why is it some people can lift small numbers but yet make it look impressive vs that guy whos ego lifting?
today i saw someone deadlift 2pl8 n when i was about to leave there was someone else doing 4pl8 yet it didnt seem right
is form really underrated? what is its not form?
or am I going crazy?

This is how I see it with the major lifts.
Deadlifting while bouncing the weight off the floor. Doesn't count. It's called a deadlift because you're lifting a dead weight. It hits the ground and you reset. You're also not supposed to drop the fucking bar, you're supposed to lower it the same way to lifted it. Under your control at all times. It shouldn't be sending shockwaves through the room.
Benching without a pause at the chest position. Once again, you're not doing it right, so it doesn't count.
And the biggest sin of them all. Non full range of motion squats. So many people don't even hit parallel and that's the BARE MINIMUM. You're doing yourself a disservice by not squatting ATG and if you're not AT LEAST hitting parallel, it doesn't count.

never saw any pros squatting ATG before a jump, not even in basketball, you clearly don't need to go lower than parallel, period

Jeez someones full of shit today. There's different variations of doing workouts, if the form isn't cuasing injury and still produces results why talk shit, it's pathetic. Not everyone is a cookie cutter and do different ways, sometimes i deadlift with pause then other sets i will bounce it off the ground a little yet i still get big gains from it.
Benching i see some people do it really fast because they want to work on intensity, others i see do really slow.
Regarding to squats, some people have knee problems and cannot go parralel so they try working the best they can.
You're just a cookie cutter sheep, judging instead of focusing on yourself.
If I only eat the lasagna part of a deep dish pizza with a spoon will it probably be low carb? I'm going to an establishment that makes it like this pic but don't want to eat the crust. Thank you for helping me out I am very careful about what I eat because I maintain a slender yet masculine figure.

Good for you OP. I don't think about this enough when I go out. Wish I knew the answer.

I can't delete this post but if a moderator sees this then please remove it. Please.
This is sad but I'm laughing
so hi :)
i've been focused hard on legs and basically nothing else, but recently decided to follow some online workout guide and it keeps saying stuff like "these exercises are for EVERYONE! no need to worry ladies, because getting strong won't make you turn into a gross looking man-freak!"
but what does that mean for me? i'm on HRT and have very low (lower than for average woman my age) testosterone and slightly above average estrogen levels. will the upperbody stuff make me man out, or help to keep me lean and hot? first thing they recommend after some bodyweight stuff is getting a pullup bar and i'm wary of spending money on something like that if it's going to turn me into a thick-armed freak :/
help lol
so i found
http://www.trans-health.com/2003/weight-training-for-mtfs/
but it doesn't give any definites. obviously it will be harder for me to put on mass than a cis male, but who knows how that compares to a cis female :/
should i just try it and see what happens? but then the money for the bar thing blah. decisions are hard
terrified of looking like lady in pic
Your parents are disappointed in who you are and the world is disgusted at you. Kill yourself now.
You are a walking embodiment of degeneracy and should sort your shit out or kill yourself.
Remember to stay hydrated, /fit/ :)

oshit you literally reminded me my jug is right next to me, thanks anon :^)
>>40590310
daily reminder that water is a potent oxidizer and kills you faster.
remember to take anti-oxidants and only drink as much water as you need (about 60 oz or less than half your pic).
How many litres is that?
Who /thicc/ here?
im gettin there

Routine, diet?
Since our bodies can only use 30 grams of protein an hour is it pointless to eat huge protein filled meals since it will just be wasted?
>>40590002
Where'd you hear that?
>>40590002
>our bodies can only use 30 grams of protein an hour
Explain how people that eat only once or twice a day can still be big.
>>40590002
Just because you can only utilize protein at a given rate doesn't mean the rest of it is wasted.
Digestive slowing and circulation is a thing.
hi friends!
how does everyone here log their workouts? i read somewhere that people use spreadsheets. can someone post a screenshot of their phone as like an example of how this works? maybe i'm dumb but i'm just not seeing how to do that lol.
or maybe you do something different? let's talk about logging our workouts! xD
>>40589959
Do they not have notebooks where you live?
>>40590005
i carry enough shit to the gym. if i already have my phone, why would i want to bring a notebook too? :/
i'm just looking for some ideas on how to better track my progress. maybe i'll just keep using my notes app? but i can see it getting pretty massive and hard to search around for stuff lol. oh well...
> am fat
Should I cut weight by have a low caloric intake and no carbs or just dive into working out?
If the first, should I just jump down to 1500 right away?
Pic related to my problems.
>>40589818
how fat are you
how tall are you (don't lie)
start by fucking eating less. and cutting the terrible shit out of your diet. start the easy way and just count calories. when you can do that, then start cherry picking things OUT of your normal diet.
Depends on how much you want.
One day I just woke up and just didn't want to be fat anymore.
That was it, it was all it took for me to stop being a lardass.
>>40589855
I'm 278 and I'm 6'1.
The reason why I do it is because I'm tired of shit of my parents leading me down the wrong path. My entire family except for my brother is liberal, and whenever I say something mildly conservative they scream at me. It wasn't always like this though. I used to believe everything they said. They told me I was great at acting and should become an actor so I let them convince me to go into college for Theater Studies. But everything since then has been hell. No GF. No friends. All liberal art students are assholes. They all think they're so superior even though they're all fat, ugly losers.
I made a promise to myself that I would not be like them. I've been lifting for months now and I've gained a lot of muscle mass. My parents make fun of me, saying I'm a meathead now but I can tell they're nervous. They keep telling me to go on a dating website instead of going to the gym. I can tell they're trying to stump my growth though. Well I'm not stopping now, or ever. I won't be a loser like them. I'll surpass them in every area. I'll get at least a 7/10 qt gf, join the military, and get a nice reliable paying job. This is why I lift. I won't rest until they drown in their own jealous tears.
>>40589781
You're thread is shit
you're a loser who studies liberal arts yet blames it on his family despite being in the information age and a quick google search showing what degrees actually pay.
you're also a cuckservative and you have the maturity of a 15 year old.
look in the mirror before you call others losers
>>40589781
I hope you make it OP
>>40589781
You are as every bit an abject loser as those you imagine yourself superior to.
Is this more or less what I should be going for to impress young adult women?

You might not get in as good shape as him, but try to base your training upon him and see how you go.
This has been forced for almost 2 years now. Maybe 3. It will have maybe 30 posts total.
Why OP? It's not funny. It's not new. It's not even clever. I just don't get it
Are you the same one posting it every day? You literally mentally retarded and find it funny?
>inb4 "I don't know what you mean, I'm serious"
pretty much yeah
How many protons does it take to build muscle?
About 5. Some days closer to 7
Atleast 50 grams of protein a day
