What does /fit/ think of the health guidelines of ancient Jewish philosopher and doctor, Maimonides?

It's just some watered down version if what the Greeks and Euros recommended.

What does it mean when the tailbone area is hurting. It was feeling funny since I tried squatting last week, but I kicked it into 'oh-fuck' overdrive doing deadlift today. I can squat 250 for 10+ reps, but generally avoid squatting because it makes my back feel funny occasionally. Can someone post more diagrams so I can figure out what muscles are funked up?
Oh, I think the reason it started feeling weird last week is because it tried a padded, over-the-counter type squat bar. I pulled 315 for 5 today, which I normally do once a week, but my low-back tailbone area is upset.

You probably got raped and are repressing the memories. Happens to most newby twinks when they come to a real man's gym
>>42505196

I've been doing IIFYM but concerned about getting enough protein.
>205 lbs, 25% bf and shooting for 170 grams of protein a day.
Is it enough?
>>42504893
more would be better than that whilst cutting so if you CAN get more then do, but it's not an enormous deal, g/lb LBM's still decent
>>42504922
Nice thanks for the advice. Yeah I try to hit at least that and may go over which is ok. I just can't lower my fat and carb intake (to have a higher protein intake) as I lose too much energy and am starving all the time.
Which is better overall? How would switching squats for box squats to legal depth affect my training?
>>42504870
Today was my second day back to the gym after hurting my knee while squatting. I watched athleanx's video on knee tendonitis and doing box squats to fix it. I have to use a bench to box squat and I'm not hitting parallel because of it but it's better for my knee right now. Do you want to do box squats because of an injury or because you just want to? Either way no one is stopping you and you can switch between the 2 and see how it affects your training.
Do both. Maybe like 2 weeks regular and 2 weeks box
>Chest gap
>Barrel chested
Ok, wich do you think is worse /fit/? Now imagine having both, that would be a nightmare right?
>Mfw I have both
My chest wasnt meant to look good now was it?
>>42504718
At least you don't have gyno
>>42504718
I don't know, barrel chest looks normal to my eyes, and with a gap in yours, can we just see it and judge anon? I'm interested.
What is the perfect diet performance wise? When I eat a balanced diet I feel energetic but heavy, but when I lean towards a more vegetarian lifestyle I feel energetic and light at the same time but only for a short period of time. I don't care about health problems when I'm old as long as I can make it now. So, since the epic discussion between Vegans/Vegetarians and Meat eaters is endless. What do you recommend?
>>42504266
Forgot to say that I don't care about gains that much but more about how it feels. I hate feeling bloated and having long digestion
i recommend fast food + drugs

What's the verdict on ankle/wrist weights? I know jogging with ankle weights is a big nono because it can cause damage to muscles and ligaments over time, but wrist weights are very common in boxing exercises and other martial arts as well. Jogging with wrist weights while stretching your arms burns an astronomical amount of calories.
Share your experience and bro-science research
They kinda work, though they don't give you progressive overload unless you regularly increase the weight. Plus generally the direction of force is wrong, e.g. punching with wrist weights adds force downward, not towards you like you'd want for more powerful punches.
also ankle weights are stupid, your knee/hip joints were not designed for tension (ie pulling-apart forces), only for compressive (pushing-together) forces

>punching with wrist weights adds force downward, not towards you like you'd want for more powerful punches.
So you're saying you shouldn't do straights but uppercuts instead? I've seen guys shadowboxing with 20lb dumbbells doing punches in all directions.
>>42504306
They also provide resistance in the direction you're punching as you require more force to move a greater mass

like dude there's literally a billion pictures of hot girls on the internet, why do people still take creepshots?? why do 3d irl women still have so much power over some men?
>>42504254
Its the risky factor that makes it hot
The fact that they could turn around and see you makes it hot i guess
>>42504254
Women do it too though.

No. The (((Weiders))) knew what they were doing and laughed all the way to the bank.
Now how can I get started with this thing? I want to build a six pack and can only hula for five minutes max before taking a half hour break. I really want to get big and strong but my hoop and ring spin skills are generally lacking. I feel a pain in my lower back when I do reverse spins.
>>42503905
Keep practicing. Your endurance should improve. Hooping is no good for mass it strength though.
Always wondered but too fucking lazy to get a professional to examine my genetics and do my blood work. how can us normies tell if we are low or high test? What can i look for as an indicator?
