Stop listening to Rippetoe and Wendler.
>>40679000
Literally the best blog about lifting and just being a badass.
>>40679089
So he's a gay porn star?
Also,
>Rippetoe
Agreed. Once you understand progressive overload, you dont need any more advice
>Wendler
He actually understands assistance exercises and conditioning, so I am going to keep listening.
>>40679949
He did gay porn.
What can I do about this?
Thinking of going to the gym 3-4 days a week however, it is kind of tough to hold yourself to that..
Any other busy motherfucekers out there?
>Office job got me like kys
Yeah you dumb faggot I work at least 10 hours a day doing fucking manual labor in the military and I manage to still find the two hours required for my lifting program.
>>40678626
I work a 10 hr a day office job and still hit the gym 90 min a day.
>>40678738
Fuck, so prioritize fitness goals over anything else
A few days ago after squatting I felt a pretty bad pain in my lower back. It has been going on for 3 days now, getting less and less though.
Whenever I bend forward or press my fingers in between my vertebrae there is pain. If I need to pick something up from the ground I feel/look like an old man like in pic related.
Herniated disc?
Should I see a doc?
Is this bad on the long term?
I will probably refrain from squatting and deadlifting for a while I guess, and focus on stretching my tight hamstrings because I think that was the cause of me fucking up my back.
Any experiences/advice is hugely appreciated.

Which is better?
>>40678441
Dude the text is the wrong way round.
> Because we all know, If there are two long standing,
> competing standards, one is always clearly better.
>>40678441
Pull ups obviously. I started out doing chin ups so I could build up the strength to do pull ups.
Are weighted dips better than bench?
>>40678359
I hope so. I never bench anymore, I only do weighted dips and OHP.
i still can't seem to nail the form. keep the chest up and all that, but i still feel tension in my shoulder doing them.
tips for dips?
>>40678359
i can dip with 85% of my bw added for 10 reps and my bench is still shit
How do they maintain their physique while eating complete shit?
>>40678083
Roids, DNP, Clen, Tren, Mast, Anvar etc
calories in calories out my man
also arbys isn't too bad. a chicken cordon bleu is 400 cal and 41 protons
>>40678083
They eat well, and it's not like they look the best. Guys like Tony Huge look much better at the same level of dedication.
>My husband, Grant*, has a six-pack, a chest that would make Channing Tatum jealous, and the type of biceps where you can see a muscle outline through his sweater. He's hot and he's ripped—the type of guy who everyone assumes is a trainer when he's just working out on his own at the gym. His body is his temple, but I am not a happy worshiper.
>We had our daughter in 2012, and Grant continued to hit the gym hard, even signing up for various competitions. And that was when things got tough. He was having more fun than ever, while I felt resentful of how often he was gone. I knew working out was important to him, but treating it as necessaryseemed borderline selfish. He also began tweaking his diet, turning Paleo and spending nights researching diet and fitness hacks. It was as though I was literally witnessing my husband transforming into a different person—as the weight fell away, so did aspects of his personality I used to love. He could never just chill on the couch anymore; he always had to be doing something.
>Worse, I had a hard time losing the last 10 pounds of baby-weight. I knew Grant wouldn't cheat on me, but I couldn't help wondering whether he compared me to the incredibly fit women at his CrossFit Box (what the CrossFit gym is called). I also felt like the more time he spent working on his body, the less he seemed to care about other aspects of his life, such as the fact he was still working at his uncle's firm when he could have polished his résumé and seen what else was out there.
>I hate that Grant has an entire social life that doesn't include me, and that he's part of a whole fitness movement that's leaving me behind.
Are women the worst?

>Are women the worst?
There's always mentally ill cross dressers, but other than that, pretty much, yeah.
Grant's out slaying pussy while his wife is too lazy to get off the couch
>>40677981
tl;dr my husband has become a better person and feels more fullfilled
Yeah they are the worst
Lats, brah.
So how real is https://www.t-nation.com/training/13064-pull-ups-in-5-months
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnBylPLfVYI
Doing 10000 pullups in 200days and eating over maintenance with 2 days rest per week. Is this a solid plan to get barndoor back?
I need explanations if it will work, why or why not? Why aren't the lats overtraining?
I also plan to do progressive overload once a week.
>>40677941
Is it retarded to do this many?
>>40678384
Absolutely. Some guy did that kind of challenge, Google it. It does not give that much benefits and will fuck with the rest of your training
>>40678407
Fucking asshole omar isuf wanting all the gains for himself.
Someone who is short, ugly, and a multi millionaire or someone who is tall, handsome, and works at McDonald's?
I always wonder if unattractive guys like Jeff Bezos or Kevin Spacey actually get laid more often than the guy who works at a bar or coffee shop who looks like he's a male model on the side
>>40677919
Bumping this thread
depends what you want
for sheer happiness, i'd have to go with the male model. People treat you better, you make friends easy, sex whenever you want, people want to be close to you, get hired easily, its like life on easy mode
Although being rich has its perks, i'd say the biggest is mostly stability. Regardless, just because you're rich doesn't mean going to a party will instantly get you all the attention, people may not even know you are wealthy. If i had to choose I'd personally go with attractiveness.
What is "rich", beyond 200k a year? Hiring hookers to party with? Having enough to afford a luxurious home, giving your children all the opportunites they need, and beginning to create wealth for your grandchildren is all I would really want from wealth
>>40678319
Wow, a dedicated response in 4chan. Who would have thought.
Is this achievable natty?
I'd say so yeah, nothing about him screams roids save for his age I guess
Not with that level of hardness, no, but someone with good genetics could probably achieve something close enough that normies wouldn't really be able to tell the difference.
>>40677889
If you're genetically gifted the needed upper body areas then yeah
Why does members of the Negroid race have such good genetics for sports?
It is just one of many superiorities that the Negroids enjoy over us
You'd be good at sports too if your ancestors had to run from lions their whole lives.
>>40677842
Most powerlifters are white. Why is this?
I'm 20 is it too late to become properly flexible?
I've heard the flexibility you gain wont be true flexibility ,but rather the nerves tolerating the pain of stretching and also the muscles becoming weaker to the forces of a stretch.
At least that what Ive heard, I'm hoping its bs.
I've been doing a lot of body weight, and I feel inspired to use my body to its full range of motion.

I dunno 28 here and couldn't put my feet completely flat in a squat position until a year ago due to tight calves. all good now though
>>40677316
I dont know about that but your connective tissue is almost inert in adulthood and has very little capacity to heal or grow.
Tbh the cut off for real development is probably pre-pubertal.
>gapped teeth
>6"1
>acne and acne scars
>can't hold basic conversations
>no hobbies
Can lifting make up for this?
All those are fixable
>>40677222
how do you fix not being 6'3?
>>40677222
No they aren't unless you make 7 figures a year.
>tfw getting more gay attention
Wew why? Meanwhile girls are just as disinterested as ever
Girls ignore you if they think you're out of their league.
Good that gays are hitting on you it means your aesthetics are on point girls are just pretending to be disinterested try chatting them up and watch them light up with smiles and laughter
>>40677122
due to the lack of normalization of monogamous homosexual relationships in the west until very recently, gay people are naturally more slutty and sexually open in social environments
as ive lost weight, i've noticed more attention from the gays than women, with out me reciprocating in the slightest
not related, also a blogpost, but i fucking wish girls were more willing to ask guys out, anxiety cockblocks me everytiem. 'nah bro you're just imagining it, she isn't into you'.
im more confident than ever but god damn its still hard to figure out where the friendzone begins and whether im in it or not.
fuck it. also don't worry OP the longer you spend on /fit/ the happier you will be to recieve the attention of people who take care of themselves and recognise you as someone who does too, no homo though.
