Should I do it guys or do I continue to disregard women and acquire aesthetics?
You should buy a chastity cage for your peenor & give her the key. Tell she gets to decide if & when you get to cum.
Do it. Have someone to lift for. Become the man beast and make her sopping wet the first time she sees you shirtless
>>37079774
Sounds like bad news. Disregard
Is there any reason not to do 5x5 on accessories as well?
>>37079732
some accessories respond better to higher volume
>>37079732
A lot of isolations don't respond well to low reps. Also 5x5 is overall more stressful than 3x8 so you're more likely to run into recovery issues.
>>37079732
I've always done 3x10 or 3x15 depending on what I'm doing. But 5x5 is fine I just that because I'm a gymnast and have different goals most.

>My father is a very successful man, local politician, well known and liked in the community.
>He was pretty swole too back in the day too.
>I'm his only child, his pride and joy.
>Saw me as much as he could after the divorce.
>When I was young he was able to carry me around like I didn't weigh anything.
>I thought he was the strongest guy around.
>I wasn't like him though. I was always shy and bad at sports.
>Dad always tried to get me to be a more outgoing and athletic person.
>Instead I spent most of my teenage years playing vidya in the basement.
>He still always said he was proud of me.
>When I was about 14 he started to develop a drinking problem.
>By the time I moved away for college his alcoholism was starting to impact his professional life.
>Meanwhile at college I picked up a new sport and stuck with it.
>I gradually became more serious about fitness to cross train for my sport.
>Went from 5'11" 115lb as a freshman to 5'11" 160lb as a senior.
>He lived pretty close to my University, so I would come visit every month or so.
>Every time I came home he's in worse shape than the last time I saw him.
>He would always drunkenly remark how happy he was that I was getting /fit/ though.
>"T-thanks dad."
>Eventually I graduate and move 5 hours away to start my career.
>Can't come to visit as often, but still talk on the phone every week or two for 2-3 minutes at a time.
>"I miss ya, bud".
>He sounds worse each time we talk.
>His drinking habit has cost him nearly everything over the past decade. Now his health is deteriorating quickly.

>One day I get a phone call. He has come to his senses.
>He will agree to go to a doctor, but only if I take him.
>Drive all the way home to find my father collapsed on the ground, convulsing, coughing up blood, a shell of a man.
>My training has prepared me for this moment.
>I cradle my father, deadlift him, and carry him out of the house. Something I never would have been able to do 6 years ago when I left.
>Probably still the most physically demanding thing I've ever done.
>He changes his mind, doesn't want to go to the doctor now.
>My father is crying in my arms.
>"I'm not going, I'm not going."

>I couldn't get him help in time.
I hope I made you proud, dad.

Heart breaking story bro. You're doing good.
>father is 58
>did a barbell squat the first time in his life last week
He's gonna make it, brehs.
>You hit the gym the hard and maintain a strict diet

>>37078961
Might as well just kill yourself OP
it's all good chief

I lifted on Friday and had a rest day on Saturday. Should I lift today even though I still have DOMS from two days ago?
>>37078774
I just lift 3 days a week
>>37078801
Well, yeah, that's what I mean. I tend to lift every other day so it works out to 3.5 days per week on average. I guess to rephrase my question better, I'm asking whether I can lift with DOMS without risking fucking myself up.
Yeah. It'll go away as you lift.
My son and I want to get fit. He's recently lost a lot of weight, and I have been thin my entire life. I've lost my job, and I'm depressed. It's time to change that.

I can't currently afford to start paying out the ass for a couple gym memberships, as I'm out of a job. All I have is the neighborhood gym. All that gym has is machines, probably for insurance reasons.
What machines can be substituted for normal lifts? I know that free weights are worse because they don't make you stabilize it yourself.
pic related, looks like my physique.
>>37078771
>free weights are worse
I meant that machines are worse
>>37078771
honestly just get a job and pay for an actual gym membership to support your son and his future and make sure he eats alot
You can get a really good workout at places like planet fitness. Goodluck
>trap DOMS from heavy fucking farmers walks
Bliss
Your favourite DOMS?
none? doms fucking sucks
on farmers walks, how long should you walk with the weight for?
>>37078696
Comfy setup
I drink around 4-6 cans of diet soda a day
Pic related is currently my favourite
Aside from the caffeine and strengthening one's hook on sweet stuff, is this stuff really bad for me? Is there any credible evidence?
bumperoo
>>37078622
Probably not but I imagine its hell on your teeth.
>>37078622
i dont have the studies on hand but you'd need to drink 4+ Liters of diet drinks a day for it to be considered "not safe".
so you should be fine drinking it, the only thing i would worry about is how the carbonation/acid from the soda would mess with your teeth
Why is HEIGHT FACE FRAME even a meme?
It's common sense that people only care about looks. The human race is shallow as fuck, deal with it you fucking autists.
>>37078565
But if height = looks, then muscle mass = looks.
>>37078565
4chan is a hive-mind of young adults who have overly simplistic world views. You read something here that resonates with you so you spout it.
It's really not that fucking simple
I'm a 6'7" Chad desu
