My femurs are about 32% of my body height. Average femur length should only be around 25% body length.

The added length makes puts a lot of strain on my ankles when doing things like squats of any kind. Without raising my heels, my upper body folds like a jackknife to compensate. This could lead to back issues if I do things wrong.

I'm currently trying to improve my ankle mobility (even though my knees can and will extend past my toes).

I realized there were some massive problems when I was trying to do pistol squats. I'm trying to add more motions to my calisthenics day but I got hamstrung on pistols. I realized that this shit becomes infuriatingly nigh-impossible without very high levels of ankle mobility or raising the heel. I feel like it's cheating to raise the heel though.

Anyone else suffering something similar? What did you do?

The Mediterranean diet and DASH diet both have well conducted RCTs proving their efficacy in lowering cholesterol and blood pressure. The best diet would be an elimination based on your genetics and biomarkers, but since that is expensive and unrealistic for most people simply follow one of the diets I mentioned. If you are into anti-aging consider eating food with highest ORAC values. If you decide to follow the vegan version of those diets for ethical reasons don't forget to supplement b12. That's all you need to do unless you have a specific genetic/autoimmune issue.

I started smiling at people, and laughing while doing sets at the gym to make people want to be my friend. I've seen a couple girls laugh while I am doing this so I think it is working.
My thought process is to look like I am having as much fun as possible working out so that I can get a girlfriend.

Alright after 10 years of thinking I was a hard gainer, I have quickly come around to now knowing "hard gainer" shit isn't real. I'm 6'2" and from like 18 to 28 I was 160lbs. Every couple months I'd look in the mirror and but sick and tired of being a stupid fucking skeleton and start "bulking". This usually was just me eating as much as I could every opportunity possible. I would do this for a couple of weeks and just slowly start going back to eating normally. I'd go up as much as 10 pounds and then get back to my normal weight relatively soon. Since then I've made some changes and over two bulks I'm now at 205lbs with a similar bodyfat%. The way to do it really is very simple. CICO. The issue with "hard gainers" myself included, is appetite. Period. If you eat more you'll get bigger. The method I started using was as follows. Get a calorie tracker, make sure it's easy enough to use it all the time. I use one called parrotpal because I don't need to be precise and it does some good guestimation. Do not change how you eat! Spend one to two weeks eating normally and track your cals. Before my first successful bulk I was lifting 4 times a week, doing Jiu Jitsu 5 times a week; and was eating 1900 calories. I was actually shocked. I ate whatever I wanted and whenever I was hungry. It turns out my appetite was just shit. Through some trial and error I realized you have to add calories in SLOWLY. What was most successful for me was adding no more than 300 calories daily for approximately 2 - 3 weeks, and then adding again. Due to how much I was training, this put weight on me like crazy. I went from 160 to 185 in like 2-3 months. Also less important, but still important is hitting protein, the main lever that controls my bodyfat %. To stay my normal leanish I have to hit 1g protein per pound of body weight.
Hard gainers check in, let's get you big.

For training, I really focused on high volume, bodybuilder style. I also realized the only reason I lift is to look big. I don't really care about adding 20 pounds on to my bench, shit just isn't that interesting to me. I focused first on what would make me look big with a shirt on, and then once that was big I evened everything else out. So I started by almost exclusively hitting lats, side delts, and arms. Volume was the name of the game for me. 10 - 12 sets of 10 - 15 reps. I would just sit down at the lat pulldown and be there for an hour.
Shit worked everyone thought I was on gear.

>>76836707
so ur just eating garbage
>>
>>76836866
During the bulk I definitely eat a lot of garbage yeah, but for maintenance I can eat clean. There are days where I am totally full and 1k under cals so I have to drive and get fast food at 10pm.

>>76836707
I only skimmed this but it basically sounds like everyone who's ever successfully bulked up's story
>>
>>76836901
Yeah, nothing revolutionary but after hitting my initial goal of breaking 205 I wanted to make a post to help save another hungry skeleton

Looks dangerous.

Any anons dealing with gerd/acid reflux? About 2 months ago I started randomly feeling sick and spewing in the mornings and after seeing a doc it looks like it's gerd.
Already lost some weight and while I'm on PPIs now which help, gaining that weight back is proving tough.
I'm still not 100% sure that's what it is (especially since I'm not fat and don't smoke/drink which seem to be causes) but I've done some blood tests and nothing weird has been found so I guess I'm just stuck with this shit now. Any advice/tips?

Does gerd (or related stuff like ulcers) affect sex drive? I started getting stomach issues around the time I started getting dick issues (around a month ago). Feels like they could both have the same cause if it's stress or something, but I've never really experienced either before so I'm not sure about any of this.

GERD doesn't to my knowledge. but other gastrointestinal issues can, gut microbiome basically affects everything. They could be symptoms of a larger problem

Dude, I lived with that shit for like 10 years. My BMI when it all started was like 22. 10 years later I was fat, that's why I started keto. The anti-inflammatory effects fixing all my issues were an unexpected surprise.

>give non Whites so much credit like they're omnipresent super humans
What are you even talking about? All I said was there are probably more of them then statistics let on and you're jabbering about nonsemse.
Its in the government's interest to keep Whites naive about the true magnitude of the nigger and spic infestations
>>
>>76836814
there definitely more spics to some degree than officially recorded but niggers are all dependent on the government and well accounted for and they have the smallest median household size, median household size, and the lowest birth rates other than Asiatic ethnicities in the USA. The government and media want Whites demoralized not naive don't know where you're at in time but it's not 1997 anymore
>>
>>76836858
I notice people get very aggressive and defensive around here if you ever say government statistics about niggers are false. People like you refuse to even consider the notion. You just start spewing the same statistics in question like its proof while throwing all sorts of insults and strawmans
Very odd.
