Questions that don't deserve their own thread, counting is hard edition
>accidentally load a 5lb plate on one side instead of a 10
>do 5x5 without noticing
Should I load with an equal and opposite imbalance next workout, or just move on and continue training normally? This hasn't happened before, so I'm not habitually training imbalances.
>>
>>41933303
Are you being serious right now?
>>
>>41933307
Yeah, I noticed my left side was lagging, but it wasn't enough to be concerned about. A 5lb difference is pretty common for intentional imbalance training.

Is OHP twice a week (one volume, one intensity) enough for good tricep/shoulder gains?

Also, can rowing be one four times a week? I don't really get severe back doms.

lately I've been eating more meat, focusing on lean meat
I've started snacking on it even, like at any odd time I feel like it
those are both fine, but the other day it was hot as fuck and I hadn't had any ice cream in like a week (usually I have it even less often than that) so I got some, but as I was getting it out I thought "man I could go for some sausage right now"

What have I done to myself? How is this affecting me and what is it called?

Everyone on hear keeps pointing out how beginner's programs aren't meant to be continued indefinitely, and that eventually one should move on to something more advanced.

1. Does PPL fall under those "beginner programs"?
2. When does one know it is time to move on out of these programs?
3. What are some of these more advanced splits one can move into?
4. Once using these new routines, can one stick to it indefinitely? Or is it only useful for a set period of time even with weight increase?

Thanks in advance.

okay so i have poor mans home gym in my house: rack, bench, barbell, 100kgs in plates

im an (ex at this point)endurance athlete but have some mild posture problems and would like to fix that

right now i do pushups, leg raises, pullups, rarely rowing and various leg work as a part of my training(2-3x week right now)

if i only do squats, bench, ohp, deads, dips and pullups would that be ok? or am i missing something important

I have been doing this one lately. It's barebones but effective at making you stronger.

>>41933374
OHP is good, but you need to add in some other shoulder work to get the other heads of the deltoid built up (Facepulls, Lateral Raises etc). Plus I wouldn't just count on OHP to do your Tri's, they need some isolation exercises to make the most of them, such as Skullcrushers or Tricep Extentions, as the Tricep has 3 different heads also, all of which work themselves differently depending on the exercise. Skullcrushers for instance are great for the 'long head' of the Tri

Where to go after ss. I have been really starting to struggle on everything even though I am not at 1234 yet. Looking to change after this month.

>>
>>41933792
honestly after moving from beginner you should learn how to make your own programs since only you know what works for you

but you could probably find some intermediate program that catches your eye, try it, and change stuff around

i.e., stronglifts 5x5 ---> madcow 5x5

After I sit up from finishing a set of sit-ups, I tense my stomach and I get like a spasm on the lower part of my abdomen?

Anyone felt this same experience?

'sup, /fit/, I have been doing 2 sets of 75 pushups, sit ups and bodyweight squats every day but lately they have just become a chore.

I feel incredibly tired/demotivated to do them, although I do it every day still.

So, should I take a day off every week, do it every other day or just man up and carry on?

I feel like I'm doing something wrong/missing something here.

Hey guys, i want to gain mass. So im thinking about a schedule that increases volume every week for arms shoulders abs and calves for a month then deload and then again for back chest and legs, is this a good plan? And are there any good schedules out there or do i make one myself.

I've been using the Trojan an KY stuff and it works fine. But the $10-$15 per bottle price tag is getting a little steep considering how my playing I do. I mean my friend does.

Yea petroleum jelly is oil based putty essentially. And honestly even if it wasn't, it's terrible lube. And the clean up is too much effort. Water based is best for that reason.

Fug. Guess I'm spending $200 a year on lube unless I just decide to go full degenerate and use a Costco sized jar of Crisco.

lads - do macro's have an effect on fat loss?

I've been told too cut down on protein if i want to lose bodyfat, as protein is anabolic amino acid which keeps fasting insulin at a higher level all day?

protein promotes mass/bulk etc as it contributes to building tissue in the body?

>>41938550
yeah, until you can do 8 pull ups

>>41938576
dont cut protein unless you want to also lose muscle as you cut

As a noob how hard should I push myself. I'm also on a cut btw. Like I'm pretty sure I could add a bit of weight to my lifts but I don't want to get stuck and fail reps. So am I going to get much slower gains if I'm lifting a bit under as a noob or is the fact that I am lifting anything basically enough as a noob. I don't have a spotter so on bench especially I am fairly cautious about how much weight I put.
>>
>>41938596
to failure for every lift
if you only did 2 reps, then that was too much weight, so remove a little bit and do some more reps
next time you'll know the correct amount to use
on the other hand, if you could do 9 or more reps then it wasn't enough weight so next time add more
>>
What is the point in tracking macros if you track cals and protein?
>>
I'm 82kg, 183cm and have high body fat percentage.

How do I go about reducing body fat percentage at this point? Been lifting for some time now, however it is still relatively high (20%+). Do I start cutting for weight loss? Or should I just eliminate more carbs from my diet and start cardio alongside lifts? Would decrease in carbs have big effect on my lifts or will it be fine if I offset with enough protein?
>>
>>41938596

I always like to do 3 sets of 7-10 reps trying to add a little more weight everytime I lift, or just more reps. Then for my final set I'll do like 70% of the weight I was doing and lift till failure. Anymore and I feel I risk injury without a spotter but I still feel like I got a lift in the next morning. It's just really important to eat so you can build muscle and recover appropriately - sleep is big too.

Also highly doubt the"milk=prostate cancer" entirely especially when in the article it says:

>difficult to tell
>unrealistic
and
>What remains to be seen, though, is whether future epidemiological evidence will support or refute the currently heralded hypothesis that dairy consumption increases prostate cancer risk and whether we will be able to identify more feasible explanations for this relations than those that are implicated by the results Maruyama et al. present in their 2010 study.

I have some sort of arm injury
it feels like a searing pain in my inner forearm just abreast of my ulna.
It begins as I lift something and then greatly intensifies as I release the load, and then dies down to a dull ache

I believe it's some form of tendon inflammation.

I haven't lifted since Friday. I can still feel some discomfort while exerting force requiring my arms.

Should I skip doing arms today?
If so, how long should I not do arms?
What exercise can I do until it's healed?
What is it anyway?
How can I prevent it in the future?

Add core and arms and back into you routine

I dont need to explain why a sexy back and abds are sexy

And arms just to make sure you have firm arms in general, your not gonna jump from skinny arms to bodybuilder arms from 1 week to another you can see the progress and decide "You know what my arms are fit enough" and just maintain or cut the arm from the routine,

5'8" been lifting for a month and a half, 180lbs, been maintaining while lifting.

Haven't drank since april btw

OHP is great for both of those, recently I tried adding in 10x20 lateral raises (twice a week) for medial delts and noticed a different within a week. Try it out, no joke. It's a pump that won't go away
As for rows, 4 times a week is fine. You'll see great lower trap and rear delt development if you're eating right and doing some row variation that often. Your deadlift is probably going to go down, though

Missing some trap/rear delt. Add in some rows to even it out; you should be rowing as much as you bench.
Deads can be done twice a week, one heavy day and another for accessories/variations if you want. I only did it once a week. Doing 2-3x5 got me up to 315 for a triple before I stalled
good luck bb I hope I helped a bit

While all cows have similar levels of omega 6s, milk, butter and meat from grass fed cows are higher in omega 3s than cows raised on grain. In fact, grass is full of the omega 3 fatty acid ALA, which grass fed cows convert to the higher-quality DHA and EPA. Amazing!!!

Not being able to use your elbows means you can't do almost any upper body work. I would personally switch to a cardio regimen while I waited for it to heal, but there's no harm in progressing your legs in the meantime instead. What are your current numbers for BP/OHP/squat?
>>
>>41945011
You might as well keep up the lower body stuff. I shouldn't take more than a couple of weeks to heal, so you won't suddenly become disproportional.

Strength wise? About a month or so. Losing your pump and ability to lift as well, on the other hand, is about a week. After the week or so you return to the land of intense DOMS after you start exercising again and your lifts will feel weird.

What is turned into fat in the body more, sugar or oil?

Dyel never gonna make newby here

Warmup squat with the bar. However, recently the placement seems to be pinching something on the left side of the back of my neck; it gets really achy, and it can be painful during my actual squats, but gradually wears off throughout the sets.

Im guessing that because the bar feels so light, i'm positioning incorrectly on my traps and am not noticing it. Any idea what i actually might be doing? I have no idea, because to me its the same position i've always used.

Also, I do high bar squats.

>>41946917
>What is turned into fat in the body more, sugar or oil?

This is a moot question really. So much depends on the context. All excess energy is turned into fat, even that from protein. Maybe count your calories and macros for some time and see how you're eating? Some people eat too much carbs, others eat too much fat. Deep-fried fries have BOTH btw, sugar isn't always sweet.

I'm fucking scared lads.
Not only am I anxious about how the whole thing goes and if it will be awkward, but I'm also worried that if she rejects me I'll lose my motivation to lift, because wanting to look good for her has kept me at 100% for the past few months.
How do I stop being so autistic about this girl and how do I ensure that the date goes well?
How do I make lifting about being comfortable in my own body rather than trying to look good for others?

Do negatives.

Do a ton of pull downs.

>>41947895

>>
>>41947999

>>
>>41947683

Sounds fine.

I'd suggest doing real cardio on other days.

Rather than "15 min" of treadmill/bike, etc I'd say "until you feel warmed up". The point of the day is to make progression on your 5x5.
>>
>>41935125

I'd worry about daily totals for calories/protein before i'd worry about timing your meals for gains.

If having it beforehand makes you feel strong, go for it.

If having it beforehand makes you feel uncomfortably full, wait.
>>
>>41935912

About the only thing in the preworkout that has a measurable improvement in performance is the caffeine.

And you'll build up a tolerance to it.

Grip width should be about getting the forearm vertical (from both the front and the side) through the part movement when the elbows are tucked, so everything is stacked & strong.

>>
>>41938660

> protein

> macro

Protein is one of the "macronutrients" you're tracking if your "tracking macros".

It's fine.

Tracking calories > doing nothing
tracking calories + protein > just tracking calories
Tracking macros > tracking just calories + protein.

But there's diminishing gains as you go down the list. Same as in the gym, you're trying to get the most results for the least work. If you can meet your goals just tracking calories, go for it. If you can meet them tracking just protein/calories, do that.

Trust in it & keep adding weight slowly.

IRRC

Cardiovascular adaptation begins to deteriorate after a week, muscle after a month and strength after 3-4 months.

You can do isometric exercises to maintain musculature in your injured leg.

You can train the other leg some studies show that it helps alleviate problems with deteriorating muscles.

You can train your upper body, having your lower body injured is not an excuse to skip the gym. Apply yourself.

preventing them is as simple as trying to maintain proper grip, though this is obviously more difficult the more weight you have.

One of the most common mistakes is gripping the bar for diddlys with the palm of your hand, rather than wrapping your fingers around it, for example.

For treatment of non-torn callouses, I would recommend some moisturiser before going to bed.

For recovery I would say you might have to wrap that shit thick and tight. Maybe even wear

Does giving blood regularly negatively impact your gains?

I like to give blood every two or three months because I feel it's something of a civic duty. But it does rather take the wind out of one's sails, and I reckon it probably negatively impacts recovery time for maybe a day or two or three thereafter. But does it make it harder to gain muscle? If so, is there any way to mitigate that?

I can attest to this as I've been too caught up in college exams and essay work recently with no income I've had to cancel my gym membership for now but right now my bench was 76kg and now it's around 60kg after 1 month of little physical activity ohp surprisingly hasn't changed but it was fairly poor to being with and haven't had the chance to do squats but will happily say when I'm back in the gym (around the 10-15th of july at the latest) but essentially everything is harder and I've literally seen my gains go which is depressing

Are Strip Clubs the most Fit thing next to Gyms?

I mean THICC girls rubbing ass and tits on your clothed cock so you edge for maximum test gains without blowing your load

And yet you leave feeling satisfied and happy with your life

Most /fit thing ever they need to put clubs next to every gym. Maybe make it a dual membership

If I was you id cut for 2 month because Id hate beeing fat.

>>41942622
Starting strength is fine if you want to build a good strength base.
I moved on to the reddit ppl quickly, because I dont care that much for strength.

>>41943515
Cialis or something similar. But dont take my word for granted and research yourself.

>>41944081
Yes, if you eat too much.

>>41944419
Not worth the money and inferior to a good protein source.
If you really want to spend money Id buy EAAS

>>41946092
Go to a doctor/physio. Id stop swimming if it was what hurt your shoulder in the first place.

>>41947453
>whats a good weight to start with
Depends on how strong you are. We cant answer that.

>any advice regarding form
Standing upright, tight core etc. so good posture in general.

>>41950197
I like it. Workouts are long though so only do it if you have enough time.

>>41951680
Why do you want to take it everyday?
Its very unhealthy IIRC

>>41938812
no, stronglifts is incredibly not-intense

rock climbing would be good for your forearms, arms, calves as well as core, all of which are largely ignored by SL. your quads will probably take a beating though.

I'm doing manletdestiny's beginner routine with box squats, I've heard the excersise being called as not essential for beginner lifter. I've been lifting weights for 5months and by sugar went from 1pl to 1.75pl , I can box squat 2pl with a bit of effort on the last sets, my question is , should I stick to box squat or do some other variation to strengthen my legs

Okay guys stupid question but I really need the answer.

Do you need to keep this stuff refrigerated? If not I think I fucked up.

Is it a good idea to water fast on two seperate days of the week to lower your body fat?
I eat slightly below maintenance on the remaining 5 days. It would put me in a ~4000kcal deficit for the week.
>>
>>41958603
Yeah, I do 3 per week. No biggie. Sunday, wednesday, friday.
>>
>>41958510
Sumo is better for some and conventional is better for others. Just stretch your hamstrings though, I don't think that should be the deciding factor in which one you pick since mobility is something that can be easily fixed.
>>
>>41957477
Do what works best for you. People don't seem to understand that people respond to exercises differently.
>>
>>41957477
don't do his routine

>>41958288
not necessary to go to failure, depends on your routine
agree with your goal though
>>
>>41953830
I've never done it myself but I've heard other people say it doesn't really affect their gains.
>>
>>41951340
Of course. Your leg muscles are a lot bigger and are going to grow faster. SS is also quite famous for focusing on squats.
>>
>>41952003
You're fine. It's the same with manual labour jobs. I work as a bicycle courier and your body just sorta gets used to it.
