Is it okay to stand on my toes when I do squats?

Ass to grass is not an option, I don't have the flexibility for it and wind up on my toes regardless. It's what I've been doing, so far so good, but want to make sure I'm not setting myself up for snap city.

>>
>>38817372
don't stand on your toes, this causes your back and spine to roll forward and do the bending motion that will take you over to snap city. Work on getting better squat form by taking your weights down a peg, and slowly gaining flexibilty by going a little further down every day, you don't need to go ass to grass. Imagine you're lowering yourself onto your heels. Make sure this form is good, or you will end up in snap city sooner than later.

Don't know m8. Legs are shoulder width apart, try bending down and, immediate discomfort in my shin area.

Was squatting today and I felt my IT band get really tense mid set.

I stopped my workout and it was definitely tight, but didn't have any pain.

I got home and I can walk around and such, no pain, but I can feel it being tight. If I put a lot of pressure on it, I can lightly feel a light pain but otherwise it's fine.

Thoughts?

how skinny are you?

If you're not skinny, your bar placement is too low.

It should be on a shelf created by your rear delts

Go in the gym, warm up very well, and workout

If anything bothers you just stop right there.

so in my deadlift I should be using more of my hamstrings than my quads right? for years I have been doing diddies as if it was a squat. I think my hamstrings got really underdeveloped because of it.
also is there such a thing as developing one part of the muscle more than the other? i feel like my rectus femoris is way more developed than my vastus medialis and lateralis. my legs are pretty thick in the beggining but really thin close to my knees.

I am 302 pounds and have started getting my shit together, but after 15 years of eating takeaway almost daily I can't stomach steamed vegetables without wanting to gag.

Is it ok to eat veg roasted with a little olive oil and herbs every night for a while during this early phase? Thinking of like roast veg with grilled chicken and shit like that.
>>
>>38817884
Well, it's hard to describe. If I'm sitting in a chair and just shift my weight around, it'll start to hurt. Also when I laugh and contract my belly it hurts.

I don't really know how else to describe it.
>>
>>38817877
No. If the bar was anywhere near your shoulder blades, it was way too low.
>>
>>38817891
measure the olive oil and count it towards your daily calories

1 tablespoon is 119 calories

>>38817891
it's fine, just count those calories.

Even if the bars in the right place, you've just applied extreme pressure to an area of tissue which isn't accustomed to it, with a lot of small blood vessels right under the surface of the skin. What did you think was going to happen?

If I may shill a bit, I can't say enough good things about Sonicare. I'm sure any kind that vibrates at high frequency will do just as well. I have the cheapest model.

A fit girl found me. Shes literally marriage material, only problem is she wants to hold off sex until marriage. I mean, i was just going to sit here lonely, playing vidya and drinking coffee anyway if she didn't come along.

Should I stick by and see if I really do end up liking her enough to wait? I was looking for a long-term thing anyway. She really likes me, I really like her, we have a lot of similarities. Kissing her is nice. Cuddling with her is nice.

We've both had sex with two people in the past. Both one fling, and one relationship. I've had a dry spell, and she's decided that sticking to her guns on no sex until marriage will help her find someone that will prove to be/or not be compatible in the long run for a relationship.

Thoughts?
>>
>>38818024
what could go wrong?
>>
>>38818037
Eh. I find out that I don't like her enough and move on.

Or I stay with her, decide I think shes incredible and worth waiting for.

Am I looking at it too simply? I mean, I'm figuring after sticking with someone long enough and determining that we both love eachother, she may decide differently on her decision. I'm not betting the house on that happening, but I'm not ruling it out.

Definitely not. Start out with 2400 and see if you're gaining at a pound per week (after two weeks). If not, add 150 to your intake and repeat. Make sure to get 0.8g of protein per pound of bodyweight.

>>38818322

if you're squatting facing the rack (which you should), the only way to fail is to dump it

here's a video showing you how to just drop it behind you:

Hey guys, quick question. I asked elswhere already, withnout any answers though.

Will doing arm isolates any difference in my case? I've been on stronglifts for 2 months now, then I '''switched''' to this.

A
- OHP 4x5
- Squat 4x5
- Diddly 2x5
- Dip 3xF
- Chin up 3xF

B
- BB row 4x5
- bp 3x5
- Squat 4x5
- Pullover press 4x5
- Pull ups 3xF
+ random ab work

Is this routine good for now? I'd really like bigger arms, but I don't want to do accessories that won't do anything.

For bigger arms do one day of heavy bicep curls (a weight you can just about do 5 reps with) and a more volume orientated day (think 3x10).

I find I get the best tricep work out from dumbbell presses, others need to isolate them properly. Find which works for you.

Do a squad without weight.
Now halfway down push your ass back like you're trying to fuck a very low golyhole.
If you go straight down, you'll stand on your tips. Push your ass back when you're halfway. This way you should be able to maintain pressure on your heel.
When you push back up, also push from the heels.

I'm beyond bored of the gym and can't make myself get back in there. I still have to burn some more fat after losing 26kg/57lbs and maybe lose some more weight but not necessary.

My question is how good will swimming be for this? How much do I have to swim to lets say cover the basic SS workout (burn calories wise)

Not sure if this makes sense because i'm comparing a strength building workout and cardio but I still hope I can get an answer if at least swimming will be legit as the only exercise i'll do.
>>
>>38819409
Thanks for your reaction. When I started I weighted just under 80kg, two weeks ago 86kg.
>>
>>38819418
Short answer yes swimming is good for weight loss.
Long answer, depends how fast you swim and how heavy you are, Also the calories burnt in a SS workout depend on how much you are lifting.
But the best workout is the workout you are willing to do

Well they say a kilo of body fat is 7700 cals, google says that 'fast' swimming for an hour is 4.5ish cals per pound body weight so for you thats really nicely 770 cals per hour you need to burn a total of 38500 additional cals so 50 hours of swimming.
>>
>>38819585
And if I set it as below average that would get closer to 100 hours of swimming.

That's a lot of swimming

Buy a fucking water filter and stop pissing away money with water bottles. They're good to take with you on the go, but a water filter was the best investment I made in a while. It's a pitcher type one that I fill up and leave on my desk with a glass. I refill it at least 2 twice a day.

One arm push ups trains more the whole body than your arms. Push-ups are nice and all but you can't really go heavy with them.

Answer to your original question, while, yes, push-ups are considered more safe on the joints, I doubt that having that much weight will still keep it safe.
>>
>>38820204
2 min. Planks, 3 sets, then switch to weighted planks

>>38820324
No, your lower back is fine but it looks like your upper back is going a bit too backwards which is probably causing the pain. I'm guessing you get that pain with ohp? I know that feel, just try to keep your upper back a bit forward. Wear tight clothes and look in the mirror when ohping.

>>38820431
Generally creatine is considered natty. However some autists will say it's not. The general consensus is that you get very small amounts of it from meat so it is technically natty, but when in high doses it is not. Don't worry too much about it.

I've been doing Greyskull LP for 1 month now. I'm 177cm, 72kg and about 18-20% bodyfat I think. Is this enough to support linear progression while on a cut?

I'd like to cut down to 12% eventually but at the same time I'd like to maximise strength gains.

I usually get that when doing a non-normal stride or running for a while. Try to keep your glutes engaged while running. I know it sounds hard and you won't be able to fully engage them but it will help.
>deadlift
This is weird. I guess it's just soreness from the running.
You have a pretty normal lower back, I think it's just a matter of training it for endurance.

>>38820629
At the worst just go back in expecting a 5lb loss. If you're still recovering from the infection then expect more. Just keep yourself hydrated.

I've been doing 5x5 for couple months, now I'm deciding to cut but I'm pretty busy, so I don't want to waste 1.5 hours every other day in the gym just to maintain muscle better.

How fast would I lose muscle on a cutting diet if I don't work out at all, I prefer to just not go to the gym for like 1-2 months so I have less fat, but if it will take me a long time to build back that muscle that I've lost I don't think it's worth.

If the answer is yes, you should definately go to maintain, then what kind of workout should I do? 5x5 seems to be pointless and waste of time in this case. I want to do 5x5 after this cutting period.

pic related is a measuring tool, you can measure diffraction of light with it, and then calculate the wavelength of the light.

>>
>>38817325

>>
>>38820790
You lose muscle slowly so don't worry too much about it. With that said, cutting and not going to the gym will make the muscle loss even more present. In regards to routine, just go the old way and do 5x5 with the first two sets being the warmup sets so don't rest as long. And I would at the very least go at least once a week.

>>38820797
Its you compensating for weak legs, so you're lifting the weight with your back. Remember, both the legs and back want to be straight at the same time. Some variation when going heavy or the last few reps of a last set is fine, but do not make it a habit. Consider lowering the weight to fix your form. I've lowered the weight on my deadlifts numerous times to fix something I saw wrong with my form.

The reason I don't like 5x5 on a cut is because SL5x5 is all about increasing strength, and I've been able to do that untill I start eating less.

So when sl 5x5 gets heavy resting time becomes very long. This is worth when you realize you are doing it for being able to do higher next time, but when cutting, you I'm wasting so much time without progress, which makes it not efficient for me. I feel like for cutting there should be something more efficient that doesn't have strength as the main goal. And is 1 or 2 times a week enough to prevent many muscle loss?

Weak legs, really? My legs are pressing the hips up and my upper body sorta doesnt quite follow as fast and ends up kinda dragging along slowly. Knees and hips do close at the same time at the top though.

You still can't grow muscle on a calorie deficit, r-right?
>>
>>38821193
>I feel like for cutting there should be something more efficient that doesn't have strength as the main goal.
You're cutting and not wanting to go to the gym as much, you might not make progress, you're maintaining at that point. And yes 1 or 2 times a week should be enough but, again, don't expect to make gains, your goal should be to stay at the same weight, if you make gains, great. Also, make sure you're not resting more than 4-5 minutes, hell, I usually try to keep mine down to 3 minutes.

>>38821221
I may have misunderstood; if the weight is still moving up when you move your legs, then it is, like you said, all three of those you mentioned in the previous post with more emphasis on the lower back. Try, adding a back exercise into the mix, like I said here >>38820752.
I apologize for the misunderstanding, my usual problem when I squat/deadlift is that my hips go up but the weight goes no where because I have weak legs.

>>38821305
It's just harder to. Your main goal should be cutting, but if you can get at least .5g/lb protein in there (maybe .7) then go for it.
>>
>>38821305

Read starting strength.

Anyway:

Stand with the barbell over mid foot, this includes the entire foot not just the part infront of your shins so it's pretty close to the shins. Grab the bar. Bend your knees until your shins touch the bar. Lower your hips until you find a position where your hamstrings are a bit stretch, and squeeze your chest up. Record form and evaluate.

What are some causes of weight loss plateaus I could look into?

I've been dieting for a few years, I've lost 100lbs. But lately I can't lose weight with any reliability. Once I get below 250 it seems like I lose no weight, and gain if I even look at food. I'm tracking calories with MFP, I stay below 1600 calories. Yes once or twice a week I'll do 1900-2000 calories but I'm always at some amount of deficit.

I'm 33, 5'10, 250 pounds. Hit the gym about 3 times a week.
>>
>>38821441
>>38821455
I already do both of those. I'm usually at a 700-800 calorie deficit. I started doing a little too much cardie, so I don't want to hurt my legs, and have taken a break, but I still walk several miles a day to try and compromise.
>>
>>38817895
Sounds like a hernia or risk for hernia at least.
>>
>>38817372
>>38817384

Weight on toes and weight on heels are both one way tickets to snap city. Your weight should be evenly distributed over your whole foot (i.e. midfoot). Play with your stance width and toe position (straight, pointed out, etc.) until you find a position where you can comfortably squat to parallel or below without ending up on your toes or your heels.
>>
>>38821214
You won't be able to lift heavy multiple times a day once you're strong by virtue of the fact it's hard and taxing. Overtraining isnt a problem for weak novice lifters because you're not strong enough to seriously tax your body's ability to recover.
>>
>>38821484
>hurt legs
Then switch to the rowing machine. Sorry to say, but walking doesn't count as cardio. When my legs start to really hurt after running for 20-30 minutes then I hit the rowing machine for another 15-20 minutes.

>>38821472
Again, like we said before, try cardio. And that doesn't mean substitute lifting for cardio, that means adding it on top of it. Even if it's rowing after lifting or just on another day. Just make sure you are working up a serious sweat or it doesn't count. Cardio should make you want to kill yourself at the end of it; any less is not enough.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll up my cardio game per your suggestion. I'll freely admit that while I do 20 minutes on the bike and elliptical, it isn't as grueling as it could be.

The cardio suggestion implies that my calories out isn't exceeding my calories in, but I'm very confident in my calorie counts. What could've made my metabolism drop so low? I understand that losing weight changes metabolism but every calculator online says 1500-1600 should result in steady weight loss.

I felt as I increased the weights I wasn't working hard enough and was breezing through it, so I changed 3x5 to 5x5 and doubled the weekly weight progression. Now I feel great, but I want to know if I should do this if I can get away with it physically?

Also any recommended additional exercises for GSLP would be fantastic.

nothing really, but it's not optimal. Your body is still recovering from the first day, so you're starting the second day at a disadvantage.

>so in my deadlift I should be using more of my hamstrings than my quads right?
yes, lift your ass up before you start picking up the weight
>also is there such a thing as developing one part of the muscle more than the other?
yes

>so I changed 3x5 to 5x5 and doubled the weekly weight progression. Now I feel great, but I want to know if I should do this if I can get away with it physically?
chances are you started with too low weights. Stick to programs as they're designed.

>>38821829
bad? no. Could be you slept on it funny. Go easy on next shoulder workout if it still feels weird

>>38822485
Kind of true. As long as you are varying the intensity then you can squat on consecutive days and still recover fine.

>>38822529
>Developing one part of the muscle more than than other
Got a source for this? The muscle belly can develop more towards one joint for example but I can't think how you can target this with specific training.

>>38822473
Do GSLP with AMRAP final sets. If you make 10 in the final set then double your progression next time.

As for additional exercises, dips, leg curls, leg extensions and dumbbell presses are all good.

Is it okay to tear a muscle? I heead something about micro tears in muscles were okay.
>>
>>38818849
Just do conventional. You dont have the training experience to decide that sumo is better for you.
>>
>>38822577
'micro tears' in a muscle refers to a way to visualise the damage done to muscle fibres from working out which stimulates hypertrophy through repair.

A muscle tear is an injury.

Doing Phrak's Greyskull LP variant, about 7 months now. Still making gains here and there despite cutting (went from 225ish to 206ish lbs so far).

I suffer from having no ass, a point which has been somewhat addressed by squats, however I've read that Romanian Deadlifts are uhmayzing for gluteal thiccening. Since I've been basically just following my routine I'm not sure how that would get incorporated if I wanted to add them; would I do that in place of squats or deadlifts or would it be an accessory, which would mean I'd need some form of push to balance it?
>>
>>38817325
Does cleaning up count as cardio or lifting?
>>
>>38822628
Well then. Is it good to do that? Not the muscle tear but the first thing you mentioned?
>>
>>38822718

It is the natural result of putting your muscles under strain.
>>
>>38822711
no you fucking retard

>>38822718
good in what sense? it's the way your body functions to adapt to your lifestyle. The opposite of that is to lay in bed all day and have your muscle atrophy

>>38822707
>uhmayzing
kys

just do hip thrusts and the donkey kick machine as accessories if you want booty gains.
>>
>>38822707
Add as an accessory. You won't need to balance it if you are still squatting regularly

just prop her up farther when you're eating her pussy and travel down there while you do it. they roll with it every time.

To which one? I just ate garlic bread I need the cardio. And to clean.

Was listening to Lyle Mcdonald talk on diet and training and he states that you can not build muscle unless you have progressive overload.

So if you did a bulk and got your lifts up and then began to cut, and your lifts all start to go down what does that mean in terms of muscle?

At peak of my bulk i managed to diddy 250kg, but i would be lucky to even pull 230kg now and its only been 7-8 weeks cutting i am also down 10kg. My bench has gone from 115 to 110, and OHP has dropped by 5kg too.

>>38822727
So just working out normally will cause my muscles to adapt or something? I thought I heard you could maximize the efficiency of workouts by creating micro tears so they heal and become stronger.
>>
I'm about 2 months into starting strength and i've realised that something stopping me from progressing on my squats from workout to workout is my weakness coming out of the hole. I did a bit of research and came to the conclusion that anderson squats would help me build strength out of the hole, as well as increasing my strength from the floor on deadlifts (I lack power on the concentric part of the lift), any ideas on how I can implement anderson squats in my starting strength routine, or would I be better off just focusing on increasing my compound lifts first, then changing up my routine several months down the line after I've milked my noob strength gains? Thanks.

Does anyone rate lunges?

>So just working out normally will cause my muscles to adapt or something?
the more you do something the more your body becomes accustomed (adapts) to doing that something

> I thought I heard you could maximize the efficiency of workouts by creating micro tears so they heal and become stronger.
what do you think micro tears are? how do you think they're created? How old are you?

Micro tears are the natural occurrence of using your muscles to lift heavy things.

I saw pueraria mirifica listed on one of those trap infographics. if a real girl takes it, what kind of effects would it have? Better fat distribution? I don't see much info on it.
>>
>>38822779
Then why the fuck should I clean you asshole?
>>
>>38817325
Will you lose gains if you miss out on your recommended protein intake, for a few days?
>>
>>38822927
Just keep doing your squats finish your noob gain period of 5-7 months and then once you are truly strong see if you still need anderson squats and add them to whatever intermediate routine you will be on.
>>
>>38822995
This is all pure bro science and all based what I experienced with my body, if I miss my proton macros i've noticed that I can maintain my strength however I either can't recover from my tough workouts or I can't put more weight on the bar in my intensity day.
>>
>>38822994
so you don't live in squalor? I don't know, don't fucking clean, I don't give a fuck you fucking retard

>>38822995
for a few days? no
>>
>>38822939
Nah I'm just new to fit. I just heard there were quicker ways of getting stronger faster without the use of steroids.
>>
>>38822927
>or would I be better off just focusing on increasing my compound lifts first
Yes, don't think about assistance exercises when you're a beginner, you're getting ahead of yourself. Finish the beginner program as it is, because you are a beginner and it is made for you by someone who knows more than you. After two months your problem isn't weakness out of the hole, your problem is weakness.
Also if you're not progressing you need to eat and sleep more.
>>
>>38823027
I think you give a little fuck, bro. Alright, I'll do it for you.
>>
>>38823042
>I just heard there were quicker ways of getting stronger faster without the use of steroids.
seriously, how old are you? are you retarded?
>>
>>38823042

You really ought to read the sticky and stop embarrassing yourself.

Anything you read that claims to have some secret that will make you gain muscle faster or lose weight faster is either broscience or a scam. Hard work and control of your diet, that's it, that's all there is.

thanks anon. any estimation of how long before my godly body deteriorate without adequate protons?

Newbie here. Are dips a good substitute for bench press?

I go to my job's gym later at night, when nobody is around, and there aren't any safety rails on the bench. Benching alone without any sort of safety seems pretty dangerous/stupid, so I'm hoping to get a similar chest, shoulder and tricep workout with dips.

Going earlier isn't really ideal, because the gym is crowded during work hours and the gym has very limited equipment.

I don't want to switch gyms either because this gym is free for me.

Well?
>>
>>38823352
>dips are excellent
>>
>>38823352
>Are dips a good substitute for bench press?
"no"

they're a good supplement to it though.

learn how to bench press safely alone
>only put enough weight that you know you can lift
>learn the roll of shame
>never clip the weights

How do I get rid of my androgynous looks, I get teased by everyone how I look like my mom when she was younger and I am finally done with it. Here's the problem, I have Klinefelters and I've never worked out before, I have extremely high metabolism , and can't grow facial hair at all. I've been looking at the sticky but I have no idea if it would work on me.
>>
>>38823412
pick a beginner strength program, SS is great. Do this for a few months to develop some strength and then switch the order of the lifts so your upper body gets priority

>I have extremely high metabolism
you don't. You just don't eat as much as you think you do, just like fat people eat way more than they think they do and say they have a slow metabolism.
>>
I've managed to lose enough bf to no longer qualify as skinnyfat but my problem now is I'm just a scrawny fuck and I feel like if I get "cut" I'll just be super tiny and ripped. But I've read that the leaner you are when you bulk the more muscle you can gain. My question is should I cut down to Holocaust mode and then bulk or just start now?
>>
>>38823474
>But I've read that the leaner you are when you bulk the more muscle you can gain.
this sounds like bullshit broscience, it just makes it easier to see gains initially. Go by bf%. Cut to like 12%, bulk to 18ish, and then restart the process.
>>
need to fix this apt but I'm on recovery.
what are some home exercises I can do?

Is it alright to just eat normally and work out and first gain muscle before losing weight?
>>
>>38823689
>Is it alright to just eat normally and work out and first gain muscle before losing weight?
it's subjective and up to you and your goals. That being said, it's easier to lose weight the more muscle you have, but it's easy to put on more fat weight gaining muscle. Personally, I would try to get as strong as I possibly can get initially, put on some weight, and then go on a cut. If you're fat, like 25%bf or above, I would advise lifting at your current diet until you stop making gains, and then start a cut.

OHP 2x5, 1x5+, add 5lbs/week
Bench 5x10 around 50% of max
DB Rows 5x10

Day 2:
Deadlift 1x5+, add 5-10lbs/week
Squat 5x10 around 50% of max

Day 3:
Bench 2x5, 1x5+, add 5lbs/week
OHP 5x10 around 50% of max
Chinups 5x10

Day 4:
