How necessary are back squats if one does front squats coupled with deadlifts, and GHR/back extensions to hit the posterior chain?
I'm talking in terms of aesthetics and overall balance
You can't do a front squats thats heavier than a back squat. Also. Back squats works your lower back alot more. Better definition and thickness i guess.

Stop hiding from your duty.
Hiya /fit/ I'm going to build a squat rack today. Any good designs you have seen? Ease of assembly and not leading to my death would be ideal.
>not leading to my death would be ideal
I'm afraid no such thing exists
>>37431316
I would feel safer with one or two band clamps near the top.
>>37431316
Seems like a problem with those would be that there's not enough weight on the bottom.
I have pic related and they're hard to tip over if you have weight loaded on the bottom (they'll wobble a bit but not tip over... hasn't been an issue.)
I skipped my workout today, because i had an exam and i slept for one hour last night. Will i lose all my gains? Help me brehs

During exams take a week off, it won't kill your gains and in fact might help recovery.
Just found this article this morning. All right, who was the one in the interview? Also, what does /fit/ think about this?

Do you guys shave your legs? Is it too gay?
I mean, I kinda wanted to see my leg gains without hairs all over it.
>>37430976
then shave your legs, if you dont like it or it feels homo, dont shave them again.
>>37430976
>le only gay people shave their legz XD
I'm a fag and most of my friends are fags and none of us shave our legs.
Just shave them if you want to and stop being a little bitch about it.
>Is it too gay
Just about right for you har har har
Seriously though, try it, if it doesn't look good just wear pants for a few weeks. And consider doing a full body shave, if you are going to, just legs would be weird af
Cutting:
>hungry all the time
>weak and always getting weaker
>tired all day every day
>recovery time sucks
Bulking:
>stronk and getting stronker
>never tired
>always full
>never really out of energy and could do a whole workout after finishing the last
So /fit/ why do skellies think bulking is hard to?
>inb4 hurr fatboi
fast metabolism.
no money.
Small stomach.
disease.
Force feeding yourself the same old stale shit is not fun.
You're not going to have to keep throw up down your throat daily when cutting.
Cutting:
>not having to spend extra time on cooking and cleaning
>eating is boring anyway
>I don't feel hungry so whatever
Bulking:
>stomachpains all the time
>nauseated and always sweating
>afraid that moving around will lead to vomiting
because skellies are not used to eating and that shit takes time getting used to.
>tfw there's no exercise to get rid of keloids.

Does anyone else use the Landmine Press?
Recently I messed up my rotator cuff and have been using this as an alternative. It not only works my deltoids but also works my chest, and my core and legs if I squat down a bit.
>>37430748
Google "fuck your elbow"
Pretend he's saying rotator cuff (which doesn't even exist btw)
Then go do some bench
>>37430766
>Rotator cuff
>doesn't exist
wut?
>>37430766
pretty stupid desu
if an exercise becomes detrimental because youre hurt in some way i think theres damn good motivation to temporarily replace it, not keep hurting yourself because >muh motivational video
How do you stop staring at yourself in the mirror.
You don't

I like to masturbate to videos I've made of myself masturbating.
Some call me vain, but I don't see why I should settle.

Does this finally prove that equipment, dieting, routines, supplements etc. are all just a meme?

ALL Suppe except creatine have always been a meme. You don't need protein powders, BCAAs or god forbid the biggest meme on the planet, pre workout supps.
just eat and train intelligently, or you're not gonna make it (past 50 with a healthy body)
Have any of you guys tried using fenugreek and have you noticed any results at all?
I hate the maple syrup burps but damn I have been having a shit ton of wet dreams bretty nice side effect I think.
What about you brehs have any of you tried this stuff?
its supposed to boost test and help control blood sugar
I just took an Herbal Supplements and Functional foods course at college taught by a world leader on pomegranate and other natural products. I learned that Fenugreek in particar has compounds called phytosterols, which mimic or agonize with natural steroids and hormones. After reviewing multiple studies in pharmacognosy, I drew the conclusion that it was most promisingly correlated to treating BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) but there were a few studies that showed men taking a supplement of many herbs (including fenugreek) and put on a weight loss regiment lost slightly more weight while maintaining more lean muscle mass. Its certainly not a test booster, if anything more of a hormone agonist. I hope this was helpful.

>>37430243
Also, if you are going to be taking herbal supplements, I suggest you review clinical studies and make sure the product you select is Standardized to the same clinical trial (ex. It may say something like "standardized to 88-94% phytosterols" or "278mg of concentrated dry berry extract". Make sure you check the contraindications, such as "do not take while undergoing hormone replacement therapy or treatment"
I did it for 4 weeks, then a 4 week break, then another 4 weeeks, on advice from some guy on a dodgy drug forum. Didnt notice anything so i stopped taking it. This was about a year ago before i was lifting heavy though. I still have a bottle, i reckon I'll start again because why not.
Thoughts on this?

You can just exercise more to burn more fat.
I mean, even if this shit does work, you can just do 10 more minutes of cardio instead of taking a scoop of whatever this is.
I'm 6'0" 70kg skellyfat, how do I recomp to ottermode?
I'd just bulk but I've got bad gyno and I just want to look good at the moment. So I'll save that for when I'm a bit older and have money for surgery
If you're skinnyfat at 70kg and you're 6ยด0 you're definetely lying about your height. Manlet warning.

Sure thing, tubby.
Bodyweight exercises are considered to be vile faggotry on this board. A guy posted in a CBT yesterday about his progress, with calisthenics only - he didn't look bad, yet he got torn a new asshole for being a "bodiweitfag".
Why do you guys feel this way? Isn't a good bodyweight routine a way to obtain functional strength and look decent?
>functional strength

>>37429859
>Isn't a good bodyweight routine a way to obtain functional strength and look decent?
Yes, it is.
People here don't give a shit about being actually fit. They just want to have bloated, dysfunctional bodies because that's what the neighborhood whores think is hot.
>>37429859
People who do calisthenics are like vegans
if they wouldn't mention it at every opportunity nobody would bother them.
