>>35618490
Because I'm OP. OP is always a fag, dumbass.

How old do you need to be to be an oldfag

>>35618535
Do you have a career instead of a job? Do you have kids? You're an oldfag.

Still live at home? Can't buy your own beer? Not an oldfag.

>>35618601

Does anyone have that picture of the home gym that's plastered with Taylor Swift posters?

Also, how disproportianate is it that my max overhead press is 125x6 and my max bench is 175x4

>>35618461
If protein from milk is incomplete, what other sources should I eat/drink to make them complete? Something besides bcaa powders, like actual foods.

>>35618596

>>35618633
Bench should be higher. You're nearly at 1 plate for OHP but bench is 50 pounds away from 2 plate.

>>35618637
Milk protein is animal protein and animal proteins are complete proteins.

>>35618637
Milk is complete though

Ohp kicks my ass. What is proper grip width?

>>35618648
yeah, but how often?

>>35618681

Slightly wider than shoulder width. Make sure your grip is good. See image.

AxxBxxAxxBxx

I would say that's the bare minimum

>>35618709
Thanks, watched that earlier tonight - figured I'd ask here as well, though. I've been holding way too wide.

>>35618721
why can't I just go once a week? intermediate plans are heavy once a week. that's enough work for intermediates it should let me get gains on the same program longer, shouldn't it? it's not like I'm going to lose my gains in a week, is it?

>>35618657

>Milk protein is animal protein and animal proteins are complete proteins.

Why does rich panini say that he has to have bcaa;s with his cereal + milk to make his proteins complete then?

After having back pain for a long time I've narrowed the cause down to a few possibilities.
1. It seems to happen when I'm either
a. dehydrated
b. constipated
c. full bladder
2. It also seems to go away within a day or two if I baby it.

What could this be? Seems very strange to me. I can't tell if it's posture related because I'm skinnyfat, but I'm cutting right now so maybe I will find an issue with my posture.

>>35618767
because he's a 'tard

>>35618767
I can't watch the video right now, but he probably has cereal with incomplete proteins. Wheat products do not provide complete protein

>>35618461
is it fine to do compounds + few acessories or will this fuck me up in boxing on the long run?
I seem to be doing good so far for the past month

>>35618784
That's vague enough to describe 95% of lifting routines.

>>35618767
Is he perhaps sponsored by a supplement company?

>>35618784
Stronger is better. But boxing is a skill sport. Make sure you spend most of your time practicing your sport's skills. Keep the gym to no more than, say, 20% of your training time.

>>35618768
See an MD about your kidney infection.

Recommended food for building muscle? I was probably just going to stick with quest bars for a while. Shit seems to be the best thing out there

Other than that grilled chicken

>>35618863
1.2-1.7 g protein per kg of lean body mass
surplus kcal to gain 1 lb per two weeks

that's all you need to know

if you don't know how to cook and need recipe ideas, buy or torrent Mark Bittman's book How to Cook Everything.

How can I force myself to push through the pain for more reps? When reps start getting hard and painful I instantly give up. Been lifting about three months now.

Can I still get gains this way or am I not going to make it?

Why do people roid when you can't keep the gains after you stop taking?

>>35618847
>>35618768
Kidney infection or STD.

boxing on tuesday thursday and friday

>>35618799
doing A-B-A

A:
- Bench(2x5 max weight then 2x20 light for dat dere endurance)
- Deadlift 1x5
- Weighted dips 2x8 then 2x20 with just bw
- incline dbb bench 3x8-12
- ez bar curls 3x8-12

B
- Squats (2x5 max weight then 2x20 light)
- OHP (2x5 max then 2x20 light)
- Rows w/ underhand grip 3x8-12(sometimes do strength others hypertrophy)
- pull ups 3x8
- 3x12 tricep extension

now I'm thinking of just leaving it like this, because I was also doing the following:

3x8 lateral raises
3x8 heavy seated ohp with dbb
3x8 lat pulldown

guess i'll leave those three out

>>35618847
Fairly certain it's not kidneys.
It's definitely muscle strain, and I get knots in my lower/mid back.
Plus I've had it for years, if it was kidney infection I'd be six feet under

Multi vits are 5 months past the expiration date, wanna know if it's still good to use.

>>35618897

>wants to do forced reps

You don't need to. Even roid monsters don't need to.

>>35618902
Some roids are a lot cheaper than supplements. Cheap enough to stay on them forever.

Why do I rarely if ever see mince meat recommended as a good /fit/ food, or at least base? I like to make burgers with mince meat mixed with sliced onion & pepper, bit of egg milk and bread mixed in. It tastes delicious and is great bulking food

>>35618897
Is it muscle pain or joint pain? If it's joint pain you're using poor form and on the way to snap city. I wouldn't really describe muscle failure at the end of a set as painful

>>35618911
Looks solid, but I'd look to add chinups somewhere there.

>>35618927
It won't kill you. Some of the vitamins might have lost some potency, though. Multi's are cheap, though. Just chuck them and buy new ones.

>>35618940
"Mince meat" is chopped up dried fruit in the US, where most of us are from. Here we call it "ground meat."

>>35618913
You get it when you're dehydrated or when your bladder is full. Kidney infection or STD is about it, man, and you sound like a virgin.

>>35618953
where would they fit? always heard to either pick pull ups or chin ups

>>35618940
Mince is the same as ground beef right? Shits kinda expensive

>>35618943
Muscle pain usually, like a burn that gets pretty painful.

>>35618964
It's neat how you can pick the virgins out of the pack. What gives it away?
Well I'll see my doctor about checking my urine.

>>35618982
Burning sensation is nerve pain, not muscle pain. Muscle pain is sort of sharp.

>>35619016
So am I doing exercises wrong then?

>>35619023
Eat more potatoes/pasta instead

Do you gain any benefit from attempting 1RMs, or is it just not enough volume to matter in the long run?

>>35619045
No idea, but nerve pain is see a doctor level stuff for me.

>>35619067
Good for determining your weights if you're on a percentage-based program. That's about it, really.

Work up to a 1 RM, then do volume at greater than 80% of the 1 RM. Repeat 2x a day. It's the Bulgarian way.

>>35618964
If it is a kidney infection, wouldn't I have noticed any of the other symptoms other than back pain?
I'm kind of a hypochondriac, so this occurred to me, but I don't think it's kidneys.

>>35619138
Could just be mild. Doesn't need to be life-threatening. But, hey, it's your body.

>>35619155
I'll see the doctor anyway.
Now I'm worried because I remember him saying something about weird proteins in my piss or something a couple years back.

legit how important are break days because my dumbbell routine seems to me like anyone could do it, everyday, but i don't wanna mess my shoulders/elbows up

>>35619181
At least as important as workout days.

Should you eat maintenance or a surplus on rest days?

How do I deal with minor/moderate forehead acne?
My forehead feels both dry and oily, don't know how to explain it better than that.
I've started washing my face and changing pillowcase, but I'm hoping it's just hormones (18).

arms are swollen from my last work out but i can bend them now without it hurting a fucking bunch?

do i still go lift today?

>>35619199
Yes.

Depends on whether you're trying to maintain or lose weight.

>>35619203
Astringent.

>>35619217
>astringent
Ayy thanks boss

>>35619216
Yes. You're fine.

>>35619217
Would astringent help me if I have a lot of acne from drinking a lot of milk everyday?

>>35619230
Maybe. It helps with skin that's too oily.

>>35619181
If you can do your routine every day, you're not lifting heavy enough.
Break days are when your muscles grow, I don't know how important that is to you.

Any reason my shoulders pop during bench? There's no pain.

Also I accidentally a muscle in my right shoulder on New Years fooling around with some chick, but it doesn't hurt when I do any lifts. Should I just keep lifting or rest it?

How's sparring?(box)

Shoulders popping: tight infraspinatus muscle. Grab a tennis ball and give them a beating.

Accidentally a muscle in your shoulder: if it doesn't hurt, you're probably fine.

>>35619397
Sparring is (mostly) no hits to the head and pulled punches. You're not trying to hurt the other person, just practicing technique. It'll be about a 2/10.

Is it safe for me to do squats if my hamstrings are still sore from doing heavy SLDLs 2 days ago? Will it hurt my gains?

>>35619403
Neat, I'll go buy some tennis balls. That's the fix even if the popping is in the front of the shoulder?

>>35619416
the way he said meant it will be hard but obviously while not trying to injure or hurt someone really badly
even need mouthguards so I'm not so sure about that

>>35619424
Yes it's safe. No, it won't hurt your gains. The pain will go away as you warm up.

>>35619426
Especially if the popping is in the front of the shoulder.

>>35619449
You can still break your teeth getting hit in the face softly.

>>35619462
Great. Thanks anon, I'm off to Dick's to buy some balls

How bad would it be if I drank my protein shake 3 hours after my workout, and also about 30 minutes after dinner? I can spare the calories but I don't wanna fuck up my gains

>>35619558
It's fine. Nutrient timing is mostly bullshit.

>>35618633
I know one of you faggots has it saved.

>>35619585
Oh I forgot to mention, I took a Men's One-A-Day pro edge as well but it doesn't list protein on it.

Anyone have tips for a taller guy (6'2") and keeping good posture? I'm looking down at stuff all day and slouching because chairs don't fit me.

Is it ok to drink a protein shake after only doing cardio?
I just save them for days when I lift.

>>35619791
its protein...

it's the same shit as meat, only with a lower fat content.

it's just food bro

>can i eat steak after only doing cardio?

>>35619784
Put your left hand on right pec, move your right arm like you're bench pressing, varying the angle your arm makes with your torso until you feel the movement of your pec. Repeat with hands switched. Replicate that angle with the bench press.

>>35619791
An athlete, in this case you, needs 1.2-1.7 g of protein per kg of lean mass per day. How you get it doesn't really matter much.

>>35619768
Whats that?

Should i do sumo deads when im 6ft2?

>>35619848
It's per kg of lean mass. Lower end if you're an endurance athlete, higher end if you're a strength athlete.

yes, if you are DYEL.
but not for long.

i HIGHLY recommend doing intermittent fasting, and feasting a good hour or two pre-workout.

this way you are in a highly anabolic state, but still maintain a caloric deficit.

plus IF increases natural levels of GH and does a bunch of other shit that is good for gains.

you can't "use up" your noob gains.

so you can always bulk later

Don't try to cut on either of those unless you're really really fat because you won't last long. Better to just eat normally if you're fat.

I'm on 4chan instead of in the gym?

When calculating your TDEE and how much you should eat while cutting, do you take into account any possible weight from loose skin? Ive lost abotu 100 lbs over the last 18 months and suddenly ive plateaued for about 4 months. ITs extremely frustrating but im cutting at like...1600-1700 calories a day, still not seeing progress.

So i go to a couple different calculators, the one on the MyFitnessPal app says i should be eating 1650, and then scooby's says i should be eating 2000.

please help, this is annoying and confusing

Will lifting 2pl8 ever feel like 1pl8 does now? Meaning easy as fuck.

Just do them straight. Use calculations as a starting point. Then weigh yourself regularly to adjust and make sure you're running an adequate deficit.

>>35620118
Bodyweight is fine. Weight is weight.

Stupidly over-complicated programs with too much to go wrong and no sense of whether you actually need all the bullshit aren't.

plateaus happen.
if you have been cutting nonstop, try eating more calories for a while.

i know that is literally the scariest thing to recommend ever, but metabolic adaptation is a bitch, and your cortisol levels are probably too high in addition to that.

dial the high intensity cardio down, if you do it, switch to LISS for a while.
eat a little bit more.

i was in a similar situation, and that severely affecting my psychology.
it was getting borderline anorexia.
bad shit.

you gotta eat more.

i think you need to watch this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOHdUNdg7x4

you can probably skip the first minute or so, around 1:30 is where it gets relevant

>>35620116
Yes. When you can lift 4 plate, 2 plate will feel like 1 plate feels now (if you can lift 2 plate now, that is)

>>35620162
Maybe. Does the knee bend sideways now? Is the joint swollen? If yes to either, see a doctor. If no, foam rolling is probably fine.

>>35620182
Core strength, triceps strength, time.

>>35620150
>too much to go wrong
you are fucktarded

bodyweight isn't shit because you can't get enough resistance.

getting resistance is easy.

bodyweight is shit because you cannot reasonably. progress at a consistent pace

it has stalls built into the program.

also PHIR is not over-complicated, your glutes are shit because you don't do hip thrusts.

it also says which exercises you can feel free to remove.

nothing to go wrong with that, that you don't see with any lift like squat or bench

>>35620183
>weight loss has plateaued
>eat more

>>35620200
>not knowing how to get more resistance on push ups
>being so emotionally invested in PHIR that you can't see it's a "throw everything at the trainee and hope something sticks" shit program

>>35620186
No it doesn't bend anyways but normal. I just bodyweight squatted and the inside hurts bit.

I think I went too far forward on my last rep. I think I'm going to stop and go home so I don't fuck it up worse.

Sounds like a plan.

he has been cutting for 18 months straight.

i guaruntee you have never been in that position.

i have shed well over 90lb now, and plateau'd multiple times.

refeeding was always the answer.

nobody is saying eat at a caloric surplus.

you really think eating at maintenance for 3-4 days will fuck your weightloss progress?

watch the video, greg o'gallagher explains it better than i do.

>>35620250
Yea

Goddammit this always happens. As soon as I start making good progress I dun goof a joint.

I try to have good form but for some reason...fuck this is aggravating. It makes me think I'm doing myself a disservice by lifting by fucking up my body for later in life.

Ways to get rid of mild gyno?

>>35620238
literally no emotional investment, hadn't even heard of it before today.

but it is more like "here is everything worth doing, assembled in a cohesive and effective program. remove everything you consider excessive or superfluous".

it assumes an intermediate level of lifting knowledge...

>>35620286
you don't have gyno, faggot.
just cut more fat.

How do I combine protein sources from plants to create complete proteins? My doctor told me to cut down on protein for health reasons but gave me and ok on plant protein for some reason. Pls help.

>>35620273
and i will say, anecdotally it is common to hear people plateauing on weightloss who go crazy and snap, and eat to satiation, then the next day they step on the scale to find they dropped below their plateau.

>>35620324
your doctor is surprisingly illiterate in pharmacology.

>>35620273
Refeeding is purely psychological. Next you'll go all "starvation mode" on me, you ball of fat logic. Just cut harder, stupid.

>eat at maintenance
>weight loss progress
See how fucked in the head you are? You don't even know maintenance means "maintaining your current weight."

>>35620287
If you've just heard of it today, you literally have no business recommending it to someone. It assumes the person already has intermediate lifting knowledge, yes, but that is something you do not acquire by lifting as a novice. After a few months of serious intermediate training and discovering where exactly you're weak, then you can start adding lifts. And then maybe it might possibly look vaguely related to PHIR.

But even then you still wouldn't have any business suggesting it.

>>35620286
Lose weight.

>>35620338
metabolic adaptation is real, you massive faggot.

that is why people who do cardio lose weight more slowly than those who don't

>>35620335
>your doctor is surprisingly illiterate in pharmacology.

just because i have heard of that ONE routine today, doesn't mean i don't know about routine crafting or routines in general to recognize it is a great routine.

Would there be any drawback to using an axle bar for my lifts? I use it on my ohp an bench no problems so far and warm up my deads with it

casein is casein.
lysine is lysine
isotopes don't affect nutrition

he might be recommending a greater fiber:protein ratio in favor of fiber.

>>35620350
Oh, dear. It doesn't know that metabolic rate is determined by lean mass and that it's constant across all bodyweights.

>>35620360
Does it have a lot of calories? The answer to your question is the same as the answer to that question.

>>35620364

if you can only activate your pecs when your hands are close together, like the guy I recommended them to, they're a great exercise. elevate your feet or hands to add or reduce weight. easy peasy. but you're an idiot who doesn't know anything about programming or I wouldn't have had to explain this to you.

the nitrogen atoms found in the amino acids are of different isotopes.

molecularly they are identical, except that one molecule is compose of a slightly different isotope (i believe nitrogen, but could be mistaken, it could easily be carbon), assuming equal amounts of the same aminos, which i am.

>>35620506
The articles he cites support my position that any metabolic slowdown is due to loss of lean mass, you moron.

tl;dr: metabolic adaptation is very real, but only a concern if you have been cutting for well over a year.

greg o'gallagher is the natty king.

>>35620547
what /fit/ would say is fit. would be at a healthy BMI.

your "healthy weight" is probably overweight.

8-12% bodyfat is when the body is in peak physical performance.

below 8% is generally where thing start to get unhealthy (hormone problems if insufficient SFA and carbohydrate intake, bone density issues, lots of bad shit)

>>35620588
strength standards

but it has some retarded spelling

>>35620589
>cut over 100lb over the course of 18 months
>nah bro, you didn't lose any lean mass
fuck off, broscientist.

>>35620595
I meant like 12% bf with intermediate lifts if that helps

>>35620595
>thinking that a loss of lean mass from 18 months of weight loss can be corrected by a couple days of eating maintenance

really now? are you moving the goalpost already?

>>35620589
also anyone just has to read and understand these citations to comprehend how they 100% back everything i have said... as far as metabolic adaptation being a real factor, and increasing calories closer to maintenance to being a solution.

>>35620607
>thinks I said you wouldn't lose lean mass while dieting

are you a fucking idiot with reading comprehension problems or did I forget a word somewhere. fucking quote where you got this idiotic notion or fuck off.

>>35620626
metabolic "adaptation" is bullshit. there is no magic slowdown of metabolic rate relative to the amount of lean mass. you're clearly an idiot.

>>35620613
most of /fit/ would call that fit.

but i would question the veracity of your bodyfat %

show me your abs pls.

>>35620620
no, but it will restore leptin, ghrelin, and cortisol levels back to normal, and help him obliterate his weight loss plateau.
which was my only claim

>>35620658
Those are totally irrelevant to metabolic rate. And they'll go straight back to being the way they were as soon as you go back to the diet. Your own citations demonstrate this. As you'd know if you'd bothered to read more than the titles.

>>35620648
>agrees with the 22 citations talking about "metabolic adaptation"
>disagrees with the article explaining the findings
how is that cognitive dissonance treating you?

pretty good because it is coupled with scientific illiteracy?

well that's good to hear..
keep doing you.

>>35620680
confirmed for not having actually read the citations, and just arguing on 4chan.

cortisol and leptin is talked about in multiple references i linked

>>35620693

>>35620871
Thanks man. I thought about cutting just so I could feel a difference and start with a new leaf but since it's winter I figured I should bulk instead.

So I've bulked. Did I do it right?

>>35620903
Maybe a little too much bulk, but it's nothing that can't be fixed. Don't worry about it. You'll be a sick cunt by summer.

I'm at around 13% BF I think, been lifting for half a year but not seriously, should I bulk or cut? Is it all just my opinion

>>35621036
Mass without strength, eh? Synthol is probably your best bet.

Or you could just accept that you'll hypertrophy on a strength program and get stronger on a hypertrophy program.

Hey guys, A few days ago before lifting I think I pulled or strained something during my warmup, pic related is the area. It feels tender, quite sore and It definitely feels uncomfortable when I move my right leg, given the location of it I think it's some sort of muscle that has been strained. I did legs the following day but couldn't finish the workout because it felt pretty troublesome, I was just wondering what you guys think. I assume the best course of action is to just completely rest it until it's back to 100%, so sadly no deadlifts today ;_; Have any of you anons had similar pain in the same area and can provide clarification as to what I might have done?

>>35621267
That's actually not something I have ever considered.

How much money does it take to actually maintain being on roids?

>>35621174
So it doesn't matter how strong I am at the end, just when I'm stalling in all lifts i should stop?

>>35621281
dbol is cheaper than whey protein. and it's what arnold took.

>>35621295
He looks crusty as fuck now though. That's my real problem with roids

>>35621281
Not that guy, but probably a lot. You have to factor in the cost drugs and tons of food. The time cost of increasing your volume in your routine, and the risk cost of dealing with illegal shit.

Basically it's not worth it for most sane people who don't make a living using their physique.

>>35621276
Could be this.

Don't worry, when you are a washed up guy with a dad bod you can get on TRT legally!

is tuna good for cutting? even the cheap stuff tastes good on everything, i put it on salads sometimes. Im not sure if it was supposed to be good for bulking instead, and also the amount of mercury it may contain

>>35621319
What made you take the jump into juice? Did you just decide to get on it when you reached your limit and the natty gains basically disappeared?

>>35621330
No. Tuna has a lot of mercury in it. Best not to eat it more than once or twice a week.

What does this mean?

I need a new bed, My sleep has been terrible and I can't get comfortable in this bed anymore. Had it for about 7 years. Pillow top, added the padding, still sucks. I've been looking into one of those memory foam jobs from amazon, and just wondering if anyone has used one for a long period of time and how they feel about em.

>>35621592
Sleep on a blanket in the floor, after 2 weeks you are going to love your old bed, but after 3 days you will remember how good it was the little time you spend sleeping on the floor and is gonna sell your bed to buy more KFC

You exercise one day then rest for two days. A and B represent two different workouts.

>>35621475
Time and distractions. Distract yourself with something that'll fill your day. Each day that passes will get a little better and easier to deal.

>>35621592
They're fine. Nothing special. I've given up a bed and pillows entirely and sleep on the floor. Takes getting used to, but it's really rather nice.

Generally it's not the bed, though. Too much light, too much heat, too much noise, too much electronic devices too soon before bed, too much caffeine before bed, etc. Those keep you from getting good sleep.

Also, if you're fat, you might have sleep apnea. You might have it anyway, but still.

If you ever expect to have sex again, make sure you have a bed.

I want to test my maxes brehs, I'm currently doing Pull/Legs/Pushx2, how do I go about it?
Do I test my max of that day and then just get out the gym, or do I finish with light accessory work?
Thanks senpaitachi

>>35621737
Pills seem easier, might as well just grab some

what shorts/pants does /fit/ lift in?

>>35621769
EC stack, I couldn't tell you because I am only now educating myself.

No shorts or pants

>>35621742

Which ever you like. There are programs like Westside and Bulgarian training that do training maxes every workout and then do additional volume based on those maxes. There are others like Texas Method where you test all your maxes on one day and go home.

Generally it's better to test your 1RM max at the beginning of your workout when your fresh, though.

>>35621771
Basketball shorts.

>>35621769

Alpha receptor agonist (I think). Tells your body to release fat.

>>35621791
Adenosine alpha receptor antagonists, actually. Valerian root is an agonist.

Where can I get a good meal plan? Also, where can I get some /fit/ approved recipes?

>>35621771
If it is leg day I wear short shorts (not that short, but still show a lot of leg), any other day I wear pants that I think are for sports, nothing special.

wtf is up with lanklets these days?

>be me, 5'11 manlet.
>going about my workout
>try my max
>deadlift 500 pounds and make minimal sound
>no grunts
>no slamming weight down
>lanklet on some shoulder machine nearby
>grunting/screaming and banging weight around when it hits the stack
>trying to get everyone to look at him (works I guess)
>parades around some 5/10 chunky broad like its impressive
>makes out with her right after one of his sets when everyone is looking.
WTF? I don't get it.
kid was 6'4 maybe 160. running around drinking like 3 different shaker cups of various colors and density.

Saw him benching when I was leaving so I had to watch, did 165 for 4 reps. Idk how fatigued he was but its all I saw. (from set up to rack, not a superset)

Is this alpha? Are these the people on here shitposting?

We get it dude you're tall. but holy fuck

Just didn't strike fear in me that /fit/ makes it seem it should

Only dude at the gym that scares me is the 5'4 guy who has bug eyes and rides a harley.

someone explain? Is this alpha?

>>35621828
Check out Scooby's meal planner, it seems legit.

>>35621861
That lanklet is a beta cuck in training. Ignore.

The motorcycle midget is either a poseur or on his way to jail. Ignore and avoid.

doc told me i can't lift for 2 weeks. what can i do to prevent /nogainz/?

>>35621907
Enjoy your deload and try not to eat like a pig. You won't lose much if anything in two weeks.

I'm eating a lot of meat - a lot of bacon, some sausages and free range beef and chicken. I do eat salads and the very odd apple. Would eating organic plain yogurt offset the red & processed meat?

>>35621882
thats my impression too, kind of hard to ignore when all you hear is the 30 pounds he is pushing slamming into the rest of the stack and all the grunting.

motorcycle dude scares me tho, I do try to stay away, but for some reason, no matter what locker I use, he is always within 5 of me. He sees me when I am naked and fragile.

So I just got my testosterone results and I'm at a low 246 ng/dL

I'm only 21 years old

What can I do about this?

>>35621954
Be sure not to end up in prison with the moto midget. You'd definitely end up as his bitch.

Maybe talk to him, though, if you see him around a lot. He's probably a nice guy.

>>35621948
No. Eat leafy green vegetables.

Or find a doc who will put you on TRT and get you up to 750. 246 is about what you would expect an 80 year old man to have.

>>35621367
dubs say yea

What's the current state of the art in genetic modification? Can athletes get frog genes grafted into their legs to jump higher and shit yet?

If I spend the first two months of my lifting not dieting, just eating at maintenance, is it going to fuck me? I wouldn't mind macros and calorie counting later on but I feel like I'll be more likely to stick with it if I introduce change a little at a time instead of trying to go 100 out of the gate.

>>35622177
nope, maybe in 20 years you can see shit like that, but not as a frog genes, but something from stronger animals, like better resistance, more hemacias and harder to get tired, shit like this.

>>35622194
You'll be fine. Just be sure to cut the volume some and don't worry about increasing your lifts much when you start your cut.

Can stretching be a bad thing, muscle growth wise?

Worth mentioning maybe that I'm female and pretty damn flexible and I quite enjoy it. But can it slow down my progress for some reason?

what is it called when you do a romanian deadlift, but go all the way to the ground with it, like a SLDL?

because this the way i deadlift like 99% of the time.

sometimes i will do a conventional deadlift if i am struggling to get it off the floor, and need some more legs to help lift it.

>>35622251
no, training flexibility is amazing.
the more mobility, the better your form will be for more complicated lifts like front squat or overhead squat.

>>35621996

It's better to do a lot of reps with always the same weight or to put more weight with each set and do less reps?

>>35622357
Mostly not broscience.

Saturated fat, magnesium, cholesterol, vitamin D, cold shock... all good for you.

>>35621861
i'm 6 foot 170lbs

i grunt every deadlift rep at 320lbs.

leave me alone

>>35622424
Yes.

Reps above 80% of your 1RM, which is a weight you can do for about 5-8 reps. Beyond that, it doesn't matter much.

>>35622251
Yes, you can be too flexible. It can interfere with your ability to control your form under heavy load. Really you should only be as flexible as you need to be.

>>35622309
SLDL, yes.

Thanks for the help
This result has me feeling down

More salads it is. Thanks Anon.

is lamb rogan josh the best all round bulking meal?

>>35621087
Thanks mang. Meant i was done training for strength as my goal.

Could I hit 1OHP/2bench/3squat/4diddies in my first year of lifting? Been on SS since december and progress has been delayed by my poor diet.

Earlier I dreamt of starting a cut on March to look good come July but it's looking to me like I'm just going to have to clean bulk if I want to get those plates on the bar faster. highbar fag too

>>35622488
>SLDL, yes.
see, i was told SLDL the bar doesn't touch your shins, and you don't sit your hips back because your legs are locked
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR6HDEmBQNo
i do it exactly like an RDL, except i go all the way to the ground with it. (Even with 35 plates and smaller)

Hey /fit/

I've been doing SS for three months now, my stats are

40kgs OHP
70kg Squat
60kg Power Clean
100kg deadlift

Now, to the question, i'm 6'4 and 108kgs and trying to cut. However I want to ride the linear progression as long as I can. If I cut some more and then exercise at my stalled weight, if I then increase my intake would I start making strength gains again? I haven't stalled yet, but I want to plan for the future.
