bit too gelatinous for me. While i do enjoy tendon in my vietnamese pho and bbq ribs, there's just something about corned beef that's off putting.

What shoes do you wear for lifting?
I've been wearing some very flimsy slip-ons and I feel like they're starting to annoy me in my squat. Are all-star the best shoe for squat/deadlift? I don't want to spend $40+ and I hate having a raised heel.

Converse with thick ankle support

The ones from German military (Bundeswehr), they're produced by adidas and have a perfectly Flat sole, and you can keep them when you leave military

Honestly, no shoes. As long as you don't walk around the gym with no shoes, I don't think anyone cares. Also, you'll look back at this as a troll if you drop the weight on your feet

Post your gym stories here, funny sad or interesting
> train in a hole in a wall gym, it's obviously been leaking money for ages but is still here after 30 years somehow
> Owner is a former amateur boxer with a bunch of KOs, massive guy and has massive dobbermans in the reception
> he finally sells the gym to some guy, he starts to clean the place up and buys new bars plates etc
> all looking good for 3 months
> Old Owner comes in today and throws the new guy out, it turns out the guy is out of money and hasn't paid rent (1k/month) or any installments (the gym was sold to him on like 10 installments or something)
> old owner closes gym early and gives everyone a free protein shake saying it will re-open next week

Do 4x5.

Add rows. I'm not a big fan of the split, but I always try to do one pull for every push.

What are the REAL standards for weighted chinups? Last time at the gym i tried them with 1pl8 at 150 lbs bodyweight and i managed to do only 5 reps and it was really hard. I never saw anyone at my gym doing weighted chinups or pullups.

1 pl8 for 5 is ok
2pl8 for 5 is good
>>
>>38808798
Haven't seen many people doing them here too. I was actually surprised that my gym owns the belt and chain for them.
My stats for "weighted calisthenic" movements are
>4x5 +10kg dips
>3x5 +5kg pullups
I'm really happy about dips mainly, because I stopped lifting for over a year because of shoulder injury and pain. My lats are piss weak tho, and I think I have problems activating them in pullups.
>>
I chinup with 40kg for reps and dip 50kg for reps at 90kg bodyweight ama
>can do 100 sit-ups per set
>can do 100 squats per set
>can't do more than 15 pushups in one set
What do i do?

pushups

lose weight fatty
Also why are you doing 100 rep squats?
>>
>>38808517
Do pushups... doing pushups allows you to do more pushups so that you can do more pushups.

Hey /fit/, would you say it's possible to look fit, not exactly huge or very muscular, on home exercises alone? For example, this image is my body goal: can any average person achieve this look without going to the gym?
I'm just shy as hell so I have a hard time going to the gym (it's a small town and the gym is also a small place with machines and weights and stuff) and I tried going a couple times but I feel awkward as fuck and I don't even really know what I'm doing. So I was wondering if home training could also be an option since I don't want to get a lot of mass, just gain some muscle and get in shape.
Anyway, gym or no gym, what kind of exercises would you recommend? The Strating Strenght thing on the sticky?
If this thread is stupid just ignore it, I guess. I simply figured I'd lose nothing by asking, if I get no answers that'll be an answer in itself.

Hahahaha absolutely no. Unless you have a homegym.

You need to go to gym for 3 years and use roids to get close to a body like this

The circumference of my dick is 6 inches, what the fuck man. How do you fit two bones in there?

Reverse barbell curls my dude. If one side starts lagging behind switch to dumbbells so you can't compensate.
Focusing on keeping your elbows still, up fast, down slow. Guarantee your forearms explode.

>>38808066
first answer a few things
do you have familiar history of HBP?
what's your salt intake in your diet?
how much water do you drink every day?
are you stressed right now?
what's your occupation?
>>
>>38808066
Caffeine for sure will spike your BP, how is your sodium intake? Are you salting your food heavily? What is your blood pressure exactly?
>>
Never salt my food, but I do eat out a bit so I am sure they put salt in it. I drink a lot of tea throughout the day. I am a writer and have constant deadlines, so I am under stress probably 10 months a year. Not really avoidable.
Trying to drink more water I think I am pretty healthy otherwise.

He has claimed to be teenager for more years than possible. Also he clearly uses fake plates. I'm not saying he isnt jacked, but 495 doesnt move the way he makes it move (lightly bouning around i rack and jcups)

Hi guys, DYEL going to the gym for the first time tomorrow to do SS.
Rerack shit, use a towel, mind my own business. Anything else? Pls tell gym etiquette.

Wear shorts and a t shirt.
Don't wear something too tight or too loose. It should feel comfortable to wear.
If you're fat, please tuck in your shirt. When doing lifts this prevents your gut hanging out, especially during OHP and bench.
Otherwise have fun.
>>
>>38807872
be nice and polite, try not to steal or hog equipment
if its a small gym you can greet people, firm handshake
if its a big gym then you would have to run around the facility like an idiot, big no no
>>
>>38807872
I read a thread another day and I cant remember the exact point of it but it was something along the lines of this
If you are doing deadlifts at low weights dont use the bar, use the dumbells instead? Is that gym etiquette or was anon just being voicey?

What I do is basically a slow negative romanian deadlift, keeping my spine neutral. I do this with different foot positions.

Okay so first pic was taken around Easter this year. 102kg and about 20 something % BF. Cut to 87kg 13% BF in August. Wanted to go as low as sub 10% BF and then start a slow bulk through winter. Is this viable or should I bulk straight away ? Did some FBW with dumbells for a couple of months with good diet. Recently started 5x5. By starting I mean I only did 1 week so far. Some of exercises were limited by the weight of dumbells (10.5kg each) and besides that I wanted to take it slow to make sure I won't kill myself. Bought myself a bar and 100kg of weights. DL is higher than the rest because I realised I can easily lift 50kg bags of wheat in my barn. Lastly I know I look like total shit but I'm working to change that. Wanted to look like a normal human being just once in my life and that's why I started all that.
Stats now:
195cm 87 kg
OHP:22.5 kg
SQ: 18.5 kg
DL: 60 kg
BP: 22.5 kg
ROW: 22.5 kg

Don't worry about cutting or bulking. Just eat and lift. Come back 1 year.

Cut until your lifts stall, then bulk.
