Why does progression take so long in this machine?I'm progressing like one, maybe two, reps each workout
Does this work on Manlets?
>>75481747You don't progress with reps you progress with weight.Training for reps has pretty lack luster results and usually involves spamming sets with high frequency but going nowhere near failure like 5 reps-in-reserve. It'll skyrocket your reps when you do go to failure but it won't build muscle as quick as just upping the weight weekly at 2 rir until there is no rir and just keep adding weight in that fashion until you're actually losing reps since there's no reason not to go to failure with high stability machine isolations.
>>75481791nigga you just do three sets of 8, then increase your reps every workout until you can do three sets of 12 then you increase weight

>>75477664I'm a roid tranny and let me estrogen rise to high on a blast. Got awful insomnia.Decided to go to the gym at 3am.Worked out for an hour and a half. Ended up being the best work out Ive ever had. Broke PRs on all my lifts. Went home, ate breakfast, fucked my wife, showered, and slept for an hour before waking up. Sleep cycle ruined for the rest of the week but was totally worth it.
Thoughts on Dr. Berg? Does he give based and redpilled health/nutrition advice, or is it all just a marketing ploy to sell his supplements?>just bought vitamin k2 and magnesium because of his recommendation to ake with my vitamin D3>no, not his brand which now pops up as an embedded video when searching for vitamins on Amazon
>>75478527Gives people a ton of opportunities to consider and improve aspects of their health that their doctor shrugs and wants to give them a pill for. He's not 100% right but he's one of the good ones.
>>75478527Any professional who gives advice alongside shilling products should not be receiving any of your attention. A doctor/nutritionist who is hawking supplements is a conman. Just like Donald trump using his presidency to advertise his bibles and apparel and meme coins. Learn to spot con men when you see them, retard
>>75478527he's a retard.
he's a scientology fag who caters towards retards and selling his supplements to them.

Hello /fit/. It's me. Michael Jackson. Reminding you to ignore demoralization threads and keep working hard. You're all gonna make it. I believe in you. Hee Hee
>>75481537This song and him refusing to sell out to American Sony is why the jews labeled him a pedo and then had him killed.
>>75480921thank you, Michael.
>>75480921Based King of Pop.
>>75480921Thank you, Mr. Jackson. I know that you tried to expose <<<<<them>>>> so they wanted you dead in 9/11. When that failed, they labeled you a pedo and ran a smear campaign
I miss him so much. My next workout will be fueled by your tracks, mr. Jackson.
>Roiding at this size will get you a heart attackSad state of the limitations of the human body that not even being the size of Arnold can kill you. His diet wasn't even terrible aside from occasional cheat days.The human body really is a weak piece of shit. Hopefully gene editing will help make people naturally more resistant to heart attacks and make them swoler as well.
>>75481646The human body is an ecosystem for bacteria.
>Want to get started in lifting? I've got just the program. It's called Starting Strength.
>>75481226Just don't go crazy with the weight at first and keep the reps high-ish like 8-15 if you're a total noob. Please note this phase shouldn't last long, it should be as long as you need to get a movement and have first hand experience with your limits. Not that anon btw I wish I started with SS.

I've been mainly eating mixed mexican vegetables(frozen) with my meat but I'm getting bored of them and they are kinda expensive here. Potatoes are really cheap but all of the recipes I see take too much effort. I am cooking chicken in the oven generally, 200 degrees for around 40 mins or so(a bit crispy but thats how I like them). Anyone have simple instructions on when to add potatoes? Before? How many minutes. Or also I can just boil them I guess and that would work. I really dont give a fuck about taste, I like all food, always had.What are other quick easy ways/tips for cooking you use? I dont want to spend too much time cooking as I don't really enjoy it and that's the main reason I order food usually, but the last few months have been good for weight loss because I find it really easy to cook chicken in the oven + some frozen veggies in a pan, sometimes eggs as well.
>>75481439High carb high protein is the optimal cutting diet
>>75481522If you're trying to lose muscle and retain body fat.
>potatoes>cook
>>75481405you could literally just add them whole along with the chicken, 40 minutes at 200 Celsius will be good for a whole Yukon gold potato if you like a crispier potato cut them up and toss them with oil. 25-30 minutes is long enough but it won’t hurt them to go longer there’s no need to boil them first
>>75481439You need glycogen to lift weights when cutting. It's how you maintain muscle you skinny fat fuck.
I have been going to a kickboxing/MMA gym for 7 months and I'm doing various techniques lessons, spars and had the opportunity to have some fights, I found that I'm improving in terms of techniques, explosiveness, cardio etc.. but when it comes to actual spars & fights I found that I get subconsciously limited ; after a bit of pondering I found that it may due to the fact that when fighting I get scared too much of :- About potentially dying- Getting permanently injured- Hurting others to the point potentially permanently injure them.Don't get me wrong, my goal is to not be "that full egotistic guy" that no one wants to spar with or be a edgy wanna be tough guy, I'd like to test that theory and get beyond those fears because I think that it's brindling my potential.While of course the obvious answer to those will be 'When you're boxing you're going to have to punch / getting punched" "People won't kill you in a sparring fight", I know but yet the emotions still lingers, I know it's natural but I'd like to learn to shove them aside and go beyond them, because in a real fight, the consequences / pain will be there and I can't really afford getting scared over that, ideally I'd like to take care of this issue before that happens.Any advice for this ?

>>75480859Yup, the more I learn about how the world works the more I realize that emotions are literally a meme. Jon Jones is >>>>>>> any other fighter on the planet and he literally never makes eye contact with opponents before the fight. Retard NPCs would interpret it as "hurr he's afraid lol xDDD" but in reality it simply doesnt fucking matter
>sugar is ba-

We have thousands of compounds that do that. The question is how safe is it?
I like how the scientist that discovered it say:Please be aware that the University of Sheffield disclaims any connection to websites that offer 2dDR for the topical treatment of hair loss. When we published our manuscript showing this sugar can stimulate hair regrowth following testosterone-induced hair loss in mice, we viewed this as the first step in the journey towards producing something that is safe and effective for clinical use.However, prior to the sugar being approved for clinical use, it will need to undergo rigorous toxicity testing and be submitted to the regulatory authority of the country in which the first-in-man clinical studies will be undertaken. Realistically, this will be a 2-3 year process. The University of Sheffield does not endorse any company for the development of products for hair loss and we are dismayed to see that our research paper has been cited as if we have a connection to such products – we do not. Patient safety is paramount and this sugar has not yet been subjected to any regulatory authority for approval for clinical use.

guys my right shoulder aches really bad for a few hours after waking up, but then goes away and it feels good as new. it only started yesterday morning and happened again this morning. should i train upper body or should i train only my left arm for a while?

I want to go to a boxing class this saturdayWhat am I in for?
>>75480278I just realized you wrote explicitly: "the training is different if you want to fight" and "it's not a boxercise class"Two things I would say:–you're only there as a first timer. I doubt you're even going to spar. if you do, I doubt it'll be enthralling (other than the idea you're in the closest thing to being in a fight with a stranger) but remember it will not be the positive, happy go lucky, you destroying a dude with all your brain Jiujitsu. It's possible you will get your ass beat, stung, or sat down.–but just keep going. martial arts is a journey. I personally don't buy into Sam's idea that boxing is the ideal combat sport – or maybe it is? –but just keep going. go once. love it or hate it, keep going. if you don't like the gym or the coach isn't great, you can change the gym. if you want to quit martial arts, that's on you.
>>75480372I may be mistaken in assuming you're OP but if not, OP, how expensive is the monthly fee of this gym? No flare, "boxing is a poor man's sport" kinda gyms are maybe maximum $40/40€/mo. If it costs more than that, there's other gyms and/or other combat sports. $200/mo. is for suckers.
>>75480434I'm not american4 classes a month is $35
>>75480414>It's possible you will get your ass beat, stung, or sat down.why people bring this up all the time? i know. i want to get mi shit caved in. i want fight i dont want to do cardio
>>75480060>What am I in for?nothing. you should not even try sparring for months until you get conditioning, learn the concepts, some basic footwork and combinations, and most important how to cover up and protect yourself, otherwise its straight to dainbramage town.
