no.

Say what you want, geared lifting is cooler than raw.

>>39768499
Only if they can diddle half a ton.

And sorry if this doesnt belong in /fit but since he was the reason for me starting mma and getting fit..

>>39768399
We all have things we need to say in order to come to grips with the reality we face. I think nothing that you have said is degenerate or indicative of such, and would be willing to say that it indicates a level of inner strength that you made it out of the depths that you did, his help or no.

Truly, the man sounds like a person wise beyond his years.

I think it was gutsy of you to post such a personal thing here on 4chan. However, the anonymity it provides may have made it the beat of any.
I am deeply sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace

Sorry for your loss OP

I'm not even watching it but yes, it is bullshit

Just get an implant my man. The sooner you come to terms with it, the better. This shit is like 5 thousand dollars and it's premade so an incompetent doctor can't fuck your shit up (like a bad nosejob could). I've seen results and it's totally worth it.

In a few decades no one will care about our "dude accept yourself and stay true to who you are" shit anymore, so just make yourself pretty by any means, feel attractive and be happy.

>>39768150
No but like he says the window of operation is around the 10 year mark. Once you stop growing there's very little you can do.

>I have no idea what the claim is, but it's obviously bullshit
Retard.

Wolffs law. Bone remodeling is real. That's why kids get braces with rubber bands.

Two things:
>It's a bro split.
The general consensus is that training each muscle group twice a week is the best way to achieve hypertrophy. Depending on the muscle group even more is possible.
I'd recommend completely switching routines to something like a push/pull/legs(PPL) routine, an upper/lower split or something like Wendler 5/3/1 which is what I do.
>Way to many accessories
You don't need that many.
Do your compounds first, then do a couple of accessories.
This is what my upper body days look like for instance with Wendler 5/3/1 Boring But Big
>Primary movement, heavy bench or heavy OHP
>Secondary movement, light bench or light OHP
>At least one pulling movement, some variation of rows or pull ups. I usually do both rows and pull ups though.
>Any sort of accessory, couple sets of incline bench, curls, triceps stuff etc.

Trained for size with 3x frequency, will I explode?

>>39769158
3 lines up optimally with muscle protein synthesis, but you have to be careful with recovery

Did winter break already start for middle schools?

Soon /fit/'s three days of grace were over, and a steady trickle of rotten filth began to seep out of the dirty black rubbish bag in which the rest of 4chan's dismembered corpse was slowly decomposing. At the time, the original dwellers of /fit/ (the founding fathers, if you would) were little concerned, as finally they had found kindred spirits in the barren Internet waste with who they could exchange ideas and play light-hearted, good-natured trolls on, to everyones mutual amusement and approval. This insidious filth first took the form of fat, worthless bastards asking the same fucking question again and again: "HAY /FIT/ HOW DOEZ I LOSE WEIGHTZ!!?". In order to spend as little time as possible on these wastes of space who certainly would be too lazy to follow through with more effective advice, the original inhabitants of the board began using the simple, throw-away tip of "eat oats and do squats". For fat fucks this was good, simple advice. While oats are not an especially great food source, they're a fairly good source of fiber and other nutrients, and in general make a worthwhile addition to the diet of your average American twinkie-eating fucktard. Squats are an extremely efficient strength building exercise and strengthening the legs has secondary cardio-vascular benefits, as the quadriceps assist the heart in pumping blood through the body and are more often than not ignored in the routines of many young men.

>>39767926
Unfortunately, the new migrants began taking this advice far too seriously. Instead of a starting point for dietary changes, oats became an absolute cornerstone, an indispensable and unyielding Rock of Ages on which to base all other constructions, with their actual nutritional value becoming completely over-estimated and exaggerated. Squats became the be-all and end-all of any fitness routine. With rapacious rapidity 'Eat oats and do squats' became OATZ! SQUATZ!, repeated ad nauseum like Seig Heil! in Swedish gaybars, by people with even less fitness knowledge than /b/ has good parenting skills. The end had begun. As of this moment it still hasn't finished, which indicates how fucking useless /fit/ actually is. Honestly you cunts finish what you started already.

pushups on your knees fatty

>>39767565
Push up position planks.

>>39767575
This. If that doesn't work then wall push ups. If that doesn't work, then go bench the bar and do tricep extensions. If that doesn't work, then punch out, you're a physically defective product

Save those old clothes. You WILL gain it back.

>>39766379
In muscle?

Not sure if that's possible without lots of roids, anon.

>>39766375
Same anon. Feels good. Im hoping for some visa gift cards for xmas to get some new threads.
I bought a bunch of 36s and they were starting to get tight. Now they drop off even with a belt.

>>39766102
It forces your body to move in an unnatural motion. Almost no exercises should be done in a perfectly straight line.

>>39766102
>why do you guys seem to hate the smith machine?

most guys on /fit/ get their opinions and hivemind from broscience, dom mazzetti, etc...
it's fine for a lot of different exercises. not squats though

>>39766162
also you can push towards the front or back and the bar will go up because its on rails, complete opposite of regular barbell movements where you have to push up and also balance so it actually doesnt go forward or back, smith machine is only useful for getting a pump and calf raises

>2cm off from european manlet cutoff height

>>39765802
real world chart

5'10' and below kill yourself
5'11-6'1 pretty aesthetic
6'2" perfection
>6'2" is disgusting lanklet status

>>39766634
Here's what I think the real world chart is (for the US)

6'7" and above is not great. Being too tall doesn't seem to be talked about as much as being too short so I don't know which is considered worse but at this point, I think you're probably in a situation similar to that of most "manlets". However, if you can somehow pull it off....holy shit, that'd be awesome.
6'4"-6'6" Getting a bit too tall but it can be pulled off if you have been working out enough...and if you can pull it off, you'll look amazing.
5'11"-6'3" Ideal. 6'2" is probably the best IMO.
5'8"-5'10" Average height but easier gains. At this size, I don't think most people consider your height to be a negative attribute.
5'5"-5'7" At this point, many people would consider the person short.
5'4" and below is pretty bad... but height isn't everything and it isn't the end of the world. Work with what you have. Don't let the manlet threads discourage you. You are at a disadvantage. That's true. You can still live a great life if you play your cards right though.

>>39765572
I got short overarms and long orearms so i do dips isntead of bench. I dont see any difference in gains.

If you want a good/big chest then bench press isnt the solution anyways. You WILL have to do some form of isolation exercise for it.

do dips+dumbbell bench, its the best option, also consider doing floor press, it will build explosive strength like no other and overloads the triceps far better than any full ROM press does, safe to do too

you might as well not bench press my man

>>39765584
>long orearms
long underarms*

Just said hi to wilks :)

How was Ed Coan so good ? He has the body of a cereal box, no real thigh/glute thickness, and certainly no long legs ...

nobody takes our problems seriously, either.
im surprised chads and normies havent brigaded this thread yet saying that this is a myth, despite never having been a manlet themselfs.
