>tfw you deadlifted for the very first time
never felt more alive.
>tfw I remember when this reaction image was first posted and the guy is taking a dick in his butt
>>39726485
now wait till you hit 4pl8 for the first time, best lifting feel I've ever had
Kill yourself if you can't deadlift at least 330lbs.
>>39726540
>le kill yourself unless you lift my 1rm
330lbs is still baby weight.
Used to be fat as fuck loser/10, started lifting+cutting hard, got jacked, strong/10, tinder profile shallow as fuck. Magically easy to get laid, half the girls are taken but wont admit.
Basically, once you realised how shallow and vapid 99% of attractive women are and how easily they will cheat can you still believe in love? Are there really any/many good ones out there that don't look like monsters.
Stop believing in fairytales.

Woman only love themselves. You hear stories in the past of men who will do anything for the woman they love, literally start wars for them. You hear guys say they love her so much and how they can not live without her, that's how much guys can love someone else You will never hear the same from woman. That's cause woman don't love others, they love being loved. They love the feeling of being treated like a princess and having a man put them before himself. They become sluts cause they want to think that chad loves them, even if it is only till he spluges after 5 min. They want to be desired, they love that feeling.they cheat cause they feel the love you give to them isn't enough, and they think they can find more love in the bed of another.
They are shallow, and only use men to make themselves feel better. A woman can never love you like you love her. You will give her everything. she will take it all and you give you nothing in return besides the honor of maybe sticking it in her once in a while if she feels like you have earned it. Woman are the biggest meme humans created. Don't fall for it. Break the cycle. Go gay, and love someone who will actually love you back.
where were you when el gordo here just curled over 320lbs!

What are some (at least somewhat) natural ways to boost testosterone/block estrogen?
Considering most modern men have been robbed of their manhood by xenoestrogens, phytoestrogens, parabens, and a host of other chemicals surrounding us, I want to see what it was like to have normal gains. I don't think steroids are the answer just yet, but if the store bought shit doesn't work I may consider pharmaceutical estrogen blockers.
Pic related, a product I was considering with boron, grape seed, maca, and tribulus terrestris in it. Do any of those actually work or is it broscience?
I used testojack for a little while
made me a little hornier and made me start producing tons of cum
like if I didn't fap twice a day it would start leaking out on its own
>>39726297
I'm taking a multivitamin with tribulus in it right now and similarly my boxers smell like cum all the time, like people around me can smell it. I don't think it's leaking out though. It's like my actual dick area is releasing it through the skin.
>>39726333
My sides
>Get /fit
>Become obsessed about my looks
>Don't want to date anyone more attractive than me
>Prefer plain looking and average women over hot stacies and qt's now because I like being the beautiful one
Am I just a single mentally ill anon or is this a common mentality among bodybuilders?
You're just insecure.
>>39726289
You're as insecure as me
At the very least now that you're aware of your insecurity you can balls to the wall with it and not give a fuck. It seems no matter how much you improve yourself you'll always have one fatal flaw so why not embrace this one and stop giving a fuck? Follow the path of Narcissus himself.

Looks like an incline press. Less risk of a concussion with weights
I was doing them before I lifted so ended up having a 1pl8 ohp with a 1pl8 bench
>>39726222
>/fit/ doing any form of lifting let alone calisthenics

Itz a home gym bro
I touched hands with a girl at the gym today by accident. We both tried to toss a paper towel into a trash can at the same time and our hands collided. Then we both apologized at the same time. I didn't look her in the face when I said sorry so I don't know if she was disgusted or amused or indifferent or what. I couldn't pick up on her tone because we spoke at the same time.
I've never really got into lifting but wanna start lifting i have whey protein and know how to do simple lifts (bench, squat, deadlift, etc.) but need to know specifically what to lift each day of the week and what do eat and whatnot. thanks
>>39726204
Read the sticky.
Throw the whey protein out, or save it until the next year. You don't need it now.

then,
do Starting Strength program. you can find it online and many free fitness apps have a free SS program for you to follow and record your progress. OneSet is the app I use and they have a couple good programs on their, but for a beginner SS is the best.
secondly, you don't know how to do simple lifts. you think you do, but you have no fucking clue how to do these lifts with proper form. I would recommend buying an e-copy of Starting Strength, or watching form videos from /fit/ approved youtubers (Mark Rippetoe, Alan Thrall, etc.). While these movements are simple, the form is not, especially on the deadlift, and improper form WILL lead to injuries sooner or later.
Which is better for athletic performance, high bar or low bar?
high bar
>>39726193
all around id say front squats > high bar back squat > low bar for athletic performance
however a lot goes into the idea of athletic performance. Glutes/hamstrings are the major muscle groups used for sprinting for example- so if you're training for a speed sport (soccer, sprinting, etc) low bar uses the hamstrings and glutes more than the other squat variations.
really you shouldnt just stick to a single type of squat forever and always, they have different advantages and purposes
Highbar and lowbar have such a negligible difference in actual muscles used it doesn't matter. Front makes it significantly harder to actually move a major load. You should train each variation however, as they all have their strengths and weaknesses. Not necessarily in the same week, but you should alter and rotate and add them in and take them out over time depending on your goals and what your weaknesses are.
