That shit is more hard than I thought. It's probably because I have bad core, right?

Can OHP contribute to a "blocky" physique?
When I was OHPing today at a new gym I'm trying out, they have mirrors (bad) at the racks, so I was seeing my first OHP in the mirror for the first time.
I noticed that my body looked like a fucking block when I was OHPing.
Now I'm starting to think all this standing free-weight barbell training has contributed to me having a blocky physique because the center of my body must get bigger in order to support free weighted movements.
If I was to switch to doing everything seated and use dumbbells, or even machines stuck in a fixed motion, wouldn't that allow for a V-taper type body, since my core wont be being activated anywhere near as much?
Any ideas?
You're probably just fat as fuck or have a wide waist

BFR prevents injury, by allowing to do high reps with lower weight(less stress on joints and shit) while still achieving hypertrophy, why aren't you faggots not doing it?
>>41813649
this is essentially how serge Hubert trained: 6x12 on 6-8 major movements at 50-60% max with 2-3 drops reducing weight by 20% each drop. Allow for 30-45 second rest between sets.

I made some motivational wallpapers for myself a while back. I did it because I wanted to be greeted with positive concepts and quotes since I use to spend a lot of time at my PC. Perhaps they can help you guys out too.
I got tired of looking at shitty motivational wallpapers found on the internet. Most looked like they didn't even attempt to make them asthetically pleasing.
>inb4 yours look like shit
It's my style and preference, I don't care what you think.
Enjoy.

yup so how do you grow your biceps easy and visible results?
am trying now alternate dumbbells + picrel
>>41813037
NO.
Never grow biceps as a single muscle. Biceps grows itself enough while doing bench press. If you want to do more do curls as your last exercise.

Jesus christ, dude, what the fuck are you doing

Hey /fit/
So I decided I want to start taking Viagara. Anyone have any experience/stories? Does it actually work well?
Im from USA, where can I buy without a prescription? Online sources? Why does it seem so stupidly expensive?
I'm fit, 25ish. I don't smoke or anything stupid, recovering porn addict I guess but it's more related to nerves.. just hard to get and stay hard with the thicc brappers cause I'm still beta as fuck inside KEK This is just something to lean on when my head is being stupid. I think just having it will solve my problems without needing to take it.
Sexual enhancement thread I guess.
>>41812981
What the actual fuck, are you literally me? I'm 25ish and basically everything you just said. I had a couple occasions drunk I couldn't get it up and chalked it up to nerves, was with a bish the other night sober and couldn't stay hard, I'm thinking nerves. I'm also trying to kick porn. But anyway I bought a prescription from an online doctor I am supposed to just take it to the pharmacy to get the pills but im too nervous cause all the Qt pharmacists will laugh at me.
viagra sucks use cialis
>>41813101
thanks friend
>>41813095
online doctor prescription?? How??
Its just nerves friend. Porn is the devil and should be stopped but aside from getting LeL "old" Im pretty peak physically. I'm way to into my head and can't break it.
I know If I have a couple of these red to go then I wont worry or even need them. And then nights I want to seriously party hey man pop these bitches like chiclets.
What things are important to watch when you eat? I know calories, carbs, and proteins are mostly what people talk about but how bad is it if you consistently go over your limit on something?
The things I'm wondering about specifically are fats (typically saturated fats) and sodium.
Also what's the best way to get enough protein? I looked up some information on how much I should be eating and it's recommending around 140g a day. In a normal day I probably have 50% of that, which could possibly be an issue if I want to be working out. Should I just get some protein powder and mix that in with water to get to my daily recommendation? If so then what brands or types are the best to just build muscle?
I'm pretty new to all of this so I don't know a ton. Getting a gym membership starting next month but I've been riding my bike 10+ miles a day and I've been doing strength stuff around the house for about 2-3 weeks now. Food is something that seems really difficult to keep track of (I don't like getting a meal plan from somewhere and following that) so I just want to know what is most important.
I would like to add that pic related is what was recommended to me
>>41812841
read the sticky you fucking newfag. Didnt even look at your pic, just go to a TDEE calculator find your maintenance calories and add or subtract 500 calories from that based on whether or not you want to bulk or cut. Buy a digital food scale and set out a meal plan for yourself based on foods you like that way you dont have to count calories randomly everyday, instead its already laid out for you and you only have to count the macros once. 1-1.5 g of protein per pound of bw and you can adjust carbs and fats to whatever satisfies you. Good luck you fucking fag
>>41812916
>implying that I didn't read the sticky
I read the entire thing and that's where I got those numbers in the first place. I'm just asking here cause the article linked didn't mention anything about what my question was about.
Based on personal experiences, what do you guys think is the best fitness/supplement brand? Considering both quality and price.

>>41812732
The dollar store near me actually has their own brand of whey protein. Sometimes I think it's just ground up sawdust because it taste so bad but so far I've made some pretty good gains with it.

What is best for going to the gym 5 days a week?
There is a lot of conflicting information on bro splits and whether they are helpful or not.
Id much rather go to the gym 5 days a week mon-fri, but the only routines I can find related to this are bro splits. wat do?
>>41812705
> I'd much rather go to the gym for 5 days a week
> Only routines for this are bro splits
Well I guess you just answered your own questions, OP
>>41812713
this. just make sure not to do some 5 day split, hit all your body parts twice a week and it don't matter what kinda split you do.
>>41812744
im retarded how do i hit all muscles twice a week?
This is for those who shave their whole bodies, legs, arms, pubic hair, etc. How do you do it? I got done using 3 different disposable razors and I'm not even extremely hairy. Plus it took over an hour. And I got like 10 cuts on legs, arms, etc. I did it in the shower with no gel or anything. I figured many of you probably do as well to look better. How do you go about doing it? Disposable razors? Waxing? How long does it take you?
i just lather myself in shaving cream and ru the fuking razor through.
I don't even go slow. I just furiously scrub my hair off. Only end up with about 1-2 cuts.
Or you could give yourself cancer and not have to worry about hair growth
>>41812350
in shower I'm assuming? maybe with shaving cream it would be a lot faster.
>>41812364
Constantly shaving any hair causes your body to waste valuable circulating testosterone to regrow it.
Have fun raising your estrogen levels so you can look like a twink, faggot.
what does /fit/ think of this? I accidentally ordered this because it was in a section with preworkout supplements. it says it increasing nitric oxide up to 950%. wtf does that mean, and is there a point to even taking this shit. it says to take 5 pills 2 times a day before meals.
increases*
>buying something that you don't even know what it does
Why
>>41812049
thought it was preworkout
