I did 50 floors on the stair master after my lifting session yesterday morning, and then at night, I had a massive veiny throbbing erection and my girlfriend said its the biggest and hardest, deepest and best its ever felt

I did notice it seemed visibly longer thicker and veinier

>>77396985
Adipose tissue is high in aromatase, which converts testosterone into estrogen. Not regularly doing moves that pump blood to the lower extremities will negatively impact erection quality. You don't have to do big cardio, per se, but you should be doing something that gets the blood going to the legs on a more regularly basis than just having one leg day in a typical bro-split routine.

>completely stable so you can't cheat
>can actually grind reps unlike other variants
Why do people favor DBs or cables so much over machine laterals? Does your arm being bent at the elbow make some sort of difference to efficacy? This machine is never used at my gym and it'd help me deal with the packs of zoomer retards that congregate around the cables for 1 less movement.
>>
>>77407999
>which you usually have to do unilaterally

Not on the adjustable cable machine.
>>
>>77408048
Sure and I like that movement a lot but it's a pain in the ass getting that entire machine for yourself in a normal gym even during non peak hours. My gym has 2 full big ass dual cable stations + a freemotion one and it's still somehow always taken
>>
>>77407999
most people don't have access to a lateral raise machine, so most programs omit them.
>>
>>77407999
You should focus on doing literally hundreds of reps without weight to develop a strong rotator cuff. Heavy cable or presses completely skip development of rotator cuff muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis). They won't develop at all under the big muscles, you will end up with a poor shoulder joint encapsulated under larger muscles. This is a recipe for shoulder pain in geriatric patients (eg over 35)

I really wish someone taught me sooner that 3 day full body workouts are the optimal split for natties

I think I either strained or sprained my ankle -grade 1 for both- and I have to instruct rock climbing this weekend, so I need to get it fixed within 4-5 days.

How do you deal with training injuries yourself, are there any forbidden techniques you know of?

Do it. I had 2 surgeries on my big toe cause the damn nail had pearced something somehow and got my shit infected like a mf. Both big toes got ingrown nails i couldnt do anything about with regular care. Shit, both suddenly at 26 became insanly sensitive and fucked to use, after 3 years of just living with the pain and not noticing the toll i realized i stopped living, no combat sports no more running, bareley any sports involving my feet, no more dancing... jack shit basicly, all the things that kept me sane and fit just slowly eroded away without me realizing. Listen i tried doing bjj like a year ago, one wrong toe touch to the mat caused eye gouging ass pain. Get it done, dont be skimpy with your money on that shit my man. I broke my wrist once, that shit wasnt nearly as bad as a body part thata continuously in use and is constantly flaring up in retarded amounts of pain

>RICE
Wrong. Modern science goes completely against RICE. RICE only alleviates inflamation and pain in the moment but prolongs the healing process.
>Rest
Wrong.
Low impact zone 1 or 2 cardio improves system and localized bloodflow, increasing nutrient flow to damaged area and speeds up healing.
>Ice
Wrong.
Ice limits bloodflow to the area and inflammation. Your body needs inflammation to know where to go and fix it.
>Compression
Wrong.
Limits bloodflow. Slows down healing process.
Prolongs misery with temporary moment of breather.
>Elevation
Wrong. See above

Nice timing!
I rolled my ankle yesterday and am struggling to walk
What is the consensus on hot-cold therapy (contrast bath)? I was thinking of doing 2 tubs, one with ice water and the other with hot water and dunking them in for a few minutes per tub.
I have already have some hydrolyzed collagen powder in my closet, do I need to take vitamin C if I eat a lot of citrus? I have an orange and a mandarin tree that is fruiting right now so I basically have unlimited oranges and mandarins to eat for the next month.
My mum says to take ibuprofen but I am refusing. My logic is that if I take something to reduce inflammation, then it will heal slower and I am more likely to do dumb shit and hurt it again since the pain is inhibited. Is this sound or retarded?
>>
>>77408843
>retarded
if it is still bruising and swollen in 48 hours go to urgent care, do not walk it off, you could have a break. Splint it or wrap it and move as tolerated, the difference between a grade 1 sprain and grade 2 grade 3 is tremendous. But start focusing on strengthening peroneal tendons and stretching achilles, now that you have injured it once which is number one indicator of injury. is gay af but balance single leg and resistance bands is your future. you can actually begin some ROM stuff if the pain is tolerable, like right away, for grade 1 that is normal and best practice

I remember making burner emails/phone #s and literally getting free fucking food everyday from McDicks for months.
Had to stop because the slop was actually starting to get to me.

Should there be a law for absolute specimens to breed with other equivalent specimens to maintain the peaks of humanitys excelence?
Giving extremely intelligent people, naturally strong people, singers, writers etc the best options they have for contuniuing their lineage so in the future humanity is better?

It feels like such a waste otherwise.

Dips are great for OHP, Bill Starr wrote about them
>The number one exercise on my list for improving the press is weighted dips. I had been training for two years before I came across dip bars in a weight room and I began dipping right away. I did so because I had read about Marvin Eder, who was perhaps the strongest bodybuilder ever.
>His lifts were beyond belief. In the early fifties, long before any type of strength-enhancing drug came along, he did a dip with 434 lbs added to his bodyweight of 198, for a total of 632 pounds, and did seven reps with 400 pounds around his waist. The overhead press was his favorite lift and that’s why he dipped so heavy – to improve the press. And it did just that. He overhead pressed 355 at 198 and could bench press 575 pounds. Only Doug Hepburn, a heavyweight, could handle over 500 in 1953.
>I’ve always done weighted dips and encouraged my Olympic lifters to do them as well. The one that did the best was Steve Dussia, when I was coaching at the University of Hawaii. Steve, a 181er, and clean, did five reps with 200 lbs, and a single with 250. Add in his bodyweight and it comes up to dipping with 431 pounds. And it brought the desired results. The press was no longer part of the sport then, but the strength Steve gained in his upper body from dipping carried over to his jerks very directly. And I felt they helped stabilize his shoulder girdle for snatches and cleans as well.

I sometimes do hammers and every time I like the feeling when you get to grab a big weight in that position. Like just grabbing it in hammer position with an intention to do something activates half a dozen muscles directly when you start to flex.

>>77407357
Agreed, I would consider a strict curl a stable movement, like what I was saying. I do lift at a public gym, but I have adjustable dumbbells up to 80lbs and an adjustable bench. With just those you can do any of the variations I mentioned (a dumbbell preacher with the bench at an incline for opposing force, for example). I am never going to say that the basics don’t work they obviously do but in my own experience picking more stable or unilateral (where it makes sense) exercises leads to more consistent gains. I am 180 pounds, I barbell preacher curl 90lbs for working sets. If I were to do that standing or even as a strict curl, to an extent, it would pull me forward at peak resistance because it’s half my bodyweight, unless I (and you will involuntarily) stabilize myself with my hips and ass. It all works but it’s easier in the logbook to have nice standard reps if you pick stable exercises that are just grip it and rip it.
