Anyone been doing Kris Gethin's 8 week trainer? Thoughts on the workouts or any noticeable gains you've made?
Arent those programs mostly cardio though?
>>40419212
It is a weight loss program so there is cardio 2 times a day, 7 days a week but the workouts themselves are very intense with pretty much every set going to failure. It's the first time in years I got DOMS again so there's that

LMAO THIS IS TRULY AMAZING. I WISH SOME REPUTABLE SCIENTIFIC BODY DID AND INDEPTH RESEARCH ON THE MANLET AND GYMCEL COPING MECHANISMS, THE MENTAL GYMNASTICS RESULTING FROM BLATANT DENIAL OF REALITY ARE SURELY A SIGN OF SOME FASCINATING PSYCHOLOGICAL PHENOMENON.

GENETICS
WOMEN WILL ALWAYS CHOOSE SUPERIOR GENETICS. ITS WHAT PROPELLED US AS A SPECIES. ITS SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST AT ITS FINEST. YOU MAY SPEND COUNTLESS HOURS AT THE GYM, YOU MAY SPEND HALF OF YOUR INCOME ON PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS, YOU MAY AUTISTICALLY TRY TO REPLICATE THE PATTERS OF SUCCESSFUL INDIVIDUALS - ON THE BASIC, PRIMAL LEVEL WOMEN WILL ALWAYS OPT FOR THE GENETICALLY SUPERIOR MALE. EVEN AFTER YOU'VE PUT IMMESUABLE EFFORT AND MANAGED TO GET SOME 5.2/10 TO LET YOU PAY FOR HER DINNER DEEP DOWN YOU WILL KNOW SHE'D MUCH RATHER LET CHAD FUCK HER IN THE BATHROOM AND LEAVE AFTER CUMING ON HER FACE THAN SPEND ANOTHER MINUTE WITH YOU

Mass VS Strength
Is it high volume lower weight for mass building as opposed to strength or was that broscience?
I do not want to lift super heavy, just build bigger muscles.

>Is it high volume lower weight for mass building as opposed to strength or was that broscience?
That's true. If you lift very heavy weights, you'll get big too; but what makes the most of hypertrophy is high volume. You gotta lift somewhat heavy weights to get big, tho (1/2/3/4 or near this).
Eric Helms' book has a very good beginner program, pic related. Btw, you're new to lifting and want to learn something, that's the book I'd recommend.
>>40417783
Thinking of doing the routine pic related, but 5x5 for main lifts.
Progress 5/10lbs weekly.
Arms/shoulders day added on Saturday
Any thoughts on it?
So I've been back squatting for about a year now with no issues. In the last week I've started getting weird twinges in my knees. I'll feel it like momentarily in one knee while sitting down or something, then it'll go away and I won't feel anything for a while.
Sometimes it's one knee, sometimes it's another. Sometimes above the knee, sometimes below.
Four weeks ago I started a routine that included front squats twice a week, which I hadn't done before, maybe it's related to that?
If this is something that'll develop into a knee injury I want to get ahead of it while it's still no big deal.
Anyone experience something like this?
Im a heavy guy trying to get in to running. I want to run twice a week with 3 weight lifting days. But every time i take a 15-20 minute jog i get these fucking shin splints. And then i have to wait another week to try again.
what are some tips or tricks to get rid of this curse ?
My running form is spot on(according to the expert at the running store), so thats not the issue.
>(according to the expert at the running store)

>Im a heavy guy
This is your problem, running while overweight is very strenuous on your body.
You shouldn't run when overweight as it can cause havoc on your body.
Start off taking walks or using an elliptical while reducing your calorie intake until you have lost a bit of weight before you start running.
>>40416869
as >>40416913 said running while overweight has a huge effect on your legs. Taking it easier with walking or swimming at first may be beneficial. Besides that you may want to get your feet checked to see if you're a pronator or supinator and depending on that what type of shoes you use since this can also cause issues.

Btw my gf said that if I wanted to I could have sex with the faggots (in a hetero way of course). Should I give it a go?
>>40422850
Sure, go suck a dick or two.
Daily reminder to be confident :^D
It funny because that guy will ALWAYS be seen as confident, no matter what he does.
Confident just means be tall, handsome and in decent shape.

Any of you guys listen to podcasts while training? I've just finished pic related and I'm looking for something similar.
>>40421153
The only sleeycabin podcast I've seen have been the one with Lyle, other than that I used to listen to Swaggalaggin, but that show stopped out of fucking nowhere.
I can't pay attention to what people are saying when I'm doing physical effort, but this sounds like a good idea and I'll give it a try. Playlists gets repetitive real quick.
Never seen a podcast thread here before.
Is there any way to avoid food babies? I'm a pretty thin person (just a couple pounds from being underweight) but even after eating normal sized meals it seems I always look slightly fat/ pregnant.
Are there any exercises or anything else I can do to prevent this?
>>40421056
Stop eating
>>40421093
But I need food to live. I'm already almost underweight (BMI of 19). Everything I eat is just maintenance calories.
