let's talk about monk mode
I was utterly disappointed in my life and in myself for a year (1st year in university), so I am going to cut off all contacts with my "friends" and try to become a better human being by reading, playing music, doing martial arts, lifting, studying and travelling.
does anyone have experience with monk mode? any tips? stories to share?

That's more cocoon mode desu and you won't be as productive as you think you'll be. Trust me. Unless you want to be a big strong fit guy who plays WoW all day then don't go cocoon-mode. There will never come a point where you will be satisfied with yourself and think "yep I've got the body of my dreams it's time to live my life!". Life is a journey with milestones along the way; it isn't a detour you can take and then go back to the road you were on before.
Don't be a legit monk either, it's a scam to exploit you for free labour

dont do it if you are thinking about returning to society, you will missing a lot of things.
I say that you do almost the same, minus cutting contacts with "friends", as is more fun and you will have social gains.
>>
>>41900844
just do these things without cutting contact with anybody you imbecile

I am perusing a job as a wind turbine technician.
One of the requirements is to be able to climb 300ft multiple times a day.
What are some exercises I can do to assist this?

I use it as a safety net in case I'm missing things in my diet, it doesn't replace proper nutrition though.
Also, zinc makes me cum buckets.

Your body doesn't really want to absorb all that shit at once. A lot of vitamins are also not very bioavailable. Get the Kirkland Multi and take half twice a day with a big meal

can anyone help my bro out?
my bro's very similar to me but he's 30 years old, much taller and seems to lack a self-awareness (problems are that he's a nerd, not that he's s shy "social anxiety" like me). He's still holding out on getting a pretty Japanese gf and he's been living in Japan 5 years.
I want to tell him to start roiding like I did but I'm too much a faggot to admit I'm /fraud/. He has so much potential he's like 6' while I'm 5'5. I also haven't been close to him in 5 years since he moved so I find it really hard to talk to him.
what do? I was also approached last month by a cutie Asian girl but I said no because I don't feel right when my bro's got nothing. as a manlet Asian girls are half of the girls available to me.

/Fit/ I'm starting a new job next week - it's Mon- Fri 0830-1730. My gym is 24/7 planing on working out early morning to avoid crowds -
Am workout bros what's you strategy? Do you eat before working out?
If so how long do you wait before training?

IF, I don't eat before 12-1pm
Training on an empty stomach is fine, just sip some coffee on your way to the gym, optionnal BCAA.
In my case, I need to wait at least an hour and half to be safe, and even then, heavy squats or deads, or intense core workout bring me to the verge of puking.

Do nothing but lifting, combat training, eating well and fucking whatever moves 3/4 of the year and go to war for the summer.
Then if you are lucky you will fall in battle like a hero.

Everybody hates this dude
>Powerlifter approaches bench

>arches back like a barn roof
>benches, does touch chest due to arch, but elbows bend just as little as the bro earlier
This is accepted.
Why is this, /fit/? Powerlifters have to squat to below parallel, so why do they not have to bench to 90 degree bent elbows?

Powermemers hate bench because they suck at it, so they try their hardest to cheat it.
>>
because the chest is the only reference point that allows for accurate judging
>>
>>41900570
some of them are great at it, and have a fairly minimal arch. have a lot of respect for those guys
But yeah, some of them dont seem to want to actually get a strong chest, and just "focus on technique", which revolves purely around reducing ROM to zero

Don't buy books like this.
I used to buy books like this (and still occasionally get gullible enough to do it), but they're all worthless pieces of shit. Anecdotes, some boring ass, obvious sayings, and no real substance.
Save yourself the money, and the time. Literally every time after I get 10 pages deep in one, I think to myself "God dammit, you did it again".

>weak wrists

>Weak wrists
Can't be weaker than mine. Broke one and tore a ligament in the other. Ideally you should have
>Pull up bar
>Gymnast rings
>Parallel bar or Push up bars
>Some resistance bands for prehab
Just start on the reddit body weight routine for now. I'd say get to 3x8 Pull ups and dips before you start any static hold work (Apart from handstands which you should do from the begging)
>>
>>41900170
Don't know about your fucked up bone diseases, but as a recovering Auschwitz skelly, who started simple Calisthenics at home before hitting the gym, weak wrists go together with poor hand grip. Grab yourself a 20 dollar pull up bar, handgrip trainers and high enough chairs for dips. There are some nice Calisthenics programs by Hasfit (free on youtube) and athlean-x (70 bucks)

I've got a feeling it might help you when you are new to exercising but you'll quickly stop gaining anything from it due to not getting enough resistance or chance to progressively overload your body
