Can we get a calisthenics thread going? Right now I'm testing out Mentzer's philosophy with calisthenics exercises (and some dumbbells), and so far I think it's working great (only done it for a couple weeks now though)How does your routine look like anon? How often do you workout and what is your favorite calisthenics exercise?
>>74299477No it's not.
>>74299449I think you're conflating resistance (or load) with mechanical tension, to use the terms as Jones and Mentzer would use them. You can achieve maximum tension with resistance far less than your 1RM, as long as you go to failure.
>>74299496>the 6-10 reps to failure rule with calesthenicsThis is not a requirement, but a suggestion.
>>74299118I just so happen to be trying something like this. Pic related is what I did this afternoon. The frequency will be: Once every day that I don't have work (I sometimes work one or both weekend days) so one to three times per week. After an adjustment period, I may make the schedule more rigid i.e. "perform one session every 4 days" etc.I can't think of a calisthenic movement which could replace deadlifts. This first time I used15-pound dumbbells, but I thought the reps were a bit too high. I'll do heavier dumbbells next time and see if it lands closer to ~30 reps/set.Also, my side delts were on fire at the end of the pushups and the deadlifts. I'm starting to think that an OHP movement is not really necessary.
Im a complete noob just working on the basics. I basically do push ups one day, pull up negatives + reverse rows the next day, high rep bodyweight squats the next day, and then rest and repeat. Im trying to figure out where to insert core work at the moment.I like getting to 4x10 controlled reps before moving on to a harder variation (except for legs since im doing high reps right now).Is that a good rep range? I like 4 sets more than 3 for some reason.
Questions that don't deserve their own threadread the sticky edition
I need 125g of complete protein a day.What is a cheap, efficient way to obtain this metric?
>>74300938milk tuna chicken eggs
>>74301294Why Tuna instead of say sardines?
>>74301300why nottuna is cheaper for me but they are mostly the same if not the price
>>74301329I dunno, was wondering if there's a difference in protein to price ratio.I'll compare the two in my area.

Gyno surgery in 2 hours. I've had some form of gyno since I was 8 years old. Now I'm 41 and in my mid-life crisis. All I've ever wanted was to look normal. Wish me luck boys.
>>74298152Keep progress pics and don't look to hard for too long. You have a lot of bruising and swelling. It's going to be a vast improvement.
>>74300595I'm on so much Xanax, clonopin, gabapentin and prescription NSAIDs that all I feel is floaty. Doctor called me this morning and said the swelling could take 2-4 weeks to go down. I remain optimistic. Also he told me I was talking shit about my coworker when I was drugged up lol. Just gotta wait and get the skin treatments done. It's not an overnight process.
>>74300971Yea the bruising and leaking is crazy. I've gone through more maxi pads than a teenager on the rag
>>74300979They'll give you Xanax AND Klonopin at the same time but won't give you a proper pain killer? Fucking retards. Good shit though bro you are gonna be flourishing after this. I have a lot of loose skin from losing 145lbs in a year but I ain't going through that, too hardcore. Also I'm too broke.
>>74300472A bra would make them more noticeable when clothed. But yeah. it's pretty bad with the shirt off.
It drives me crazy. My whole life I sweat like a fucking pig no matter what. Just the slightest heat or movement and my entire body is soaked in sweat, completely and utterly drenched. It really pisses me off its so annoying and gross. Im not fat either. How to make it stop?
>>74301074Yeah i figured the analogy was bad when i wrote it. Youre right thats why they go in the mud innit. Well idk what sweats a lot. But i sweat so much. Its miserable.
>>74300343Are you wearing polyester?
>>74301133I dont think so
>>74301133Oh wait. Yeah probably most of the time i am after googling it. I guess i thought most clothes were cotton but apparently its actually polyester
>>74300343I would also like to know

Opinions? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjFeAHXSoY0
>>74298649Do negatives or partials. A negative would be doing it up a ramp, and partial would be just to not extend too far ahead.>>74298238I can't do this shit without constant cracks in my pelvic joints or whatever they're called. Should I just ignore the cracks?
>>74301163I've been doing them for 2+ years with cracks. I never had an injury from it so I have concluded that it's probably safe, but I could be wrong

I haven't shitted in 6 days. Just took a strong laxative and will be eliminating my bowels in an hour. Wish me luck /fit/.
>>74300349I am shitting at least 3 times every single day
>>74300562If you’re not doing a one logger clogger every morning you’re fucking up.
>>74300562There are two types of people, those who shit a few times a day, but small logs each timeAnd those who shit only once but huuuuge fucking logsAnd i guess there's the 300+ lbs fatasses that shit huge logs many times each day

How much volume is necessary in a PPL program? Basically every program does 17+ sets every workout which would take over an hour to complete - many of them do 22+. I'm looking at jumping from Full Body 3x a week and it's putting me off doing roughly the same volume per session but 2 extra days on top of that (PPL-PP).
>>74301189as much as you can handle
>>74301192this unironically. the best and most optimal volume is the one you can do while progressive overloading and recovering til your next workout. thats literally it. if you are always fully recovered, you could try to add some more volume and see what happens. if you dont recover til its time to train that muscle again, drop the volume.this is it pal. even the most talented and experienced personal trainer cannot pin point program your lifting for the next 1-10 years. it depends on your rest time, your intensity, your sleep, your drive, etc etc etc.in the end its very very simple. its so logical and intuitive but everyone is so stuck in... i dont even know what. If you train legs on monday and your next leg day is thursday/friday but you have already recovered by wednesday, you could probably do more. or change your split and hit legs more frequently. if it takes you all the way til weekend to recover your legs, maybe do less.

What percentage of /fit/izens do you think actually do make it?
>>74292342Whatever percentage leaves this fucking place
>>74292342100% because we're all gonna make it
>>74292342Zero. This website is brainpoison.If you're still here after more than two years, you're NGMI
>>74292342What is your idea of making it? We have to have a definition. Lets do very vague goals for example. >60k+ income >Don't live with parents>Mentally sound >GFI would prob say around 20-30% will get all of these. One or two of these I would say 40%.
>>74299920>incomeok kike
based shit you do in the gym >wince/grimace at women with shorts shoved up their ass and pussy>say DONT DO IT when I see someone with bad form loading up more weight >tell big boys "that's sick dude" when I see them moving a lot of weight>ask strangers questions when I see them doing something I want to add to my routine or when I'm not sure what I'm doing overall I'm super positive in the gym but also a bit of a troll. I'm also positive you can attribute all this behavior to phenibut. but I have made friends to lift and swim with so I'd say it works for me.
