Bulk during winter.
Stats?
>>39326736
i've never done a bulk before but i think i am starting to plateau at this weight as far as size goes. having real trouble putting on any size, but i have to eat heaps to gain weight.
benching 220, squatting 250 at max
How does it feel knowing that Squats don't boost overall test like you were told and that you can get legs just as big with the leg press?
>>39294611
>Leg press
Meme exercise.
Quarter ROM. Too much load on the knees.
>>39294611
>get to gym
>see a guy doing 4pl8 leg press
>he looks at me smirking
>warm up
>do 3.5pl8 squats
>look at him and smirk
>>39294611

Does anyone else here suffer from Body Dysmorphia? Basically where you think you are skinny when you aren't. I have it and my life is being quickly ruined because of it. I do everything I can to convince myself I am a skinny weakling and not a big strong guy. For example
>I use sticky notes on the weights to write '5lbs' so I can pretend they are 5lb weights I am struggling with
>I wear an ipod with no music, just recordings of myself laughing so I can pretend people are laughing at me for being skinny
>I have a giant inflatable toy hand that I wrap around my waist and pretend it is my real hand so I am so skinny I can grab round my stomach
>I started a rumour at work that I have anorexia
I just hate the idea of my body being skinny and must motivate myself.
Please tell me I am not alone
>>39336957
Body Dysmorphia is when you think that you are skinny or out of shape , not when you try to convince yourself that you are
i kinda do but in the opposite way.
i'm overweight, not obese, but when i see myself in the mirror i think I'm 300+lbs when I'm actually 190
its why i hate looking in mirrors with my shirt off
>whole life people tell me I'm skinny
>women tell me they wish they had my body
>people tell me shit like I should be chained to the floor and force-fed until I look like a human being
>want to look like my fat family
>lift for a few years
>eat until I feel sick every meal
>look in mirror and all I see is a 6' 140 lbs twig
>no scale can convince me otherwise
>no number of people I've known my whole life telling me how big I am now removes the skeleton from my mirror
Yeah pretty sure I have body dysmorphia
who else here /noalcohol/?
>>39335343
no alcohol no hangover
>>39335345
no social life
>>39335343
I only drink socially. So yeah.
Has lifting actually helped any of you get girls or has it had no effect whatsoever on you sex lives?
>>39335230
It improved my face, body, and gave me the confidence to get out there. I've been with about 30 different women this year, and found someone really special that I plan to spend my life with, whereas before it I'd been with one in my life and never really felt anything for women at all.
That might not be a good thing, and for me it was just a pleasant side effect of doing something I loved, but it's my belief that the confidence booster was the key element as I've also been able to use my newly filled-out face and body to make money, which is nice.
Lifting has improved my stamina I already had a gf from before I started we've been together 6 yrs so it hasn't helped me get girls but I'm also not trying for that however my gf is definitely more pleased with the quality of our sex and so am I being fit is more fun overall but I wouldn't do it jus for girls
>>39335230
it helped me with my last relationship
after i lost a lot of weight and i got some muscle mass my ex was crazy after me

I thought about doing Olympic lifting/squats 3 times a week and train the rest of the body/bb 2 times
y/n?
>>39333597
day 1: sn/pulls/bb
day 2: squats/bb
day 3: cj/pulls/bb
day 4: squats/bb
day 5: sn/cj
day 6 (optional): bb/recovery
how does that sound
>>39333611
Pulls as snatch pulls or in general?
Last one archived
When you get sore legs do wait till you recover or do you continue training and squat it out?
>>39332578
Squat it out.
Has anyone run boston here? How was it?
If it's just DOMS, you'll find they stop hurting the next time you go to the gym

Why do men always outnumber women in gyms when there's (probably unarguably) more pressure for women to maintain a good appearance?
Women just have to eat less to be hot.
Because girls just have to not be fat
Guys need to bench 225 and deadlift like 4 pl8s while being under 10% bodyfat
>>39325386
benching 225 will have you skinny still lmao unless its for 40 reps
>Have been cutting on 1400 cals for two weeks
>Just went crazy and ate like 5000 calories
JUST
>>39338869
>cut on 1400 calories
LONDON
>>39338890

I have two questions about Blaha's 5x5 program
>Why only one set of deadlifts?
>Is it okay to cardio?
When routines say one set of diddys they're talking about working sets. You still have to do a shit ton of warmup before. That's why you only need one with the super heavy weight
>>39338615
I do one warmup set in SS with 70kg and then do one real set with 110kg. Is that fine?
>>39338532
>>Why only one set of deadlifts?
Because one set is enough to make progress. If you can lift more each time you do it, the program is working.
>>Is it okay to cardio?
Its always ok to do cardio. Only lazy faggots neglect it and use shit excuses. It only takes 5 minutes to eat back what you burn in calories.
