ITT: Post memes you fell for
>>75380703>being fit won't help with your depressionit absolutely did.
>>75380703SS + GOMAD
>>75380708SS is a solid beginners program but don't get involved with the author. It's kind of like reading Atlas Shrugged were it has some points and cool ideas but the author is demented.
>>75380708>>75380713what, you guys are too good to eat cum? grow up
>>75380703that's still a fantastic near-zero equipment routine if you remember bands weren't as common as they are today when it was published
The weight locks are good
>>75380703someone unironically giving themselves the nickname "coach" should have given it away.Unfortunately I also fell for it.
>>75381036Yeah, that's silly but to be honest, the progressions are quite good for basic stuff you can do at home wothput basically anything. My brother trained based on that book.
it's just a themed calisthenics book. The section on bridges is good, not enough people talk about bridges in calisthenics.
>>75380703doing lifts of 1/2/3/4 not training abs low carb
>>75381079The problem isn't only the goofy faked credentials. The progression path is bullshit and the one handed Handstand pushup is completely fabricated.
>>75381191>one handed Handstand pushupIt's the gimmick of the book, it's literally on the cover. Just ignore it. One handed handstand push up is too ridiculous to do as anything other than a trick.I just pirated it, there are few books that I've seen that are worth actual money (maybe Overcoming Gravity for density of information). For the cost $0 Convict Conditioning is worth the download. You get some useful form pictures.
>>75380703>"You got to bulk up before you cut bro!"I just wanted to improve my lifts and some people suggested it, but I got way too fat and hit a plateau. Always remember life beggins at 12% bf.
>>75380703there's that bit from some adam carolla show where he says that he loves looking at guys' mugshots like a before/after, bc he thinks going to prison actually preserves the person's body a lot better than being outisde and having access to cheap food, cheap drugs, and cheap thrills, so ppl can sit tight and hyperfocus on self-improving for a half-decade or whatever. convict conditioning just takes that snake plissken logic and runs with it into a wall
Starting strength does work. I lost 50 pounds and gained a ton of muscle Natty.
>>75381660I miss Love Line so much bro
>>75380703I tried stopping a little short of failure a few times doing medium rep "hypertrophy" lifts. I suspect it doesn't work as well but sure didn't do a double blind study.Then the nerds went back to hyping failure.
>>75381894You're not working as close to failure as you think. I'd bet your failure sets are actually 2 RIR as well
>>75381903>weight stops moving up despite my efforts>i guess this isn't failuresmd
>>75381916Most lifters mentally fail before they physically fail.So despite any determination on your part you probably mentally gave up before your muscles were to give up.If your life depended on it you would have got some more reps but most people dont have the capacity to force themselves into that state of mind for true failure.Mike is right but that is a "flaw" in high intensity because most people dont have that mental ability.
>>75381963I think HIT can work on lifters with some experience and knowledge about their bodies. It's terrible for total beginners (I fell for it, zero progress in four months).Me:>low bar squat
>>75380703tried monkemaxxing for a bit because /fit/ made it sound cool
>>75382041How much blood did you shit
>>75380703experiencing life on earth
>>75382047I didn't shit blood, but I started vomiting a lot and generally felt like shit
>>75382013Same.I tried doing HIT but I found I just wasn't lifting much because I failed mentally well before I did physically.I've modified my routine so I do two sets of reps at a minimum amount and then on the third set go for failure so that way I at least got lifting in before my brain betrays me.
>>75380703Yup. Fell for that one. For years too, shame.Another one is veganism
Fell for the MMA meme.
>>75382096>>75381963what does it feel like to actually go to failure? when I'm in that headspace I find myself doing stupid shit and getting hurt, like hiking the bar up by twisting my torso during bench or whatever.
>>75382114>HollywoodIf jews wrote those scripts, this is what it would sound like. Oh wait
fell for PPL, GZCL, 5/3/1 other low volume leftist programs
>>75382124It's really intense and will leave you cover in sweat and out of breathe, I've never had runner's high but I assume the mental feeling you get is something like that. I find I can only really do it proper with excercises that dont "allow" cheating, like squats for example.
>>75381963>despite any determination on your part you probably mentally gave up before your muscles were to give up.I bet your life would be more pleasant if you didn't start interactions being a condescending piece of shit. I've done a lot of hard shit in my life and experienced plenty of discomfort, and it's not an issue to go to actual failure 15 sets in a row. Most of the people at the gym aren't breathing hard and making faces.When it gets over about 20 reps and it feels like the muscle is about to cramp, I stop before failure, not because it hurts but because I don't want to cause injury. I don't even call that failure. Again, suck my dick.
>>75382195Jesus christ dude you need therapy.I was using the general "you" not you specifically.This is a really embarrassing post.
>>75382041no way you were this retarded
>>75382201I accept your concession.
>>75382212Holy retard
>>75382212I want to say this is bait but it's probably genuine retardation.
>>75382229>>75382238You got boomed. It happens.
>>75382139So what are some examples of right-wing high volume programs?
>>75380703>bulking/cutting is unhealthy
>>75382508russian bear program?
>>75382508German volume training
>>75381963>Mike is right but that is a "flaw" in high intensity because most people dont have that mental ability.NTA but I don't see how it's possible to not know when you physically are incapable of doing another rep. I've surprised myself a handful of times by grinding out a SINGLE rep I thought wasn't possible, so this idea that you can get more reps if you just believe harder doesn't fucking compute.SOME people might not have the capability, but most? Get real.
>>75383013Yes most. Unless you've been to the absolute limit usually with a spotter for stability most people call it a rep or two early.
>>75383037Are you including isolations in that? Like it's retarded to even bring up needing spotters to go to "true failure" when machines and cheating exists, or do you actually have someone spotting your db curls in the gym.
>>75383070Try it. You're probably leaving a rep or two off. It's easy to think you've been to failure when your only point of reference is what you've been doing.
>>75383074Oh okay you're just trolling, nvm.
>>75383078>there's no difference between believing and knowing when it comes to melol
>>75380703>page 12: Start with 35lb and/or 53lb kettlebells. Work up to 70 or 88lb kettlebells. >page 14: The workout consists of 100 one-arm swings (sum of both sides) completed in 5 minutes, and 10 Turkish get-ups (in sets of 1) completed in 10 minutes, with 1 minute of rest>try challenging yourself eventually with a 105lb kettlebell>...>and now, 140 pages full of yapping with tacticool swag aesthetic mixed with le trad russia larp
>>75383840Zigger bullshit
>>75382508GVT, Russian Squat Routine, Destroy the Opposition, Smolov/Smolov Jr.
>>75383013> I don't see how it's possible to not know when you physically are incapable of doing another rep. I've surprised myself a handful of times by grinding out a SINGLE rep I thought wasn't possibleUse RPE and you'll get better at gauging it.
Push Pull Legs
>>75383078Lifting is not for you, friend. Gaming should fit you better.
>>75380707This. Being fit is extremely helpful in combatting depression, anybody who says differently is lying.
>>75380875What’s the myth with OHP? Quick Rundown?
>>75380703In retrospektiv, the first part is the funniest cringe LARP I have ever read. "Le anonymous convict coach", goddamn, my Immortal is an absolute Masterpiece compared to that shit.. I just wonder if Pavel has written it or Al Kavadlo.
>>75383840Two exercises and a lot of retarded anecdotal evidence.
>>75384312>destroy the oposition >jamie lewis>right wing
>>75381851the podcast is about the same if you ignore 80% of the crap guests which is easy
>>75380703I remember in one of these books the author unironically called kali muscle a natty and this was when chuck basher was at his peak juiced to the max
>>75380703i found a xerox copy of this when i was 11 and got obsessed with it for a couple months, it's what made me care about my physical prowess in the first place so i have a soft spot for all its mystikal orient crapola
>>75380875How is this a meme?
>>75383840Pavel is like all great artists where their first couple works are great, and the rest are just commercial rehashes to make money.
>>75384753Looks like giga chad
>>75384928"OHP is a meme" is in itself a meme.
>>75383078Honestly can't tell if people like that are trolling or real autists. Not the ones who wear video game shirts, but the ones who actually can't interact with someone without making them want to leave the room. But you'd have to be fucked up to dedicate the time to trolling so either way they're mental cases.
>>75385178He finally made it
>>75385119>Pavel is like all great artistsIn that he is a massive coping homosexual
>>75383840>>75384668Oh yeah. GTG actually helped me get my first pistol squat but aside from that I'm glad I never seriously trained by his retarded methods
>>75380703pplhigh volume as a nattydirect forearm workfailure every set
>>75387731so what's not a meme then?
>>75381660What he doesn't understand is the type of person to be in prison in the first place. They're usually high test violent men. The average guy is not doing 100s of burpees a day.
>>75380703Barbell compounds are enough for abs/arms.
>>75380703Eating 5x a day.
>>75382013hit dyels never post body kek
