Hey /fit/, I feel like I can rarely find my proper stance for squatting. I feel like I'm always trying to adjust it, and sometimes when I do find it and have a great session I can't seem to replicate it.
I feel part of my problem is my shoes are too good.. I have the newest reebok shoes that are like $200 but they're so solid that I can't adjust my feet at all with any kind of noticeable weight on my back.
Is there any kind of hacks/tricks to find your perfect stance? Whether that's similar to the method of finding your bench width by measuring your shoulder width and plugging it into a formula, or something like "prepare to jump and use that stance" like I've seen for deadlifts etc I would really appreciate it.

This is my second summer of hitting the gym super hard so I wanted to take a progress pic and throw it on social media. I have normie friends who do it every fucking other week but I have always tried to be humble about my gains. I have been getting a lot of mires recently and this is objectively the best shape I have ever been in. Do you guys have any suggestions for taking really good pictures? I know lighting is huge but would you recommend any particular workouts or water weight tips?

If you want to look more toned don't drink a lot of water for a day -dehydrate yourself.

If you're only hitting it hard in the summer, you look like shit. Don't post pics.

I mean I started last summer so it has been a year and almost 3 months of dedicated lifting. Before that I was always making excuses and pretty spotty about it. I probably get to the gym 5/6 days of the week.
>>42488261
I read that I should drink a lot of water a few days before I take a picture then dehydrate myself the day of
sup, new lifter who inherited his dad's set of dumbbells
5, 15, 25, 35, 50, 80, and I think even a 100
I've got only one of each, except for two 25s.

Do you have a bench or just the dumbbells?

Just the dumbbells, but would any surface where I could lie down with my legs perpendicular to the floor function as a bench?

Best argument for abusing steroids I could ever imagine. Who else feels these feels?

Rich Piana looks disgusting op, you should know that.
I have the opposite of body dismorphia.
>5 months of bulking and a couple of weeks into my first cut
>Feel ripped, muscular and lean evrytime i look at my body in the mirror.
>Feeling like i am finally making it.
>Take a picture and look like a dyel twink. If i dont flex i look like a fat piece of shit.

We all start in that phase, anon. You'll turn into me when the time comes. Steroids are the ultimate redpill when it comes to fitness
>>
>>42488197
Yea don't you'll look like a roid freak and your body dysmorphia won't be any better
I manage mine by playing sports and running. Having a goal like running an ultramarathon, one that is mutually exclusive with being hyooge, makes me feel better about how I look in the here and now.
Also sage, not fitness related
how long did it take you to get from 135 working sets to 225 working sets?

About a year, would have taken less if I had eaten correctly. Don't focus on hitting 2pl8, focus on adding 10lbs to the bar.

I went ahead and just bought some squat stands. Costway brand, $56 from Walmart, free shipping.
They're okay, not good by any means, but okay. I taped some socks on there to protect the knurling on my barbell (it's a nice York bar). It came with some weird safety bar things that pin on the bottom holes, but I deemed those useless and omitted them from the assembly.
Definitely Chinese steel box tubing. Weak material, but if I'm nice to them I believe they will withstand 3 plates and some change at least. I'll load up the 445lb I own and let you know how it goes

Me and my bro accidentally bought pre salted chicken and it had a total of 5600mg of salt in it. Are our gains forever gone? Should we just give up?

/Fit/ whats your motivation to continue to lift weights?
lifting is a punishment i inflict on myself until exhaustion basically everyday to cover up the insecurities in my life and my fear of being alone.
the 2 hours i spend in my gym everyday are all i forward to during my daily life. The barbel is the only thing that understands me i just want to be able to lift more.

Discipline, Self Control, and maybe a bit of Masochism. I want to be in control of my own self, not a slave to hormones and genetics, and I absolutely need to keep improving. The release of a massive lactic acid buildup after pushing my limits is intoxicating.
