If I buy 20 lb dumbbells can I do good lifting with just that?I'm poor
>>77404678Not really, but you can get a job and get a gym membership.
>>77404678You can't really do progressive overload with a single pair of dumbellsIf you're a poor go buy a pull up bar, rings, and you'll be set for at least 2 years
>>77404678At least get adjustable ones that take standard plates. I started my home gym with yes4all 52.5lb dumbbells and now have enough 10lb plates to load them to 125lbs. You can do a lot with an adjustable bench, dumbbells, and a dip/pullup tower.
no. sell your belongings (and yourself) to get more equipment
>>77404678>20 lb dumbbellsLook, OP... it's better than nothing, especially if you're just starting out, but you'll max out quickly on just 20 lbs.
From 23 y.o to 26 y.o.What routine and diet could I do to loose weight and gain muscle as much as him?

How much do you guys eat per day and what foods? I find that I pretty much can only eat meat if I want to reach my macros while losing weight.
>>77406535Meat, coffee, various non-starchy vegetables, some greens mostly as condiments or as vehicle for other foodsWhen not cutting just that plus starchy vegetables, rice, noodles, usually less salads and lettuce wraps because it's just wasted money if you're not fighting hunger with it
>>77406535probably because your deficit is ridiculous, anorexia-chan
>>77406535Eggs, miso soup with tofu and bok choi, black coffee, oatmeal with chia seeds, plain Greek yogurt, sweet potatoes, beef stew, dried dates.
chicken or ground beef and rice one day some other slop the other days

Do you still remember what got you into weightlifting? For me it was seeing Jay Cutler on the 2005 Muscle and Fitness magazine
>>77399100back in like, 2005 I rented Pumping Iron one day and was in awe and wanted to be big like Arnie and Lou Ferrigno. For my 17th birthday my dad bought me a dumbbell set, ez bar and plates.
>>77407798this has never happened.
>>77408745It absolutely has happened, there are countless stories of ladies who have detransitioned who say some version of that happened.
>>77399100Is that a real cover or just AI slop content from X?

How is this routine, lifting each 5 days?Deadlift one heavy set of 6 or more reps, adding 5 kg when I can do 10 repsSame with strict press but adding 2.5 kg when 10 reps is reachedThen leg press high reps 5 setsDips and pullups 5 setsSo it's like this each 5 days:Deadlift 1 x 6+Strict Press 1 x 6 +Leg Press 5 x 10+Dips 5 setsPullups 5 setsI think I may just do it once per week instead of every 5 days, I will see how it goes. Reason I don't squat is because of my femur length makes it a shitty exercise for meTrying to reach a 260 kg deadlift and 90 kg strict press this year. My current best lifts are 240 kg deadlift and 80 kg strict press, but I probably have the strength for 250 kg deadlift at the moment, I'm just doing reps for now to build more strength.
>>77408928I'd probably just do 2x/week:A>Deadlift>Barbell Row>Leg PressB>Strict Press>Dumbbell Bench>Weighted Chin Up
>>77409001My routine seems to be over 9000. Confirmed by god. Yippee
>>77409002That seems good as wellOnly thing is I can't do any more barbell rows after a difficult set of deadlifts
>>77409002>row after deadlift DumbIt should be like thisSquat Bench RowDeadlift OhpChinupThis routine has 1 leg movement 1 push and 1 pull
>>77409007>>77409080I can handle it just fine, it makes perfect sense to pair the hinges together in the same day. Why can't you do them on the same day? Rows will need a lot less weight than deadlift.

The natty limit for 99.9% of men is a LOT lower than you've been told. You will most likely never "look like you work out" unless you have top 0.1% genetics or roid yourself half to death. The people you see online or irl who "look like they work out" are all on gear.Picrel is about the natty limit for the vast majority of men. Maybe a bit bigger if you're a genetic freak.

Then fuck it. I’m doing steroids.
>>77400192Forgot to lose weight fatty
Holy shit when will manlets LEARN?
>60kg ohp x 10>50kg db incline press x 6>140kg squat x 15>250kg deadlift x 1>bodyweight pullups x 15~Time to cut?
>>77408978Unironically cut to 70-72kgs. Being lean gives you the illusion of size due to vascularity and visible muscle definition. You will technically lose size and some amount of strength but you will look significantly better.
>>77408978Maybe because it's covered by a mountain of fat? With those numbers you'll definitely look good when lean but you need to cut like 25kg. I'm halfway done with a cut of a similar magnitude and it fucking blows so good luck
>going above 70kg as a manletoof
>>77408976Yea time to cut Steven Bonnell, ur getting fluffly
That’s a really good deadlift anon do whatever you want to do. Because your squat and deadlift are better than 99% of /fit/
is it good to master Push Ups and Pull Ups (and other bodyweight exercises) before joining a gym?
>>77407654Time for dip arc
>>77407593the soviets made athletes by treating them like bovine kek
>>77407589It will obviously helpIMO it is better to start with calisthenics to get a feel for the muscles in your body, it will make you more mobile & make you feel better about yourself
i started doing pullups again and gave my self tendenonitis. in one arm. never had this happen before. i gained back my old strength fast due to muscle memory but i think my tendons werent ready for the volume
>>77407589If you can't find a gym or it's expensive, body weight squats and pushups are pretty good at conditioning you for weighted movements for a few weeks. After a while they'll no longer be that difficult
I've been shaving my head for a few months and I feel great.No more DHT blockers and minoxidil. No more planning for hair transplants. Just acceptance. It feels good ngl.
>>77408485Ok, have fun with your drugs and transplants
>>77407659>I believe there's a lot of denial regarding side effects because I was in denialYes my friend. A lot of men saying no side effects usually had low libido, weak erections, or weren't getting any pussy so of course they didn't notice a difference. I used to blast dump truck loads and on fin it reduced to just a drop or 2 when I came. I could no longer fuck a girl laying sideways because my boners weren't strong enough.Nothing is worth risking your dick for hair.
>>77408594I get laid more than you though.
>>77408715Thanks. Dont need a transplant because fin saved my hair. Enjoy your baldness. Don’t forget to shout from the rooftops about how secure you are of your reflective dome.
>>77408736Saved your hair and lost your dick.Don't worry you didn't need it anyway.
how do you get motivated to not only go to the gym regularly but to push yourself to failure when you're in the throes of depression. i found out two weeks ago that my dad and stepmom knew about my mom molesting me when i was a kid and didn't try to take custody from her, they just waited until she died from her cancer. and now i can't bring myself to go to the gym as often and when i get to the gym, i just cannot push myself, every set feels harder to do yet i feel like im doing less. failure is closer to the surface and less meaninful
>>77408964>depressionman up, pussy
>>77408964Did your mother damage your penis?I have scar tissue that prevents my foreskin from retracting, but I have no memory of anything that could have caused it -- wasn't circumcision. I do remember my mother telling me about a child molester in our neighborhood when I was young and I have a fuzzy memory that he may have gotten to a neighbor boy who moved shortly after...Anyway...You need to force yourself to do it and remind yourself that it will feel good when you're done.
>>77408980i think you're right, perhaps i do just gotta show up, at least maintain the routine, and maybe i can put some of these feelings into working out>>77408991too late im already a tranny faggot>>77409006on the medical side of things that sounds like phimosis, though i don't have that, it might be worth looking into. on the memory-biological connection side of things it might help to talk to a therapist, consider what it would mean to you, why it would mean that to you, with an approach of curiosity.
Lifting to failure whether it's sooner or later is the point, as long as you lift. And motivation is always worthless when you need it the most. Replace it with routine. Routine becomes habit, and habit isn't something you can shake so easily.
>>77408964Take some walks in nature MeditateGood some nice food for yourself Surround yourself with friends or other strangers Talk to a therapist Do forgiveness meditations it's ok to take a break and switch to other fulfilling activities for awhile
How do I stop myself from excessive handwashing? I’ve developed a fear of getting infected mainly from when I touch metal, vegetables, trash bins and when I pick things up from the floor
>>77406888Just make sure you don't wash for too long. Maybe start counting to a certain number every time you wash to get it exactly right, just enough to eliminate the risk of contamination but not too long or you could damage your skin. Just make sure to stick to the ritual religiously so nothing bad happens.
>>77406888your hypochondria is actually weakening your immune system over time and one day it will become as weak as you think it is.
>>77406888>How do I stop myself from excessive handwashing?Bathing should be enough but if not then only wash you hands if they are ACTUALLY dirty or if you are about to eat and will be touching food.
>>77406888Only do it before you eat or if you've encountered ethnics
i haven't used soap or shampoo in years.
People with straight neck/tech neck, are you symptomatic? I feel a dull pain at the base of my neck that gives me vertigo. I've had a brain mri as well as my ears looked at, everything was normal. The only thing that stands out is that I have a very straight cervical spine. Can a chiropractor help?
I have military/straight neck with some herniated cervical discs. The neck pain isn’t even the bad part. I’m still trying to resolve some blurred vision and balance issues. So far pt seems to be working slowly. Best thing has been supine head lifts, kind of a modified chin tuck to build the deep neck flexors. Want to know if anyone has any better recommendations to get it fixed though.
