>start gym in October>need butt procedures so can’t go for 2 months>start again in Dec>tweak back doing barbell rows on third session>can barely get out of bed a few hours laterWhy is this happening to me. I just want to get /fit/.
Lifting is for normal healthy people. You’re a crauchard with ass problems. You need to do isometrics for cripples until you build the bare minimum amount of strength to do the most basic bitch lifts, it hurts but its true
>>76949620relax it was just hemheroids. ive been doing 5x5 from low weights, shouldnt be crazy.
>>76949615>tweak back doing barbell rows on third sessionyour form is bad, your lower back is too weak to do barbell rows, and/or you're using too much weight.unironically rest until its healed and then do deadlifts at least until your lower back is strong enough to support barbell rows. if you want to hit your upper back while shit heals do seal rows.if you're squatting, check your squat form too.
How long does it take you to roll out of bed and get moving?
>>76948037No the light has gone out of my life. I’ll be fine I’m sure, but I’m not doing much more than holding it together for the moment.
>>76948180Same>>76948037Also yes
On workdays, probably about a half hour. I keep hitting snooze, I'll even get up to turn off my alarm clock across the room and climb back into bed half asleep.Weekends, I bedrot for an hour or two then doomscroll until about 3pm when I start getting ready to gymcel.I used to be so much more fun
5 seconds. I don't even let my body aknowledge tiredness, and it passes after 2 minutes while you are up. When I smoked weed it took me a while though
>>769449893-5 minutes but I'm usually getting up for my kids 4-5:30 depending on the dayIf I get a full night, 6:30 on im usually ready to hop up immediately
Does it matter at all which one of these I use for tricep pushdowns?
>>76949148lol
>>76949058Yes. You want to use the stiff straight or angled bar so you can exert as much force as possible because there is no instability introduced by the rope. >b-but much stabilizersStabilization is just keeping balance. Push down is for training the triceps. Might as well focus as much as possible on training the triceps and not worry about trying to get your abs, glutes, or shoulder involved more at the expense of training the triceps.
>>76949072the two parallel handles attached with a V are good for rows.
>>76949058I want to see an illustration on how this equipment is used for tricep pushdowns
>>76949148>How the heck do you bend your wrist enough to keep your hand flat on it?straight people can do it. it's in the name of the bar.
Do vitamins K2+D3 actually repair teeth?
>>76949431Woah I fucking love science. That's how all cells are. Just because you don't see a capillary reaching each and every cell in that picture doesn't mean they aren't getting supplied nutrients via the bloodstream.
>>76949407Point: missed

how are you meant to get enough protein everyday just to stay healthy without spending a fortune on food with the rise of inflation?
>>76948723Protein is cheap
>>76948723>without spending a fortune on foodI spend more on food than most people spend on rent just to avoid eating a bunch of goyslop, kek.>t. ~$250/wk grocery habit while bulking
>>76949442What
dont look at protein intake as a daily thing but as a weekly metric, its okay if you dont get all your protein in one day just that the average of your protein over a week is enough to sustain/increase your gains.the amount of protein actually needed is wildly exaggerated and only useful for professional athletes, your dyel ass would be better suited training with more intensity in the gym
>>76948723>try to get a job that's decent in terms of pay and hours>save money so you can investYou should also take care of your financial health, anon. The sooner you start, the better.
Why has fat acceptance been on the rise (among retards, admittedly) in the last decade or so, while thinness is still generally viewed universally as bad or sickly?
>>76948279Ozempic is killing fat acceptance >>76948297He made an Ozempic joke?
being too fat is less dangerous than being too skinny in terms of life expectancy.
>>76949453It actually isn't. Slightly Underweight people live longer and with less disease.
>>76949453fatty cope
>>76949453>being fat reduces your life expectancy much more than being skinny, but it's faster to die of literal starvation than it is to get fat to the point your body just diesFtfy
Post em>yesterday>sister brings up me liking her IG post about our pets>one of them had a pic of me with my cat on my lap>sister said one of her friends said I have a supermodel face and could be on magazines>other friend 1000% agrees>today >finish chest+shoulder day>have pretty good pump and take shirt off in the locker room>tall zoomer guy compliments me on my leanness and asks how I'm so lean>tell him I walk alot with my dog and have a small convo
I don't really know if this counts, but I've been going to the gym and taking it seriously since September. It is true that I had gone to the gym and lifted before, but I had never benched more than 175lbs, taken my diet seriously or followed a strict routine.I've been doing everything I had to do since then, gotten far stronger (I now bench 225x3) and bigger.The thing is that a few days ago I went to my girlfriend's house and saw here father, who I hadn't seen since like the second day of September.Once I had gone home, my girl texted me saying her father had told her I had gotten very big in a very short period of time, and asked her if I was taking steroids. Nobody had ever wondered if I was taking anything before, it felt so good.

>>76949545Meant "feel like pic related", that's not really me
>>76925973Yea something definitely doesn’t look right about it
so thats it im fatIm a skinny tall mf that don't eat enough to gain weight, i'm just like the fatso that can't stop eating so indeed im just a weak fatty
Been doing nothing but chins/pull ups for years. This is the result.
>>76942016keep your legs in front of you a little below parallel while you do them, shit's godlike for your core
>>76946471>>76946483Walked down there, passed a few drunks (bars in the area). Most minded their business ignored me acted like normal humans made space so we could both pass. Passed this group of rail thin Ukrainian kikes, the kind who fled the war despite not being the ones who would get drafted. They started trying to walk into me. 20 foot wide walk way they came all the way over to my side as close as they could trying to bully me out of the way for no reason. Refused to move they got upset didn’t do shit. I’m out of shape but I’m tall I wasn’t intimidated. No joke the biggest was around my height 6’2” but maybe 150lbs. Idk what I was supposed to do there other than not budge and see if they had the balls to purposely bump into me or not. Whatever who cares, kept going.Got to the outdoor gym. There was one bum on the benches and a guy fatter than me working out. Did some dips (I can still do perfect full ROM dips at this weight wtf?). Have a nice tri and chest pump. Walked back. Passed and old man made some convo with him. Looked up, the same saloyeds were sitting at a table, tried to laugh at me, quieted down. Got up when I past them but didn’t follow me. I actually hate Ukrainians. Every interaction with them has been this shit don’t stank you’re a peasant type of deal. I’m indifferent to Russians but I hope they wipe that meme country off the face of the planet lmao.It was enjoyable. I’m gonna have to get used to drunk retards. I may unironcially bring a knife or a gun with me. Surprisingly the blacks were the least problematic people I encountered.
>>76948647Based, good work fellaDips work brilliantly with pullups, so try alternating dips-rest-pullups-rest-dips etc.Easy way to get a lot of work in quickly, hell you could sub abs in thereFor more reading about this type of training, check out jim wendler's blog. He's the guy who created the 5/3/1 training program, but he basically only trains in circuits like this now, he calls it "walrus" traininghttps://www.jimwendler.com/blogs/jimwendler-com/weight-vest-training-revisiting-the-walrusW(really are)agmi bru
>>76948965For now I’m probably just going to hit the goal of consistency. That’s been my main issue with anything. I need to chase the short term high of just being consistent for now so I can chase the longer term goals later.I’ll need to find a structured routine eventually but it’s probably just gonna be greasing the groove. May have to find my old doorway pull up bar for that just spam negatives multiple times a day at random and then eventually pull ups until I can do full sets in once goI really hope I can drop the weight asap and get back into running. 25 minute walk blows but if I could run there in 10 minutes, then do my work out and then run the 1.5 miles (1.3 actually) back it would save a lot of time on days I have to go to work. May have to get a bike eventually when workouts take longer.>absIt has everything it turns out. 2 rings different heights, plenty of shit to hit abs on, dip bars, pull up bars different heights, monkey bars, some of those seated machines that use your own bodyweight. It feels like a game changer for me. Shit, just having access to this has given me goals beyond just “I wanna be lean again” I haven’t felt this way since I was too weak to bench the bar when I was 18 lmfao. I wanna do muscle ups and everything>5/3/1I tried his boring but big program when I was powerlifting I didn’t really like it much. I’ll check it out, my goals these days are>health>longevity>functionality>aestheticsI know all are attainable with calisthenics.
>>76949476Good stuff. Sounds like you know what you're doing. I totally hear you on the consistency stuff, I'm a serial starter of all sorts of things, and finish roughly nothing. Keep at it fella
like bruhhow hard is it to just eat less?
>>76949475take nothing and be fat or take a shot once a week and be skinny. only retards are against this.
It makes money.
>>76949475extremely hard?anyone who says otherwise is a twink. Imagine not loving food
>>76949475Anon, the thing is food is different for everyone. food is different for everyone. For some people cutting is easy and for others it's practically impossible and then bulking is almost effortless for some people then for other people it's hard. I myself am a former fat ass and food is definitely something I think about way too much. it is the highlight of my day when I'm finally able to eat my big one meal a day after I get off work. I hope Ozempic becomes more widespread and safe so people who are at a healthy weight are able to have it because I'm just so sick of the food noise.
How do I get my gf into this mode? Is it just nutrition or does she need to lift/cardio? Feel free to share any good programs you have

>destroy my knee during footy>get surgery>get infection>get another surgery>get arthrofibrosis>probably need another surgery that may or may not workI'm in hell bros. Used to do 15 hours of sports (footy, tennis, running, ...) and 5 hours of strength training per week, and now the only thing I can train is upper body. And only in a very limited manner too, I cannot even god damn walk or bend my knee more than 60 degrees anymore
>>76946515you did not do strength training enough. you were too weak
>eat too much>stomach in hell mode nowI feel you in pain..
>>76946515Bromelain has a fair amount of evidence for various *other* kinds of fibrosis besides arthrofibrosis. It could potentially have efficacy.
>>76946515>bitching about what is just a normal match in Plymouth saturday leaguefucking jog it off lad. IVE PLAYED THE GAME
Today I did 30 minutes of rowing purely with my bad leg being fixed. First cardio session in 2 months, felt incredibly goodI will use this as a chance to work on my weakness, the upper body. My legs have always been way more muscular
why is it easier to get prescribed this than testosterone?
>>76948389>has less severe side effectsNo.
Testosterone is a controlled substance in the US, not sure about other countries though.
>>76949089Does ozempic permanently fuck up your hormone production?
>>76948316is it really though?if you are obese then your doctor will prescribe ozempic to you or some other equivalentif you are low T then your doctor will prescribe testosterone by injection or creams>>76949089there are no severe side effects that we know ofall the bad ones are a result of losing nutrient deficiencymost people eat like shit, but they get what they need because they eat a lot, so when they cut down the calorie intake but keep the shitty food they get nutrition and protein deficiency >baldness>loose skin>"ozempic face"all these are losing weight too fast and low nutrition, it's not caused by the chemicals inside the ozempic drug itselfjust like steroids don't cause tendon snaps when your muscles grow too fast for the rest of the body
Testosterone causes crime. All men should be put on HRT.
