>>39701370
just get plastic surgery or gtfo if you center your life around getting validation from other people you should kill yourself
>>39701370
Because its good for your body and your mind you faggot

>mfw used to be fat as fuck
>not as fat anymore, lost 25lbs
>apparently there was a handsome face hidden under there
So lift for the chance that you're secretly hot?

I've been drinking 1-2 cups coffee for the last 2 weeks,and I am curious what is the safe dosage,I dont want to get addicted to that shit,how can I prevent this ?
Are there any addicted bros ? how did you get addicted ?
shameless bump.
>>39701170
I am limiting myself to one cup per day.
But the only sage dose is zero.
The more you drink, the harder it will be to achieve the same effect, this happens even with the lowest possible dosage.
I am trying to make the jump to tea without coffeen, but i just can't get motivated to do anything without coffee.

Had a really bad phase recently while on a cut, had 100mg of caffeine in pill form as soon as I woke up,
then after gym popped another 50mg, then drank a good 3-4 diet cokes a day, was bad times, decided to just cold turkey it as I've had this issue before and it's a shitty 2-3 days but once it's done it's done.
How do I cut and maintain OHP gains?
It seems impossible.

pretty much everything in modern day africa is imported from china. these dudes are most likely on fairly high doses of cheap chinese roids
Does your calorie intake impact how fast you recover from an injury?
I've been at a 500 cal deficit for 2 months but just twisted and fucked my ankle.
Will I heal faster if I up my cals to maint/surp ?

Hey /fit/. I basically have a friend who is convinced that all he needs to pack on muscle is his set up of adjustable DBs, bench, pull-up/dip bars. He says he'll never need to use a barbell. I know weight is weight but what's the limit with his kind of set up? Otter mode?
I want him to see the light. But then again I'm wondering, is it possible to 'make it'/become aesthetic without ever using barbells?
>>39700871
There is no limit.
My gym has 2 sets of dbs with olympic collars. Nobody has ever managed to pick up a db set to 330lbs and there are a few monsters there, who rep out 500lbs on the bench, with 1RMs over 600.
1. becoming aesthetic as a natty is really hard even with proper equipment
2. the main drivers of progress for natty lifters are the barbell exercises. they are the exercises you can improve little by little for years
3. the assistance exercises rely on the big (barbell) compound exercises for progress. done on their own the progress stalls after a month or two.
4. past the novice stage it's pretty difficult to make further progress, and for a natty lifter you must rely on careful programming of the main compounds.

sounds like a great gym
A reverse qtddtot, because let's not just make reposts

>Creatine monohydrate dissolves much better in coffee with a little milk.
I mean it, stir it before you take each sip and you won't have to gag when all that powder at the bottom slides down your throat
>>39700756
>Creatine with caffeine
There've been two studies showing small loss of muscle contraction, why would you recommend combining them?
>Put your thumbs over the bar when doing pull ups for significantly more lat activation.
>Lean back with feet forward (body should make something like a 30 degree angle) for even more lat activation during pull ups.
>Narrower grip when high bar squatting gives less balance but more mobility and translates into better lifts
>>39701039
>two studies
Okay so where are they
>why would you recommend
Because it dissolves better
Plus there's such a thing as decaf
>>39700756
The 6-7 rep range does absolutely nothing
1-3 for power
3-5 for strength
6-7 for wasting time
8-15 for hypertrophy
15+ for endurance
Let's say I go to the gym and finish my workout.
It's my day off work and I have no life, so what else can I do at the end of my workout?
get really, really flexible, learn to do the splits or something. It will probably improve your lifts

Okay fit, I have enlisted in the army with the OCS option. My recruiter has told me I need to score in the 80% of the PT standards to make it as an officer. I have until March 16th to do so.
These are the 3 categories and what I need to achieve
Sit-ups in 2min - 68
Push-ups in 2 min - 67
2 mile run - 14:30
Currently I can barely run 2 miles in 18 minutes. Can do 25 push ups and only 25 sit ups.
How do I get to this level before the date?
I need some advice bros.
Recruiter told me to do regular push-ups then wide push ups then diamond to exhaustion for 3 sets every other day.
Sit-ups 3 sets to exhaustion every day.
Run sprints or 30/60's 30 second sprint 60 second jog to exhaustion every other day.
2 mile run every other day alternating between the sprint days.
Does this seem good?
>>39700523
The standards for situps are crap .Work on your push-ups because they hand those out like candy.
Go run at the park. Pretty simple really. Your 2 mile time is what most amateur 5k runners make
>>39700586
How the hell do I shave 3 1/2 minutes off my time though?
8 laps on a track is 2 miles
This means I'd need to shave around 27 seconds a lap.
What do?
Reminder that a thicker neck can possibly raise you a point in appearance, why aren't you training your neck /fit/?
Reminder that a thicker neck can possibly lower you a point in appearance, why are you training your neck /fit/?
desu you just look weird if you put on serious mass without a thick neck.
Neck is basically the biggest deciding factor on a mans aesthetics.
Reminder that building up mass in the neck will make you snore like fuck (which is bad for your heart)
I did Bench Press yesterday and my shoulder hurts a lot when I move my arm to do anything, it pains right where the arm and the shoulder connect, inside.
Did I fuck up for good?
Yeah you fucked up. Take a couple of days rest, hombre.
Huh I did this with bench yesterday too
Rest it as long as it needs and go back a bit lighter, if you fuck your rotator cuff you're gonna hate yourself for months
