What exercises can I do to fix forward head posture, I look like a fucking chicken

>>41069347
https://youtu.be/LT_dFRnmdGs
Also just conscientiously keep your head up and back to it becomes habit.
If you also need to fix shoulder posture add 3x20 facepulls to your routine, don't go too heavy and you want to feel the burn in your posterior deltoid.

Got some preworkout coming today lads, holding off on working out till it arrives hoping to up my max rep by 5-10
am I stupid, if so why? I'm not tolerant to stimulants at all so should respond well to it

>>41069421
Preworkouts should mostly increase your work capacity and endurance not muscle strength, eg. instead of adding 5kg you will have the energy to do another set, but more work more gains so yea you will lift heavier in the long run

>>41069430
sweet I only plan on using it every other day for 1-3 months (depending on gainz) should I worry about tolerance buildup I went for C4 preworkout

injured left arm
is it okay to just work on right arm for a few months?(say 6 - 12, its kinda serious) will the unevenness be too noticeable?

>>41069201
I have a Jack Russel, Dachshund and a corgi German shepard mix.
They're all solid dogs but dogs take alot of work.

>>41069421
If you have been taking creatine don't expect a direct strength increase. The most basic pwo ingredients aka beta-alanine, citrulline malate and taurine mostly increase vasodilation(citrulline) increase carnosine saturation and decrease lactic acid buffering (beta-alanine and taurine in synergy) so it's mostly for a good pump and increase in endurance and somewhat better recovery/gains.

>>41069444
I don't think you can build up a tolerance to things like that, either way every other day wont build up an increase.

>>41069451
a few months difference is quite a lot, it would be worse to lose strength in both arms though, you could try lighter weights with one arm just to try and maintain.

>>41069464
I'm willing to put in the work, i really desperately want one, i keep seeing them everywhere ever since, is it worth it anon?

>>41069503
I haven't been on anything no creatine no whey no bcaas nothing, so I'm going from 0mg of creatine to 1000mg

>>41069563
optimal creatine amount is 3g a day, and no you cant become resistant to it. With only 1g every 3 days im not sure you will notice too much of a difference if at all.

>>41069578
are there any powders I should mix in with the preworkout if I'm at the beginner level? like should I buy some creatine?

>>41069587
Bit more creatine wouldn't go amiss, but i would reccomend taking 3g a day regardless of your preworkout instead of mixing. make sure its creatine monohydrate which is the pure form rather than one with loads of other shit in it.

>>41069600
alright I'll pick up some creatine, so 3g a day even when I'm getting 1g from the preworkout so on preworkout days have 4g total?

>>41069612
Yea there is no harm in having too much creatine, it will just get pissed out and waste some of your money, i guess you could get down to 2g per day when you take preworkout but when the amounts are that low there is more room for error in the measurements

>>41069625
alright man thanks for all the help

>>41069201
In an SS routine, I know to do accessory lifts after the main compound lifts. Does the same matter for pullups/dips?

I do all my sqauts ATG and I do have a little bit of butt wink. This hasn't really been a big problem so far because I'm not using a huge amount of weight yet (3x10 75kg max after slowly working my weight up each warm-up). But I can feel it in my lower back when I go up. It's just the muscles though and I feel nothing in my spine or something. My question is if I should just build a solid base of strength for my lower back by doing lighter weight squats and deads before I go really heavy in the future, or should I start squating less deep?
My hamstring flexibility is quite good btw so I don't think there is a lot of room for improvement there (I have been doing gymnastics for years).

>>41069509
It's worth it. You must take leadership. One master in the house. That's how it works. One person must be designated to feed and walk the dogs. The dogs then know who the boss is. That's how you reap the benefits. You get in what you put out. Be stern, but fair and don't forget to love them.

>>41069652
yes, even more so for pullups/dips because these are quite taxing so do them between your compounds and your accessories.

>>41069860
do you still end up being stern with them even after years of training and stuff?

>>41069777
Stretch abductors, try a wider stance, add in weighted back hyperextensions. Prioritize form over weight, don't mess yourself up.

What do you mix creatine in? Will just water do?

>>41069970
mix it with water and it tastes like fucking sand.
mix it with any other drink, and that drink becomes sandy.
its a lose/lose situation so just chug it down however you can.

oh, dont mix it with anything fizzy; it bubbles up.

>>41069910
>pullups/dips
Thank you for the feedback, anon.

>>41070001
Okay, thank you.

How come I can deadlift 117.5 kg for 5 reps but when I go to deadlift 120 kg I can't even get the bar off the ground? Is it just a mental issue?

>>41070399
yes and no, try mixed grip to get it off the ground then switch back to double overhand once mentally you know you can do it.

Do I need to take rest days for more low-impact workouts? I've started walking 6+ miles a day, for the last week, outside of my regular routine to help burn calories for my cut and I'm unsure of whether I should take a rest day or not for it.

>>41070476

I ease it off over time once they're fully trained. Best course of action to be honest. Dogs are loyal creatures and god have mercy on anyone who fucking dares enter my backyard. They would rip them to shreds. I want that protection in my life. Also pic related are my doggos

are sports drinks like powerade or something a meme or a scam or do they actually work?

LOL I love dogs too brah, but that aint happening with those runts. I guess the barks will alert you though

unless you're an olympic athlete then they're over kill.
but if you're set on making the most of your fluid intake use hydralyte. its much more effective ,but not too often or your sodium levels will go through the roof.

Can I do more than 30mins of cardio to drop BFP without losing my gains? Will the body start getting rid of fat before muscle?

>>41070621
Nothing gets those natty olympic gainz like electrolytes

A :
squat
bench press
rowing

B :
squat
overhead
deadlift

I heard push press helps a lot improving overhead performance.
Where should I add it? In A, B or both?

>>41070623
dont bother, if you want to lower your bfp do HIIT cardio its better than grinding out for 30 mins

>>41070583
gonna start looking for sellers and picking a breed, thanks anon and nice dogs

>>41070657
Stick it on A, also if those are in the order you do them i would suggest doing deadlifts first on B, and maybe add a few accessories its quite an empty routine.

as someone that used to walk for 4 hours a day 5 days a week, yes definitely. I'm not sure how far 6mi is
>>41070399
try taking a week off deadlifting, do other exercises though

Am I just genetically disadvantaged with legs? I hit them 3 times per week, first lift, form on point and yet they are slow to gain strength in, I only do 80kg squats for 5 reps where as I bench 80kg, row 100kg and deadlift 140kg. I have no idea why my squats are lagging behind, all my other lifts are going up, bench, row etc. I'm eating enough and sleeping enough but that doesn't seem to work. I hear how people start straight squatting 100kg in like a month and increase with 5kg each time but I'm lucky to increase 2.5kg after a week. Thanks for the help.

left tricep tendon hurts during the eccentric of ohp. this also happens during the negaticlve of dips. i can hear the tendon moving over the olechranon. what do?

>>41070780
what sets, 3x5, 5x5?
got a form video?
how tall are you?
are you grinding out the last few reps?
lowbar highbar?
are you doing any heavy cardio/walking alot?

>>41070747
>that belly

she'll never make it.

Does it matter how you take creatine? Some retards keep saying that you need to take it with warm water as it needs to dissolve but I just chug it down with normal cold water.
I mean it dissolves in your stomach anyway right as long as I take it.

>>41069201
Is it bad is I'm doing 8x3 or more when the routine says that it should be done 5x3?

I feel like there's still some gas left in the tank when I'm doing 5x3, but not enough to increase the weights (especially not on ohp).

>>41070839

>>41070452

tendon injuries are no joke, you probbably have microtears already.
RICE it and take care.

>>41070845
you mean eight sets of three?
I think you need to rethink your routine unless this is advanced progression on higher weights. either way post your program ill have a look.

I recommend just getting a stray, not some breed, strays live longer and healthier lives, no special food needed either. Have a friend who's gone through the passing of 2 or 3 dogs(bred) while mine has lived healthily for the whole time.

Any tips for correcting knee caving in a low bar squat? My weighted warm ups feel good but when I get to my work sets my knees come on on the ascent. I've tried working with a band but it didn't really get me anywhere.

>>41070859
if your struggling to get it off the floor you need to practice getting it off the floor.
do 3x5 / 5x5 deficit deadlifts
start with 50% of your working weight and work your way up to when the bar starts to slow down

to deficit deadlift you are just gonna load up the bar like normal but you are going to stand yourself on a plate or two to raise yourself higher than normal compared to the bar. be super careful about your form, film it every time.

>>41070881
give me your numbers

>>41070892
are there not problems with strays like training issues eg biting, not housetrained? what would be a good age for a stray and where did you get yours, if your in the uk?

>>41070914
you need to force your knees outwards, really really try to push them out and deload till you get perfect form

Anyone use powerlift 3? Are they as good 2?

>>41071100
that routine is not gonna do anything special for your lifts, if you really have plateaued i suggest switching to 5/3/1 or texas method. even if you dont want to switch the whole thing up definitely switch bench to 3x5 and for ohp im gonna paste a progression thing for u:

>Basically they trained at mostly around 85% for 1-3 reps, at 6-12 sets with rest typically lower than you're used to at around 2min, across 3 (minimum) to 5 max days per week and tested max every 1-4 weeks before adjusting max to reflect the new weight.

>A typical routine from the pre-roid era that was recommended by the British Amateur Weightlifting Association for an intermediate:
>150lbs/67.5kg max press
>110 x 3x3
>120 x 3x3

>140 x 3x1

>>41071197
if its still recent don't touch it, its better to lose your pr's than be a cripple forever.
Otherwise you could replace squats with leg press temporarily.
For keeping your deads pr im not sure its possible if your avoiding using your back but possibly, try heavy chest supported rows, as heavy as you can go, so its using a lot of your back, lats and arms, just like a diddly.

>>41069201
Jack Russell would probably be best. They're small but energetic so they can live in a small house but love to go for walks and runs. They're pretty smart when it comes to training too.

When I do biceps curls above my usual weight I feel a pain in my forearms, specially the bone on the outside, just below the elbow. Is this normal or am doing wrong?

>>41071315
don't do ss the progress is wayyy to fast for someone coming out of an injury, i don't know what your normal routine is. either way once you have recovered form must take priority over ALL. your physio / doc or whatever may tell you to avoid diddlys or squats afterwards, better safe than sorry. either way you can see how well it recovers and dont worry about it, deadlifts are the most efficient exercise for hitting loads of different muscles, doesn't stop you hitting them all separately though

>>41071325
possibly the tendon, ice it after every session and progress slowly, tendons take a lot more time to get stronger than muscles do

>>41069201
I've been doing SL for about a month and a half now, and have been incorporating some upperbody excercises (barbell curls, tricep pushdowns, lateral raises, and lat pulldowns). Should I include anything else? Am I hitting all the major muscle groups?
What ab exercises should I be doing?

>>41071392
swap lat pulldowns for pullups
swap tricep pushdowns for dips
get to 3x8 then + weight and do 3x5

if you cant do either of them, do negatives till you can

keep the curls and lat raises, add plank 3x1min &or ab roller 3xwhatever for abs.
add possibly another curl variation 1x a week (hammer curls?)

What muscle group should I work out today? First reply is what I'll do.

its not inherently bad for your knees, that said if you do struggle with knee issues avoid squats because they are not "good" for your knees either. If you actually have knee issues i would recommend you cycle instead.

Thanks a lot, anon. And just to be clear, so you mean to do the calisthenics training on the same day of the last gym train session of the week or in the day after? Example: if my gym days are monday, wednesday and friday, the calisthenics are done friday or saturday?

>>41073862
try it out, if your workout is heavy on friday you may not have the energy to do it, or you may want an extra day spent working out, either of them you should do it saturday, otherwise friday.

grab the bar with straight arms, try pulling yourself up without bending your arms by using your back.
ingrain that movement into your mind and do it during your pullups, it will give you better back activation and more gainzz

Anyone knows what happened to Candito? he's been mia for a year or so on youtube.

>>41074180
Thanks anon, that should help quite a bit.

femanons, how do you react when you see a guy in the gym who has an objectively taller/stronger/more aesthetic body than your bf?

how i can build a sixpack in 6 months?

if anime girls can get ripped, so can i

>>41074281
I go "oh, that looks nice" and carry about my business.

>>41074296
HIIT & plank + ab roller & count calories, tdee-500

>>41074324

so why are you with your bf if his body is inferior?

>>41074355
Because I like him the way he is.

>>41074394

that literally makes no sense. why are you settling for a physically inferior male?

doing plank is a bitch but i can do that. besides arnold scwharzenegger used to say when you feel the move thats when youre getting results and should keep going so basically no pain no gain

>>41074421
Because I like his plump belly, soft chest and round butt. I recognize that say, a bear mode is more attractive but a guy who looks like that would have a lifestyle that is very different from what I'd like my partner to have.

heres a plank progression do it 3x a week,
eg:
week1=3x12
means you plank for 3 sets of 12 seconds, and like i said before do that 3x a week and move on to the next week. Make sure you only rest 1.5 minutes between sets, keep it strict.

by the end when you are reaching 5x60 it will be fucking boring but hey you gotta put the work in.

>>41070399
get some chalk

>>41074505
hmm im not sure you have enough muscle to do a proper cut, what are your lifts like?

>>41074540

i mean i don't really lift i do a lot of walking and lift boxes at work and do some medieval LARP also

I'm a fucking loser who still won't get hired by decent jobs because i'm still in "school",
can't afford going to the gym at all.
what the fuck can i do to get fit? if anyting, i'm okay with waiting till i get a good job to be able to afford it. but what can i do in the mean time?
Is there anything other than running around my area to get some fitness into my life?

>>41074567
if you dont lift there is no reason at all to bulk, do some cardio, eat a bit less and do some pushups & pullups every day and you should get lean in a few months. and no, lifting boxes at work is not enough lifting for a bulk.

>>41074770
get yourself a bodyweight routine and do some cardio.
For cardio i recommend a HIIT routine, google "bodybuilding.com 8 week hiit"
for bodyweight routines:
1) reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness
2) /fit/ catalog > search for /bwg/

>>41074770
I've never heard a company not hire someone they want because they're in school, but the simple answer is to only apply for jobs within your hours and just not tell them. Failing that-

Work for yourself
Make money online
Make money on the street
Make money doing neighbourhood shit
etc

>Is there anything other than running around my area to get some fitness into my life?
Clisthetics, bodyweight exercise, running, rowing, swimming, sports, martial arts etc

>>41074505
>Cut
You have ZERO muscle, why the fuck would you cut?

Bulk below and then at maintenance.and stop being stupid

>>41074902
>>41074920
Thanks guys, i really appreciate the help.

and believe it or not
>thank you for giving me this great opportunity
>oh wow anon, you are awesome
>get email 1 hour later saying, we'd love to have you on our team, but you are still in School
>apply for shitty jobs like cashier
>only get 1 shift a week atmost or never hear from them ever again
Literally can't do shit related to my degree until i graduate university.

I... it's okay that I'm slow with my sets right? I'm still practicing form and I have to go down a mental checklist before each rep ( and I still forget to breathe half the time ).

How the hell do I understand your lingo people,
How the fuck do I start with this shit.
Why are people telling me the pinned thread is shit.
Where do I get all the information about how to understand you that doesn't have me put in years of lurking and waste years of my life just wishing I was /fit/?

Can years of natty lifting as a woman change my natural testosterone levels or am I just suffering from some hormonal issue?

I think my clitoris has enlargened, I struggle with skin issues (pimples) and my voice is low. I think my gains are pretty decent for a woman too. Not sure if should be concerned.

>>41075320
Read the fucking sticky.

>>41075278
nah just see how it goes but plan on going heavy

>>41075288
yes thats fine, form should be the number one priority

>In young, healthy women, resistance exercise can induce transient increases in testosterone, and anthropometric markers of adiposity correlate with testosterone concentrations.

>clitoris has enlargened
not test related and honestly i have no idea

>skin issues (pimples)
pimples are not an effect of high test, acne maybe, but not pimples

>my voice is low
possibly yes but it could also be some other factors like neck muscle, lung capacity .. im not really sure, this is more of a doctor question.

i would say don't stop lifting but if you really want to, you should see a endocrinologist

Are wrist curls/extensions dangerous? Should I just do farmer's walks and hangs instead?

>>41075248
Lift while eating the same amount of calories as you expend daily or less. Read the sticky and start lifting you tit

>>41075454
>>41075341
I already fucking did,
It says shit about body types and specialized routines. It's all just vague shit that I presume everyone should do.

>>41075485
what are you looking for then?

>>41075485
It's general, not vague. It gives you 100% of the information you need to get fit at any level or under any conditions.

Read the sticky and lift and stop being autistic

>>41075465
not inherently but you may get a repetitive strain injury, if you want forearm gains stick to farmers walks or rock climbing.

>>41075498
>>41075501
Then what about those bodytypes you guys throw around. How am I supposed to know what's what?

>>41075518
bodytypes are a meme, next question

>>41075518
>Then what about those bodytypes you guys throw around.
What about them? The reason they're not in the sticky is because they don't matter in regards to anything fitness related.

>How am I supposed to know what's what?
You were complaining about vagueness 2 minutes ago. This is shitty bait.

>>41075558
>>41075526
Well, I guess that answers my question.

I mentioned vagueness because I'm mentally retarded, ignore that already.

>>41075575
>vague question
>vague answer
and the sky is blue,

read the sticky, if a topic isnt covered its usually not important / a meme

>>41075587
That explains a lot.
