Bumper plates are lighter than iron right? I mean iron weighs more than rubber and they definitely feel lighter.
>>40480632
You are retarded
Yes, unless you leave your iron plates in a damp basement. Iron in a damp basement will slowly have weight leached.
>>40480632
this should be good.

>lower back physically cannot bend from this position

The concept that "everyone can do x routine if their form is correct" is a meme invented by people whose life revolves around barbells to sell you their yt infos. Squats and deadlifts are a meme. I can isolate any given form cue and objectively prove it doesn't solve whatever. I literally sit around in my home gym doing this stuff all day. You're wrong, a shill and a liar. Some people's body proportions dictate that they should never pull extremely heavy weight off the ground in front of them or squat with a shitload of weight on their back. Stop giving bad advice for a buck. Stop parroting these pathetic shills. The best routine isn't the one that has to constantly insist you "fix your form" no it's the one that comes naturally to you.

How do you make yourself workout if you're feeling shitty /fit/? I really hate myself for what I did today.
>>40480099
Something that helped me out a lot recently was asking myself better questions.
One of the best questions for me was: What would make me happier right now?
I ask myself this question constantly throughout the day, and it leads me to small solutions that add up over time.
Try it. Also, nice dubs.
>>40480243
But what if the answer isn't going to the gym?
Preworkout used to help, though now I got used to it so I don't bother going
Not like doing half of what I usually do has any point
>decide to wear shoes today while benching
>able to lift more weight, and use leg drive with ease
why aren't you wearing shoes when benching anon?
>>40479516
Who the fuck doesn't wear shoes to the gym? Have you been bringing sandals this whole time or something?
>>40479610
barefoot
>>40479516
is this a meme? I always lift barefoot am I missing out?
I was always too afraid to go to the gym but today I changed my opinion on that. Why should I care about others? I wanna get /fit/, why should I be held down by other people just because I'm shy? Fuck it.
L-Let's see how long this sort of motivation lasts.
As long as you get a few sessions in before it fades, you will never be worried about it again.
Seriously nobody cares about you.
Also nobody in the gym cares about you either.
just remember no one cares
also no one cares about you not being afraid anymore.
>>40479491
Try and go during a time of day when the gym is not very busy

Hey guys, I'm willing to create some statistics about our average /fit/izen .
In order to do so, I would be verry happy if you guys could answer the next questions:
>height
>weight
>main lifts strenght (use plates for units if possible)
>virgin (y/n)
>single (y/n)
>where are you from
I'll start:
>height
175cm
>weight
73kg
>main lifts strenght (use plates for units if possible)
1/2/2.7/3.5
>virgin (y/n)
n
>single (y/n)
y
>where are you from
Spain
Also, pic is not related, but look at those chineses mirring him. Really wish I could get to a point where a whole crowd of people is looking at me not because I dropped a weight but because how strong I am.

>"Just change your entire diet, go to the gym and lift properly with lots of cardio, re-evaluate your entire life philosophy, read everything by Tolstoy and Dostoevsky by tomorrow, get multiple new interesting hobbies, become outgoing"
So then how do you explain all the Chads who get sex? Do they do all those things?
>>40478849
They don't need to they're Chads not fat autists.
All you really need is a healthy social circle to get girls but /r/redpill and /fit/ wont ever admit that because they are rejects who know they wont ever make friends
Chad plays sports. That's fitness and an interesting hobby knocked off in one stroke.
Is he a hero in your eyes?
>>40478756
>lifts weights
>hunts enough to feed whole village
>gets angry when the father of the woman who he wanted to marry traded his kid for freedom
>attacks the evil monster that kidnapped the girl
>is attractive
the only reason belle didn't like Gaston because some forced plot
IRL Gaston would have been the hero of the story since the evil monster was a jerk and was made to be as ugly on the outside as he was on the inside.
>>40478756
>Massive biceps
>DYEL triceps
>>40478879
Holy fuck you are right. Gaston would have pumped and dumped that bitch easy lmao.
Why is disney so wrong?
So I posted my deadlift form like a week ago, and it was the worst thing anyone's ever seen. Is this any better or am I still on my way to Snap City?
>>40478683
Ride your shins
look straight, not up
use your glutes
Find someone to coach you on form. Your deadlift is too squat-like, you need to learn how to hinge your hips.
>>40478697
according to rippetoe the bar should be riding your legs the whole time, so i think that means your shins should be closer to perpendicular to the ground (not sure tho, i'm pretty bad with deadlifts too)
Psa: even if you make it you won't make it
>>40478665
True, CNS fatigue and dieting hard does ruin your sex drive
Stupidest insinuation of all time
>>40478665
>Then the researchers contacted running, cycling and triathlon training groups, university athletic departments, and publications targeted at endurance athletes and asked them to alert members and readers to the questionnaires, which were available online.
>Almost 1,100 physically active adult men completed all of the questions. Most were experienced athletes who had participated for years in training and competitions.
Above is a quote from the article. This is about cardio/endurance training. I don't think people on this board typically do very long high-intensity cardio sessions to prepare for marathons or triathlons.
This has nothing to do with lifting weights a couple times a week.
I am sick /fit/ and I've been feeling like shit all day

Up or down?
Whats the difference anons?
>>40478558
Up- if you think they are above/better than you
Down-if they are equal or below you
>>40479182
wrong, so wrong.
up is if you want to say hi to the person after the nod, friendly, you nod up if youre happy to chat for 30 seconds
down is acknowledging eachother but knowing both are in a rush and cant be bothered talking
>>40479211
Fuck I always nodded upwards even if I was in a hurry
