Why do you lift, anons?
>>42805296
I have to constantly feel pressure to be endlessly productive.
>>42805296
I want to look like DIO
>>42805296
Strength, looks, pain reduction, injury prevention.
In that order.
every handsome men out there has a squared face with a chiseled jawline
the only good looking guys without an outstanding jaw are the "cute" ones, boyish guys like justin bieber, one direction boys.
Is there any correlation between a proeminent jaw and health? Evolution teaches us that we seek the healthier partner and judging by what every woman says about a nice jaw, we must conclude it correlates with something, but what?
And how risky are jaw implants?
>>42803905
Why would there possibly be a correlation between your jawline and your health?
The whole field of evolutionary psychology is a joke, it's completely unscientific, so taking any assumptions about how attraction works from it unless otherwise proven is silly.
Loads of people are attracted to redheads, and that has nothing to do with your health. Same with having blue eyes, or a certain aesthetic overall.
Attraction is never going to be as simple as "People like X feature, therefore it is associated with improved health outcomes somehow", and I think you know that.
Also, this isn't fitness.
I had a chin implant im fine it looks good but it doesnt really change your jawline. Ensuring a good jawline comes from good orthodontic work, those wrap around headpieces are actually really underused for children they guarantee a good jawline. If youre an adult you may just need a maxillary impaction like pic related. It lessens the length of the face while pushing the chin out forward.

>implying big butts and wide hips don't trigger your neanderthal to think she's a good breeder
>implying a big jaw doesn't mean high testosterone
>implying a wider frame is not related to better genes
>believing attraction is a personal choice
>believing not 100% of women would pick the 3 guys in pic related over any other facial feature
hey there pua
Redpill me on misc

Pop music of today is made for everyone to understand without any thought. Thats why even children understand every lyric in it. The melody is mostly recycled all the fucking time, so everything sounds the same. No meaning except making money and to satisfy momentery needs. It has nothing to do with what music used to stand for. Same goes for pretty much any techno shit.
If you truly enjoy music and you are tired of listening to the same shit everyday, try progressive music.
Music can be complex, you can listen to a song and never get bored of it because you are always able to discover something new.
I would encourage you do listen to this.

Misc on the other hand is stupid.

Diet normally helps with cutting day in your face and giving you more edged features. Helps a bit.

Gained 8 lbs in one Saturday by binge drinking and eating gas station pizza AMA
>>42826476
Why are you like this?
>>42826492
It's a viscous cycle. I can drop 5 lbs during the week by eating healthy and working out but I can still manage to ruin it all at a Mexican restaurant
>>42826476
as in you ate 8lbs of shit or you literally gained 8lbs of body fat in one day? that's like 28000 calories

I'm doing coolcicada's PPL, my question is: how should I progress? Should I increase weight every week? Won't I burn out if I try to max out a 3x5rm every session? Should I incorporate Rpe?
>>42826083
You should do something else you DYEL because it's obvious you have no idea what you're doing and PPL is shit.
>>42826083

>>42826075

Life is hard
Do you only take your brotein powder on days you lift or everyday, /fit/?
Never lol, I just eat real food
>>42826035
are you serious?
you have to calculate how much calories you need and look how much of it is protein.
most parts you should fill with food, but protein shakes can be a substitute or an addition no your normal diet.
How do you measure your caloric intakes bros? I'm as of now eating some rice and stewed meat, but even if I wanted I wouldn't know how to measure my macros
