I'm starting BJJ and I'm worried about my gains. How do you balance your martial arts and your lifting? What kind of lifting regimen should I be doing to best help me with BJJ?
>>40743486
just lift like you normally do. be prepared to have your instructor tell you multiple times not to "muscle through it". i've been lifting for several years and went to my gf's bjj place several times and they got onto me for applying too much force and/or trying too hard when we would roll. it's not about strength, in fact you'll learn less if you rely on that. unless they offer mma classes in the same place, that might be your cup of tea if you want to apply some serious force.

I want to do bjj but I'm worried about getting STDs
>>40743509
I'm a former wrester, so it's not a completely foreign subject to me. I just feel like I should be doing higher reps now to help with conditioning, but I wasn't sure. I know you can waste a lot of energy relying on strength which is the opposite of what BJJ is trying to teach.
You guys know about that claim that building muscle helps to burn more calories?

>HIIT
increased maximal absolute mitochondrial respiration in young
(+49%) and older adults (+69%), whereas a significant increase
following CT was observed in young (+38%), but not older adults
(Figures 3B and 3D). RESISTANCE TRAINING DID NOT INCREASE MITOCHONDRIAL RESPIRATION SIGNIFICANTLY IN EITHER AGE GROUP.
Nope.
Although I suppose if you have more muscle, that means more cells are consuming nutrients, but it's almost certainly negligible.
>>40743459
>but it's almost certainly negligible
This is the part you need to prove.
pretty basic thought experiment
1. does muscle have a higher caloric maintenance than fat? (y/n)
if y muscle technically 'helps burn fat'.
>>40743933
A guy with 20 lbs more muscle doesn't burn enough more calories to make up the difference. Skinny people eat like hogs and never gain weight to begin with. The number of calories you burn just by having more muscle is negligible. It's nothing but a myth.
>>40743956
Wrong. The correct question is HOW MUCH MORE in calories are burnt per gram of muscle mass? And the answer is unlikely to be much. Does it exist? Sure. Is it a material difference? You're kidding yourself.
>"I wish I spent more of my life on 4chan instead of putting maximum effort into achieving my dreams"
Do you think anyone has ever said this?
really makes you think...
4chan makes us happy just like food makes fat people happy. But it doesn't have negative effects.
>>40743580
Your time being wasted and your brain atrophying is not a negative effect?
Can you honestly say you enjoy spending time here?

>>40743337
Used to buy these when i traveled. Not bad, tons of sugar like everything else.
What am I supposed to eat now that the police found out the companies are putting acid, removing the meat protein and replacing it with soy protein and using chemical agents to make rotten meat look normal in my country? Oh yes, and mixing it with paper too.

Does Christian Bale give hope to wide hipped cucks or is natty aesthetics just impossible?
Post wide hips and rate from ~salvageable to ~about to give birth
And this guy of course
>>40743274
none of you understand aesthetics
Bale has wide hipbones here. Those are alpha, assuming you have the obliques to go with it. He looks like shit because of narrow shoulders. You can't even see his hips. Hips are the area UNDER THE BONE, which is determined mainly by BF but also genetics.
The solution to wide hips has always been to train the fuck out of your upperbody.
y even lift?
>>40743236
>he thinks he's sleeping with any of them
>or any woman for that matter
In any case, jus lif 4 urself

Can /fit/ redpill me on posture? How can I fix this shit? My shoulders are rounded and I reckon my ass sticks out a bit. There's gotta be some sort of "bible" for correcting posture issues, I see a lot of "just fix your posture while you do everyday shit and it'll get better" but can't I do some exercises or stretches? something?
>>40743073
Just stand up straight, loser.
I constantly have to remind myself not to forward head. How do I fix this besides the constant reminder to pull my head back? I'm on my feet 90% of the day, rarely at my desk at work or home anymore.
>>40743073
is that good posture a meme? I always hate when people stand with their shoulders rolled back and chest pushed out. Always seems like they're dyels who are just trying to look big
So, I have a profoundly noob question - why does form matter if I'm not going for total aesthetics. I'm a cardio bunny, and I'm trying to find out why lifting will hurt me. I'm a small Asian girl trying to build a modicum of form - isn't lifting heavy things enough.

Would you rather have the ability to do 30 situps in a row? Or lift fucking...an atlas stone?
>You don't need squats or deadlifts to build lower body
lol at all these fat fucking losers wasting time squatting and deadlifting putting their back at risk, when you can make the same gains doing leg curls
thanks balconybro
>ITT: fit redpills
>>40742753
>putting their backs at risk with an incredibly easy movement that a child could learn
LOL enjoy your shit aesthetics. Leave the real lifting for the men
