Do you work out to impress women or impress men?
Not to impress women as such but I do care a lot about looks because I realise it's value as social currency has increased so much now. Luckily I don't have to bonesmash etc. cause of a naturally good face, but I haven't been truly lean since 2021 - only bulks with some mini cuts to keep things in control and a year where I fell off completely
>>77052770left is my body typesometimes I feel like a twink, sometimes I feel like I'm somewhat athletic
>>77057397>you lostah my bad didn't know you were underagedfucking retard kys
>>77059738You lost again, bud. You must have a humiliation kink or something lmao
My bad for engaging with this retard in the first place.
Today at the gym I needed to grab one of the rope attachments for tricep pulldowns, but the only one was on a bench with two girls standing in front of it talking, so I walked right up to them and asked if I could grab it. Not only did they let me, one of them picked it up for me and handed it to me! I made eye contact the whole time too and didn't even stutter.Lifting really does turn you into a hyper-confident chad lol, you guys proud of me?
>>77059368I can do this with my eyes closed
>>77059334pwned the other turboretard anon who had to kill a thread to attention seek off his inability to ask people to share equipment
>>77059334based
My gym hired an autistic eastern european staff woman and yesterday I had an autism duel with her while we walked in each other's direction. I think she might be even more autistic than me, she was walking manually and her eyes were spinning trying not to look in my direction. At first I thought she looked/sounded German but she must be Finnish, that turbo-autism and on a female is not human. I will get a haircut and start courting this grey mouse.
>>77060031....walking manually, you say?
So Obviously, Bale was on some kind of PED's to get that much muscle in such a short amount of time. But how long would it take a serious lifter of his height working out 3x a week doing compound lifts to get his Physique? He must be around 85KG here
>>77057823I always assume all Hollywood types and influencers are on gear
>>77058919My difficullty is in getting that upper chest "shelf"
>>77059824>wide grip heavy arched military press but push with chest>narrow enough and narrow lower incline and flat >hold the weight further out and/or down to hips depending on incline/flat>squeeze shoulders and or elbows together>brace by rotating in with wrists/elbows/shoulders to easily get upper chest on inclineHonestly my weak point because it takes little work to keep proportional. I'm working on inner chest and overall thickness. You should definitely get a sick pump trying these techniques and combining them or some shit I'm drinking trying to figure out how to get massive delts in my lifting lab.
>>77057823kek this is a dyel fat manlet only 5'11. cant believe u think this is big hahah

For people are eat sardines a lot, what do you think about mackerels? Apparently macks have more DHA/EPA so it's just better than deens.
>>77051636I like them. I eat both for variety's sake.>>77051648Mercury is really not that big a deal unless you're eating them like every single meal.
I haven't had deenz in a long ass time I need to buy a bunch
>>77051636Anchovies are king
>>77056055I need to scallop max pronto
Seafood maxing is the way to go, more nutrient dense than poultry and red meat. Not even vegan and vegetarian fags shit talk seafood.

give tips that are research based to increase my test
>>77049009>>77049030 You /fit/ tards have such a comically juvenile understanding of hormones, like you watched a youtube video by some guru trying to sell you ashwagandha and now you have an opinion of what ratio of which hormones dictate which traits. Reality is that serum levels mean next to nothing as long as they are within or near the reference range. What actually matters is your genetic sensitivity to hormones. That's why there are hulking sasquatch behemoths with low T & twinks with erectile dysfunction that are above the reference range.
>>77055287
>>77058874It absolutely does look so.
I think total T is a scam. Got mine tested recently because I have bunch of mental symptoms of low T and it came back really high (960 when I'm in my late 20s).And yet I have no sex drive, 0 ambition and competitiveness, I don't get angry etc.Gotta check my free test soon but I hoped that it'll came back low so I'll have an excuse to just hop on TRT amd fix my brain.
>>77059825see >>77057040There is no guarantee that you will dial in, you might make everything even worse.
What is the best for shoulders growth?
db ohp + cable lateral raisesthat's all the isolation you need, all 3 heads are used in most other exercises
>>77059806Front barbell raises for front and lateral delts. Fuck if I know about rear delts, I’m a rear deltlet
>>77059806She's so perfect, damn. I feel so lonely. The best way to grow your shoulders is to have a lass like this ask you to pick her up over your head
>>77059806>thumbless super narrow grip military press and shove it like a front raise>1 notch high incline military pressDumbbells, machines, cables, all suck big fat dong these are the only front delt lifts I'd ever do vs whatever the fuck yall are doing. I can't grab my rear/front delts with pinky to thumb at all.

Are peptides really a meme?Anyone have first or second hand experience?Thanks in advance!-sent from my iPhone
I think I'm going to try the glow one anon recommended. He was a good shill.Can someone redpill me on the weight loss/fat burning ones? I am obese but I am trying to get my abs back. I have been dieting dillegently but I am impatient. How do they work? Do i have to stay on it forever?
>>77043890Like everything in life, peptides will affect your homeostasis. Your entire body is a complicated metabolic engine, with an unknowable amount of chemical reactions happening every single moment. It is adapted to utilize materials from food, water, and the air.When you start taking something like peptides, your entire metabolism will change. Biology is never linear, you cannot pull one lever without a thousand other levers moving in response. Spiking a specific factor might do something "good" today, but it could also accelerate the growth of aberrant cells or burn out receptor sites tomorrow. You are throwing a monkey wrench into a finely tuned machine and hoping it only hits one specific gear you are aiming for. Eventually the collateral damage will catch up.
>>77043890Reta/BPC 157/TB500 are the real deal. Haven't tried others but I know that the most popular HGH stack takes about 2 months before it starts working so I think for that reason you'll see a lot of mixed opinions surrounding it, maybe I'll try it one day and see for myself if I can source it affordably.>>77051193You take supplements everyday. You go to work everyday. You go gym everyday. Is it really that fucking hard to take 2 mins to pin subcutaneously?>>77053775HGH or HGH peptides?

How do I quit this dumb zoomer shit?
>>77059299yeah they say that weed isn't addictive, but I couldn't stop. even when I stopped buying it I would take a hit from my mom or sibling's dab pen. had to admit to them I had a problem and used the guilt to quit for good.
>>77058293You smoke cigs instead, as the greatest generation didYou'll look cool, and zoomettes will see you as a badass villain from a noir movie
>>77059843Weed being non addictive is the most pernicious lie from stoner culture and doctors seem to be completely apathetic to it. My brother is a hardcore pot smoker, and I can literally see the withdrawals kick in when we have dinners at christmas as his mood and energy rapidly depletes as the night goes on.
>>77059480Sorry but this is retarded.The craving for nicotine only last two or three days, and I'm being generous with the estimate; so the tapering is useless and counter productive, as you postpone the end of the physical need for it indefinitely.
>>77059863People say that because the physical aspect of it is minimal. It's really a mental thing.Mind you I'm the type of person who get withdrawals, but I've noticed most of it was lying to myself.What I mean by it:For a long time, I used to convince myself I couldn't eat or sleep well without it, and it was mostly a cope. It's the addiction talking, finding a reason to start again.Sometimes, another bad habit detrimental effects, like drinking a shitload of coffee, or eating too much too close to bedtime, were being counter/cancel by the weed intake, in a positive way if you will. So when you stop, you have to correct your other vices aswell.Of course, getting your dreams back will fuck up a few nights, as you can wake up a lot, sleep 10 hours and not feel rested, and it can be pretty tough if you have shit to do.But do not underestimate the mental aspect.The dream/memory problematic is also amplified if you shun demons for a long time, which is the case for most drug addicts.Dreams can be nightmares, and you can feel overwhelmed by memories, things you had hidden for too long, etc..It can be really tempting to start again as sleep would seem more restorative with it, it's kind of a lie.Dreaming is too important anyway, as it's your unconscious talking: you need to be aware of it.
So I'd made a thread last month about how my chicken always turned out ass: https://desuarchive.org/fit/thread/76973932/And I've finally cracked the code. The most helpful tip I got was that the chicken needs to brine in order to retain juices. Here's a recipe for 3 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken thighs, I use whole thighs with the fat trimmed. You can cube the chicken if you want but it's just unnecessary effort in my opinion.8 tbsp frank's sweet chili sauce (you can reduce this to 6 if you want to control your sodium intake)4 tbsp low sodium onions sauce1 tbsp lemon/lime juice1.5 tbsp sesame oil1-2 tbsp grated ginger2-3 tbsp chopped garlic5 stalks of chopped green onions (can add a little more/less)1 tbsp paprika0.5 tbsp black pepper0.5 tbsp saltComment too long.

>>77059799chicken thighs are easy asf to cook, it's chicken breast that's a challenge
>>77059834I haven't tried this marinade with breasts yet but I don't see why it wouldn't work with breasts too.
>>77059834>chicken breast that's a challengeJust make pulled chicken from them and them make some low cal sauce with it.

Is that really just genetics?
>>77059771>>77059809>T.
>>77059765I've had it all my life. Since being a child, being a bloated fat retard and then to being fit. but lifting has definately made them more defined.I have to say, when I was fat I was still strong. As I was moving alot and working doing manual labour. So I was fat but it wasn't sloppy.Picrel.
Yes, fat distribution genetics + oblique genetics. Go look at bodybuilders. Obviously the obliques have a similar shape, but their adonis belt isn't overdeveloped. They have no fat so it's flatter. In the best case it's like comparing fat man calves to the calves of someone with good genetics like Dorian Yates or Arnold they're different things.
>>77059765even when I am fat I have them. id say yes.
hang on a pull up bar and lift your legs to the sides, aint that hard
lmao look at this pathetic dyel that I just spotted at the gym
>>77053568Luckily moot had the last laugh by getting Epstein addicted to 4chan. I can't imagine a worst fate.
>>77058168Wtf 4chan really is a spook psyop.
>>77053564You are a queer.
you should bully him for even setting foot in the gymwhen you spot him, you could "spot" him a little too well and rob him of his gains
>>77058902Epstein became addicted to FNAF futa porn.
We choose to lift, not because it is easy, but because it is fun :^)>anyone can start lifting, you don't need any prior sports experience>you can escape skinnyfat mode in less than six months>it takes less than a year for people to notice you lift>programming as a beginner is piss easy, everything works>diet is just as easy, just eat some protein and avoid fast food, candy and soda>you don't need a gym subscription to achieve a decent physique, you can get a good workout even with a pair of dumbbells from home>mires become so common they don't even register anymore>people notice you lift even under winter clothes>1/2/3/4 makes you stronger than mostly anyone you'll come across in your daily life>once you see results you won't even think about skipping the gym>consistency is the key to a good physique, even if you drag yourself to the gym you'll appreciate every single workout in retrospect>a good physique has a halo effect on anything you doComment too long.
