You literally have 10 seconds to explain why you're not using resistance bands
>>41771377
because I use chains like any heterosexual man
>>41771377
Because if they fail you could easily be blinded.
>>41771377
i use them for warmup
>>41771411
literally never happens unless your setup is absolutely retarded and you stretch the bands way beyond their intended ranges
>>41771390
both have different uses
ever heard of lifting with reverse band?
So, I went to a planet fitness for the first time over the weekend with some family while traveling. Never been to one before and the family said they loved the place. Since they are very new to working out they did not know any better. I get in and look for squat racks, bench presses or deadlift stations and to my amazement they have none. This is warning sign 1, 2 and 3 for me and enough to completely discredit the place. We continue on and in no time I get hit with the "Lunk Alarm". I never heard of such a thing. I thought it was a fire or tornado drill. I then get lectured about this place being non-judgemental and gymtimidation. I begin to tell the workers and patrons they they are a bunch of faggots and should be imbarrassed. The "Lunk Alarm".... How did we come to this /fit/???
It's a gym for people who hate exercising, like how a Prius is a car for people who hate driving.

>implying u can even get anytype of a workout at pf
>>41771250
Are you 15, OP? Why did you expect PF to have literally any of those things?

Do these muscle combinations even make sense?
"If you try to gain weight continuously for longer than 3 months or so, your body begins to respond more poorly to hypertrophy training and because all gains will be some muscle and some fat, you’ll get too fat to gain muscle at best rates if you try to gain for too long. Gain for 2-3 months, maintain for 1-2, cut for 1-2 months, and repeat for best results in the long term.

I gain weight since 3 months (just the first two months, since 1 months my weight is maintain)
So I want to cut 1 months, losing 1-2kg

I'm getting all 4 teeth removed tomorrow but I can't eat anything today, how will I hit my macros? How soon can I workout? I think I'll just take 2 scoops of protein shakes since I won't be able to eat. Any help?
Listen to your dentist, stupid faggot
>>41770899
Getting a proper operation then?
I had 3 removed at once. Just had local anaesthetic, took like 30 minutes. Worst part is the awful smelling and tasting packing they shove in. I actually swallowed some of mine when having water. Disgusting.
Mind you, mine were fully emerged and straight; they were just super tight and causing problems (infections due to not being able to brush properly, constantly cutting into the sides of my cheeks, etc).

Once you run out of drugs you can dtart working out again. Eating solids probably a bit longer though. I chugged many proton shakes and ate many soft pastas.
on which exercise do you feel the strongest mind-muscle connection, and on which the least?
for me the strongest is lat pulldowns with strict form, and the weakest is flat barbell bench. i'm obviously working chest with it because it keeps growing and getting stronger, i just don't feel it much.
Lat rows, isolation type movements, bicep/tricep
Don't feel to much from dl but thats because my low back is fucked since I was 25
>>41770756
>strongest
deadlift
>weakest
squats
>>41770756
Most:
Jelqing
Least:
Squats
We're 6 months into the year.
What were your new year resolutions / plans for 2017, and how are they progressing?
I didn't set any but due to circumstances fixed my lazy act and seem to be going to reach all I now aim for this year
i've lost 23 pounds since new years :3
I wanted to kill myself but i'm still not dead yet goddammit.
Is there a gayer exercise to do than hip adductor exercises?
>>41770560
>hip abductor
>still have hips
That ab exercise where you use the tricep handles on your knees and it looks like you're trying to suck yourself off is pretty close
I do those and kickbacks. IDGAF. If the muscles are there, they should be worked.
Is caffeine something that should just be avoided entirely?
Every pro-caffeine argument reeks of corporate shilling to me.
Studies etc desired.
Yes, its shit.
There's no strong evidence suggesting that caffeine is too bad or good for usage provided that your daily consumption is moderate. (i.e. ~400mg daily)
just figure that shit out for yourself
do you like coffee? feel alright drinking it a bit? go for it
if you don't then you don't
god this shit isn't hard faggot learn to make a decision for yourself
Daily reminder that these are hurting your gains. Get them replaced ASAP.

Anyone who's too poor or stupid to brush their teeth will never make it anyway.

i began my wight lose journey 10 days ago and already lost 5 kg only on diet and no exercise my question is what should i do to minimize the chances of having loose skin
a piggy bank that will be full when its time for surgery
Is it possible to donate the skin to some burn victims? With them paying for the operation, of course.
>>41770297
How much do you need to lose(Kg)?
I might wants to try intermittent fasting for a while.
Does anyone have any experience with it?
>good or bad?
>can you drink coffee during fasting?
>I have a physical job in addition to working out 5 times a week, is it still for me?
Looking for some answers as well
Can IF fuck up your digestive patterns? What are the cons of fasting?
I do an 8 hour eating window and I'm guessing that is not an issue
Most want to go for 6-4 eating window but 8 works for me
>>41770036
its good if youre a fat fuck who has issues with hunger like me
reducing the feeding a lil to about 6 hours makes you feel completely stuffed for the day and much less likely to snack or overeat
beyond that im unsure about the scientific aspect behind it
One meal a day master race reporting in!
