Anyone else get cognitive benefits from creatine? I feel functionally retarded most of the time when I'm not taking it. If I take 5-10g per day I feel almost normal. It's been a lifesaver in some respects. I hope it's not a transient effect.
>>77184000I've been taking this shit for a month and only felt a decrease in post-workout fatigue. Nothing more than that.
just realized I forgot to take creatine for the past 4 dayssorry but I'm convinced this shit is just pure placebocheap enough to take anyway just to prevent FOMO so whatever
>>77185390Maybe. I did take it too. Retains water increasing bodyweight, but shit was dry as if I only ate rice for two days. Added more water to the diet and everything’s fine. Strength gains were so minimal I don’t see added value.
>>77184530>companies benefit from this thing being 'good' so it must actually be 'bad', and if studies say it's not bad, that's just paid-for advertising>source: social mediaretarded bogeyman logic 2bqh
>>77185390It takes some time to load/unload it from your body, so 4 days aren't that critical if you've been taking it for a long time. Considering the impact isn't that big to begin with and you're likely getting some creatine from diet anyways, it's no wonder you can't feel it immediately.>>77185569In theory it gives you some extra energy. It's less raw strength and more not failing those final reps due to fatigue. If I remember it right it's supposed to give around 5%~ extra performance or something, which for no real side effects is ok I guess.

Been thoroughly demoralized and unmotivated and have been considering just stopping weight training entirely. I’ve been doing it for 5 years, and while I’ve had pretty great results, I just don’t see the point anymore.I’ve pretty much just been planning to decrease my intake to 1600 calories a day and live lean.
>>77185507>>77185478Sleep on it bro and treat yourself to whatever for a week or two. You can always just work out once or twice like the other guy said. Like a home pullup/dip bar and some dumbells and you're good for some light home workout to maintain what you got. You can always go back when you're feeling better

There is nothing wrong with switching from a growth to miniatous mindset. You sound like a fag with how you talk though, I dont like you.
>>77185552Well, it’s Friday and I still haven’t done it this week. I’ll do it today though.>>77185691It’s probably what’s best at this point. I don’t care if you like me.
>Longer limbs, longer RoM>Longer levers need 30% more torque and power through reps>Longer limbs mean geometry for classic lifts is fucked>Machines are no better since they're made for short people>Longer muscle bellies mean longer time to achieve more mass proportionally and look goodPic rel is 6'4" with a 396x8 squat and 308x4 bench and has been training for 8 years, even says most men over 6' should expect 5 years to break through the DYEL phase.What's the answer /fit/?Besides roids.
>>77185718Ah right, fair enough. Yeah, like I said I'm shorter but not as lean. The only time my arms didn't look thin af was when I deliberately bulked as hard as I could to about 85 or so, which made my face look borderline chubby but it did make my arms look more normal kek.
>>77184246What a boring dumb person you are (I'm tall btw I just hate dumb boring guys like you)What do people get out of writing dumb boring repetitive shit? I don't get it
>>77184760You're squatting high. You also need to gain 40 lbs asap
>>77185762Yeah I was floating around 19% bf but all my weight is kept in my midsection, I had arm veins but a belly and slight moobs. Even know I have cascades of arm veins and calf veins but still some leftover stomach fat>>77185768Yeah chief I have no clue I just show up and run through mentzer's ideal routine and the leg numbers just always go up but I've had chest/back plateaus intermittently.
>>77185777Checked. If you are squatting almost 5 plates at your height and weight, that is absolutely outrageous. Your other lifts are good too considering what a terrible size and shape you are for this. If you are so good at lifting it would be nice to see what you could do at a proper bodyweight (250 plus) or at least something vaguely human (200 plus)At your size I benched around bodyweight for reps, squatted 2-2.5 plates, deadlifted 3 and pressed 115. And I wasn't carrying fat.
Advice for new runners:- Build up speed and mileage SLOOOOOWLY (start with 15 minutes, increase mileage at most 10% per week);- It will feel like you're going slow, you are; don't worry about setting good times for a couple of months;- If you start to feel pain anywhere, stop and rest;- Don't try to copy what pros are doing. Do what feels natural; and- Once you can comfortably roon 6 miles/10km, start thinking about a goal in terms of race distance and time, and look for a training plan for that goal (see below for suggested plans).>Couch to 5k/Bridge to 10k Guideshttps://www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/running-and-aerobic-exercises/get-running-with-couch-to-5k/https://i.imgur.com/ef98R.png(embed)https://i.imgur.com/qNJIy.png(embed)>I want to run a fast 5k, 10k, half-marathon, or marathonhttps://www.runningfastr.com/https://www.halhigdon.com/Comment too long.

Where to get them? I've heard there are certain suppliers that cut them a ton and are basically saline. If anyone here is taking a stack, where should I source from?
I'm on retatrutide. Shit is insanely legit. I've never lost weight so fast in my life and muscle loss is minimal (take hmb for sarcopenia and lift too) If you want to be shredded by August starting today Get a 10mg vial, a 20mg vial, a 30mg vial and a 60mg vial.Get a pack of u100 insulin needlesGet Eli Lilly brand bac water for injection, you'll only need one bottle.Get some alcohol swabs.The triumph 3 and 4 study did the following and everyone lost 30% of their weight or more by 3 or 6 months (by the time they reached 9mg or 12mg)Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
is there a chance the sources will be completely dried up eventually? I'm losing weight fine without it but I know I'll struggle eventually so the plan was always to just hop on reta or whatever once I reach 100kg or so and can't do it on my own anymore but that's still a while out
>>77184420Completely dry up, probably not. Double and triple in price and be harder to get through customs like what's currently happening in the oils/raws market, possibly. You can get a 300mg kit of reta for under $250 and just throw it in the sock drawer or freezer for later.
>>77184809Post source. The bitch from select wbs is ignoring my messages.
>>77184833I was told no posting of sources. Go to stairwaytogray and just pick a vendor promo or cross reference glp1forums and meso for a vendor. Chatter is customs has stepped up seizures so best bet is using a domestic warehouse either usa or eu if you can, even if it's a slight upcharge

How come your body loses so much muscle once you hop off roids?Like, why does it just start eating the muscle? are human bodies retarded?
>>77184978no you see, anon is a special snowflake, the main character of his story. everyone else is an npc. when they do it, it's retardation. when he does it, he was just finding himself.

>>77163581If you don't do anything in life, you die. It's a constant uphill battle. Who told you anything is permanent?
>>77185024So does this mean all the girls that spread their legs 24/7 in college and then want to settle down with a stable beta were really, actually, just “finding themselves”?
>>77164786>>77168989>>77170720No, the message is that being special doesn't mean you're above having normal human problems. That is, you're "special", exceptional in one area, but you still feel like everyone else, struggle with things that aren't your domain, and can be below others in different aspects of life. Mob has a lot of power, but that doesn't save him from being manipulated by his teacher or coping with stuff by bottling it up until he explodes, as you all noticed.The message is that life has many challenges and to face them all you need to grow as a person. Natural talents or not, everyone has room to improve and should strive for it. Stagnating because you're too high on your own farts just makes you incomplete.Ironically, in this very thread we have many examples of what focusing too much in one aspect (muscles, appearance, e-clout) without maturing in other areas can cause.
Does nothing vs does everything!
>>77185217It's true. Standing single leg is even better.

what's the best way to load standing single leg at home without a machine?i tried putting a bar on my back but it felt kind of risky with higher weightusing a dip belt was ok a first but kind of awkward as the weight went upcan only hold so much in a dumbell, but that so far has felt the overall bestany advice?
Does that thing causes herniated disks?
>>77185238Yes. This is how i fucked up my back. Not kidding. My left foot tingles when not lying down. Its been 10 years. Not worth it.
Assume you were in charge of getting a group of over 300 lb fatties in shape.What would you do?Assume the program you are now in charge of allows you ultimate flexibility in how you achieve this.>butThe fatties are under no obligation to continue the program, they are merely volunteers who have willingly chosen to enter your program and have no legal or otherwise obligation to stay in your program.What excercise, diet, and coaching methods do you employ to make sure the entire group stays and is ultimately successful?Meme answers are allowed but I would like to see genuine answers actually attempting to solve the problem in a realistic feasible way.
>>77185716i'd structure it similar to in-patient rehab, but obviously longer, or maybe like college where you major in not being fat for a yearwe'd do stuff like split into cohorts for friendly competition + improved socialization, we would have a combination of learning classes, exercise classes, and therapy round tablesthe fats would have a core curriculum but would also have the option to sign up for electivese.g., people who doubt CICO can sign up for a course where they learn more about the science behind caloric expenditure and can spend 2 weeks eating whatever they want but will have it prepared for them at a 600 calorie deficitno leaving campus until you've lost >20 lbsdiet will initially be partitioned out but as they continue through the curriculum and losing weight they will be given control over choosing and preparing their own mealsand i'll pin them with reta for a set period, but i will wean them off it without their knowledge or consent using placebo instead (or maybe the plasma of kids, i think that's good for you)
>>77185716write your own training programme you lazy PT fuck
>>77185747Best answer so far.
I'll entertain this.It depends whether if they would be willing to make a change in the kitchen first. Somebody said 24 months as a timeline. The first 24 days are the most important. Let alone two years.If they can commit to cooking their own food as a start. That's promising. And if they have never had fitness experience before, I wouldn't want to scare them by making a complete change in their lifestyle priority to hit the gym straight away. They would be embarrassed to anybody outside of the group.So, they would all need to post progress pictures and encourage each other within the group. And celebrate achievement. Especially that first week.Do something crazy together.The education and coaching would surround what exactly is their maintenance. You got to be careful talking about calories but, maybe framing it in a way that's about the better sources of carbs. We're not cutting things out. We're being mindful of what sources of bread, milk and sugar.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>77185753You may assume you will be monetarily compensated for leading the program.Not a massive sum but enough to make your time and effort worthwhile.

Help a bro with brain fog, social anxiety and depression out please, I just need to feel my brain highly functioning again. I don't have access to any doctor or medically graded strong drugs for the time being and only Amazon.Does any of those supplement help or is it just memes: GABA, Lion's mane, Ginkgo, Griffonia, Bacopa, L-Theanin, L-Tyrosin, Reishi, Rhodiola, Electrolytes, Curcumin, NAC, Ashwaganda?Or is it just placebo bullshit and am I going to waste my time and money?
>>77184123sadly neither are available in my country only aniracetam and piracetam
>>77180506I heard nac makes you depressed if you take it for too long is that true?
on selank rn its pretty good
>>77184200I tried nasal sprays of both selank and semax for a month and felt no changes
>>77180460Fish oil is 100% worth it, not just for nootropic benefits but overall health. Besides that, I can attest for Bacopa and, to a lesser extent, Gingko. I have ADHD and used to take them before meds, mainly Bacopa but tried Gingko too. Took them for about 2 years and felt an improvement, but it was more noticeable when I began Bacopa. Stopped taking them after starting Vyvanse, and they definitely don't come close. However, I started feeling a lot more stress, anxiety and brain fog as the months went on (master thesis issues mainly). Finally decided to try it again 2 weeks ago, and the improvement was once again noticeable. I could feel my brain go back to how it felt 2 years ago, before I started feeling the brain fog symptoms. Not perfect, just not as clouded.The main thing is though, they were the last mile. I had already made an effort to: - be mentally active. Harder not to in my case but still important to do if you don't;- fix my sleep habits and my sleeping pattern (tbf still a bit fucked);- exercise regularly, with focus on cardio;- manage my work-life balance and cortisol;- have no nutrient deficiencies and hidrate;- meditate (look up the default mode network, it's really interesting how it interplays with many conditions like autism and adhd);I'm not done with improving these aspects, but nootropics mainly helped me manage specific problems I struggled with after taking steps on other, more obvious areas. They accelerated my improvement, but I believe they're like premium gas - if you put it on a car that's breaking down, they're not gonna fix it.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
i.. ii think i injury my shoulder bros.
>>77179964Have happened to me. I assume it was rotator cuff. Fucked it up by doing ohp and shoulder press back to back (ohp 60kgx8x5, and shoulder machine press 100kgx6 killed it). Fixed it by not doing either of those for a month and after that returning to ohp with reduced weight (starting with 20kg). Doesn't ever go away fully, but does not interfere much either. It has been a year now and I got to 100kg ohp and 155kg bench press, and the only remainder is that it feels like my arms are going to fall off after latteral raises for good 15minutes.
>>77181303>i woke up and it was just thereIf the pain is next day it's certainly not muscular
>>77179964You leave the shoulder bros the fuck alone, freak. Quit hurting them or I will hurt you.
>>77179964Be very careful with that, I fucked up my shoulder during my teens and never properly addressed it. More than a decade later and it only got worse, to the point I only barely escaped needing surgery. It got to the point where it would dislocate if I rested it wrong on the armchair. I tried working on it by myself, and while it helped, I also made it worse by going too far a few times. It only got significantly better with professional physiotherapy. Your case is probably not as dire as mine, but don't hesitate to go to a professional if it becomes reoccurring, because every fuckup makes it easier for the next time to happen.>>77181303>iam a kettlebell guy and i guess it came from overhead pressIf I were to guess, if it's not just muscle pain, might just be some mild bursitis. It's basically your joint padding tissue swelling and pushing stuff around. But it's likely muscular by your description. Either way, you can probably address it by doing mobility exercises for your shoulders, neck and back. I used to have that pain too, and after being told to do this stuff in physio it went away.>>77182326>I wish I had managed to do that right away and it would've saved me a lot of pain and suffering over the years.Exactly. It sucks when the first thing to fail during your squats is your shoulder. To be fair, it's probably something much milder for OP, so I'm mostly just ranting.

A couple years ago I was eating right and exercising somewhat consistently and went from 300lbs --> 180lbs in the span of about a year. Life happened and I ballooned back up. Looking to take back control of my life again because I hate being an obese subhuman. Today was the first day of gym and calorie deficit, here's to many more. Good luck all.
>>77184739>You should list height too. If you're like over 6' then that weight isnt too bad.You only have to post height for the contest once, but I'm 6'3". I'm skinnyfat so my body fat percentage is still way too high even though I'm now in the overweight and not obese category.I think that that last few pounds of fat are what makes the most visual difference. The better definition is worth the volume/fat loss on your arms. Its surprising how much fat can be there. WAGMI
