What's the best exercise for ABS gains?
>>76962997toes to bar
I like to do decline sit ups followed by knee raises. Kinda fat rn but you can see my abs. Slightly more definition on my ride side. How do i fix this?
leg raises and a static hold like plank or tucked front lever are all you need
>>76963001>how do I fix thiscrunch a little more and a little harder on the weak side, would be my guess
Alright /fit/, redpill me on GLP-1 and semaglutide injections. My formerly fat cousin visited me over Christmas and is thinner than she has ever been. She was open that she has been taking Wegovy and said she had minimal side effects (bloating, nausea). Are these the cure for fatties who lack any and all willpower? I was genuinely shocked at how thin she had become but I feel like everything has a trade off.
>>76962893The biggest blackpill for me has been the realization that the jews are right and most “people” really are just human-shaped animals to be used and treated like livestock. There’s no soul or even a sense of self. No capacity for self control let alone affecting the world around them.
>>76963037A reddit anecdote does not equal reality. If you weren't a redditor you'd know that. Reta easily gets you to a low % of bf without even trying.>>76963054Chinese peptides or bust. They are all sourced from China. Even EU labs like Driada don't make peptides.>>76963057Who gives a fuck about doing something "the right way" or "virtuously"? If you're obese you have high appetite, if you're a skelly you have low appetite. Take a GLP1 as a fatty and you'll feel like a skelly.
>>76963057>immediately postures kikes as thinking stockLol. Ngmi
>>76961178No you just don't know how to use the internet>>76961192Just split the cost for testing with your fellow fatties, 70% of the population is overweight. The large vendors always have buyers pitching in for group tests on specific batches>>76961175Novo is trialing up to 7MG. But just switch to zepbound >>76961205Yes it gives you a naturally thin person's food brain. I thought they were lying about being full.You will probably need to add protein shake or kefir or yogurt. Chewing becomes a chore 48 hours after shot day Also Broccoli sucks, its too dense>>769630372 years was enough time to completely change their lifestyle, adjust to high protein, 30 minutes of cardio or weights, so this person is an idiot. But the idiot can just upgrade to reta/cagri stack which will blunt appetite and increase metabolism at the same time>>76963054All(99%)peptides are manufactured in china. Go to glp1forums, mesorx, or stairwaytogray and see who has good recent janoshik results, eu warehouse or good custom pass rates from china. Stg has an international forum>>76962865>oh I didn't get pregnant last month so I guess I'll stop my birth control pillsYou just stay on it
>>76960666Weight loss is a never ending battle. If you lose weight on a diet you have to stay on a diet forever, essentially. You're eating at maintenance, not deficit, but if you're a fatty at heart there isn't much difference.
It's the start of the week again, take a deep breath in, hold it and exhaleWere you thinking of giving up today? No you weren't. You made it through this year, you'll make it through next one as wellWhat are your goals for 2026? What do you plan to achieve? List it all down.Take a deep breath, hold it and exhale, move at your own paceWe're ALL gonna make itHappy new year everyone, the motivation thread is openLast week’s thread >>769440
>>76961600Progress isn’t linear. What’s important is that you’re moving closer to an ideal. You’re becoming a better man. Keep pushing, no matter how hard life may feel. 2026 is going to be our year! WAGMI!
>>76960457For a guy built like a stick to do 35 push-ups in (presumably) one set is fucking insane.
>>76962998Looking it up right now it doesn’t look too bad. I’ll probably make a list hit Home Depot tmrw morning and start prepping. Maybe on Friday I’ll paint. I think I could probably get the whole place done between Friday and Saturday and then have it 100% dry by the time I’m home Monday night. Probably best to start in the bathroom Friday night so I can skip showing until I know it all dries.>>76963042I’m gonna be here long enough that if I can get like 80% of this stuff done before next year it would be worth it. I’m pricing things and I’m probably going to end up spending like $800. Paint, that’s like $200-$250 including supplies and prep work. Need a dinner table, going with a small 24” diameter one but that’s probably $50-$100, cabinet shelf thing that’s gonna be around $150-$200 to build. Entry way table will probably just grab a cheap aquarium stand on offer up and add some fluted panels to it to make it look nice lets me have somewhere to put a fish tank if I ever want to get into that like I plan to, I’ll call that’s $50-$100. Floor probably like $250. That’s really it. Maybe a couple of rugs/carpets and some black out curtains later on. If it makes me feel like this is my like, my lair my solitude if that makes sense then it’s worth. I will easily be here another 5-10 years.
>>76962540I'm sorry. Maybe you need to set more realistic goals for 2026
>>76963161Furniture is all fine. Floors, that's a hard no from me, but I guess if it's just that floating plank and you're really goingto be there for that long then whatever.
I finally got pic related set up.How do I make it into a 2 to 1 ratio set up so the weight is halved(including the velocity/inertia/whatever it is) so it's easier on the joints?
>>76961136>Look close for vaginaNTA but I can sort of see it reflected in the TV screen.I like the lights though.
>>76961558>chest expandersAre awesome if you know how to train with them. Your picrel is boomer garbage, though. Get one from Robert Baraban, that guy makes the best ones. Unfortunately he is now not shipping to the US because of the tariff situation.
I got myself a bench for xmasit's fine enough for what I spent on it (139 euro)mostly use it for db bench press, support for one arm db rows and to lock my legs while I do cruncheswill prob start using it for a few more things eventuallyI really need a stand for the dbs tho, I have to constantly move them around to gound...
>>76960958>>76961136So you got two Rogue functional trainers, gymleco hack and leg press, prime leg combo? Very nice gym, what made you go with all those particular pieces? Got to agree the hex lighting is globohomo tier, though.>>76962661Good start. Good luck with it and stay consistent!
>>76963127I've had the DBs for like, 3.5 months now, and I've been quite consistent (at least twice a week, frequently three)getting a home setup instead of having to drive to the gym really was the step I needed!let's pray for bountiful gains, altho I still need to cut more...
Some months ago i decided to make an experiment.I took bench press to decide to change my routine.I used to bench each 2 days (so lets say monday and then wednesday) and i would progress over time.Mind you i go to failure on last set. I would take some rest days when feeling tired but always consistent overall.Then i read about this Mentzer guy and said "hm ok then" and decided to train bench each 6 days.It s been months and i have literally made no progress at all lol, i still go to failure and each workout feels like some kind of alternative version of myself doing bench for the first time in an infinite loop where progress never happens.You gotta train a lift kinda frequently to get better at lifting (lifting more = more gains).Mentzer was a retard on steroids, he grew cuz of steroids.
>>76962855It s the other way.A beginner doesn t get more benefits than an advanced in terms of progressing.The term for learning the movement is relatively short and it is not linked to progress caused by muscle, it s just strenght adaptation.That would happen even if he lifted once a week, because he s a novice, like the Mentzer guy suggested to roiders.An advanced doesn t need to 6 days of rest for "maximum recovery" in hypertrophy training that would be like wasting 4 days for no reason.If he does that he will never progress, because he already has muscles and he is not willing to train enough frequently to keep the muscles getting even bigger than they already are.
>>76959020Some of mentzer's training in the early 70s at his peak was actually ok.It's only the 1 set once every 7-14 days stuff that doesn't work.>>76960484There's nothing magical about failure, if you fail a rep you reached failure, and the reason why you reached failure is because either muscle fibers can't produce as much force - which lowers mechanical tension thus the training stimulus - or you maxed out your motor unit recruitment and it's beginning to drop to the point that you can't activate as many fibers as you did just before reaching failure which also reduces the training stimulus if not completely negating it since fibers need to be activated in the first place to be stimulated with exercise.>>76962375Lions are never fully immobile unless sedated so obviously they don't lose their ability to move around which is what matters for survivability in the wild and not maximum muscular size and strength which there is no evolutionary incentive for since at a certain point it starts causing problems since muscles compete for many of the same nutrients as your other organs and the heavier an animal is the harder it is for its joints to deal with.Animals like lions use most of their muscles just standing and moving on all fours, they are so heavy that their rather inefficient body mechanics require a lot of muscle activity unlike us.They use their entire back muscle just moving around, even standing on their four limbs requires basically a constant isometric on their torso muscles and fore/back limb extensors.If you don't use a muscle fiber after 2 days it starts to atrophy, and this is true even if other musclefibers in the same muscle group are being activated and producing force, muscles atrophy and hypertrophy at a muscle fiber level and a muscle fiber is either being stimulated to grow(even if it doesn't due to being at maximum size) or they are atrophying.
>>76962725>Warming up is a meme.so you're a beginner then
>>76949525None of that is true.>>76949561>If heavy volume/frequency are sarcoplasmic hypertrophyThis doesn't make any sense.>>76949613You can't train for one over the other in any meaningful extent.
>>76963050Maybe not in terms of optimal progressing but progression is a function of consistency and a beginner lacks the consistency if they don’t do it often enough which is what OP wrote here:>each workout feels like some kind of alternative version of myself doing bench for the first time in an infinite loop where progress never happens.They say it takes 10000 hours to master something so I don’t think you can just expect a beginner to start benching once in 6 days and get great results.
What would you say is a normal libido for a male 25-35? Mine is up and down like crazy for periods at a time and I cant figure out if it’s normal or if I’m repressing it or stressed or something. I can go months without even busting relative easy and then have a super high libido for a short period of time. My test is 800-900ng btw.
I skip fapping a few days, then find myself rubbing out a couple in one day, and it's always a bummer. I notice that I have peak performance, clairvoyance and energy on 3-4 days nofap.
>>76962717thanks

>>76963197advertising his premium gay for pay content
it's hilarious how he slams the weight and pretends he's 0rir because on a working set I can't slam it even on the first rep
>ITT: Exercises not worth doing
>>76962610>push your arms all the way out in the air until you hear a crunch and all angles>hands behind you on the floor and scoot forward>still sitting hand to the side and start to do a pec/lat fly >light reverse bench>stiff arm tricep push downs

why do so many normies mock people for getting into shape?
>>76961399I make fun of him for not cutting off his wife's clit. Silicon Valley was breddy gud.
>>76961399>I'm getting skinnyYou are very gay
>>76961399Ignoring that the jeet in the OP is annoying af, normies generally mock people for getting in shape when their personality changes just as much as their body does.
>>76961399They weren't mocking him for "getting in shape" they mocked him because he went from being a shlubby out of shape guy to looking like an Easter Island head. When he started roids he went balls deep right from the jump and people were right to mock it
>>76961399>why do so many normies mock people for getting into shape?Because they understand that they have no self control and thats why theyre fat and instead of recognizing this and changing their behavior they just screech at people who are better than them
Imagine taking reda, hgh, test, heroin and acutane for this
>>76962749Look at his autism shoesLooks like something my grandpa would wear

>>76961901they sometimes taste good & you get a mellower, longer-lasting nicotine buzz than cigarettes etc>>76961860yeah they'll fuck it up a bitjust smoke like 1 per week
>>76963201They're for rolling blunts, nobody actually smokes those things.
>>76961860Depends how often you have them. If you're having one to two a day then yes, one to two a week, no.
>Dropped reps for strength.Numbers went up.Muscles went flat.Pump vanished.Endurance nuked.Mirror stared back like a sad neuron.Strengthbros swear “size follows strength.”Powerlifters: “it’s neural gains, bro”Me: maybe I’m just growing invisible fibers?
>>76962026Just do both, either by adding pump accessories or finishers to the strength routine, alternating strength and volume per exercise, or adding an exclusive pump day
>>76962584
>>76962587Indeed, do both. I start my sets heavy, with like 5 reps, then slightly (10-15%) reduce the weight and do sets for like 10 reps. Idk I'm not a scientist but I am seeing results so far.
>>76962026tendon and neural strength
>>76962891Wouldnt more reps with slower weight progression be better for tendon strength?
I wish I had started doing martial arts since I was a child, but there is always the present. I took a Judo class and it was a lot of funThe same school does Judo + MMA so I will be taking classes for both. What do you think? The goal is just having fun and learning self-defense.
>>76963272You're such an idiot incapable of seeing nuance
