I'm trying to get my forearms bigger and particularly focus on my grip strength but preferably exercises that do both, so what are some exercises I can add
>>76940808Doing both forearm size and grip simultaneously has already been mentioned above so I'll focus on just grip if you really want to isolate.1) Pinch exercises: just pinch various flat objects like a bumper plate (preferably something heavier) and lift them straight up and down (keeping the weight and your hand perpendicular to the ground).2) Crush grip: those grip strength trainers - that's what they're for.3) Hold/carry: farmer's walkWhen you're doing any of the other lifts other anons suggested, you could also wrap a towel around the bar for added difficulty. If you want to spend money, those Fat Gripz do actually work well, but I think most people will be just fine with the towel trick.

>>76940854I already do the reverse(overhand) curls and wrist curls but they don't seem like they do anything for me. I do 3x8-12 for 110lbs in both.>>76940861Thank you>>76940855I already do them but they don't seem to be enough my grip on a dynanometer is only 126lbs
>>76940861I've noticed that when I do rows, my grip fails 5-6 reps before my back does. My dad's got some of those grip trainers - will they help with stamina, or just grip tightness/strength?
>>76940808Dead hangs. Load them once you get decent time. Other than that, what >>76940861 already mentioned. I found pic rel work quite well too. Either hang from them or attach them to some plates and lift them.
What supplements or diet should I try to sleepmaxx? I can barely sleep 4h a night, I'm at a point where I'm disassociating from lack of sleep and people think I'm retarded
>>76939350I just completed a month of maxing out every day, plus accessories. My CNS was fine, mental drive stayed strong throughout. It was my joints that were objecting. CNS is a myth.
Sleep has been solved a long time ago>make room dark, quiet, cold>don't eat 5 hours before bed>turn off screens 30 min before sleep time>do some breathing technique to lower heart rate and cortisol>take melatonin, magnesium, glycineIf you do this you should get at least 80 sleep score every night.
>>76939405Based and 1rm pilled
>>76939237start with magnesium bisglycinatestart vitamin d3 maxxin or getting sun in eyes as soon as you wake up to reset circadian rhytmalso remove blue screens 3 hours before sleep
>>76939806>magnesium bisglycinateThat actually kills my sleep (makes me wake up at 3 a.m. and not be able to fall back asleep). Magnesium Carbonate works fine for me. You have to be careful, depending on genetics the Glycin may be bad for you.

Mires have dropped off like crazy after the summer time. Not sure why.

>>76932195Truth is, you got too real. Sometimes women just want you to be a hot fantasy that doesn’t actually have a brain. Men are the same way, sometimes. Personality distracts from the horny unless you’re already deeply in love and have gone through the lust / love merging process

>>76936594>Muh zoomiesRetard, the older ones (about half) didn't grow up in the social media era. Only phone i had as a kid was a nokia blockia i sometimes played snake on. I'm starting to think millennials are REALLY hung up about their age. Hence why they think zoomers are like 10 years younger than they actually are. They want to believe zoomies are eternally young, because if they aren't, it means they themselves are OLD. Never mind the irony of you and other millennials routinely posting on söycial media. For example, is Kike Israetel a zoomer? A lot of the bigger lifting channels are run by millennials with a söyllennial audience.I also see plenty of people with salt and pepper hair wasting their time on Instagram or Twitter or even this site. Face it, you're fucking old as shit.
>>76936572Cause he's 6+ inches taller than all of them
>>76936656You are correct. Common Filth has archives of bodybuliding f*ggotry & Arnold was definitely a homo.
Is this body type achievable natty with calisthenics?
A year and a half assuming you diet and everything is dialled in
>>76940605Yes if you do it 5x week. So do it. Dude.
Training alone will not get you there if your diet isn't good. If it is, this isn't too hard to achieve depending on where you start from
>>76940605Yes. Easily and more.In my first few months of calisthenics I cut hard and gained a better than normie tier physique and mogged.Be strict with your diet and enjoy the newbie gains.
So I'm new at the gym and I'm a skinny white guy. I don't need to lose fat but I would like to gain muscle. Protein powders are expensive. I love cottage cheese and it's super cheap. Seems quickly digestible also. Is there any reason to not eat cottage cheese as a post workout protein snack in place of expensive protein powders?
>>76940889No. It's casein which is also sold as powder.>inb4 whey absorbs fasterDoesn't make it better.
would lifting have saved him?
>>76938507Even though he was much smaller, if he had better cardio, I think he couldve done better. Jake is lowkey a better "boxer". In the earlier rounds he was doing amazing at dodging AJs punches. Good headmovement. Even landed more hits in the earlier rounds. If he had better cardio he couldve kept that up and won on rounds.If he was heavier/bulked up for this, i'd imagine his cardio would be worse.
>>76938631Tarantino won
>>76940748This is a White genocide humiliation ritual!

I have a lump in my armpit that I hope is aggressive cancer so I have a good excuse to leave this pathetic excuse of existence.
>>76940871I'm coughing a bit of blood up. I'm glad. Saw it and was happy.
Man, the amount of doom and gloomposting here saddens me. I think what this board needs is a bit of optimism. Post about things that happened in your fitness journey that made you happy, laugh, or improve. Can be as big as winning a sport match or as small as losing a few pounds
>>76940261Thank you for the advice. I'm not nasty in any capacity, i'm, tall, lean and muscular, have a full head of hair, groom myself, dress well, have an okay face, not autstic, even somewhat extroverted.But i am not going to use apps and start going on dates with "anything that breathes", i'm Catholic and wouldn't feel comfortable entering a relationship knowing it's not serious.
>>76940364>>76940474Enjoy that virginity, I guess - you're going to have it for a while. Then you're going to settle for a land whale or a butterface anyway.
>>76926307they aren't conscripts. they signed up on they own
>>76939831a big thing most guys on here don't realize is you need to actually go places. I always have girls staring at me in the gym but it never goes anywhere just due to them immediately putting up a bitch shield. Fucked me up and I thought I was just ugly.FF to getting into flag football just to play some sports. I wasn't even going for girls but the sheer amount of positive female interaction is astounding outside of the gym. It's like in the gym for girls it's a no go zone on ANYONE that they don't deem 'threatening,' in terms of them dating.

what's the point in working out more than twice per week. isn't hitting the same exercise twice per week enough to stimulate progress? like, just do a full body routine twice per week and you could use all that other energy for something else like not being an autistic neet
>>76939296Iirc they've shown that gains can be at least maintained on 1 session every 2 weeksI think that's probably especially true if you're using that time you save to do an athletic sport instead, so you're not just wasting away between sessions, but you're not blunting the gains stimulus either, but idkI like this article for discussing training frequency for ordinary peoplehttps://www.painscience.com/articles/strength-training-frequency.phpBasically just try it, hard enough for a long enough period of time to really see, and then report your results
>>76939296The way I see it, there's the variable trifecta of frequency, volume and intensity. The more you want to increase one variable the more you have to reduce the other two. So the key is to get a balance of all three in a schedule that is actually doable to you.
>>76939503It's one of the few things where the studies and actual coaching agree. So don't come at me with this "fuck science" bs when you don't know what the science is or what the reputable coaching recommendations are. Also you're retarded frequency is how often you're hitting a muscle not how many time you work out. PPL is x2 frequency UL is x2 frequency. Fullbody every 3rd day 2.33 fullbody every 4th day is 1.75
>>76940278>Iirc they've shown that gains can be at least maintained on 1 session every 2 weeksThat's been my experience. I figure once every ten days is safest. I only train the big lifts though. I've always wondered how guys who do three dozen different exercises maintain when they need a break.
>>76939296It really depends what you do all dayIf you have a manual work that make you move your body, two full body 1hour sessions are OK to be in good health and and ok-tier fitIf you have a sit-at-desk job and you do 10 steps a day, two full body sessions are not enough to just survive 5 years without losing your low back or knees
