For aesthetics, not strongman muh numbers bullshit.
I just want my chicken legs to get proportional.

Is leg extension really useless?
I started doing legs without squats but just the leg extensions on my home bench. Well it sure made my legs harder than before I began working out. But after 6 months I didn't add any size. So then I finally started doing squats, light weight, because I'm a recluse at home.
Doing both legex and squats added a tiny bit of size. But I get exhausted after doing both. And I read how leg extensions are a waste of time, so I dropped the leg extensions.
Well I noticed that I don't get the same results post workout, no more temporary size increase, no more the same definition when i flex.
Shoud l I just continue with squats? I have no energy for both squats AND legex.

Train like a powerlifter. At least for the lower body. You can keep your "aesthetics" upper body exercises
So i made a spreadsheet for the texas method (original one substituted GHR with rows). problem is, the 5 pounds per 2 weeks on bench and press seem to low. Did I fuck it up?

bump pls

Just try it. Id say its still too high if your already intermediate.
>>42142184
the lifts in this spreadsheet are accurate except i was doing 290 for 5x5 so i guess legs were a lot stronger, i stopped training em for a bit to make em more equal
I'm currently working out 4 days a week but finding it hard to resist the temptation to lift on my rest days. Do I really need rest if I have little to no DOMS? My body feels ready.
>>42142059
LEARN A DIFFERENT SKILL, LIKE RUNNING ON YOUR REST DAYS.
If you dont care much about strength progression, go for it

Or how to not come off as a complete moron; the art of not writing in caps.

You're obviously new to lifting. Lift more if you want to and feel like it.
The objective is hypertrophy.
Which one is best?
3 sets of
( Ez-curl bar to failure
then V sits on bench to failure
then Neck curl on bench to failure )
in this order, one after the other.
Or
3 sets of Ez-curl bar to failure
THEN 3 sets of V sits on bench to failure
AND FINALLY 3 sets of neck curl on bench to failure
I'm getting this unsettling pain on the underside of my elbow after chest day. I do the standard barbell/dumbbell routine with dips at the end.
I can't figure out what I might be doing wrong. Help a brother out before I fuck my shit up
See a doctor and stop working out till then.
>>42141996
Probably bad dip form and/or tendenitis. Check your form. Ice and heat. There is no cure tendenitis is genetic
>T. Have same pains and doc said tendenitis.

Hey guys
So the last few years the strength of my erections has declined. I used to get gnarly hard as a rock, throbbing, you could hang a basket of water melons on it kind of boners. Shit I used to come and the old boy would stay just as hard!
Now adays they are half hard. Almost like blowing up a balloon that has a hole in it. Its a pain in the ass to keep it usable. Haven't had a sex partner in a while and I can get myself off pretty easily half hard, but when I do have sex Its frustrating I can't rise to the occasion.
Before you mentions these things:
I'm not fat
I don't smoke
I don't eat fast food(Keto & intermittent fasting master race)
I run three miles a day 6 days a week
I lift 6 days a week
I swim 5 days a week
I play high level masters water polo 4 times a week.
I think I broke my mental shit by jerking it too hard and fast and also too much visual stimulation by flying through porn videos the last few years. I want insane erections again. HELP ME.
To keep this lifting related, whats your guys favorite hamstring exercise?
Stop viewing porn, masturbate less. Dont just crank your dick off either. It will de-sensitive it.

You don't mention your age. I'm 41 and just started experiencing half chubs after my first ejaculation. Which never happened to me. I went to the doc, had my test checked. Everything has come back better then anyone could ask at my age. I'm trying cialis this weekend. I'm pretty much you to a T health and excersise wise.
>>42142189
Oops I thought I added my age before I posted. I'm 27.
Is the Jefit The 5 Day Muscle Mass Split a good 5 day workout?
Anybody have any other suggestions for jefit 5 day full body workouts?
Wtf is up with all you nutjobs, constantly wanting new programs, as if it makes a huge difference to your twink bodies.
The fundamentals never changed since we evolved and learned to lift. Now fuck off.
best rep range for tall anons?
whenever I try a workout with too much volume i get sore for days. Im talking tennis elbow and I walk like gru from despicable me the next day
should I stick lifting heavy 3x8 with rest pause and reverse pyramid training? or stick with high volume workouts and take ice baths and vitamin C to increase recovery?
Its a plan from bodybuilding.com and my gut is saying its a plan for fake nattys and manlets
>FIVE minutes before a meeting and I'm getting in a few moments of memes for the day before work shit takes me over for the next few hours.......................
How's your day so far /fit/ ??
Does anyone here have experience with taking an EC stack?
Honestly, I just saw an infograph how to do one and hopped in 4 days ago. I'm 6' 205 lb and would really love to lose 20-30lb. I've always loved lifting but can never seem to stick with it. Exercise in general has always been a great joy for me, I used to play water polo in high school.
On the other hand, dieting is something I have a tough time with and always bitch out real quick. A few days eating 2000kcals and I get the "fuck-it"s.
With the EC stack I'm eating 1600-1800 kcals no problem with almost no cravings for sweets or awful food.
I do feel like a pussy abusing OTC medicine and like I'm robbing myself of an opportunity to nurture self-discipline and determination, but god damn if I don't think I'd be more willing to push it hard as fuck in the gym once I lose this gut I'm carrying around.
What do you guys think? I'm I overreacting? Is it more or less dangerous than I'm making it out to be? Not gonna make it?
Also, EC? Or ECA.
Pic is what I'm gonna get if I go ottermode.
that sweater's gay as fuck. get out, faggot. sage for you so no bump either, asshole.

I'll need it when I start my numale wave rap project, Donald Cuck
Bump, because why not
Has anyone had any experience with Hakker's stacks/routines or similar stuff for height growth? I'm talking about the "according to some studies, these chemicals might be able to influence GH/IGF-1/osteoblast growth".
Considering the dietary effects of things like milk (good, kinda!) and soy (estrogens!) it seems hard to believe diet/supplements aren't a secondary factor for height development, assuming your growth plates are still open.
There's a shit ton of technical phrases like DNA methylation and plenty of chemicals I can't pronounce, but I'm leaning towards the conclusion that someone who focuses on these routines might be able to scrape out an extra inch while they're still growing.

>there are people who keep growing their whole life if they don't treat it because of problems in the pituitary gland
>scientists still haven't found a way to mess with that
Why?
>>42141840
>6'1", 5'10''
>>42141737
This just boils down to what everyone already knows: genetics provides you with a height range to land in and your diet, sleep schedule and exercise will determine where you end up in that range.
Anyone else doing SS here? Starting Socially
What can I take similar to supersoldier serum to get a physique like this?

My grandmother complimented my gains today, which was really heartwarming. I hope something nice happens to you as well.
>tfw my parents are massive gain goblins
>feeling an amazing pump, lifts are great, decide to push out an extra few reps on my last set of bench
>gym commissar stomps over and accosts me for taking more than my fair share of lifts
>seizes my whey and redistributes it throughout the manlet pit
>sentences me and my family to 15 years of crossfit in the gains gulag
Has anyone else's gym experience gotten significantly shittier since the govt connections to Russia were finally laid bare? I miss the good old days of government sponsored creatine during Obamacare.
