I have read the sticky, however I need a book that will educate me, in depth, on fitness - meaning that I don't want to just know exercises, wanna learn about the whole thing - exercise, food, nutrition, mentality, etc.

I did a Google search, and went on BodyBuilding.com's forum, where they had a similar topic, and 90% of the users were recommending Arnold's Bodybuilding Encyclopedia (the 1999 edited and updated version), but some people were saying that the exercise regimes in it were ridiculous - way too many sets and reps, and 2-3 hour long training days.

Is Arnold's Bodybuilding Encyclopedia a good choice, or should I look for another book?

That book isn't particularly good.

Here are some excellent suggestions, ranging from easiest to understand to hardest.

The Art of Lifting & The Science of Lifting by Greg Nuckols and Omar Isuf.

The Muscle and Strength Training Pyramid by Eric Helms. There's also a nutrition version.

Scientific Principles of Strength Training by Mike Israetel, James Hoffman, and Chad Wesley Smith
>>
>>37381407
Mad props, bro!

So, if "The Art of Lifting & Science of Lifting" is the easiest to understand, does it understand nutrition, and some basics of how the body works, or is it just about exercises?
>>
>>37381202
I might get flak for this, but read both starting strength and practical programming. There is a lack of diet info in it but in terms of programming your lifting is absolutely essential

Does doing cardio matter if i'm already on a 500-700 calorie deficit?

30min daily cardio over the course of a 10 week cut will give an additional 2 pounds or fat loss.

I've got down to 8% while still consuming 65-70g/day and it become a struggle.

30g would probably be impossible for me.

Right now I just began cutting and I average 100g fat a day and feel comfy and slowly dropping BF

When will it stop by?
Also what angle should your back be when doing barbell rows and deadlift?

It won't stop. Spent 5 years with my ex. It's been a year and the pain is if anything, more constant and sharp than it was a year ago.

Time does not heal wounds, that is a delusion, time only serves to allow you to reflect on your pain, to purify and clarify it into something eternal.
>>
Yall fuckers wanna look like alphas but act like betas.

Depends on proportions bro, figure out if you have long legs, torso arms etc.
>>
your back should be straight at around a 65 degree angle for deadlifts for rows(im assuming you mean Pendlay Rows) I'd say around 45 degrees

Can someone share some infographics on how to properly do lifts, something I can just print off and take with me to the gym?

I remember someone posted some in a thread, i can't seem to find the exact ones anymore.

it's called starting strength 3rd edition. if you think you can learn the main compounds from infographics then you're heading straight to snap city. (not really, but there's no way you can learn them properly that way)

Watch this webm repeatedly before deadlifting, save it to your phone and watch it in between sets

literally perfect conventional 1rm form

I watch videos and I've read up on proper form, I just want a sort of a form 'checklist' for when I'm actually at the gym, to make sure I'm doing it right.

Hello /fit/,

I've been been on a Full Body workout program for months now.
I notice that doing Full Body is becoming too big of a stressor on me and that my later exercises suffer in the routine.

I am looking to transition in a 4 day a week routine.
I wish to continue my bulk for a few more months on an upper / lower routine.

I looked into the sticky but it doesn't have a recommended upper lower routine.

Anyone got a program they recommend that incorporates the deadlift, squatt and bench press? Did you have succes with it?

Thanks in advance.

Just get on brosplit now that you've built your strength base and save yourself the wasted time with all these "science" based routines.
>>
>>37380172
Do Candito's 6 week program. It has all you're asking for: 4-5 day a week, upper lower split and focused on DL, squat and bench.

I PR'ed my weak as shit deadlift today.

Spend some time playing video games like rock band or try to learn an instrument, I never played sports but my hand-eye coordination is on point just from vidya. Other than that practice practice practice.

you can always improve by working hard, but you're right, you'll never compete with people who train from child. does it matter, though? when you play sport as an adult you're not doing it to become a world champion. it's just a social thing.

Put the hours in an you'll develop muscle memory and coordination

/fit/ my gym "partners" are nowhere near as consistent as I am. One is just one of those "oh this weekend i'll start" and the other says he can't lift cause he does boxing. Any suggestions? What should I tell my plebs for friends to get them to stop being faggots and lift already?

Don't bother. Lifting without them would be less hassle anyways.

>>37379720
YOU cant force them to lift unfortunately. Just let them tag along. Lift like you normally do and be happy that you have training partners few times a week with you. Best days to have em are chest and arms day anyways..
