first for
did Bodorio leave for real this time?
Like for real for real? What happened?
I neglect my calves and idgaf about them at all
RIPOSTE'N
Think I figured out how I'm going to prepare for maxing on Sheiko. Instead of running the whole #32, I'm just gonna run week 1 and week 4 of #32 and skip the skills test so I have a good 1.5 weeks of low intensity, low volume work to recover.
I get much more recovery time when compared to just running the first week for the skills test and I dont have to run the whole cycle and waste a month since I'm not prepping for a meet

>2 weeks of use without a diet change at all
Did you maintain the same kcal intake? Also if you were staying up more and sleeping less, that would probably explain things since you burn more calories conscious than unconscious.
>>38462210
No shit it causes weight loss. I'll take it for a study session and forget to eat for 12 hours.
>>38462817
I can't even tell if this is very subtle trolling or plain stupidity.
What are the most effective forearms exercises to gain mass in the encercled areas (see pic)?
>>38462135
Thats a manlets hand
are you retarded
how do you expect to only grow one side of a muscle fiber
It's mostly tendon at that point.
Has your CNS ever been fatigued?
>>38461210

Both of my shoulders are aching and cracking something fierce. I went to PT and have introduced stretches to minimal results. I think my best course of action is to take a break from lifting for some time to let my shoulders heal and relax.
So, what's the best way to take a break? For how long, and what can I do in the meantime? Body weight routines? Stretching? Cardio? I'd rather not sit on my ass the whole time.

Roll out your muscles a few times a week, I had the same problem and rolling out my muscles with a baseball and foam roller was painful, but released the muscles around my shoulder.
Is the zero calorie version of this a good replacement for water if you don't like the blandness of water?
>>38458031
It's fine but you should still learn to appreciate water. If you only drink flavored stuff you'll be more tempted by sugary drinks when the lore cal options aren't available
What's this body type called?
Manlet

Threads over folks
Anybody suffering from gynecomastia? Sometimes I lose all my motivation to get fit and lift cause I will still have those fucking giant nipples and boobs. How are you dealing with it?
>>38454297
Buddy, few people are perfect. Having a decent physique will at the very least lessen the visual impact of your mantiddies, and if all else fails; there is surgery.
>>38454297
Clomid and Novaldex
Makes you a bit weepy for the 3-4 weeks you go on it but you keep your gains and don't have girly nipples anymore.
>>38454297
Go see a therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist and say it makes you depressed. Then he can recommend you to a surgeon about it all insurance included
Will he be forgotten in 2017?
Never. Forever mirin. You're a sick cunt if you wanna be. Not a sad cunt.
>>38448415
I don't plan on dying yet, nerd.
>>38448415
Why did you use that picture out of all of the ones you could have used?
Why do I even lift?
>exgf got her bachelor
>Friends around me finish uni
Me?
I lift, work 8h a day and more as a trainee, still live at home with nearly 30
Fucking hell this is depressing /fit/
You're supposed to find balance. If you're living at home at close to 30, you haven't found balance.
Everyone's more ahead in life than me
>>38463741
You lift to cope and you deal with shit normally
You need to deal with your life and progress, you cant stagnate and expect things to be good
DYEL modes report in.
>tfw still haven't broke out of DYEL mode
Am I still DYEL mode?
OHP 3x5 52kg
Bench 3x5 80kg
Squat 3x5 100kg
Deadlift 1x5 120kg
>>38460514
hitmonlee? that you?
>>38460514
These are similar stats to me, except I'm squatting 110kg. I'm still looking DYEL as fuck and it feels shit. Will it ever get better?
What would happen if I took steroids right now? Pic related
Do it. Post pics.
>>38457211
Depends on your goal. Test/tren + clen/t3 would shred you but you probably wouldn't be able to handle it.
That aside, it just depends on your goals. Sterons are not miracle workers without work on your end.
>>38457211
Not much, unless you started hitting the gym hard
Been lifting without a spot for a long time now, and getting frustrated with lack of bench progress because of it (can't push up to new weight without constant risk of fucking myself up).
Have read/heard that dips and weighted dips are the best possible thing for your chest. Could obviously do that without a spot which is great, but worried about ditching bench press entirely.
Is bench really worth it, or is it just my inner bro telling me I need it? What are your thoughts on dips, /fit/??
Also any other bench alternatives/ general chest routines appreciated.
>>38456489
I hear you m8, I tore my pec a while back and once it's healed I'm thinking about ditching bench and just going with weighted dips & pushups
>>38456489
Bench press is a meme. Here is how to get a nice chest without bench pressing:
- a lot of standing overhead pressing
- believe it or not, a thick and wide upper back will make your chest bigger and fuller.
- Now here is the main chest workout routine, do it once or twice per week:
-- 3 x 12 dumbbell fly. Light to moderate weight, focus on the bottom. Slow tempo. The pec muscle will be stretched hard with this exercise.
-- 3 x 12 dip ( or weighted dip). The trick is to squeeze the chest all the time. Never lock out. Try to imagine you use the chest only the close the arms together instead of pushing down.
-- 3 x 12 one arm cable cross over. This is the finisher exercise. The trick of this exercise is to squeeze really hard at the end of the rep and pause for 1 second. The first exercise ( dumbbell fly) is for stretching, and the last exercise is for contracting.
>>38456489
dips are pretty good unless you're a powerlifter or someone who needs a big bench, it's not necessary
