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.

I read that study that said that keratin can combine with substances in your saliva to create an enamel refiller, actually reverses decay. I started saving my beard hair and every few days I'll take a clump, wash it, and chew on it for a bit after brushing/flossing. If I had a mild ache where I know I have caries, it's gone by the time I'm done.

Yeah, dentists are full of shit, especially if you're in a country where it's run for profit

I got told I needed a ton of root canals and teeth pulling when I was 18, even though they all looked fine, are straight and I wasn't even in any pain. Anyway, walked straight outta there because I actually couldn't afford it at the time and haven't seen a dentist since. Just turned 47, still have all my teeth and they're still white, straight, good condition. No pain at all, ever.

there's no way I actually needed any shit doing with my teeth if I'm this old and have gone the entire time with no problems?

Get a sonicare toothbrush without USB C and brush your teeth slowly with them read the instructions. I'd get a cleaning if I were you, after that long nothing is perfect, but if you don't, at least use the toothbrush, I'd use .12% chx mouthwash every week too or every month or few months if you want to stay away from the dentist. Look it up, it kills like 70% of all biofilm in one go and keeps doing it for a a few hours at least and can last a week. My teeth are squeaky clean if you use too much you'll get long term yellow staining so don't use it too much and read the instructions.

is such a thing even possible?
>>
>>77403768
Banch press. Start with the bar. Ad 2.5 pounds per side until you can only do 5 reps. Then do 3 sets of 5 reps. In two days add 5 pounds to the bar and do three sets of 5. In two days again, addanother 5 pounds to the bar. Repeat ad nauseum.

Eventually, you will become strong enough to do a pushup. Should take that long.
>>
>>77403768
incline pushups against a door or counter top. NOT knee/'girl' pushups.

>>77403768
Are you missing arms or what? Just do them and eventually you'll be able to.

>>77403768
If you are a woman then your skeletal structure demands different hand placement otherwise you will focus too much of the effort on chest muscles which are inherently weak in women.

Next time twist your pals outwards so that elbows hinge next to the torso instead of to the sides. This way all the effort will go to the triceps instead of chest.

If you can't do them after that I suggest you do the women pushups (on your knees) or as others said, incline or negatives.

I got a little extra cash recently and while I'm a big fan of minimalistic inexpensive home gym setups, I feel I could really use a reliable cardio machine with a maximal ROI per unit of time and least convoluted logistics possible.
I had a regular stationary bike and while it was alright, it was hyper leg-centric and HIIT sessions would always destroy my quads before I could reach the desired heartrate.
I want to build formidable levels of VO2max with a relatively little time investment and in the least logistically annoying way.
I can afford this kind of whim from time to time but since the machine alone would cost much more than the rest of my home gym setup (and realistically more than any regular home gym setup) I feel I should justify it enough to not feel stupid about the purchase - so my question is, is an airbike a valid purchase if you're passionate about fitness and try to streamline exercise in a way it's as sustainable as it gets?

Not enough to make a huge difference, maybe 100-200watts during intervals. They're not very ergonomic and the huge lever hurts more than helps, since it means with your feet alone you're making them swing pretty fast already. Imagine trying to do intervals pushing a car, but the car isn't in neutral it's driving away from you. I do the 20-10 10-20 second preprogrammed intervals though it's probably not that big a deal for longer ones.

In 2026, isnt it funny that all the stuff propagated on here for years on end up being a lie or completely contrary to science?

>isolation movements for beginners are vital
>Bulking doesnt net a single gram of more muscle gain and is unnecessary.
>5x5 three times per week is utterly retarded for growth.
>training to failure has literally no benefit, 1 to 2 reps in reserve nets the exact same adaption without additional fatigue
>high volume workouts are a complete waste of time, you get all the adaptation you need off of 2, max 3 sets and progressively overloading. Doing 4-5 sets of multiple exercises for the same muscle is 100% retarded.
> high reps are a meme. No objective benefit whatsoever going over 8 reps.
> you dont need to squat. You dont need to deadlift. You dont even need to flat bench. Leg press is more stable and superior for growth in almost every way if you're a beginner. Hip thrusts and hamstring curls are more effective for growing the same muscles. A stable chest press machine is even more effective because you can go closer to failure without being constrained by technique.

You guys literally got played. For years.
Mainly the volumetards. I cant begin to imagine how retarded you had to be to believe you needed to do 40 sets a week or whatever or that volume is what drives hypertrophy. It is completely counter to any and all scientific evidence.
You literally get better results with just 4 sets per week. Lol.

it's hard to make grave mistakes with a semi-sane program and at least reasonable diet when you're new, you can easily achieve like 60% of your potential within 2 years
the real grind and possible hiccups begin after that and this is why a lot of advice on /fit/ is dogshit, a lot of you haven't been training for a long time and the ones that have are usually not really sure what actually worked because after a certain point any change is slow and hard to attribute to just one thing

In what state were you in when you realized most workouts that use weights are just gasmaxxed cardiopilled huffslop megawaste that doesn't even target any muscle growth but only wears out your lungs?

It is every man's duty to eat a lot of food to become tall and strong, but when all you do is huff and puffmaxx then how can you expect to grow taller?

Huffmaxxers don't understand what it's like to be tall as a result of having a high protein, high value, high power diet, you never see runners getting any pussy, you never see bicyclists get any pussy, and you DEFINITELY don't see jumpjackers or box hoppers getting any pussy, because they're all short because they huffmax and are on a diet to target cardiovascular health.

Box hoppers are the tallest people in the gym for exactly 0.5 seconds or so when they jump very high, but when they land back on the ground, they become short again.

Quit huffmaxxing, eat food, grow taller, and get oxytocin from cuddling with sexy women, it helps you sleep at night instead of thinking about getting beaten up by draft officers.

Bros, I've been troubleshooting my bloating for 6 years.
Today, I think I might have discovered something.

Backstory:
I was feeling bloated as always. My BMI to bloat ratio is a little worse than pic related. All I ate was potato and homemade meatballs.
In desperation, I drank water, rested, walked, ate fiber, drank more water, but all I felt was a soothing with no bloating reduction.
Up to this point, my doctor's done an edoscopy, gastroscopy, feces and blood tests, visceral fat investigation using results from an unrelated MRI, I've done it all. As of the past 20 days, I've considered SIBO and been taking a Berberine regiment.

Just now, what happened:
I'm laying in bed bros, bloated from the potato and wanting to KYS. I'm eating a slice of freshly baked levain, simply for the relief.
I put the laptop aside and think about a cunt.
My hands wrap around my neck as I close my eyes and my body enter some natural contracted ab crunch position, as I'm meditating.
The first thing I notice: my gut starts working, and it feels incredible.
>wat
I eat the last bite of the levain while in the ab crunch position. The bread lands like medicine in my stomach, and I hear gurglings for the first time in hours.

You don't cure SIBO by just taking Berberine, much less this quick, fucking dumbass, you'd need antibiotics and months of a restricted diet for SIBO, even worse for IMO or SIFO
Have you even done a H2+CH4 breath test to actually rule out SIBO and IMO? Have you done biopsy to rule out SIFO?
That said, core activation actually makes sense, you're "manually" stimulating your vagus nerve, thus increasing gut motility.
This would absolutely work best as a complementary strategy rather than the main one.
I wish you a good recovery but act smarter, idiot

i love you guys so muc, today i went to the gym and ran more efficiently than normal because i braced my core unlike previous times, i have not farted as much but my stomach is flatter at the top
i naturally activate the top part of my abs, it becomes flat and puts pressure on my stomach to continue working
no food comas no cravings, drinking coffee nicely with no negative side effects,im really hopeful, tomorrow I got an appointment with the doctor for an SIBO follow up plan I reached out about before I discovered this, I think I finally discovered my issue to be honest, after 6 years of troubleshooting

I am so fucking insecure about my chest, like I go into the toilet to change at the gym, I never go to the beach or when I do I always wear a shirt and I have rejected girls who clearly wanted to get naked with me because I was scared that they are disgusted by my nipples.
I am so shy about my body. How can I cope with this? The worst part is, you can see my chest through shirts, so I look like a girl with small tits not wearing a bra.

Had a convo with a girl who said she didn't really care about these and most women don't, in fact, some like them, too. No idea how true this is, but I've never seen someone complain about it, and I knew a guy with literal bitchtits who had no issues getting girls (he was insecure about it, but it didn't seem to matter.) Don't worry about all this looksmaxxing blackpill stuff, 99% of normies do not care at all, or more importantly, WON'T EVEN NOTICE. Or they'll say "oh wow you're buff" because have 5% more muscle mass than the average person, and they notice that instead of the mild gyno which they most likely won't even know is a thing unless you bring it up to them. Turns out most people have something they are insecure about when it comes to their body, and 9/10 times nobody notices it unless they point it out.
