My muscles feel completely destroyed after going to the gym for the first time yesterday. Whatever I do, it feel extremely sore with a bit of pain.
>wat do?
stretch and let your body repair. you might have over-done it on your workout.
>>40527026
Go work out again.
>>40527026
take a day off, you won't feel much better tomorrow but go to the gym anyway. 1 day on, 1 day off until you stop being sore, after which you can go all out
Daily reminder that this is what women want!
Money to get on camera with a stranger?
>>40526956
Is this supposed to be controversial? A woman with a perfect body wants a man with a perfect body. Color me shocked.
>>40526977
stability in general.

Okay guys so i fucked up and i need some advice.
Im am cutting at 2500 cals a day and this morning i was craving some poptarts so i binge ate the fuck out of some. I counted it up and it turns to 2000 calories of just poptarts.
Yeah i fucked up bad. I know. And i have had no protein all day. What should i do? Should i just fast the rest of the day to stay under my 2500 cut? Or should i get some protein in me at the risk of going over my 2500 limit?
Im thinking just have some scoops later today for protein and nothing else. Thoughts?
split into 6 days and remove 333 kcal each
>>40526782
Force yourself to shit it out before you properly digest it
just accept the shit day but stop buying and eating poptarts fatfuck
What would happen if I did nothing but OHP, Lateral Raises, Diddlys, and Pullups?
>asking for a friend
small arms that would look even smaller as they would be disproportionate
>>40526518
Add dips, sub pullups for chins and deads for snatch deads and you would build a solid physique
Underdeveloped chest, totally forgotten triceps. Ok legs since you work them with deadlift. If you add closed grips push ups you would be ok
Face pulls are like the magical cure to all shoulder ailments and I never even heard of them until a few months ago. I believe they should be done at least 3x a week for optimal shoulder health.
>facepulls
>not reverse ring flies
Wew
>>40526328
I do a full day of ring work and I never even considered trying that. Holy fuck thank you, anon.
>>40526328
>>40526464
Please elaborate on ring work?
Olympic rings?
I'm paranoid about this because of how much i pure bench+curl'd my first year in the gym so i just prioritize rows over bench as my 'big three' lift.
>110kg yates row motherfuckers
>gf won't stop drinking my protein
>"anon you know I love chocolate milk, and it's healthy!"
Buy flavorless protein, what are you, a child?
>>40526281
>it's another "person I'm living with won't stop ____ing my food" episode.
kill yourself
or her
Just buy unflavoured and tell her that she is going to put on weight if she keeps drinking it.
Hey fit!
Started out lifting and cutting a week ago. What sort of equipment should I get (maybe sorted by importance) that I can buy off amazon and such websites?
I'm talking about for example food scales, possible small equipment like ab rollers, maybe a tape measure and everything else.
Basically anything /fit/ related
Thanks in advance
>>40526203
your gym should have ab rollers my man.
anyway
multivitamin
fish oil
vitamin d
zinc
whey protein
>>40526203
Nice fitness gear that makes you feel comfortable with your appearance in the gym.
Good lifting shoes (Chuck Taylor All-Stars)
Scales
Food scales
Tape measure
Blender
>>40526233
Just to re-order these in terms of importance IMO:
Whey protein
Vitamin D
Fish oil
Zinc
Multivitamin
Redpill me on potatoes, /mu/.
Should I be eating them to stay high energy?
>>40525948
They're dirt cheap, good source of carbs, contain more magnesium than banana, and they taste good.
>>40525948
Would eat them every day if I wasn't so lazy.
>not implying they are hard to make, gf just doesn't like cooking them
What about milk?
More specifically, who's the one in blue?
>>40525944
> chicks
>>40525953
oh sorry i forgot this place only likes traps
anybody?
Been trying to find more efficient ways of training, and was wondering whether there is a difference between the two (contraction speed of muscle versus the power output of a muscle) or whether they're synonymous.
My own attempts at finding legit sources have come up a bit empty so far. Anyone able to provide an answer?
>>40525793
You should take a few seconds contracting the muscles, as if you could stop the weight at any point in the lift and hold it, this way you are fully in control of the weight and it is your muscles working rather than just relying on momentum to do the lifts for you.
>>40525850
Sorry, it seems I should add more detail to the question.
To be more specific, I'm trying to figure out whether the contraction-speed of the cells in the target muscle have a high to very high correlation with the peak power output of the cells.
Shameless self bump.
On the cellular level, is contraction-speed synonymous to peak power output (as with lifting more kg)?
How many years of lifting to achieve this body?
>>40525735
Like a month in Ethiopia
>>40525735
my skeleton friend has this bod, looks like shit.
how do I convince him to eat more and not bail on the gym with me?
>tfw turning 30 years old this year (11/01/1987)
>tfw this is the decade of life where muscle mass and bone density levels start to fall
time feels like it just flies by after college, it's also sobering to have witnessed Arnold in his prime slowly succumb to age
How old are yall turning this year and what is your life and fitness goals you want to reach before you hit 30? 40?
>>40525234
i'll be 31 in few months and i just did 160 kg squat for 5 reps today. started a bit more than 1 year ago.
you'll be fine OP. decline won't happen until 40 or even 50s.
>>40525234
>Arnold in his prime slowly succumb to age
The guy still looks great, better than most young guys.
>>40525234
I'll be 30 in August. I started exercising 2.5 years ago at 420+ lbs.
Weight = 275 lbs.
Bench = 300 lbs.
Squat = 455 lbs.
Dead = 515 lbs.
I'm going to lift natty until 35, then I'm going to do test like Asian in math class.
I have a trip 2 weeks out to Miami with a couple of my mates.
I am terrible at planning and it's come down to the last two weeks and I need to lose at least some weight.
I basically have zero expectation because I know about the reality of the situation but at the same time how do I maximize the weight loss these next two weeks and what is the max weight loss to expect.
5'11
235lbs
>>40525164
Just don't eat too much.
>>40525164
2 pounds
>>40525164
Use myfitnesspal, count calories of all food you eat, you can lose a couple of pounds.
