squarish jaws are kinda fashion desu. most models and female public figures have either a strong jaw or at least sharp

I'm gay, and some of the girls that almost make me feel I could survive a straight relationship had square jaws.

>>42005403
It's because fashion designers are unironically gays, why do you think female models always look like a stick with a pirate skull on top ?

>wanting your offspring to be jawlets
lmao

>>42005053
Strong jaw on a female is considered an attractive trait to most.

The most attractive specimen of each gender is a person who has attractive traits of BOTH genders. Very attractive men have good masculine features but they also have feminine features as well. We are attracted to this because the offspring will inherit the genes of this person and it is good to know that no matter the gender, the offspring will inherit strong genes.

>>42005779
>tfw no hairy chested qt gf

its an attractive feature in both genders

>>42007607
I'm on nofap two weeks now.

You have to make a commitment. You need to realize that you have the power. It helps to believe that girls will find you more attractive, and quite honestly they do.

I've been attempting nofap for a few months actually. And sometimes I fail. But I keep getting back on the horse. The benefits are too much to list.

4chan can be a trigger. Eventually you will be able to dissociate seeing a picture of a sexy woman and masturbation. Once you hit this point there's no reason to leave 4chan.

With noporn/nofap it's not about completely abstaining, at least not in the beginning. It's about your mindset. You try, you may fail, but then you try harder again. Eventually you will make it.

You can consume anything and get swole, it always comes down to moderation. Nothing stopping except how much you consume.

Squeeze ass hard as you can and lift from your hips.

Can one 'fling/catapult' a basketball with their arm into the hoop instead of the usual way to shoot(with wrists and overhead) ; is this bad form and what are the risks? I don't want to sprain anything. I'm a short tiny girl with no tricep muscles so i can't even shoot a 3p half the time. But i discovered i can put the basketball in my hand and fling it overhead with good distance and accuracy. If i'm playing 2v2 is this sort of thing annoying?

>>42005053
If I lift 3x week and work as a barman(I make some drinks, clean the cups and shit onm a restaurant) 6 days week can I put light exercise on the TDEE calculators?

>>42010898
its referring to physical frame

if you're doing corrective exercises, should you do them every day?

>>42010982
Id say yes because you want to tense up muscles

outside low bf%, how can I make my V-line/adonis belt pop out more?

I'm a beginner, and a few of the simple programs I've seen online don't really seem to group certain muscles together. For example, an ABA BAB program would have deadlifts and pullups on A and then rows on B. Why would you work back on both days? Right now I'm doing dl, pull ups, and rows on one day and squats, bench, and ohp on the other. Why do some programs incorporate the same muscle groups on both days, instead of keeping them mostly separate?

Is there any point to doing pulldowns if I can do pullups? I like experimenting with the different grip handles and the movement is fun for me.

>>42007400

Is it alright if I have more than one rest day as a beginner? I've been doing a push-up routine and my biceps and upper pecs are really sore even after not working them for 24 hours. I've seen military push-up sets that don't allow any rest days so I was thinking of doing that despite the sticky telling me to have at least one day of relaxation.

Question for you guys...

Why the fuck do my joints hurt? Specifically my elbows and my knees. Like right now, they hurt, and today is my rest day.

>tfw walking for more than a few hours will cause knee pain.
>tfw you never had that problem before lifting

Help. Me. Please.
What can I do to solve this? When my knees were really bad my doctor said they were as healthy as they come. Even had x-rays and ultrasounds... I've been taking fish oil supplements.

Is it muscle/tendon related, rather than the joints themselves?

I've been lifting 5/6 days a week for about 10 months

Immaterial to your question

I read the sticky, there is one thing I didn't get. I'm 174 lbs and 5'9, can I lose weight and build muscle at the same time? Should I go for the cutting or bulking diet?

>>42012803
have you lifted before? If no

go to BMR calc, put body weight you want to be
work out TDEE

eat maintenance calories for that body weight

you will gain muscle and lose fat to become that weight but your body will become that weight if you eat that many calories

I'm probably in advanced beginner territory after doing my time in a beginner routine. I enjoy lifting, and my schedule just got some more free time for the next few months. If I don't really care about how much time I spend in the gym, both in how many days and length of sessions, what are some routines I can do to put on some well rounded mass?


I'm leaning towards the generic bulking routine, but thought I should ask you faggots about anything I should scope out.

>>42012834
Yes I've lifted before but now I want be more serious about it. So I'll just have to eat 2658 cals x day to be 154 lbs and do the routine in the sticky. Thanks!

>>42012897
why the fuck would bulk or cut at the beginner stage?

>>42012879
If you're a beginner, definitely 5 reps (this is relatively low) for each set, heavy weight so you're able to build strength in the beginning

>>42005053
Ok guys. I need help. So a good friend was whining about being unfit, so a few months back I started taking him to the gym. Showed him my routine (he basically just like squats and bench) and made sure he had solid form on the big 4 compounds. I also spot him when he wants to go heavy. He's slowly becoming a raging douche though. He doesn't have any higher education, but I'm still in college. Due to some personal stuff couple with exams, for the last 4 weeks I've been unable to go to the gym more than once or twice a week. He's started mouthing off about how he's way fitter than me, and how fat I am. I'm around 18% bfp, so he ain't wrong, but my lifts are significantly higher than his. In fact, we tested it. Now he just limits the comments on our strength to people outside our immediate friends group.


Anyway, the fucker's one claim to fame is that he can do a few chinups. I can't do more than maybe one or two. Are there any protocols for increasing the amount of pullups one can do rapidly (within 3 mo). I know of Armstrong, but I can't install a pullup bar in my house, so it won't work for me.

Any australians buy liquid egg whites? Where do you get them?

>>42013078
3 times a week:

3xAMRAP + negatives untill 8 reps

when you manage to do 5, start adding weight and do 3x5 + 1xAMRAP without weight, and in the other days do one or two sets of 60% of your maximum reps

Apparently my form is perfect. Coming from the personal trainers at the gym, and my friend I go to the gym with.

I even cut down to doing legs once a week, and only move up in weight about once a month. Just because I'm so afraid of having the pain I had while doing Strong Lifts. (Squats every day - moving up 5 pounds everytime - that was seriously fucking stupid. Why would anyone recommend this.)

I'm feeling insane, and it's exhausting. Doctors say I'm healthy, but I'm in pain. That's not how healthy people feel. The best advice anyone has given me is "Just take it easy." - but I am... Most of the guys I hit the gym with push yourselves much harder than I do, and don't feel a thing. Wtf is wrong. Ugh

How much time can I spend not lifting before I start losing strength and mass?

>>42015224
If it's not a form problem, you're pushing yourself too hard and pain is your body's way of telling you that. You need to listen. Take a short break, don't increase weight too rapidly, try icing after exercise, etc.

How can I fix my sleep schedule? I'm always fucking tired but I can only sleep 5-6 hours. If I try to sleep more I can't.

Has anyone used cla with any effect? I understand that it supposedly helps with cutting provided youre already dieting and exercising. What about bulking? Apparently it helps build lean muscle mass so in theory could it help increase the quality of your bulk?

>>42014661
>My posture is good
It isn't.

>>42016207
You need to really engage your core the entire time you're planking. Really squeeze it. If it's still not doing anything, wear a weighted vest or put a 10 or 25 lb plate on your back

>>42014661
Have someone check your form, you should be straight (thus the name). Not dipping or raising your hips.

Here, you should be feeling it as long as your core is engaged. Find the point at which you feel the most tension in your core and that *should* be straight. Hips up too much you're using your glutes/quads, hips down and you're just hanging, not using your lower abdomen as much.

How many reps are optimal for weighted pullups?

In SS it says to do weighted pullups once you can do 12-15 at bodyweight, but then to work it like everything else at three sets of five.

In harsh's worksheet on the fit wiki it says to do assistance exercises at higher reps ie 8-20.

I tried increasing at 2.5 / workout doing three sets of five, but couldn't keep it up after reaching 52.5 lbs added.

>>42017822
Pull ups are this kind of exercize that are best worked in the 6-12 rep range, so stick with that if you want to up the weight you're using.

Just gradually up the weight and cycle rep ranges. Do 4x12 if you feel that you need a little bit more volume in order to get stronger, switch to something like 12/10/8/6 or 4x8 if you want to work between size and strenght, or do 3x4-6 if you really wanna work on strenght

>>42017822
Weighted pullups are basically a main compound lift.
So yeah, 3x5 works well for them.
If you can't progress with 3x5 straight, try this:
lift 50 2x5 + 52.5 1x5
next time 50 1x5 + 52.5 2x5
next time 52.5 3x5
next time 52.5 2x5 + 55 1x5
and so on

The same system works well for other Lifts (especially OHP) too if you stall.

If that's still too much, go to 5x5 and progress even slower (obviously not with the weight you did 3x5 with before), i.e. 4x5+1x5, then 3x5+2x5, then 2x5+3x5 etc.

Why does my squat feel like shit?
I started doing rippetoe lowbar a few months ago, it went great at first, but I feel like I'm close to stalling and I'm only doing a hair over 2 plates for 3x5.
It feels worst in the hole, at the lowest point below parallel.
The usual sticking point, a bit above parallel on the way up is not there, it just shoots up from just above parallel to the top.
I guess I should film myself to see if I'm not going too low, but I really doubt it.
It basically goes like this:
>down, nice and controlled
>down, down
>[reach parallel]
>alright, a bit more to get to proper depth
>[break parallel]
>oh shit fuck this is heavy I need to get back up
>[struggle]
>fuck fuck fuck go up up up fuck HIP DRAAAAAHVE
>[break parallel]
>wew thank god that's over, now drive up the rest of the way

I just hit a 225 bench pr on a cut. Is this normal? I thought you couldn't make strength gains while cutting

when is it no longer beneficial to have a deficit of greater than 500 cal?

Trying to get down to 12% BF currently 18-19%.

>>42018109
Hard to tell, but the leaner you get, the smaller the deficit should be. I'd throw out 15%bf as a number here from where you should be more careful.
Above 20% you can cut much harder, but where you're now, 500 is probably a good place to stay for now.

>>42018124

>no matter the gender, the offspring will inherit strong genes.

The correct word is, MAY inherit. The genetic lottery is most visible when a pair of average parents have a stunning looking kid and vice versa. Children are a mixture of their parents genes. Some can lay dormant and be expressed only in the next generation.
Therefore, you might have tall parents, but still be shorter. Or, they might be short and you end up tall.
This is a common misconception in here that an attractive mate guarantees attractive offspring. It does increase chances for the outcome you seek, but most likely you'll end up disappointed if you have some high expectations.

Adult faces should have square jaws, hollow cheeks, pouty lips, and pronounced cheekbones.

Baby faces have small pointed chins, chubby cheeks, and no visible cheekbones.

Modern humans have poor oral posture, resulting in recessed maxilla and a short, small jaw, making them look like baby faces which have melted downward.

For hypertrophy, your muscles need 36-48 hours to full recover. That means you either workout 3 times per week, or you use a split such as push/pull or upper/lower to cram in more exercises per week while still giving your muscles a two day rest period.

The military push up training is to condition you to have more endurance, which is different from hypertrophy.

I have short hamstrings. What's a good exercise to correct it? Also, what is a good substitute to squats?

If I'm 5'6 and 152lbs bulking, is it a good idea to eat 4000 calories/day? My fitness buddy is telling me to lift extremely heavy weights for only 1-3 reps but eat like a truck. My current tdee is around 2800.

Is the whole "you need to eat protein immediately after working out" thing a meme or what? I'm still making my protein macros (about 120 g/day), but after lifting I don't have much of an appetite, so I'd rather not force feed myself a shake if I don't have to. I'm cutting if it means anything.

165 at 5'8. I've gained 15 lbs in the past 4 months of working out. Should I go on a 3000kcal bulk and do gomad type stuff to get size as a skelly or should I keep just shooting for 3-400 above tdee and weighing myself every couple months? Either way, I'm thinking I'll try to get enough size that I can start a cut around next february or march to get to ottermode for the summer.

My understanding is excess protein becomes glucose (sugar) which becomes fat if you don't use it for energy.

Should i do Shoulder/Legs after doing Chest/triceps or after Back/Biceps?

My Schedule is

>Mon: Chest/triceps
>Tue: Back/Biceps
>Wed: Shoulders/legs
>Thurs: Rest
>Fri: Chest/Triceps
>Sat: Back/Biceps
>Sun: Rest


The thing is, my shoulders are lagging behind and also, it's been pretty hard to actually maintain this schedule because if i do shoulders after chest day my front delts are always really sore and i end up lifting less weights than i could in shoulder exercises HOWEVER, if i train shoulders after back day i end up with sore shoulders and serratus and can't do chest on friday

Should i switch for push/pull/legs workout if i want to hit same muscles groups twice a week?

I finally finished my bulk and am satisfied, so now i want to focus on abs. Does CICO work for abs (i mean as long as i keep working them out), or should i do a different diet?

What purpose does mixed grip in deadlifting have?

>Even a website

Has this ever actually had any significance?

>>42024272
It's for when you're lifting so heavy that it's hard to hold on to the bar. Your hand muscles aren't as strong as your posterior chain. Other alternatives include hookgrip and straps.

>>42019315
Grunt in public, no one cares. If you're not grunting you're not working hard enough.

>>42022366
It's fine. Sit-ups really isn't a very good exercise however so if you want to specifically target your abs start doing planks and leg raises.
Also, since you're a beginner you'll get plenty of ab stimulation from squats and deadlifts.

>>42024340
So straps serve the same purpose as mixed grip?
Do some imbalances in hand muscles occur? I mean do you need to change your mixed grip (swap the left and right hand)?

>>42021307
I recommend 3x5. 5x5 for squats is horrible mentally for a lot of beginners. 5 reps is also a better range for strength gains than 10 reps while still giving plenty of mass for a beginner.
I personally did phrak's greyskull and really recommend it. It will give you a more balanced body as opposed to ss or sl5x5 that focuses more on lower body.

>>42021679
It just looks like the band is messed up? Why not just replace the band?

>>42024395
Pretty much, although for really heavy weights even alternating might not be enough and straps might be necessary. Some people actually notice that their traps grow uneven which can lead to muscle imbalances in their other lifts as well, but it seems to differ from person to person. Look up Alan Thrall's channel on youtube, he has some good videos on the subject.
