thoughts on upright rows? are they really just more risky lateral raises?
>>77108880>t. clown bot
>>77108747Two different exercises. Retards saying Upright Rows are bad, are just parroting the youtube "influencer" content that they gulped up like a whore without any thoughts of their own.Upright Rows, espcially EZ Bar and One handed Dumbell ones are easily top 3 exercise for Upper Back, Traps, Delts, the general thickness that you can see even in clothes. It's a literal fucking ROW and Rows are GOAT when it comes to muscle building. Being strong at Upright Rows will improve other lifts as well. For anyone scared of proper Upright Rows form, here's Arnold swinging like a retard:https://www.youtube.com/shorts/yRc6u1oUUOgYou will never look like you lift (natty) if you don't do Upright Rows.>>77108880You're a DYEL faggot bot.
I've tried getting advice on what I should do next and I'm getting next to no consistency in advice. Getting anything from people telling me I look great and should just slowly build more muscle to being told I'm overweight and need to cut for another year. I don't wanna do something stupid in either direction and waste time.I'm 5 foot 9, 161 pounds in this photo, I was a casual lifter for the last few years after my doctor told me I was severely underweight at 130 pounds so I worked my way up to 170 pounds as of 8 weeks ago. I've gotten more hardcore about diet (eating about 1900 calories and 190g of protein) and progressive overload the last 7 weeks. Dropped 9 pounds, I'm lifting significantly heavier and I'm walking more. I definitely think I have more gas in the tank to cut and maintain strength so I'm not looking for an out on the cut but I want to make sure I optimally balance cutting fat with switching to gaining muscle now that I've gotten my shit together on lifting intensely and eating correctly.
>>77107624>lean bulkI think you should dirty cut. You know. Gain weight while losing weight at the same time. Just eat high calorie food at a deficit.
>>77107624nice tits
Kekke spam
>>77107624i look like this except i dont have tits and i have bigger arms. basically i mog the shit out of you, but we have similar frames
>>77108986I don’t understand the tits comment, I do have some fat there but its pretty minimal, here’s a pic with my arms up.
so how do you actually get to 12% bf?
>>77108964Caloric deficitEnough protein and lifting to maintain muscle mass.Not ruining your sleep or hormones with exercise that exceeds the demands of that diet.
>>77108998it really is this simple, and is also detailed in the fucking sticky but no one has the dedication to truly stick with it, let alone get there at all.you don't even have to lift that heavy. you just have to lift enough that you maintain a certain amount of muscle over fat for whatever weight you're trying to aim for.for most people they don't realize that looking big actually requires you to be way less heavy than they think.
Eat lessif you want to eat, always make sure it's high in protein, because it's the best for satiety.
What do you listen to in the gym?

>>77108566you did not understand my point. The dollar/protein is way off. It,s way cheaper to eat chicken breast for your protein than protein chips.
>>77108249juicing is awesome though and makes me feel good

You didn't lift the weight
>>77106969Sure, if your goals aren't to lift the most weight but then why are you deadlifting?
>>77107132glad to know deadliftfags have never actually lifted anything irl before

>Over 1,500ng/dl total T naturallyLooks relatively averageSo why do roiders look so big, comparatively? You can tell he works out at least a little but he looks normal in clothes and relatively youthful despite being in his mid-30s.I know in my case, being clinically high T, muscle gains never came easy due to recovery and I had to switch to HIT-type workouts with plenty of rest days. I was shocked seeing my numbers when I gave in and got bloodwork which showed high even despite my cut. I also seem youthful despite my age but always have a good, solid mood. Does this shit just pay off overtime or what?
>>77107229Anon do you really think these retards understand any of it either? One day I want you to find one of these threads and look up the science babble words and then spend time reading about some of the concepts you think you're misunderstanding. Save the conversation and come back to it after and be in awe of how fucking stupid the shit that gets said is. It's as bad as reddit now.
>>77106642He has an undiagnosed medical condition which elevates his test levels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1162ouPHH3Q
>>77102623He looks great man, he has a fuck ton of definition you can tell so the amount of T does matter.But at the same time as natty you will never really be super huge which is fine if you want to live long anyway. The biggest you are getting is like Steve Reeves.
>>77107229I mean I can take the time to explain my post, it's mostly just a joke for myself though.>nonionising radiationthis just means any radiation which can not break a chemical bond, either because it doesn't have enough energy (a chemical bond has a minimum energy which must be exceeded to remove the electrons); in the case of the electromagnetic fields generated from high energy electronics, the energy is too low to break bonds, meaning it only has enough energy to induce molecules to vibrate, rotate, or move. It is a direct consequence of quantum mechanics that a system of particles with (At least) 2 energy levels will only ever reach a 50/50 distribution across those energy levels as infinite temperature and infinite time are allowed to the system, but I'm not going to run through the math because that will make it more confusing, so we'll take this as a postulate.When a molecule can take 2 orientations physically, it's called an "isomer." It's made of the exact same atoms, just laid out differently. The difference between these configurations is an amount of energy, one will have a higher potential energy than the other. Similar to a chemical bond, this has a minimum energy to overcome before you can change it, but unlike a chemical bond the energy needed is much much lower.As such, I'm implying the person I'm responding to is retarded for thinking that you can alter the entire human hormonal system by this mechanism.
>>77102638Ha said it might be liver cancer or something like that, i dunno. I hope he's ok
im a 500lb man and ive started to move more recently. my original goal was 2k steps a day and then i moved up to 4k a day. it feels too easy for me and i dont feel like im doing enough but i also dont want to overdo things. i would walk back in forth in my house for about 10m and be at 2k or near 2k. it doesnt seem realistici think it could be inaccurate because im so fat that when its in my pocket its moving more than the average person so it could be double counting or something. google said this is very unlikely.do you think this is a problem? and if so what could be the solution? an apple watch? or some other fitness watch? or what could i do?????
don't know how to help but I can tell you that my Apple Watch always records the same amount of steps as phone in pocketwhy not hold the phone instead of keeping it in the pocket?could even get one of these running shits
Hello lard elemental anon, let’s do some basic math.You say you walk for 10 minutes (600sec) and the app says you walked 2000 steps. Thats over 3 steps a second. You are a deathfat. There is no way you are taking that many steps that fast.
>>77108871this might be a good idea, ive just been told that the pocket was the best and counted the best>>77108883lol thats why im asking questions, retard
>>77108803idk but i remember when i was younger i was bored so i was just throwing my phone on my bed and watching it bounce and then later i checked and it counted that i walked 500m at that time lol
>>77108803Dude if you are 500 lbs "overdoing" things should not even be on your radar.You'll be out of breathe and drenched in sweat tired well before you even get close to overdoing things.

>>77103101As someone with a legit 3pl8 bench, I can tell you that's fake as fuck lol. The form, the way it's moving, something is obviously off about it. But the dead giveaway is when he re-racks it...theres clearly some weight there though. I think that's a legit 2pl8 plus two fake weights. so that's probably a 230lbs bench if the fakes are 2.5 and the clips are plastic/weigh pretty much nothing, which still isn't terrible
>>77105442This. Anon discovers that fake plates exist lmaosweet summer child. wait till you've downloaded Instagram OP
>>77103101Whatever that is, this isn't what a 3pl8 bench looks like. Friend has 1rm 4pl8 squat and 2.5 pl8 bench and that has already more inertia than what is being lifted here, friend is also bigger so this isn't 3pl8
>>77106716Absolutely no way that is legit.
I've noticed when I go outside after working only my upper push muscles and having a pump on them I get looks from women and more space from people when walking.I don't notice the same effect when I pump my upper pull muscles or legs.
>>77107650I was making an example and you are a fucking moron for not understanding the example
>>77108137True, which when you really think about it, these are the exception which are "pull muscles" that are going to be highly correllated with fighting abillity. Neck size in particular is a massive advantage if you got into a death match featuring strangulation.
>>77107610>there are plenty of women around who can beat me at squats and pullupsare you sure you aren't a woman?
>>77108928Third world retard CANNOT fucking understand what an example or analogy is. You are from a "low information" culture which is proof of your lack of evolution. People like you would just grunt at eachother and revert to tonal language if you didn't have to speak english to have access to talking to white people. KEK

Should I just quit weight lifting? I've been going to the gym almost daily for a year now and progress has been painfully slow. I'm still the weakest guy in the gym, just as I was when I started. I checked the mirror and I'm still skinny. Better than full skelly mode, but not the progress I was expecting after ~300 days at the gym.People that exercise every once in a while are bigger and stronger than me. Heck, even people who have never set foot in a gym could probably out lift me on a lot of exercises. What am I spending all this time and effort for? I don't think I'm cut out for this. And I'm not about to start taking PEDs.
>>77105558>learn to lift as heavy as possibleI lift using the heaviest weight. The last reps of a given set I can only get the weight up partially, not all the way.
>>77101101Nah. I have lifted for 15 years and I look pretty good now. It took a while to get good at it and also to form a good supplement stack.
>>77107642>good supplement stackDrop your stack, homeslice.
>>77104655I truly expected a cursed body and zero progress. You had a very decent improvement, give it 2 more years and you’ll look great
>>77107838>You had a very decent improvement, give it 2 more years and you’ll look greatThanks anon. I think my limiting factor is my low appetite. I've plateaued at 150 pounds for months now despite trying to eat as much as I possibly can. I wish there were supplements that boosted appetite.
I need to lose about 7kg with minimal muscle mass loss by June. Is it doable?

Is 6x200kg deadlift strong
>>7710892790kg, straps but no belt
>>77108917>Is 6x200kg deadlift strongThese questions are all dumb without standards. The metric system is also dumb.For having a healthy back 5x135lb is strong.Compared to people in general 1x225lb is strong.Compared to the gym average 1x315lb is strong.Compared to the average powerlifter 1x495 is strong.To win a local deadlift competition 1x800lb is strong.To break the record 1x1200lb is strong.
>>77108932
>>77108927At a certain point though it starts to reverse. If you're 200kg bodyweight a 200kg deadlift is very impressive. But if you're 100kg a 200kg is not that great
>>77108970>local deadlift competition>800lbWhere are you competing? Iceland?
>Broke ankle last week>Can't get CT until the 4th despite it being a fucking stat order>If I need surgery it won't be until mid-March probablyHow fucked am I?

Such bullshit they should be able to identify broken bones and everything then need from the x ray. If your bone broke the ligament is not going to be torn.

>>77108733>basketball>ankle fracturesounds like mineral skill issues. I just got back from crashing about a Brazilian times snowboarding because the snow wasn't compacted enough, and didn't have any injuries whatsoever with only a little padding, even hyper-extending ankles a few times.>t. eats a fuck-ton of minerals doctors generally haven't heard of
>>77108733probably a bit of bro science but my tip would be to do some cold exposure/cryotherapy to keep your ankle as is until surgery. what you don't want is starting a recovery protocol that would make your ankle regenerate in a weird/fucked up way. after surgery you can hop on peptides and all the supplements
