Fuck off, Eric.
How do you cope with the fact that everything is phony (inb4 dismissed for being like Holden)?
Literary theory is bs made up so that people can leech off of academia and get easy degrees.
Social scientists are idiots and weaponised by dishonest journalists as the new secular prophets telling people what to think / why they're shit.
Morality is never practised. A politician who kills innocent people is more popular than one who says politically incorrect things.
So many current novels are merely narcissistic barely disguised memoirs or written by people with zero life experience.
Science and maths are practised mostly within hideously subsidised and bloated academic institutions.
Sex and portrayals of success are shoved in your face wherever you go through songs and pictures. But you're not allowed to say you want any of it.
90+ % of jobs could be done by everyone and only recruit based on looks and personality. Your genetically determined appearance factors are the largest influence of how people treat you, yet this is never acknowledged.
Literature is not an oasis, not one bit.
There will just be a big "FUCK YOU" written there

Replace lat pulldown with pull-ups
It's oké. Maybe a bit much if you ain't pinning. And you don't need the supplements .

Are deadlifts and squats alone good enough for developing a nice juicy core?
>>38719665
why would you ignore core exercises
>>38719665
Not unless you feel like waiting for 3 or 4 years.
>>38719684
what other core exercises are there? OHP to some extent? the only "core exercises" I do are squats and DL and ab crunches but that's not due to some decision to ignore core but simply I can't think of anything else

My dad wants to go to the gym with me tomorrow, he's 51 years old, he's thin & has been active all his life because he goes to his private practice as a doctor all his life, but I just need to know, is there any precautions I should take for when he exercises?
SS+GOMAD
At least 2 scoops
>>38719007
just take it slow and start with LIGHT weights and be careful that he doesn't he get any injuries since they happen more easily at an old age and take much longer to heal or even heal at all

I have been working out since 2012 all natural. Rate
Gym Retards thread.
What retarded things have you seen people do at the gym or what exercises have you seen people do horribly wrong?
Pic related, here's an example:
>be me earlier
>at the gym benching heavy weights
>look over to the squat rack and see someone with just the bar racked with 5kg on each side
>kek, what a weakling
>see him prop the bar on his neck and walk it out
>hope this lil scrub can handle all that weight XD
>stood in the rack, watch him waiting to see him squat
>the retard can't even squat properly
>instead of crouching down with the weight and standing back up with it like a proper squat he bends over at the hips with almost straight legs so he looks like pic related, basically has his torso parallel to the ground
>then bends back up, does that a few more times for 8 reps
>holy fucking shit this guy is so retarded he doesn't even know how to squat
>consider going over to show him so he doesn't break his back but it's funnier just to watch
I was gonna record it on my phone but there were people around who would've seen me recording and reported me to gym proberly lol.
Anyway, what stories do you guys have?

I haven't shit in a couple days. I have gained a bit of weight despite eating below maintenance. Is constipation causing this?
Beans, oats, squats, repeat
>>38718565
Try a big cup of coffee.
>>38718739
I do. Every morning.
>he fell for lifting meme
pic very related
incels, are you even trying?
Do not even try claiming that you are lifting for yourself
Majority of this board is /r9k/ in denial
amount of >tfwnogf thread is way bigger than on /r9k/
>lifting for 5 years
>had gf for 3 years
>been taking roids for 1 year
Do I still lift for girls? Or am I just unstable?
>>38718496
are you natty?
I lift to become me, the person I was always meant to be. A God. I am no man, I am dynamite.
>>38718475
>That article
Heh
I look like a Hollywood villain, I'm both creepy and hot thank you very much.
>>38718496
Who cares? Lift for the sake of being someone who lifts, then it's just part of you or what you do and then you simply become someone with an aesthetic body. It's who you are, you're muscular. Everyone knows it.

I wish I was natty, but creatine offers too much gains.

Do you meditate? Nothing is better than being in the present moment while pumpimng iron.
>memeu kaku
Yes.
Meditating whilst working out is actually quite challenging to do right.
>not meditating in between sets
Its like you don't want to make it.
How do you expect to PR without meditating?
I've been losing weight. It had been going great for about 6 months.
Then for the last month I haven't lost anything. This would be an indication that I need to get more serious right? Eat better and do more exercising?
Well, I have. I've been eating salads every day for lunch for a month and I haven't lost a SINGLE POUND from it.
I eat a small breakfast of yogurt and a banana, a salad for lunch and a sandwich for dinner.
My BMR is around 2000 and I think I'm eating a little under it, but what difference does that make relative to my former diet?
The salad was changed from a Dunkin Donuts bacon egg and cheese bagel with hash browns, so it should be a substantial calorie reduction.
So why haven't I seen any gains from my calorie reduction? (Even if you disagree with my calorie counting, it shouldn't change the fact that I DID reduce my lunch calories)
Why the fuck has nothing happened?
because you are still eating too much.
Fatass
>>38718442
That may be correct, but it still doesn't explain why I haven't lost anything from a CALORIE REDUCTION
count your fucking calories
So a friend of mine has started taking all "vegetable protein powder" inmediatly talking shit about whey. His arguments are:
-Veggie protein is x1000 better, you absorb 100% of it so you need way less compared to whey protein.
-Whey is chemical and you shit what you don't absorb because your body can't absorb it as well as veggie (wut?)
Honestly to me sounds like vegan brainwash.
What I have read is that whey actually has more aminoacids than veggie and has a higher bioavailability so it is actually more effective.
So is there any truth in his claims? is it worth the x10 pricetag and shit taste?
Anyone has a link to a real study? always been curious about the protein absorbtion myths.
>>38718366
It's all the same shit, who fucking cares. It might be better it might not be.
Either way it shouldn't be your main source of protein. It's meant to be a supplement.
With that in mind, the price difference most likely isn't worth it.
Just google PDCAAS
skip both buy REAL food instead
