(pt.1)I'm no chad, but I used to be a fat piece of shit throughout high school. Socially awkward, fat stoner /V/tard who didnt gve a shit about anything eexcept granddaddy purp and gary's mod. Everyone thought i was a fucking loser and i pretended i didnt care but deep down i was just being delusional with myself. So, the summer between junior and senior year of HS I hated myself and at the time i really couldnt articulate why, but then I realized tht it was the image i had of myself in my head. I saw myself as a nerdy, stoner, waste of life and it was hard to realize that, let alone come to terms with it and fix it. I originally started running around my block at 6;30 am everyday before anyone from my school could see me and laugh. then i told my buddy about how i wanted to lose weight, and my buddy and I started exercising in his apartment's gym and i started to lose alot of weight, I was 5'10" and 185 pounds and couldnt bench 100lbs with a 36in waist line. I got down to 32 inches at 170 lb and was still fat, but at the beginnig of senior year after a summer of my first cut with newbie gainz, i looked like a normal person with some flab on the side. People started inviting me to places and i asked out a girl for the first time (it didnt go very well becuase I was still and awkward shit head, but social skills, like gains, take tie to improve). I felt included in life and I was actually starting to be comfortable walking around in my own skin. My buddy and I joined a real gym, (a sort of mom and pop type set up, small place, low monthly fees)
aesthetics = roids

>does being attractive really mean living life in easy mode?
Kek. No. Maybe for chicks. I'm attractive AF, but it just means the guy who's house I'm working on this week's wife and daughters might flirt with me and hold the door open and shit. And the occasional gay dude might tip me a hundo.
You know what? If you can go gay do it. Find a rich older gentleman and let him take care of you. That's the only way being a hot guy = life on easy mode.
how much do I need to bench to get a gf like this?
>>39309122
Nothing, anyone can have that nasty, ass-less, poorly postured skank. You have to be able to do at least your bodyweight to advance to anything approaching a quality woman.
>>39309122
Did she LMAO?
What madman hired this 2x4
What the fuck is the point of lifting if you're a short, slender-boned manlet? I'm not a shrimp, but my body is objectively small in comparison to most males. My potential is low. Bigger people my age who've never lifted are stronger than me merely by nature.
I'm having my doubts /fit/.
I'm 5'8''.
There is no point. I've been lifting for a year and have no gf and am kissless hugless virgin
I just do it for fun.
I grew up eating a lot of chicken and drinking a lot of milk when I was a kid. Just because those are coincidentally my favorite things to eat and drink. Sometimes I wonder if that saved me from ending up short or scrawny. What was your diet like when you were a kid OP?
>>39309352
I guess health would be the best reason.
>>39309507
Pretty bad. I was raised by young working class parents.
am I god mode yet?
God of not benching yes
>>39308919
That depends
>>39308943
i bench a lot my chest is just awful
what are the kinds of exersices i can still do to keep in shape. i tried running on a treadmill but the vibrations fuck my hand up
ps hand in pic isnt mine but mine looked exectly like that
Elliptical for cardio and you can probably do a 3 x 5 sets of not being a bitch.
I'll hop in on this one, I too have a fucked hand so I can only do lower body exercises that require nothing from my hand/upper body
>>39308868
rest.
Hi gays, so i train only calisthenics but one gym in my town is organizing a high school bench press contest, normally I wouldnt care but I know the guy who is favorite he is in other class and attention whore, roid dealer he is also sure he gonna win he benching about 130kg I dont even care about the prizes just want him to lose especially when he hates me as well and nobody expect me to win
Is there a chance i can build up a stronger bench press in 4-5 weeks atm i think i can bench 115-120kg any tips, training routines?
>>39308841
smolov jr bench
>>39308841
i think candito has a bench progression routine on his website
>1 month to go from 115 to over 130
no, even if you roid you wouldn't be able to
So this 70 year old powerlifer at my gym who's been lifting for 40 year tells me that i dont have to spent hours every week doing cardio..
All i have to do is row 300 meters after each workout on a rowing machine..
I have to try and reach 300 meters before 1 minutes..
Is this bullshit?
It'll burn alot of calories in the short run but the better way would be to do it at a moderate pace over a longer period of time
>>39308847
I hate doing cardio man.
This guy has got all the other powerlifters do this every time.
It completely drains you. Only done it once on a bulk though..
Gonna be cutting in febuary
Just dont wanna do hours of cardio feel me

Except that short people with muscles just look ridiculous, even worse the more muscles you have.
>>39308750
6'2 masterrace here.
So you're saying that a 5'9 manlet has to bitterly live out another 6,5 years after I've died from a pussy overdose? And after all that he still will not have learned?
Truly, nature is a cruel mistress.
>caring about life past 60 years old
Friendly reminder that no matter how much you lift and roid you'll always be perceived as weak if you have a receding chin

do you remember your first scoop?
>>39308549
let me tell you are story..
>many scoops of time ago in galaxy far far away
yeah i mixed it with water
fucking disgusting
>>39308579
Lol me too. It was chocolate whey.
So I run an intense mile every time I work out for my warmup. I run at 9 MPH for most of the time and for the last tenth I sprint at 11.5 MPH. After this run I go lift my weights.
Is this enough cardio or should I consider stepping it up in terms of distance or something?
If you work out once every 4 years, no. If you work out 3 times every day, yes.
>>39308522
that's not cardio. true cardio training to train aerobic system and induce capillarization is 40 min +. and 9 mph is a bit fast for a warm up imo.
>>39308559
I work out every day. Think it would be a good plan to up my distance by a quarter mile weekly or something?
Is there a way avoid hypertrophy, to increase squat without blowing up quads? Mine are already disproportionally big compared to the rest of my body.
more weight low reps
>>39308467
3-6 reps max per set, add more weight
Not really.
Lower reps might help but you ain't gonna get a 5pl8 squat 1RM without beastly quads.
>repping out 5pl8's on the DL
>leave the weight and go home
>>39308462
I DID THIS WITH 4PL8 TODAY AND WATCHED A MANLET SLINGSHOT THE BAR WHEN HE TOOK 3 PL8S OFF ONE SIDE
>>39308475
>bar laying on the ground
>short man touches it, it jerks up and flies away
nigga you got a leprachaun infestation
>>39308789
Not on the ground bro, people at my gym leave the bar on the little knobs at the end of the squat-rack's safety poles after deadlifting, so it's more like a foot off the ground
When you're limboing like this and stand straight up from that position what muscles does it use?

Technically every muscle in your body as you have to keep your balance. Including your vagina.
