Hey /fit/bros, first time posting on this thread. I am a regular /pol/lac/k/, but I hear that you goy really know what you're talking about. I'm a 29 yo huwhyte male, correctional officer, in Georgia. I have to fight felons who use extensive calisthenics everyday fairly often (once every 1-2 months), so far, I'm doing ok. I was on CERT, but I quit because holy fuck it's not worth working 70+hours for practically no more pay.
My general question is this; What can I be doing better?
I work out often(5-7 times a week), but not very hard. I typically do a rotation of Push, Pull, Legs. I have a few sets I try and do perfect form with and alternate heavy/high reps;
Bench
Squat
Deadlift
Overhead
Row
I have other 'accessory' sets I go ham on and do as much weight as I can, fucking the form;
Curls
Pec Deck
Lat Pull-downs
Leg Curls/Extensions
Nose-breakers
Various bitch machine sets
So, my General question is; What can I do better?
I'm 6'2", 295 lbs
My main question is: I've worked out steadily now for about a year and a half, and I'm not seeing any improvement, besides max increases. This is great and all, but I want to lose fat, I've tried the cutting formula for a month at a time, to no avail. I'm thinking it must be testosterone. Is there anyway to make more of it naturally? Sorry if this is a /trash/ post, but I figure I'd give it a shot.

What, exactly, is "doing better?" Getting better one rep maxes? Better endurance? What? You need to get well defined goals.

Assuming that you've already passed the set of noob gains, you should look into a program with longer periodization such as 5/3/1 or some such.

For losing weight, all you have to do is eat less while keeping your protein intake up there (~1g per lb of LEAN BODY MASS). Figure out how many calories per day keeps you at your weight, then subtract 500 from that to lose a pound per week. 2 lbs / week (= 1000 cal deficit per day) is also a good rate, but I wouldn't go faster than that - it causes you to lose more muscle.

Next time you have questions, I suggest you go to the QTDDTOT: >>39201525

Fellow georgian, whats up!

Honestly, I'd say watch your carb intake more than anything. No pasta or pizza, do hamburgers with only one half the roll, etc. Red meat for dinner twice a week, skinless chicken and fish the other nights. Fresh veggies 2-3 meals a day. No processed shit. ever. None. No fast food, no candy, no packaged meals, etc.

Either that or get into bouncing. You're a hardcore lookin dude as is. leverage that to make fatter paychecks man.

op this anon is a retard. unlike what shit like "supersize me" wants you to believe, food is food, its all made up of nutrients and macros. someone that eats mcdonalds everyday could be in better shape than a "organic" eater if they account their intake/macros.

try myfitnesspal and start tracking your food and macros. also your exercises are kind of all over the place, unfocused. try to tone down a specific thing you want to work on per session.

On the fence about just saying fuck it and lifting for gains with no care about looks anymore. If I did, I would go for Silverback gorilla mode.

What is your experience with Greyskull LP? 3x squat/week is getting really tiring at this point and I want a more upper-body focused program. Greyskull LP seems like the perfect program to do after reaching T-rex mode with Stronglifts or SS. I'm currently towards the end of my Stronglifts program and switching some of my lifts to 3x5 to see if I can still squeeze out some noob gains before moving on to an intermediate program.

Pic related is my symmetricstrength, and as you can see, it lags quite a bit on upper body (squat looks a bit weak but I do high bar so I'm okay with it). I'm really unhappy with my delts, chest and triceps.

Also, is there a good app that lets me track it? I used the SL app and it was pretty good.

Is there a better program that would suit my needs?

So I literally just got back from the gym, today was my deadlift day. I'm currently running 5/3/1 and today was my 3/3/3 day. On the last set at 390lbs I did 2 reps, then on the 3rd as soon as I pulled it off the ground I felt like 3 consecutive pops in my lower back. I immediately dropped the weight and left the gym.

I'm probably just going rest this week and do this cycle over again. Should I be worried? It doesn't hurt its just kind of stiff and it's hard to bend over. I've read online that if you don't have stomach pain or numbness in limbs it's likely nothing serious. Anyone have any experience with situations like this?

Brehs I need help

I'm friends with this girls who is really fucking cute, We've been friends for about 4 yeras. I found out shes into me and might want a relationship, Today we almost kissed but I didn´t do shit.

My problem is that were good friends and I dont want to ruin the freindship, and that she is a little fat,shes around 5'6" and about 140 ish. Shes really fucking cute and this is my chance to start a good relationship. What should I do brehs?

Also she lives fairly close to my house so sex would be on a daily basis.

Also also. Do you prefer to do back and bi, or back and shoulders?

Back and biceps, but I think training around movements rather then bodyparts is better.

1500 is what you should shoot for with calories. If you can get about 30 mins light to moderate excercise in that would be good. I was 5' 11" 190 for a while and dropped a lot of fat like that. It helped that I had a job that consisted of throwing around big heavy boxes all the time
