Desperation postMy back/hip is fucked. I'm going to the physio on fri but I'm in a lot of pain.Symptoms are as follows>SIJ in left leg>spondylolithesis in L4/5>extremely tight hip flexors>referred pain into adductors on both legsFrom what I've been researching, tight psoas may explain all of the above. I've got one of these pso-rite massage things coming tomorrow.Anyone have experience with them?Does my supposition on tight psoas sound right?Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>75284417oh my
>>75284417>spondylolisthesis at L4/L5A tight muscle isn't causing this, your L4 vertebrae is shifted forward over the L5 vertebra. I had it at L5/S1, and ended up needing surgery to fix it. It's not a symptom but more likely the cause of your issues. I don't have any advice other than listen to your doctors, don't overdo it, and try ALL alternatives to surgery.
>>75284979The spondy has actually been alright for a while. The SIJ is what's more causing me trouble
>>75284496My pain was nowhere near my hamstrings but everything is tied together. Tight hamstrings pull pelvis, pelvis pulls spine.
>>75284995Then look into KB Swings. It was immensely helpful for me when all was said and done after my back surgery. It's great for the whole posterior chain as well as deep core muscles. Clear it with your doctor or physio first, your lower back is one part of your body you don't want to screw with.
There is literally nothing wrong with brosplits
look around at the gym and you'll notice most people just half-ass it and wonder why they don't progress at all. then they get home and shit on whatever routine they were using because 'it didn't work'. same thing with fat people who leisurely walk to lose weight, that shit doesn't do anything for the metabolism
>>75284811also the big issue with a bro split is that the body needs the arms/shoulders to work out the chest and back so it's not as effective. better to do a back/bi's, then chest/tris, then leg/core while finishing each workout with a high-rep full body lift then rest a couple days and repeat
>>75284821That's PPL with too many rest days.
>>75284802your mom is a bro split
Its heating up now, its been a hot weekend, yet the gym has been dead as fuck yesterday (saturday) and today (sunday)Usually when it heats up the gym gets packed, complete opposite this year, have people given up on the gym?
>>75284804Fuck off fatposter
>>75284816PITTAS
Ok, which of you niggers was marching through Corowa this morning?
>>75284949
I envy the dead.
Why do most people lack accountability and refuse to take action on the one thing they can definitely control (their health)? Is it really that hard to do your cardio and not eat 24 donuts everyday? I always feel so much better about my depressing life when I see how many people just refuse to take any sort of action over their bad choices and instead wishes the world would change to their will
>>75284929>Why do most people lack accountabilityThey're fed the lie daily that the reason people are fat is a mystery, or at the least was a mystery until the newest fad diet came out.The fact that real doctors are willing to perform gastric bypass surgery essentially proves to anyone lacking in willpower that their weight isn't their fault.
>>75284929Because society in general is apathetic. If you are overweight and eat poorly, you can still walk, talk, drive to work, watch TV etc. It doesn't visibly affect your life
>>75284929How dare you show me this filth OPGet a rock from outside and set it under a tungsten light in your basement and draw the rock from 100 different angles and don't leave until you're finished
>>75284929cos they can't be fucked
>>75284929it’s hard for me because I’m mentally stunted.
Is your family supportive of your fitness endeavours?
>>75284018It's better than nothing but honestly it doesn't help as much or feel as good as you'd think. You still have to think your own thoughts, feel your own feelings, and do everything yourself. Women aren't empathetic in my experience. They can kind of pretend to care, but they don't truly care like you want them to. It sucks.
>>75284018My mother is a narcissist and can hardly pretend to be interested in anything I do that doesn't involve her.
>>75284018You should prepare yourself RIGHT NOW to the possibility that you will never be truly loved. And by that I mean no one will ever actually pay attention to anything you might achieve in your life, unless it benefits them in return (yes this is how women's mind work)
>>75283987no, my mum always used to complain about me eating too much compared to her (i did badminton, lifted 5x per week, running 3x per week and am 6 foot 2 and around 195lbs at the time and she is 5 foot 3 and like 110lbs, sedentary )
>>75284018Lol!
BEHOLDThe actual real Gainz Goblin which is also a life essence GoblinSTOP PLAYING VIDEO GAMESYOU FUCKING FAGGOT
i will never understand hateboner improovers have for vidya and i dont even play it, on other hand all they do is overdoing normal shit like cold showers or le science based lifting. whats next wiping my ass with sandpaper?
>>75284885>he wipes his assWhat a fucking bottom faggot
>>75280268neither are bad, enjoy as much as you can
>>75280088I, for example, am not a faggot like rest of your replys and ackshually agree with you. Single players are comfy af and OP is a nigger
>>75280088no idea about elden ring but i think bioshock is actual work of art. or half life(unironically never played it but story seems cool) outlast aswell
I was walking alone in a dark alley in bulgaria yesterday when I got challenged to a fight by 12 guys, I kept walking. I think they may have wanted my headphones. I am convinced if that had escalated, I would have died or ended up in hospital.
>>75284918how did you get away from that
>>75284918dumb frogposter
>>75284918okDid you have something fitness related to say or ask?
>>75284947Fighting is fitness related. OP is good.
>>75284918>in BulgariaNobody talks like this. Nice LARP 1/10
How unhealthy is my "comfort" meal?Ive been making it since I was a kid every couple of months and it always makes me feel good>crack 2-3 eggs into cooked pack of instant ramen and maybe add some veggied then fry in butter
>>75284749>this is not your personal journalYes it is, this is exactly what it is and pathetic losers with nothing better to do will answer my personal post that adds nothing to the board, deal with it pussy
>>75284584Ramen has seed oils, you fucked up.
>>75284584it's not that bad. maybe 500 cals tops? you're allowed to eat shitty food here and there.
it's a pretty decent meal with instant ramen being the only drawback
If you made it with normal noidles there would be absolutely nothing wrong wuth it. Maybe try it with real ramen noodles and see if you still like it.
I really, really need a drink right now (family shit). But instead of pouring myself a whisky, I'm gonna go work out.
>>75281134>>75282009Based.I didn't drink alcohol yesterday despite having had an urge. I know this is just one day but I'm an absolute alkie so I'm genuinely happy about myself right now.10-12 hours of today to go, wish me luck bros.
>>75282477>I'm on the brink of seeking professional help, honestly.Maybe you should actually. I dunnk what to tell you. From what I heard, AA is shit. Maybe read Allen Carr's book on quitting alcohol a few times.
>>75282577I don't think you're addicted, if you can go months or years without it. You just smoke occasionally.Don't get me wrong, it's still better to not smoke at all than smoke occasionally, I just think you shouldn't consider yourself addicted. It's holding you back. Just realize you are free and you will be able to go without indefinitely.
>>75282593>I don't even remember 99% of it so what's the point. >I think I do it because I want to disappear from life for awhile.That's exactly why I do it. To be out a little. I get stupid and just happy in THAT exact moment. Then the next day I'm in the lowest of lows. I really think I gotta stop, this month I've lost 2 phones, and finished up with a head injury in the hospital without knowing how the hell I finished up like that. I'm pretty sick of myself and not achieving nothing because of self sabotage. I have good friends, I'm a extrovert and actual popular guy, I have good job opportunities, and I ALWAYS fck it up because of alcohol. I'm weak, things finished up with the girl I like and I'm drinking more lately, but I'm fckng 29, I shouldn't be suffering like a fckng teenager over a girl that I think that never even really was 100% into me. Any tips to stay clean? >>75282535This also applies.
>>75281134>>75282009LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
How would you rate my back gaines?
nice v taper, but did you really need to cinch your waist in like that?
>>75284709good shit>>75284762its the standard for that back pose
>>75284709Not bad, keep working hard.
>>75284808it's kinda gay desu
>>75284709How the fuck do you get latsMine are nonexistent, like actually to the point where they dont exist if i do a lat spread
Is this shit legit? I wouldn't mind spending a couple hundred bucks for a good travel solution.
It's legit but it's not portable because you need the retarded platform plus several wheels. Plus these things are stupidly expensive.
>>75284653I bet they make weights that you fill with water
>>75284854?
>>75284923There are probably weights you can buy that you're supposed to fill with water. That way you could travel with them by pouring out the water before you pack them.
>>75284934Oh I see yeah that seems the easiest solution
i have a strong emotional attachment to eating lots of food and it is making weight loss almost impossibleive been fat since i was a baby, parents were thin but we were a big happy family who always had a lot of rich good food for every bday and holiday and celebration and weekend etc etc, we were the place kids would come to to eat lots of pizza and play vidyabut obviously i associated eating with good times and ultimately it's tied to my happiness and i find that so hard to fix as an adult. Being fat hasn't kept me from getting a gf or a good job and I've also been able to get enough discipline to become a powershitter and im very strong but ultimately that was just a cope for being unable to lose weight successfullyIve gotten "thin" twice in my life, first time on sheer willpower second time on EC stack but I eventually put it all back on and ive done it all, cico, keto, long fasts, adf, 6 small meals a day, tons of protein, tons of veggies and ill get to max 2 weeks before something stresses me out and I crush a pizza and a bag of candyI want to lose weight so bad and ive tried a lil therapy once but wasn't much help, im tempted to get on ozempic but I'd really like to understand why my appetite is so high and why I can't manage to suppress it naturallyI want to know what being lean is like, feel like I'm in a fat prison all the time
>>75281757If you have insurance, most cover dieticians, gym memberships, fitbits, even running shoes. Look into it. Most people that have motivation issues are around enablers with no one to ride their ass and keep them in line. A weight-loss specialist you see every couple of weeks that's going to ride your ass when you fuck up and pat you on the back when you don't (as well as helping you make plans and whatnot) can be effective if you don't have anyone else to do it. I hate enablers 10x more than I hate fatties.t.dietician.

>>75284311At least he isn’t muslim
>>75282623its crazy to think there is a world or scenario out there where a guy (rich/alpa/famous) can wake up, doggy that ass, have a lush breakfast by the pool, slap and eat that ass, go to the beach, swim, sunbathe, snooze under the parasol , dreaming of going home and eating that ass again, have a cold beer, sandwich and fruit smoothie served to him, go back to his pad, eat & tap that ass, have a shower, nap in the evening sun then go out for dinner, have a steak and beer while thinking about bringing her back to his pad again to bury his face and hump that ass pronebone or whatever he feels like then wake up and do it all againmeanwhile 99% of us are living in the cold with tones of stress and problems
>>75284510so true
How much you bench press is all that matters.
>>75282842I hate being bench mogged by guys at the gym. My chest is so small. Any tips that'll help me get girls?
>>75283605You get saggy mantits if you're fat, all the benching in the world won't fix that unless you lose weight.
>belt>arch>leg driveyep that’s cringe
>>75282842290 was the last time I tried my max. I haven't benches in months now. Don't give a shit about it
>>75283605It really doesn't. The only thing incline does is lengthen the range of motion. The only reason you'd gain there on incline is for the first time you're benching with deeper rom. If you learned to bench in this first place this wouldn't be an issue.
Is this pretty close to maxed out naturally? Can you go any further without PED's?
>>75283077>wes buy my yelling at you course watson>masculineyou know what to do.
>>75282697>body covered in needle scars
>>75282697This guy turned out to be a fraud and he was a snitch and wasn't in gen pop in prison and he wasn't even in some hard ass prisons.Also spent way less than 10 years and it was for robbing some old lady's house or something lmao On top of that married some whore single mom with a halfbreed kid, true alfa
>>75282781The tattoos are doing a lot of work
>>75282697Can't look like that very often natty, maybe if you cut every two years.
I was squatting a few days ago and felt sudden pain in the ribs, left side, around the lower part of the ribcage.I tried to do another rep but the pain was too strong, it felt like a pop or something.I'm not using a belt. Could it be a injury to the rib cartilage ? If it is how long to heal, its been 4 days and i feel zero improvement.It doesn't hurt when i breathe, only when i rotate my torso or bend over, squat, etc.
could you have pulled a muscle in your back
Its 2024 and we're still fuck peoples backs up taking them out of the gym for good, I cant believe how we successfully psy-op'd millions of people around the world to fuck themselves up LOLNo wonder Jews keep doing their Psy'op's, this shit is addictive
>>75284894I don't think so, when i press with fingers around this area, that's where the pain is.
