I'm getting lower back pain (like 2 inches up from the SI joint) from overhead press - i think its because i am arching/hyperextending the lower lumbar.
but i can't figure out how to get your head back without arching the back - am i arching the thoracic instead ?
i see people kind of bob forward and back between lock out and bringing it down, and they all say keep neutral spine

You lean back from your ankles p much rather than from the lumbar back/hips
>>
Just down and do them. Or even better do dumbbells. Completely eliminated all of my shoulder /elbow pain
>>
>>38041538
You need to brace your abdominal muscles, what's happening is your spinal erectors are taking all the load without any help since you probably have weak abs and limited thoracic mobility
In the long term work on abs strength and t-spine mobility. Cues to use during ohp are to brace as if you were going to be punched and to put your shoulder blades in your back pocket, and if they sound the same as cues for deadlift and squat it's because that's how you maintain a neutral spine while doing any loaded movement.
As far as push cues go, try to push into your own jaw. It's paradoxical but your body will know how to get out of the way and the bar path will actually be vertical.

Macho is just the politically correct term (or old term I guess) for alpha. I'm curiois because as a species men are SUPPOSED to be macho.
It actually annoys me to see meek younger or older men.

Who the fuck says you need to be rich to be alpha? You can be alpha on a mediocre salary, can you not? Alpha is based off your persona and how you carry yourself.

It's like you don't even understand this word.

Hey, so pretty much my best plan right now to become an American (greatest country of all time tbqh) is to get shredded and then go on vacation there (I'm also gonna use tinder and other sites) to find a gf and marry her for a green card.
It's my biggest goal in life.
Do you have any tips on what body type American girls prefer? I'm going for ottermode right now, but maybe I should try bearmode instead? I've heard conflicting opinions.
I'm gonna supplement my physique by learning how to be confident / gain charisma / talk to girls and I'm gonna try to lose my 'tismo.
I think a general would be a good idea to share ideas and support one another, since we have the correct political / social opinions and share similar goals.
Anti-American trash PLEASE GO AND STAY GO. Shitpost somewhere else you deluded fucks.
Btw, yes, I'm white and not a Muslim, inb4 someone asks that.

so what are the things that bug you in a gym?
for me its fat guys who think they are fit and start giving bro science advice while thinking that they are this strong mountain of muscle but really they are just fat asses who can only half squat.

Is this a serious question? They live a hard, laborious life. Not our sedentary shit. And so long as they're not starving, calories in plus work = gains.
Don't overthink this shit.

Questions that don't deserve their own thread here.
So I just found out that I have asthma and 50% lung capacity.
My doctor prescribed me an inhaler and told me to take this dose daily: 1280 mcg Pulmicort and 36 mcg Formoterol.
Will this give me super powers?

To what degree can chest mass help cover up minor gyno? So far I've lost enough weight to expose the gyno from muscle, but not so much that all the fat behind the gyno is gone. Will working my chest help in that aspect?
>>
>>38073022
It basically doesn't.
But it sounds like you don't actually have gyno anyway.

I can feel a more firm disk behind my nipples, but I have to admit, it feels smaller now than it did 26 lbs ago, so I'm just sort of waiting it out until I reach my goal weight to see.

So far so good. 1500kcal a day. Just need to lose another 15-18lbs and I can start maintaining and eventually bulking.
Oats with protein and eggs have been my fucking staple for some time now. Thank god I can can both for fuckin $3
>>
>>38072999
5'5 manlet here. How come I lose 2 pounds per week when I am eating at 1600kcal? I only go to the gym 4 times a week for 1 hour each time.
Losing 2 pounds per week means my TDEE is at 2600kcal which is far higher than most TDEE calculators give me.

Bruhs.
Buy a callus shaver. Most satisfying thing ever.
Makes all other methods of callus care seem pointless. Hands are baby smooth again.

All of your greentext is idiotic.
You don't need it, so don't drink it.

"Only a couple" and "going to complete failure" what could possibly go wrong ???
On another note, if it's all about recovery, then perhaps yes, pre drinks are better then post.

The answer is Bruce Lee. Look at that man. He had plenty of both. It's like he figured out how to compress giant muscles like if they were coals being turned into diamonds.
