Don't worry anon, I literally did the same thing. Tried to follow SS but used the Smith machine for all my lifts. Everyone's gotta start somewhere.

It's common knowledge that Greg O'Gallegay is on steroids.
Just something I've discovered - for the best pectoral activation in most situations, focus on the motion of bringing your elbows together.It is always good to visualize what motion your individual muscles actually create. Pic related - I'm on vacation right now, without access to weights, but I did 4x15 close-(grip?) pushups with this emphasis on swinging your elbows and got an insane pump before this photo. Mind-muscle connection is so important, feel that squeeze.
Any tips for activating shoulder blades? I got in a small accident which threw one of my shoulders back a bit, after the pain stopped I feel like I can no longer get an even lift
>>37933597
Damn bro you natty? Mirin
>>37933597
I also apply this idea of bringing my elbows together for exercises like incline dumbell press, barbell bench press, and cable flys. It increases both my strength and overall muscle activation (pump), as they are often intrinsically related in isolation exercises.
>>37933616
shoulder blades are bones and cannot be activated, if you've injured yourself you should see a doctor

where do i get anabolic steroids
start upping your post count in openly roiding bb forums. they always have a section from where they source meds for their dogs/cats.
>>37933349
they already banned me for asking the same thing
>>37933381
there's a subreddit full of homebrewers peddling their stuff. i'm not sure you want to take those kind of risks tho.

Aww look at his floppy little cripple legs :^)
Does cripple olympics use weight classes? Wouldn't that give this guy an edge over a dude who has normal sized useless legs?
All I'm seeing is a manlet whom I could beat in fight in a heartbeat
Daily reminder that fapping MORE increases sex drive and testosterone.
but i feel tired after i fap.
very little desire to lift after
Try not wanking for a month before listening to this shill.
>>37933210
longest i've gone is about 1.5 weeks.
how'd you feel after 1 month?
Okay /fit/ I know you like to talk a lot about manlets this, lanklets that. So I've got a story for you.
>Be 5'10, start going to gym, about 1 month in, a friend, 6'4, classic lanklet joins me for a couple of sessions.
>We do deadlifts one day, I lift 176lbs or so. My lanky friend tries it, just can't do it, struggles really hard, but can't lift it.
>He starts asking how the fuck I do it, just tell him I guess I'm stronger.
>He just start saying how that's probably not true since he's taller, has done more athletic stuff in his life than me, bla bla. I don't really give a shit.
>He won't go with me to the gym after that.
Fast forward to now, about 3 months later.
>Doing bench press, next to me, a guy, 5'8 maybe does deadlifts.Deadlifting guy asks another guy, who's doing deadlifts next to him, he's maybe 6'3 tall, if he can help him watch his form. Tall guy agrees.
>Tall guy says he's doing well, says something else I can't hear, tall guy wants to show shorter guy something, can't lift the shorter guy's weights.
>Tall guy starts throwing a hissy fit. "Look, you're gonna break your knees and back lifting this, I'm bigger than you and I can't budge this, quit now, okay? Just quit, lower the weights, seriously. Don't deadlift for a while dude, just go.
>Shorter guy's just like "uuh, no.."
I thought it was us manlets that were insecure bitches. Anyone else has stories like these? Don't matter if it's the short or tall guys throwing tantrums.
My gymbro is a 6'4 lanklet and I'm 5'10", fun coincidence.
He struggled hard with deadlifts, and had some trouble with bench. His lower bench numbers are mainly just a factor of how insanely long his arms are, longer distance when he does full ROM. His deadlifts are a serious issue, though. He either places the bar in front if his foot, or waaaaay too far back. Last Saturday we got him to try doing it like the rest of us, halfway across his feet, and his form improved big time but he still said it doesn't feel safe. I dunno dude, tall people are weird mutants. They either estat, say they're stronger anyways, or accept their bodies are weird.
>>37933123
Yeah, no doubt deadlifts and squats and stuff is harder if you're really tall. It's just funny how some tall guys can't accept they're weaker than a short guy.
Maybe I should ask my buddy to try deadlifts the way you advised though.
>>37933123
>>37933157
Tell them to do McKenzie exercises before squats or deadlifts or else back pain will ensue
In this thread, we advise each other on what to get.

This pic is what I want, but I can't find a rack like this anywhere. I'm in Switzerland, westside.
The best I can find is pic related. It's good, but I don't have much space in my apartment, the smaller one would be better.
So pic related is what I look like
And in this video is my goal.

I want to become an athlete and extroverted cunt like Josh in the video.
Please tell me how.
Cut your hair, gain weight, stop being autismo
Have a brain transplant into his body, that will literally be the only way sorry.

>tfw chads (or josh in this case) can get away with arguably autistic behaviour
I would cringe irl. Is this what is considered making it? Just being a self centered attention seeking (and he gets attention) retard? All of this woo look at me !!! ;) behaviour is just... If he didnt look good he would be a laughingstock.
>inb4 mad and jealous
Yea legit, i wish i wouldnt be slandered for my autistic behaviour

Fit?
Hey /fit/. How often to do do that exercise where you suck in your belly and suck up your anus?
How's that going for you?
They're called vacuums.
Daily. I usually do 3 sets while in the shower.
/fit/, how do you train my jaw to look like this?
