I recently took a blood work and got 37ng/dL of total testosterone, which is completely inside the normal interval of values!!!!! but for women, not for young adult males. Turns out I'm unable to naturally produce testosterone on my own and I have an appointment with an endocrinologyst in a month, and he will likely ask me to start doing TRT.One month is a lot of time. I play a certain sport for fun, and this sport in particular makes use of lots of different muscles, from your lower muscles, to your core, to your upper body. What can I do to maximize the efficiency of how I deal with my body composition, given that my BMI is 26.5, that I'm pretty fat (I'd estimate my BF is at (26±2)% and that consequentially, my muscle mass isn't very big?
>>77363842I really don’t understand the question. Are you asking “what can I do for the next month, before I get my testosterone prescription, to enhance my sport performance?” If that’s the question, the answer is fuck it. Do whatever you want and it will make minimal difference because you’re basically crippled right now. In a month—once you have proper hormone levels—then you can bother with tryhard minmaxing. You’ve basically asked “hey, I have no legs but in a month I’ll be getting prosthetics—how can I jump better before then?”
>>77363903I understand what you wrote, my point is that its extraneous nonsense. You dont need trt. You're fat. That's why your test is low.Lose weight, fatty.
extreme gooning is not a sport

>have to go to bed while its still sunny outside because I have to wake up at 5am to go to the gym before my wagie job because the gym is too flooded with faggots from 4pm to 10pmAdulthood sucks I miss being a student not having to work and could stay up late and lift whenever
>>77366214Im a 3rd shift wagie and just joined the gym. The parking is so bad they had to acquire more land for parking spaces. And even THOSE are filled. So i find if i go right after work, there's less people. It's not bad, but there's still too many tryhards at that time. I wish i had it to myself without annoying fuckheads flexing in front of the dumbells and taking up power racks for their bags. Last night my shitty supe fucked up and kept us another hour and I had to go to the gym late. It was ALREADY filling up with tryhards. By the time I left at 5AM the parking was already full. Why are so many fucking people working out???
>Work 6 AM to 2 PM>Have a gym right next door that I use from 2:30 PM to 4. >Always near empty when I get in Honestly working a job that starts early is a damn blessing considering you can end early and beat traffic
>>77366214Buy a sleep mask and some ear plugs. These two things helped improve my sleep quality a lot. losing sleep == losing gains so do whatever you can to fix it.

How to get abs? I am not interseted in other muscles, just the abs, here is my training schedule1-dragon flag 3×62-leg raises laying on the floor x1003-single leg bridges to balance the ab work4-do that every other dayWhat do you think?
>>77367707Listen to advice for once fat boy
>>77367707First day?
>>77367421Do exercise that targets your abs, and fast until you have no body fat on your belly.Stuff like excessive carbs, alcohol, dairy, poor sleep and so on will severely hinder your progress.
abs are for niggers and faggots.
I am literally skinny5'11 64kgI just want absCan i do it with just home excercises?I think my question is shrimple>>77367519Thanks for the bench advice, ill replicate it on my bed

>>77367681i'm not even sure what this sentence means since cock and ball torture isn't something i'd ever be into, gross>>77367684thank you, and you're already taking the first step. I was a part-time alcoholic at my 2nd heaviest, but my choice was Vodka. turns out even lower-calorie vodka can still pack the cals on, so take it easy dude. It's not an easy habit to break, but so worth it. I believe in you!>>77367688>>77367788thank you, this is the smallest i've been since i was in highschool. it's taken me around 2 years, but i didn't do any diets. no keto, low carb, etc none of that bullshit. just logged everything i ate until i memorized it. /fit/ was truly inspirational

>Why are you wasting a musclemommy like this on a powershitter? Bring him a slampig and a bottle of l-carnitine.
>>77367115Fucking lmao
>>77367796Do you know why all the gym hates a Powershitter? You think your PRs and your belts and your belted PRs make you a sicker cunt than everyone. May I tell you a secret? You're not a sick cunt. You're just a fat little man who is winded after 1KM.
I was hiking yesterday and feel on my open hand. It wasn't that bad and only hurts if I push it. It's definitely not broken or anything major. How long should I wait until I start lifting heavy with it again?
If you are in your 20's maybe four or five days, ice it and eat some protein. Longer if you are older, make sure you have good range of motion before you lift.
I'm much more on the hiking/cardio side of things than the lifting side, so I'll give advice the rest of the board will probably call shit:>how many people do you know, personally, that are weak because they take too much time off?Vs>how many people do you know that can't work out nearly as much as they used to because they overdid workouts while injured?Its usually a back issue instead of a hand issue, but I'll advise you keep with the routine at a lower weight that doesn't hurt.Try going back up gradually, where the pain is "work pain" instead of one hand feeling off or wrong
>>77365834Just take a week off bruh, let it heal up. Id do some fasting and cardio during that week off lifting, desu most of us could do with that, strip off a little fat
>>77365834take a salt tablet
And yes, for the last 2 years I have been buzzing it. I am fine with buzzing, but was wondering if anyone had any success with topicals like coconut oil or castor oil with the addition of a daily dermarolling/massage routine? I waited a few weeks until I noticed the small white hairs growing in the patchy areas, then began applying castor oil with 15-30 minutes of scalp roller after application. Is this all in vain? Am I being a faggot for holding on? Any thoughts or insults to snap me out of cope are more than appreciated. Also, if this is off topic to /fit/, what board do you suggest?
Brought mine back from a similar state to a fairly full feeling head of hear, albeit with a receded hairline. It actually grew back and thickened along the crown. Worth a try if youre bothered. Best thing to do is keep it buzzed and do the topical for 6 months and see if the difference is worth the effort. Its also cool to just be buzzed and be in shape with stubble/beard.
fin/dut and minoxidil. Everything else is cope. Get the topical if you're afraid of pills

What exactly defines a “Sleeper Build”? Does this count as one? Didn’t expect this Asian girl to be this seemingly buff. What kind of training produces this?
>>77361944Whomst?
>>77361788>>77361582bumping also because I wanna know her PR deadlift
>>77361795I always wanted to 'not look like I lift' if that's what you mean, while still having a 'good' physique. I'd rather people think I'm active with good genetics than a gym rat. This has been successful, the main thing being not to train arms. If you have not very impressive arms, most people will think you don't lift even if the rest of your body is pretty good. >>77363309butterfaces>>77363327notice they often get this maniac grin in pictures next to much taller guys
>>77361582PUT YOU TO SLEEP BUILD,BORE OFF,TWINK
>>77367475I don’t know what this even means
Today I dared to lift heavier. Seated OHP with dbs.Instead of picking the usual 55 lbs dumbbells, I went with 60 lbs and managed to do 5 strict reps. I felt pretty good. First it was 2pl8 flat bench x7 reps, now this. I feel like I have made it. I'm at 165 lbs bodyweight
>>77364535>>77364533Here come the crabs in the proverbial bucket

>>77367527curious why fat people are not considered aesthetic
>>77361572I had the opposite effect, girls liked me when I was fat and now they ignore me when I’m fit
>out of breath after the 2nd setHow do you fix this?
>>77366983I cant do these without swinging. If I dont want to swing I can only do 5 because I have to go slow. If I could go fast and had something to stop my feet I can do 10
>>77366983rest longeri have like 1 or 2 hour rests between setsit's best to have a pull up bar at homes so you don't have to wait at the gym
i do a set to failure every waking hour
>>77366983I'm 100kg and I can't even do 10 reps anymore. It's too difficult even though I've been lifting heavy for a decade.
>>77367599Nigga, how is that possible? I'm 105kg myself and I add 15kg of additional weight and do 3x6 easily. Did you do bodyweight only for your entire lifting time?>>77366983Cardio unironically. /fit/niggers are afraid of cardio for some odd reason, because of that you're pretty much leaving gains on the table since you're not able to perform harder in lifts. It's stupid.
