The vast majority of you will spend some time now in your younger years going to the gym, becoming moderately fit, looking okay (due to being young guys). Then you'll be busy with school. Then career. Then you'll find a nice girl, get married, have some kids. You'll have your career, marriage, family, mortgage, car payment, etc etc etc and all this 'gym' business will become less and less important, and rightly so. So I wouldn't worry about it too much, just enjoy what you're doing right now.

from what i remember the testerone only increase during the workout session, after you're done the test lvls drops down to your normal lvls, so in the long run it makes no difference

>>42653555
is he bald or something?

>>42653555
yes, big lifts increase testosterone - unfortunately it's a negligible, transient increase that does absolutely nothing for muscle gain or anything else

the whole "do squats and deads to grow your whole body muh test boost thing" is a myth

that fucking retard behind stronglifts, Medhi, actually wrote something to the effect of "if you want big arms, do squats and don't curl" which might be the reason why this shit is resurfacing recently despite there being nothing to support it ever

Just run with a plastic bag over your head.

set up a noose that gently strangles you while doing your exercises, works perfectly for me

well, i couldn't replace any of the barbell lifts with resistance bands so there is no real point in trying to replace. I would just try some new shit with them

i hate when i fap too much and get brainfog

Not sure if it's possible to develop it or not, probably is, but you can have exercise induced asthma

IIRC a surprising % of proffesional endurance athletes have it

I had a grade 1 rectis femoris tear that lead to a grade 2 tear from simply "squatting" my own body weight before it was completely healed. It felt like a rip and getting stabbed with a hot iron poker. Needless to say it was moderately painful. It took a long time to fully recover, but I have not had any problems since then (this type of injury has a very high re-injury rate).

Severe tears are a risk anyone and everyone who power lifts face. The human body is not designed to lift these massive amounts of weight, and through nutrition, supplements, drugs, aggressive training, etc... you can build muscle strength to the point that the muscles are stronger than the other connective tissues... not to mention the wear and tear put on your joints. There are also various connective tissue disorders that can make you more susceptible to these types of injuries.

This is just another reason why power lifting, professional body building and other "strong man" types activities are pretty fucking stupid in the grand scheme of life. There's nothing manly being laid up in a hospital bed, or dying at the ripe age of 47 because you blew out your heart. To each their own...

This is what happens when you overload what your body can handle with a squat suit, knee wraps, and a monolift. Never seen anything this retarded happen in raw.

heavy squatting not even once. I'm fine with my 350 thank you

There's generally no point in cutting as skinny fat. I know it seems counterintuitive but you have to strengthen up first, at the weight you're at you won't be able to shed off all the fat and not look like shit. Also shedding the belly fat will be nearly impossible even if do daily cardio. Gain some muscle first, it's a long journey.

She wants to go with you? She has to adapt to your habits. Tell her to be ready in 15 minutes. If not, go. She'll be pissed, but wha cares. A man acts and leads.

>>42652815
Jesus Christ, this so hard. Not to mention the fact that she's always in a pissy shitty mood before we workout. Don't listen to these assholes though, it's worth it if she's healthy and willing.

On Traditional Cardio:
>Traditional cardio refers to a steady state of intensity that is held for the duration of the session
>At its worst, excess traditional cardio "eats" lean muscle and creates a destructive pattern of slow metabolic rate and a yo-yo'ing body weight.
>Excess traditional cardio leads to muscle loss which inhibits natural hormone production. Aerobic workouts also elevate cortisol levels.
>However, traditional cardio (when done on moderation, for around 45 min per session) improves brain metabolism, grey matter and neurogenesis on the hippocampus (STUDY: Effects of aerobic exercise on brain metabolism and grey matter volume in older adults: results of the randomised controlled SMART trial)
>The best kind of cardio to avoid overtraining is brisk walking or rope jumping (if you have the skills)

>Masturbation itself does nothing, but abstaining for a week does (at day 7 your T is significantly higher, then it returns to baseline)
>Then after 3 weeks of abstaining your T gets somewhat higher
>After that, it's unknown what happens (in people with erectile dysfunction, their T gets lower after 3 months of absence)

And the last tips:
>A cold shower is good but not necessary, washing your balls with cold water is enough
>Use loose boxers
This is because, as you may know, your testicles work better at a colder than your average body temperature

>Use a metal flask instead of a plastic bottle (due to BPA and other chemicals)

yea he basically made crosslifting federation which is crossfit only with barbell movements

like weightlifting but for gdes

>>42652593
Crossfit and Crosslifting are two different things:
Crosslifting:
>proper form
>routines that actually make sense
>no meme bullshit
>basically olympic weightlifting for people that favor general fitness more
Crossfit:
>a brand owned by Reebok
>overpriced
>incompetent trainers
>encourages bad form
>bad programming
>a meme

Don't make your own routine you dingus

>>42652604
which one of these would you recommend for me?
and what's the day-by-day pacing for routines like these?

>>42652604
not op but i started stronglifts 6 weeks ago

been seeing steady progress but i have been reading online that stronglifts is shit for various reasons... should i just stick at it for a few months longer or switch to something a little more complicated that's better generally? apparently there isn't much arm work on stronglifts (although i have noticed my biceps growing considerably seeing as they started from nothing)

>>42652515
I use them as back support for crunches.

Transforms the exercise from barbell-flyes meme-tier to OHP-god tier. You get maybe twice the rom, ZERO (NADA) [صفر] back pain.

Also, I just sit one them and bob up and down in between sets. Makes me look autistic as fuck, but it's reminds me of a simpler time of swings and trampolines.
