i've had to quit lifting because of recurring pnuemothoraxs (air escaping lungs into chest).
I was in and out of the hospital a few times for these. It was always painful but only one required a chest tube.
one doctor suggested i get a surgery operation to prevent more from occurring. i forgot the name of it. something about gluing the expanding part to the entire wall.
i don't understand how lungs can even work without expanding. it would probably decrease lung capacity a lot. can someone explain this to me?
if i had this done could i ever into lifting again?
sounds like it would hurt my performance.

lungs are like metaphorically glued to ribs and diaphragma. they move only when rib muscles and diaphragma contracts and relaxes
dunno about performance, thats a question you had to ask your doc.

pleurodesis?
basically you irritate the the lining to cause inflammation that welds the parietal and visceral pleura together.
not sure about performance etc.

Some days ago I believe I found a thread about the idea of lifting for God or Jesus Christ. I can't remember the name of the ideology behind it but there was a wikipedia article about it that I can't seem to find. Does anyone remember the thread or know what I'm talking about?

Daily reminder that Arnie and other top builders only took steroids in the 8 week cycle period before competition.
Daily reminder that around 0.1% of pros are on roids.
Daily reminder that if you cycle you are a pathetic piece of shit who doesn't have the willpower and you'll forever be viewed as a genetic failure.

Not true. Arnold had a bag of steroids every morning.

My parents are staunchly against me using whey because "it's not natural" ,"you don't know what's in it" etc. I'm a 19 year old skelly mode whose been lifting for a few months now but I'm struggling to meet my macros and stuff because they keep throwing out my protein. What do?

Tell them that it's the same as taking a multi vitamin and say it's saving them on food. Also start saving up op

oh its those parents who think that whey is a steroid. everyone had those.

Hide your protein if your parents are that unreasonable.

Dear /fit/,

Get drunk. Alcohol dehydrates the body very efficiently. The excess fluid is gone by the next day.
Not trolling btw. It works.

>>39539914
don't do this

>>39540131
sounds like fun imo, but i cant stop myself from drinking water non-stop the next day so it wouldnt help me

Are you talking about the start of the video where he pause squats?
That's probably his warmup considering that's baby weight for him.

No I mean his hip movements

probably just get them if you want
a guy yesterday in the next rack was squatting, maybe, 215 and was wearing shoes
his deadlift wasn't heavy either and he didn't seem to be worried about looking like a faggot
>>
If anything you need them ASAP because your flexibility will be poor.

I got oly shoes and I am dyel
I did it because I was really struggling with form and my friend said oly shoes helped him
My squat still sucks, but I am slowly progressing.

how do you build conversation with girls?
also, to keep this /fit/ related, rate my daily shakers:
-3 nuts
-spoon of peanut butter
-1 scoop of whey
-1 banana
-1 egg
-2 scoops of oats
-5-6 blueberries
-400-500 mL of milk
twice a day.
i'm a begginer (2,5 months in) and i'm worried this is too much and and i'm packing too much fat. should i cut the PB?
but back to the previous topic. how do you keep a conversation going with someone you kinda know? this girl from my school talks to me but i feel like my fuel runs out too quick and i'm left looking like a complete mute autist 2 minutes into the conversation. how do you guys do it?

My gf and I have been together for 11 years so we've run out of shit to talk about pretty much too. She still calls every day we're not together and wants to talk for 30mins-2hours. After a while of this she said I was quiet one night and I explained that with the amount we talk, I'm gonna be quiet sometimes. Now we joke about how little I talk, and she's cool with it because most of the time she just wants someone to listen. I have no clue how she finds shit to talk about still.
So my advice would be just be completely honest. Listen to her, and think about things you could talk about. But if there's really nothing, then that's cool and just tell her you don't have anything. Worked for me.

>>39539794
Ask her a lot of questions about herself. Don't be too heavy handed with compliments always hold back. Don't be afraid to take risks i.e. jokes or risqué comments. If she is interested it will work if not it won't simple as that, how you say it is of little importance as long as you're not a total tard

Its called benching the weight. You have to move your arms and the bar in order to do the exercise

Lol

The bar doesn't move up and down, it moves to the sides and makes me lose the balance :(

If I eat this and count calories will I be healthy and lose weight? Is there any way to further improve this meal plan?
Yes I read the sticky a thousand fucking times. Diet is what's killing me

Nice meme diet. However, I'd switch dinner with lunch. Chicken+veggies makes me feel full more than oats.

Why no bench and OHP on the same day?
Is OHP + flyes ok? Is Bench + side-lateral raises ok?
Why no rows + pullups on the same day?
Is pullups (or chinups or lat pulldowns) + rear delt flyes ok?
What can you do for back exercise including rows?
Is it too much arm work for a newbie that is doing compound oriented lifts?

I bench and ohp 5x5 and lateral raises on the same day. I do pullups deadlifts and t-bar/cable rows facepulls/rear delt flyes on the same day.
Who's telling you you can't do this?
>>
>>39539623
Most newbie routines usually alternates OHP/Bench on A/ days, same with Rows/pullups.
I do both on the same day, feeling great, stil la noobie too. I just do AxAxAxx with full body on the same day. Just wondering if this is a no-no
>>
>>39539623
My routine is:
Dumbbell bench
Lat pulldowns
Incline DB benchpress
(some times ab workouts here to get some rest)
Rows or rear delt flies (depends on fatigue)
Side lateral raises or OHP dependant on fatigue
I do deadlifts on monday, squats on fridays, first before the ordinairy routine.

Is it alright if I do the starting strength program using a squat/bench press machine and a dips/chinups machine and a military press machine? You see, I'm afraid of dying.

You need to stop being afraid of dying and start being afraid of not making it.
>>
>>39539607
You will find it easier, you will also miss out on core strength and support muscles.
Just start low, get the technique right. Power cages are safe as.
