Height/weight? Better to live as a skellington than die a curlbro. Overtraining arms early in your lifting career will make you look like a retard the rest of your life
Help me fit.
Just got an x-ray at the doctor's and my growth plates still haven't closed. He said they'll most likely close within a year. What can I do to actually increase my height in the next year. I'm currently a 5'9" manlet.

Nah, enjoy being a weak willed faggot coating the inside of his body with tar for the rest of your life.
>>36607235
Keep smoking them please
some fag is tryna tell me that doing 2 grip exercises at the end of each lift is a sign i fuck around in the gym.
do people really not do grip work?
>>36606660
farmer walks are great, but if you're deadlifting heavy just hold each rep at the top for a few seconds. Wrist rollers are good too
>>36606678
i do a variety of grip exercises, mainly farmers walks, wrist curls, and what you said (i call them power holds). hammer curls and reverse curls are good too
>>36606678
>if you're deadlifting heavy just hold each rep at the top for a few seconds
this is not the same as a farmer's walk
if you have access to proper farmers implements they are far, far superior
Turns out the person who I got /fit/ for announced today that they're a lesbian.
Shit.

at the very least, use it to bid her a wonderful farewell from hetero land.

What do you mean?
Hey everyone, I've never posted here before so I hope I can get some help. So I just signed up at the gym and I've been going mon-fri for 2 weeks. I'm a 20 year old Male 6'1 and 155 pounds. My goal is to be significantly bigger by September (5 months) is it possible that if I keep going everyday and doing my solid routine with my solid diet? Any tips? Thanks in advance
>>36606422
You're not going to get significantly more muscle, no.
You could get the illusion of being bigger if you're eating a lot though, but it's mostly going to be fat.
Read the sticky, use google or use your own common sense. Don't make new threads that are blog posts. Try and lurk and learn and contribute instead of shit posting.
Of course you'll gain weight and look bigger if you eat right and lift right for five months. That's obvious. Your question contributes nothing to the board and doesn't even leave room for any intelligent discussion.

Hey guys.
I'm finally shelling out for a gym membership, after 2 years of home-gym glory.
I know what I'm doing; I don't need a personal trainer. I just want to lift heavy shit and make gains.
What kinds of questions should I ask before committing to a new gym? Mainly issues that would be easy to overlook. The ones I'm looking at have decent free-weight areas and no lunk-alarms, so I've got the obvious covered.
Thanks!

Why Natty old people still look great while Roidfags look like fatties?
>Pic related

>natty
your body does not naturally make enough testosterone at that age to maintain that physic
even scooby shoots test.
>>36606131
Because part of roiding is offing yourself before you get old.
This is me lads, 6'1 194 lb of garbage, just started lifting. Do I have potential? Any good tips besides sticky?

Seriously though, what do you think? I used to think I looked average, decent, until one day I looked critically at myself and realized I'm not.
I've changed diet and been lifting for a week, feels alright so far. Hoping to cut down to 165 lbs than start bulking.
>>36605998
At 6'1, just cut to like 170/175 and then do a clean bulk.
Anyone here row?
I'm interested in getting a rowing machine for my new home gym. I've heard that rowing is pretty much as good as running, but better on your joints, and better than 99% of the other cardio machines out there.
Also I heard that they're like a bunch of little mini-deadlifts/cardio version of deadlifting.
Is it true? Also, if you have any recommendations for not so expensive rowing models let me know.
>>36605945
> rowing
> as good as running
K.
Used to row in high school. Real rowing was a pain in the ass, working these machines was the best part. At one point they actually set up a 10000meter race using these in middle of the winter. It's fun, but if the money is coming out your own pocket I wouldn't do it. I can go to three gyms: my school's, the Ys, and a community gym and they all have one of these.
>>36605963
Is it not true, Tina? I keep hearing that rowing is pretty bomb ass cardio.
Fuck me fit. I've gotten to near-ottermode and I hate it. I'm weak, my lifts suck, but damn do the ladies love me (lol my wife).
Is there any hope? Do I GOMAD until I pee blood? 5x5? 5x7? 4x6? Do I just need to be real with myself and go 8.5x11?
Help fit.
What are your goals, nef?
>>36605672
Ottermode is the best mode
>strong enough to be stronger than most people
>lean
>most clothes fit you
>attractive to normalfags
>>36605682
>be beautiful
>>36605686
See, this was my original thought. Clothes that fit are great. My quads still need taper fit jeans to be able to breathe, but I genetically inherited adonis' ass. So it sorta works out.
Who /raisedbyasinglemother/ here?
Fuck, my life is living hell because of this shit.
She didn't feed me enough, never encouraged me to do any sports, and made me a shut-in.
Anyone in my case or what? How does /fit/ deal with it?
And more importantly, does trying to become a man by lifting fixes things?
>>36605584
Wow what the fuck is up withat new format?
>>36605594
April fools
Grow a pair of balls and take responsibility of your own fucking life instead of blaming your mother you piece of shit.
I grew up without a father and I'm sure many of you did too. I never had someone to teach me how be a man during my childhood and I always was the shy niceguy in school.
It took me many years to "learn" and to understand things like for example 3) and 4) in the attached pic.
I'm convinced that many young males today have the same problems, so lets get a thread going where we share advice and help each other become better men.

Not being called Glenda is a good start

ITT: Exercises that /fit/ generally considers safe but which are actually one way tickets to snap city:
>Bench press (Rotator cuff)
>ATG Squatting (Knees, lower back)
>Deadlift (Lower back)
>Full ROM pull ups (Rotator cuff, elbow)
>Pike stretch (Lower back)
>Pistols (Knees)
>Full ROM push ups (Rotator cuff)
>sucking dicks
choking hazard, risk of drowning, increased chances of a neck muscle tear
If an exercise starts to hurt I just stop doing it or find out what's wrong with my form.
>>36605481
No, no. I mean exercises that WILL result in injury sooner or later, even with perfect form.
