What did people do at the gym before phones existed?
>>77234152>pretend to check messages on our phone for the 5th time inbetween repsAt least phones have given us a better defense mechanism against unwanted social interaction than erasing and rewriting your last rep count in a notebook between sets.
>>77234121Did gyms exist before the invention of the telephone? Jack LaLanne’s gyms might have pre-dated the touch-tone phone, but certainly not the rotary phone
>>77234121Fucking zoomer go back to your tiktok
>>77234121you mean inbetween lifts? i just counted seconds
I remember it, reality was different. I'd sit down in between sets or walk around a bit, get water, maybe take a look at some girls. Gym sessions felt longer and more relaxed. People actually talked to each other, some guys would give the "nod" when you hit a big lift or were sweating hard. People would bullshit about lifting and stuff, wow it was 100x better. Girls even looked at you when you worked out, now they just stare at their phones the whole time with headphones in. Depressing really.
>week ago>come up to a guy to ask how many sets he has left in a power cage>wait until he finishes>"hey how ma..">he screams "5 SETS" without looking at me>look stunned and surprised this just happened>leave to do dips>hear him talk to his friend about using power cage "some bitch wants to use it"I've never had this happen to me, is this normal for some people?
>>77236874>foreigner crying onlinemany such cases
>>77236802If you're a beginner you probably have a lot of fat your body can burn for energy. Track your calories and shift to more protein while staying at whatever overall calorie amount is needed to stay a constant weight. That way as long az you're working out you'll gain muscle and lose fat. If you aren't a beginner, its not happening. You'll need to gain muscle and fat together and later try and lose the fat while preserving the muscle.

What are /fit/core books? I'll start: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.

Weed is only really good for when you have a girl over and you want to get her in the mood. You shouldn't be smoking it everyday.
I keep noticing something that doesn’t fully match the common narrative:Some people eat diets that are pretty high in sugar and low in fat, yet they stay lean and seem metabolically fine.If fat is so central to health and sugar is the main villain, how does that actually make sense in real life?Genuinely curious—can someone redpill me on this?Would love to hear explanations, personal experiences, or anything that helped you understand how this works.(I know that there are some factors like genetics, quality of food, lifestyles, etc; but I want to find out about how people manage to do better on certain diets, like the ketoschizosfucks or whatever)
>>77236934So can i do little fat and go nuts with the sugar?Lately I've achieved more reps and weight with more carbs
>>77236943Yea but it's not healthy, natties should prioritize fat because they aren't injecting hormones. What's best for maximum performance isn't necessarily conducive to health and longevity.
>>77236634Low-fat diets cause obesity.
>>77236538From what I know, animal fat is good fat, it's the stuff your brain uses to actually function and is really good for the aerobic (oxygen using) system to pull energy from. Fat from plants and what not don't have the same compounds that animal fats do and are either less efficient to pull energy from or just don't at all.In terms of sugar, there's a big difference between actual real natural sugar and holy fuck what is this store bought sugar. Natural sugar usually comes from fruits like apples and is a "slow burning" (for lack of a better term) energy source your brain uses to keep up with things around it, your body can also use it as an extra "quick boost" energy source. The key thing about natural sugar is that it doesn't give you a sugar crash, as it is used over the course of the day rather than all at once.Now with processed sugars like what's in cookies, coca cola and practically everything else today, it is super "quick burning" and hits you all at once. Not only is it processed for sweetness instead of actual sugary energy, this process made it so your body can only use it all at once, which as you can expect, causes a sugar crash and means your body has to store the extra shit it couldn't use somewhere, that somewhere usually being fat.Now I'm not a scientist or anything, this is just from my own experience and what I've learned.I'm pretty sure the animal fats being better is probably due to it being packed with nutrients or some shit compared to other fats.And I think it was due to some form of fibers that fruits like apples have "slow-burning" sugar.The way I live is simple, if it says more than one ingredient on the package, it's probably unhealthy.

Here's your answer.The only difference is that high fat diets are more health and micronutrient focused while high carbohydrates and sugar are solely for sport performance
if you are decently attractive and have posted a photo of yourself you are most likely in some gay guys jerk off collection. you need to consider that before posting a photo
>>77237101they know this, and that's what motivates them

Thank God I’m ugly

What's the best upper body mass exercise to fix a bottom-heavy physique?
>>77236920picking one? probably chin-upsbut fixing a bottom-heavy physique takes time and definitely more than one exercise
>>77236920why fix?your legs strong like ox
get leaner and skip legs
>>77236920Unironically just chill out with the leg sessions and do more upper body work. I had this myself, quads and glutes legit got bigger than I'd like. Slim fit pants weren't even fitting anymore.Now I always half arse leg day, I only squat 315 for 3 sets of 8 every time and don't do any progressive overload anymore. Always the same number of reps and sets, even though I could do more. I don't even do legs every week anymore, only every other week with the one I miss being replaced with an arm day, or sometimes one where I focus on overhead press. I unfortunately have very good genetics for leg gainz but pretty average everywhere else lol>>77236942This too, your legs carry more fat than you probably think. You'll lose more size than you expect when you get legit lean, even dropping from 20% bf to 15% is huge
>>77236920you dont have massive muscular glutes.You're just another delusional fat fuck who ate too much when you started some 5x5 program
I am very overweight and lift with poor form and never been injured. You glassbacks wish you had my genes.
>>77237115Why dont you demonstrate for the class what proper lifting looks like
>>77236263>Cheating>Fat>Not even half romWhy would you post this? Why would you count this as three reps?
>>77237119Uh it's certainly not whatever the fuck you call that egolift brainrot shit you're doing kek

>>77236263not this is good bait
Anyone tried proviron microdosing (10mg or less)? The idea is that it replaces endogenous testosterone from SHBG, significantly raising free T and not shutting down HPTA because it doesn't go systemic and has anti-estrogenic effects. Vigorous Steve said he used it for some of his clients and that it works well.
>>77237043Where do you retards come up with this shit?100mg barely even does anything.>Niggerous Leroy said.......then go ask him instead of shitting up this board with this dumb shit.At least you kept it out of the fraud thread anyway
>>77237060>Significantly raising free testosterone without shutdown of HPTA barely does anythingRetarded negroid.
>>77237063yeah man you're going to totally get jacked from 10mg/day proviron from your "Significantly raising free testosterone without shutdown of HPTA"You fucking queers will do anything except pin test and lift heavy fucking weights.That's why these faggot "influencers" come up with these apeshit ideas to get retards like to you to watch their monetized content and repost on places like this for giving them even more free publicity.Go for it. Buy your overpriced proviron from "Steve" and be sure to post body
you can't just say the name "Vigorous Steve" and expect anyone to know who the fuck you're talking about, OP
It will eventually suppress your hpta, just not as aggressively as other orals. You will also get DHT sides and start to bald if you have the mpb gene. If you're going to take anabolics just go full send or stay away. There's no point in doing this half-in-half out bs, it will be a waste of time and money. The amount of free test you'll gain by blocking some shbg will not translate into noticeable gains. Have you even measured your shbg and free test?
can you guys estimate my bf % (5'10 181.6 lbs)also i used chatgpt to remove my chest piece and other tats so if it looks weird that's the reason
>>77235700that's one way to end up morbidly obese
>>77235641100% disgusting
>>7723564130%
You look like an absolute abomination, like some low level enemy in Dark Souls. Do never post on this board ever again.
>>77235641probably 25-30% ignroe the haters, they're probably 3x your size
he's always looked weird to me. it's the neck, i think. too long and too skinny. arnold never had this problem. maybe he just never hit this pose.
>>77236342>>77236352just the difference of ribcage work which was still popular in arnold's time. arnold is able to control his sternum and raise it up. he doesn't have a "shorter neck" it's literally all muscle control and ribcage development which enabled such movementI mean just look at that, arnold is able to raise his chest an extra half a foot.
>>77236356>>77236352saying chris bumstead has a small frame is pretty hilarious
>roidtroons with unnaty physiques look weird/badMore at 11.

>>77234158it is greatif you dislike it, i can also recommend l.reuteri products, namely probiotics. It's a probiotic strain that actually colonizes your gut
>>77234667you need the lactose and you need the grainsYou may get 1-2 yields from refilling but you'll eventually just have milk that remains milk after a while instead of fermenting to kafir
>>77234397I found the whole milk version but it only came in organic so it was marginally more expensive; also they only had one flavor despite saying they had mixed berry as well (the flavor I wanted); compared to the low-fat version which had like 5 flavorsit's very good though; after surviving my parents household of 80° A/C summers, bland saltless food, and low-fat dairy products: I flat out refuse to eat/drink anything except whole milk dairy
>>77236909>>77237059holy shit it worked /fit/took maybe 20 minutes after drinking half the bottle and I still have a bit more to chug but my stomach calmed down and now I'm just fartin' little poots
Terrible beard growth at age 31What is the cause? Could it be antipsychotics?I heard SR improves beard growth. Im on day 79 of SR at the moment, still no new hairs
>>77235055Hey retard, if the alternative is full blown schizophrenia and psychosis then it's obvious why theyee useful. Yes they have negative effects, medicine isnt magic, but they're less severe than what they treat. They're drugs for real mental illness, not meme shit "anxiety and depression"
Not shaving probably... it grows back thicker when you shave. Perhaps you should shave regularly and see if growth increases, desu.Or maybe you have a vagina.
