>fast forward to today
>foot pain almost gone, now only comes up if I've been sedentary all day, and goes away quickly once I start walking
>ready to get back into the gym
>not so ready to try and do rows again
What can I do to prevent this shit from happening again?
I can't even do 95lb barbell rows without snapping my shit up.....and doing 85lb rows makes my form suffer because of the difference in plate size.
What do?
Don't do rows
Wear a belt
Lower the weight
Do those seated rows instead
Do yates rows instead
Do wide grip pullups and rear delt raises
Strengthen your core
And most importantly, don't do rows

>, got lower than I ever have on squats, fuck yeah
80% chance theres lumbar flexion
>>39097214
>Do those seated rows instead
Like the machine, right?
Was thinking of doing either that or weighted pullups, like you said.
Makes me feel like a fucking pussy, but my core is super weak thanks to being a fucking ambulocetus my entire life.
And suggestions on other ways to strengthen my core, without snapping my shit up again?
Is being 193cm/6'4 considered too long? Or is it a good height?
>>39097200
>actually being 6'4
fucking manlets get off my board
holy fuck you're short
just end it senpai
>>39097200
naw. same here, 6'4. i stand out but girls dig it. just don't be skinny
>tfw switched from SS to PPL

>>39097114
gw op
yea switched to ppl from bodybuilder split and large increase in lifts
>>39097192
why dont you provide op with a better alternative?
>>39097204
he did. he said kys
is it normal to feel a "tingling" sensation on the sides of my forearms and wrists while doing barbell rows? should I be worried or just power through it?
I've watched the videos and regularly form check myself in the mirror and as far as I can tell I'm doing everything correctly
If your gyms got an Olympic sized ez-bar you could try that, or just ad 20 lbs and use a regular stubby ez-bar.
Something about doing rows with a straight bar killed my wrist and elbow joints for days afterward when I started rows, ez-bar didn't cause the issues and now straight bar doesn't bother me as much.
>>39097109
you might be gripping too narrow and getting tendonitis

What about
>the fat guy who for some reason out-lifts 90% of people in the gym with shit form, considers himself an authority and gives out advice
>>39096945
There's an overweight, balding manlet that constantly goes around at critiques everyone form from some bs he heard on jewtube.
>Oh, uh, you wanna turn your pinkies up to activate your shoulders. That's how you get real big
As if I'm going to take advice from someone who's smaller and looks worse than me

I masturbated to the thought of her humiliating me for the first time last night. I have to interact with her on a near daily basis.
How fucked am I?
>>39096824
Is she trying to get inside my head?
>>39096824
Man up bitch.
>>39096824
I think tou need to learn the difference between a cuck and someone who was cheated on. If you didn't approve of your gf fucking other people and she did it behind your back, you aren't a cuck, you were cheated on. If you wanted her to fuck other people and supported her doing it, or are raising another man kid without knowing it, then you're a cuck.
If she's giving you the signals, try sending some back. If she responds well, then slip her the dick.

Coming up empty here, but I have shit abs and it's not like I'm every checking out a dudes abs.
>Ectomorphic gym noob here
I just started lifting and eating a lot.
First picture about a 4 months ago (120lbs) and now (159lbs). Both not flexing.
This is the most I've ever weighed.
Can you guys rate my progress and physique?
Specifically - are my legs proportional to upper body?
I can post more flexed photos, but I may not have many old ones.
>>39096576
height?
>>39096576
>Ectomorphic
Stopped reading
>>39096583
Sorry. 6ft last time I went to the doctor.

Remember, kiddies: steroid use is temporary, but nasty stretchmarks around your armpits are permanent.
>>39096537
stretchmarks are normal you fucking retard
they fade with bio oil + time

>Roidfaggots are mad
Everyone knows you cheat, you low IQ sluts. Nobody naturally grows upper body muscles fast enough to obliterate the skin around their shoulders and armpits. Millennials are the fucking worst.

>10kg of peanut butter
Fuck off. I refuse to believe this is real.
How and where are the best places to get a /fit/ gf? Not necessarily for looks, but it would be nice to have one with same interest.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the gym

How can I become more autistic? I am sick of hanging around normies taking time from the gym and not making optimal gains due to my lack of interest in autismically programming my lifts. I also watch anime but I think I would get greater enjoyment out of it if I was more autistic. Plus, I need to learn math and computer programing languages for my major and austim would help me. I'm already a little awkward but how do I become a full on austsimo robot? Has anyone here had any successes becoming autistic?
>>39096236
*success
Yes, I was fairly normie-ish before coming here. Watch more anime and just participate in threads until you start speaking in memes. I have used the terms "manlet" "j00cy" "fuarkin zyzz-brah" "eat big to get big C'MON" irl around normies at my university. The only reason they still occasionally talk to me is that I'm the least out of shape and am always down to eat garbage food.
Also try wearing a wedding band, people will just assume you're a married guy with no time to deal with typical uni life.
