I've been lifting for about 2 years now without any major dedication to getting big. (Not eating right or lifting heavy)
Im looking to start putting on mass but I have scoliosis and I'm finding it painful to do squats with anything over 80-ish lb and can't deadlift more than 1pl8 without feeling like I'm collapsing.
I am a hockey player and want to make sure my legs are growing with my upper body at a fair rate. What are my options /fit/? I feel so lost.
yoga and foam rolling
>whining
Your only option now is to kys you cunt.
proper deadlifts will straighten your spine
Questions that don't deserve their own thread
>>37282417
I have obvious abdominal muscles, likely more so than that of an average person WITH visible abs, however, mine don't show. I know this is because of my body fat %, which is 16-17%. Obviously, I need to cut. However, when I attempt to cut I can never get past 15% really without losing a shit ton of energy that prevents me from doing other things in my life (work, sporting events, etc.). I cut to 14% about 3 months ago, but go mono and was fatigued af for 3 weeks.
My question is; how can I cut to the ideal 10-12% bf so my abs show WITHOUT starving myself and losing my energy? I do to cardio, a shit ton of it ... but maybe I am doing something wrong? I'll list my meals and workouts in the next post.
Also, when I take my shirt off I have a good build from working out/labor stuff, but it doesn't necessarily look like I really lift. However, with a shirt on, I've been told I look like I lift more than my friends (I'm 6'2"). Is cutting a good way to actually look like you lift with yoru shirt off? when I flex, it looks like I lift and I can even see some ab definition in the top and general area of my stomach .. however, like I already said, my true abs are covered in fat.. I can do all the ab exercises in the world and still never see them unless I successfully cut.
Is it true that getting smaller (CUTTING) will actually make you look BIGGER?
>>37282453
Nice blog faggot. I bet your cardio is like your writing. Long, boring and inefficient. Sprint more, jog less.
how much should you be able to dumbbell bench compared to barbell bench? Ive never done dumbbell bench and im shaky atm but whats a good percentage to shoot for?
why is everybody so obsessed with butts and female body generally? not only does this obsession make you look like primitive degenerates but it is also one of the main causes of female narcissism
>>37281767
Because biology
>>37281767
Well there is the fact that I'm sexually attracted to them
>>37281767
i rarely say this and actually mean it... but guys, op might be a faggot
Is it possible to lift and do a hard labor job like construction?
>>37279926
no, it's impossible. no human being has ever done it. delete your thread now
>>37279926
yes
As long as you eat enough then yes, now fuck off and read the sticky
Will a ketogenic diet kill stage 4 cancer? My dad has stage 4 nasopharyngeal cancer, taking radiation and chemo soon, but I wanna know how effective diet is to this whole ordeal.
Please respond, thanks.
>>37276337
it "might" help at best if he has a less healthy diet
That looks fucking delicious Jesus Christ senpai I need that meat in me
>>37276354
Ok. I was always under the impression that eating a lot of meat and dairy is one of the causes of cancer though. But the doctors are recommending a high-protein, low-carb diet for him, part of which INCLUDES animal protein (beef, chicken, eggs, milk) etc... So I don't understand.
are there any studies/theories on whether being obese for a period of your life and then losing the weight (and maintaining that weight loss) will still take years off your life?

>>37272186
anon why lift so casually at the beginning? If you are lazy and/or don't like lifting you're suppposed ro start out hard and slowly taper off to casual lifting
>>37272186
that pic does not look like 2 years of lifting.
>That guy who does OHP in the squat rack
>>37284201
oh fuck off, a power rack is a power rack. Its meant to be used for multiple exercises.
>>37284201
I figured your dumbass wasn't going to use it anyways.
>>37284201
>that guy doing seated squats in the seated squat rack
Would lifting turned his life around, /fit/?

that's irrelevant
he's asian. you cant lift to make your dick bigger than 3 inches. asian guys are literally walking "im good at math/my dick is tiny" billboards.
Serious question: Why does everyone seem to think/imply that pizza has terrible macros?
It seems to easily fit my macros pretty easily during a bulk, especially when topped with grilled chicken.
Example: today my lunch was two large slices of cheese pizza topped with buffalo grilled chicken.
Meal was 800 kcal, 90g carbs 28g fat 46g protein
Is the pizza hate just a meme or should I be avoiding pizza even though I can hit my macros?
Pic related
pizza is fine on a bulk in moderation. Depending on where you get it from, it can be super greasy or extremely high in sodium so thats why people hate on it. On a cut, its too calorie dense and not enough protein per calorie to really justify it.

>falling for the bulk/cut meme
CHAD eats PIZZA all year round and makes GAINS while staying ~10% BF

Best way to approach guy at gym?
What is a natural non-fuckup way to flirt with a guy/girl at the gym?
I'm a complete ass when it comes to approach in this kind of setting and need a play-by-play that a drunk toddler can understand. Headphones? Smile? Eye contact? Long con or just go for it?
>>37278040
Leave people alone at the gym
>>37278040
OP are you female?
>>37278058
o-okay
>see the pathetic advice for getting girls on this board
>"Go to salsa dancing!!!"
>going to interest clubs you have no interest in to dodge the middle aged women and conapicuously lech over the 2 attractive women out of 30 is a viable strategy
>Online dating
>Even tinder is 60 % men
Face it, if you're not going on nights out with the bros then YOURE FUCKED.
>inb4 women at work
If you work anywhere other than the media or fashion and there's a significant number of women who work with you, you're a failure.
Yep pretty much actually, the first 2 are retarded ideas tinder isnt so bad haha
get a hobby loser
People try to overcomicate getting women because they don't really want to admit that it comes down to one thing you can't control.
Looks.
You either have them or you don't. If you don't you're fucked and there's nothing you can do about it except accept the fact that your sex life will be mediocre at best.
Besides the type of men that get women are the ones that don't obsess over it 24/7. They sense that desperation.

Probably 2x a week for some general high rep, low weight fluff. IMHO.
Not bodybuilder high rep, but 3x12 e.t.c
It might not make a big difference, definitely see a foot doctor.
