So there's a fuck load of videos/articles/books out there on form for the big 3 compound lifts and some of it can be contradicting. My questions is what does /fit/ consider to be the best resource for learning to execute perfect technique on the squat/bench/deadlift?

Who /low test/ here?
I do cardio daily and eat only vegetarian foods and limit foods that enhance testosterone production.
I'm almost 30 but I look younger than 20 (even if I'm 190cm tall) and can easily fuck young girls since I have self confidence but look like a young boy. I have almost no body hair but I'm not balding like my father was at my age. Feels good man.

How the fuck does 5/3/1 actually work?
I have a lot of doubts that the volume is sufficient for the amount of weights that you're supposed to do (%RM).
Background: Intermediate lifter here, i weigh 70kg and bench 85kg. I usually train 4 sets of 8 with 80kg.
The program is telling me to train 3 sets of 1+ on 80kg (on the third week). What the fuck is that horseshit?
So you're telling me that 3 sets of 1 on 80kg is BETTER than training 4 sets of 8 on 80kg? Pls science me on this shit.

When building muscle and bulking, is it more important to meet your calorie goals or your protein goals?
If you meet just the protein, will you still grow?

can we talk shoes? what do you wear?
I can't decide between cross trainers or power lift shoes. I don't know if I really need them. Does anyone have an experience with lifting with non lifting shoes, then going to lifting shoes, and the differences?
>barefoot is best brah
yeah I know, but I want to talk about shoes
I'm looking at these:

I'm doing squat, deadlift. no olympic lifts
>>
>>35428520
What's the difference?
Lifting shoes have elevated heels and incompressible rubber/wood sole. Very stable platform for lifting. Shit for walking or running.
Cross trainers are slightly firmer/sturdier versions of running shoes.
Do you need them?
Not unless you have really long legs and a short torso, or you don't want to or can't lift barefoot.

I have those asics, they're shit and fell apart in <8 months

Big muscles but cant lift much?
Is this a thing? I'm more muscular than a regular person and I put on mass really easily, I started running and my legs and butt got bigger. But I can only overhead press 100lbs for 5 reps, and I'm struggling with incline bench at 135lbs for 4 reps. I'm 190lbs at 5'10

Most people can't OHP 100 lbs for 5 reps. Are you sure you aren't just moderately muscular but overestimating your size?

I've heard two arguments in regards to how fast you should cut.
Argument 1:
>Cut slowly so you can maintain as much muscle as possible. Keeping calories as high as possible will help preserve strength.
Argument 2:
>Cut quickly so you spend as little time in a deficit as possible. The less time you spend cutting the more time you can spend bulking or maintaining which allows for more progress over time.
Which argument do you think is correct?

You can also try both and then decide, some people can resist hunger better than others, muscle is not really much lost if you keep exercising.

2 IMO
with heavy lifting, very high protein intake, cutting at only ~1000 calories a day for a short-ish period of time (cycled with carb refeeds and maintenence periods) is totally fine safety wise (with supplemented amino acids, lots of vegetables and electrolyte/mineral supplemente) and muscle loss is minimal.
it's not for everyone though. both slower and faster cuts have their pros/cons and both are very viable options. it's really contextual and even preferential.
>>
>>35427742
Can someone give me advise on this:
I started working out at home in summer and was bulking until a few weeks ago. I've reached a point where I'd need to struggle to get the calories to continue to grow, so I've decided to start to cut now. The problem is, that it's been almost 2 weeks and yet there is almost 0 change in my weight. My lifts are the same.
I keep a good track of my calories and I've not lower the workout intensity.
When I started (during bulk):
78kg
2700 calories per day (except 1 week when i was sick, no apetite at all)
Current:
89kg
Did 2000 cals in first week and now im at 1700.
Should I continue to just count calories and instead of using a weight, measure myself?
Thanks in advance.

Runnerfags,
I used to run 2 miles at a time once every few days. I upped my mileage to 4 miles per run but around a month later I started getting severe tightness in pic related around a mile into my runs.
I stretch like a mofo every day, but still can't even run but 1 mile before the tightness kicks in, and arch-supporting insoles don't help.
Wat do?

Do the sitting calf press

>>35427000
Nice trips. I get them too bro. Run through the pain, your legs will adapt. I take naproxen and it helps with the inflammation. If it gets bad, take a 30 sec walk break and drive on. Do you run hills? I do jog and sprints on hills and it's strengthened my calves. It will get better Familia

Potentially landing too much on your toes, causing stress on the achiles tendon. Try to land on the midfoot.
