All you have to do is google muscle name and workout to find pretty much everything you can possibly to do work a muscle.

Swimming is God-Tier Cardio as far as low-impact stuff goes. (Just in general, really)

I've got the chloroform and the knife. All I need is opportunity now

Nice amount of vascularity going on there. Looks strong, but not blood vessels with some muscles inbetween like others.

>>36513250
Yes. Your mouth shrinks. That's exactly what happens.

Stuff tends to shrink when you die.

Lots of protein.
Lift with intensity
Push yourself and focus on form

Congrats on the weight loss.

A big factor is also the "don't be a bitch" factor. Progress is difficult, if you have worked harder on the toilet than in the gym, you need to rethink.

>>36512856
Alright, thanks anon.

I can push myself with my other lifts, but something about the OHP just kicks my ass.

Ironically, I love the lift itself but am frustrated by the lack of progression.

>>36512897
read the ohp chapter in starting strength, it's likely your form is fucked up. Make sure to get your head under the bar asap, make sure you are forming a straight line with your body when you lock out, use a very narrow grip - literally as narrow as you can tolerate. OHP is something that clearly separates lifters from non lifters, I was doing 85 lbs sets for reps as a beginner weighing 135lbs while my 6'4 220 lbs roommate couldn't do more than a few reps because he didn't lift, didn't have good form etc. It's something that will come to you the more you train it, it's a slow process but you'll eventually get there fampai

[bombs internally]

>muh anabolic window

Just fucking eat.

It's actually like 4 hours or something like that.

A whole lot longer than people think. And it has mostly to do with increased protein synthesis during that time. Not sure if it has any actual effect on muscle tissue.

so the 30 minute window thing is a myth?

Shameful bump

A good gym should have the following traits:

- Be accessible at the times you need to use it.
- Be accessible in a decent time span. Nobody wants to drive for an hour to get to their gym.
- Be accessible in terms of cost. You should be able to afford your gym.
- Have all of the equipment you are going to need for your routine. While nobody can guarantee what their future routines are going to be, it is a good idea to pick a gym that has most if not all of the equipment your routines call for.
- Proper safety equipment. You should have safety rails which you can setup so that you do not kill yourself when bench pressing. You should have good quality equipment which will not break when you are using it. Good quality power racks are great, you can bench, press, squat, and doing most things in them. Good benching stations also have safety rails, if they do not, absolutely use a spotter you trust.
- Not be crowded. Crowded gyms sucks because it feels like you are constantly waiting to use equipment.
- Good population. Nobody wants to go to a gym where you feel like you may be mugged at any time. You do not need to talk to the other gym members all the time, but it is definitely nice if you know you can ask them for help if needed.
- Stability. You should go to a gym where you can be pretty sure it will be open for at least a couple years. Having your gym close on you unexpectedly is an annoying situation.

That is all that I could think of off the top of my head.

People come into gyms differently. For me personally, I go there dressed and ready to workout. When done, I then drive home and take my shower there. I do not shower at the gym, nor do I change there. Some people will shower and change at their gym, it is just personal preference.

Continued:

Do not static stretch (such as touching your toes) before lifting, it is a good way to pull a muscle. Instead, you should do a warm up set or two for each exercise. For example, if I am squatting, I would do a set of bodyweight squats and then a set of squats with the bar to warm up (this is assuming you are a beginner, if you lift very heavy your warm up sets might be done with some weight on the bar, it is all dependent on your abilities). Once done with your warm up sets, you then do the real sets. Rest breaks in between sets should be as long as you feel you need, normally this is around two to three minutes for me, although if lifting super heavy it might take up to five to ten minutes before I feel ready to lift again.

If someone else is using the equipment you need to use, you have two things you can do:

1. Ask them to allow you to work in. This means that when they complete a set of their own and start resting, you do your set. Then when you are resting, they do another set of their own. Working in is difficult if the two parties are using significantly different weights (such as a beginner squatting the bar and a ripped dude squatting four plate). Asking people to work in can also be intimidating if you have never done it before.
2. Wait for them to complete. This is what most people do, especially if they are new to the gym. You simply wait for them to complete, and then once they are done you hop on the equipment. You can wait anywhere, although you probably should not wait RIGHT NEXT to the person who is currently using the equipment, because that could make them feel as if they need to work faster, and thus make them annoyed with you. If you are going to wait, do it in a chill manner, go take a walk around the gym or whatever. Just keep an eye on the equipment you need so that you can grab it when the person is done.
