Why train for strength over aesthetics if you aren't competing? Any reason at all?

so I kinda made it. I did SS and TM and was rewarded with a hot new gf, much hotter than I could dream of in the past.

so how do I deal with the feel that my new gf has slept with a ton of guys? she's hot, kinky and horny as hell. her personality is great too, she's kind, caring, treats people with respect and our values are in alignment. she's very open about her past, has had stable, longterm relationships and there's no reason to believe she's the cheating type. still, I can't help but think of her as a slut, mostly because she had lots of casual sex while I was an awkward beta who jacked it to porn (I would have been a total whore if I had the chance, so I can't really judge her). how do I deal with these feels?

Are my arms and shoulders supposed to hurt after doing squats?

>>40366671
https://www.t-nation.com/training/light-weights-for-big-gains

gives some insight in to types of muscle fibers and how strength and hypertrophy training affect them

tl;dr you need both for aesthetics

>>40366671
unless youre doing blue collar stuff, probably not, but strength will never be a disadvantage

>>40366720
no, you're probably holding the bar wrong and supporting some of the weight with your hands. when done correctly your hands will basically just lie on top of the bar

>>40366709
She's with you for a reason isn't she?
Quit thinking of her as a sloot or your beta bitch attitude will make her just that.

you're enough anon.

Routine for big arms?
Preferably something I can add to SS.

I have recently read the sticky, and it said it would be helpful to eat fish. Is it really necessary? I despise almost every kind of fish that exists, it tastes so fucking bad. If fish is really necessary, how do I force myself to eat it and start enjoying it?

How should I change my routine (1/2/3/4 based PPL) to fit my low carb deficit diet?

I've been lifting for 6 months and am still pretty dyel. however, I'm happy with my overall progress.

For 4 months, I went to the gym 6 days a week doing ABCABC in SS. however, I started realizing that resting actually enabled me to lift more.

so for the last 2 months, I've only been going 3 days a week. I've been progressing much more significantly overall, but some days when I don't set records it's like ok I just wasted an entire week. additionally, everything I read online says this is bad because I'm only training each muscle group like 4 times a month at best and I need to go more to see actual progress.

any advice/ good rules of thumb regarding how many times to go a week?

>>40366723
>t-nation
You're joking, right?

>>40367165
Is there a certain point in that article you'd like to discuss? I'm willing to debate.

How heavy is heavy?

Hey /fit/ quick general question here.
When I roll my shoulders (just my shoulders, arms down) I hear slimy liquid noises in my sternum. wat do

I'm currently cutting and find it easy to go through the day with almost no food; is there any reason why I shouldn't just have a single big meal at the end of the day?

Stats first I guess
6'2"
230lb
Goal: lose weight and gain strength
So I've been working out in a home gym I set up for me and the gf, and so far I'm not seeing any dramatic results but I am feeling stronger every time.
I can now do about 4x as many pushups, situps, dips as I could 3 weeks ago when I started.

My question is, could anyone get me a decent routine to put together using my home equipment? I have:
2 medicine balls, 10lb
2 dumbells
a curlbar
a straight bar
a bench
about 400lb in plates

I also have a park fairly close with pullup bars and whatnot. Thanks in advance.

>>40367112
Wtf, it's not about the fish, It's about the protein. If you're getting enough from other sources then you're good.

If you want to try and like fish though try other preparations. Tuna salad is a pretty nonabrasive way of preparing fish.

>>40366484
Ok heres your fuckin answer courtesy of the shitpost incarnate.

No you arent going to 5pl8 DL anytime soon and your aesthetics will suffer if you get close. You smell like home mixed gatorade and purple k creatine because "you wanna stay natty". Fraud if you wanna see legit results otherwise pretend its all genetics and if anyone asks you do wii fit once in a while.

>>40367178
How much does your mom weigh?

>need to improve my bleep test score for army officer selection
>distance running is decent but the constant turns and starting again is fucking me
Am I doing the right thing by doing a shitload of power/explosiveness training? For example I've started doing rack jerks this week (not even heavier than my push press right now though, 115kg compared to 105x3) and hang cleans. My thought is that if I can just spring away from the turns and accelerate for a few yards each shuttle I'll cruise it. I tried to keep a constant pace before and it really didn't work.

So I've finally fixed my squat form (recurring lower back pain) and I want to squat 3pl8s

Will linear progression take me there by the end of the year? Or will I need a specific program style.

Current max is 2pl8 at 6ft 4 93kg (calculator says 110kg)

>>40367293
Is this pasta?

>>40367178
"Heavy" is >80% 1RM

HEAVY is ~95% 1RM

>>40367244
Indigestion is really the only potential issue that comes to mind. People have succeeded using 23/1 IF, although I prefer 20/4

>>40366484
Will drinking sperm increase gains?

>>40367247
It takes a while to see visual results. Like 3 months as a general rule. And only then if you're really comparing photos. Also depends on how much you are restricting your calories.

I would do a 2 day split, and lift 4x/week. Either push/pull or upper/lower.

If you have no squat rack, try snatch grip deadlifts, they force you really low. Or you can do Zerchers out of the bench.

The exercises you should load heavily should be a squat pattern (snatch grip deads will do), a hip hinge pattern (conventional deadlift), a horizontal press (bench obviously), a vertical press (OHP, just clean it into the rack position), a horizontal pull (barbell row), a vertical pull (chinups).

Other than that, rest is up to you, can use the curlbar for curls/reverse curls/lying triceps extensions, dumbbells for lateral raises/rows depending on how heavy they are, calf raises holding the barbell should you so desire

>>40367290
It's about the omega 3, and tuna is kind of a mediocre nutrition source due to the mercury. Sardines are bae.

>>40367473
Fair enough; I've been doing that for a week with no stomach issues.

Usually by the end of the day I feel terribly hungry, lunch or no lunch. Skipping lunch so far has been great for not breaking my budget.

>>40367535
the dumbells I can load as much weight as much as I want, thanks for the input though

>>40367298
;)

>>40367458
Thanks. Just what I needed to know

Are Powerlifting programs any good for hypertrophy?
sheiko programs look to have a decent amount of volume and frequency, it looks like you could make pretty natty gainz.

>>40367501

From what I understand, sperm is primarily the kind of protein that gets used by your skin, cartilage, etc, so no.

>>40367712

PL programs typically focus most on strength, but most advanced programs have Volume-focused hypertrophy training mixed in because it helps in the overall goal of strength gains.

If you lift huge and eat huge, you'll get huge off of PL programs.

>>40366728
this is my view, if the aesthetics also strengthen then good if not whatever.

I'm a college wrestler, season just ended. I'm 165 right now, probably close to 15%BF. Rest of the team is now in off season, bulking. Should I bulk with them, or get my summer cut on?

>>40368458

Do you care more about wrestling? Bulk

Do you care more about having abs for summer? Cut

You can't have both as they inherently oppose each-other, so you gotta pick one.

Can someone provide a list of the most commonly used abbreviations for /fit/

Things like
dyel- do you even lift
fph(t)- fat people hate (thread)
plg- powerlifting general
Etc.

Can you build muscle while eating at a deficit if you're still doing weight exercises? Or does the majority of the fuel you take in end up being used for energy expenditure and your muscles just dont build that much.

Is that the whole purpose of bulking? To get mass and muscle, and then cut to decrease body fat percentage?

Recently new to /fit/ lifestyle, and frankly I can't imagine losing weight and getting to a point where I'm happy with my fat % only to then intentionally gain it back for muscle growth.

1) Hypertrophy on Leg Day... Squats or Leg Press? I can push more weight with the press but I hear squats are better.

2) Just got lifting shoes and now my knee hurts a little. Coincidence?

>>40368619
Work on your mobility. Whether it's patellofemaoral pain syndrome (kneecap doesn't track right) or some tendonitis, mobility and ice will help.

Stretch:
- Hip Flexors
- Glutes
- Quadriceps
- Hamstrings
- Calves
- Hip Adductors

And do 15 single leg glute bridges. See if it goes away temporarily after.

>>40366792
Acid to face 3x5 every second day.

>>40367501
>>40367770

Also, it's basically water. You'd need to be very hungry for cock to get enough sperm for gains.

>>40368554

lurk moar

>>40368599

You can build muscle while cutting if you are a complete novice and a fatty, but generally you will lose a small amount of muscle mass when losing weight. The goal is to lift as heavy as you can during this to minimize muscle loss.

Yes, the general premise is to cycle bulking and cutting (or to just leave this world behind and permabulk to get huge).

>>40368619
Leg Press is a deceptive machine. You can put up what look like big numbers, but the 45 degree angle the sled is carried at means the net load on your legs is considerably less than the numbers show. I forget the physics on calculating the exact load given the angle. Another issue is you're not training stabilizers, which are just as important to train as your main muscles.

You're better off just squatting at ~70% for 8-12 for your hypertrophy training. You'll see much better results that way.

How do I make my ribs disappear? I'm in good weight, my abs are starting to get definition and my chest is bulging but my ribs make me look like I'm malnutritioned.

>>40368884
Just so I don't get meme answers, I meant putting muscle in my lower chest / upper stomach so as to make my ribs not appear.

Am I wasting time if I fast for only 12 hours? Hard to fit 14 in my schedule

>>40368884

If your ribs are clearly visible, you are either underweight or not training your serratus/intercostals enough.

Work on getting your bench up sky-high next time you bulk, and maybe consider throwing in dips. Your upper torso will fill out fast.

>>40368903
It takes roughly 12 hours for food to finish processing through your small intestine, so you're not really capitalizing much on being "truly fasted". That doesn't necessarily mean you're wasting your time, but odds are you can do better.

>>40368964
12 hours to digest? Man this isn't easy. I have to eat at 6am so I can work out before going to school. I could manage 14 hours on my days off but not the days I lift. Would fasting 4 days a week give me any benefits?

>>40369008
Yeah, your small intestine is fucking long. Are you just simply not able to eat during the day so you can get your calories during your eating period?

4 days a week is better than no days a week. That being said, it's not like you HAVE to do IF to cut. It just simply helps a lot.

>>40369008
train fasted?

>>40369091
Would I have enough energy? I fucking hate breakfasts honestly but I force myself through them so that I have enough fuel to work out properly. Just a cup of black coffee before work out?

>>40369105

Your body can store a shitload of glycogen, which is the main source of energy during anaerobic training like lifting. You might feel like shit the first few times because you're not used to it, but your body is designed to be able to perform while fasted if needed.

>>40369105
i do fasted training 4 times a week, sometimes on stims, sometimes not, it's usually fine
I do take 10g bcaa beforehand, don't know if necessary or not but *shrug*

>>40369151

Taking some bcaa or just some amount of protein before a fasted workout isn't necessary, but it helps a fair bit because it gives your body something to work with for repairing until you're able to eat a proper meal.

babby home gym fag here

if i run out of weight on a given exercise, is there any real point in adding reps if im only doing 10 reps a set?

if i dont have a squat rack will doing deadlifts instead fuck my shit up in the long run?

how long does it take the average weak, overweight IT fag to develop a respectable amount of muscle?

For a week now I've been feeling my left ear "closes" or "plugs up" (as though I went to the pool and water got in) for some 10-20 min after I finish my workout.
Why can this be?

>tfw sick
>tfw not sure if Im going to be well enough to hit the gym tomorrow

what do guys? I really dont want to have to miss a workout

>>40369184

If you are physically unable to increase the weight further, adding reps or additional sets will help, but not as much as increasing the weight. After a while it becomes more endurance training than strength.

Doing diddlies without squats won't fuck your shit up. It just won't go up as fast since Squat and DL help each-other due to having lots of overlap.

Depends on how fat you are, how hard you train and how strict you are on your diet.

>>40369194
If you don't feel well, don't lift. You risk hurting yourself too much lifting while sick. Missing a workout isn't going to make you shrivel back into a skeleton. If anything, it may do you some good because of extra rest, which is just as important as liftan.

Making tacos. Got ground beef but I drained fat after cooking before seasoning. This ground beef comes from a butcher and I don't know fat content gonna go 80/20 to be safe. Looked more like 85/15. My question is how much does draining the fat affect calories. I can't find a option anywhere on my calorie tracker. My guess is it make it more like 90/10 after fat draining?

>>40369332

Draining the fat reduces the fat content by 30~35%. You can figure out the math yourself with how it works out for you.

>>40368964
Thanks. I still haven't tried to do bench-ups with a barbell, only with dumbbells.

How do I find my starting point for deadlift, bench, and squat, without fucking around with weights forever?

I've been taking Creatine and BCAA for quite some time now as they're the only two supps I believe in. If I hop off is there gonna be any noticeable difference? All my lifts are above 1/2/3/4. It's not that I mind taking them, just don't know if I need to anymore.

>>40369400

Start with a relatively low amount of weight and do a set of 5 reps. If you feel like you weren't sufficiently exhausted, rest a moment and add 10-20 pounds and do another set of 5. Repeat until you find a set that is somewhat difficult but not overly strenuous. If it feels like you're exerting 70~80% of your effort, that's right about where you want to be.

You want your starting weight to be hard, but still have some wiggle room to give you room for improvement. This allows you to capitalize on noob gains without immediately hitting a wall.

>>40369400
>>40369467

I should also mention that it's pretty wise to start with the bar on Squat, and simply add weight 10-20lbs at a time for your first few workouts, and lower the weight jumps at your discretion once it starts to get hard.

Squat is a lift where form is super important to being able to move a lot of weight, and starting with the empty bar gives you time to figure out form and how increasing the weight affects how you need to move to maintain good form.

How to get Aesthetic as FUARK??

>>40369459
Ps I know this is probably a dumb question I just honestly don't remember working out without the two.

Reposting since last thread died before I got an answer. Should I be doing cardio and lifting on the same day, or do cardio on my off days?

I've been doing C25K as a warm up before I lift.

C25K > cooldown walk > stretch > lift > cooldown walk

Should I split these up and do C25K on my off days? I don't really like showering every day, but I'll have to if I'm exercising every day. I'm completely sedentary on my off days currently.

>>40369559

Lift huge and eat huge, and then cut while continuing to lift huge after a year or two.

>>40369459
All Creatine and BCAAs do is improve protein synthesis, which inherently increases muscle growth. The only real change is your gains may slow a bit. You'll also lose a couple pounds of weight (from water) because creatine increases your water retention like crazy.

>>40369593

Cardio of moderate intensity (distance running, etc) is generally okay to do on rest days, but high intensity shit like sprinting and running uphill could fuck with your recovery from liftan.

If you wanna be autistic about the importance of rest (and it IS just as important as lifting), you can always do cardio on lifting days. Just be aware of how it may affect your lifting based on when you do it.

Another thing to be aware of is stacking cardio and lifting on the same day will cause huge spikes in your TDEE on those specific days relative to your rest days, so you will need to eat a fair bit more to make up for it.

>>40369596
Good to hear, gains slowed down a long time ago so that's no biggie. Thanks anon.

ITS VERY IMPORTANT I GET AN ANSWER PLZ

So ive milked my novice gains on SS BUT I got a knee injury. So my squat is still novice compared to my other lifts. How do I transition to an intermediate program with this??

>Think the machines are worthless idea is just a meme
>Decide to try dumbell curls today instead of machine curls
>Been doing machine curls for a month, but these dumbell curls like they're working out so much more than the machines. Might actually have doms tomorrow

I had no idea it was that big of a difference. My gym doesn't have a proper benchpress, so I might try out dumbell presses on Wednesday.

>>40369238
i mean i physically do not own enough weight to add more weight

im not really dieting as much as i am trying to keep to three square meals a day with sensible portion sizes, and no slamming biscuits down my throat.

How can I improve my grip while doing squats? Sometimes I end up putting too much pressure on my wrists and the hurt aftear each set

>>40369181

>>40369782
Use wrist wraps or widen grip

>>40369365
Thanks

>>40369756
I figured that's what you meant so my answer is still relevant. Also, I'd recommend getting MyFitnessPal and inputting everything that enters your mouth into it. It'll help keep you honest on calories.

>>40369782
You really shouldn't need to use your hands much beyond stabilizing the bar on your back. They should not be holding the weight at all. A good way to remind yourself of this is you put your thumbs over the bar to where your wrists are straight without flexion in your hands.

If you're having to support the bar with to keep it on your back, you're doing something horribly wrong

>>40369720
Do SS until you are at 1/2/3/4

Do you guys have any tips for arm hand and shoulder position for low back squat?

It's hard for me to keep my forearm vertical and not breaking my wrist

Also the front of my should hurt after squat

>>40369926
Rippletits has loads of form videos if you haven't already watched them, but it sounds like you have a shoulder mobility issue. Add some shoulder mobility stretches to do at the end of each workout and you should eventually be able to get that tight, narrow grip you're supposed to have

>>40369853
The thing is that when I'm getting under the bar to squat I wrap my hands on the bar first and then I lower myself while still holding the bar, that twists my wrists (sometimes) and when I'm unracking the bar all that weight puts pressure on my twisted wrists

>>40370024
I started at 6" 160. Started lifting and went to 173. Looked like shit so kept lifting and cut to 156 - shredded and looking hot in pics. In clothes I looked like auschwitz.

Bulked to 200 without stopping. So much gains of strength. In clothes I looks massive. Naked I look like shit.

Then start cutting. Currently at 190. Very hopeful.

So if I just focus on upper body stuff and neglect my core and legs am I fucking my body?
I'm not really considering aesthetics but in terms of injuries could I be risking myself in doing so?

The muscle needs rest to repair and grow after lifting. Allow 48 hours between hitting the same muscle groups.

I'm on my 5th day of keto.

Starting weight 355.

I've been eating about 1800 calories a day max, during a 4 hour window in I guess an unintentional IF.

What I usually eat is
3 eggs
2 slices of cheese
4 slices of bacon
3 cups of spinach

Then a shake with coconut oil and a scoop of protein powder.

I jumped on the scale and have lost like 1 lb.

Is this normal? Everywhere I'm seeing is saying you'll piss water weight like crazy and it's not happening.

I'm thinking of sticking with it for a full 2 weeks then seeing what happens but I'm not impressed so far.

I am in Ketosis, I've pissed on a stick and the thing said I have a large amount of ketones.

I did something to hurt my wrist recently. I think it's a bad sprain - whenever I move my thumb or try to bend my wrist back or pull on anything with any real force I get a sharpish pain on the inside of my wrist.

I went to the gym again anyway and I think I hurt it again but I'm not sure. I got ice on it now. You guys think it sounds serious? I don't think anything's broken but it hurts like a bitch when I move it the wrong way.

I had to take a week off for elbow injury. I have been cutting and diet going great. We'll last week I was 187 on Wednesday and 190 today. How I gain 3 lbs over 4 days? Water weight or some shit or does taking week of hurt me that bad

How/when to rotate between cuts and bulks? Do I cut 10 pounds and then bulk 15?

DEADLIFT FORM CHECK SOMEONE FUCKING HELP ME BEFORE I HERNIATE A DISC

I have just incorporated deadlifts into my routine after about 3 months of solid lifting, so i'm currently starting with 1 plate so I don't snap my shit up. I thought I could do 205 easily and once I tried that, my back rounds even more than this picture and I feel a pain in my lower back to the left of the small in my back as I set the bar back down, so I deloaded and will work my way up from 135.

The problem is this is the best starting position I can manage for this lift. I do not wear any shoes for this lift, I try and lift my chest up and arch my back, but I cannot seem to get rid of the rounding. Is this a problem? How do I fix this? I watched Thralls video and he said to do romanian deadlifts because my back rounding was a result of weak hamstrings, and I would imagine that's the case as I seem to have butt wink in this picture. I also have scoliosis if that matters, but not extreme.

Someone please help me, I really want to do deadlifts but it's pretty discouraging when I can't even get the starting position right on such a low weight. Will I ever be flexible enough to perform these without snapping my shit up?

Is there any chance getting sick boosts test levels? Woke up with a cold at 8 am, and by 2 pm I had jerked off 4 times, each time with a massive erection. I also took my normal walk to and from class, and was a lot less tired than I normally get.

It stands for 1 plate OHP, 2 plate bench, 3 plate squat, 4 plate bench + bar which is:

135lb Overhead Press
225lb Bench
315lb Squat
405lb Deadlift

Have worked out for a little while (few years) but have always had appreciable fat especiallly around stomach. I've never had a flat stomach but have lost weight and it's to a point where it is a smallish layer covering my middle. When i loose enough weight, does my stomach become completey flat? And then I need to loose more after it's flat for abs yes?

>>40369859
Don't listen to this idiot it depends on weight, height strength and genetics. Only do this if you just want to eat a lot and become a big fat powerlifter.

How can I get rid of hemorrhoids without resorting to surgery?

>>40370567
Anyone?

>>40370877
drink more water
eat more fiber
stop blowing your ass out straining
ask your doctor for proctozone or similar creams
get a squatty potty
if you don't shit in the first minute, get off the shitter and try again later

i had some pretty bad hemorrhoids and fissures from being a prostitute (srs) and 2 years of strict pooping healed them. no surgery needed

Your lower back looks flattish. It is through the mid to upper where you're fucked. Shoulders back and down before even getting in position, lock them there. Bend your knees more. Almost get into atg position, then raise butt until you feel load in hamstrings, not tightness, just load.

From a pic; that's about all the advice/queues to think about.

So work whole back strength.

Is fapping bad for you? Is it ok without porn? Is it bad that it takes me ages to find the ' right' stuff. Does it make me feel tired and depressed, or am I just an autist virgin fag? Is it bad for my gains? I heard that too much can lower testosterone or cutting down increases it.

No healthy normal person has masturbated, ever, not even once. Masturbation is also 100% the source of every problem you just listed and the ones you didn't. It's why you have no motivation, why you have no interpersonal skills, why you have no ambition, why your lifts are stalling, and why you aren't fulfilling your dreams. It's completely the answer you want for your various issues and failings.

>>40371330
>Is fapping bad for you?
Once or twice a week is fine

>Is it ok without porn?
If you're gonna, better to use your imagination

>Is it bad that it takes me ages to find the ' right' stuff.
Yes. Remember when you used to get rock hard at the smallest peek at a clothed sideboob? It can be like that again.

>Does it make me feel tired and depressed, or am I just an autist virgin fag?
It certainly doesn't help.

>Is it bad for my gains? I heard that too much can lower testosterone or cutting down increases it.

Yeah you will feel more motivated to lift on nofap.

How do I make sure I'm losing fat and not water weight?

>>40371388
Stop wall water intake for over a week.

Am I good to eat 3-4 meals a day without counting calories? I normally just eat when I'm hungry.
For example
I wake up at 7-8 am and eat about 55g of oats with 500ml of whole milk and usually a banana or 4 weetabix and same amount of milk + banana. For lunch I'll have a sandwich (pretty packed out with either cheese, lunchmeat or peanut butter). At 3pm I'll eat another hefty sandwich. I eat my dinner at around 6/7pm, all depends on when my mum cooks it. From there I'll probably eat another sandwich depending on how hungry I get before I go to bed usually around 10-12pm.

At the minute I'm not working and just working out at home doing bodyweight shit. When I did a period of ICF 5x5 before and doing a construction job I never counted my calories either but still made decent gains by just eating proteiny, non sugary, calorie dense foods when I was hungry. I'd have a protein shake in the morning with 50g of whey and 350ml of milk a big tuppaware of tuna pasta or chicken pasta or 2 sandwiches (4 slices of bread) and then I'd come home and eat my dinner made by my mum and eat after that if I was still hungry until I went to bed. Am I doing this right?

Did human beings used to masterbate? I'm pretty sure apes don't. People were stoned to death for doing such things in ancient times. Is it an advantage of the age we live in? Does it give us some control over our more primitive behaviour so we can reach more complex higher planes of thought and seek out things other than sex? Would not doing it at all give me the most amount of energy and drive? Would it be the most natural, like eating unprocessed foods ? Or is the anything in moderation rule the answer?
Most sources sexual health info say it's OK. Will not fapping at all turn me into a super human or fuck up my brain?

When squatting, I have trouble understanding what people mean when they say to keep your knees out as far ass possible. What exactly does 'out' mean? Are you supposed to rotate your legs 'out' so that if you are looking down at them, your left leg turns counter-clockwise and you right leg clockwise? Can someone help me visualize this?

You're weighing food but not counting calories?
You're buying protein poweder and still not counting calories or macos?

You're doing the part of eating that takes the most effort and skipping the easy and most important part; keeping track of the calories.

>three fucking sandwiches

just count your calories bread boy. it takes collectively 10 minutes a day to punch your food in to an app or write it down in a notebook. i used to eat peanut butter and trailmix because i thought it was healthy before misc told me i was eating 4k cal a day making myself fat

>>40371789
the weights are educated guesses. I guess I'll just start counting calories and prepping my meals, it will make it easier and cheaper.

I don't feel it in my quads when I squat. They feel sore after I finish them but I don't feel them being activated enough during the actual exercise to comment about it.

Anybody had any luck with fixing APT? I've been doing some stretches I found online for it every night and before workouts, and I've been sleeping on my back with one pillow but it's starting to actually cause me pain, which it never did before I started lifting.

In which order would a dyel want to start at? Getting muscle but lack cardio? Mix? Cardio before muscle to start boxing/judo?

>>40372154
All at the same time. Lifting and cardio are essential for physical sports.

been bulkin for 1.5 years. 174 cm started as 100 kg.
i am on a keto diet for a week now with 600-650 cals deficit. bought keto sticks and turns out i am doing a good job.
my question is i have been losing 1 kg a day. i know i should be losing water weight but i dont know if losing 1 kg is normal. is it normal ? i was expecting may be 0.5 kgs. as you can imagine i am 95 kg right now

can you take yohimbine on rest days?

Why should I care about the fibre content of my diet? I get that it makes you feel full and helps prevent you from feeling like shit when your cutting, but beyond that I see no purpose for it. Is it even medically necessary?

>>40372169
It will slow down. Don't worry.

>>40372224
If you don't do cardio to metabolize the free fatty acids that yoh mobilizes, then they will just redeposit.

>>40372905
Yes. Feeds your microbiome, decreases amplitude of insulin response, protective against colon cancer, provides for greater protein absorption (increasing from as low as 70% with aminos alone to 99% with fiber)

>>40372224

Do you enjoy being a sweaty mess?
As long as you dont mind being drenched in sweat and doing light walking with it I dont see why not?
Probably the best use of it?

What some great core exercises? Spine injury of some kind from squatting/deadlifting. Working through the issue. Could squat 135 without pain after a lengthy work up. Spending some time working on chests/core to kickstart them to keep it from lagging.

>>40372953
Deadbugs are a good way to work around injury

I'm following a routine which includes rest day every other day, but I'm neet and have nothing better to do, so I feel like I could skip rest days. Is this a good idea or is rest day really that important, even if I don't work out that hard?

>>40366484
Can someone explain this tendies meme going around? I don't get it.

>>40372984
>Deadbugs

Oh, whats the thing the people are doing after deadlifts? I had been doing dead hangs every other set to decompress spine normally.

Had minor nerve involvement before, but thats since gone away. Probably herniated a disk some so anything to work that disk and get it reabsorbed sounds great.

which option should I choose- 6 hours of sleep, or not making my bulking calories

Yesterday, I ate an entire 500g Ben & Jerry's tub putting me at about a +1600 calorie surplus for the day.
What exactly is the damage?

>>40373508
you should eat your calories in 30mins like a man then sleep

>>40373561
to late

>>40373552
Some of the excess protein will be used to repair muscle (assuming you worked out). Some of the excess carbs and fat will be used for energy to repair those muscles. Most of the excess calories will be stored as glycogen and mostly fat. The large amount of simple sugar spiked your insultin and negatively no acted your insultin receptors, though that would take years of constant occurrence to lead to complications. The large amount of saturated and trans fats will lead to some excess LDL in your blood, which again, will only lead to consequences in cases of prolonged constant exposure. All in all, it doesn't matter. Just lift hard tomorrow and don't eat a tub of ice cream (or anything equivalent) every day.

>>40372905
Yes dumbass. It slows sugar absorption, which protects against insulin resistance. It prevents bike from being recycled which forces your liver to make more from your blood cholesterol which will lower your LDL and raise your HDL. And it'll make your shits regular and easy to pass. Eat your damn fiber.

That's where I fucked up I trained on longer distances.

Silly question but bear with me.
Does strength training complement archery...?

Other than OHP are lat raises the best thing for bigger delts? Purely from a visual point of view, I just want them bigger.

Can I ever workout again I got a bulged disc in m lowrr back months ago and it still hurts

>>40373773
no
with archery you're trying to take out as many muscles out of your movement and rely on joint/bone synergies much more since they are over time more predictable/relieable and unmoving

i don't think it hampers it though

>>40373801
I do ohp with a grip like it is described in the book
feels like hitting the lateral part nore. I have huge shoulders without ever doing lateral raises

>>40373806
For recovery you need a strong lower back so lightweight deadlifts with good form is what you need to do

>>40373847
But will it heal it isn't herniated just bulging

I'm weak and fat so chinups are really tough. I use the assist machine with like 115 pounds of assist and I still can barely crank out 8 reps of 3 sets, should I set the assist higher or just struggle these out as much as I can do more with my strength increasing and my weight going down.

The part on the side of my abs is empty on the upper side. On the lower side I have obliques, but right under the ribs its basically empty. Is it normal? What muscles should be there?

If you do squat and deadlift on the same day, one of them will surely suffer because of the other.

At least only do light squats the day you deadlift, and only do 1x5 once a week

>>40374443
If you have genetic predisposition to mpb creatine will make it speed up a wee bit but as you are destined to become bald anyway fuck it and take the recommended 5g or none at all you pussy.

Whatever you want dude, there's no correct rep range for anything. I just did 11 sets of 5 deadlifts with 485 and I'm hoping to hit 700 this year.

You can look into some very basic periodisation, start with higher reps and more volume and adjust it over the course of a training cycle until you're hitting some heavier lower reps, then reset and do it all over.

How to use more of my chest when bench pressing? Im using a thumbs right outside of my shoulder grip, and I think I got the tucked in elbow part down too, but I tried just the bar yesterday to check form and I felt it mainly on my triceps

How about just running? It won't affect your bulk/gains as long as you're eating/lifting how you should be.

In terms of getting a faster run time, go for a timed 2 mile run, and run as fast as you fucking can. After you know your time, follow this article's advice for improving your time. http://www.elon.edu/docs/e-web/academics/elon_college/rotc/Training_to_Max_PT.pdf

Should I drink a liter of goat milk a day?

>>40375508
I kinda was like that (not 6K though), and counting calories really helped. Also, drinking tea, and having more smaller meals seems to help (like 5 or 6 a day, prepped weekly).
Or keep some celery sticks as snacks. I don't think it would be humanely possible to eat just 1kcal of celery in a day (that would be about 7 and a half kilos, or 16.5 pounds).

Why does it feel like my knees are going to split when I squat but not when I do the leg press machine?

>>40375561
Well what kind of grip exercises are you doing exactly? When you cut off circulation to any of your extremities because of an exercise you're doing I would urge you to carefully re-evaluate the following points:

A) Whether or not the exercise is actually beneficial and conducive to what you're trying to accomplish (i.e. building grip strength). If there's a more common exercise you can do to accomplish that mission, do that instead (i.e. deadlifts)
B) Is my form correct?

>>40370068
Are you doing front squats? Because if you are doing back squats there is no reason you should be unracking the weight with your wrist. If you are doing front squats then lift the weight off the rack with your shoulders not your wrist. Its a leg exercise so your wrist should only be balance support. No force should be applied to it.

What are some acceptable times for 1 mile and 5 mile runs?

>>40373801
Lateral raises, and read delt flies. With OHP you got all you need and can just do that over and over. You also dont need to go super heavy on lat raises, go with a comfortable weight.

>>40375805
Anytime. As fast as you can. Improvement is the only acceptable element.

>>40375828

Is lower back being exhausted always a sign of bad squat form? It will be worn out for a couple days after I squat. I think I have good form though, I definitely try to.

If I want to start liftan do I go sign up for a fucking gym asap and get to work with some shit like SS or SL or is there some way to ease into it even more since I don't want to fuck my shit up enough to miss judo class.

See when you are cooking with wine, you generally pour it in to the dish with the meat and veg before adding sauce and cook on a medium high heat and boil all the alcohol off.

How does this affect the calories in the dish as a whole? Will boiling the alcohol off reduce them, or is it the same regardless?

More of a curiosity thing than anything, I don't use that much so don't really care either way

>>40375949
Just do SS (forget about SL) and eat a lot. You should be gaining weight. If it gets hard after 2-4 months as written, just do it twice per week.
After your second stall switch to HLM, as described in practical programming 3°ed. Read the books.

Also, should I get a tan? Will it make me look more defined, or will I just be wasting my time?

Am I a retard for thinking that cutting down from 166 to 146 for 10% body fat at 6'0" a good idea? On paper 10% sounds good but when I think about what that would look like and the health of it, I fear the skelly mode especially in summer. Would 15% be better, or just go into bulking?

Barbell shrugs and curls. The latter doesn't really work on grip as much, but I still eventually feel and see circulation get cut off to my fingers. Am I supposed to let the weight rest under my palms, with my wrists curled? I can't think of any other reasonable way to hold the weight other than knuckles parallel to the floor

>>40376030

Why does my shoulder blade feel weird? Its not pain or soreness, it kind of just feels stretched when I try to relax my back

>>40371563

Hey do you know why my foot feels weird? I'm not going to provide you with any relevant information such as events preceding said weird feeling, but I still expect you to give me some sort of answer because I'm too fucking stupid to ask a competent question.

Woke up sick this morning.. Lifted as usual. Now I'm on the couch and seriously considering calling into work. I felt okay working out, but it left me quite drained. Can you rest most of the day otherwise? If you have to save some energy for your day, maybe take the work out day off.
Also, been reading about this a bit:
>Above the neck symptoms (cold): go for it.
>below the neck (flu, and what I'm experiencing now): take it easy.
Feel better, man.

Is this workout a meme or is it really good for beginners?
If so how long should I do it before moving to something else and how long will it take for me to see results?

Forgot to mention that I did barbell rows yesterday, as well as lat pull downs and hang from the bull up bar for a bit to stretch out my spine and stuff, was only doing the bar for barbell rows, it feels good to push the shoulder blade back in if that makes sence

I've recently been looking at alan thralls videos, he goes into some detail as to what and what not to do

My right knee cracks whenever I squat down. It's scaring me.

are there different kinds of carbs? today I changed from my usual protein bars/fruit carbs to some crackers and I look a lot bigger and fuller. I am cutting but managed to get 250g of carbs

>>40376391
So lets get this right. You did an exercise that would have utilized the area that "feels weird" and you're some how confused as to why it feels weird today? If it's not hurting, did you ever think that maybe it's just tired? Where do you fucking people come from.

i am cutting right now on a ppl routine. before cutting i was doing pplxpplxpplx
now i am on a cut i feel like i should go everyday. pplpplppl.

I'm doing canditos power/control upper lower split and I'm kinda feeling like shit today.
If I feel better tomorrow would it be okay to do a heavy upper day, then a control lower on thursday and a control upper on friday?

I fucking hate eggs but i try to eat 4 a day for breakfast because it's cheap low-carb protein.

Trying to figure out a way to eat them whole without tasting them and considering dipping them in canola oil so they slide down easy. Any better ideas?

I'm looking to join the marines and I'm trying to increase my cardio as fast as possible, so I've bought cardarine. Capsule form.

Can someone who has used a capsule form of cardarine give me a rundown?

Should I workout once or twice a day?

I'm having some sharp pain just left of my sternum, like my ribs hurt in the middle - have any of you guys ever had this? Any ideas on getting rid of it?

>>40377060
I'd get that sometimes when I used to box, it was related to the ribs somehow. Nothing serious and just needed a little rest if it was the same thing

>>40376773

If you poach them they're really easy to swallow whole and don't taste like much

>>40377086

Thanks man I'll try that

>>40376733
pls respont

>>40376737
Does your body feel like shit? Or are you mentally feeling like shit? If its just your mind, get your fuck ass to the gym. If your body is actually feeling like shit you may want to move the workout or simply use the next few days to deload/relax.

When I say your body, I don't mean you think you might have a cold. I mean your actually puking or your so sore you think you could actually hurt yourself by lifting heavy. Otherwise your better off doing the plan as laid out. The extra recovery day between the power/control days allows you to recover better.

>>40377113
You would be retarded not to have rest days. If you were bulking or maintaining doing pplpplx is fine but on a cut, doing anything more then that is stupid. The way you were doing it pplxpplx I think is better way to approach it for cutting.

IF you for some reason think you don't need a rest day, there are two things you can do. The first, is to use the rest day to do some LISS cardio to fill in the time you would otherwise be working out.

The other option.....Push yourself you fucking bitch. If you honestly don't feel like you need any rest days and your on a cut, then your lifting like a little bitch and your not adequately stressing your system.

When is it okay to move in with a girl?

>>40377006
Once. Its to easy to blow off the 2nd session. And if you simply want to double your workload by doing two "full" sessions on the same day then you need to push yourself more during the first one.

Is this where i start taking steroids?

>>40377206
nah it's where you post your program and diet for input and correction

injecting horse hormones in to your dick won't help a lot if you're not lifting gud

So I've been cycling on a regular basis for a longer time now but what I've recently started to notice is that after every ride my leg muscles are pretty sore, and the soreness comes even while I ride and this is quite new to me, it's lot like the kind of soreness you get the next day after working out, this soreness goes away a few hours after my ride, what's happening?

>>40377173
Would it be better to do one cardio session in the morning and one lifting session in the afternoon?

>>40377338
That is the method I think works bests (or at least did for me). I do recommend mostly LISS in the morning if your also doing to lift later in the day. On non-training days HIIT is acceptable but I am just not a big fan of doing HIIT and lifting on the same day, others might be but sucked for me in my experience.

>>40377137
It's a nasty cold, I'm really fucking weak right now, but I tend to recover in a day. I guess I'll do what I said

How the fuck do I get the hang of the form of deadlifts? In my gym there's no one that actually lifts weights, just bodybuilding cunts so nobody to help me. I stopped doing deadlifts because my form was complete shit and I didn't want to snap some shit up. Today I did 1pl8 deadlifts (fucking pathetic) and got a set of 5 reps with horrendous form, what the fuck is wrong with my body? I can bench more than I deadlift.

if you had to choose between weighted dips and weighted push ups as your main chest/tricep excercise which one would you go for?
what about 1 handed push ups?

im currently saving for a home gym but for now i have some dumbbells and a back pack and im currently weak enough that i can probably still get an effective work out this way

>>40377893

Add an accessory exercise to be done after the main lifts. A fantastic one for specifically shoulders is heavy fucking lateral raises 8-12. Shoulders are weak bitches and you need to really fucking hammer them to keep them growing.

Is there any point to lifting for physique while being a skinny dyel or should I try to pack some general mass on first?

Welcome to /fit/, here's some actual advice. Get some meat on your bones and focus on building some basic strength first. This is essentially the goal of Rippetoe's "GOMAD" program, however I found eating a pound of pasta a day to have been much more effective than drinking a gallon of milk. It's up to you.
When you're skelly mode, lifting might make you look a bit more chiseled, but you'll still be a lanky skelly at the end of the day and nobody is impressed by 10 inch arms no matter how lean you are. Get some general mass, fill it up with muscle and then when you're a respectable size, go on a cut with the intention of getting somewhere under 12% body fat. Good luck

>>40366484
My herniated disc pains are back after 1 month of lifting and 1 year of rehab - should I hang myself or jump off the bridge? I heard good things about guillotine but I can't spend that much time to build it.

>>40376073
Change bf% by adding lbm through lifting instead. 146 at your height would be atrocious. The nerve of some people...
