What is this road to 2pl8 bench struggle meme? I quit benching when i reached 2pl8 because i found it boring, now that my squat is 200kg and deadlift is 220 i figured i should get my bench up to 3pl8 or something. Started benching again and it shot up 7.5kg within 3 weeks.
How can you be so shitty at lifting? Is your diet on point? Are you pussying out on training? Or are you just destined to be a weak twinklet for the rest of your lives?
I see old farts bench two plates. They look disgusting with their shirts off.
Just because you bench two plates doesn't mean girls will suddenly line up to suck your cock

>implying any of what you said was the point i was trying to make in the post

Probably. I stopped reading after the first 1.5 sentences.
So i recently started using creatine. On the container it says to take it 30 min before workout and immediately after. Can I take it like 15 min later, when I get home, or am I losing gains?
>>36466917
Molecular biochemist here. Treat it like a dietary supplement or multivitamin. It's not a pre or post workout thing- it's about getting to, and maintaining, a level of creatine in the muscle belly. It's like being on a long term medication. Start off taking large doses for the first two weeks as a loading dose, then cut way way down to just maintain it. It's just a useful coenzyme- you dont need to have it in systemic circulation around your workout time- that doesn't influence its efficacy in the cell itself.
Fuck what the bottles say. Take 5g a day, everyday. Take it with water, juice, whey, whatever. Take it whatever time you want; morning, evening, before/after workout, doesn't matter.
Just 5g a day everyday is all you need. It's not like a preworkout drink or casein protein or whatever where you need to take it at a certain time.
You can preload if you want but preloading is not necessary and is the cause of a lot of people's complaints about "Creatine gives me GI problems."
>>36466917
i'm going to start using creatine, should i do a loading phase or not?
apology for poor english

Why do people cover their skin with tattoos? Can't they see that they look absolutely disgusting?
>>36466811
is that a vintage paninibread`?
How much sleep a night do you faggots get? I'm currently on 8 hours, but I really want to limit it to 7, maybe 6. What's the optimal amount of time?
>>36466695
It depends. Some people need 9 hrs, some are ok with 5
It depends entirely on you. Sometimes 7 is good for me, and sometimes I need extra hours. Listen to your body.
>>36466695
Are you talking for health or for gains? Gains requires quite a bit of sleep. This is an anecdote, but the biggest guy at my last gym used to sleep like 11 hours on sunday just to give his body time to catch up.
What is the most valuable thing, quality or aspect you'd trade to be your ideal height?
If you trade this you will never make it or regain it back.
most valuable to you.
No need to wish for your ideal height when you are 6 foot tall. Sorry manlet you aren't going to make it.
>>36466685
especially when you're 6 feet tall and were gifted with wide shoulders and a barrel chest. everywhere i go people gtfo of the way
im 6'4 but my dick average. am i asking for too much?
Hey fit,
Are test boosters worth it? I know Jamie from Chaos and Pain knows his shit so I am thinking about ordering some of his products.
>>36466505
If it has resveratrol it's legit, just gotta be careful because most are shit. I was on res100 which can be used as pct as well, and it worked well.
Be careful with legit test boosters. They're basically steroids. I developed gyno during a 3 week course. Luckily I upped the PCT and it went away.
>>36466598
what product?
I've recently hit 2 years of lifting mark. I look nowhere near i tought i would look after 2 years and im nowhere near as strong i tought i would be. I never even officialy benched two plates. Did 205 few times pretty easy but never actually managed to push 225. I was on a bulk for ~3 months, didn't gain any strength, felt bloated all the time, couldn't sleep because of stomach ache and my almost invisible abs fade away completely making my stomach smooth. I cut only 200 cals and tried to recomp but i've lost 7 lbs in 3 weeks and quite a bit of strength. Every time at the gym i feel weak. Today during the break between sets i was thinking if i should quit lifting at all. During my 2 years of lifting i was on caloric surplus maybe for 5 months in total. Im still not happy with my body fat percentage and i want to cut again so i can achive at least a bit of aesthetics. I just wanted to get it off my chest. I have no friends so my only option is meme image board.
hop on gear
You should probably do more research on proper diet and supplements.
I feel you senpai. About a year and half of lifting... I'm stagnated as FUCK!!!!!
I've been bulking the entire time. Made some gains but they've been so shit as of late. The fucking SECOND my financial situation improves I am hopping on gear.

i'm 22.3% bodyfat (one week ago).
>>36466206
Keep at it for another week, if it doesn't work try going back to maintenance for 2 weeks and then going on your deficit again. Focus on training for the 2 week maintenance too.
Look into PSMF fatty
pls respond
Week long plateaus are common, and often water retention related. Especially common if you're exercising as you work out, and at either extreme of fat levels.
I haven't gone to the gym in a week

i love that site

is test boost you look at heavier girls and this boosts your test? i dont really see any biological mechanisms that would cause this
/fit/, What are your solid almost unchangeable fitness goals? Something that may take months, years, decades?
I want to reach subway vigilante mode, will probably take me 4+ years considering I'm 5'11" and 167lbs. I think I can make it. Here's the link

>>36465891
I want to reach Zyzz-mode, except natty. I already have the advantage of height (6'2), and a similar body type (excluding the definition that came with roids). This will probably take me two or three years.
>>36465891
That dog has seen some real shit
>>36465931
It's a pug, they always look like that
>tfw giant legs
>>36465673
Benson Henderson was in line for the UFC in phoenix, I was next to him and he was so small in person
>>36465673
>tfw doing squats has made your legs giant, obscuring your already small penor
>>36465751
thats because hes 5'9
Used to be 110lbs.
Now 200lbs at 6'1.
My quality of life has skyrocketted when I look back at how I lived before.
Crazy shit.
In retrospective, I'm wondering if it was my personnality, or my physique that caused my shut-in life. Again, my personnality might have been affected by my physique.
Any of you guys got similar, or totally different experiences regarding your physical changes?
>1 year ago no one cared
>no one cares now either
no social gains to be h
i feel a lot better though, feel small all the time but it's alright
>>36465576
social gains are a meme.
>>36465561

>not doing DDR for cardio
>not playing stepmania on keyboard for finger gains
