I'm following the sticky, and one of the beginner programs on liamrosen.com is a modified mark rippertoe program for beginners.
It mentions doing a standing military press.
I'm wondering if it's the same as overhead press, and if this video with Mark Rippertoe is relevant
https://youtu.be/CnBmiBqp-AI
Yup, they're the same. And that's a good video for learning it.
Is it common for my lower back to hurt a little when doing this? Or am I bending too far?
>>39486665
Probably means you're hyperextending your lower back. Look at a side video of yourself OHP'ing and if your back is super arched, that's why your back is hurting. The remedy is to squeeze your abs as hard as you possibly can.
how to become more vascular?
Does drinking a gallon a water a day really work?
Achieve lower body fat
>be lean

>takeway
probably halfway rotted, fondled around by some sandnigger and smothered with shitloads of butter and margarine.
Not recommended, make it yourself it takes literally 2 minutes of effort.
>>39484747
Wat? R u retarded? You dont put butter in chicken.
Op its ok

Hey /fit/
I was wondering what you guys would think of doing mainly weighted dips, chins, pistol squats and one leg db dl's?
Would this be practically the same as bench squat deads?
Thanks.
>>39484679
>Would this be practically the same as bench squat deads?
No. Weighted dips, chins and pushups are legit ways to train the upper body, but there is no way you can get the same amount of work for your legs and posterior chain without barbell movements. You don't replicate squatting with several hundred pounds on your back by doing some pistol squats and dumbbell deadlifts. Your body just won't get the same stimulus.
>>39484707
I meant weighted pistols just to be clear. Thanks for the reply
>>39484730
ohp, bp, dl, squat are irreplaceable
that being said, do whatever you have to do to get the results you want
why not do them all? the compounds AND the alternatives
Daily reminder that doing sports and eating sportscandy is bad for you.

Being lazy and eating sweets keeps you healthy anon, would you like a nice and C R E A M Y cake?
>>39484552
Exercise keeps you healthy, sports can fuck you up later on down the road.
And sportscandy is still candy. Eat real food.

I used to be around 300 pounds. Didn't do cardio very much and just lifted because I was inexperienced. Lost quite a bit and started benching up to 285. What's your best advice to lose my belly fat? Diet plan? Cut and tone?

Read the fucking sticky.
>>39484450
>What's your best advice to lose my belly fat?
Read the sticky and stop being lazy. Congrats on the weight loss, I dont see loose skin or stretch marks. Im having a hard time believing you desu senpai

Also on a side note it really bothers me when I see fat DYELs wearing tank tops in the gym.
Like why? Do you actually think you're a bodybuilder or something?
Why do you fear the fat anon? It's time to stop.
You're right. We must stop living in fear. We must fight against the fat. Eradicate it for the betterment of the world.
I am calling for the First Crusade against the obese. The only good fatty is a dead one.

wtf this video is uploaded by teds offocial channel, not even tedx
>>39484256
TED is like publishers with books nowadays. If it makes money, theyll shit it out. If you want very good presentation/seminar/talks, subscribe to channels of renowned institution like harvard. A bit more like lecture and boring to many though probs

I hope you dont visit saunas too often
>>39483939
do people actually get bloods after every cycle though? I though that was one of those stupid OCD things some people do like throwing out vials if a bit of the rubber fell in.
Have access to Superdrol clone, and have tamox leftover for PCT as well.. is it worth a cycle to boost winter bulk?

>full of buff and aesthetic beef bros
Why isn't fit all about the crossfit?
Also, where do they get all their steroids from?
I personally have nothing against crossfitters. When done correctly, advanced lifters can benefit alot from crossfit programming. I just personally dont want to pay 70 dollars a month to join their gyms. Im making gains just fine on my own.
Most of them didn't get to that size using crossfit.
They just realised they can cash in on it with their already good bodies, and thankfully not get injured like the newbs do because they know when to not be a retard.
Most of /fit/ is too autistic for the social, friendly aspects of crossfit
I'm a new lifter, just getting into it. Formerly a fat fucker, not so much now, due to 25 mins HIIT every other day and a 500 calorie/day deficit. I'm now 188lbs from 228lbs.
I'm looking for a nice simple program to give me a good strength foundation. I've been reading about the Stronglifts 5x5 thing as it's supposed to be a good place to start for beginners to get the fundamentals right.
Anyone else used stronglifts?
>>39483769
Yes, Stronglifts should give you a good base for the first few months; it certainly worked for me.
Depending on your build you might find the basic program bit lacking in upper body development; in that case you might want to add those dips and pullups to your workout.
>>39483896
Thanks man
and do the pullups on the bench day and the dips on the ohp day.
So we may or may not agree that /nofap/ is a meme. With this, your milage may vary on what you get out of it. Could be a gf, increased or decreased test, etc. But the use of porn is universally accepted as bad when it comes to benis/brain health.
Could there be any exceptions? Like is porn only bad when you get into the weird fetish shit or is it ok if you stick to the non deviant things like softcore/solo stuff?
Im not a porn addict in any sense, though i do look at it sometimes, while staying away from the extreme stuff. Does even the slight visual stimulation of vanilla porn have the potential to cause E.D. or can i still view a naked body on a screen when im feeling horny?
Bear in mind that im currently having no sex nor do i have a desire to find a partner since I'd rather not add unneeded complication to my life.
Yeah porn is bad. I find that it causes me to think about sex way too frequently and causes me to put women on a pedestal. Disruptive sexual thought patterns hurt my scholastic productivity and seduction.
I fap once a week on Sunday evenings to "cleanse" for the week. Testosterone benefits from not fapping typically peak after 5 days for me (just in time for the weekend).
Im trying to incorporate kegel exercises in the morning when I wake up. I have problems with pe and levels help with orgasm control.
Can anyone here attest to the benefits of prostate masturbation? I heard it can feel amazing too.
>>39484311
>Testosterone benefits from not fapping
There aren't any

Porn just puts me on a slippery slope.
Day one I'll fap to regular naked chicks
Then a blowjob vid
Then a incest blowjob vid
Then cartoon porn
Then trap cartoon porn
Then sissy porn
Then mexican sugar dancing
Anyone have experience? I'm "bulking" for 2-3 wks and cutting for 1 wk repeat. I've recently come off a cut so i don't wanna lose the abs. Don't see why it won't work if i'm making consistent strength gains.
Yea man, sounds like a great idea. Personally I have no eveidence to say otherwise, but also no evidence to prove its effective. I'd say go for it though if you want abs all year round
>>39483728
Eat at maintainence. Counting calories is all estimation, it's never exact. Some days you'll be eating above, other days you'll be eating below maintenance depending on variables such has calorie expenditure for that day. Even if your precise as possible in counting calories it's impossible to 100% accurate. Results will be slower but you won't get fat.
>>39483728
Why is your belly so fat but you have abs? Fucking weird
