I've started going to brazilian jiu jitsu practice every day, there we start with a warmup that involves about 100 reps of squats, 100 reps of pushups of different variations and 100 reps of core exercises of different variations, not to mention the half an hour of sparring and a little bit of jogging as well
will my muscles go catabolic and start melting off my skin leaving only my bare skeleton exposed?
how can I still gain strength and go to the gym while doing this?
I want to get strong at the deadlift, squat, bench press, and weighted pullup, I also want to gain muscle mass
should I run wendler 5/3/1 before the bjj workouts?
I want to get good at BJJ but I also want to get strong and big
>>38684208
>how can I still gain strength and go to the gym while doing this?
eat and sleep more
might not have to sleep more if you are already doing enough of that
the bjj is 4 times a week btw

>>38684208
Eat more. That's it.

>MFW I see clips used on the smith machine

>that guy who walks in circles during his resting time
>In the gym and this guy asks to feel your muscles

>>38683964
How many times do you think you could squat him?
>>38684009
not once, i hear he's a big guy
>wanted to make a friend today
>guy next to me squating 3 pl8 with perfect form
>say "dude I'm really mirin you man I love your form."
>he just looks at me and says uh no thanks
Such is life as an Indian
>>38683639
lmfao did you actually say "mirin"?
>>38683649
It's slang man. I think he thought I said sow thing else because I was mumbling
>>38683658
nobody says mirin irl.
if he knew what you meant, you just sound autistic. if he didn't know what you meant, he probably thought it was some gay slang for wanting to suck his dick in the shower
So I went from 60mm to 52mm in 2 months of gym. What is the abdominal fat of a thin person?
I don't understand the question.
>>38683625
He's not even 3 inches tall and wants to know how fat pigmy mice get
>>38683625
I lowered my abdominal fat from 60mm to 52mm, but I'd like to know what's the average size of a thin person's belly fat.
>cut
>finally have abs
>want to bulk and actually get big but don't want to lose abs
What do I do, /fit/
Just make sure to take good pictures of your abs before you bulk again
Slowbulk. Eat a couple hundred kcal over maintinance.
Do mini cuts if you lose too much definition.
you face the inevitable, lean bulk/maintain and slowly progress or go the roid route
>tfw getting motivated by listening to Hitler's speeches before workout
>tfw nazi power is pushing me forward
my power level rises by the minute, m8s
Whatever works for you mate. I listen to upbeat anime, 2hu, and vocaloid songs.
>>38683543
I see no problem with that

We all know that No Fap giving you extra confidence is a huge meme, but does it actually have any real quantifiable health benefits?
>>38683520
fapping to pron gets you used to instant gratifaction leading you not be able to work to get girls
kinda like using cheats in a game. No fap basicly makes you hungry enough to make you approach someone so you can at least make an attempt
But on the other side it could make you rape someone aswell so fap at least once in a while
>>38683551
This, it's not a meme, but if you don't fap you'll go crazy and rage.
Fap 1-2 times a week at most.
If I used to jerk off 3-4 times a day should I try nofap like really nofap or should I start with jerking off once a day for a while and then stop doing it at all?
>that guy who deadlifts with an arched back
>that guy who squats 3 plates but only kinda bends his knees a bit.
>That guy who OHP's the bar
>that guy who's me and does the things I do
What do you do when you don't feel like you will not make it? I recently started working out and I feel so fucking weak I only bench 25 lbs. only 7 times and I feel like my squat and Deadlift form is fucked up. I can't find any good programs for aesthetics. I don't feel like I'll make it bros.
>>38683284
First and last bump. Can someone help me out?
if this isn't a troll the best way to get to aesthetics as a beginner is high reps. If you can only bench small do some dumbbell bench to work your way up (really good to help with form). Eat lots and bulk up like 20-30 pounds over the next few months since I'm assuming you're a skelly. Around Christmas either slow cut or maintain your weight and cut around mid-spring for maximum aesthetics for summer. Most importantly make sure you commit to it every single day and don't fall out of habit.
We're all gonna make it bro
I'll start by saying THANK YOU SKELETON!
So /fit/, please explain to me why you are not going into "starvation mode" (the body breaking down muscle to get energy) while fasting for 16-18 hours?
>tfw search online for answer and can't find it.
Also,
Intermittent Fasting Thread.
IF
Because you consume enough calories
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_fasting#Research
literally started a stopwatch, took 6.32 seconds.
>the body breaking down muscle to get energy
not eating is catabolic and when you go catabolic you will eat away muscle 100%, but you will use some fatmass too
>tfw can't wear my pepe /fit/ gear to gym anymore because CNN says it's racist
what

thoughts on jeff cavaliere?

Good for advice on form and biomechanics, but way too long winded. His videos are more padded than the shoulders of my mom's blazers.
Really good. If you ever want tips on a body part you can usually find upward of 15 relevant videos on his channel.
>>38682983
His vids are pretty good length imo. Other than the ones where he goes in depth into the biomechanics with loads diagrams and shit.
>>38683038
If I'm bored or eating and want something to listen to I'll sometimes just go through the biomechanics explanations.
