Why the fuck do my forearms hurt so bad after a few reps of hammer curls? Feels like my forearms give out before my biceps feel it.
Any suggestions?
>>41476320
keep doing them until your forearms are stronger
>>41476339
Should I go lighter weight or continue with the same weight?
>>41476320
you have tendonitis and are doing them wrong

really makes you think

you have to weigh your shits first
It's in our water, it's in our food, it's all around us in shit we use every day. How do we combat this guys? It seems like there's no escaping it. Are we just destined to become femboys? Something needs to be done. The water is what concerns me the most, and I have no means to get a reverse osmosis filter system in my place right now. How do we fight this, boys?
Is there truth to this or is it just a running /pol/ meme
if so I might start buying purified water
>>41476195
From what I've read it appears to be very true. I hope someone can come here and tell me I'm wrong and that it's not as bad as it seems...
it makes sense, they say its because women are taking so much birth control they are pissing it back into the water supply
we know this has an affect because we piss large amount of caffeine into the water supply which disrupts the reproduction of fish
But on the flip side I'm not sure how much estrogen it is and if the filters are capable of cleaning it
i kinda feel like it's made up nonsense.
was accused today of being one.
>>41476175
Sounds like something a lazy person would invent to make themself feel superior.

If you're a vegan, you're an orthorexic.
If you're a trap, too, no surprise. Lots of mental illnesses go together.
Well I draw the line when my macro counting affects all my other areas in live. For example if I don't go out every out it's fine but if I decline every social gathering because of fear of getting too much calories from the alcohol then I'd say that's fucked up.
Generaly speaking I think it's not that hard to find moderation and it's not worth discussing or a whole fully replied thread.
>see a roll thread for push ups
>decide to do it, what the hell
>32 push ups
>do 16, arms kind of hurt so I pause for 15 seconds or so to get some breath, do the next 16

/fit/ is a masochistic meme
>>41476152
now call me a bitch
lmao how out of shape are you?
a set of 30 is nothing. I usually do like 70 each work out just as a warm up and cool down
>>41476172
Bitch.
Going to start working out this week. I have zero experience lifiting anything. 5'9 140lbs, just trying to look athletic and more aesthetic.
Is there a huge difference between using machines rather than lifiting free weights? I just don't want to start with nothing and look like a moron lifting baby weights.
>>41476058
look like a moron forever by using machines, or look like a moron temporarily by using baby weights. your choice OP
this has got to be b8
>>41476058
machines don't hit as many muscles at once as you can with the free weights
>>41476058
>machines
not even once.
Seriously how tall do you have to be to no be considered a manlet
8ft9 minimum
5'11 and below is official manlet tier.
>Walk into gym

Does the water fast really work?
so is it fasting and drinking lots of water
or is it fasting water, as in, stop drinking water?
one seems like no shit dieting trick and the other seems like a one way trip to the hospital
>3 weeks of alternate-day fasting reduces body weight, body fat, and plasma insulin concentrations in both men and women while a diet of 500-600 calories on 2 of 7 days per week induces loss of abdominal fat, improves insulin sensitivity; and reduces blood pressure.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4531065/
>a study in the june 5 issue of the Cell Stem Cell shows that cycles of prolonged fasting not only protect against immune system damage - a major side effect of chemotherapy -- but also induces immune system regeneration, shifting stem cells from a dormant state to a state of self-renewal.

What's the best Starbucks iced drink to get for a preworkout? I'm talking high sugar, high caffiene.
I can't take creatine because I was starting to lose my hair when I took it, so I'm trying to stick to caffiene and sugar
Also pic related: whos your lifting bae?
>>41475704
>she will never whip your ass while commanding you to squat heavy reps
>>41475704
Just get double espresso with some milk in sugar if you're gonna choose to only have a drink pre-workout. Otherwise drop the sugar and eat a bagel.
You can get a 4shot venti espresso frappucino for caffeine and sugar. We also have refreshers which are like iced teas but they have a good load of caffeine. Other than that, you can ice any drink really. A Starbucks doubleshot also has a good amount of caffeine and you can add mocha or any other sugary syrups to it.

Can anyone suggest some solid literature to motivate a lifting lifestyle?
I used to lift to let off steam from shit that pissed me off.
But now I'm quite comfy and shit doesn't upset me anymore. And I've lost all narcissism and competitiveness along the way. And lifting for grills just isn't enough.
Meaning I need to get motivation from the inside somehow. But I feel quite uninspired.
