Is there any way to get taller? I'm 5'9 and it doesn't really bother me since no one cares but being into bodybuilding I obviously want to improve myself any way I can. Literally half an inch would make me feel like I accomplished something even if it makes no difference visually.
Any bullshit stretches or something out there?

look up limb extension surgery. It's painful, exercise recovery takes even longer but it will get you an inch.
Honestly as long as you're above 5'7 no one gives a fuck.

I had to do all those power lifts at a tiny weight for a long time. Just power through they are very important.

Hey /fit/. Just came home from the doctor who told me to stop lifting because of my scoliosis.
What are some good alternatives for people with fucked up backs?

Hey everyone. I've gone to medical boards all across the internet and everyone gives me a completely different answer, many I've tried out but either don't work or have completely blown up in my face. I really don't know where else to go, which is why I'm on 4chan of all fucking places. This may be a long read.
Back in March 2016 I was diagnosed with something called Ureaplasma Urealyticum. It's a mostly harmless bacteria that causes mild STIs. I am a male and it has given me burning urine and clear discharge. The only serious complications in can have are infertility and PID in women. Around July 2016 it cleared up, and I haven't had sex since nor any symptoms of it. I just got into a relationship a month ago that is going very well, and my symptoms started up again. The only sexual contact we've had is me eating her out, so I'm not worried about her contracting it.
You're probably thinking "just take antibiotics idiot" but I actually can't. There are 4 antibiotics used to combat this; Erythromycin, Doxycycline, Moxifloxacin, and Levofloxacin. I've been on two rounds of Doxycycline and it was the worst experience of my life because of mental side effects. I went into a long depression and had constant panic attacks because it heightened my anxiety tenfold. Erythromycin did the same. The last two left to try are levofloxacin and moxifloxacin, and both of their side effects involve "extreme anxiety and depression" and these effects last long after the pill is taken.
I obviously don't want to infect my new girlfriend, and I wouldn't dare have any intercourse with her, including oral, until its cleared up. But the relationship is new, and I'm scared to tell her that I have this lest she leave me. I also don't want her to see me going batshit crazy like the last time I did when taking antibiotics. I really just want to be good to her. What do I do? And if there is anyone who is experienced with STD treatment or Ureaplasma, what should I take?

I know this isn't about about getting in shape, but it is about staying sexually and mentally fit. I'm sorry but I am so desperate for help I don't know what to do.
>>
>>39945734
See a doctor or a few to get multiple opinions. Sounds like your best shot is to take the antibiotics and finish them and see it through. If it fucks you up mentally, you'll just have to struggle through, the alternative is dealing with this shit long term.

Sup fit fatty here trying to lose weight with a retarded question.

What to do if your parents are gains goblins?
>Won't let me sleep enough to recover normally(they go to sleep at like 11 pm and are up by 6 being loud AF, so even if I sleep at the same time as them it's not enough)
>Keep nagging me about getting a job and moving out and doing chores which further lowers my testosterone via cortisol
>Won't buy good food so I can't bulk nor cut properly
>Can't get gf because of their bullshit

You can't absorb hormones via an oral route unless they've been methylated.
They just get destroyed by your stomach acid/enzymes. Otherwise everyone would drink testosterone instead of injecting it.
Fucking cuck.

I am really curious about something. How is it that some people like Soulja Boy are very underweight but, how do I put this, have no excess fat or flab, while other people it's common to be really skinny but still skinnyfat?
In his case he has like no muscle, so is skinnyfat if you're already turboweight just loose skin?

Because he has no fat on his body and no muscle, so he looks like he has no fat on his body and no muscle.

i always wondered if it was possible to apply some resistance to kegels. imagine how kickass that would be... inserting plastic tubes in your ass and doing kegels, everyday you switch the plastic tube for one with a tougher material, once you have enough practice, you don't masturbate or have sex for a year, then for the next 30 days you edge as much as you can everyday, then the last day, you get an expensive hooker, and in a very horny fashion, as soon as you insert your dick in her walls, you automatically ejaculate a laser beam of semen with the force of 50 thousand supernovas in the span of 3 seconds, you would end up ruining her slit if not killing her in the process.

What does coffee do for you from a fitness perspective? Assuming you drink it black.

Caffeine slightly reduces your perception of effort, though personally I've never noticed a real difference.
Coffee contains various antioxidants but I drink green tea for health and coffee for caffeine.
>>
>>39944785
Coffee contains compounds that stimulate epinepherine and norepinepherine release, which both act on adipose tissue to increase liberation of triglycerides (which are converted to free fatty acids for use in cellular respiration, mainly by muscle tissue). Drinking black coffee while fasting accelerates body fat loss.
>>
Coffee is a mixed bag. Just finished off a massive cup of strong joe before my crossfit workout. It definitely allows you to life more, for longer, which is why caffeine is the main ingredient in most pre-workouts.
The problem I have is that it decreases my appetite, meaning it becomes harder to eat enough calories to gain weight.
Still I can't stop drinking the stuff.

I want to purchase this thing.
If I put it on a PVC carpet, will the vibrations from the bicycle disturb my downstairs neighbors?
I intend to place the bicycle near a corner where the wood floor is more rigid to minimize noise and vibration.
Anyone can share their insight
