Hey guys. I try to the gym about twice a week. I say "about" because I travel somewhat frequently, but whenever I am home, I attend the gym on regular basis, even though I fucking hate it. My goal is to do basic power exercises because otherwise I was fucking weak and the perspective of coming down with various diseases related to not going to the gym is more terrifying than the effort of having to go to the gym. At the gym I mostly do upper-body exercise.
>you need to focus more on legs
Shut the fuck up, I don't really do legs at the gym because I cycle a lot.

Anyway, about once, twice a month a friend of mine invites me to go bouldering with him. I have to say, I spend about an hour there, afterwards I'm exhausted, but it's genuinely fun. My question is:
Assuming that general health is my goal, is bouldering a valid replacement for gym? As in, if I go bouldering on given day when I was planning to go to the gym, can I say "fuck gym, I already did exercise" without lying to myself?
>>
bouldering can make you very fit and agile. you're never going to get big though if thats your goal

Im 30 and sitting slouched for over 20 years had deformed my chest inwards slightly and now my chest is always tight and my breathing feels superficial and impaired, which in turn increases my heart rate which I suspect also increases my anxiety just to breathe normally. Can this be corrected normally or do I need the same surgery Pectus excavatum niggas get?

Buy your own tuna and ditch the seed oil crackers. By the way, when they say olive oil, it is 100% vegetable oil, maybe slightly cut with olive oil.

On the left are all things you can buy with government assistance food stamps.
The government will pay for you to buy these foods and eat them.

On the right are things that the government will not allow you to buy with government assistance.

Are we wonder why people are obese.

You can, I've done it. You can buy those shushi packs all day. You can buy the take and bake papa murphy's pizzas too.
You can't buy shit that's precooked like the chicken wings and shit from the deli.

>>75738854
Yea you can. Just can’t be hot. There are even places that will sell you “cold” prepared food like pizza through EBT then charge like a dollar to cook it, so they’re separate transactions and it’s legal

You don't know what he did to get that body. That's like saying "he's a Dr. he knows better than you". Blatant appeal to authority just because he has a good body. Fuck your ragebait, sage.

Sandow's system is basically a kind of muscle control where you use light weights to make the mind-muscle connection easier.

Attila's system is just lifting light weights afaik, never researched it much because his writings weren't available when I went through my strongman phase.

they did do the very light stuff, but it was clearly meant for beginners. The next stage was to do very heavy strength training, working from light warm up sets up to one very heavy working set

The thing about taking creatine is that it makes me incredibly dry. Every evening when I take it I also drink a bunch of liters of water so that I don't get incredibly thirsty before going to bed at night. But I've noticed a significant increase in strength.

second strongest elbow flexor after brachialis (biceps is 3rd)
>The brachioradialis flexes the forearm at the elbow.[1][2] When the forearm is pronated, the brachioradialis tends to supinate as it flexes.[2] In a supinated position, it tends to pronate as it flexes.[2] This also assists the biceps brachii.[2], it also extends wrist
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachioradialis
so u do circles with wrist with arm extended and arm flexed, supinated and flexed forearm - this will move it without any load and speed up process of healing
u can also try doing everything with left hand for a change, my posture improved immediately after i have tried this simple yet immensely annoying trick, it will get better, as i do the uniportant shit with left and switch to good arm as i do sth, sth that needs utmost precision for example


it happens because u grab shit with your hand from above and carry it around, it will also fuck your biceps because u're gonna aggravate radial nerve - google radial tunnel syndrome - u've got brachioradialis (usually right) strong but it's overworked and stiff and inflamed, that's why your left biceps looks mighty and healthy and right not so much when u flex it up, when your arms are down there is little difference, and u're stronger in right "biceps" because it's actually brachioradialis stealing your gains and trampling on radial nerve causing regional inflammation and such

it's just a probe, the topic has not been exhausted yet D:

You're not supposed to. Upper arm is to be parallel with the bar (horizontal). Im fact, she went slightly beyond that. Mirin
