If you're a natural and you can only gain xx pounds of muscle per year and your body can only ultimately sustain so much muscle naturally and all you care about is aesthetics then shouldn't you spend the majority of your time training your upper body and just train your legs for endurance so that your legs don't steal what little resources you have available to you and since your legs already get free training by virtue of being upright?
if you train you legs a larger portion of the weight you gain will be muscle
>>42841600
in your legs yes and your body's resources will have to go to maintaining the muscle in them instead of your upper body
If you're a natty don't train legs. Legs are a meme. They will only steal your upper body gains and your upper body will never get that big anyway. Train your legs for endurance by walking, jogging, cycling, etc and save the your resources for your upper body.
I'm new to running, been doing the couch to 5k app and just recently worked my up to jogging without stopping/walking for 30 minutes. I'm thinking about doing the 10k one next but a question I have for runners on here is how do you keep interested when jogging for up to an hour at a time? I'm enjoying running right now with music on but just wondering if anyone has any tips to keep going after let's say 30 minutes every day.
I'm thinking maybe it won't be as boring as I think it will once I start doing it but tips are always welcome form experienced runners/joggers

>>42841457
If you run that slowly that you get bored it means you arent pushing yourself, run faster famalamadingdong
Chicks jogging around in shorts like your pic rel is what keeps it interesting

I work in an office but in my free time, I chop woods, do construction work and dig holes to help my neighbors instead of being a hipster like OP's pic.
I live in a third world country and 90% of my neighbors are construction workers and carpenters. I hate my poor upbringing sometimes but at least it does not make me a faggot.

>mfw the gym had to call 911 after he tried to lift 3 plates
I'm pretty sure he got a hernia but I'm not sure, I haven't seen him since.
>>42841246
Should have recorded it.
Also guessing he was deadlifting? Hex bars are good but obviously excessive use of the spinal errectors ie. bent back, is a straight route to snap city.
>>42841246
Doesn't sound like you were being very helpful
>>42841246
Should I help people? I guess it depends. If it's like they're doing something obviously wrong then maybe. Maybe not smaller stuff cause I might be wrong. Maybe I should just ignore them and only help if asked?
I first heard about it from a friend. "You'll see crazy gains in no time." "The test boost is unreal, I'm so much more aggressive." "I have unbelievable energy all day. I get so much more done now. All my lifts are skyrocketing"
I had to try it. I was scared at first, but he assured me it was totally safe. What could possibly go wrong?
The first night I shut off all my lights, drew the blinds (blackout blinds from walmart. i wonder if the cashier knew what i was REALLY using them for...), and layed down in bed. I had shut off the computer hours ago, and now all the lights were out; for the first time in as long as I can remember, my room was pitch black.
9 hours went by in the blink of an eye. I got out of bed and drew the blinds; the sun already had a head start on its journey of the day. I couldn't believe it. I felt awake. I felt alert. I felt alive.
At first the compliments were great. "Wow anon, you're on point today!" "Have you been working out? You're looking stronger." It felt amazing, I admit. I didn't want to tell them my secret. I was afraid they'd find out the truth: I was sleeping, and I was doing it a lot.
Soon I was sleeping five, six, and sometimes - yes - even seven nights a week. Excessive? Maybe. But haven't you ever pushed the limits in your own pursuit of perfection? I was determined to achieve my natty potential, and this was a small price to pay. But pay I did.
Soon my drinking friends started to notice. "We never see you anymore!" "Come party with us!" "Just one drink, it won't hurt!" Even the girls who never paid me any mind started to creep in. Gains Goblins, all of them. They'd try to invite me over to watch a movie or "just chill". But I knew what they wanted. They wanted my precious sleep. But they could never take it from me because I was addicted; no high came close to slumber's sweet lull. I was excited to get into bed early; eager to blow off plans just to get those extra ZZZ's.
But soon I started to notice a change. I wasn't sleeping as long; what started as 9 and 10 hour sessions began to wither down to a paltry 7 or 8. I still felt great, but I felt like I had been cheated. I needed those extra hours, and I would get them, no matter what.
That's when I found it, hidden away on a shelf at my local supplement store. Tucked away between the preworkouts and postworkouts, right above the intraworkouts. A supplement I KNEW would give me the rest I craved. That supplement was Rich Piano's "Knocked the Fuck Out." With a picture of Rich snoring peacefully on a pile of luscious satin pillows. his face contorted with the pleasure of dreams - dreams of gains, great and small alike. I wanted to be like Rich. So I grabbed three tubs, took them to the counter, and handed the salesman my credit card. "I'm leaving humanity behind," I said. "Take whatever you need."
I got home just as the sun began to set. I didn't need dinner tonight; I needed sleep. So I cracked one of the tubs open. The label warned me to start with half a scoop; but I'm not an amateur in these lands. Your warnings might suit a beginner, a DYEL, but I hold myself in higher esteem.
I poured four scoops into the blender and mixed it furiously. it returned a frothy potion that held the portents of a night's perfect rest. My body was ready. It was time to sleep.
So mcuh conflicting shit on this stuff
(((Clinical studies))) show you have virtually no chance of getting side effects
Thought there are 1000s of stories of guys getting bad ED, depression, suicidal
It could be that those guys were already beta and had/would have had those things anyway, and they just coped their inadequacies onto finasteride fishing for a lawsuit
Any experiences?
Any way to get doctors to prescribe 5mg proscar to save costs? Vast majority will not do it, but some success stories
I've been taking this for a year with no side effects at all. Muh dicklet works great as usual, no depression, gains not affected...., hair lost has been reduced a lot (reduced, not stopped).
I returned after a 2-year hiatus due to working abroad and the shit was hard to get prescribed.
I take finasteride, and have had no side effects. I've been taking it for about two years and I think it's slowed/stopped recession. 1mg is the dose for treating alopecia, but you can just quarter the 5mg if that's all your insurance will pay for.
I think it's really important to catch hair loss early, then also supplement with diet, vitamins, proper shampoo and conditioner, scalp massages and even hair mask. Also consider topical minoxidil. I'm also a pharmacist, for what that's worth.
>>42841292
Is it the same as finasteride? You just divide the 5mg into 4?
>>42841352
I didn't think insurance paid for any of it
Know any tricks to get the 5mg? My knowledge is that doctors only prescribe the more expensive 1mg for ethical reasons or something
The protein "myth" has been floating around for generations. Historically, it can be traced to Milo of Crotona in the sixth century B.C. He was a famous Greek athlete who was considered to be one of the strongest men in ancient Greece. He had won wrestling victories in 5 Olympic games as well as in other sacred festivals.
Legend has it that Milo applied progressive resistance in the form of lifting a growing calf daily. By the time the calf was 4-years-old Milo carried it the length of the Olympian stadium, and then proceeded to kill, roast and consume it. Milos' daily consumption of meat was recorded at approximately 20 pounds a day.
When we fast-forward to the era of the sixties and seventies we find there was a renewed hype about protein being some sort of miracle food. This was due, largely, to the muscle magazines of the era which pushed protein and claimed it could make you grow as big as a god!
As a result, many bodybuilders and strength trainers started to consume large quantities of whole milk, meat and eggs.
Excessive protein, can cause a variety of body ailments--such as kidney and heart disease, constipation, and osteoporosis. These are often cited as the main reason one would want to steer clear of a diet rich in protein
>>42840972
Yeah bro! Protein sucks! Fuck the system!
I eat nothing but red beets and dirt juice every fucking day, and i'm jacked!

Tell me about your gym whore
Why does she dress like that?
>>42840921
Same reason guys wear under armor, to show off inexisting gains
that has to be the worst gym fit I've ever seen
why was mid 2000s fashion so shit
the young ones do it because they think they are supposed to, they read it in Shape magazine, show up a few times and get wise to the fact that they are dressed like hoes, and switch it up, and the older ones do it to draw attention away from their aging faces and bad hair and the fucking brazilians at my gym, jesus christ they are just fucking shameless. I'm looking straight into huehue cameltoe 7/10 times i go there. Brazilians just really like to be sexy as fuck at all times

what did she mean by this
>>42840908
Can't people just take a compliment nowadays
Shave?
>>42840908
Azn's don't shave half the time, besides if you aren't keeping your pubes trimmed you're fucking up. There is literally no benefit to growing them out unless you live in Siberia and refuse to wear underwear.
do i really have to buy all this shit in order to squat without hurting myself?
people might as well just stick to machines
>>42840793
Yeah, but the machines need quarters for each rep
It's cheaper at first to use machines only but over time, it's better to invest in anti-snap gear for barbell training
>>42840829
>Yeah, but the machines need quarters for each rep
is that why it's called a quarter rep?
Yea dude and don't forget to just load up 2pl8 in your first ever attempt without warming up cuz warming up is a meme. You should be able to squat your bodyweight for 10X10 for your first time
Just did 3xF sets of doll banging. Really activated my glutes, core, and arms.
How about you /fit/?
>>42840726
>cowtits
>>42840726
I hope you had fun
>>42840726
Did 2.5 hour full body calisthenics workout.
PS...how much would that cost?
Are ab wheels a meme or not?
>>42840656
No they are really challenging, and force an eccentric contraction of the rectus abdominis. However that big ass expensive one in the photo is a meme. Get a regular one
>>42840743
Just picked a random image, probably just going to get one for 20-30 on amazon.
Just finished SS, what now and how do I fix this
>>42840629
nothing
you have nice quads
>>42840629
fix what nigga, them are some juicy quads, work on your calves though.
>>42840629
Keep going
