Sup,
what are some essential books to read for a guy who lifts
I mean books that focus on training, not self improvement or philosophy or other stuff
Personally I have read or at least owned the following:
Starting Strenght; basic but a pain in the ass to read
SuperSquats
Beyond Brawn, totally autistic but very detailed
Bigger, Faster, Stronger, like a proto-5/3/1
The strongest shall survive, outdated SS with football emphasis
Training for Warriors/Warrior Cardio
Insane Training by Matt Kroc
I think the basics of training are well explained in the sticky without needing to spend money on books, but I want to expand my knowledge and read up some more
Right now I plan to buy pic related when im finished with my current books

I've been doing a set of exercises to strengthen my back every morning and core 5 days a week. I work in and office and im in agonising pain so I needed to try something to help with that.
Exercises:
Half crunch × 20
Bridge × 30sec
Side bridge × left and right 30 seconds
I recently started gym again and am currently doing the mark ripstop starting strength program.
Will these exercises screw with my gainzz or should I be fine to continue them?

Some ab work wont make you any gains to begin with
It depends on how severe your back problems are.
I would rather consult it eith specialist instead of asking on mandarin fish exchange market.

I think i read shit wrong
Yeah ab work is good as accessory movement after you are done with your lift.
Strong core - safer back

Why aren't you a cyclist, /fit?
Why have you fallen for the meme that lifting = aesthetics = alpha?
>Gliding through space propelled by the poetic synchrony of mechanical minimalism and human athleticism
>Climbing epic peaks with ease
>Gaining superior cardiovascular fitness propelling oneself hundreds of kilometers by sheer force of will
>Cycle racing is literally 5D chess, the ultimate test of physical and mental capacity
>6% bodyfat year round, despite constant cafe stops for coffee and ham and cheese croissants
>The true embodiment of enlightened social values
>A noble pursuit highly associated with the social elite and intelligentsia
>Sculpted calves get comments daily
>You'll never have to date a fat girl
>Statistically superior lifespan
>Reduced insurance premiums because you're fit as fuck
What the fuck is wrong with you autists?

Does anyone else find that cycling doesnt do much cardio wise?
I can ride faster until lactic acid builds up in my legs, but I still never get puffed out.

This.
Look up videos and practice them, or if you're still unsure get a personal trainer for some days.

5'8''
Weight: 208 lbs
Bench Press: 85 lbs
Today, a month later:
Weight: 206 lbs
Bench Press: 145lbs
Is this good progression for a month of solid work 7 days a week, doing 5x5 with as much weight as I can while still maintaining proper form?
Thanks anon

Have you ever lost control of your impulses and starting gorging on pb right in the store? I was like a bear with my hand in a beehive it was pretty embarrassing. Now I always keep my trusty whey scoop in my back pocket just incase I need a utensil.

she takes care of herself in literally every other aspect. clean, good hygiene, decent cooking skills, driving, working, well read (comparatively), and even gyms, but why can a man not get a gf that loves to squat?

what do you think about when getting that last rep in, /fit/? what motivates you to get that final push/pull?

When I lift I imagine I'm fucking a hoe and the final rep is the kill shot that sends her into heavy orgasm.
>>
>>39553812
if I don't, I'll have to do the fucking roll of shame
>>
>>39553812
I think about pic related. When I'm at that last rep I imagine him standing next to me and think about how disappointed he would be if I didn't get that final rep in. I'm not even a weeb, I just unironically look up to this guy.

If I start starving myself, will I lose my gains first, or will I lose my gains alongside my bodyfat?
>inb4 some faggot starts lecturing me about being healthy, I honestly don't give two fucking shits about it. If you have an unhealthier/more effective way to lose weight, I'll do it. It's not worth staying fat over.

Just do keto or PSMF.

you do because you made this thread. If you didnt give a fuck just starve yourself and see what happens.

You won't lose muscle until you're down to like 7% bf. You'll be weaker and softer though. Make sure to drink lots of water and I would take at least a double dose of multivitamin. Even if you do lose muscle, you can gain it all back in like a week once you start eating again, because when you lose muscle it doesn't really go away, it just sort of stays dormant and deflated or whatever
