why is this a problem
>>41121498
>tfw started front squatting once a week for the last 4 weeks
It's a fun and challenging lift and it has really exposed how horribly undertrained my quads are.
>tfw your bench is less than your rows

How much cardio? I don't have ED but my boners aren't as strong as they could be.

I've only started lifting seriously during the past 2 years, and more and more I find myself being disillusioned by how unaesthetic the majority of the population is. Should I still smash anyways? wut do?

>>41120902
Smash. At worst you ignore her afterwards and move onto another chick.
>>41120902
Post your bod and her face we'll see if you could do better

The wages of democracy imposing dysgenics. Not to mention that cities act like gravitational pulls where the talent (and looks) is sucked in from surrounding municipalities.

I am actually considering going for the main kung fu dude's boddy now for this summer. Looks fit and lean as fuck.
>>41122233
I love it. Only found out about it because of iron fist sucking. Looks like that will solidify Into the Badlands as a good AMC show.

who /liftforjesus/ here?
>>41120608
I do. Seriously though.
Good post.
>>41120608
I lift for freedom from attachments. Jesus was very wise... much of his teachings have a lot in common with Gautama, but obviously the core teaching of submitting oneself to God does not. Regardless, we can still learn much from reading the bible.

Remind me again why this shit is bad for me? I'm an ex-fatty with a huge fucking appetite. Carbonated drinks fill me up artificially so I eat less than I normally would, and the sweetness/flavourings mean I don't crave any other shit.
How is this bad in any way shape or form? Calories in calories out, right? The artificial bullshit is no worse than the shit in protein powders.
>>41120578
>The artificial bullshit is no worse than the shit in protein powders
on this point you are correct
artificial sweeteners are really hard to read about because there are studies that go both ways. Some say it's harmless, some say it's liquid satan.
>>41120578
It's not. People think the artificial sweeteners will give you cancer, but those people are literally retarded and shouldn't be giving advice.
What is the most effective? What do you guys use with the best results? Would I be better off just taking beta Alanine and caffeine?

rEAL food
Beta-alanine and caffeine are probably the only acute legal stimulants I can think of that you'll actually feel.
Everything else is basically filler.
Been using Tier-1 for years. I like it. Tastes good.

please... help me
how do I fix wide hips?
will oblique work hide or exaggerate this?
how do I fix this hourglass figure and at least become fridge mode?
>>41120429
You need to add size to your upper body to balance it out. Work your chest, shoulders, and back.
>>41120429
I also have wide hips, will deadlifts and squats help or make it worse?
Oblique mass is the last thing you want. Lats and quads are what you want. And everything else. But not obliques.
If I eat when I want to, and eat the amount I want to, while only eating good-for-you foods and lifting progressively heavier weights on a good routine, wouldn't my body just equalize over time?
Like say today I want a bowl of oatmeal. I eat it and want more, I go eat more. Then I go about my day until I want to eat, and let's say I want to eat cake. I realise sugar is the devil and have a banana instead -- the lesser of two evils. Lunch time rolls around and I want eggs. I make myself an omelette with spinach and mushrooms, cooked in a bit of organic butter. I'm full until dinner and do my workout just before eating, and because I'm famished after lifting I have basically an entire plate of spinach and green veggies with a couple handfuls of rice and 3 breasts of chicken. After dinner I'm still wanting something, so I have an orange and a glass of milk. Just before bed I have another glass of milk.
NOW on an autistic macro counting sperglord diet like I'm on now, I'd be constantly avoiding doing exactly the above, which is what I would naturally do otherwise. The calories are probably like what? 2500? 3000? And macros at a distance look pretty decent too. On a fucking calculated diet I'd be limited to 2000kcals per day to 'lose fat bro', and have to stop myself from having 2 bowls of oatmeal or a banana when I crave shit or even the amount of fucking rice I have for dinner.
Surely just wising up on nutrition means I'll never be a hamplanet, right? And following a consistent lifting routine means I'll gain muscle over time, right? Is the autistic macro bullshit really so important if I just apply common sense and listen to my body?
Bump interested
>>41120394
Maybe? I mean our ancestors didn't have good diets at all, but they were quite big on exercise, it's what they for most of their days, so I guess if your level and frequency of lifting and exercise is high enough (this includes low-mid intensity cardio), you should be alright.
I'm honestly planning on doing this, I'm currently losing weight (went from 107 - 83 kg so far, goal is 70 - 65 kg), and once I reach my goal, I'll slowly ease back into a normal way of eating while cranking up my level of exercise and include lifting.
I don't have any intention of being autistically obsessed with programs and nutrition, so this topic is pretty interesting to me.
>>41121161
Oh, and of course I'll be eating pretty clean, no junk.

How do I achieve Big Lenny mode?
I used to be the runt of the group. Skinnyfat, not good with girls, no style, no substance.
Decided to lift, go to uni and improve myself in every way I can.
They were so encouraging at the beginning. I started making real progress and they just started putting me down.
Every time I try to tell them about a new PR or a goal I achieved, they belittle it and make me feel stupid for being proud about it.
When we hang out, they collectively take turns shitting on me for no reason.
My one other friend that lifts started touching me all the time and I'm worried he's gay and is hitting on me now.
I feel like my entire social circle is fucked now.
Pick not related, but post your smash roster anyway.
They're probably just jealous because their lives are still shitty and unfulfilled.
Keep up the good work mate.
>>41120156
thanks man, I'm just kinda bewildered, because we're a very close group of friends, but their reaction to me doing better has left a bitter taste in my mouth. Every time I mention something positive, it's almost as if they feel threatened or defensive that it wasn't their accomplishment.
