>>77042325POST BODY vs KEKKE SPAM Who would win in a fight?
Weight is barely trending downward, basically static, but according to smart scale bodyfat% is steadily dropping and lean body mass is increasing. Does this mean recomp is actually happening? I know smart scales are shit though so can’t be sure. Still a beginner and still overweight so basically no visually indication of progress.
>>77042343Are you getting stronger and your weight is staying the same?
>>77042348Well yesterday I noticed my squat and bench are actually back at pre-deload weight and I didn’t even realize it. They were very hard when I last did them whereas now they’re manageable so thats something.
>>77042330Post body
>>77042355NEVER!
I feel like sometimes my non dominant arm (left) tires more slowly than my right. Like it has retard strength and could take a rep or two more. This doesnt make intuitive sense to me-- wouldn't my dominant arm naturally be much stronger just by being passively use more? Anyone else experience this?
>>77043338Sometimes this happens when I follow lat pulldown with something like db curls. I suspect it's because my dominant arm did more work on the two hander, but not sure
I've been having this weird issue with bench press and overhead press.I get shaky legs and it's embarrassing, I can still do it but I don't know why it happens or how to stop it.Do I need to work on my legs more?
Sorry to ask this, but I have a chubby gf, and I'm probably skinny fat.It's very hard to manhandle her and it make me feel emasculated.What can I do to be able to handle her around?Other than make her lose weight, that's a losing fight.
Why is it so hard to build muscular frame while very easy to feminize it?
Would I get any strength if I eat at deficit but still meet my required protein intake?I was skinny fat that got skinny through diet a lot (mostly cutting slop and cooing my own meals)I know a lot say recomp is a hoax, and I don't really care about aesthetics.I just don't want to be so weak I can't move a coach.Would any basic program offer this? or do I need to eat more?
>>77043628Recomping from untrained you will get a lot stronger. Part of recomping is lifting.
Anyone else have high blood pressure? I have a low resting heart rate. My EKG was normal. My labs are normal. My urine is normal. However my systolic BP trends in the lower 140s. The diastolic is in the 60s or 70s. I get a physical from my job and that's how I learned it was in the 140s.I get terrible sleep so I bet that plays a role, but I'm curious about anyone else with a higher blood pressure.
>>77043620lmao "feminize" that's a dude still 100%
Is chest+back, legs+abs, arms+shoulders, repeat better or worse than chest+shoulders, legs+abs, arms+back repeat?I worry I am overtraining my arms and not giving them enough recovery time.
Which is the best for aesthetics?What's the ideal number of reps/set?
>>77044398weighted chins so you hit your bis more IMO
>>77044400>weighted chinsI'm struggling to reach 10 with bodyweight only.
>>77044410I see. Keep it up
>>77044413Thanks, I will. Takes time to build muscle because I'm a skeleton.
Boys, I might have a hernia. With Canadian wait times I might not be able to get the surgery for a while. If thats the case can I still do anything to build strength and muscle? Or at least maintain it?
So does the difficulty of lifts stay more or less consistent in spite of increasing weight if your muscle mass increases proportionately? Is it normal to feel like you're close to failure every workout?
>>77044596>Is it normal to feel like you're close to failure every workout?Thats the goal isn't it? Just don't over do it and take deloads once in a while.
>>77044398That dude is tucking his massive cock into his shirt
I can't even do 1 pull up with my fat 270lb ass
>>77044613How about chin ups? Your first chin fatso.
Stuck in this limbo where I'm too much of a fat retard to cut and I'm skinny fat, and I'm no longer getting noob gains so I have no idea what to do. Should I just focus on body recomp?
>>77044609That's just a side effect of pull ups/chin ups
Can someone tell me how to pump? Was going to take some pictures and is there an angle/light frauding guide somewhere. On a completely separate note, my gym has a safety squat bar, is it a good way to do more upright squats if front squats jam the bar into my throat? My shoulders aren't limbering up or my forearms are too long, not sure which.
>>77043619SS + accessories (pullups and arm work)+ cardio>>77043620Knowing they have tiny nipples is a turn off sry>>77043628Recomping doesn't work for the vast majority of people Most anecdotal evidence is just overblowing an increase in muscular definition You should be eating 0.8g of protein for every pound of lean mass you have everyday but at a deficit, it will be incredibly difficult to gain strength and impossible to build mass >>77044282It happens I feel like utter dogshit in the 140sLess caffeine, less fapping and more cardio>>77044362I ran Chest+back+press® optionArms + shoulder fliesLegs + abs Actually doing the real lifts All the way from 2/3/4 to 3/4/5 and hit an ffmi over 25 under 10% bf after a period of optimizing I'm natty tho so I couldn't stay that lean and big long
>>77044398You should be doing chins + wide grip pullups + barbell rows off the floor for a well rounded back>>77044570Roid>>77044596You want to progressively overload to be at failure every workoutLove or hate SS/SL, the principles work for everyone It definitely changes as you gain notable strength but your max capacity is always there, teasing you to break through it It's pretty comfy to start warming up your bench with lmao 2pl8?! Tho>>77045104Bulk out and then cutYou should be doing cardio all the time so bulking and cutting isn't hardAlso, unless you're intermediate (check symmetric strength) you likely still have plenty of noob gains leftAlso recomp doesn't work sry>>77045217I get the best pump on the 3rd or 4th set of 6ish reps to failure You basically just want the most extreme lighting to show dimension (like a straight down light)
>>77045235>less fappingFuck, does that raise your blood pressure?

How much of a meme SL/SS programs for a woman?
When someone says they can bench 200/ squat 200 etc what exactly does it mean? They can do that for 1 rep? Or multiple reps? If so, how many? 6? 8?
Why supersets/circuits are bad?I'm a beginner and I'm doing a modified version of SS that's closer to SL, without the GOMAD meme.And doing it that way i can shorten my time in the gym to 30 minutes.
If I look like pic related and relatively short.Is it better to focus on achieving an ottermode body?
As a woman that train legs with (squats/leg press/hip thrust).My legs lose stamina with extended riding during intimate time with my bf.What can I do?Use the stairmaster?
>>77046325Listen here little baby. You're gonna get a lot of hurtful and degrading comments, but that ain't what I'm about. Let me just say, you are perfect the way you are. You hear me sugar? PERFECT. Don't ever change. You deserve anything and everything you want. Stay safe for me, baby girl.>mfw thinking about you hurting
>>77046322Depends entirely on what aesthetic you want. You aren't going to be locked out of any from that starting point, it will just take longer if you want to get fuckhugeI started from skelly mode too with the goal of just getting huge, and I found it really easy to start from because diet is so simple when you have so much to gain

>>77046359like I'm talking teenage horndog levels of this shit, I was playing Silent Hill 4 on my ps2 recently and just Eileen's thighs made me need a fap29 btw
>>77046307Why do you want to shorten your time in the gym? Just don't lift bro. It's not obligatory. It's not like getting plastic surgery you'll need to keep lifting for the rest of your life or your gains will evaporate in weeks/months. Find a different hobby that you enjoy.
How to get thin ankles?

How do I make my grip hurt less when pulling up? the fat between my fingers and palm get's bruised and it's really uncomfortable, even just dead hanging hurts.
What program do I need to get aesthetics like pic?
>>77046478Just diet and do cardio to be cute like thatProbably need some glute work tho>>77046449More whole red meat and cardio>>77046359Quit wasting gains on nutting >>77046325Cardio for sure>>77046322I would bloat max and lift heavy until you fill out your shirts>>77046307You want maximum output and you can't get that running around doing other shitYou can superset anything that's not the 3 big lifts that dayAlso, you better be doing the actual big lifts. If you swapped out any of them, you ARE NOT doing the program You can add accessories tho>>77046300Usually people say their 1rm or will specify.My peak dead was 535 but I could pull 475 for 7+SS or SL plus hip thrusts and cardio is all a girl needs Dudes need arm work and some pullups

Just embarrassed myself by pulling a 9min 2k while everyone else did sub 7:30. I am NOT making it into the race, fuck my stupid skelly life.Not only that but my retarded ass wore thermals so I was forced to go shirtless unless I wanted to fry and everyone saw my malnourished body riddled with surgery scars.Adjusted time would be in the 7:30 ballpark but no one cares about adjusted time.I HATE EATING I HATE EATING I HATE EATING I HATE EATINGI basically only eat junk food but still can't go over 52kg because eating more than once a day, then snacking, is out of the question both physically, mentally and financially.>just cook broIs even worse because wasting so much time (shop, prep, cooking, eating, dishes) on something that will end up more expensive over a 5 minute walk to the nearest KFC and Tesco for some veggies just does not compute in my brain.Also autistic af so eating refrigerated food is an absolute no go, therefore meal prep is out of the question.Right, questions, my question? How do I escape this hell?
Can I get some advice?I feel like my back isn't as developed as the rest of my body.
>>77047412be less retarded
>>77047421upper back is fine, lats are non existent. spam pullups or lat pulldowns.
>>77047425NTA, but I think the real problem is lack of chest instead.
>>77047423What niggerlicious insight! Why didn't I think of that!?
>>77047435his chest is likely fine, posing like that always makes your chest look flat if you're natty
>>77047412I'm by no means an expert, but I'll be honest so much food related stuff started to click for me once I started actually cooking, paying attention to the ingredients and whatnot. It sounds super fucking retarded but realising that I wouldn't eat an onion by itself because it's disgusting but I loved it as a small part of something larger really helped my mindset.I was malnourished as a child, fed a diet of chicken nuggets and chips forever, basically fucked up my entire mindset around food. I know you said you don't want to cook, but at least for me it was really the gamechanger. I had to sort of push through this really intense desire to just not bother. Honestly, it was probably my malnourished brain not wanting to try.Yes it's definitely time consuming, but it's way fucking cheaper than KFC, unless maybe you're a norfman and get cheap takeaway.

Do girls just like always having the attention of the guy their seeing. I dont think im even really offical yet but im exhausted. I cant finish one date without already planning the next. Theres just always got to be something going on. I need a deload sometimes, maybe its just a skill issue, but man i feel smothered.
>>77048894The most aesthetics come from having a lot of lean mass and minimal body fatYou can't build lean mass without being at a calorie surplus due to how resource intensive lean mass is That said, the fastest/most effective training strategy is to move the most weight across the most of your body the most times due to hormonal responses combined with muscle activation With that tho, The Look©®™ people are chasing has been defined by cheaters (roiders) who just do easy shit like arm work so to look like them, on top of all the major compounds being trained heavy at volume, you need arm and lateral delt isolation to use those hormonal responses to build a little more muscle on those areas than just compounds will stimulateSo on my way to breaking an ffmi of 25 while under 10% bf, I trained the main lifts generally at 5+ sets of 4-6, accessory compound lifts at sets of 8ish, then straightforward hammers and skullcrushers in 5+ sets of 5 and some curl and tricep variation around 8 repsAnd then I would end with some leaning forward shoulder flies, varying intensity, often training sets of 12, but rotating in heavier sets to the point I was doing sets of 12 with 35s

>>77049194Mass is meme word for bloatmaxxersYou don't need """mass""" to get good health and looking great.And you can get defined with proper diet at maintenance, it's just slow.Most of the "functional" strength just neuromuscular adaptation.Which is more than enough for 85% of people.unless you want to get into show biz or professional competitions then do gear.
>>77049222coyotes and dogs are more or less the same, etc.

>>77049230No one here gives a flying fuck about actual health They want to get huge yolked jacked whatever To efficiently gain lean mass (5-10lbs/year) you have to be at a solid calorie surplus, stimulate hormonal response while stimulating muscle and, most importantly, stay under 20% bodyfatYou being afraid of losing definition on your dyel body will only slow down your progress overall I've been here 17 years, I've seen hundreds of posters like you You can't become exceptional without doing things that make you uncomfortable

I've gone from basically no movement to a 10km walk every day for the past 2 weeks. My heels and ankles hurt a bit. Google says it might be plantar fasciitis, but I dunno. Should I be worried about it? It's not too bad, I can push through this. I guess I don't want to use this as an excuse to stop exercising, I've done that with so many "reasons" in the past and I want to avoid it.I read that ice can help but I don't have a god damn freezer so I don't think that's really an option. Although maybe a little countertop freezer would be a nice idea.Oh also, my lower back has been hurting a bit while walking, it goes away fairly quickly afterwards but it is quite sore. Any ideas there? Thanks.
>>77050037>10km walk every dayThat'd be a bit of a jump from nothing. Reminds me of when I started doing jobs as a teen that had me on my feet all day, it took a few weeks for my feet to stop hurting (and that was with days off).>heelsNormal pain that will go away in time, ime.>anklesThis concerns me, but may just go away with proper rest.>lower backOdd posture while walking perhaps?Overall take a few breaks, like once a week. Perhaps on that "rest" day, you could replace walking with basic calisthenics (bodyweight movements) like lunges or squats (in place).
im trying to get into homegym and feel like kettlebells and running may be the easiest way for me to maintain general fitness at homeis there a routine specific to running and kettlebells or should i just run simple&sinister plus couch to 10k at the same timealso any recommended kettlebells to purchase
I'm a dyel but I go to concerts a lot and standing in one place for a couple hours gives me discomfort in my lower back, I'm assuming this is due to a weak coreWould planks, russian twists, leg raises be enough to help remedy this?
>>77049151Noted. Thanks man
>>77042343if you're able to either lift heavier weights as a 1RM or lift the same weight for more reps, it's probably indicating the correct trend even if the actual percentages are off. do you have other indicators to suggest that you're losing fat such as clothes fitting looser/better?
>>77050382i'd assume your shoes/insoles are shot desu, though it could be a weak core too>>77050037>sedentary to 10km with no gradual increaseit's likely that you went from nothing to "a lot" and your body is adapting. it's also worth checking out your shoes/insoles, a worn out pair of shoes can cause those pains in your ankles and back>>77049934depends on your training goals, weight, [body part] size, etc is only telling part of the story>>77049595if this was actually diagnosed, ask your doctor. eating a balanced, varied diet is going to resolve most problems too>>77049366>haven't been sick since I was 15if you're not really going into public, this isn't a flex>haven't vomited since I was 13this isn't hard to accomplish if you don't drink or use drugs. the last time i thew up that wasn't directly caused by alcohol was easily in elementary school

are there any alternative lifts to hit chest that aren't bench or pushups? One of my shoulders has been messed up since last summer, and doing any sort of weighted press motion even with good form takes my shoulder out for at least a week.
>>77051178What about flies? Cable or dumbell might feel fine, have you tried dips?
Is there any use for the water leftover in the bottom of the slow cooker after Im done with cooking my beef? Like is there any goodness in there I should be getting into my body?
>>77051395Any liquid involved in cooking is gonna have some nutrients that leeched out.You can try to turn it into a sauce by reducing it or adding a thickener or both.
I've progressed to declined push up for better shoulder muscles control.But I feel the muscles in my lower abs, and it's actually sore the next day.Does it mean I have weak core? or decline push up activate those as well?

What can I do to boost my libido?Right now I just have sex once a week with my gf, she doesn't initiate sex but would respond to me all the time if I initiate.Problem I don't get horny as much as I used to when I was a teen and I started to get less horny since I quit porn when I got a gf.I'm reasonably healthy too, and not a fat slop, but maybe a skinny fat.

my pull ups seems to lag behind everything else i do. right now i do sets of 8 2x a week. how often should i be able to add more reps to my sets?
>>77051886I'm 45 and take the following according to RDAs:>zinc picolinate>vit D>multivitamin>ashwaghanda (my one allowed placebo)I've tried a bunch of other things, but this is what works for me. If I'm taking this 5+ days a week, I need to cum 4+ times a week or I get crazy. If I stop I'll go for a week or more without thinking about it.This is for libido. Many of the things people here will recommend are just for cum volume (lecithin for instance) or boner quality (l citrulline or l arginine to promote NO for blood pressure). I've taken all of that and just settled on cialis when I want it.
>>77051395That's where all the collagen ends up. Let it cool, skim the fat, then use the rest instead of water for making rice or whatever.
>>77047481Obviously. Use a box of some sort to stand on so you have some of your weight carried by feet.Work your dip and find that sore spot and get stronger. Sounds like a form issue. Get stronger before dumping your entire weight on your joints and muscles.
>>77042343Don't overthink this. Forget your body weight. Focus on lifting and stronger. Compound lifts if a beginner. Lift every day and adjust your routine by muscle group as you get stronger. Lift every day so it becomes a habit. Sleep, water, protein. It will be a year until you see a result that anyone would have to say, that guy trains. This is what i was told a year ago February. I lost 50lbs and broadened my shoulders and dropped my waistline to 35. Im very old too so anyone can do this.
>>77043628>I just don't want to be so weak I can't move a coach.High goal is great but why not just start with some squats?
>>77046143not worth the effort, they dont know what theyre doing.
>>77045217A window facing West at sunrise. You want to be lit from the side, not overhead. Use manual camera setting to adjust for low light.
>>77045385Doctors are shit today. Never tell them you are using grey market peps. They will put it into their records connected to insurance and your coverage will get dropped. My bathtub reta came directly from china but the distrubutors get shut down so you have to know what is working now. Use the forums. Reta works great. So does T. Train daily. Get your cardio and a little legs, yes squats, get it in there. If you do this, you will be successful.
>>77052194It's not about the pussy, it's about sending a message.
>>77049383>>700 calories is not a lotFatty.
>>77052161Thanks, I do take these as well.And I don't have problem with volume, it's just libido issues.Maybe forcing yourself to cum 4 times a day would help.I don't have erections issues thankfully.
>>77052160Bodyweight stuff really depends on bodyweight (obv lmao) and how everything else is doing So my dip reps progressed crazy slow but I was adding to my bench almost every week for yearsSo as long as your dead and rows are progressing, it doesn't matter
>>77052161You can swap something that works (rhodiola, panax ginseng, tongkat ali) for ashwa and get better results Do you do cardio tho
>>77052254I'm 6'4 and ran IF for years and now do only 2 meals a day700 is rookie numbersI'm about 15% bf right now since I've fallen off cuz parenthood
>>77052292Cardio for sure if you're on this stack and lack libido Increasing calories and fixing your macros would help also.Can't fuck if you're starving
>>77052221KekJust get drunk with them, be sensitive but strong and then, if conversation gets heated, talk about breeding them
>>77042343This guy is mostly right >>77052181If noob, run an LP like SS or SL plus accessories and focus on moving more weight more times and how you feel and then only measure yourself with a tape measure Obsessing about weight is retardedYour goal physique weighs 50-90lbs more than you think
>>77052313Ok, hear me out. We all know it's gay if the balls touch, right? But a lesbian has no balls, so girl on girl is straight by default. So her having sex with women is actually straight, and if she really wants to prove she's gay then she needs to be having sex with men.
>>77052303I'm good on cardio. I picked ashwa because of its claims about anxiety too. Pill me on these others - I'm happy with the ashwa but you're supposed to cycle it, so I wouldn't mind rotating it with something else.
>>77052376Do you actually do dedicated cardio or notAshwa has to build up in your system, rhodiola works right nowPanax ginseng works right now but not as wellTongkat Ali is one of those 2, I forget which one Eating more calories and less protein would probably be more effective in libido than anything else tho
>>77052621Yes I do cardio.>more calories and less proteinSuddenly everything you say sounds suspicious. I'm still listening, but yeah.
Is 1/2/3/4 a proper goal or does it heavily leans toward lower body development?
>>77052946>Is 1/2/3/4 a proper goal3/4 are in the some people will get spinal injuries despite good form area, while the benefits are dubious if you aren't into competitive lifting. You don't even have to do it to lie about it here and call others dyel.
>>77052754Protein nukes your test because that's test's main jobYou want to cap your protein at 0.8g of protein per pound of lean mass you haveIf you adjust that while maintaining calories and your libido doesn't come back you need to then increase calories while maintaining that protein intake>>770529462/3/4 is baby's first strength goalRetards like >>77053071Think you have to injure yourself or some retarded shit when all you have to do is hit legs as often as the rest of your body and you should end up there following progressive overload principles and eating properly
>>77053071>some people will get spinal injuries despite good form areaThose are just people who think they have good form when they don't
>>77046307>Why supersets/circuits are bad?Because you faggots hog 5 machines at once
>>77053324>machinesI use barbell
>>77053331so now you're occupying several racks which is even worse
>>77053335Not his problem?
>>77053335I have one at home.
>>77052194Please elaborate
i'm not in great shape but still ride bike and skateboard and such, i'm not like a fat slob (maybe just a slob)--whenever i jog the side of my abdomen hurts like a mother fucker, way before I get winded. but when I run or sprint it doesn't hurt. what's going on there, how do i fix it?
>>77053166>Those are just people who think they have good form when they don'tNot always true, but is there a test to see if you think you have good form and you're right, vs. thinking you have good form and you're wrong? You don't know until you're injured.
>>77053685Ask a coach, ask someone with experience, or you can even record yourself and watch it t. You should also be receptive to criticism. Majority of people don't even do any that and just lift through feeling it out.
>>77053466Kidney pains/pangs depending on what you read
How the fuck do you get this cursed body?
Do I realistically need anything more than decline crunches and back extensions for adequate core strenght?
>>77049425dude on the right looks better which is funny considering the british witchhag looking tranny on the left is on trannymeds while the right isnt
>>77054945AGP vs HSTS
>>77054657Control top shape wear. Look close, you can tell it's spandex right up to her tits.
has there been any formal research into strength/hypertrophy outcomes when doing BOTH low reps and moderate/ high rep ranges? I've looked at some studies and meta analysis but it seems every study is just low reps vs moderate/high reps, never a combined approach. My expectation is that if the theory that low reps and moderate reps favor different fiber types is true, then doing both could be better than doing only one or the other.
What benefit do power cleans provide? I'm a gym newfag and it seems like an intimidating lift with a high chance of one injuring themselves
I'm 84kg 6'0" 19% bodyfat been lifting for a couple months. Should I keep slowly losing weight (was 89kg at start) eating just below maintenance or when should I switch to cutting / bulking?
>>77043620Same reason is ewsy to spend money and hard to earn it
Can I do rows instead of power cleans for SS phase 2? Or am I just being a bitch? Power cleans just seem so much more dangerous than everything else I've ever done, I'm a bit intimidated and concerned for my safety. I'm not sure what could go wrong but my gut is telling me to do something else.
>>77055607Benefit is they feel good lol. But also your entire posterior chain gets a nice power workout and works your CNS and whatever. Power snatches are fun too.
>>77054811>adequateDepends how you feel about it. Having more stability along more axis will be functionally more useful, but may not look as aesthetically pleasing. For example, the muscles involved in bending/stabalizing sideways can be very useful, but may widen your waist in a weird looking way for some.>>77055607>high chance of one injuring themselvesThat's the case for all increasingly complex movements. It just means you should take it slow at first and develop the skill of the movement before jumping into developing the strength of it.>>77055742>when should I switch to cutting / bulking?It's preference; do as you wish. Fwiw, it's popular to follow the annual season (bulk when colder and cut when warmer).
>>77042325Is my fertility fucked?Little to no libido.Previous ejaculations were on the lighter sight, sometimes kinda yellow.I can get hard pretty easy if I try, but I'm nowhere near as virile as I was 10 years ago. I'm 26 for context. Have some vague ache in my balls sometimes, veins feel kinda large like I can feel them, but not so big it's scary. No really great pain.Had some semen residue in my urine today, again no pain, just out of the ordinary.Been eating a lot of eggs lately which seems to make me feel a little better.Jacked off last month but now going for a streak, I figure it'd be better to retain for awhile to see if that improves the quality, which has been the case in the past.
I'm trying to strengthen my shoulders. In my right (dominant) arm I sometimes feel a sharp pain that feels like a tendon getting caught and painfully popping back into place.I recently figured out how to reliably reproduce this, by doing barbell front raises with supinated grip. Pain occurs on the eccentric, usually once in the first rep or two, and more pronounced if my hands are closer together.Will more barbell front raises help solve this or make it worse? I have already greatly improved other popping and clicking by doing cuban press.
>>77056425go see a urologist. nobody here has a sense of taste refined enough to know what, if anything, is wrong with your cum. but nothing sounds worryingly off. you might just be doomspiraling.>nowhere near as virile as you were at 16no shit, and you never will be again
>>77056457Go to youtube and watch shorts by SquatUniversity until you find a clip that matches your issue, and follow what he says to do to fix it.
How to get jacked without doing anything?
>>77055975Just stop doing SS and find yourself a nice UL or PPL and start living the rest of your life without fear of reprisal from a doomsday cult.>>77055742It'll take you longer than you think to cut for summer. June is only 17 weeks away, dawg.
>>77056458I don't like doctors, I'd rather learn to do this stuff on my own. Why pay doctors money when you can do it for free?Is it common to have smaller loads only being in my mid 20s? I'm just worried about having retard babies.
>>77056504>>77056425Update, I think it's mainly from prolonged sitting, I sit too much in a day because of what I'm doing.
Animals get jacked without even going to the gym. How?
>>77056531Constant activity from birth. Humans used to be this way too, but when we developed modern agriculture we started living sedentary lifestyles.
>>77056504retardation is partially genetic so there's a good chance you would have retarded kids. if you won't see a urologist or fertility clinic the best you can diy would be looking at your cum under a microscope. you can find the guidelines for semenalysis with a quick search
>>77056647Well it's a good thing I'm not retarded and otherwise self sufficient. Natural remedies are superior, besides, almost everyone responsible for "Modern Medicine" is linked to Epstein and pedo rings, so I don't trust them. Every answer they give is "You need surgery," or "You need medications," so no thanks, I just want to know what to eat, how to treat myself better, and get healthier without giving money to jews.
Do they make pills for people who sweat too much? I haven't been diagnosed with anything but I'm pretty sure I have a condition and it's only gotten worse over the years. Every single day my underwear is dampened by my sweaty ass and I'm fucking sick of it.
>>77056657I diagnose you with being an unfit couch potato. Do cardio.
>>77056685I've been skinny my whole life and my job required I'm on my feet most of the day. I'm by no means lazy or extraordinarily sedentary. My pits, ass and feet just love to fucking sweat
>>77056657its a conditioning/cardio/being fat thing
>>77055202No man, is is actual body.
>>77056685>>77056789NTA but I'm fit and sweat a lot. I think it's gotten worse since I gained a bunch of muscle.
DEADLIFTING.They all say to pull and create tension before the lift, and not to jerk it (I'm not talking olympic lifting) off the floo, as it'll cause injury. I follow this advice but it feels like way more of an effort to get it all the way up. When I occasionally pull with a snap from a bit more of a relaxed position it shoots up was more easily.What is going on?
>>77057463What matters is keeping your spine in a fixed position (neutral) relative to itself Pull fast, pull slow, it doesn't matter What matters is not letting your back move>>77056657Stop fapping in the morning retard lmao>>77056477Roids>>77056457Fap with the other hand, get the knots out of your traps>>77056425Hydration and cardio are what you need Since you're here, I assume you're buying your test with way too much protein You need exactly 0.8g of protein for every pound of lean mass you have and no moreThe extra liver function beyond that is resource intensive and fucks your libido>>77055975I always did rows or full cleansPower clean are gay af>>77055742I would run SS, try to cut and then bulk>>77055598Heavier reps recruit more total muscle fiber No study had actually gone long enough for good information regardless In my experience getting past an FFMI of 25 lean as a natty, the bulk of your lifts should be heavy to failure (5-10 sets of 4-6), some accessories should be sets of 8ish, and then the only movement that benefits from more than that is shoulder fliesYou can do trash volume to help cut/stay lean tho, you just don't want it to impede your strength gains

Im currently cutting with a 500cal deficit.TDEE comes out as 1755, so that would be 1255.Question: I remember reading somewhere you shouldnt go below 1400cal a day regardless of TDEE, is that true?
>>77057564>TDEE comes out as 1755that's very little. Are you sure you're calculating it correct? Are you adding your amount of exercise into this calculation?
>>77057558That's natty woman tho.
>>77057572I remember reading in a sticky some time ago that you should put sedentary as baseline cause most people overestimate their training effect.With 5.6 inch and 125pounds i get 1755.Goal weight would be 119 to get the last bit of belly fat away for the abs.
>>77057555I wasn't asking about form. I'm talking about when to pull
Trying to cure my porn addiction, how long should I go cold turkey without fapping or watching porn to unfuck my brain?
>>77057601same as most addictions, until you feel like it's no longer controlling or affecting your life negatively. There's no magic number
>>77057237Ok, well, so the body is already amenable to it, but that unnatural shape and clear line below the bra in >>77054657 is still shapewear.

>At gym>Doing a dumbell lift>Your weight is takenAssuming you don't feel like waiting around or you're pressed for time, do you go up or down in weight?
If my routine is PPL-PPL, can one session of each be devoted to low volume, high intensity hard sets and the other session high volume low intensity pump sets?
>>77058004That's what I do. High weight low reps with barbells one day and lower weight high reps with dumbells the other.
I can't do a single pullup. What muscles need strengthening and what exercises can I do? So far I've got hinged rows, negative dumbell press, hollow hold. When I was a kid I could do pullups all day but somewhere along the way I've lost the requisite strength (35 yo boomer)
>>77058446do you go to a gym? >lat pulldown>curl variations>rows
Is Hack Squat Machine viable alternative for traditional Barbell Squatting? I'm still traumatized by snap city visit when I was younger and would rather prioritize safety over optimal gains since I'm not young lad anymore (34M)
>>77058454Thanks. Nah can't afford it - I've got some dumbbells at home and use what equipment is available in the park
soon lads. my first ever dedicated cut, god i love ai, i never really knew how to cut so i didn't want to risk anything, but ever since my buddy told me a goal i've been hellbent on achieving it, that goal is a 76cm waist. Im very pleased with the results i have been cutting since november 2025 but that would be on last years data and im not sharing all that haha, so this is my 2026 progress. It has been incredibly easy I eat 2000-2500 calories(trying to be closer to 2k) and i do my same workout ulxulxx and try to hit 10k steps. I look great i feel confident looking in the mirror and in photos, i am simply overjoyed lads, but there is still work to be done.
>>77057970>up or downDepends on preference imo. Either go down and do high reps or go up and do low reps. As long as you push for failure. Therefore, if time is a concern I'd go up and if my joint/safety/CNS is of concern, I'd go down.>>77058446>What musclesUpper back and biceps.>what exercisesPractice controlling the descent of the movement. Use a stool/platform to get up to the top of a pullup and slowly go down (controlling it).>>77058465>dumbbellsRows can be good, but if they don't weigh much it'll be tough to make progress.>>77058455>prioritize safety over optimal gainsThat's a fine justification. As long as you can push for strong muscular fatigue (if not failure), you'll be alright.
>>77058478>Use a stool/platform to get up to the top of a pullup and slowly go down (controlling it)Thank you, will try this today.
I want to finally start working out just get stronger to be able to lift my gf. If I don't want to go to a gym, what are 1 of 2 pieces of equipment that I can buy that fit in a bedroom to get started on my journey.
HOLD YOUR HORSES!!! 4000 IS MORE THAN 629!?!?!? WHAAAAA
>>77057601The sticking point is when you start telling yourself that your dick might be broken and you need to have a fap just to check real quick that everything is fineThe devil knows how to tempt humans
>>77058527I'd just get two pairs of dumbbells. One being 20lbs and the other 30lbs. These would cover the basics of the muscles primarily involved. Ideally you'd be doing more exercises, but this will suffice.Legs:>squat and lunges (with or without dumbbells)Arms:>bicep curl (dumbbell, likely with higher weight)>front delt raise (dumbbell, likely with lower weight)Core (for bracing/stability):>planks
>>77042325I think I have low test, I have like no body hair and zero sex drive and ed. Do I just ask my doctor for test or to test it? then they give me shit to pin?
Whenever I do lateral raises, I get rubbery snapping feelings / sounds in my biceps / deltoid / shoulder blade areas. It used to stop if I externally rotated my shoulders, but now it doesn't, my right bicep continues to snap on every rep near the bottom of the eccentric, even when externally rotated. I've been doing face pulls, band pull aparts, reverse flyes, and other scapular exercises, but they haven't improved anything. How do I get this to stop happening?
>>77059034Don't do lateral raises. It's a dumb way to lift something.
>>77059081I've been doing full ROM with 10lbs dumbell and high reps, feels great, not to harsh, and a good way to get my rotator cuff nice and strong. More of a PT exercise, not strictly for gains, just for shoulder health.
>>77059034Don't do them. Single arm ohp is more side delt than anything.
>>77059081I need to, they're the best way to strengthen your lateral deltoids.
I can only do 3 chins, what do?

gf had an immediate family member die - though they've known it was coming for 6 months.How long is it reasonable to not ask for any sex?
>>77059127this is a question for /adv/ not /fit/
>>7705912725 hours. If she gets fussy just say we aren't just friends we're boyfriend and girlfriend (male i assume) and point to both of your genitals and say these are here for a reason.
>>77059102You shouldn't have to do a dozen rehab exercises just so you can keep snap crackle and popping your way through a meme exercise with no practical purpose
>>77059151It's already been 3 days. Seething because we'd only recently had a make or break conversation about her never initiating or making any effort. She said she'd try and now I can see months of nothing ahead and I can't say anything or else I'm a vicious monster.
>>77059168>You shouldn't have to do a dozen rehab exercisesYou're right, I shouldn't need to, but my anatomy is shit, so I do. There aren't any other good lateral deltoid exercises. Someone else said OHP, but that's mainly an anterior deltoid exercise.
I'm getting bored of Stronglifts and want to switch to something more aesthetic based. Doing PRs every session is brutal and I'm just in the gym too long and I really don't give a shit about squats anymore. I really like the app though so I'm trying to figure out what to switch to. Thinking something likeA:BenchIncline benchRowsDipsB:OHPDeadliftChinsPull ups
>>77059259Greyskull LP
>>77059034It also either happens or doesn't happen at random. I did a set and it felt smooth. Other times I'll do it in the same way at the same weight and it snaps on every rep.
>>77043619My wife is about the same size as rebel in that pic. She weighs 205 right now. I'm a /fraud/ and made it my goal to do standing missionary with her. At the moment, I can bench 235 for 3 reps, squat 265 for 4 reps, and deadlift 265 for 5 reps. I do cardio for 20 minutes 5 days a week. Another important exercise are back hyper extensions. I do these weighted at 80 lbs for 12 reps 2 sets. I also do a lot of accessory work. Anyway I can comfortably pick her up by her legs, walk her across the room, throw her on the bed and have my way with her. I can also do standing missionary but I gas out after about 20 seconds so I need to increase my cardio endurance and get my lifts up so I can go longer. Either way, it was a big win for me. I like picking women up during sex.
>>77059278Revolting.
>>77059273I completely forgot about Greyskull holy shit. This is also 'do it until you stall on everything' right? Or is it sustainable perpetually?
>>77059278>roiding for thiscongrats tho. happy for you>>77059176you should break up because you're not going to be happy with someone who doesn't fuck you and she's not going to be happy with someone who thinks getting his dick wet is more important than grieving a death in the family. and because your sex life was dead before her family member was. ask in >>>/adv/ next time retard.
