I can do 3x5 strict pull ups
how achievable is it to do 1x5 muscle ups in 1 year from now?
>>42253352
define muscleup. the shit you see that crossshitters do is not a strict muscle up.
you can do that kind of muscle up if you can do a pullup because it's all about momentum and technique.
here's how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7q0UhxPdLY
strict muscle up is much harder and 99% of videos on youtube are wrong. watch some legit ring gymnasts and how they do it and not crossfit idiots
>>42253391
you are right, is this what you mean by strict:

this is wonderful, do you think even one is achievable? I have been lifting for a year, doing SS and I understand how hard this movement really is.

just my 2 cents, but i think the "prank" one is the safer one... you can see that the guy does not hang in there completely like in the "this is how you do it in 5 minutes"... not letting yourself hang in there completely is safer because your fornix humeri is not getting so much stress from the weight of your body
Can i survive on no food and only water and vitamin suppliments? Im a fatass so i dont think my body will start eating the muscle and vitals any time soon, i also started running in the morning and at night, i cant hit the gym yet so anything else i can do at home exept running

Expect liquid shits.
>>42253286
you can short term but after a while (around a week) you'll start getting very sick and start having problems. no food for up to 2-3 days shouldn't be a problem unless you exercise
Someone post that retard which ended with liver issues and eventual death with this
>no food only vitamins bs
Which multivitamin is the best in the UK?
Which one do you use?
None.
Take vitamin D, Fish oil and zinc.
I thought multivitamins were a basic along with fish oil and vit d.
Anyone?
is 100g whey/day too much?
>is 100g whey/day enough?
ftfy
>>42253117
Idk nigga, I take around 50g of whey every day alone.
>>42253117
Im bulking atm and i think i get around 140 g whey.
I'm 62 kg 177 cm and lift light weight for high reps 8 - 20 depending on the exercise or to failure which might only be a few reps
I did strong lifts for a couple months and got to 105 kg squats and then dropped squatting all together and do leg press, tonight I did single leg press with no weight for 3 x 20
why should everyone lift heavy low reps again?
can't tell if male or female
>>42253120
irrelevant to the question
>>42253162
Not realy.
Due to women having less fast twich muscle fibers women should lift with higher reps than men.
How can I become a Chad ?
>pic related
I will follow every single guide you give me.
I am very obedient
You need to perform the "Chad Cultivation"
>>42253072
just be yourself ;)
>>42253076
>Chad Cultivation
what?
I have my first ever K1 Kickboxing group class today. No previous experience with martial arts.
My cardio is poor but I imagine that will improve over time. What should I expect /fit/?
>>42253069
>3
You get better at kickboxing.
I don't know what you are expecting.
>>42253284
Am I going to get my ass kicked cardio wise etc.
Will I be eased into it? It's not a beginners course it's just open for everyone
>>42253311
See above but replace kickboxing with cardio.
If you want to dosomthing else you can do shit like hiit.
For kickboxing i recommend burpes and sprints.
My friend got me into skateboarding and 5 days in and I slipped off my board after doing a tail turn on a ramp and fell on an outstretched arm with the elbow held tightly to brace my fall. My forearm bone drove into my elbow and caused a small fracture. It's swollen right now, the elbow area is in a "fat pad" state and my extension is limited.
Will I be able to lift again? My strength is so bad i cant click my fingers.
>>42253067
D O C T O R
anyway majority of lifters are uncoordinated fucks who don't have the genetics for sports. let alone skateboarding
sucks2beu
>>42253103
im going to the physio in a week, i just hope i dont lose my range of motion once its healed
>>42253067
serves you right for being a fag
How long to get to an acceptable weight?
>>42253009
Suicide x1
You could do that in ten minutes if you tried
How does one avoid becoming a strong blob?
>>42252984
by not eating a surplus.
TLOP was kanyes best album
>>42252984
Leave the compound movements to a minimum to avoid a wide waist (Thick obliques and that stuff)
>be at the gym
>bench
>feeling like i can do 1 more rep
>can't do it
>roll of shame
>2 hours later your hip flexor hurts like a bitch
>don't know why
>realize it's because you had little accident while benching
fuck my life
>>42252974
That's why you don't use clips on bench. Just make sure no ones too close and dump the weight.
Safety bars? I never bench without them.
>>42253165
i never use clips but it wasn't that much and i didn't even think of dropping the plates
>>42253197
No such thing here. My gym doesn't even have a power cage
What are the advantages of having a gym membership over buying a home gym? Home gyms seem to be a better long term investment.
>>42252959
so you have 1 reason to leave the house other than work and groceries
>>42252959
you need a house. also this >>42252966, leaving you home is good
>>42252959
As someone who has a homegym the main disadvantages are:
>lack of spotter for some lifts
>lack of certain equipment that could be beneficial (eg. reverse hyper, normal hyper, certain cable stuff and angles)
>lack of dumbbell selection, unless you have loads of room and money, so would have to go adjustable
>lack of social atmosphere and gym buds
>dead space for 90% of the time for your homegym
>if you plan on moving living place it can be v. inconvenient
Overall if you have the space and the initial capital (which pays for itself in like 1-2 years for decent equipment) I would heavily recommend it as all the problems are only mild inconveniences compared to being able to slam around weight, no waiting times, no travel time(a big one), own music, can fart, shower in house, try new things.
Lastly the cost effectiveness is pretty mild initially since you will inevitably buy more weight and other shit as you progress along but you get to keep all that stuff. But yeah its great, only genuine things i miss is the friendly banter and the spots.
>redpill me on primal diet
The primal diet doesn't take into account that humans are still evolving. Notice how many Europeans can drink milk with no issue while other populations will be intolerant.
Also the "No grain" thing is bullshit. Grain has always been available.
they never ate pills moron, only smoked weed

Hey /fit/, how do I get my pecs to come closer together. I've been building a bit of mass and definition on them, but there is still a separation between them. I keep working chest so it is really frustrating for me.
Grow some chest hair to cover the gap.
Is starting strength a meme?
I added about 30kg in 2 months to my bench on ss, but i also got fat.
>>42252882
how does one avoid getting fat whilst bulking? I've been lifting for about a week, and I'd rather not fall for the powerlifting meme
>>42252870
Read the book, it's good info.
Do the program, but not for too long.
A few months depending on where you start and how well you progress.
I'd say if you get to a point where you absolutely need more than 5 minutes of rest between sets, you should get off SS and do something else.
