update?
do you take off your shirt and pump check?Me? At least 3 times.
>>77393085>do you take off your shirt and pump check? Me? At least 3 times.
enough to get by and keep me busy
FACT: 2-3X full body is the only viable split if you desire a career and hobbies other than lifting.
>>77392626Separating push and pull is stupid and makes my shoulders feel shifted forward or backward. Doing only 2 upper body workouts like this a week definitely feels like there's much to be desired. I prefer 4 more in depth upper body days a week just to get the muscles that aren't usually hit doing just bench and flies for chest or whatever.

>>77392626Video games aren’t a hobby. Manage your time better princess
>>77395131Ironically videogames are the easiest hobby to plan around going to the gym 6x per week. For hobbies that actually require you to touch grass, combined with a full time job, it gets harder.
>>77395131Yeah I never considered games a hobby. Its a past-time. I've always seen hobbies as creative or productive activities. Games are just inert media consumption.
I was watching Biggest loser and it gave me an idea. What if there was a 1980s style slasher movie set at a fat camp? The killer is a former fitness instructor that went nuts from dealing with hundreds of disgusting fats and their ham hog excuses. He starts killing them off and then it's like a Late Phases thing where they have to whip into shape to survive.
>am I fitting in guys?
>>77394626Into airplane seats? probably not.
>>77393880That's retarded, would watch
>>77393880>take this>and this>and theeyis I'm pretty sure it's the gym employees that have nightmares about me. I usually have wet dreams about the gym employees and it isn't them doing the fucking.
>>77394016I love how those kids were seen as obese by the culture back then. If the movie was redone today they'd have to be literally 3 times as large, because now they just look like every average kid.
Is bouldering based or cringe?
>>77393544A rare condition known as reacting to chinese PEDS.
>>77393630t. 36 hour meth fueled masturbation enthusiast
Bouldering is fine. People who boulder are cringe.
>>77393427If my experiences with it in the climbing gym that my uni gym had back in the day are anything to go by, it's very clique-ish and lanklet Asians will insult you for having muscle. That said, at least it's a sport that people actually strive to perform better at, unlike similarly dogmatic rabbit holes like calisthenics.
>>77393427Based but only for board chads or outdoors
>Monday, decide to start self improving/exercising, knee hurts from being in my thirties so give up immediately, 0 reps done>Tuesday, knee hurts less, going to do jumping jacks and hallway runs, accomplish only 50 jumping jacks and 10 hall runs, 1 set, before feet begin to blister and it is painful, cancel due to blistering under the feet.>Wednesday, blisters have only healed a little bit, try again, halfway through first set, roughly 25 jumping jacks and 5 hall runs get really horny and just go watch porn, bust twice and go to sleep until dusk, afterwhich I wake up and just play vidya until midnight, no more work done for the day>Thursday, feel very tired and don't even bother working out at all, just masturbate and play vidya all day>Friday, blisters healed fully, but knee hurts again, still determined to see this through and acquire the girlfriend promised to me 3000 years ago, trudge through the first set, 50 jumping jacks, 10 hall runs, okay, we're getting somewhere, time to do stair runs too, 2 reps into the stair runs, become demoralized and give up>no energy on Saturday and Sunday due to masturbating and playing games all dayI blame the Jews.

>samefagging your thread after no one else laughedSigh
What exactly were you hoping for besides attention when you made this thread?Or was it just attention?
>>77395160No, that wasn't me, that is a person stalking me.>>77395164You're on /fit/, you're all here for attention, now, so am I.
According to how much you fap, you should stop that.
How healthy is it to cook with animal fat semi-regularly? I keep a jar in my fridge which holds any excess grease/fat from the meat I cook, it's mostly a mix of beef and pork fat. I use it on rice, eggs, stir fry, etc. I'd like to use olive or avocado oil more often but it isn't exactly cheap, plus the fat adds a nice flavor. How healthy is it for me to continue doing this?
>>77393888Depends onHow much fat is in the rest of your dietWhats your hdl likeWhats your ldl likeWhat kinds of fat are those What animal's fat is itIs there anything bad it was eating that could accumulate in that fatHow long has it been storedWhat temp was it heated to originallyHow has it been storedEct ect ectDietary fat is such a deep rabbit hole full of so much misinformation you'd have to be a cytologist and organic chemist to be even to tell what is truthful and relevant.As far as cold takes go processed oils are frankly simpler to understand and probably why they're touted as being "healthy" because the other side requires vastly more context to firmly say whether it's good or bad for just an individual let alone make broader dietary recommendations on.
It's the only fat you should be cooking with/eating"Vegetable oil" doesn't exist, it's an industrial byproduct they started selling after the war and then suddenly over night for no reason at all everyone got heart disease
>>77394481Everyone got heart disease because they were finally living long enough for that to be the bottleneck in human longevity. I'm sure if we rolled back the work safety, food, water, waste removal, public security, medical updates you could earn your honorable death at the hands of some now preventable cause before 60.
>>77394455>How much fat is in the rest of your dietLow amounts, at least by burger standards. For some sauteed vegetables I would use a half of a spoonful, for example.>What animal's fat is itMostly beef and pork, the amount of each varies depending on what meat and the cuts of meat I cook (chuck eye, pork/beef shoulder, occasionally pork belly). Currently there is a 30:70 ratio. >>77394392What country are you from? I can't imagine mutton not being expensive. I love goat, sheep fat sounds heavenly.
>>77394842Turkey. Its not mutton tallow, more like specifically the tail fat of the sheep. It tastes so good, is very stable and perfect for cooking. I use it alongside butter for all of my cooking, and despite my ldl being high by normal standarts my hdl is very high and my trig are low, with hdl:trig being lower than one.
should I start to eat more to grow fat into my ass? I am sitting effortlessly around 12% bodyfat and I'm afraid of android fat distribution, I only want fat onto my lower body, you probably understand why. I don't live in London before you ask
>>77393990also a lot of this requires core tightening as well, just simplifying to main hip thrusts a couple times a week and another day or two of basic machine leg day stuff would get you huge legs and ass, and not work upper body really at all. Also you'd gain some more muscle overall at a higher body fat percentage. So get to 4 plate hip thrusts and your ass would be ridiculous.
>>77395091I'm already at 4 plates hip thrusts anon

Why does the trooned wog post the same samefag comments everytime?
>>77395259That’s nice timmy
I got my arms tucked but I dont feel like anythings being done by my chest it feels like it is all my arms, what do?
>>77394919I do at least 50% of my sets with tucked elbows and a lower bar(lower to belly vs neck, extra rom each rep is more peculiar minor than major look it up). The form is harder to move weight but is better for longevity aka more sets per week with joint strain. If you want to get a wider chest then do more full rom, thicker chest is prison reps with a closer grip. Try it with a barbell, dbs are more of a stabilizer workout but can bring your bench up if it needs work.
>>77394933What the fuck are you doing db bench for? Beyond a stark weakness it won't take your bench far. It is basically a mobility exercise, it helps you have strength at the absolute bottom of a rep. To increase your bench you can:>bench a ton >add dips mostly for bottom rom delts>ton of tris especially freeweights>light work upper and inner pec workIf you just wanna increase giga arch bench then just do that all the time since it is it's own movement. To really control the weight though you gotta be on top of optimal chest and shoulder training. Triceps are rarely gonna be your weak point for a 1rm where getting it moving is the hardest part.
>>77395089You're abusing the stretch function of getting your shit just put where you are tye strongest to bounce it using your muscle fibers and tendons. To get your bench heavy now then flaring is legit, but to build a heavier bench you have to address your weak points or you'll just keep lifting and getting injured.
>>77394933Do you do the hand over the muscle method? I find that helps my mind-muscle connection.
I reached 2pl8 but I have not managed to progress further. I think it might just be a mass thing, but I don't to eat more and get fatter
Post your 2K.
>>77395208But in my heart, I did.
>>77395143Well, I didn't win usually, but I was doing it in HS and college almost 20 years ago. I was good at it (yes, I'm tall and athletic. I was on every sports team and did martial arts "for funsies").
>>77395211you will never be a real boat. you have no sea, you have no oars. you are a gymnasium machine twisted by chinese steel and gears into a mockery of mankind's perfection.
>>77395231I actually spent more time in the boat than on the machine.
>>77395231That’s buoyancophobic!
Have any of you guys managed to do it?A decade of virtually nonstop gooning, weed. and video games has made it basically impossible for me to focus on anything that doesn't give me a short term reward. I can't stay motivated to improve at any of my hobbies (lifting, drawing, playing guitar) because improving takes time and effort, and time and effort means delayed gratification. These are things I genuinely enjoy doing, but my brain has become so numb to the feeling of simple enjoyment that I barely even do them anymore.The problem is that I know healing my brain is going to take time, and as previously stated I've conditioned my brain to reject anything that doesn't offer my immediate gratification. Any advice or personal anecdotes is appreciated.
>>77390116>all those normies out there still use tiktok, instagram>able to read books cover to cover,lol
>>77393692Not really no. I still very much do the bare minimum active work required for the class and just take whatever grade that gets me - no additional study before midsems/finals.I have however developed a tremendous writing habit over the past couple of years, and spend a good hour or two practicing it every day, so it really is just a matter of whether or not I actually care about something rather than how disciplined I can whip myself into being.
Yes but it doesnt last. Its like taking a tolerance break from weed or something. Sure you can re-sensitize your receptors. But after 2 days of going back to your old lifestyle you will undo all the progress. Actually the same concept as how you can regain muscles 10x faster than gaining them the first time. Your biology finds it easy to return to previous states.
>>77393923What makes boredom unbearable for some people but not others?
>>77389849You have the willpower to stop for a few days. You're just bogged down treating yourself like a victim, begging for attention and validation for your bad habits.Marijuana tolerance even for heavy smokers goes down by 75% within 4 to 7 days of not smokingNot jerking off is just as simple as not sitting and consuming porn all day, ffs go outside.Convincing yourself that you fucked up your brain by jerking off too much and wrecking your dopamine receptors is just silly, your brain isnt set in stone once you reach a certain age, thats just your bad excuse for staying the shitty comfortable version of yourself.>There's absolutely no way I'm undoing all this damage in 3 days, as much as I wish that was the case.Obviously not... but bitching about how hard it is to fix yourself is not fixing any problems. Literally just do the hard work and you will be rewarded with progress.
Why do men wear these tight shorts when running? Are they more aerodynamic?
>>77394573Not the super short-short running shorts though, to be fair. I guess if you go short enough, the underpants would stick out the bottom, but you can just wear longer shorts.
>>77394581>the underpants would stick out the bottomMine do, I don't give a shit. I'm shirtless too, don't care about that either. My shorts are 3" inseam and the compression underwear goes over halfway down my thighs, for them to not peak out I would have to wear something ridiculous like basketball shorts. Even with 3" shorts I can still comfortably conceal a subcompact 9mm between them and the compression underwear with a band holster, since I run on a pretty rural mountain road.
>>77393172>as evidenceSure...
>>77394987>for them to not peak out I would have to wear something ridiculous like basketball shortsWhat is white boys obsession with booty shorts? It's always the "men" with smallest legs wearing them too...
>>77392898Well this is legitimately a gay thread and if I were a gay guy, not if I were straight, I would be going to these threads first.
>body won’t allow you to look like this without steroids What’s God’s plan here? Why doesn’t he want me to look like this?
bc you touch ur pp to some vile shit
Maybe he just doesn't favor narcissists.
>>77394403Thank you God for making humans beautiful and not this hideous monstrocity.
>>77394403it's not possible to look like jay or even a classic physique competitor on juice, but you can def achieve this naturally. you will say he roids, but go to his youtube and witness his training. see if you have what it takes. that being said, he's a natty pro and does this for living. there is no reason for a normie to cut down extremely like you want to win a medal.
>>77394403You can get way bigger than you would ever imagine if only you stopped not eating when you are or are about to be hungry.
Why haven't you run it?
>>77394953How much should each phase last?
>>77394953I ran Ivysaur but in hindsight it was retarded. 5 years deep into lifting and looking back, the best "cookie cutter" novice routine is still starting strength. The only adjustment I'd make is to alternate between chins and back extensions earlier than rip has it.TM was pretty much the only successful intermediate program I've ever tried. The rest just had me burning wheels. Now I have different goals but if I just wanted to get brutally strong it would be SS -> TM.
>>77394953Cuz squats are gay
Because the gym is my happy place. I'm not saying the program doesnt work, but just doing 3 exercises for 3x5 just isn't fun for me.
>>77394953I have. It was great. Got really big and strong. Was kind of chubby at the end but honestly I looked better than now that I'm leaned out
Don't eat food for a while and you stop being hungry until you start expending extra energy, but once you start feeding, you're going to be hungry every time you're ready to take in more fuel. Stop the feed cycle with fasting so you can actually burn fat without being hungry.
