It gives me constant pain when doing anything that would compress it so to speak.
I don't want people considering me a cripple, I just want to be able to do things for myself...

Why don't you assholes with scoliosis get this diagnosed and corrected when you're a lot younger? Do you just not have parent who took you to get checkups? School nurse didn't check for scoliosis.
See a doctor, OP. But you may be beyond the age where it can be corrected.

Asking this uqestion means you should not be doing 5/3/1
Read Starting Strength you stupid fuck
Using leg drive in a standing press makes it a push press. OHP and military press should be strict

i want to do SS but rippetoe sounds like a massive autist, particularly considering he unironically touts that GOMAD shit.
as for 5/3/1, look at this: http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/sports_body_training_performance/how_to_build_pure_strength ("5/3/1 and Discontents" section)
idk about this author either. what is it with the modified 90% 1RM max that you use to base your workouts on? I'm not saying his science or ideas are bad, but the way he defends this point with all kinds of fallacies, sounding like an idiot, and never actually addressing the science behind using 90% of your 1RM for your workouts makes me really question his work. he doesn't address it in his ebook either as far as1 I can tell at a glance.

You keep pushing yourself.
At some point it becomes easy and then you push yourself more to do greater things.
There is no easy way you gotta go through the process

>>27717329
"Inspiration" is counter productive. If ever the thought comes into your head "it's time to turn this all around," banish it immediately. You need to start being productive just because that's a mode that you exist in, not a state that you inhabit from time to time.
Do you know what astronauts do in space? They go about a mindfuckingly bland routine, endlessly; that is their life for however long they're up there. Their reward is to occasionally glance out a viewing port to be reminded that THEY'RE IN FUCKING SPACE. But in terms of their day to day, it's really mundane shit.
That's what your life is now. It's not going to be fixed, you're not going to be fulfilled once you turn it all around, it's just going to be a bland existence of work and work and work.
Once in a while, you get the privilege of looking out the viewing port and getting a sublime satisfaction from where you are and what you're doing, in the grand scheme of things. But that's momentary, and secondary to the work. All in all, you need to accept that the life you want to live is inherently less sensually satisfying than the one you have right now.
Your ability to accept that is the difference between making it and not.
>>
>>27717492
And if you can't accept that, don't worry about it. The world will always need ditch diggers and shoe shiners.

1) is it a good idea to do bench/OHP same or on consecutive days?
2) is there anything wrong with starting off a workout with a max attempt to see where you're at? i.e. going for bench PR every second or third bench workout when youre feeling good, then doing your planned workout afterwards?
3) home gym masterrace -- anything wrong with performing heavy sets of exercise with 10-20 min computer breaks in between if you're just trying to increase muscle mass and aren't faced with a time constraint?

1. Consecutive? Depends on your work load. If you're going for strength and were lifting at your maximum you need to have a day of rest in between. If you're going for reps/mass it shouldn't be a problem.
2. Yes, very wrong. Skipping warmups increases risk of injury and poor form. Besides, you'll be able to lift more once your muscles have more blood flowing to them.
3. 10-20 minute rest seems excessive. I doubt you're lifting enough to require them. Besides, even if you did you'd need to do some supplementary exercises to prevent your body from cooling down over the timespan.
>>
>>27710287
tyvm for the input, but as for number two, i meant with an adequate warmup for a max attempt, and then continuing with a workout. i was asking more along the lines of "will going for a 1rm max and then doing a workout inhibit sick gainz?"
for someone who is dedicated and has at least a few years of lifting experience where progress is slow, i can see only testing max once every several months making a lot more sense, but this question is aimed more towards those beginners out there such as myself who want to see all the mad progress gainz weekly

Let's get a self-improvement thread going, /fit/. Things that improve your fitness in life.
First, if you have the chance, charge your phone. Worried about saving power? The coal is going to burn anyways, so don't feel guilty. Doing this will eliminate the worry for having enough battery left for that one emergency phone call, as well as make you the hero when everyone else's phone in the elevator is dead.
Wash your face. Morning, night, middle of the day, too. It'll keep you awake and aid the reduction of acne.
If you're working, wear shoes. If you're not working, don't wear shoes. Don't wear shoes in bed. Do not work while not wearing shoes of some sort. Your brain will, and probably already has thanks to school, an association between the pressure on your feet and being awake and thinking harder. This association is a good one. Don't fight it.
Stop the porn. Erectile dysfunction is incredibly prevalent among the younger generation because they are not jerking off to a physical object but a computer screen. You will also find it messes with your lifts, making one arm stronger or weaker than the other, and can cause weakness and stiffness.
Know how to fight. Know how to avoid fights. It is important to learn both because sometimes your opponent just won't bug off. The classic one-two punch exists for a reason: it works. Throw one to the stomach to force them to lower their arms down (a reflex they probably won't be able to control) and then sock them across the jaw. Otherwise, study a martial art-but not karate or tai kwon do or anything that focuses on one opponent. Find something that works well on the ground (wrestling, bjj) and combine it with something that will allow you to deal with multiple opponents at once, like silat. Chances are you won't be fighting just one person in a combat situation, so be prepared for more.
Eat big. Get big. CMON

>saving money on light bulbs

Anyway, you are right about porn. Vanilla stuff is never enough, and after some time you start looking for some hardcore shit to get off. I can't believe what kind of shit I jerked off to, holy shit.
Eventually you end up as a hermit with some sick habits and erectile dysfunction because you can't get hard unless there is some really grotesque shit presented.

Video highlights for the lazy:
>doing HIIT for 20 minutes, 3x per week boosts HGH by 530-771% in test subjects
>total body fat (NOT bf%) in test subjects decreased by 31% from starting point on average
>American Heart Association and the American College of Sports Medicine have now totally changed their cardio guidelines and are steering people away from long, slow cardio
>HIIT works slow and fast twitch fibers of heart -- jogging only works slow twitch fibers
>jogging releases stress hormones like cortisol, HIIT does not
>some minor shilling for cardio equipment is sprinkled throughout, but it genuinely seems like an honest discussion with honest research -- trainer making the recommendation helps NFL prospects with their 40 yard dash, etc
The routine (Sprint 8):
>3x per week, with rest days between sessions (M-W-F, T-Th-Sa, etc)
>2 min light warm up
>2 min active recovery
>(30 s all-out sprint, 90 s active recovery) x 8
Things to note:
>beginners should start with only TWO bursts of the sprints and work their way up to 8 slowly over time. if you can do 8 on the first try from untrained, you're not going hard enough.
>routine is best done on a recumbent cycle or an elliptical with medium resistance
>sprinting is NOT recommended without SERIOUS hamstring stretching as hammy tears are very common.
