How do you maintain a beard?
I've been trying to grow one since forever but it gets crazy itchy by week 2 and I shave it.

Hate this meme. Do you fools not wash your beard?
>>40141307
I just rock stubble
>>40141307
Let it grow for a few weeks and see what you have to work with. If it's patchy, doesn't connect, is a neckbeard, vel sim, then shave it.
Decide the length you want. Once you figure it out then trim your beard to that level.
If you will be sporting a beard longer than stubble I recommend shaping it. It will take a few tries to start getting it looking clean and symmetrical. Things to do in a shape:
1. Trim out a line on your cheeks.
2. Trim a line on your neck. Shave everything below it. Ideally you want beard on your face but not your neck. Don't cut it too high, or the naked underside of your mouth will hang low, and you might look fat.
3. Trim the line between your ear and sideburn on down for each side. I like to do a clean, straight line down all the way from the sideburn.
4. Clean up stray hairs - below your neckline, above your cheek lines, etc.
5. If you don't have a super long beard, make sure the hair from your mustache doesn't cover or fall too much in your lips, that looks bad.
Consider using shampoo/conditioner instead of just soap if you're past a certain length.

Barbells are for people who've maxed out the dumbbells.
>>40141073
Gas yourself
>>40141081
You're taking up a good rack doing your literal barbell bench, twink-boy. Real men have weightlifting to do. Maybe there's a weightlifting video game you might enjoy.
But who was adjustable dumbbells?
I lift twice a week, lifting isn't is a minor hobby for me. What about you /fit/?
>>40141000
*is
I lift at the gym 3 days a week, run at the gym 2-3 days a week, and do sets of chin ups/ pull ups / sit ups / push ups randomly throughout the day on days I'm not lifting.
3 days lifting 2 days cardio
How do you go from this

Dear fit, what the fuck kind of exercises can I do with these resistance bands? I need something to do when I first wake up.
No, I don't want to wrap them around my dick or do butt stuff with them.
>>40140709
Skipping?
you could wrap one end to your ankles and one end to your balls so you pull on your balls while you walk
those are great for shoulder and hamstring stretching. Actual working out nothin. Look up stretches to limber up and get blood flowin in the morning.
>that guy who does pushups at the gym
I just always did push-ups at my house so I could beat all the lanklets during the push up tests at school

Bros who are getting TRT from your doctor, help me out a bit
I recently went to the doctor and had a serum test done, and scored 261 ng/dL. Now my doctor is referring me to an endocrinologist and wants more tests done to see why my testosterone is low instead of just treating it.
I told him about all the low-T related symptoms I have like gyno, anxiety/depression, trouble concentrating, and low sex drive and he told me to see a psychiatrist.
Did you guys have to deal with crap like this before getting put on TRT? Should I just ride this out, or start searching for a new doctor?
>>40140511
Buddy if you are planning on TRT your Doc will probably put you on some 250mg or less test e cycle. It's not worth all the trouble. Just pick up some test e and run 500mg weekly for 10-15 weeks while taking arimidex (or any other AI) so you don't go gyno.
I made the same mistake going on a TRT instead of skipping the doctor's bullshit. If you don't want to get test not through legal measures, then try going to another doctor. In my case, my Cardiologist prescribed me TRT due to my high cholesterol and wasn't at all reluctant to give me my test.
>>40140598
Don't listen to this fucking retard
>"Just pick up some test e and run 500mg weekly for 10-15 weeks"
And after the 10-15 weeks, what then you fucking colossal faggot.
Your doctor is a retard OP, go see a Urologist who specializes in this stuff ASAP.
If you don't want TRT, start researching how to raise them naturally, by cutting down on the shit you eat and replacing it with healthy shit. (Soda, sugar, syrup, etc)
>>40140511
Just talk to your Aunt and have her prescribe you some. Took a week because she was busy but these gains don't lie

hi /fit/, started SS 4 months ago, never lifted before then. i was a 23 y/o 5'8 skellington dyel with a 6/10 face. and khv
last month i lost my khv to my current and first gf. she is an 8/10 by /soc/ standards. please dont think im boasting - im hoping this will inspire any of you lurkers who have a defeatist mentality and think it isnt worth the effort. earlier she just told me that im fitter than most of her skellington exes. im extremely dyel by /fit/ standards, but SS metaphorically saved my life. thanks to rippetoe and all the fitizens who kept telling me to eat more when i was stalling even though i insisted i was way over my TDEE already (i wasnt)
also rate my progress
>4 months of SS
>those lifts
bruh you did SS wrong WRONG WRONG
What website is this
>do Greyskull for 2 months
>already at intermediate levels of lifting
OP, you fucked up
Anybody know any sold routines that will primarily help a football player?

Are there any ways to increase appetite? Having a hard time bulking. I don't live in an area where I can legally get weed so that's out of the question.
>>40139781
Sitting in a sauna stimulates appetite, doctors use it to stimulate the appetite of sick people and girls with anorexia, just try not to die like Zyzz did.
>>40139818
>you will never be a doctor who cures anorexic girls by fucking them in a sauna
why
>>40139838
I'm okay with this, contrary to what the media might tell you waifish models and actresses don't usually really have anorexia, girls with legitimate anorexia have incredibly boney asses and oddly swollen torsoes so they look vaguely like starving African kids.
Hey /fit/ can you give me advice with the squat.
I have started doing back squats (115 pounds) but have been having low back pain, and as you can see here my back shifts a lot. I am thinking of switching to front squats, but they look just as horrendous. Any pointers? And obviously, Im just using the broom to practice.
