Is it worth doing deadlifts and squats with big weights if you're not a powerlifter? I used to do 3x5 with big ass weights (4me) but now I'm considering switching to 4x10-12 with small weights for squats and dl
There is no benefit, 10-12 range is better for your joints so go ahead.

no difference in hypertrophy for doing higher rep ranges, just decreased chance of injury.
I say if you develop a good foundation, 2-3 plate squat, 3-4 plate deadlift, go for it.

>no difference in hypertrophy for doing higher rep ranges
i disagree
Is there any downside to doing abs everyday? What about smaller muscle groups like biceps,calves etc?
>>42400813
abs is bitch muscle, you may ignore it completely and you will still have seen abs after cut. Of course if you lift some weights.
>>42401045
Ignore this asshole, ab workouts are good to do daily because it strengthens your core which is very fucking beneficial.
No abs during legs day, for the other muscle groups, i's ok.
Confess your /fit/ness sins to Lord Zyzz
my chest hurts from doing coke 3 weeks ago (was my first time)
>dont let me die yet zyzz i havent made it yet
>>42400765
fucked up with tortila chips. punished my self with cardio and legs training
>>42400772
That's not why your chest hurts.
hi fit. I got a mole removed next to my crotch and it looks awful. Is this just pre scabbing or does it look like it could be infected? I've been showering daily w/ soap and have washed my sheets and never wear the name pair of undies more than once a day
halp
>>42400714
>undies
WTF dude.
Does your ass leak?
Does your dick leak?
Do you need some scaffolding to attach your sanitary pad to?
>>42400714
it's gonna fall off in about a week
just chill out niggu
>brother tells me peanut butter sandwich is 200 calories
>been consistently eating 2 or 3 a day on my cut for the last 15 weeks
>turns out peanut butter sandwich is 400 calories
Am I still gonna make it /fit/? Wtf do I even eat?
Try eating half a peanut butter sandwich.
>>42400622
count your own goddamn calories you tard
jesus christ, a good thread died for this.
oh, and a peanut butter sandwich is like 600 calories or more, two pieces of bread alone is 400 calories.
>>42400622
Its no big deal anon. An extra 200 cal isn't a big deal - even if your cut won't go as fast as you want now, its not like its ruined. Just adjust your diet in the future. We're all going to make it.
>Fell for the low test meme
My doctor actually started laughing at me fuck you guys
>>42400515
Kek this.
Told my doctor i think i have low testosterone.
>"Why's that anon? You seem to have above average muscle mass and not showing any feminine characteristics, what made you so concerned?"
if you're going to a regular GP or family doctor you're wasting your time. most of them don't know jack shit and the instant they hear you talking about "hormone levels" alarms will go off in their head that you're trying to finagle them for a prescription.
go to an actual endocrinologist.
>>42400535
You need a referral in Canada for that.
I haven't started my muscle diet yet but I've read the sticky and figured out that one of my meals is gonna be the classic chicken breast whole rice broccoli thing that you fuckers eat.
Now, I find this meal agreeable, however, I have no idea what to and when. I've decided that having three meals per day is something that I'd like to do.
The problem is that I don't know what to have for breakfast, what to have for dinner, and what to finish the fucking day with. I'd like some suggestions for that.
I also need meal suggestions to get a good rotation of meals going.
My first instinct is to include some of these ingredients.
>Turkey and chicken breasts especially.
>Ground turkey, chicken, beef or pork.
>Virtually all forms of fish
>Whole eggs
>Whole grains
>Oatmeal
>Whole grain breakfast cereals and muesli
>>42400423
bomp
Breakfast - Eggs, oatmeal, milk
Lunch - Chicken, rice, broccoli
Dinner - Similar to lunch

This actually helps me a lot, since I have no idea about meals, so thanks.
KEEP THE THREAD REPLIES GOING BOYS, I NEED MEAL SUGGESTIONS!
Yo people,
Would appreciate it if people with experience in deadlifting could watch my video and give me feedback on my form.
I try to leg press the weight up but it still feels like I'm just using too much of my back to lift the weight.
I don't normally use straps nor a belt but I was experimenting to see if they helped (same with the hook grip for the deficit deadlifts).
I've plateaued at 242.5kg/530lbs and am keen to lift more. What's worked for you in terms of technique and assistance lifts/deadlift variants?
This is the link:

nice video, i dont know shit about deadlifts though
>>42400416
OK, thanks anyway.
>>42400386
Wrong place to ask that, 99% of people don't even deadlift 140kgs, you can try /plg/ tho. Other than that not sure if i's just video angle but it looks like you're not fully locking out.
Rest days annoy the hell out of me. I feel like I should be training.
There's only so much planning you can do on rest days.
What do you guys do on your rest days?
i use to feel that way for like the first 6 or so months of lifting, then idk i started to progress slower and felt like i needed them more
>>42400474
this desu
>>42400354
how bout u actually get a fucking life that isnt revolved around lifting
How is it that I have a 6 inch dick, Im attractive and fit as fuck, and yet in social settings like bars crowded with attractive females that are dancing for dick, all I can do is browse 4Chan?
I can drink like 6 beers and still be uptight and autistic as Jimmy Neutron. WTF
Maybe you just have autism
>>42400345
are you saying a 6 inch dick is impressive? that's literally average
>>42400356
Wtf do I do about it? Try to get prescribed Xans? Test?
STOP DOING CONVENTIONAL DEADLIFTS
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=purUTMaQKuI&t=12s
no, I enjoy them
conventional + RDL one day, sumo the other day
>>42400344
sumo is the most autistic lift that has ever been invented
how is this shit allowed and legal
>>42400353
manlets with subhuman proportions need something to do i guess
How does one possibly reach such a mode?
is this a jawlet but chinmore?
Why would you want to look like that?

I thought that these things were memes, and then I saw a chaddish guy at the gym wearing them.
Mildly surprised but wasn't shocked, had to look twice though.
