Fuck friendos. I had some awkward pickup attempts in the past, but that's one of the worst. I'm not even makign this up. I hope she doesn't report me to the gym staff (this is a university gym, they're super touchy about people talking to the women, something about making women uncomfortable).
Yes, I know I'm an idiot for even trying at the gym. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother talking to women IRL, I've only been laid a bunch of times from tinder and it's infinitely easier than picking up real women.
>>42224520
Jesus Christ, that pun was so shit that it didn't matter whether she got it or not.
>>42224520
I would have laughed OP, but I'm only a 6/10 and probably have autism too.
Last time i came here i got a very mean blunt and truthful answer from real people when it came to lifting and gains that worked so here I am again, do you guys have any tips and tricks for approaching and obtainong abs and your approach to core training?
>>42224483
>Tips for core training
Squats, deadlifts, direct ab work like hanging leg raises, planks and the ab roller (no, it's not a meme).
>getting abs
Diet and hope you've got good ab insertions.
What was your previous question & answer?
>>42224501
Noted! Thank you!
As for the abs, i used to have some nice ones that just kind of came with working out, i have no idea how i got them and they eventually went away. Also should i include running at all in my workout? I know they decrease muslce
how do I get this body?
>>42224397
Train MMA and do some roids.
>inb4 some retard tries to convince me the top of the heavyweights is natural
>tfw 6'4 200lbs and look like this guy
wtf he's slightly shorter and weighs 40lbs more than I do
does lifting really give you fake muscles?
>>42224428
Stipe is natty you faggot. Have you ever heard of USADA?
tell me /fit/ how to improve on chin and pull ups .
I can do 10 on the first set but the second and the susequent ones i only manage eight or less.
I kept on repeating the exercise but I don't seem to improve.
>pic kinda unrelated
do sets of 5 and add weight
>>42224240
how to add weight if I don't have the thing with the rope that they attach to their lower back
>>42224293
buy one
Now that the dust has settled:
Is SS a good routine?
>>42224207
It is a good routine if your goal is to look like pic related.
If your goal is to actually look good, you should probably do something else (both training and nutrition wise).
>year 2016 +1
>still posting mark rippetoe memes
>shiggy diggy
>>42224207
Yes
/fit/ judges it too harshly because they expect to do SS for a year and come out looking like Zyzz.
The book is called STARTING Strength.
It's very good for starting out and getting a good baseline of fitness.
After that, you can go sculpt out an aesthetic body from a solid foundation
How do I fix butt wink on the squat. I just recently fucked my lower back from it qq. When I'm finally back in the gym in like 5 months should I just ditch squats? I can't get anywhere near parallel on the squat without my back going into flexion.
Are you deaf qq
>>42223921
No why
>>42223921
I work with the deaf and qq is a form of punctuation they use for their telephone relay service.
Hey guys, I'm going to the beach tomorrow for the first time in 7 years. I really need your advice on what to do to make my abs "POP" more. As in what can I do the morning of and today for that extra help of it appearing on the beach. I really appreciate the help.
>enjoy dat ass
>>42223861
Do as many sit ups as you can. Eat a lot of laxatives so that you can clear out your stomach.
>>42223861
Just do 1000 sit ups bro.
Liposuction.
Other than that, go to a sauna and drain as much water as you can. Cut sodium. Carb load and get a pump. Thats about it.
Was pushing pretty much the whole way. I'm 185 lbs / 6'2. What are your 5k times?
>>42223618
OP your route looks like a dick LOL!!!!
The best I ever got was a 23:something back when I ran XC in high school
Distant running is gay shit though, it just took me a while to realize it
>>42223618
i dont run that far, but im 5'10 198, and run about a 9:40 1.5 mile, so if you wanna extrapolate with that you can.
>tfw fell for the SS meme
What did you fuckers do to me? I can't wear anything other than shorts and sweat pants anymore.
>actually wanting big quads.
Cucking your own cockesthetics to impress a bunch of DYEL autistic faggots on 4chan, real smart move.
Good news is that you can fix that problem by replacing Squats with Leg Press, and never doing more than 4 plates per side, and staying high rep (10+) and using Deadlifts/Deficit Deadlifts as you main leg movement.
>>42223546
SS is a fucking meme. dont do that shit
and even if u build big quads, dyel normie fags are gonna still think you skipped leg day
>>42223546
hmmmm
Is clarence0 natty?

He's admitted to not be natural, still a pretty impressive and knowledgeable guy
Hi guys
5' 7" manlet here, 18 yo
I've got a growth stunt during my 16 / 17 years because of meds I didn't even need and were prescribed for nothing
Is there yet hope for me to grow at least 5'9 5'10 by eating healthy and doing sports or should I just give up on it and live my life ?
>>42223311
My brother is 6'0" btw
>>42223311
Squats will make you a tiny bit taller but nothing significant. You're 18y/o, it's over.
Mirin' your digits tho
>>42223352
But I mean, doctors say men can grow til 21-22 sometimes
Is it possible to achieve this natty?
Also what mode is this
Tyrion Lannister and Arya Stark had a baby mode.
No its all about insertions, if you have godly ones, you can achieve joocy biceps natty, if you have really shitty ones, they'll look like shit even on gear.
Not particularly relevant but the pic made me think of it:
Have there ever been studies done quantifying retard strength and where it comes from?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aziz_Shavershian
>He would spend three to four hours a day training in the gym
Is this bullshit or not? I heard he did a bro split. How was he spending that much time there doing bro splits?
>>42223170
>>42223170
arguably most of the time was spent in the sauna, especially postmortem
>>42223180
That was Aziz having his butt anesthetized before playing pivot-butt in at a14 man homosexual orgy.
Is the Titan T2 Power Rack a good choice for building a home gym doing the strong lifts 5x5 routine? Is building a home gym even worth it?
>>42223141
It is can work with the weight you will be using, why not?
>Not going out and getting a 1500lb rated bar and cage
Enjoy your no gains, by the way.
>>42223141
A lot of the value in a home gym isn't comparing monthly cost vs equipment cost divided over time.
It's in savings in time/money with travel/gas/waiting for equipment/comfort.
If you drive 20 miles total to your gym back and forth 4x a week, that's 4,480 miles on your car, 74 hours spent in your car travel after 56 weeks, and $440 in gas.
Halve/quarter those times/costs for however far your gym is and the savings start to really kick in.
>>42223160
Are you joking or should I actually get one with a higher capacity than 700lb. I am 5'10 160 and am just beginning to lift.
