So my bench is just 2 plate, but my chest is getting too big. Especially lower chest.
A large chest is too much of a bodybuilder thing.
Should I drop benching? What would you do?
Right now I'm on madcow, following SS
>>38955043
You won't get advice around here unless you post your chest.
Pecs or gtfo.
BF?
>>38955043
Just do Incline chest exercises, (bench, flys) and avoid anything that targets the lower chest (decline bench, chest dips)
Is this achievable natty?

Sure, just go talk to some women after your gains start to show.

When people are doing squats, or deadlifts, I always see people using the big black plastic weights that are larger than their respective weight in metal weights.
Do I need to use these?
They feel lighter too. Is that just my imagination?
I could understand why someone might use them for diddys, because it probably helps with form or something, but why use them for squats?
Also, is it necessary to use those spring clips to keep the weight in place?
I never really see/feel the weights slipping, so does it really matter?
Finally, as of recently, when squatting, for some reason my lower back hurts, which doesn't really make sense to me.
I'm pretty sure that my form is good(knees don't pass toes, keep head up, center bar across shoulders, etc.), so I don't really know what's up.
Why would my back hurt when squatting?
Use clips if just to set an example,or just think that some big guy is gonna have to rescue you misbalance and one slides off then you snap shit up and the bar is falling onto your head as the qts stare
The "plastic weights" are used if the lifter thinks he might drop the bar on the ground during a lift e.g. during a failed squat
they are more resistant to impacts.
and they weigh the exact same as their metal counterparts

>how do I write a sentence
>rescue you misbalance and one slides off
Is there a certain weight that I should start to be worried about this?
My stats are pretty low, since I just started about a month ago.

Squat 120
Row 100
Bench 85
Deadlift 175

for how long uve been lurkin on fit/?
about 20 months
Idk but I just came back to fit to witness the epic FSOTD meme be born
Left when supermang was still here and fuck knows when I started shitposting here since before then
Four years or so I guess
>Still no gf
ever since i started lifting, i just wanna fight someone.
>>38954537
dont. fighting IRL is different than in the movies. if you or the other guy stumbles backward and falls and smashes his head on the pavement he/you could die. if that doesnt happen, you're likely to be arrested and do time, or get shot in the face if you're american

Even if I didn't browse this cancerous board I would still be self-concious because british girls are fucking giants and I study in a uni where most of them are either studying fashion or fashion marketing and journalism. Most of them are fucking 5'8+ with some 6'0+ giants that do modeling. Not that I want a british whore because the culture here is only partying and blowing men in the WC, but I feel so bad walking around girls who are taller than me.
>darker skin
Gee, I wonder why you're a failure
>>38954391
Shit, did I post on /pol/ by mistake
>>38954406
No, this is still /fit/ but I wouldn't expect a correct response from a shitskin

>tfw slightly lactose intolerant
>tfw can't drink a glass of milk without farting all day
>tfw you can't bulk like everyone else and get enough protein during the day though the easy way
life is suffering
>>38954332
Heck, whole milk is so good.
Nice taste OP, fuck Q-Meieriene
>>38954379
lactose free milk or lactase pills you poorfag
How many scoops per day do you take?
Is there anything else that has similar protein/calorie ratio as whey powder? (Other than plain meat)
>>38954277
2 scoops with milk after workouts only
Eat more on days in between
Two scoops a day in the same shake
When I'm working out or haven't had that much to eat I'll have it with milk, otherwise I'll have it with water.
Granted, if I've REALLY pigged out that day I'll have my shake with water.

Narrow traps but Wide Shoulders? How possible?
How does this happen? Isn't your Clavicle width what makes your traps insertion point wide?
Notice this a lot with taller guys. They got long collar bones, but narrow looking traps.
How do the traps get more narrow as we get taller?
Why do they no longer connect all the way at the end of the Collar bones/clavicles?
Kevin Nash had the same thing
Because hapthor or however it's spelled has extremely large shoulders and your traps do not attach at the end of the clavicle, that is where the deltoids attach, therefore: they must attach further inwards although still on the lateral third

Alright, but you better not be lying to me again
Didn't see one so I figured I'd start.
Rate my routine? I'm currently doing SS but wanted a 4-Day Push Pull for when I come off of it. My goal after SS will be aesthetics/size. Any suggestions? Not exactly sure what to do with legs.
>>38953796
BTW right now I just have it programmed to 50 and 40 reps on the indicated workouts. This is about the range I plan to work in I just wasn't sure exactly what to do. Advice on that also?

Best over the counter penis pill?
Alright /fit/ I need some guidance here. Gonna be having a girl to my place after the gym in a couple days and she 100% wants to fuck.
In fact, we did fuck before, but I wasn't satisfied with my performance. I think it was a combo of nerves and the fact I haven't fucked anything in like 5 months. I was dropping my erection.
I need some help to get my confidence back. If any canada bros can answer this: What's the best over the counter pill to "assist"? Give brand names and where to buy, I'm assuming they're at gas stations etc
Bump plz
>>38953784
the less costly, and fewer side effects way of solving your problem would be to address the actual mental issue that blocking your tiny wee wee anon. you said yourself, you're obviously harboring a lot of anxiety and stress about performance and its obviously hindering you. you need to relax, think about something else, dont concentrate so much on the actual performance, sit there and revel in just the feeling and relax. maybe jerk off before hand so youre not soo uppity
>>38954301
Any tips on that? Breathing techniques or whatever

Maybe tomorrow lads. Maybe tomorrow.
I binged on homemade chicken tendies yesterday
Chugged a bunch of water and 2 cups of coffee to flush it out.
doing my routine and workout as usual
Am i gonna make it?
Coffee is fine though?
Did you ever fart while doing squats or deadlift?
I haven't but it makes me nervous thinking about it
>>38952643
i did.
but i work out between 20-22h
my gym is pretty much empty then, which is nice.
but its a dyel-gym which is the downside
Yea, I use the fart as extra thrust on some heavy lifts
I did and im a girl which doesnt mean shit but still, if you lift heavy at some point you might fart fuck it
