Hi, i'm very new to this sub reddit and i wanted to ask a a question. My name is Austin and I am 19 years old. I play school basketball and I am in a decent shape, not great (249 6'1). I started going to a gym so I could strengthen up and lose weight. Every time I go I always feel so afraid to do anything. During the school year, weight training was mandatory and I considered myself being pretty strong, being able to have a 250 bench max, 350 squat, 385 Deadlift. But at this gym, I can't even rep 115! I haven't been able to lift since December, the end of my first semester at school (classes change at the end of the semester so i didn't have it) I expected to not be able to do all 250, or not even 200. I say all of that to say this, i'm so self conscious and afraid that i'm weak in the gym and people will look down at how big I am and think that i'm just a ordinary fat guy. Do any gym members know how to help me?

Seems to me genetics is 90% responsible for whether you'll be fat or fit

fat is 0% genetic and 100% choice
fit is 20% genetic 80% choice
high performance is 50% genetics, 40% substance abuse, 10% choice

How does one train for explosiveness and reflexes?

A short routine of exercices (all groups of muscles). So short reps done fast, as much as you can handle. Plus martial art for the reflexes.

Training that gets your body used to moving in coordination can help with proprioception, which in turn allows you to respond more decisively to stimuli (that response time=reflexes). So for this I would recommend skipping, oly lifts, and anything involving hand-eye coordination (squash, fencing, boxing, etc).
Explosive potential is, from what I understand (and please don't quote me on this), largely genetic, and has to do with an individual's proportion of fast to slow twitch muscle fibers. That being said, it should still be possible to maximize your own potential through CNS training (very heavy lifts) and HIIT comprised of plyometrics and/or sprinting.
In all honesty though, if you're training for a sport, probably the best way to get better at it is to focus a lot of your time on DOING the sport its self. Sparring or practice matches with a partner above your skill level are the GOAT methods for improvement.

So going through a break-up. Lost all my interest on lifting, even going to work. I told myself not to fall in love but I'm a retard. can I even recover from this? I think this could be the end bros. I just wanted to thank everyone here, for the laughs and memes.
To make it fit related,dumbbells or barbell?

I know that feeling, just keep hanging on and it'll get better. Barbell for sure.
>>
>>41817297
I used dumbbells because no money for barbell and I don't feel strong enough yet.
You in the other hand you trained in case of this day, this very moment when everything fall apart. You trained to be stronger, more resistant. Now is a good time to prove it. Keep lifting.
>>
Don't give up, faggot. Break-ups ain't shit. You'll find a new, better one soon enough.
Also, barbell.

Will I ever become less fiber-sensitive, or should I just stop eating oats entirely?

what the fuck do I do about this fat fold? i'm currently 145lbs 5'11 and cutting at -1000 cals a day. i understand I'm practically underweight, but i've been insecure my whole life and just want a body i'm comfortable with before i start bulking. i used to be a skinnyfat vidyagamer years ago and have had this fold as long as i can remember
would it fill out if i started bulking? i'm running 5k every morning and have a basic strength routine i run through 4 days on 1 day off.
yes i understand i am skeletor dyel

Yes looks like it's loose skin. It happens when you lose weight too fast. I suggest you bulk up trying to build as much muscle as you can. Maybe go up to like 170, then cut down at a slower pace. Like. 5-1lb per week.
>>
>>41817291
.5 lb to 1lb per week for clarification

Just a reminder: if you can't lift more than the strongest women, you are not a real man.
If ANY of your lifts are weaker than a woman, you are not a real man.
Bu-bu-anon! I can bench and diddy lift and OHP more than the female records but my squat is just below because I have bad knees! IRRELEVANT. If you are weaker than ANY woman in ANY capacity, you are NOT a REAL man.
The only exception to women's records are trannies. If the 'female' used to be a guy 'her' records don't count as a female lifter.
All that being said, I don't think there is a single real man on /fit/.

if you want to burn fat eat less
strength training is for size not for fat loss
File: IMG_6263.jpg (37KB, 555x444px) Image search:

37KB, 555x444px
Workout A:
3*6 pull ups
3*10 seated cable rows with wide grip
3*12 OHP
3*6 Benchpress
Drop set lat raises
3*8 Front squats
3*5 Deadlift
2*15 calf raises
Workout B:
Same as A but db incline press instead of benchpress and OHP after it. Also no deadlift
Core: 2-3 exercises targeting abs and
obliques
Routine:
AxBxAxB
x=rest
Questions:
Is this routine good or bad? (Please elaborate)
Is it ok to do core training on rest days instead of on the same days of full body training?
Is there too much volume?
Notes:
1. Focus is on back and shoulders
2. Trying to get more flexible so I can switch front squat to regular squat
All advice appreciated!

Pretty bad honestly. Dont expect to improve at all if you are benching pressing deadlifting and squating on the same day. Just do SS

Please answer :(

Hey boys, gotta question for you. So I just got back into hittin the gym now that I can afford the membership again, for about 3 weeks now I've felt sore like usual, but it's stopped, I don't feel sore anymore, I feel a little sore but more like a dull sore than a sharp sore. I feel the tightness and the pump and I hit muscle failure everytime but I'm just not feelin super sore the next day, is that normal?
>tldr After 3 weeks of lifting I've stopped being anywhere near as sore and I'm still pushing it to the limit, normal?

They're helpful for forearm strength which you need when you're deadlifting a lot or rowing a lot. Also pretty good for bass guitar.
>>
I find grip strength to be really helpful in day to day activities, in my work I see kids with week little wrists but with generally strong arms and I see them struggle and it's almost comical.
>>
They make you awesome at handshakes. Grip strength in general is surprisingly specific, though. Nothing will make you nearly as good at static holds as doing static holds, and so on.
