It's a little impossible not to. The other muscle group, despite not being consciously contracted for strength gains still extends and contract at the same time as its pair. If it's not "worked out" then it doesn't grow as fast or strong but you can't really damage yourself. At worst, you'll end up looking a little goofy but it's hardly noticeable unless you roid. Like this anon said >>149861125

Intermittent Fasting is not the same as binge eating which is what bulking gyaru was doing. She was eating two meals a day and over-consuming each time. She was doing what is very common among (especially women) those who are trying to diet by eating fewer meals: failing and ending up binge eating. The message was "eat as often as you want, just don't eat as much" and "try not frying everything, maybe bake and steam your food."

There's some merit to the broscience of how the body enter "modes" of eating cycles, especially when diets change, but it's mostly in the chapter to help convince readers to stop doing it so much. Just eat good food in the correct portions regularly.

".....this is great.... I somehow managed to make it in time for the summer event"
Tachibana Satomi (29) Occupation: High School teacher

Tachibana Satomi is also a popular cosplayer under the alias 'Yuria Riko'.
"It was such a small time frame before the summer event, but I shaped my body to a tolerable level. It's still ways to go from the ideal though..."

Biweekly (once every two weeks). So, every other Thursday, another chapter is uploaded to urasunday. They're relatively short, only about 11-12 pages long.

Each chapter has one omake page. If there's desire, I can dump EVERYTHING or maybe just the omake pages. They aren't the lewdest parts, though. That's usually the diagram examples of the actual lifts themselves.

The body will metabolize certain nutrients (priority, basically) depending on your state of energy usage (anabolic, catabolic) but the myth is generally that it only applies to EATING food within 30 minutes AFTER working out.

You just need to have the protein, calories, nutrients on hand for the body to use when it needs/wants it. NOT having the calories on-hand forces the body to take it from your energy reserves (fat) but if you don't have the protein and other nutrients for building muscle, it may steal that from less-used sources.

But no, basically not. It's a total-sum game when bodybuilding. Eat enough (or more) than you need for basal metabolism + exercise by the end of the day and you're good. Gettin' REALLY specific isn't necessarily wrong, but it is extreme and unnecessary.

>>149863073

i am currently on a ketogenic diet and
people don't get that you get shredded by eating bacon and other extremely fatty foods while almost completely cutting carbs.

>"It's a costume from the manga about the muscles at the beginning of the world 'Muscles of maximum power'" [TN: 極度の筋 (kyokudo no kin). If anyone knows a better one closer to Hokuto no ken, go ahead and change it]
So, the original is
Hokuto no Ken or "Fist of the North Star"
this satire is
Kyokudo no Kin or "Muscle of the Maximum/Extreme"

So, the most accurate translation would be as you have it "Muscles of the Maximum"...but I really, really like the other anon's "Lifts of the North Star" for the comedy value and english wordplay.

"So now you get to learn how to do a front press!"
"What's with the sudden transition!!?"

"God, he actually began explaining!!?"
Use your burly shoulders! Front press (Barbell shoulder press)

Basic posture
Grip it at the overgrip (From above)--->
Place the bar a little bit above your clavicle -->
Stick your chest up -->
Elbows are in front of the bar [TN: Fucking arrows]
Model: Sakura Hibiki
"Sakura-san, you're playing the model as well!!!!"

>>149859811
Raise the barbell up
- Try not to lock your elbows out

Bring the bar back down and return to your starting posture.
This is a front press [TN: Emphasize 'front press']

Warning 1) If you bend your upper body, you'll cause pain in your back.
Be aware of your abs and back muscles and keep your upper body straight.

Warning 2) If the hand width is small, the stimulation will disperse to your biceps brachii and trapezius muscles.
Please be aware that you're bringing the stimulation to your shoulder muscles.

>>149859836
The muscles that you train with the front press
Are the (front) deltoids, and the (middle) deltoids.

"When your shoulder lenth expands, you can make your waist look relatively thin"
"It's an exercise I recommend to girls as well"
"He began a muscle training lecture..."

ketogenic diets are fine, but you're not "cutting" because you are cutting carbs or eating only meat and fats and stuff. It's STRICTLY because your calorie intake is lower.

The misconception has nothing to to do with carbohydrates. It's just that, in modern society, carbohydrates are EVERYWHERE and EASY to get and CHEAP and are extremely high in calories.

A ketogenic diet is fine (what your cholesterol, buddy) but the problem folks run into is always "WHAT am I eating wrong" and not "am I eating too much." That's all. In this manga, on that chapter, Hibiki was eating something like 6000 calories a meal and was starving herself between meals, daily, which made her lethargic and made her body think it needs to store everything instead of spend it. Which is why Akemi made the Sumo comparison; they workout like CRAZY trying to starve themselves in the process and then eat thousands and thousands of calories all at once, as fast as they can, and then nap for hours. Then do it again. Repeat everyday. This trains the body to become strong and build muscle, yes, but it also convinces your metabolic rates to create an equal amount of fat instead of creating more waste. Sumos want all the weight in any form they can get it, fat included.

>It's a costume from the manga about the muscles at the beginning of the world
Is the japanese "beginning"? Fist of the North Star was an apocalyptic setting (end of the world) so I dunno if it's intentional to be "beginning of the world" or "end of the world." It does say Bible later on so it wouldn't be a bad thing or something if it were either or.

>"How much do your muscles weeeighh!!" [TN: Pun on 'What is the color of your blood' (てめえらの血は何色だ). Suggestions are welcome]
The FotNS quote when translated was "What kind of blood runs through your veins"

Your translation is perfectly bizarre and punny. Plus, it's practically a pun on this manga's title anyway. Unless someone can come up with a pun based on the more famous "You are already dead" for english audiences, I say stick with what you have.

A-HA!

The title of the manga parody is "Kyokudo no Kin" or "Muscles of Maximum"...but it's obvioulsy a parody of "Hokuto no Ken" or "Fist of the North Star." While the literal translation is fine, the english pun of "Lifts of the North Star" fits without any complication and seems to be popular ITT. I'll run with that unless there's objection.

What's with the sudden transition!!?

God, he actually began explaining!!?
Use those burly shoulders! Front Press (Standing Barbell Shoulder Press)
Basic Posture
<---Use an over-hand grip (from above)
<---Place the bar just above your clavicle
<---Keep your chest up
<---Elbows in front of the bar
Model: Sakura Hibiki
Sakura-san, you're playing along with this!!!!!!!

Page 10
>>149859811
>>149867847
Push the barbell upwards.
*Avoid locking-out your elbows to prevent injury

Lower the bar back down and return to the starting position.
This is the front press. [TN: Emphasize 'front press']

Warning If you bend your upper body, you can cause pain in your spine.
Stay focused on your abs and back muscles to keep your upper body straight.

Warning If your hand spacing is too small, you'll disperse stimulation to your biceps brachii and trapezius muscles.
Please be aware that the focus of this exercise to train your shoulder muscles.

Page 11
>>149859836
>>149867847
The front press primarily targets these muscles:
Anterior Deltoids (front) and Lateral Deltoids (middle).

When your shoulders become broader, you can make your waist look relatively thin.
It's an exercise I recommend to girls as well.

Yes. Everything, including chapter 9, the cover pages and all the Omakes is 137 pages.

I'm unsure how many chapters will go into the tankobon, but it definitely won't be 10 chapters (too many at that point). If it's all 9 chapters so far, that's still an extra 11 pages of new content (whatever that might be). If it's fewer chapters, that's a lot of extra pages.

I doubt it'll be "uncensored" though.

When more than half the population of the country is obese, it's safe to say you're not alone. Just try to replace your snacks with vegetables, beef jerky or basically anything not a candy bar.

And stop drinking soda. There is absolutely zero value in drinking soda beyond "it tastes good" and your addiction to the caffeine. Can you imagine, at whatever age you are right now, if you developed at birth an immense distaste for drinking pop. Just how many cans, how many liters, how many calories you would have never consumed and what kind of condition you could have should that have been replaced by water? Not just fat stores, but your endocrine system and digestive system?

Your diet is important. Keep making healthy choices and start as soon as possible.

>>149873281

It's just an example. Any jerky of quality is just dried meat. I'm not suggesting slimjims or packaged jerky or anything.

>>149873281
I can't stand vegetables (fussy eater) and jerky is expensive in the UK. I already gave up pop years ago though, lost 2 inches on the waist in short order without any extra exercise or other change in my diet, felt better too.

This manga makes me mad.

I can't wait for the actual diet chapters. I dunno what to replace sweets with.

>>149873784
You just gotta learn to cook. Shitty frozen vegetables microwaved is gonna suck, but stirfry those suckers and add some seasoning, you got something good.

>>149873898
It's not just the taste, its the texture too, makes me gag. Carrots are the worst, the combination of taste and texture makes me sick; I cannot put a carrot in my mouth, no matter how it's cooked, without retching. About the only way I can eat vegetables is in soup form or finely chopped and mixed with something like chilli or mince.

>>149873856
Replacing sweets is easy...the problem is whatever you replace it with WILL NOT be as sweet or tasty or addictive. If you snack on candy all the time, you can replace that easily. Popcorn, sample cheeses, fruit slices, dried meats, hard-boiled eggs, cut vegetables etc. The problem is, it won't be candy. Sugar is addictive. It gives you a rush and crash and constant exposure will only make that more extreme.

I would not give you hope that a manga will help you solve your candy addiction. That's like telling a heroin junkie you can easily replace heroine with rhubarb or knitting. In the end, you have to commit to removing things from your diet or having the willpower to be satisfied with its replacement. You (or your parents) have done this to yourself by creating this sweets addiction. You've been told your whole life that candy and soda are "sometimes" foods and you shouldn't have them very often. This is the reason: it's bad for you immediately and bad for you forever. It's a chronic problem that only gets harder to stop.

I can't. The "combination of taste and texture" makes me sick.

>>149874063
I was the same way for a long time. For me, it was all about gradual normalization.

Just try even a small amount of one vegetable in at a time, finely chopped, then gradually work up to larger pieces and more veggies.

It takes a while, but you can do it!

There are all kinds of vegetables out there. Soft, hard, sweet, bitter, sour, chewy, crisp, fibrous, juicy. Preparing them in different ways can radically change all those features, as well. A good diet includes ALL of them. Have variety. Spend time finding what you like and how you need to prepare them.

Pumpkin is a vegetable. I'm sure you like squashes of different types. Whether it's sweet pumpkin pie to spaghetti squash that can literally replace noodles. Slices of zuchinni for stir-frys or chunks of grilled summer squash on a kebab with lamb. Give stuff a try.

I used to eat curries with chicken nuggets and that was IT. Then I started adding carrots since they had basically no flavor and added some crunch to things. Now, the best thing I add to my curry is literally $1 worth of turnip greens (that's a LOT of turnip greens) because the bitterness is astonishingly good. Slice apples, carrots, celery, potatoes, hardboiled eggs, chicken breast, beef, can of pumpkin it all goes in at barely any extra cost for 6x the amount I used to eat and 400x the nutritional value.

Veggies are good for you. A light dip can go a long way in helping them be a snack replacement, as well.

What's neat about the author is he's genuinely a BIG guy. He's very, very strong, and a veteran martial artist. When it comes to how the body works (at least in motion), it's easy to trust him. Muscular development, weightlifting, calisthenics, even diet and safety are all things Sondrovich Yabako knows well. He's not only got a large interest in this sort of thing, he's worked many jobs that required the knoweldge first-hand and this "mangaka" is just the latest of many jobs he's had. And he works fast and studies a lot for it.

Whether or not it's the top-quality of entertainment is a matter of opinion (after all, great composers know music, but that doesn't garner them attention from everyone) but you can be sure Danberu Nan Kiro Moteru's educational value has merit.

This, a little extra page from his previous work on "Kengan Asura" gives a caricature of his character.

Thread is still alive! Good to see that!

>>149888278
Yeahhhh, I know about that mega. I actually have it saved, too. The primary reason I don't take the choibashi extra page from there every time is actually because having other people contribute is fun. It's good for interest when multiple people are taking responsibility and getting acknowledgment for it. But also, and this was brought up when we were doing translation threads for earlier chapters, you'll notice the quality is different. Via that website, you get larger panels which is actually great for the translator to see the Kanji but the format somehow means that only static, simple pages look any better; the complex, busy pages have pixelation and odd artifacting. Since I'm not a big image-techno guy and don't know formats, I forget what's going on or why, but it is noticeable. The urasunday sourcing, however, is smaller, but those problems don't exist. That's the tradeoff. For a while, we went with that mega's files, and recently we've done the urasunday files. Personally, I just like the latter. However, I did forget somewhat about it, and I think it would be kinder to our TL if I remembered to post the link so he had larger kanji to read...

So yeah, I know about it, but I like having someone else out there who loves the manga well enough that he always come through with the extra page when asked. It's a group effort and it's good to see! Also that mega gets the chapters a full week before they're posted to urasunday. The time table is quite a bit pushed forward and that's both a little spoiling and full of temptation. Like, next week, that mega will have chapter 10 while we will now wait two weeks for urasunday to get chapter 10. Cool, but I dunno. Feels like cheating somehow.

In the squats chapter, she's barely able to complete 10 squats, but in the planks chapter she's hitting a punching bag at machspeed velocities that snap metal chain link. Machio says he began curling the measly weight of 50kg dumbbells. Gags.

I wouldn't pay much attention to the actual weight being pushed and pulled.

Naw, he made a thread asking for new meme shit, since he's out of loop and still wanted to do it.

Though I think this might be the last one we'll get, seeing how out of it he is now.

This.
The bar alone is what, 10kg?

>>149907398
Usually 18 to 20 depending on the alloy

>>149903168
That was my first impression after reading the first 3 chapters.
Manga is looking good so far, just hope it doesnt over stretch things.

>>149907398
The silverman gym in the manga is based on Gold's gym. They use Olympic bars which are 20kgs.

This kills me. Who the fuck thinks it's a good idea to eat shit right before workout? You know they have this shit set up right at the fucking entrance so you smell the pizza as you walk in on an empty stomach. This is how you get shit like greasy weights and bars.

Fat shaming not allowed, the woman who just ate an entire pizza before spending fifteen minutes on a low setting treadmill is just doing it her own way. She'll shed that weight through the power of her self confidence.

I don't care I have to pay more any other gym in this town. I only went with Planet Fatness because I tagged along with some one who could bring a guest while I was between jobs.

No free weights sucked.

>>149913474
they're opening one nearby. It's really close and at the price it's tempting, but I have problems with the pizza/food shit. I sorta get the Lunk Alarm thing (pandering to normal people who just want to get in shape without being intimidated by gym rats), but the thought of fat middle aged/older ladies laying back on treadmills/exercycles eating pizza disgusts me much more

It's really a brilliant business strategy in its own way. Tempt people who want to lose weight and shit, then ensure they never actually do so that they never leave.

Brilliant is a decent way to put it. They are an extremely successful chain worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of locations.

They've basically hooked their "prey" in two ways:
1) Provide customers with what they want. Both the equipment to lose weight and the very reason they have excess weight to begin with.
2) Provide their customers with guilt. They will return to keep trying to lose weight but will be too tempted to deny what is supposedly "free" food they've "paid" for with their membership.

It's highly effective. And EXTREMELY disingenuous.

>>149922304
Don't forget they are creating a "safe" space and discouraging more visible/audible displays of physical fitness. I would assume that not having to hear a guy grunting as he lifts would do wonders to making someone who just ate half a pizza at the gym.

>>149916362
>>149918293
Alpha as fuck

>>149916362
Why not make some dumb concept like a "hardcore area" or something where people that actually want to workout can do their own thing, instead of losing costumers (the ones that are more likely to still keep going six months after they subscribe)?
I don't even think the "lazier" customers are bothered by the grunts, to be honest. This particular policy sounds like a young executive having a stupid idea and no one correcting him.

You're right, it's not the "grunting" they're intimidated by. That's not what's offensive.

They, themselves are offensive. Not the serious lifters, the lazy ones. They know they're out-of-shape and they hate themselves for it. They know already or will quickly learn that losing that fat and gaining the muscle they want is not easy, that it's very hard and requires willpower. They know they will almost certainly fail, after all, they've never succeeded before in the past: paying a small monthly fee is not motivation enough to put in the work required for what they want. People are stupid, that's for certain, but humans know their limits and hate themselves for failing. Those "lunks" who go regularly, lift heavy, stay for a long time and have focus?

They hate those "lunks."

Just seeing them is enough to be offensive. The Planet Fitness gym (like nearly every fitness gym for normies) is not there for use as a training center. It's a business and the best thing for them is to charge lots of people lots of money and the best clientele are the people who will come to the gym the least. The worst people, in fact, are the ones who pay the fee but come everyday and pound out their routines while never buying "premium" things, never buying for their vending machines, never fundraising, constantly wearing down the expensive equipment. It follows that gym managers find ways to turn them away. They're rare people to begin with, it's not hard or much a financial blow anyway.

>>149923841
...I never thought of it like that but that makes perfect sense. I always figured gyms were for people who wanted to work out. That's really insightful. Execs don't care about you, they care about profit.

>>149923841
This anon is completely right. It's the same everywhere. Social justice, politics, gamergate, lunk alarms all that stuff in reality isn't about making everyone equal or making everyone happy and removing rape culture or racism or blah blah blah. It's unhappy, ugly people who know it and they hate the happy, pretty people for having what they don't. And now, today, it's super easy to yell at the people who have and pass it off as liberalism. It ain't about a safe space it's about removing others because that's easier than improving.
