what the fuck? I can't seem to NOT fuck up my lower back, no matter what I do, no matter how good my form is (told so by multiple people at the gym and uploaded videos online), no matter how much I lower the weight etc.
squats, deads and rows fuck my up my back and I can't lift properly
need to replace squats with fucking leg press, haven't done deads in a month now
JUST
have a bump op
>>40430328
I have the same problem op. Do a half hour of yoga after gym or just whenever you can. Calm stretching stuff. If you put the time in, it really does help. Pay attention to your posture during the day, bad sitting/standing habits can put a lot of extra stress on your lower back. Also, mix up heavy weight days with lower weight more reps days.
>>40430328
listen here you dumb faggot
if your form is good (and you're actually sure that it's good) but this keeps happening, your lower back was not meant to handle the rigors of squatting and deadlifting
faggots here are going to meme you into maiming yourself, if you repeatedly get hurt doing something don't fucking do it, it's just that simple
your powerlifting aspirations are over, but you can still develop a nice physique without squats and deadlifts, you will just have to make exercise substitutions
I started Couch to 5k on thursday. Every night since then I've been exhausted and ready to sleep 12 hours after waking up, despite doing nothing else active but the running.
Is this normal when starting aerobics training? Or am I just depressed?
Sounds like you're just a fat piece of shit.
It's normal and your body will adjust but you might need to eat more and healthier
>>40429963
Why are cooling towers so aesthetic?
>6'0
>101kg
Am I fat?
>>40429869
Any manlet that weighs as much as that is fat
>>40429869
Nah, you're just healthy.
Don't let society judge you by your weight, OP.
You must be happy just the way you are, bee yourself :^)
Also this pic is from right to left.
Im currently doing 20 minutes of jumping jacks and squats routine (20 jh, 10 sec rest, 10 squat, 10 sec rest)
Will that help me lose weigh quick? Im also cutting every soda and junk food from diet.
i like will best tbqh
>>40429834
all those options are shit.
>>40429834
Why would you ever not pick will?
If you don't sleep you nearly double the amount of time you're living.
>>40429857
agreed what sperg made this shit I wouldn't pick any of them
What do you guys think about kratom?
>>40429672
Bad for testosterone, bad for gains just like every other opioid.
i ordered some yesterday, haven't tried it yet but curious how itll go
Tried it once and got a nice relaxing body high
Looks like it's easy as hell to get addicted to like any other drug that helps cope with life
are there any sports that actually favor people with disproportionally long legs?
most strength sports seem to favor short legs, e.g. weightlifting, gymnastics
of course this is not an excuse to not be the best you can be regardless of limb length, but is it ever advantageous to have a shorter torso and longer legs?
Sprinting.
>>40429646
>strength sports
>>40429646
Good for taekwondo I guess
>son, why do you have multiple folders of shirtless men saved on the computer? is there something you want to tell me?

How do you guys handle going out to eat? Do you just accept the burgers and fries? Do you neurotically pick at certain parts of it? How do I make it work?
I do intermittent fasting, so when I go out, I'm already in the 8 hour feeding window and can eat whatever.
I was lucky enough to develop a fear of eating out from a very young age to an overly protective who was OCD cleanliness obsessed mother who assured me that I'd get violently ill eating at the vast majority of places.
I'm 30, I've never eaten out in my life and I have no plans to. Anytime I'm obliged I always get out of it or just say I have bad allergies and can't eat anything. I wont even drink water from a restaurant.
>>40429239
BTW: My gf is a gym-rat like me, so she's cool with it, plus we're in Australia, we don't really have a "eating out" culture here, like in America.
I've had normie-gf's in the past and many of them found "too weird" that I wouldn't eat out. Yes, women would literally use that as an excuse as to why the relationship can't work. It's good though, having an autistic issue like this weeds out a lot of shitty women who will drop at the hint of any behavior that isn't 100% perfectly normal.
>be new to lifting
>go to the gym first thing in the morning due to college and work schedule
>it's always empty
>no spotter
>today was different
>go lift at 2ish
>arms almost give out in bench press
>old gent who was resting noticed and helped before i dropped it on myself
I'm really nervous about this happening again when i'm alone. Most of my routine gives me more control if I have failure like this, but the presses don't. My gym has a smith machine, but i don't know if it would affect my workout negatively.
nice meme
>>40429124
It's a nice machine big enough to hang all the towels
Get big or die trying, never use the smith machine since it taks out the most important thing when lifting, the fear of dying
i can't fucking gain weight bros. i just wanna be a big lad... FUCK
>>40428890
yes you can it's just hard for some people
i mean you can stop at any time and admit that you're not gonna get bigger though
in the same boat sort of, just trying to eat literally any time I'm not stuffed, gaining 0.5-1lbs a week. It's not no progress but it sure is slow af
>>40428890
I've been trying to eat big. When I slay really hard at the gym I just feel like I'm about to have a heart attack though.
>tfw panic attacks on my last set today
Hey /fit/ red pill me on sips, should i be drinking them on a cut with exercise?
They're zero calories so you can drink as much as you want, if it's the caffeine you're after coffee is cheaper and preworkout gives a better rush.
>>40428733
Black coffee gives me aids and i may have a slight addiction to fizzy drinks, its why i drink sparkling water, so i guess its time to start buying sips

" There is controversy as to the safety of artificial sweeteners consumed over a long period of time. Some studies have linked artificial sweeteners to cancer and other diseases.
If you are consuming artificial sweetened food as a means to reduce calories and lose weight, please consider switching to a less sweet state of mind. Getting your palate used to less sweetened foods over the course of several months will save you the hassle of deciding between extra calories and risk of cancer. "

Hey /fit/, struggling with erectile dysfunction. Anyone have some advice? Here's where I am at:
>be 26
>lift on a good MWF schedule
>jog a bit in between so testosterone is always high
>Eat fairly balanced, rice/chicken/veggies are the mainstay
>Tried with multiple partners over the past few years, very attracted to all. Same thing almost every time
>I have found each partner quite attractive, fap to fantasies of them etc
>Time of day doesn't seem to be a factor
>If I don't fap daily, I cum fuckin' quick when we get to banging, or else it falls apart
>If I do fap exactly once daily, I can stay rock hard for about 20 mins and then it falls apart
>As a rule I don't fap more than once a day
>Not really into porn
>Don't smoke/drink/coffee
>Sleep pretty well, 7-9 hours daily
I feel like I've tried everything. What do, /fit/?
>>40428342
Lol sucks man
>>40428362
I don't really have an issue getting the gals, I just can't seal the deal once we are between the sheets.
Not the same, but I get bored of girls. After I fuck them like 5-10 times I just can't get it up anymore so I dump them to save my embarrassment. Sucks because some of them were really good but whenever I'm with a new girl I get diamond dick
>>40428203
doesnt he have cancer again?
>>40428240
yea,
he can't get it through his thick fucking skull his horrible diet probably is the reason he keeps getting cancer
You would think after the 3rd time he would finally get it
>>40428255
i don't think it works like that, it's just bad luck
im not sure where to put this, so im putting it here in the fitness section since it has to do with your vocal cords being in/out of shape.
