're a mentally healthy person who wants a nice woman who can help you raise your kids well. You have good instincts anon, be proud of that can carry on.

Anyone use 1st Phorm?
How does it compare to other stuff? I got a sample jug of the post workout protein powder, seems good. Tastes good, mixes well, and as far as I can tell is slightly speeding up my recovery but then again this is the first powder I've used so not sure if that's not a common thing for all protein powders.
Can someone explain SS curls to me?
They are barbell curls but with raising the arm at the shoulder.
I tried them once but it felt weird and I don't know how to search for them on youtube.
