I just turned 18 and I've decided to stop fucking around. I've been running a shitty bro split for 2.5 months and my lifts are (all 5x5) -
170 DL
180 Squat
135 Bench
130 Row
90 OHP
Is SL 5x5 a meme? I'm looking for a program that will allow me to build a base good enough to start lifting seriously. Would a basic PPL work fine, with progressive overload? Srs
5x5 is fine, got me this:
75 bench to 155 bench
95 squat to 295 squat
95 deadlift to 255 deadlift
65 ohp to 115 ohp
75 row to 115 row
that's about 6 months progress, also lost 62 pounds.
5x5 SL isn't a meme, you're just a faggot who doesnt wanna work hard.
>>36860929
SL is not a meme if you move on once you start to stall hard, then move to a PPL program.
>>36860951
It's just a question faggot, thanks though appreciate the response
Looks like I'm starting SL, it's telling me to start way lower than I can do though. Should I stick with that or lift what I currently lift?
Any beardbros here? Do you use beard oil and what do you recommend?
>>36860877
semen bro do you even have to ask
>>36860877
Honest Amish Beard Balm. It's the shit.
I literally started using an oil two days ago, and I am already noticing quite a difference, particularly in softness. I would like some opinions on the oil I'm using.
I am using supermarket bought organic virgin coconut oil. It's very cheap, AUD$6.50 for 300g.
The reason for this is when I was researching beard oils, I stumbled across a Sikh forum discussing beard maintenance and a learned elder said you must use all natural oils as chemical based oils will eventually discolour your beard over time (turn it yellow).
I'm a fan of Occam's Razor, and this seems to make a lot of sense. Am I off the mark?
What do you guys think of running? I'm just getting into /fit/ and want to get toned and cut the fat before I try bulking. I'm super out of shape and skinny-fat.
> 6'6", 200lbs
Goodbye gains
>>36860824
I ran 3 miles today. Im hoping to increase by a mile each week
Swimming will burn more calories with less time devoted.
Why are my lifts such shit? My deadlift always go up but my other don't.
Deadlift: 325
Bench: 155
Ohp: 100
Lifting 8 months or so. Just eat more? I thought since deadlift goes up I'm eating enough and maybe I'm messing something else up.
>>36860669
Been lifting 8 months too with identical stats and I have exactly the same problem man.
deload
>>36860669
i hate it when faggots post lifts without weight
Advice on what to do with girl?
I've been seeing this girl for the last four weeks.
We met on tinder, and we basically text every day morning to night, she originally really wanted to date me, but she's trying to get back with her ex whose a sterotypical /robot/, he has no has no license, he chainsmokes, and he still lives with his mother at 27 years old.
She gave him until her birthday in September to quit smoking. They chilled last night, and she said that he's only down to three cigs a day. Recently told me that i'm basically a glorified fuck buddy, that i'm her best friend, and she doesn't want to catch feelings for me.
She already stated that sex is how she develops connections with people, so now i'm tryna fuck her as much as I can.
TL:DR How do I get this girl to ditch her shitty ex, and manipulate her ass to being with me besides the sex part, already working on that.

these are the physical requirement for the Chicago police department, which is probably the most demanding force to work for in the country. what do you think /fit/? too easy? too hard?
That's just to get in, and then they send you to the academy.
The main problem is that they don't seem to care what happens AFTER the academy.
>>36860502
lmao the hardest part for me would be the situps. I absolutely suck at them.
>>36860502
You'll never get a spot in Chicago unless you're the right skin color. Reverse paper bag test.
So are there any benefits to nofap at all or is it just pseudoscience?
To those that have done nofap, have you done away with porn completely or have you continued doing it after you were done with nofap?
>>36860478
psychologically you're better off turning off the porn. you shouldnt jack it every day it leads to a magnesium and zinc deficiency
>>36860478
It's utter bullshit.
>>36860535
But a little masturbation every once in a while is good. The question is how much?
Can you make good estimates on the height and weight of the two males in this pic?

I don't work out, actually I'm against doing any exercise that can't be done without a smile. So I weigh 170, no muscle, and I'm 5'10. I used to weigh 140 last October, what happened? I think I overate a lot.
No disrespect to those that do exercise hard. I just don't work out because I figure it's unhealthy, diet should be #1 thing keeping you fit.
>>36860219
kill yourself
>>36860219
Kill yourself. "Working out is unhealthy" okay say that when you have a heart attack when you're 55

They are. Then again, doing more cardio when you're already skinny is not exactly the best idea fampai.
I'm 23 and live with my parents until I finish my Masters degree. (Nomoney)
I hate every second of it, but it's all I get now.(strict religious too)
I've had qt gf's but all I really care about is the sick cunt life style which I could pursue being 24/25 which seems so fuckig old. Almost desparate.
Thing is I never got to enjoy those things and they are sitting in my mind, bugging the shit out of me.
What would you guys do? Is anyone of you living that Kind of life?
>>36860155
finish your masters, get a job, live the sick cunt life bruh
theres lots of people who party in there 20s. moving out of your parents place after adolescence is common in america but in lots of places people live with extended family their whole life, that doesn't mean they cant party. just look at all of latin america.
Chill bruh, you'll be sick cut soon enough.

What is a good source of information on bodyweight workouts? I have kyphosis and would rather avoid the barbell to minimize risk of injury (except maybe one day in the future if I get really strong). My main concern right now is getting in some good bodyweight workouts that replace the squat, deadlift, and benchpress exercises, or just give me a good overall full body workout.
I've been working out for about a month and a half now doing 30 minute routines where I warm up, do a few bodyweight exercises, and then practice karate which I learned when I was younger for a little cardio (I also take a 1 hr walk each morning for a touch of cardio and discipline building). The bodyweight exercises I do right now are:
-Bodyweight Squats - 2 sets of 15 then 3rd set to failure (currently 25)
-Elbow-in Pushups - 2 sets of 6 then 3rd set to failure (still only 6 now)
-Sit-ups - 2 sets to failure. First set I make it to 50 and 2nd I make it to 25.
I have been casually looking for a pull-up bar to integrate it into my routine (haven't found one yet), but I want to be sure I'm getting a decent full body workout for a very motivated beginner. Pic related, I want to be able to progress in difficulty as each one gets too easy.

Arnold is training his bastard son.
>>36859970
Kid's 18 and already 6'4".
>>36859970
People bash Arnold for fucking his beastly maid. But it was Arnolds plan all along to breed with a naturally built woman to have an Alpha offspring son.
Arnold is a smart man. A Genius.
When interviewing and selecting who would be his families maid he probably did back round checks and such. Family history, health records, ext.
Beyond that he look at this chick and no doubt immediately noticed her strong bone structure with is inconceivably solid. You can tell by her skull and shoulders.
The he probably looked at her muscle structure. No one knows this subject better then Arnold. He can see what a person is and what they can become. She had the locked away genes of a Greek Godess. And he noticed that.
He hired and breed with this chick for this very reason. Joseph 'Arnoldo' Baena is the future.
