I don't see much mention of chiropractic adjustments on this board for some reason. Anyone else use it for flexibility and such? Foam rollers pretty much count to be honest, with stuff like relaxing your lower back on it for lumbar decompression
>>41886018
I foam roll before every workout, usually 5-6 times a week. And usually crack my neck and back a few times a day.
Not sure if helping or worsening my posture.

I'm relatively new to lifting and just got a gym membership today. I have a few questions that I'd like your personal opinions on if you'd be so kind.
>How long before my muscles stop shaking during the workout?
>Note: this only happened on squats and skull crushers but it was slightly embarrassing
>What kind of shit so you throw in your smoothies?
>Protein powder recommendations?
Also any other general tips are welcome.

Hey so i'm 178cm, 85kg, 20-25% bodyfat.
My goals are to lose weight and get to 75kg and look lean.

This is my diet everyday:
Breakfast:

120gram chicken breast
Cheeder cheese slice
Coffee
1 multivitamin tablet
1 Fish oil capsule
Lunch:
100grams diced beef

Dinner:
100grams diced beef
120gram chicken breast
100grams heated frozen vegetables
1 fish oil capsule
Excercise:
Stronglifts 5X5
30 min Uphill treadmill walk
Can you guys give me if i am doing this right? Any advice is appreciated.
Cheers
i have same height, weight 88 kg at 15-20% bf. i look dyel as fuck even though my abs are showing . You are going to look like a skelly at 75, my advice would be for you to bulk until around 95kg then cut down to 82-85. This is pretty much what I'm going to do.
Currently proficient on Symmetric Strength once i get advanced/exceptional lifts I'll do the cut for ultimate aesthetics.

Can anyone give me their thoughts on this 6 day PPL split?
I've been doing a brosplit up until now but that needs to change
https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/6-day-powerbuilding-split-meal-plan
I'm actually in the exact same boat OP. I was planning on making this thread tomorrow morning. Here's a bump, hope we can get some good info in this thread, because each link I've found including yours have had slight variations in sets from one another, and the sticky doesn't have any info.
Ppl is the same thing as a brosplit.
Do push pull abxabxabxabx and hit legs on push and hamstrings glutes on pull

>same thing
its no where near the same
So I made a lot of research about the fastest (but still safe) way to lose weight. Hear me out.
Keto:you already know about it.
Alternate day fasting makes you fast at least 24 hours between two "normal" days. Some people eats 500kcals, but it's not mandatory and I will go for the 0kcal road. Also, keep in mind you can still do ADF and eat everyday, like:
>Monday lunch, 30 hours fast, Tuesday dinner, Wednesday normal, Thursday lunch, 30 hours fast, Friday dinner (...)
You can also go a little hardcore if you get to this point easily, like :
>Monday lunch, 30 hours fast, Tuesday dinner, Wednesday lunch, 30 hours fast, Thursday dinner, Friday lunch, 30 hours fast, Saturday dinner (...)
Or even harder
>Monday lunch, 30 hours fast, tuesday dinner, 30hours fast, Thursday lunch, 30 hours fast, Friday dinner, 30 hours fast (...)
You can also tune the hours of fasting to your feelings and needs. Hell, you can fast to 2 or 3 days if it's your thing. It's not mine, tho.
All this, you eat keto so your body is shifted to use fat from food when not fasting and from yourself when fasting.
Exercise would be incline cardio and weights.
What do you think, does it sounds good/optimal? Please don't suggest me the usual 500 kcal deficit, I have just 25 lbs to lose but even so it takes forever. I want to do something radical and be over with it.
Fucking retard there is no shortcut to success
>>41885651
Not OP but that's retarded and you're a retard
>>41885673
It's thermodynamics, actually. Keto is only worthwhile as a diet in theory to get to single digit bodyfat while preserving lean mass because the body decreases its rate of gluconeogenesis (which utilizes muscle protein) while in a ketogenic state. However, to my knowledge there haven't been any large studies showing this preservation to be true in practice, which I would attribute to a similar body state in ketosis to metabolic acidosis in which the body's pH is elevated from increased ketone body concentration in the blood, which in metabolic acidosis and similar conditions leads to muscle wasting.
All in all keto is probably a meme and may harm your kidneys if you stay on it too long.

How do I get a body like this? I feel as though this is peak male attractiveness and the future of human evolution. Believe it or not many females in my life have told me they find this body type very attractive. Work outs? Diets? Stretches? Please help

How to get pecs and abs /fit/. What's a good daily routine (pic unrelated)
If you want abs, do calisthenics movements.
L sit, dragon flag, front/back lever.
For pecs you could do the same for convenience but barbell bench/ohp seem to be best for aesthetics.
Blue should then respond "Asshole". Eh? EH?
Anyone else see the Daily Show tonight?
>I'm 6'1", 200 lbs, nobody comes up to my face and says things

Any famous examples of normies thinking they're

No, but Jason Isbell is the goddamn man, though his new album isn't quite as good as his last two
When did you realise this is a total falsehood? Some people just have shit genetics that can't be fixed like the OP pic. Even with muscle they look like shit
Why are you getting fit just to look good? Do you not care about your health?
they all look fine you goober
All except top right look fine. That dude still looks less atrocious than he did before
Post your meal, faggots.

How do YOU feel about CABRS?
Personally I tried keto for 3 days a while back, and while it wasn't the end of the world, I got tired of eating a fuck ton of boiled eggs.
Also, since I do cardio everyday, I get to eat tons of great fruits like raisins, cherries, watermelon, bananas, whatever, and greek yogurt. shit is delicious. its way better looking chiseled and tan than a bloated, ketogenic powerlifting mess.
Bumping for info
>>41885036
did keto for 3 weeks and lost 12 pounds, and went down a belt loop. Did no cardio but lots of lifting. I'm already pretty fit but was putting on fat so decided to try this and it worked
>>41885036
Carbso are good for bulking and make you lift higher weights for more reps
Good for when you do cardio too
Shit in excess
Keto fans please go
Week 3 of Couch to 5k. Totally killing it. Usually run for longer than the prescribed time like during the cooldown period, for example. Averaging ~2-2.5 miles per run.
However, I'm experiencing some knee pain when I start my run and then it eventually fades. Is my form shit? Should I get new shoes?
Anyone else do c25k? How'd it go?
>>41884969
did c26k to participate in some friendly event between businesses.
No program, just started running and not even as much as they suggest.
If you have any sort of previous fitness, c25k is extremely tame. If you're a fatass tho, it's probably tough. And no kidding, running will mess up your joints if you're fat.
Staying fat will fuck up your everything else though, so there you go.
Make sure you take appropriate recovery time.
Can you post the pic of couch to 5k?
