>>41544080
Nice work man. Keep at it!
Start: 100 kg
Current: 91~kg
Goal: 85~ kg
Hopefully, I'll be 90ish kg by my weigh in this Sunday. That's honestly a big milestone for me.
My local gym has a middle school gymnastics team and they are selling used leotards would it be weird if I bought some? I don't want to seem weird and get banned should I just say I want them for scientific purposes?
*sniff*
I'm pretty sure they're selling them to those who are interested in being on the gymnastics team in the future. If you buy some and then never even try out, or buy some that aren't even for your gender, yes that is weird.
>>41543713
Just say you're buying them for your younger sister or something. Might even get a good greentext story out of it.
Do you eat iron? How relevant is it to bodybuilding? I just realized none of my supplements have it and I barely get the daily recommended 10mg from food. And the pills are 50-100mg so obviously 10mg isn't that much.
Iron is an important component of hemoglobin, the substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to transport it throughout your body. Hemoglobin represents about two-thirds of the body’s iron. If you don't have enough iron, your body can't make enough healthy oxygen-carrying red blood cells. A lack of red blood cells is called iron deficiency anemia.
You might need more iron, either from dietary sources or from an iron supplement, if you:
Work out a lot (intense exercise can destroy red blood cells)
seems pretty important desu even though I haven't felt the mentioned side effects

just lick barbells and pl8s from time to time...

if you are using liquid chalk or magnesium you will have almost full range of multivitamins
My highschool football coach used to chew on nails when he was a kid because his dad said it would make him tougher.
Fucking retard.

Retarded faggot mode
Why do people listen to a crazy murderer who lives in a shed without running water in the woods with his autistic wife and 17 kids while spending his days vlogging like a 12 year old girl and shitting in buckets?

It is as real as it gets
Eating clean and big. Veggies are low on calories and having protein keeps you satiated. Also drink enough water and fuck sugar and non whole grain products. Lean meat only as well. Ez pz diabeetus can't reach me.
Willpower and planning.

What's the big deal about the bro split?
is a legs, chest and arms, back and shoulders a bro split?
Whats the alternatives or benefits of stopping?
Is this a meme
>>41547518
I split them based on the big 3.
I do accessory lifts in between the 3 day split
>>41547518
I'll tell you something. Only beginners go full body 3 times a week. You will plateau and you will remain a week bitch.
You can work them harder on a single day so you NEED all those days to recover, you can use progressive overload by adding sets instead of weight, you don't have to worry about not recovering in time the next time you lift.

Ascend with fasting. Girlfriends there.
I've got my college interview soon. There's a fitness test, they've told me it's "basic running and strength tests" what can I expect exactly?
if you can't hit 1234 you're fucked breh
>>41546760
You serious? I'm so close :(
>>41546667
My best guess is basic running and some strength tests.
Good luck!

Help
Your first mistake is trying to lose weight with running.
Fix your diet and start with low impact exercises first, like walking.
>>41546276
Its mainly diet (under 1500 calories a day)
How long should I wait before starting to run?
>>41546307
You can run at any wait but you have shin splints right now.
You're going to need to take a couple weeks off of running. LISTEN TO THIS ADVICE. Training through injuries is only going to give you more problems on top of what you already have.
Shin splints are common. If you're trying to lose weight you need to focus on diet anyway. Count your calories and eat at a deficit.
Read the sticky.
Is he e-statting? He has to be.
I'm 6'1 (measured by doctor), 220lbs at around 20%bf with a 3plaet squat and I have nowhere near as much mass as him, I look dyel as hell.
I know he's sitting around 12-15% bodyfat, one reported inch shorter and 5kg heavier (and obviously much stronger), but is that really enough to make that much of a difference in terms of physique?
I'm now trying to start a shitstorm btw I'm genuinely curious.
Also I should clarify, I'm not 220lbs currently, I had surgery a couple months ago and dropped down to 200lbs due to not lifting.
>>41546226
Kill yourself my dude
Klokov's around 10-12% in my eyes, and he's at the absolute top of the weight class, so comparing yourself to him is a waste of time
Also lmao at olympic medalists "e-statting"
/fit/
what kind of calisthenics workout do you recommend for 5"6 stocky dude.
HRT
>>41546116
>bodyweight routine
run 1 mile to the gym to go lift
calisthenics usually takes fucking forever to make decent progress tbqh,
good strength routines:
Arnold Blueprint for Mass
Literally any Olympic weightlifting routine
Starting Strength (gets a lot of shit from /fit/ dudes, but its a good place to start)
???
>>41546116
Try neck hangs you pathetic manlet
then you are doing something wrong.
>>41545922
ok.
That's true, but the vast majority of people do something wrong in the beginning. It's pretty rare for someone to eat enough and correctly, do the exercises with proper form, work hard and consistently enough, be on a proper routine and so on from the beginning. The eating part is probably where most people fail, followed by having a routine with too much bullshit and thus not enough focus to make optimal progress.
Depends on what you are starting from and whether or not you are manlet.
I wanna meet the 5'4 140lb manlet that has those stats after a year.
I was going to start SS but it looks like it requires gym membership.
Do I need to nut up and get a gym membership? Also, I was thinking (when I'd eventually join a gym) that I'd go after work, but might that be a very busy time filled with chad teenagers laughing at my babby arms and terrible posture?
>>41545890
>Do I need to nut up and get a gym membership?
Are you fucking retarded...
Actually, don't get a gym membership, you already won't make it.
>>41545912
I was planning on dropping 20lbs before joining a gym, naysayer.
