thoughts on grip trainers?

builds your forearms
can crush soda cans and glass (thought the latter isn't that useful)
>>41404557
50 lb increments make overload difficult
Farmers walks better.
>>41404557
good, but you have to do them every day, because your hand muscles go away really quick. also you will get serious callouses, so I suggest you buy some gloves.
Seeing as how i'm socially awkward and can't approach a female my plan is to
>lift
>get fit
>put bodypics on tindr
>???
>profit
Chances of this working?
>>41404481
Literally zero percent chance dude. You most likley have bad genetis and wouldn't even look good jacked. Plus most women don't even like jacked guys who take mirror selfies.
Zero fucking percent chance dude
5%, give or that 5%
Why not improve your social skills while also lifting?

Monday: back
Tuesday: chest
Wednesday: legs/shoulders

every training +-1.5 hour.

Hits muscle groups more frequently and you don't waste one of five workouts on something as stupid as tris and abs.
Fucking hell, tris and abs. You might as well spend a workout painting your nails you fucking sissy.
Who here is dealing with a caffeine dependency here?
I have a really bad addiction to caffeine, to the point of not being able to function without at least 600+mg of caffeine a day
I'm considering cutting caffeine out of my diet so that I might get my energy back. What have you guys experienced with this?
>>41404356
Google 'awake' caffeine e-book. Definitely worth the few bucks or if you wanna pirate it. Lots of good advise.
But it's definitely worth doing. I'm slowly trying to go from half an energy drink a day (red bull) to only drinking green tea. After cutting out the caffeine to a half I sleep much better and I never use caffeine as a PWO if i work out in the evening.
>>41404388
I'm down with just going cold turkey with caffeine, but idk how tired I'll be and how long it'll take my body to get over the addiction
>>41404479
At 600mg/day it will truly be absolutely hellish but it's one way of doing it. But really, caffeine withdrawal is SRS business.
If you don't have work or anything else to really perform for, then go ahead. Do update us. I wanna see that train wreck.
This is my biggest enemy.
I'm not some skinny tall stud looking for easy pussy.
I'm a skinnyfat faggot who needs to be functional on a biological level like a decent human being. Back pains, flat feet, no stamina, no endurance: they need to go, and fast.
I have tried MMA training in the past, did well for my mood but wasn't for an extended period so I wouldn't know. Don't care about glamour muscles or anything, I literally just want to get a somewhat athletic and performing body.
What's the best course of action or training regime? As far as sports go I fucking hate team sports and I basically only like fighting, since it's the only physical activity that ever got my blood pumping and awakened my competitive instinct.
Pls gibe advice
>>41404312
Sudoku
If you did well in MMA just go back to it
Maybe i will watch you in UFC in 5 years
>>41404325
Tried that but masturbating did better for my eye-hand coordination.
fuck, i think i just realized i have been putting on my plates backwards...
is this bad?
Not as bad as "deadlifting" sumo.
good job doofus, now all your gains were in reverse.
>>41404241
>roiding for 5pl8
lmao, someone post that fat girl lifting 5pl8
How do I get this mode?
Look like shit and get a bunch of disgusting tats. Finished
>>41404233
Do squats til you hit 1pl8 then never work legs again.
>>41404233
you got to not give a fuck thats how, thats seriously the impression hes giving off, and i can vibe with that, do you mang
Does muscle size help or actually hurts, in fightning? You see the skinny guys beating fucking everyone but you also see guys like Joshua who looks like a fucking tank(ye,ye maybe he roids whatever). Do this guy train this muscles to be so big to show off or is there any advantage?
>>41404149
need strong arms to ktfo someone
need strong neck to not get ktfo
>>41404178
You need strong back and core to ktfo someone
>>41404149
Muscles help if you know how to fight.
Size helps if you know how to fight.
If yoo don't know how to fight, then anyone who knows how to fight could probably beat you.
It doesn't take much power behind a punch to knock out somebody who doesn't know how to take a punch.
What's the point of training back, if you dont even see it?
>>41404084
Other people see it
>>41404084
>you dont even see it
That's why
>>41404084
The same reason you train the other muscles even though no qt 3.14 will ever mire you
440lbs
stopped eating you, and started cooking at home. hoipefully I cant start meal prepping soon.
I have trainer, three days a week for 30mins and on the off days I walk 30mins on treadmill and weight machines.

Getting big my nig
>stopped eating you
Thank god.
>>41403946
i meant out.
What's the most efficient way of dissolving protein powder in milk? I've been using a mixer-thing, but it's very inefficient.
pls halp, am noob
Never put the powder in first.
Get a blender bottle. They have a little metal wire ball thing in them. Shake it like you're jerking off for England. Works fine.
>>41403810
Cool. Any recommended bottle? Any I should stay away from?
>>41403798
Electric blender is easy mode.
If you want, keep using your mixer-cup but use half a scoop and then shake the shit out of it.
It shouldn't get all super clumpy.
Repeat this nine more times to reach the optimal 5 scoops.
Just found this beast the other day.
Why does everyone envy this man so much that they have to hate?
Hes one of the strongest bodybuilders out there and people claim his lifts made in public gyms are fake weights..like grow up. Think jay cutler would hang with someone who uses fake weight? Lol didnt think so.
We can all get like him if we stick to it brahs. This sport is supposed to bring each other up, not but them down!
>world class elite powerlifting numbers in his videos
>refuses to go to a PLing meet
>not fake weights
yea nah... he literally would break world records in a pl meet if he wasnt using fake weights
he looks like he took all the steroids
>9pl8 bench
>current ALL TIME WORLD RECORD is 335kg
lol
Are there some good cardio excercises I can do that don't involve legs?
I bike often, and weight loss is my primary goal, but this year I vow to not ride on really tired legs, so I need something to get the HR up on the off days.
>>41403511
rowing
>>41403511
I read somewhere that going in the sauna is considered cardio.
>>41403542
k
Anything else?
>microloading OHP with clips
Give me one(1) reason why this wouldn't work
>>41403384
Because you don't eat enough
of course it would work. i used to do it and there's at least one other person on /fit/ who does. i only stopped because i don't like taking up all the clips, especially when it gets busy at the gym.
>>41403384
It does work but something is off technique wise probably.
is wearing glasses to the gym autistic? should I keep doing it? I can't but think that I am >that guy with the glasses
kill yourself for realsies
atleast you aren't wearing basketball shorts
Are you saying that Frank Yang is autistic?
