QTDDTOT - Questions that don't deserve their own thread

>>38145024
That looks fun. If this is what they do in crossfit then I might try it out.

Is there any point in doing flat bench when you're going for aesthetics and not for powerlifting?

I've only recently started doing incline and decline bench and I've seen so many new gains I didn't know were possible. Now if I'm already hitting incline and decline, is there any more reason to hit flat?

I want to know if I'm being trolled. Saw pic related in another thread. So is that what people consider here to be half squats? Are only ATG squats considered to be full ROM squats? I thought hips going below the knees was sufficient.

>>38145024
What the literal fuck. Do they do this shit just to make the plebs look stupid?

any tips for deadlifting and squatting ordinary sandbags with a rope handle in the middle of them?

is it ok to deadlift them with the sandbags oriented lengthways between your legs? it feels awkward doing it with the sandbags always in front of my body

>>38145071
lmao this is the staff at barbell brigade

Strong dudes that just like to fuck around

Look up "thestrongjewish" on Instagram

>>38145063
The correct answer is that it depends. And that's where the discussion stems from. Depth depends on the length of your bodyparts, your flexibility and if you're squatting low or high bar.

Generally if you're a normal human being with low bar hitting parallel is a full squat, on high bar hitting parallel is a half squat.

Only full rom without breaking form is a full squat.

>>38145024
What does /fit/ think of crossfit?
Did my first day today

>>38145104
Forgot to say, people who are not very flexible will still go as deep as they can and thus claim they're doing a full squat, resulting in said discussion.

What is important is that you use the full range of motion, however deep that may be. But if you can't go deeper than parallel on high squats, then it's time to start stretching.

I got diarreah from drinking or eating contaminated water/food since Sunday

I still have it a little, should I go to the gym today? I'm thinking it might be unsafe. I guess swimming is out of the question

So I'm a poorfag and don't have money for a gym membership. What are the best bodyweight exercises to gain some muscle definition, bear in mind, that I don't want to get big, or ripped. I just want to stop being a weakling with the power of a child.

>>38145104
>>38145118
I go down until my hip is slightly below my knees on high bar; am I doing it right?

>low bar hitting parallel is a full squat, on high bar hitting parallel is a half squat

That kinda confuses me a bit; wouldn't a low bar squat hitting parallel have like 0.75 the ROM of high bar hitting parallel? I tried high bar ATG but it feels like I completely stop at the bottom and I can't come up so I've been going deep enough for hips to be below knees like I said earlier.

>>38145073
Idk about deadlifts, but I used to pick up sandbags like atlas stones in strongman, put them on my shoulders and do squats that way.

>>38145063
When doing high bar, lots of people will have different opinions. You'll get powerlifters who just barely break parallel and you'll get oly lifters that go full ATG. Both will consider it full ROM.

Low bar is a different story. When I go as deep as I can with low bar I tend to get considerable buttwink so I just break parallel which is still fine. Many others also just barely break parallel with low bar simply because the bar placement makes it harder to go full ATG

>>38145147
>I tried high bar ATG but it feels like I completely stop at the bottom and I can't come up
Sounds to me like you have the flexibility to go a2g but you don't go full rom anyway because you simply lack the strength.

>>38145151
i suppose that works, i dont want to risk ripping them though, and i dont know if im up to squatting 40kg yet

If I can't go workout for 2 weeks due to vacation and stomach flu, how much gains would I lose
Can I expect to have to lower the weights as well?

>>38145181
I can squat 2pl8 with the form I described earlier (5x5). The last time I did ATG was with 1pl8 and I had to bail out on the 4th rep. I felt stupid because it was a particularly crowded gym and I was a complete noob back then. Should I go back to attempting ATG with lower weights?

>>38145142
pull ups
push ups
chin ups
squats
sprints
muscle ups
haniging leg raises and window wipers
pick up objects that have some sort of wheight behind them, my gym shut for a week once and i had to deadlift and squat my dad.

alot of parks by me have started putting in some crude workout equiptment so you could use that if they have it near you.

also most commercial gyms around me are around £10 a month, surely you can afford that, if not its time to get a job.

>>38145199
Went on a 2 week vacation with a fever (not the stomach flu) and I came back and found it very hard to move weights that I was moving much easier before vacation.

Had to take a deload and work my way back up. Wasn't too big of a deload (only 20lbs), but still.

Just try to get some form of exercise and don't let your future gym performance affect how much you enjoy your vacation. It's a vacation my dude, kick back and relax. There's no rush in weightlifting. You got years to improve. So enjoy this vacation, cause vacations are rare.

>>38145199
I only got a handful of workouts in in 2 months due to work. Lost 10 pounds. Noticably smaller.

Not sure how much weaker I got since I didn't overdo it yesterday but fuck am I sore today.

Do some pushups and chins if at all possible so you're at least doing something. Throw some split squats in there too.

>>38145024
What kind of cardiovascular gains do you get from high rep bodyweight stuff? It obviously won't be as good as distance running or whatever, but I want to use it to avoid fucking up my leg day. Also, is it a reasonable way to blow more calories?

So I workout with a barbell at my place, and I just pinched a nerve in my back and is pretty much paralyzed here, managed to drag myself to the chair.
The reason it happened is that my back is fucked up, strong kyphosis, some scoliosis, osteochondrosis and w/e else, so my form often suffers. This is not the first time it happened.
So I ask you, /fit/, should I get a gym membership and switch to machines only so I could get at least some weightlifting in, while sparing my back?
Or should I switch to bodyweight only, spending my days climbing stuff and doing 30 variations of pushups?
And if you could just tell me you love me, it would sooth my pain a bit and maybe I'll be able to get some water and painkillers from the kitchen.

>>38145114
If it helps you reach your goals then do it. Make sure you have a decent trainer though and be aware that the injury rate is kind of high.

>>38145024
Is it normal to BB rows almost as much as you can Bench Press?
I can row 185x5 and my bench is 195x5

>>38145903
You visit a physiotherapist, understand your existing conditions and you new injury, and work on a plan to rehabilitate and build strength in the future.

You may also want to work with a suitably qualified personal trainer who can help you make the decision about which exercises you are able to do.

You need professional advice and guidance.

Is 10 min of moderate intensity cardio daily enough to keep your heart healthy?

>>38145938
Completely depends on the rest of your lifestyle.

If you're a morbidly obese chain smoker it won't make much difference.

What are some things that may cause some strength loss?

Background: I went from 265 down to 202 over the past 10 months. I was going on a 10 day vacation so I knew I would miss some gym time. I decided to take a diet break, eating at maintenance for the week before my vacation. Went on vacation, didn't measure anything but my weight was within 0.5 lbs by time I was back home. I kept my maintenance eating, for the week after and instead of progressing my lifts I redid the week before my vacation to 'ease' back into it. What I found was that I was missing 1-2 reps from every set. I assumed it was just from taking the time off. So after that I resumed my diet (-500), but over the last 2 weeks none of my upper body lifts have hit where they were pre-vacation. I keep failing 1-2 reps short. My weight has stayed the exact same (within +/- 0.2 lbs)

-I'm sleeping fine, 8-8.5 hrs a night
-Eating clean, same as before
-No real added stress, relatively low stress job, beyond just having to clock in 40 a week

If my weight was going down I guess I could see a minor strength loss but its staying the same but i'm just losing reps.

>>38144535

>>38146000
Try testing a 1 rp max

>>38146000
Well if you're constantly missing 1-2 reps, you're not using the same volume as you were to build the strength in the first place - besides the fact you're on a cut.

As long as you're not progressively getting worse then I wouldn't worry too much about what happens on a cut

If you are getting progressively worse, then you're probably overreaching - cut the weight on the bar and build back up so you're not 'failing' every set

>>38146015
Pretty much any trail running shoes. Good grip, light weight and rugged.

>>38146056
Adding to this, I'd just attempt to break volume PRs while you build up to previous workout intensity.

>>38146017
>>38146056

Thanks ill give them both a shot. I guess being a new lifter i've gotten used to progressing every workout and seeing a stall, or even missing a rep or two is frustrating since I know I was able to lift it before.

>>38145574
You can build something - pressing muscles will lack tho as just doing more and more reps with 20kg wont do much

>>38145829
Yeah

>>38145717
Hamstring mobility is almost never the culprit for squats

It depends on how and why you cant manage to squat to determine what to do - but any hamstring stretch will work if that's what you want to try

Check out defrancos limber 11 which is pretty high on hip mobility

>>38145915
Yeah that's fine

People can tend to bench more just because they train it more

>>38145897
Yeah it's fine for what you're describing

How can i convince my gym buddy to train his shoulders with full effort?

Is SS as good as they say or should i use another workout program

When will I start seeing progress after I start lifting? Lanklet btw

>>38145199
Idk about how much gains you'll lose, but you might look smaller since the "pump" would be gone.
You'd probably have to deload a bit and work your way back up which is not a problem

>>38145903

There was this screencap where some guy told /fit/ about his custom workout soundtrack he had some girls on /soc/ record for him. He'd masturbate to edging, do his routine, then cum. He'd posted a link.

Sorry for caps but I don't usually get replies on these boards. Have my most hnnnnnnng pic as thanks.

Why am i so fucking tired? I used to be the kind of person that worked fine on 5-7 hours of sleep. Now i sleep maybe 9 hours and i feel dead before half the day has passed. It's probably not beetus, I'm tired regardless of what food routine I'm eating for the day.

Any one have the source for the book about weight loss and drinking water?

I can't get to parallel without my back rounding completely. I'm going to start stretches today but I think it's going to be a long time til I can break parallel with a neutral back

does anyone have experience coming from where I am and can advise a timeframe?

want to get back to squatting heavy asap

>>38146675

SS > TM. Eat like a fucking 400 lbs powerlifter and sleep like a Cinderella and it'll take you a few months.

Cold showers is just about staying calm and breathing calmly instead of hyperventilating. Just accept it.

So I've lost about 30 pounds in 4 months. I feel great about it but there's one issue..

My stomach area looks like absolute shit due to loose skin from the weight loss. It's really discouraging to me.

How long would it take for my skin to adjust to my new weight? What can I do to help improve / speed up the process?

>>38146769
Well you could come to
L O N D O N

>>38146696

You're right. You should never compromise your back for depth. Some people aren't built for squatting and may only hit parallel. It doesn't matter if it's high bar or low bar. People are obsessed with depth for no reason. Sure mobility and streching can improve depth a bit, but you can't change the structure of your body. Full range of motion is the deepest you can go without rounding your back. Period.

I however think I'm wasting days because of the resting periods I need to do.

When is a good time to include accesories to my routine? Also since I want a nice butt I was thinking of adding BB hip thrust or BB glute bridge but I'm just starting with the program and I don't know if I would be overdoing it.

>>38146677

It will fix itself eventually, just keep working out.

Unless you can't stand going 6 months without cock, in which case look on google (the answer will probably be surgery)

How can I increase my grip strength?
Also as a taller guy, how can I go lower on squats?

>>38146813
I watched both of the videos, this is the problem I'm having.
I was posting here yesterday about knee pain most likely caused by not squatting deep enough, maybe 2 inches above parallel.
I'm going to stop squatting for now until I have improved my flexibility, it seems like at the moment, I'll either hurt my knees by not going low enough or my back because of rounding

>>38147031

post video, it's the best way to fix ur form
ur knee pain can be caused by a million different things

>>38146831
You're a beginner you don't know shit about how much rest you need.

That being said, 1-2 isolation exercises at the end of your workout probably won't hurt your recovery. That being said, low bar squatting three times a week will already give you a great butt.

>>38145063
I go ATG when I do high bar but only slightly below paralell when i low bar squat. I used to do ATG with low bar but I lose tension in my lower back in the bottom position. But as long as you're below hip crease that's an accepted squat

Can I survive on a diet of fish, rice, broccoli, carrot, cauliflower and beet? I don't work out or exercise.

>>38147109
Easily.

So when I was growing up, I was a really fussy eater. I'd avoid vegetables. Eat quite unhealthy.

Only veg I would eat was cucumber and lettuce.

Now I'm older, being more aware of healthy living and want to do better. I've already cut out soft drinks, I've cut out unhealthy snacks as best I can.

My big problem though is, I still struggle with vegetables. We've got a new canteen at work and yesterday I bought a salad box with beef.

This thing had a lot of broccoli, this red lettuce looking vegetable, and the strip's of beef. I struggled to eat it.

Today was better, had grilled chicken on green leaves, some pepper and sweet potato. I ate most of it, but struggled with the peppers and had to drown the flavour with chicken.

So how do I tackle my struggle with vegetables?

I first need to lose some stomach fat that I've had for ages. Do I lift or focus on cardio?

>>38147134

>>38146831
You need the rest because you've never exercised before and your body needs to get used to it. When you're done with your noob gains in 4-8 months you can switch to an intermediate program and they all have LOTS of volume.

Add 2 high rep accessories after each workout. Rdls are also nice for hamstrings/ass and will help your deadlift.

>>38147006
Keep lifting. Your grip is being trained with every exercise you do. But if you want isolate forearms you can do heavy farmer walks or alternating suitcase carry

>>38147056
I'll try to film something tomorrow

>>38147134

the secret of eating a salad is learning how to proper season them.

and well, I use only olive oil. I hate vinegar and don't really use salt. Others use lemon and whatnot. Find out what agrees with you and use it.

just keep it like your salad, light. don't go overboard with dressings and shit, just the basic season.

>>38147172
You need to focus on your diet

>>38146928
Yes.
>>38147006
Farmer's walks, stop using mixed grip until you absolutely have to.
Just...go lower, what's the issue? Height has nothing to do with it.
>>38147172

you eat a lot of fiber to make it easier? fiber gives you gas

why don't I feel my pecs when I can't move my hands independently of each other (like bb bench or pushups)?
I feel them hard when I do db bench or flies or anything on the cable tower but benching with a barbell is hugely uncomfortable and not really straining on my pecs at all. I tried different hand positions, from very narrow to pretty wide but not one of them really felt "right".

I eat 2500 calories a day trying to bulk and according to Google only burn 180 calories working out. Literally wtf that can't be right aren't I supposed to burn close to like 1000?

So I've been doing SL for 4 months. I'm stalling and am wondering if I should start SS and get the book. Is it too late? I want to get to 1/2/3/4 before doing splits, is it even worth it?

>>38148329
actually abandoned this board for about a month so no, it wasn't me. It's possible of course that someone else asked that.
Can you tell my what I'm doing wrong/why I'm feeling that way?

Just started to recover my gym routine after going off the deep end (gf broke up with me and I lifted for women).

My roommate got a new high-paying job and he buys alcohol and pizza often, how can I refuse without coming off a killjoy?

>>38148332
don't know. to much fiber.

when i do dumbbell rows, kroc row might be the correct term, i tend to rotate my body so that the arm on the dumbbell creates a 75 degree angle with my chest instead of a 90 degree angle. because of this i feel a good stretch on my upper back.
however, i dont know if this is actually a stretch on my shoulder or some small muscle or tendon in the back that shouldnt be stretched, and i dont know if im just fucking myself up, because while this helps me lift heavier, i also felt a pop during one of my reps, and i got worried.

is what im doing harmful?

Bodybuilding routine for size recommendations?

>>38148383

>>38148358
SL and SS like most beginner strength programs are pretty much the same. You'll be doing a lateral move. You're probably not eating enough if you're stalling.

>>38148383

So if I can't do a single real pullup, which will get me there faster? Negatives, or half pushups? (Staring with upper arm parallel)

Should I be doing a mix of both?

>>38148515
>pushups
I meant pullups shit

>>38148414
doesn't sound very dangerous to me. that popping was some air that got trapped in a wrong place. I really don't think you can snap your shoulder up with dumbell rows

>>38148515
negatives but there's no reason to not do both.

>>38148515
lat pull downs are of course the best choice but if I had to choose between those two I'd do half pullups. just do more and more range of motion everytime

>>38148619
which ever has the calorie and protein profile that meats your dietary needs.

>>38148720
cut fat through diet, not exercise. Figure out your TDEE and eat less than it depending on how fast you want to lose weight.

Does drinking raw eggs provide the same nutrients/protein as cooking them? Also does cooking them in different ways effect this or am I being retarded?

>>38145135
>i think it might be unsafe
no, don't go. how important is going one day in the grand scheme of things?
certainly not as important as your health.

I can't feel the right side of my back when I'm sitting down. It's like it's underdeveloped and the left side compensates and is always stiff. How can I fix this? Constant back pain is killing me.

Just don't crumble up the chalk and throw it up in the air and no one will really notice. Keep the chalk in a brick otherwise the owners may make you do a push/pull set of vacuum rollers after your workout.

Just accept the request, don't overthink it.

Your problem is that you're overthinking it, treat women like you would treat your friends, remove the thought that "she's special because I can fuck her" out of your head, she's just another friend, if she wants to fug, so be it, she'll be the one to let you know.

And when I mean by friends I mean fuck and joke around with them, don't be an emotional tampon and nice guy, do exactly what you would do with a male friend.

My TDEE is around 2,950 and I've been cutting down to 2,000 a day with around 170g protein, 100g carbs and 50g fats. Is this, plus doing my normal workouts, plus core workouts every other night, plus 20 min running every other day (burns 200 cals) enough to burn BF% or do I need to adjust my diet a bit more?

The best way to improve your pullups is to jump up to the bar and hold your upper body, and then slowly let yourself down.

Keep doing this over and over every time you work out. Then after a few weeks of doing that you can then begin the process of actually pulling yourself up... but first you need to train your body to hold itself up there and then let yourself down slowly.

>>38148874
The best way is to imagine she has a penis and probably laughs at fart jokes... that usually helps my anxiety.

So I started squatting at random times and places like pic related, with a rounded back. I remember watching a Rippetoe video saying that it's pretty normal if you don't have a bar on your back.
However, I have this friend that doesn't shut up about how squatting with a rounded back will snap my shit up. Can someone post a trustworthy source to counter him? Mind you, I'm talking about holding the bottom position of a bodyweight squat.

>>38152216
Depends on your goals, but if you're male you definitely want to stay on it until you're repping 1/2/3/4 at least. If you go off it or add shit to it too early you'll just slow down your gains.

>>38152733
Okay, I got a ways to go then. Thanks.

any time i do any of the big four lifts or rows my lower back gets sore. It doesn't hurt unless I compress it by pushing my hips back and chest forward. Am i fucking up on my lifts or is this normal.

I believe in experiencing ulnar nerve entrapment on bench press. My elbow begins to tingle during the latter sets when benching heavy (for me) and I begin to struggle a little.

>>38151355
It's a good start. You'll need to do something different eventually, but you'll be able to figure it out for yourself. Diet, sleep, and consistency are more important than details of routine.

>>38152216
When you want to, or when it stops working.

welcome to hell. welcome to /tumblrfit/ we have a transvestite tripfag.

well, but this pic related was funny though.

It's not exactly fitness related but it is seriously interfering with me hooking up and makes me self conscious to talk to people in general.

What the fuck is up with my breath? I brush twice a day but don't floss and my breath always smells pretty bad. I almost never talk to anyone in person anymore and when I do I make sure to always speak away from them. Is there anything I can do to fix this? This has destroyed all the confidence I've gained from lifting and I hate it.

Currently 20% bodyfat, 5"11, 166lb.
Firstly: If I do a ottermode cut+routine will I just be auschwitzmode? I'm assuming yes but I'd like confirmation.
Secondly: What's a routine for aesthetics I can do at these stats. I've been lifting for a while and fairly strong, but never done anything for aesthetics

Macro advice needed.

>5'5'', 130lbs, F
Working out and on a slight cut
>TDEE 1600cal

Using various calculators and formulas, my protein intake should be around 100g-120g daily. When using MyFitnessPal to help calculate macros, this puts protein in my diet at 25% roughly. Fats and carbs making up 75% of my diet seems kind of high. Opinions?

On avg I'm eating 150g of carbs daily (35%), 75g of fats daily (40%) and 110g protein daily (25%)

My natural inclination is to try to cut fats and increase protein more, but would that be a waste assuming I'm currently eating in a decent range for daily protein?

Glute bridge 3x8
Bicep curls(optional) 3x10
Planks or other ab work

Workout B
Front squat 3x5

Deadlift 1x5
Glute Bridge 3x8
Tricep extension(optional) 3x10
Planks or other ab work

Squats add 5 lbs per session
Deads add 10 lbs per session(then 5 later)
Presses at 2.5 lbs per session

I am in a bit of a pickle at the moment.

I used to weigh 275, but got my weight down to 205. I got recruited for football and coach want me to put my weight up. Problem is I am terrified that I am gonna get fat again if I do so and I don't know what to do. Pls give advice.

>>38155234
What does coach want your weight to be?

Diet at a surplus, but be careful. Don't go too overboard or eat lots of junk. You should know your body and know what makes it fat.

If i'm bulking and finding that i'm not putting on enough weight, is it necessarily a bad thing to top up my daily intake with empty calories from carbs like bread?
I just need more calories right?

How much can I realistically lose? Also what should my ideal weight be? Around 70kg?

I've been doing ICF for coming up three months now and I have a few questions:
When I shrug I get sharp pain in my right shoulder, what exercises could I sub in? I've had some recommended but would like more opinions.
Does anyone have a particular video for showing row form? I've watched a few but they all look different, I just don't feel like I am doing it just right
Would making one day of rows 3x8 rather than 5x5 be a big deal?
Opinions on subbing in pull-ups/chin-ups instead of curls some days?
Any way to tell if I'm doing tri extensions correctly? again, I feel like I am hitting my forearm rather than my tri. Could I sub in another exercise here as well?
I feel like I may to switching to 3x5 squat soon, as 5x5 is really draining and quite time consuming. This no problem?
Is it a big deal if I have to do my lifts in a slightly different order? my gym gets very full sometimes and waiting around for a squat rack can be a problem.

Should i just keep the training? I dont know why this is happening. Wanted to train whole month.

>>38156893
You have to take breaks bro. If you started on Monday you have one day on, one day off until the weekend when you have two days off.

>>38156923
>trained monday for 30 mins
>next day chest and arms hurt
>today only arms
Should i just train? I feel bad for skipping days.

>>38156936
What he means is you need to have days off, especially if you're a novice.

Are you working your whole body everytime or did you just start with arms and chest ?

>>38156936
In the beginning, I think it's more important just to build up routine, so I would say train, but perhaps lower reps or lighter weights for your arms.

If the pain becomes unbearable, it's okay to stop. The point is that you got in and tried, which keeps your routine going.

Probably what will happen is that you will start and then forget about the soreness completely.

>>38156995
Well is it okay to train one day and next day off?
I have a powerstation and a weight bank and i train on them until i trained on everything once.
Its arms (that thing you pull down on powerstation) then legs (that thing from below where i sit), chest (the two things i push from left and right together in the middle) and after that i go to the weight bench.

>>38156999
So is it more important to use more time on it? Well i will train even with the soreness because i had yesterday a day off already.

>>38145024
What does 2pl8 mean?

>>38157045
You haven't read the sticky, have you ?
Most novice programs endorsed here on /fit/ don't use machines or barely use them, but yeah if you train fullbody every time, you'll need to rest the day after.

Routines with 2 workout days in a row don't work the same muscle groups on those same days. Now you indicated that you still felt sore after a day off : you just began training so it's not really suprising, you can try to stick to what you're doing or do less volume or intensity.

>>38157059
2pl8 = 2pl(eight)=2plates, 1 plate typically weighing 45 lbs. 2pl8 means putting 2x45 lbs plates on each end of the barbell, for a total of 4 plates on the barbell.

Does anyone have that image from some manga with a woman saying something along the lines of "someone who wants someone to love them for who they are without trying to improve themselves is just self-centred"? I saw it once on here but didn't save it
