Finally ill be able to squat, ordered my adi power lifts.
Also, what shoes do you wear to gym?
This shoes are a meme unless you are lifting 3+ plates
I am going to sell mine asap
I wear my running shoes. I squat, OHP, and deadlift barefoot.

I don't even squat, you fucking autistic faggot
Why you don't lift for women thread
Backstory: go out with grill. Great time. Hook up. 8/10 face 10/10 body. Set up second date and she flakes multiple times for various reasons. Being sick etc.
Sunday she texts me
>I'm free Saturday! At the very least you should come out for my bday Thursday! We're going to homebar!
>I have test Friday but it's ez so why not
>Be me today
>Finalize plans for Saturday's date
>"y'all are still going to homebar tonight right? What time?"
>she says 11:30
>Show up at midnight. No sign of her
>Text her. No response
>Wait a while and call. Rings a few times and jumps to voicemail early
>Check snapchat. She's at a different bar posing with some dude
>Get drunk at random bar alone
I'm gonna destroy squats tomorrow. We're all gonna make it. As long as you don't lift for women bc they're all whores.
The red flag was up she flaked multiple times.
>>36969637
They left at 11:59 brah
>>36969679
That would have been an immediate sign to me if she wasn't so god damn enthusiastic when trying to set up the dates. She would initiate texting and making the plans etc.
Can do about 3-5 pull ups with arms at about 160 degree elbow bend, but if i start pull up in complete elbow lock dead hang, i cant get halfway up. But that brings me a few questions:
1.) How do I get accustomed to dead hang pull ups? More negatives?
2.) How can i go from dead hang to halfway up and get failure, but if i start from slight elbow bend i can get over bar?
3.) Is it a lack of familiarity with muscle chain?
Also, slightly unrelated, My pull up bar is not level due to shitty construction of my apartment, i try and do half facing each way assuming that it would compensate workload taken off each arm.
Thanks for any input!
Tldr; cant go from dead hang to over bar, but can go from slightly bent elbow to over bar consecutively, wut do?
1. reduce body weight
2. do more negative pullups
3. do chinups more
4. do lat pulldowns more
5. do 1 neck rope hang till failure
>>36969316
Odds are that you lack strength out of the bottom and as a result are doing something to get the movement started that is fucking your position once you get a bit higher up. Or just not going into your midpoint with as much momentum to help you get past the hard part there.
do kipping pullups

Why are back days so fucking boring?
back and biceps is my 2nd favorite behind chest/tri shoulders and both are fun desu
i like back just cause i don't need a spotter for bench
>>36968821
OHP isn't fun?
Do some cleans or something you sally-ass faggot.
>>36968855
>OHP
>back day
>>36968829
>chest/tris shoulders in 1 day
do i have gyno?
No, just high estrogen. Making you store more fat in your gyno.
>>36968608
We can't be sure unless we see a pic of your butt.

Is it better to do quick crunches or ones that are slower? Which one gives me a better ab workout?
quick crunches burn more belly fat
>>36968579
This. Great for toning.
Slow crunches helps you focus on getting blood into the abdomens and burn the fat off
What is this? I don't work out often but my new apartment has a 24/7 gym and in it is this thing. How does one use it and what is it called?
u use it as a comfy seat when ur not lifting
that's a bunsen bell, gymnasts use it to do a backflip
bosu ball
meant for meme tier balance training
youll probably see some 50 year old guy doing squats, overhead, or curls on it
again i have failed
i really need some encouragement right now.
>go on no fap
>fail on the 2nd day, just now.
do i have a problem? can i even make it?
>nofap
why
>>36968238
just take sleeping meds every time you want to fap. you will knock out before you can touch your dick.
Oh you poor soul using your dick as nature intended
why are there diets like "low-carb diets" that people seem to love? what's up with the difference in diets, if a calorie is a calorie?
http://diet.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Ketosis_Symptoms
is it just personal taste leading to more long-term success?
I follow a low carb diet plan - not because I'm interested in ketosis, but because as far as I understand, carbohydrates and the complex sugars they are made of don't give your gut the proper amount/type of nutrition necessary to maintain a healthy digestive system.
Captcha: select all bananas.
I believe it is actually very beneficial to certain people who have a sensitivity to insulin.
You also just seem to lose weight faster on the scale because you're body doesn't hold onto extra water from the carbs, so people like that. I personally find it easier to fight my hunger on a diet with few carbs.
high levels of carbs don't agree with my body. I'm also allergic to gluten and cured my severe eczema by stopping eating it
honestly I wish I could eat carbs without problems but I'm better off not

It's funny, I can do a lot of this stuff pretty good and do a good amount of it as my core exercise (like, for my core, not as the core of my resistance work) but I can't for the fucking life of me do a planche. It's actually pretty annoying.
I can. Took me three months of ass-busting training.
Variable resistance bands placed over your feet will provide the best method of progression.

hi guys. i'm tall. when i OHP the same weight as someone short am i stronger because i have to lift the weight higher off the ground.
thanks guys love you
it is harder for you, but you aren't stronger
Yes. Same philosophy applies to bench, deadlift, etc.
Taller people lifting the same weight as little people = Taller person is stronger because he has to cover more distance
>>36967839
if it's harder how am i not stronger. there is more gravity pulling the weight to the ground when higher = more weight?
Just bought this shit. Why is it so fucking hard to use it bro? Is the double wheel ver. easier to use?
It's hard to use because you have a weak core and probably weak grip and weak shoulders. Try doing it on your knees with the wheel slightly elevated, or just do easier core work until you can handle it.
any good guides on how to use it?
i have no idea what i'm doing. i can bend forward and back pretty easily

I'm new to oatmeal what type does fit recommend and how to make taste good?
I use rolled oats. Add a scoop of whey and 1tbp of peanut butter.
Publix if you are in the SE, Quaker otherwise.
Tablespoon of maple syrup and butter for every 2 cups, add frozen blueberries, raspberries or blackberries.
>eat everyday till you make it
>>36967601
If you're super calorie conscious/cutting, listen to guy above me and sub peanut butter and just add a little salt.
