Does anyone else feel lower back pain doing sit ups? I've read that it might be improper form but i tried it all, i can't do more than 20. Are there any good replacements?
>>40467526
your spinal erectors are weak. start doing back extensions
Stop doing sit ups in the first place. They're a waste of time.
You won't get a big chest doing 100 pushups a day. You wont get a strong core doing 100 sit ups either.
But to answer your question, yes. I had that problem too, when I first started. It was because I was really fat.
Stop doing sit-ups or crunches
They hurt your back because they aren't good for your back
Replace with planks, pikes, and other isometrics that don't flex the spine
Please help /fit/

Poor fag here. I would like to have some weights at home but i don't want to pay for them. So i am looking for some smart replacements. I would like to find a replacement for these small weights for shadow boxing. I traied with half liter soda bottles and filled them with water. They were too long. I didn't mind that they were thick. Just that they were too long. Any ideas? I would also like to have some other replacements for heavier weights for pumping muscles. Any ideas about that?

I also use a big empty jar like this for hand strength. I hold it by the opening with my fingertips for 10 minutes at a time. But that is more of a martial arts thing.
>>40467392
Pull ups
Press ups
Bodyweight shit.
Or buy weights. You can't make an omelette without eggs no matter how much you try to get around it.

What do /fit/? He says he has homework and studying to do, but then he'll play video games.
>>40466811
Tell him you are worried for your future because he doesn't take his health seriously. The best way is to make it about something serious rather than just you wanting to fuck a better looking person (though in the non-cucked world, that is a serious issue but thats not the point here)
Even intelligent fat people have an amazing ability to ignore the future problems that being overweight will cause.
Also call him a fat fuck and leave him.
>>40466811
Not worth it, ditch his sorry ass.

What about these.
Hi fit, first time posting but lurked for a while.
Recently (last few weeks) I have found my sex drive has completely evaporated but it was ok before.
I work our 3-4 days a week, get about 8 hours sleep (but racked up a pretty big sleep deficet a few months ago I'm still recovering from), don't eat much sugar, get more than 5 portions of fruit and veg a day, eat decent amount of fat, supplement vit d zinc and magnesium.
Despite all this I have has no fantasys, morning glory or interest in sex the last few weeks. Today I felt a dull tingling in my balls too....
Why has my sex drive gone? It was ok before.
I occasionally take phenibut if that has an impact
How is your diet?
If you are cutting, your body may tone down the sex drive. Its part of survival instinct basically.
If not, you may not be getting enough of certain things. The main two are fat, and zinc.
If none of these are an issue, then consider getting blood tests for hormones or any other deficiencies.
Also stress of course is a big killer of libido.
Low test, go see a doctor. Are you on gear? If so, that can happen by not doing a pct
>>40466795
My diet is pretty good. Not religious about itbut get decent source of protein with every meal, lots of veg eggs and penut butter so fat levels should be ok.
Take 25mg of zinc a day and not on a cut.
Good morning /fit/!
Every day we are all one day closer to making it. May you all lift well today.
Respect to a brother
>>40466553
Thanks anon bout have a great workout
>>40466615
My car is covered in tree crap and bird poop because every morning I go to the gym I have to park under a tree.
I have been going for 4 weeks straight and don't want to clean it off because I feel like it's a badge reminding me to keep going without missing a workout.
What is the /fit/ opinion on body hair? Chest/stomach as well as back. Should I get rid of it or does it add any benefits?
thick chest hair is manly as fuck
if it's patchy or looks spidery and shitty just get rid of it
>>40466541
The ONLY acceptable back hair for guys is the following:
Leg Hair is fine
Chest hair is fine
Ass hair is fine unless you are a fag
Pubic hair should be trimmed every few weeks or shaved every 6-8 weeks. Trimming is a pain in the ass and less safe. Use a Fusion 5 blade razor to shave all the pubic, ball, and gooch hair while taking a bath. It looks weird for 3-5 days while it starts to grow back hair, but looks great for a month and a half after that.
Arm hair is fine
Hair on hands is fine but anything above the middle of each finger should be plucked out because those hairs usually look goofy as there are only 2 or 3 of them.
Hair on the shoulder, back of neck, upper arm by the shoulder, and back should all be shaven off. They all look awful. Use a razor to take care of the shoulder and upper arm and buy the Deluxe Man Groomer for your back and any other place you can't reach.

How about stomach
>been stretching religiously everything related to squatting daily to fix my buttwink, for a whole fucking year

stretching is a useless meme
good form is entirely genetic and depends on your proportions which you cannot change

Ppl of /fit/ I need to increase the size of my delts what are the best excersizes for mass gain in this area
not OP but i need some posterior deltoid work
front raises
lateral raises
rear raises
low weight high rep
>>40466433
oh i meant to say op, ohp is my favorite shoulder exercise
How can i replace squats and deadlifts when i've been genetically cucked with lumbar degenerative disease?
>>40466383
Get a 150 lb weight vest with good support and do squats for volume work. Most vest can increase using 3 lb bars.
>>40466383
Hip thrusts are an amazing and fantastically underrated exercise for the posterior chain
Read Andrew Lock's articles on BreakingMuscle.com
https://breakingmuscle.com/coaches/andrew-lock
Look into Russian Kettlebell swings for posterior chain strengthening. Find an experienced RKC trainer at dragondoor.com to get started.
Public service announcement that if you've stalled or plateaued in strength and miss the feeling of noob gains hop on creatine, this shit is amazing, added 25lbs to all of my lifts so far using the same reps.
>>40466277
PLACEBO
Cite a study showing creatine improving maximum hoists. Pretty sure you're experiencing placebo.
>>40466291
Even if that's true its been an extremely strong placebo. Went from failing a 230lb bench a month ago to easily doing a 245lbs bench a few days back
