>Thought I was eating big
>I was weighting pasta and rice after cooking it
Will I ever make it?
Ayyyy.
>>39592663
Depends, how much did it weigh you idiot?
>>39592681
600g of pasta
dunno about rice since I weighted it with chicken
I want to try doing my main compounds twice a week to hit each body part twice. Currently doing a 4-day split, with deadlift,bench,squat and ohp spread out as in picture.
What would be the most optimal routine for doing two main compounds a day? I currently do about three additional exercises next to the main lifts, but would cut that down to two.
Is it better to do squat-deadlift, bench-ohp and repeat, or do I switch it up: squat deadlift, bench-ohp, ohp-deadlift, squat-bench?
>>39592658
I can't really offer you advice on your main question, but I don't think squatting and deadlifting is a good idea on the same day if you want to work with serious weights.
Well, the problem is if I do squat one day and deadlift the next day, there's no rest for legs. Same with ohp followed by bench.
I haven't tried this out yet, so I don't know if it's at all doable.
I would cut down on the volume a lot obviously...
>>39592658
This is the only chart you'll ever need imho.
What physical attributes do i need in order to get a girl like this?

Why the fuck is this shit allowed? Nobody fucking told me about this. I'm going to be a 5'10.5 inch manlet for life.
I got a little taller, maybe stirring up all that T 6'3 lyfe
>>39592651
you probably fucked up your posture
Same thing happened to me
>Before lifting, 5'11
>3 years after, 5'10.5
It doesn't matter I'm a manlets anyway
How to get a body like this?
I don't know what to call it but I say "Fighter type" body.
I've realised I don't like the aesthetic v-tape look and want to aim for something like this instead, I wanna look huge and powerful in clothes.
I'm 6'4, same height as the gentlemen in the picture. What should I focus on?
>>39592641
Lift weights
Or take up boxing. I box and most of the guys I train with are otter mode; they have great abs from all the core work we do and they have decent chests because we do a ton of push ups every class.
For every boxing club I've ever trained at; push ups and crunches/planks/burpees have always been a part of every class. Overeem was on gear and he lifts; just lift weights if you want to look like him Phampai.

JUST
>>39592588
That's a mire to you?
post girls mirin, I need to feel some feels.
Is that the story you tell yourself? That you don't deserve that kind of love?
You can have anything you want.
Change the story that's running threw your head.
What is a man that's admired by his woman like that like? Really think about it, give yourself 20-30 minutes of quite time with a notepad and right down his values, how he treats her, what does he do to make her feel so special.?
After you've written it down work in reverse order. How do you become that man? What steps can you take RIGHT NOW to become him? What's steps can you take a month from now? 3 month's? 6? Make your self a road map toward becoming what you want to be.
We can all make it bro, but you have to want it. Deep down you have to tell yourself the story of the man you want to be, that story needs to be intertwined with your being.
Your going to make it, you've already taken the first step, you know what you want. Now take the next step and become him.
Does creatine make you look more jacked? Or are it's effects not visibly noticeable. Thinking about getting some for the performance benefits but I also heard it's supposed to make your look more muscular, just wondering if thats legit.
>>39592547
no it does not
wtf
Can make everyhting swell slightly and give you a bigger pump, but its more water and just looks a bit puffy.
>>39592552
It causes your body to retain water in the muscle tissues so it increases the size of your muscles
I'm relatively fit compared to the general public (I can do 10 pull ups, squat 100kg, run for 5km pretty easily) but I have a large gut.
The issue is that it is very firm and I can feel my abs not far from the surface, how do I lose this gut?
Is my core too big, is my stomach explanded from eating regularly or is it simply a case of losing weight that's necessary?
>>39592510
you probably have a lot of visceral fat. lose weight.
Pics, tubby.
>>39592510
not all fat is stored right underneath your skin. a lot of it is stored around the orgrans in your abdomen. it's called visceral fat, and your problem of having a large gut is pretty common for guys. so you're just fat. lose weight and your gut will disappear.
>Can masculinity ever truly be "toxic"?
Watch "Raging Bull" for example of real, no meme "toxic masculinity".
Term has been stolen by tumblr, but there is some merit in it.
>>39592618
Calling it toxic is too much for me.

Im 188cm tall and I weight 82kg. I've been training calisthenics for some time and now I'm interested in learning planche. Can u help me with exercises to master the planche? Am i in a disadvantage because of my height?

>>39592468
Sure it's a disadvantage, but you can't change it either way.
There are tall people with impressive skills, so just progress as far as you can and don't worry about it.
>>39592468
Planche leans, pseudo planche push ups etc etc.
It took me about 9 months to get a straddle planche until I injured my wrist and couldn't rain for it anymore.
>1) Starting Strength is a mere reinvented version of much older proven routines such as The Strongest Shall Survive by coach Bill Starr, nothing more.
>2) Mark Rippetoe thinks he can teach the Power Clean with his own “jump and shrug” made-up technique, a technique that is incorrect and futile to building impressive numbers in the Power Clean.
>3) Starting Strength has become a cult and their advocates try to convince everyone that it is the only way to get strong.
>I didn’t know who Mark Rippetoe was (he is practically unheard of as a coach outside the US) nor did I know that Starting Strength was supposed to be a popular strength program. I laughed because as soon as I read the Starting Strength routine I immediately thought of coach Bill Starr and his superb The Strongest Shall Survive program. Mark Rippetoe’s program is nothing more than a reinvented version of Bill Starr’s program, it even shares the same exercise pattern for crying out loud!
>For those not aware, coach Bill Starr popularized a solid strength routine in the 70’s called The Strongest Shall Survive that was advertised as packing on bulk (muscle everywhere) and overall body strength. This routine was an eye opener for those in the field of applied strength training in sports as The Strongest Shall Survive was successfully used in American football and players got very strong and bulky on coach Starr’s routine. People packing on 40lbs of weight, most of it muscle, in short amounts of time was not unheard of because Bill Starr, having being an Olympic weightlifter himself, intelligently based his routine around the Power Clean, the Full Squat and the Strict Press. With Starting Strength, Mark Rippetoe has cheekily added a few things here, removed a few stuff there, put it a label, started the marketing engine, and off he went with his Starting Strength routine. It worked.
>>39592286
>3) Starting Strength has become a cult
>Seriously, what’s up with that. I have yet to find anyone in real life doing Starting Strength but it seems as though every online fitness forum has a troop of members fighting their own battle against society and convincing the rest of humanity that Starting Strength is the only way to go. What’s even more laughable is that these same blind people take whatever Mark Rippetoe has said as gospel and will repeat everything like parrots without consideration to questioning what they repeat ad nauseum.
>You like to go to the gym and want to build some muscle? Starting Strength, they answer.
>You are a bodybuilder and want to build some muscle in the off season? Starting Strength, they reply.
>You want to lift some weights to get in shape? Starting Strength, they scream at you.
>You want to get stronger in the Power Clean? Starting Strength and “jump and shrug, bro“, they respond.
And why should I give a fuck?
>>39592301
Because YOU are part of the problem. Part of the viral marketing machine. And you do it for free.
What is the natty limit for strength? How much, relative to bodyweight, can an unjuiced lifter expect to be able to lift for a single rep on bench press, overhead press, squat and deadlift?
>>39592271
idk man fuck off
>>39592271
BENCH: 1xBW
OHP: 0.6xBW
SQUAT: 1.25xBW
DEADLIFT 1.5xBW
>>39592298
That seems unreasonably low. Any sources?
