Fuck being a lanklet, you manlets let's don't know how good you have it when it comes to athleticism.
Know this feel. APT is shit.
The strongest and most mobile lifters at my gym are 6'3" and above. You have no one to blame but yourself.
>>39675846
just keep at it
i was in the same situation a few months ago, started squatting instead of sitting whenever I'm at home
I've been shitposting while in a full slav squat for a good 30 minutes and could probably hold it for much longer, it's actually really comfortable once you get used to it

I feel so bad bros. Do I apologise to him and risk exposing myself?

That was me asshole.

What do you think about this /fit/?
>>39675538
If you're only working out M/W/F, why not just do a fullbody routine?
Pure garbage. Try starting strength
I like it! Ill also leave a tip that you may already know. Dont forget to change the weight and exercises, shock the muscle.
>sweating helps your body cool and prevents it from overheating
>deoderant prevents sweating where applied
>this means the body can no longer optimally cool itself
>so the body either overheats or keeps itself from working hard enough to need adequate sweating
>in other words, a person wearing deoderant will subconciously and consiously try to prevent himself from working out at his fullest as to prevent overheating
>conclusion: deoderant kills gains
Any counterarguments?
POO in LOO
deodorant just makes your pits not smell you retard. antiperspirant is what you're thinking of and still doesn't magically keep your body from sweating. it just keeps the pits dry
i was baited today

>Their apocrine glands, like those in humans, produce an odorless, oily, opaque secretion[10] that gains its characteristic odor upon bacterial decomposition
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocrine_sweat_gland
>Antiperspirants help to reduce the production of sweat. Aluminium salts – the active ingredient found in antiperspirants – dissolve into the moisture on the skin's surface. This forms a gel, which temporarily sits on top of the sweat gland, reducing the amount of sweat released.
30 seconds on google
>been lifting for 8 months straight 6 times a week on a typical bro split
>great gains
>love my routine
Convince me why I should be doing PPL /fit/
I'm not going to do that because you shouldn't be doing PPL as a natty and even as a roider there are better programs out there for whatever your goal is.
You could do PPLxULx though.
Full body is the best though
>>39675184
I do ULxPPLx.
It's pretty gud.
Have any of you guys used a hip circle? Would you recommend it?
useless, buy a slingshot instead faggot
>>39675181
They're shit, I've tried one but don't own one. I have a reactive slingshot and it's good for reminding you of your form and cheating out an extra rep.
>>39675181
helped me bench lmao2pl8
>be me
>really slim boy
>start lifting
>went from 68 kg to 78 in a year and a half
>realize I do it because I am insecure and I hate lifting
> Start kick boxing and after two years change to boxing
> Now I am 74 kg and can beat easely a 82 kg dude
>I am not big anymore and don't look fit under my clothes but shirtless I am really ripped and athletic
Is lifting a meme?
Pic related is similar to what I look like, less biceps than him but very similar.
>>39675159
> 68
> really slim
Before i started lifting i was 62kg and im 6'1. You were just skinny fat and likely a faggot.
>>39675159
if you're happy with that then body good on you, but not all of us want to look like weaklings
>>39675450
Bruce Lee could probably outlift you. Strength has little to do with hypertrophy on an amateur level, and that's exactly what you are.

4 sets of 10. I use 10-20lb dumbbells, depending on what I'm comfortable with
Is this okay for a beginner or am I doing it wrong?
Pretty lady for your time.
>>39675084
Shit, I also do bicep curls
where are your pulls, i only see push
>>39675121
he has bent over rows in there, but you are wright. The routine is heavily neglecting back.
Attention /fit/ a long time tripfag and friend STEAMROLAN has gone missing in brooklyn NY in the last 24 hours. we suspect hes not safe.. if any of you have come across him recently, know him through relationships formed here like me or know anything at all please post in here.
>>39675030
bumpin for my 2010-2011 tripfags
you don't have to wait 24 hours to report it to the police, right? not sure that's how it is in the US
Found him, was in my backyard stealing my gains destroyer.
god bless him.
Last night I was drunk and wanted to drink some protein cuz I was scared that I might lose precius gainz so I made a shake.but instead of puting brotein powder I put the creatine in, I put like 4 scoops of that shit cuz gotta get bBig CMOON! Am I gonna die? today I woke up feeling like shit. My trainer told me im going to lose my genital hair but thats a good thing tho. Whats the fastest way to lose the creatine in your body ?
The answer to all of your life's questions is
Kill yourself.

What are the best biceps curl one could do? ALso, should i be doing 5x5 with my curls?
>>39674602
Idk anon I like to take st least 8 dumbbells off the rack and spread the out around me then I grab a set and go til failure then move to next set. Dyels get jealous bc there aren't enough for them but Idgaf I'm fucking swole
If you're doing curls you obviously care more about aesthetics than strength, so it's pretty silly to do sets of 5. 8-12 reps is the generally accepted range for hypertrophy.
>>39674602
>What are the best biceps curl one could do?
It's up to preference. I personally like preachers
>ALso, should i be doing 5x5 with my curls?
No. Training isolation movements like that increases likelihood of injury and is relatively pointless. In general, isolation movements are best left to the 8-12 rep ranges (slightly more or less depending on goals)
Daily reminder that you can cut fat and gain muscle with eggs, steak & 8x8.
I read about this last night when someone else tried to get it memeing here. All I learned is that everyone is bullshitting everybody looking for a new program to sell....Basically you're a fucking pussy
that steak looks bretty good senpai
>>39674598
Why not go be it a shot? I'm not selling anything. Just want some discourse.
And what bf% would you put me at?
>>39674569
Looks like 17-18%.
