Why lift when it's all about the chin?
>>40232692
This is what you get when your entire routine consists only of chin ups
Beaming in from the planet BLOG today is all about the French phenomenon that is ‘The Bogdanoff Brothers.’ Throughout the 70s and 80s brothers Igor and Grichka were the stars of their own TV show. Born in France to a Russian father and an Austrian aristocratic mother the brothers lived in a castle in the mountains and by the age of 14 had finished schooling, were fluent in eight languages and had moved on to an obsession with flying – at this stage helicopters and gliders. Doctorates and Masters in mathematics and science followed before their first sci-fi book took them to television. Before long the handsome boys were given their own show, Temps X, and this rolled into other shows dedicated to the popularisation of such unpopular subjects as theoretical physics and quantum gravity.
In an almost X-Filean turn the brothers’ private lives have matched the extra-terrestrial worlds their heads inhabited. Both remain single (Igor has six children, largely with a Countess, Grichka none) but their bizarrely altered appearance has led to rumours that they are undergoing some kind of anti-ageing hormone therapy or that they are suffering from a form of gigantism. This is in part as the duo have vehemently denied ever having plastic surgery. A furore over plagiarism and the legitimacy of their published scientific treatises has kept them in the public eye as their increasingly extreme faces lead many to wonder if their greatest work is actually themselves, and the creation of two Pod People, born in some kind of seed capsule, taking over the bodies of two humans.
Anyone have a quick lift down on these guys?
8 pounds in 6 years, holy shit, how much longer does he have ?

He's going to eat himself to death within a decade, hopefully quicker.
I actually liked him when I first found his channel. Had never heard of him. Then I saw the dates on his vids and realized he does absolutely nothing to lose weight. I mean shit if youre that fat You could eat like 2000 a day and shed pounds.

My arms give out long before my abs do when I plank. How can I fix this?
get stronger arms
>>40232392
/thread
Slightly off topic, but im convinced the easiest way to make planks last longer is by leaning back on your toes and putting weight slightly on your feet, try it, isn't noticeable either, i used to do it all the time when i played rugby
How do I meet a girl that lifts?
It's not worth it.
>>40232290
Social media has really ruined everyone. Most girls are whores aren't they?
>>40232290
You meet a normal girl and then take her to the gym.
people you thought were big before you started lifting
i feel like that picture has a lot of shooping potential
im really only here to show off my template.

QUESTIONS THAT DON'T DESERVE THEIR OWN THREAD
I'll start:
Should I squat as low as possible or should I switch to positive phase after my hips are parallel to the floor? I want to have a nice-looking ass and I feel my glutes and quads when doind it the second way but anyone's saying it doesn't count if it's not as low as possible. Wtf?
Trap bar deadlift vs squat (?)
>>40229207
It "counts" as long as you break parallel. What are you training for?
>>40229219
Different movements. If you want to grow your legs, then squat. Trap bar deads do not have nearly as much knee flexion as a squat.

I've been a strength coach for over 10 years and I'd say that's pretty accurate for most people. if you have bad genetics you will look a bit or much worse, if you have good genetics you will look a bit better.
Weird how he looks so unaesthetic. looking at the vid his strength isnt bad at all. ive seen people look great at 3pl8 deads. he looks bad at 3.5pl8.
Alright /fit I need some fucking help.
My girlfriend used to be DTF like crazy. Like she would wake me up in the middle of the night to take care of business. She got on Nuva Ring because she wanted me to be able to fuck without a condom on.
Anyway so after she got on Nuva Ring, it absolutely destroyed her sex drive. Like I'm convinced that the reason it's 99% effective is because it is a total fucking cock block.
So she stopped taking it about a month ago so she would be DTF again and since then, she's gained like 10lbs.
We started boxing 4 days per week and I've lost like 15lbs in the last 2 months from it but she can't lose anything. At first I thought it was just that she was changing body composition and was losing fat while gaining muscle but there's no way that would happen for 2 months right? Like I don't think that could be contributed to noob gains could it? She eats less than 1500cal per day on top of that.
I'm starting to think that the Nuva Ring is to blame but most people observe weight gain when starting it, not when getting off of it. Any advice? Anyone else's girl gone through this?
Shes eating more than you think she is.
>>40227788
nah man, I'm making her meals every day. She doesn't eat much generally either and she's never had a problem losing weight until she got off of Nuva Ring. I just looked into it and a bunch of women have this problem apparently. I wonder if this is going to result in a huge class action suit. A ton of women feel like their lives are ruined because of this fucking ring from hell lol.
>>40227828
At most it'll cause water retention. Typically it wont cause you to gain weight by itself, but it does cause increases appetite.
It doesn't break the law of thermodynamics.
Hey /fit/.... how the fuck do you find motivation to go to the gym?! It feels like a fucking chore to me (and because of that I skip it a lot). I don't fucking know, but when I get home tired from school, it feels like a bother to go to the gym. also motivation thread

*sniff sniff sniff*
Delightful, darling, that treat you've been brewing me all day smells just about done
>>40226922
We all go to the gym because we like it. If you don't like it don't go. If you need to lose weight just eat less.
>>40226922
*sniffs* mmmhh fill me up with that sweet aroma

ITT: Faggots in denial
why do women use the smith machine like this to leg press? is there an actual advantage aside from being able to show off more?
psh, what a showoff.
>>40223430
My guess is people do it to keep their backs flat on the ground. Doesn't look safe/conducive to good pressing.

What is gym etiquette for giving somebody unsolicited advice when you think they are about to wreck themselves?
i'm a novice myself but a couple times now I've seen people that clearly have no clue wtf they are doing but didn't want to be 'that guy' so I just ignored
>>40222294
If youre a novice you probably dont know what youre talking about and should leave them alone
I guess a good rule of thumb would be if they are lifting 0.5x what you are and are literally about to kill themselves
>>40222294
Don't be that DYEL trying to dish out advice. You have good intentions but unless your jacked people will just keep doing what they are doing.
>>40222294
>i'm a novice myself
