How many years of bulking until I can cut to look similar to this?
Impossible natty
like 4 days because he looks like shit
>>37995448
Oh right, I forgot you have to have steroid delts bigger than your head for /fit/ to jack off to you.
Big Mike deadlifted 420 pounds when he was 18.. after just starting lifting.
How do I achieve a strong jawline? I have a weak jawline
skelly
>>37995277
Tren and stop being a mouth-breather
>inb4mewltards
Well one thing, my weak jawline is just a pet peeve. I hate the way I look and I want a stronger,chiseled jaw. I'm just afraid my girlfriend notices my weak jaw.
I didn't see one already going; so nootropic general?
What are your thoughts on nicotine as a nootropic? In gum, patches, or another non-tobacco form of course.
I'm heading out right now to pick some gum up, I'm planning on using it as a late evening stimulant that won't disrupt my sleep too much, given its short half life; is that a good idea?
I also drink alcohol or take opioids once or twice a week, and take xanax occasionally. I can't find anything concrete on how pure nicotine will react with those.
>your thoughts on nicotine as a nootropic
gwern has written pretty much all there is to read about it on his website.
/r/nootropics is pretty much as good as it gets online. if you want more information about noots, then that's the place to go.
nicotine is awesome.
it just sucks that it's insanely addictive.
if vaping weren't a fucking meme-fest i'd take it up to feel that sweetspot of productivity again.
>>37995224
Yeah I've been there and read all up on it, I guess I was more so just asking for advice on the good evening stimulating bit.
Does anyone have any tips on getting rid of that small pooch of fat in the lower ab area?
I have cut a good amount of fat but cant seem to get rid of that small pooch. If i eat at even more of a deficit i feel like I will severely start eating away at muscle mass...i already feel small as fuck with the cal count im eating now.
Im 5'10 173lbs right now
>>37995085
Lose more weight, spot reduction isn't going to work.
Imagine your body fat as a balloon. You can't change the shape of it, you can only control how much air is in it.
God damn younger me for being fat.
If my lower pooch would just fucking flatten out I'd have my goal body.
I don't have loose skin, but I'm pretty sure that area IS my loose skin.
Hey /fit/, I started working out about 1 month ago and, while I know it's unreasonable to expect any significant gains in that time, I'm wondering if my routine is even effective. One of the guys at the gym gave it to me on the first day and I've been doing it every other day. Anything I should change?
Workout:
3x10 Leg Press 100lbs
3x10 Wide Lat Pull-Downs 70lbs
3x10 Chest Press 25lbs each side
3x10 Goblet Squats 20lbs
3x10 Seated Cable Rows 70lbs
3x10 Leg Curls 50lbs
3x10 Tricep Rope Extensions 40lbs
3x10 Seated bicep curl 32.5lbs

>3x10 goblet squats 20lbs
the fuck? that's like not even the bar. read the sticky faggot

I shaved 3 minutes off of my 2 mile time in 18 days. Define gains.

>the night goes on and on and we continue to drink throughout
>somehow end in a position where I'm near his penis and he pokes it towards me
>gf says "suck it" and I stupidly do
>we continue to have sex and the night ends
I don't hear from my gf for a few days and get a test saying it's over. I freak out and ask her why she says "I only dated you because my gay friend wanted to have sex with you"
I didn't really have sex with him but I did suck his dick and rubbed his asshole
My friend pushed up 225 lbs. I told him the bar doesn't count so 180lbs. He is mad at me now.
What was his problem?
>>37994956
your friend must be a retard.
>>37994956
If you drop the empty barbell does it float?
That and "Do you count the bar?" have opposite answers.
Some people like to count the bar just to inflate their numbers.
I wouldn't worry about it seeming "weaker" than him just cause he benches "225" and you bench 180, just remember that people who count the bar are only cheating themselves
How important is it to get carbs prior top your workout? I do a 20-4 fasting schedule and don't eat until after my workout. Would I be better served getting a portion of my eating in prior to my workout or is it all the same regardless?
>carbs
>ever important for anything
lmao
carbs won't do fuck all for you unless you do a shit ton of cardio, eat a shit ton of carbs, and then do more cardio.
other than that, carbs are pointless and do nothing
>>37994631
It doesn't really matter. Any differences are pretty negligible.

What is the most efficient way to look like Arnold without ingesting steroids?
Impossible
You'd need tons of roids and god tier genetics like him
Have God-tier genetics
>>37994639
Damn. You're sure he used steroids? I genuinely have no clue. Google gave conflicting answers.
So, I was a fucking idiot and went to a liqueur tasting thing my apartment was hosting. It was at 6:30 PM, and it's now 8:17. I don't drink much, but I still feel it, and I didn't realize it but 4 shots fucked up my calorie intake for the day...
How long should I wait to try and work it off, or should I just go fuck it and do some extra stuff tomorrow?
How much did you go over by?
I wouldn't go with lifting, but cardio/HIIT is probably fine.
Alcohik calories are pretty much ready to burn.
>>37994704
Trying to keep it under 1500 whenever possible to try and lose weight. I did two hours of physical activity (I walk to work.) that equaled to around 1000 calories. My total food today was 3285, which isn't great, but I feel like the four shots were too much. So I wanna burn off around 700 before bed time.
>That guy who mouths song lyrics between sets
>>37994498
i listen to like 1-2 minute songs between sets to get myself pumped
usually a punk song fits the bill for being hype and being that short
>the awkward beta who got kinda jacked and now dances between sets weirdly attempting to be alpha
>>37994498
When im in between sets for pull downs and the beat is sweet i do a little sperg dance i don't give a fuck
hey guys, trust-fund neet here wondering what the BEST time to work out?
going for aesthetics gains here
early morn - late night, when should I lift?
thanks
>>37994481
2(two) hours after you wake up. Gives you enough time to get some food, caffeine, shit, etc.
Early in the morning only because the gym is empty and you can do your workout and get out without having to wait for equipment.
>>37994481
Tell your body you're going to work out in the morning, but then workout in the afternoon/evening.
This will confuse the muscle and shock it into growth.
Skelly-mode here. I wanna gain like 40-50 pounds in the next year. Post your favorite bulking foods.
>>37994435
>Attempting 40 to 50 pounds in 1 year
>not mostly being fat
>natty
Not happening.
>>37994435
oats, milk, avacados, various fruits, pasta
>>37994584
Nah I'm fine with it being mostly fat. Being a fat fuck with some muscle is better than being skinny.
>when pajeet raids the gym with his gang
>every equipment smells like hobos armpit
Why are indians such shitty people?
It's a mystery of the universe, lad

there is like 1 indian guy that goes to my gym and i feel bad that he isnt white like us
I started at the gym for the first time the other day. Yesterday was my second day and my friend really put me through it on arms. He's a body builder and has been doing this for a long time and he told me to expect pain the next day but this is crazy. My arms started failing me hours after I got back and got severely painful and I lost the ability to straighten them. Waking up today the pain is next to excruciating, I can't move them at anything faster than a slugs pace and have to fold them just right to not be in pain. Have I sustained a big injury or is my body still learning to cope? Also how can I better judge my limits?
>>37994388
you're literally fine
>>37994388
Wut r doms
