You're too old for this.
You should've posted this over a decade ago.
That being said if you're really dead set on this, just go for it.

What are 5 things I can do every single day without fail to be healthier (physically and mentally) in three months?

These helped me get in a MUCH better state of health, mentally and physically, in roughly 3 months, after a very low point in my life about a year and a half ago:
>Only drink water and black coffee.
This is obvious and probably the #1 thing. If you drink energy drinks, cut that poison out TODAY.
>CICO, plus cut out HFCS and sugary shit.
Cutting out snacking and being mindful of the calories in your food is a good start.
>Walk 10k steps per day
This is great if you don't already do any kind of exercise and/or you're fat. Even if you *only* lift weights, its important to not be sedentary.
>Go outside
You don't need an excuse. Take walks. Go hike. Do yard work. Just be outside and get sun. This alone will do wonders for your mental health.
>Make a point to talk to people if you're lonely or introverted.
Just small talk with cashiers is good, or reach out to friends to see how they're doing. I don't care if the person you're talking with is a brapp hog 400lb beast. Just the act of interpersonal communication is important. Doesn't matter who you are, interpersonal communication is necesarry for mental health.

I really don't get it. Beer is fucking trash, it's disgusting and terrible at everything it tries to do. Who likes it? It tastes like shit, it can't be mixed with anything, it takes a lot to get you drunk, it's a constant waste of money, it makes you fat. If you're a depressed alcoholic and just want to get drunk, buy some cheap liquor and diet soda.

It’s an acquired taste thing. I would bet anything there is also a genetic factor determining enjoyment of the non-alcoholic qualities of beer.

Vegan "bodybuilding" is not real. Vegans are just thin from not eating enough calories, literally starving themselves.
You will never see a true real vegan with big and strong muscles.

How do I calculate how much I can OHP based on how much I can bench. If I can bench 315, how much can I OHP. What if I can bench 365?
17 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>75121536
Ohp should be between 60-70% of your bench to keep them proportionate. They have some carryover to each other because they're both within the same muse groups with the main movers, but not so much that you don't have to consciously control it. It's perfectly fine to only ohp or to get a disportionaly high ohp. It's unsafe to do this the other way around with a weak ohp and heavy bench press.
>>
>>75123229
If you're not training it then your OHP will be way down on that ratio.

I want to stop being a fatty. I am eating much less than before and I feel the urge to get a treadmill as I am too ashamed to do any walking outside. I also hear that incline walking/jogging is more efficient cardio. I want to get a cheap Amazon treadmill under $200, but I fear that my weight will make the cheap treadmill have a shorter usable life span. Are the more expensive brands better in terms of rigidity/build quality?

The main features I am looking for in a treadmill id that it folds, and has adjustable incline settings.

If someone can recommend either a brand or a model I’d really appreciate the advice.

I weigh 280lbs.

Get a recumbent bike, it'll be easier on your knees. I'm extremely satisfied with my schwinn 270.
>>
>>75122199
Keep the belt lubed up with silicone and keep the nuts and bolts tight and WD40'd. Cheap treadmills aren't built to last but it'll do the job to get you started.
The Nordictrack T5 is one of the most basic models with adjustable incline. I considered it for my 2nd after my cheap one died and I think it's around 800 usd.
>>
>>75123026
The problem with this is it's an actual skill you have to develop and until you do you can't do it enough to make it an effective weight loss tool. But most people, even very deconditioned ones, can walk on a treadmill without any particular preparation.

Go outside idiot. You're never gonna make it if you can't even bear the greasy cross of being unhappy with your current state among other people.

Here's what you do then. You superset it it with other shit. Once it becomes hard just do something else without pausing and then go back to the umping.

Why is everyone saying that time under tension doesnt matter for building muscle all of the sudden?
24 replies and 3 images omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>why do they all say this all of a sudden
because turns out gaining muscles and lifting itsnt really that fucking hard. you move big objects regulary -> your muscles grow. Thats all there is to it. Problem is you could wrap that information up in a single youtube video but they want money so they have to upload regulary about a subject that has pretty much stayed the same since ancient times so they have to come up with pseudo science bullshit and big headlines for troglodytes like you to click. Fitness is a business and you are the retard who thinks he needs a 40€ shaker with his 80€ whay his 120€gymshark leggings, his 80€ trickot a fucking belt, 160€ lifting shoes and dont forget the 240€ air pods because all of a sudden "you cant lift with cables". You are getting played like a fiddle.

I ego bench press but the isolated biceps curls with long and slow stretches with low weights fuck me up like nothing else.
My gut feeling alone makes me feel its right.
>>
>>75123490
>Doing 8 proper reps with less weight and longer time under tension would yield better results than just jerking it with improper form?
no, u just did u shitty singles, time under tension is measured at less than second during every rep then it RESETS no such thing as total time under tension
>>
>>75123893
>isolated biceps curls
only thing u isolate in bicep curls is bicep elbow tendon lol, and maybe front delt - tut on biceps is ZERO however strict u are doing them
>>
>>75122447
>time under tension doesnt
u can't begin about talking about time under tension without isolating the muscle (head) in question
and u can't isolate muscle until it's muscle fibers aren't straight between atachment points

so everybody just agreed time under tension is duration of the set because meeting the required conditions would mean they need to THINK and learn some human ANATOMY god forbid lol

no u are not getting any time under tension with ur shitty set of whatever, it's just buch of shitty singles, u don't even get time under tension in the entire duration of your shit single within ur shitty set

when cloombers absolutely have to they drop the knee and they frequently get injured doing so, cloombers fuck their knees with dropped knee move just as much as they fuck their shoulders pulling in impingement

Bulgarian Spit Squat's

Reminder that front squats offer pretty much the same ass and hamstring activation as a back squat but with more quad activation as well.

Literally no point in back squatting for S&C when you can just front squat and deadlift.

IDC, I only do deficit deadlift.
Best of both worlds.
>Ful ROM babyyyyyyyy
>>
>>75112402
you lift more weight because of a shorter lever, less ROM and because the posterior chain takes a bit more load from the quads etc. not because you overload the primary muscles better. you take away the stimulus from the main muscles squats are supposed to train, for a bit more hamstring work, which is still dogshit compared to any lower body pull, because that's their function. retard
>>
>>75113084
you fail because your quads are weak, causing you to fall farward, not your upper back. the upper back is never the issue, it's either poor flexibility or the posterior chain taking over the movement. try unracking the weight in the front squat position and holding it for 30 seconds, and tell me if your upper back is even remotely tired.
>>
>>75123094
It's literally always the issue. Posterior chain involvement will not cause you to fall forward. Poor flexibility could cause falling forward on back squats, but not of front squats - they require 0 lower body flexibility.
