I was doing allot of atlas stone work and was very impressed with the way it was developing my back. Sadly my gym don't have stones anymore.
I want some form of heavy back work and I discovered the Zercher Deadlift which sort of looks like a stone or sandbag lift in the initial set up. Has anyone ever used these? They look like a great back developer but I have never done them. What are the benefits?
>>36932654
Looks awesome also would like to hear opinions.
>>36932654
they're GOAT
you can pull a lot more weight than a traditional DL
however, theres a bit of a 'hump' at the start of the lift, the key is to explode at the bottom, this will push you through
What about reverse deadlifts? Which muscle does it target?

How am i lying exactly ? I've been lifting a while just shit diet, i'm undefiend but averagely strong
So guys, what's up with sweeteners? Especially Stevia
Do you use any, /fit/?
Make it clear for me because the internet says all kinds of shit.
My family recently started to sell this, so we have infinite amount of it at home. I looked it up and found many ups and downs of it.
To admit it, I use it but only very rarely, when making protein pancakes for example
But my family fucking uses it every day for every single meal. They stopped drinking normal water for a month now and only drink stevia water because it's "detoxing". Bullshit.
I can show them any facts and studies and they won't believe me. They claim it's the best thing ever and they actually giving me shit for not doing this stupid Stevia detoxing with them.
I read somewhere that since your body thinks it will get sugar, it drops the blood sugar levels and glucose levels, then when it realizes that this shit is 0 calories, it has to build up the blood sugar and glucose, and by doing this it will destroy muscle and protein. Or some shit like that. That's why I'm scared of it.
>>36932569
I don't add sugar to my cereals or tea anymore. I think I'm better off without it.
>>36932569
Pic semi-related. This isn't the exact type my family is selling. But yeah.
And I can tell my family all I want that a sweetener's job is to replace sugar, not to put it into everything, but they don't believe me. Like, if you wanna use it instead of sugar in your morning coffee, go ahead. But not drinking normal water, just this shit the whole day, is definitely not healthy.
They also all managed to lose 1-2kg in a month. They keep telling me how good it is, but when I tell them that it doesn't show at all that they lost and that they are still fat, and only lost muscle, they ignore me. I can even prove it, because my brother also works out. He's trying to lose I'm trying to gain, but before he would do bicep curls with 15kg dumbbells, after a month of stevia only, no cardio, and losing 1.5kg, he can only curl with 12kg dumbbells, and he looks the same.
Having a stubborn fucking normie family sucks.
>>36932607
Same. If you want to lose weight or stay healthy, just stay away from sweet shit instead of try to find shortcuts like sweeteners.
I find that it's only good in protein cookies/pancakes, just one drop to take away the dull taste of oats.

So, my friend that is pretty much obsessed with gym, he wants to become a giant muscle guy, i don't. I just wanna get fit.
His program is :
Monday - Biceps, Pecs, Shoulders
Tuesday - Free (He doesn't do anything)
Wednesday - Legs
Thursday - Free (Nothing again)
Friday - Abs, Back and triceps
Saturday - Free
Sunday - Free
I really don't like his 1 day break after every gym day... He says you HAVE to do it, is he retarded? Or am i just wrong by going everyday at the gym??
>>36932535
>not working out 6-7 days a week
>making it
Pick one
Maybe the sticky gas something on this.
That being said my workout is 6 days a week with one rest day.
>>36932535
No you're better off having 2-3 days off
XXxXXXx usually works the best
I'm sick of trying to use chinups to build my lats so I'm switching to ROWS
Only problem is I'm not sure which variety of row to use.
Bent over row
Pendlay Row
Yates row
Dumbbell Row
Standing row
What do?
>>36932328
flare your elbows for upper back, tuck your eblows for lats
>>36932337
Is that you Alan Thrall?
>>36932328
I can only talk on my experience, but my back lagged for ages and it wasnt til i started doing high weight low rep pendlay rows that i really got thickness. Something to do with that activation and deactivation of the lats just blew my shit up. Make sure your form is good though or you will experience activation then deactivation of your vertebrae.
>front squat
>ab exercises
THe front squat, along with the power snatch and incline bench are the tripartite of athletic power.
Obviously if you're not an athlete and just want to develop a body you like the look of, then just use machines and diet.
But if you want to be a beast ahtlete you better be doing those front squats.

Hello, I am 6'2 and almost sixteen stone I've been piss poor for a while but can finally pay for the gym,and I know theres no excuse however being as it's next to home/work I have no reason to not go.
My girlfriend reassures me day in and out how "cuddly I am" and how she would hate if I had the same body I did five years ago. (Was pretty buff and healthy but only 12 stone and given my height that made me quite bone and skinny)
I'm thinking of loosing weight ASAP and was wondering what your thoughts on eating a sandwich/chicken salad a day and drinking nothing but water will be? It's not the healthiest option but how long would starving myself take to get me from 16 stone to 14 stone?
TL:DR Want to nearly starve myself whilst working out, is that stupid or plausible?
>>36932170
>stone
What the fuck is this neanderthal unit of measure?
>>36932170
Your girlfriend sounds like a fucking gains goblin, also don't starve yourself you fuck

/fit/ i am 187 cm and i weigh 69 kilo's. please tell me to work out more
>>36932150
Work out more.
>>36932150
work more out
I am 170 cm and i weigh 92 kilo's. i lift 6 days a week (PPL) and do 60-90minutes of cardio every day.
Please tell me to stop eating so much fucking food because years of lifting 6 days a week and cardioing everyday doesn't fucking mean shit if I keep eating too much.
Chinups vs pullups + barbell bicep curl as assistance work for SS?
Or do all of them you pussy
Chin ups and chest dips.

Atleast he is trying to improve himself.
Can't say the same for your fatass. Shit posting on a manchurian fried ball making forum.
I really hate fucks like you who make fun of people trying to improve themselves. You are the same kind of whore who posts picks of newbs on Instagram and fb for likes. I'd honestly kill myself if I was in your place
