Are you happy with your life anon?
>>39557263
No,I'm suicidal.
I lift to feel less depressed about myself but it just doesn't help,I don't know what to do anymore...
>>39557282
Maybe lift a lil bit more
No, I sincerely want to die. CPAP tubing came in the mail yesterday, helium tank (legit one, not diluted shit) should be here next week.
Sup /fit/, long story shor:t I heard that I'm no longer allowed to do any movements that make you do the Valsalva maneuver, because it highers my risk factor for retinal detachment (there's already a benign tumor chilling there).
Could you guys suggest exercises that can still build a decent physique without having to valsalva? I was thinking a calesthenics routine perhaps with some leg press.
>>39557044
What?
What the fuck is valsalva?
>>39557044

eh?

I will be here for ~1 hour or so.
am getting on to my 2nd month of not smoking (cigarettes that is.) and have quit already a couple months ago for 1,5 year.
I know for real ima quit forever now.
If you have any questions I'm here to answer them for fellow anons who wanna give up on this filthy ass fucking habit. Also here to give advice if required.
>>39557026
I'm on my 2nd week of no cancer sticks.
I have random spouts of depression and cravings but I just chew on something until I forget. Wish I never started.
>>39557049
Keep it going bro.
The cravings will decrease or dissapear after 3 weeks, you're almost there.
And I also wished I never started it.
But that choice is in the past, the present is present!! I believe in you.
OK, chewing gum, I can do that. Any other tricks?
Is it simply will power at the end of the day?
Has anyone tried those Rich Piana 5% Frozen meals?
no but i might try like one a day
thanks rich
They look decent honestly and people say they taste good. Looks worth it if you have the $$
>>39557018
I hear it's actually tasty, but looking at the price tag you could buy a decent amount of real food instead of making Rich richer
Has anyone ever actually noticed a difference between when they were or werent taking a multivitamin? I've been taking pic related for about 2 months now and I feel like it hasn't done anything.
>>39557011
same here with Vitamin D, Magnesium and Zink.. its a meme i guess
who told you you were supposed to "feel" the effects of a multi? a multi is something you take because you hope it will prevent an illness or something down the road, possibly in decades from now. are there any actual benefits? well, nobody really knows and it's almost impossible to study, so use your own judgement
>>39557033
vitamin D is definetly not a meme
Do foodservice workers secretly resent you when you ask for something with no bread/bun? I hate to be annoying but I don't need bread
>>39557000
everyone needs bread you shit.
>>39557017
I just want the meat, I don't need the extra carbs and calories
>>39557017
I don't because eating gluten ruins my day
>>39557000
I wouldn't know cause I'm not a fatass
I know they're isn't a concrete scientific consensus on rep schemes and hypertrophy other than "volume is good for muscle growth," but I want your advice anyway. I want to take a break from my heavy 5x5 and do a couple months of lighter weight/ high reps for hypertrophy, but I don't want my total volume to plummet from the deload. My question is: is there any reason why 3x8 would be better than 5x10? I want to do 5x10 because 3x8 would be one less total rep and much less weight (=less volume) compared to 5x5, but I don't know whether 5x10 would be "too much." Natty lifter.
Pic unrelated.
Do 20-10-10-15
Shoulders superset frontal and back/lateral and traps
Arms superset biceps and triceps
Chest superset inclined and declined
Back superset lats and back
>>39556961
There is no such thing as "too much volume". Start out with 3x8 on your compounds and 3x10 on your assistance and then ramp it up to 5x8 and 5x10 when you get more comfortable with the workload. The biggest problem with 5x5 routines is that they don't condition you to handle more work which will drive your gains.
>>39557021
That's what was making me wonder. If 3x8 uses lighter weight and one fewer rep than 5x5, how is 3x8 more work? That makes no sense to me.
Stop taking steroids and calling yourself physically fit, you ridiculous faggot.
As someone who massively advocates steroids and steroid use, I would agree that most steroid users aren't really in it for physical fitness.
Now of course, steroids can cause huge performance gains (why do you think they're illegal in competition sports) but most guys who use gear just want to look bigger/more aesthetic. They couldn't give a fuck about sprinting 100m.
Roiders utterly BTFO.
Yeah yesterday I saw some dude with retard ugly face and he looked like he was obviously on steroids and it didnt make it any better, it made his face worse. He had huge purple acne marks all over his chest and shoulders

You will lose weight faster if you eat 800 cals of raw veggies and fruit than you would eating 800 cals from mcdonalds or subway or anything bread

DOMS and just general muscle failure limits me to 3x a week

> he squats and deadlifts on the same day!
>he bikes instead of using the superior rowing machine
>>39556682
Fine when you are a beginner lifting babyweights.
Less so when you start doing weight that is actually taxing.
>he deadlifts
