deadlifts

ab wheel is very effective for strength and definition.
I've started a water fast and intend to do about 10 days. Only 20 hours in, but curious if anyone else has done a water fast before. Or does it get the /fit/ thumbs down?
Also, when you did your water fast, did you use any supplements? Potassium, magnesium, and salt?
>>41442247
Droompa loompa
Drompfhly doo
I only got one scoop why'd you get two?
>>41442247
After my winter bulk I do a 10 day cut, eating less each day, then 7 day water fast.
Best way to lose weight, also gets rid of stretch marks.
Prepare to be cold and confused from day 3+

Im fasting but not water fast because I drink coffee and tea like mad. Cant get enough of caffeine.
Its legit good, literally tons of benefits like lower insulin and insulin resistance. I just get hunger when I see food but subsides when I drink water. You should take vitamins and salt when doing extended fasting(beyond 24H fasting).
My cravings for sweet foods extremely dropped, I once tried eating my favorite cake and it felt meh, I want more Peanut butter now.
Overall my health improved and my cravings dropped so it worked for me.
Also be prepare mentally before doing any fast because you're changing your lifestyle.
Last note, I dont recommend extended fasting for people that bulk. Just a regular 16:8
Whats /k/'s thought son sledgehammer and mace training?
Personally spekaing ive been doing it for about 3 weeks now and it helped me get over my cut plateau and seems to be building my core and back muscles and making my arm and leg muscles not exactly bigger but denser.
Best of all....its pretty fun so it encourages you to do it more. (Especially if you have conan the barbarian playing in the background)

ask abortion clinics.
Do you think if someone wanted your sweet man ass in prison, you think you have enough physical strength to prevent it? If you're under 5'10 don't bother to respond.
>prevent it?

>mixed grip deadlifting

>>41442054
>how the fuck do you stop this from happening
dont curl more than you actually can i.e. no ego lifting
dont do mixed grip deadlift
>>41442054
moar like
>don't do steroids
as you may notice none of those guys are natty
no but seriously that is a big factor, if you do gear don't just start doing max strength and fucking pushing it 110% with new gains, give tendons some time to adjust
>and don't lift like a moron
New fag here. Is it autistic to ask for help or ask a dude in the gym for instructions?
I want to be fit by next semester and it seems like less people will use the schools gym over the summer.
Gym is very intimidating because I have no idea what to do. Also blacks.
>muh sticky
Sticky doesn't teach you how to not be a scared fag about going to the gym
It is autistic to ask for a random person to help, don't do that.
Just look up a routine, search YouTube videos on how to perform the movements and just do it. No way around it. If there's a personal trainer in your gym, just ask him, but not for people there working out.
>>41442009
Is it autistic to watch YouTube videos at the gym before doing a workout?
>>41441985
Pretty autistic to ask someone for instructions, if you arent sure when you are in the gym just load up a video of whatever lift you are doing and practice it in a mirror with the bar, nothing wrong with that, better than loading on 1pl8 on OHP for the first time ever and falling over backwards
What is a good 1/2 hour ab routine that isnt meme tier
>>41441906
Putting down the fork x F
You can only do one of two motions. Up and down, or side to side. So do either, it both. For a while. With it without weights. It's not that complicated.
>>41441906
>ab workout
>not meme
pick one
best ab workout are heavy compound lifts and a strict diet

Been doing keto for a week and not seeing any results.
Using ketostix to test pee. Moderate amount of ketones present. Been doing more exercise.
Absolutely nothing.
Advice please.
>>41441889
Eat less, keto doesn't burn fat, calorie deficit does
>a week
Give it at least 2 months
>>41441960
To see any results?

>>41441772

>>41441772
yeah man ive been taking 10000mg a day and Ive lost so much weight I have like a 99 pack
>>41441772
I took it for 3 weeks alongside ECA stack and coccaine for pre workout (was going through some tough times) and got a stroke at the end.
Dead fkin srs.
I've come to the realization that talking to people will never be a strong suit of mine.
I legitimately can never think of anything to talk about, can't just bring up some random/stupid shit to joke about, am always in my head, and it's gotten to the point where I avoid eye contact with people because I don't want to invite conversation with them.
It's not really social anxiety - when I'm the one who isn't leading the interaction and can just respond to people I do all right, but even in those situations I find myself not giving a FUCK about what the person has to say, and feeling absolutely no fulfillment out of the interaction like I know the person better (typically forget what they've said 10 minutes after they've said it).
I've been reading this sub looking for something that I can apply to my life to fix the fact that I live inside my head, and that I live with a blank mind half the time, and trying hard to understand why I feel so much disconnect from people and naturally hate anything popular. It's fucking bullshit - I can't drink booze or smoke weed like any regular person because I think it's dirty and for faggots, don't want to go to clubs because I hate dancing and house music, don't care about current events because it's all pointless anyway, and have no real common ground with anyone my age except birth year.
Shit tests, frame, comebacks/roasting, being interesting, game.. all of that is completely out of reach. I feel like an astronaut whose cord has snapped and he's slowly drifting away from the space station.
I'm sick of having the toxic behavior that keeps me alone. What the fuck do I do.
>>41441763
What are you hobbies/interests?
>>41441796
*your
>>41441763
Try doing drugs and drinking alcohol. it's fun, normies do it all the time and that's how they establish common grounds and open up about their actual hobbies and interests.
if not, try not to be so cynical and just try shit out. it seems like you think everything either sucks or is pointless, and that's a retarded way to go about thinking about things if you're trying to become more social. you need to do the exact opposite or people won't wanna be around you and you won't get invited to shit
Help me, caffeine isn't turning my body into a raged lunatic. I've been lifting 5 days in a row and my muscles today feel like they aren't recovered from yesterday yet. PLEASE HELP ME. The girl of my dreams yesterday married her fiance and I can't give up. I can't have a rest day. I can't be left behind. I need someone to see me as strong and that I can take care of them.
She told me she loves her "now husband" because he is strong and she loves his muscles and I just want her to see me stronger than him in time.
Please /fit/, I can't have a rest day. Not like this. It depresses me to have a rest day. I'm tired, my muscles ache, my neck is sore and I just want someone to hug me and massage me and tell me enough is enough and that they will love me so I can finally fucking rest. My body is taxed on whey, on chewable glucose and glutamine...it's tired
I just want to be given a damn about.
> I just want someone to hug me and massage me and tell me enough is enough and that they will love me so I can finally fucking rest
I wish I didn't know this feel. But I do.
cringed to the bone
Rest you fucking retard. Lifting everyday isn't doing you any favors as a DYEL. Muh feels aren't doing to save you when you get injured. Taking a break will get you bigger because your muscles are resting and need time to grow
