Armwrestling thread
How much do you think a man has to max dumbell curl with one arm to be a freak at armwrestling ?
Id say 45/50 kg strict, without trowing the weight like a fag, and if its a kettbel and not a dumbell better, because it puts more stress on forearms and wrists like real armwrestling does
What do you think ?
I think someone with that strenght with good technique and practice could be a pro with no probs

If its a ketbell and not a dumbell probably 40 kg strict are enough
But if a ketbell with towell id go for 35 kg strict since center gravity will be too low and its going to be hard as fuck to stabilice that

It's not all forearm and bicep though. Every stabilizer muscle in your arm is used probably close to maximally, and if your shoulder is weak it won't matter how much you can curl. I'd imagine there's a lot of lat involement and some chest as well.
That said, if you can curl 100 pounds strict with one hand, you're probably going to be a pretty good arm wrestler because you'll certainly be strong as fuck everywhere unless you're curlbro God

How strong do you have to be to 100% for sure beat the average dude. Like how much to beat like 80% of guys?

It's organic dog food that I got at my local farmers market but it seems like it would be amazing for gains. It's a mix of potatoes and beef and it's super cheap like only like 2 dollars a pound. I could get all my protein in my diet for super cheap. What would be the downsides? My Rottweiler seems to love it he has gotten pretty muscular since I started feeding him this.

Dog food is typically less than 30% calories from protein.

How do you eat your daily sardines?
For me, its in olive oils and filets. The full fish looks gross so i prefer fillets. Olive oil makes it taste better.
imo there is absolutely no reason to use chunk tuna in the year 2017. Get sardines for a snack, or canned salmon for cooking.

Just eat the whole fish. It's not bad at all, the skin and bones probably have some healthy shit in it too, but I don't know

Hey /fit/, fatfuck here. I have a question though I've read the sticky I've lurked and I'm ready to commit however right now I can only afford either a gym membership or invest in a quality diet.
I'm 6'2 270 and the goal right now is just to lose around 40-50 pounds of fat and just build on muscle as I go. However like I said I can only really afford one or the other (there is only anytime fitness and the YMCA where I live). Is it viable to rely on body weight exercise and save up for free weights as I go?
If so what are some great body weight routines that you guys would recommend? Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Need more info on your finances.
How much can you spend on food per month?
How much can you spend on the gym membership?
>>
>>41778242
Full run down is as follows.
1,980 gross income a month (paid bi-weekly)
With bills being 1,320 (Car, utilities, rent, insurance, phone, this does not include gas though which would likely be an additional 160 a month)
For a remainder of 250 each check give or take.
Right now my main source of food is from where I work at (I'm a dept. manager at a mcdonalds so I can get a free meal, which I would start opting for a salad w/ grilled chicken and only balsamic or Italian to help with costs) I would need to start clipping coupons though to see how much I would spend on actual groceries.
In regards to the gym the YMCA is around 45 a month, so while it isn't bad it isn't great either although it has more weight lifting options than anytime fitness (lifting platforms etc.). I'm pretty sure anytime fitness is either the same price or slightly cheaper I would have to setup an appointment though to find out.
Sorry for the slow response only have a phone to type this up.
>>
put the money towards a diet
Doing calisthenics instead of gym probably isn't as bad as eating mcdonalds
/fit/izens, how do you balance working out with a 10 hour job?
I just got my first engineering position and, while the money's great, I can't find the time to do workouts AND adult shit.

>adult shit.
welcome to the real world, being a wage slave IS adult shit. Get used to it. Oh, it also doesn't get any better from here kiddo. In fact it gets harder and harder as you age.
>>
>>41778166
You don't. You also don't get a gf or a life. Cut back on your hours or waste away your youth slaving to make someone else rich. Failing to heed my advice, save up for a homegym and workout an hour before or after you get home from work.

I have this in my school gym, it's a sprint machine. You can set the air resistance and then sprint as many steps as you want on it. Gives your thighs a good burn. I use it to train for rugby.

Some people lift to burn fat, some people lift to pick up the heaviest weights. Aesthetics lifts to look like models. Share routines for body and face development, discuss aesthetic improvements, make fun of the plebeians not lifting to become Apollo himself
