thanks for twitter screencap thread
I'm 33 and everything is slowing down. I'm doing 2 sets to failure on every movement and im doing U/L/x/U/L/x/x and it's still too much. Should i just one leg day per week?
>>77352738any reason to do upper lower than being sub 30iq? do bro split with low intensity if you can feel your life force waning
>>77352742>bro split with low intensityI'm not on roids
>Lifts heavy>Gets cardio>Hits his protein goalsDo you need more?
>>77352738Just listen to your body. If you feel like it’s too much then it is too much. Pay attention to getting enough protein and sleep. I’m 33 too and I just go by feel I don’t follow a plan on which days I lift but I go 3 or 4 times a week depending if I feel like I’ve recovered.
>>77352732YEAH BUT ARE THEIR BALLS MICROPLASTICS-FREE? I THINK NOT.
>>77352738I moved to a bro split, doing chest-mon, back-wed, shoulders and arms-fri, legs-sat. Sometimes I'm itching for more, so I'd throw in a second leg day on a Thursday, just do some adductors, abductors, single leg presses, stretches.Dick still barely works though.
>>77352732>dude it doesn't matter if I eat like shit and do drugs as long as i'm happy doing it i'm gonna be at optimal health lmao>my proof? Children with shitty habits that are yet to grow old enough to experience the long term consequences of their shitty habitsvery low IQ copeIt's always funny when degenerate addicts project their own dysfunction onto other people and assume you absolutely cannot derive satisfaction from eating real food and deal with life without being on any mind altering substances.
>>77352753how did he do that?
>>77352755Nice, have you tried nofap btw? You could combine chest with legs so you don't waste an extra day for legs only and also i do forearm workouts on leg days
>>77352785I have a massive difference between libido and actual ability to perform during sex. It's definitely psychological, have to go on nofap, yeah.
>>77352732Yeah, stress management is important. Thanks for the tip. I'll tell my financial problems to just stop bothering me, so I can sleep better.
>>77352753first time I've been impressed by this child molestor
>>77352802What are you doing to fix them? If you are already doing everything you can to fix them, why are you stressing out about something you're already addressing?
Wait so actually working out is better for you than being a consoomer of health meme shit?? Whoa
>>77352761the kid doesn't have shitty habits.He drinks coke zero, he eats enough.Meanwhile when I was his age I use to train rigorously for years but my mom would not buy me food and there was no internet to know what food was good or how to cook it, so my diet consisted of tomatoes, bread and sugared snacksGot zero gains from all my training.Hormones decide a lot, and when you're young you got great hormones. But you still need the knowledge to make good enough decisions because if you by bad luck end up in a bad situation, like it happened to me, you're fucked.
>>77352885Life is cruel. When you're young you have the best health, most freedom, but have no control of your life and no experience to make the right choices. When you're old you have the ability to choose where you live, what you eat, and have more knowledge, but now must spend all day in an office and looking after kids while your testosterone levels go down.
>>77352738lighten your working sets and increase volume. if you're doing sets of 5 do sets of 12.
>>77352732Sounds an awful lot like cope from people who want to believe that their sloppy/low effort is just as good as high effort. I'm sure there's a point at which obsessing over optimizing every aspect of your life starts to cause stress that counteracts it but that's not an excuse to avoid doing entry level shit like practicing basic sleep hygiene.
>>77352885>there was no internet to know what food was good or how to cook it, so my diet consisted of tomatoes, bread and sugared snackslmao shut the fuck up retard you didn't grow up in some magical ancient era where people didn't know that you need to eat protein to build muscle
>>77352806>t. 13 years oldOnce you have real problems you'll know that they're time-based (independent of how much you want to solve them today, you cannot) or unlimited (as soon as you solve part of one, there's a new piece of the problem ad infinitum)That's not too say stoicism can't help, but it most realistically looks like periodisation of your stressing out to dedicated chunks of the day, rather than being chill all day, because in your chillness you risk not doing all you can.
>>77352742Stop giving advice.
>>77352732>exercises a lot>eats lots of calories to build muscle>drinks soda with no sugar>sleeps well>stimulates his brain with vidyaIs this supposed to be unhealthy?This only sounds unhealthy to fat retards who think you need to eat salads for every meal to be healthy and foids who hate videogames.
>>77352738Oh my days do people normally just fall apart at 30? That's rough.T. 29
>>77352753OYYY VEYYYY
>>77352732Why do people have this tendency to list random facts on the internet and pretend they've made a point?
>>77352732Oh yeah?I'm 30, I eat sardines every day, goon for an hour, sleep 7 hours and my stress level is negative 5.
>>77352738I'm 37 and everything is getting better. The fuck did you do to yourselves? I hear this shit all the time and it makes no sense. I drank like a fish and smoked like a chimney from 15-35 and I feel better than ever.
>>77352732You know, you could just copy & paste instead of doing a screen shot and hardly anyone would know you're a massive lazy fucking faggot who is most likely a dyel jeet.
>>77352806>What are you doing to fix them?Working as much as possible and doing side work while paying as few taxes as I can.>why are you stressing out about something you're already addressing?Because I struggle to support my family, you dumb faggot. Get married and have kids, then get back to me.
>>77352738You're cooked. I'm 32, started working out first time around thanksgiving, do PPL 6x week 4x sets to failure on everything.I'm already up to 50lbs for reps on curls.
ive never been happier than now where i just play tennis every day and lift when i feel like it
>>77352732my mutual got super mad at this postprobably identified with the previous post (faggot)
>>77352732Trve. Looksmaxxers are miserable people on the inside.A Gym rat sees a fat guy in the gym and sees a person trying or maybe a powlifter if he is moving great weight, he hopes he has success because we're all gonna make it.The looksmaxxer thinks he is better then everyone despite being a gfless DYEL who nobody likes, he never talks to anyone, everyone sees him doing his weird esoteric cables and bands and think, why bother?Ugly people on the inside project on their face.
>>77352738Funny enough my best gainz have been in my 30s because I am forced to slow down and let my body actually recover. Also it forced me to be a bit more varied in my lifts and being more effecient.
>>77352732I have no problem dunking on "healthmaxxers," but I too was healthy, happy and immortal at 16.
>>77353170No you arent fatty.
>>7735320233" waist currently. Not big, not terrible. I'll cut back to 31" around 1 year anni.
>>77352738Try dropping the intensityInstead of going to full failure, keep one or two in the tank, instead of using higher weight try making lower weight harder through things like super slow negatives, etcIf your body is telling you that what you're doing is too much, you should listen to it, otherwise you're in the fast lane to Snap City. And rebuilding after an injury is much harder than just letting off the gas a little
>>77353190>my mutualNo one says that buddy
>>77352802get a better job and live frugally bro, I didn't look at my bank account for like 6 months and saved $10k pretty much without trying
>>77352900i grew up in the 90s, no, we didn't know unless you were into full on bodybuilding and had someone experienced tell you.how else are you supposed to find out? we had, tv, radio, books and community.tv/radio never gave us the connection, that's a dyel industry who hated chads hence all the nerd/jock seething in 80s/90s media, all hey said was muh roids muh meathead like it was just genetic.no-one thought there would be books on this shit.our communities were mostly boomer retards who ate like shit and fed their kids 90% carb diets.
>>77353253Don't forget shit like the bowflex and other gainz goblin devices.
>>77353249Well gee, mate. Why didn't I think of that? I'll just get a higher-paying job and tell the wife and kids to eat less.
>>77352900People didn't even understand calories properly until the 2010s. Oh and let's not forget the food pyramid that was on every loaf of bread and taught to us in school as the ultimate way to eat.The Tyrannical reign of fake nattys selling terrible programs.You don't understand the Golden Renaissance era of Lifting and Body Building we currently live in. The Sticky used to actually be an esoteric tome of forbidden knowledge 15 years ago because of how bad shit was. It 2puld have taken frauds like Liver King a decade to get found out and exposed.
>>77353253>all hey said was muh roids muh meathead like it was just genetic.Everything is genetics for Americans. You guys are obsessed with the term.
>>77352732I became type 2 diabetic at 16
>>77353253WTF are you even going on about? There were fucking books on this. You could’ve just gone to the fucking book store dipshit.But even then, it doesn’t even matter that much what you eat in high school as long as you are getting the correct number of calories. Unless you are vegan or something.Coaches were force feeding us fucking peanut butter and jelly sandwiches so we got enough calories when we lifted.
>>77353342>90s era lifting BooksYou'd be better off listening to the jeets on /pol/ telling you about flagstands.
>>77352989The diet soda is probably bad in the long term, mainly for bones and teeth.
>>77352753It's good news for everyone actually. It means those scientists that said it stays in your body your entire life were just retarded.
>>77353342>be 90s kid getting into fitness>all that exists is meme scam infomercial bullshit like tai bo and health rider bullshit equipment that boomers all used to hang clothes on>martial arts were all meme karate schools that taught kata and fuck all else>or you were into sports at school, which in norf uk meant you played football or tracknutrition might as well be magic to normalfags now, imagine before the internet. protein=muscle growth was not known, and who the fuck is gonna think "I wonder of that shit's in a book?"we didn't know what we didn't know to look for a book to fill gaps we didn't know existed.kids were told "eat your veggies!" in the 90s, and that's it.my dinner plate as a kid was 50% carbs, 25% vegetables, 25% meat if I was fucking lucky.
>>77353438You are fucking retards acting like protein was just discovered. Rocky was drinking raw eggs in the 70’s. Protein powders existed in the 90’s and anybody involved in athletics knew about this shit. It’s almost like everybody knew you need protein to build muscles.Hell there was the first creatine craze in the 90’s too.Either you didn’t live back then or you were ignorant.
>>77352732>16>no bills to payyea of course he lives stress free and seems healthy. He is young and has no responsibilities.
>>77353531i was a fucking CHILD back then you absolute mongoloid.my whole world was the retarded normalfags that were my parents and schoolteachers whose idea of fitness was aerobics vhs tapes.>rocky drinking raw eggsyeah retard everyone just saw some shit in a movie and dismissed it as some retarded shit written into a movie>protein powderkek normal fags STILL think that protein powder is a steroid you turbonigger, even if I knew that it existed, was 10yo me supposed to ask my mum to buy me some with my 50 pence a week fucking pocket money?utter utter dipshit
>>77353384Who said that? You know microplastics and PFAS are different things, right?
>>77352752This. 'Feel' will always be a better teller than strict programs you end up hurting yourself with. You can combine both and write down your progress while working out by feel, if you're getting better then continue, if not then rest/eat/change something.
>>77352802Unironically it’s impossible to avoid stressYou’re either working a joke job => financial stressYou’re working a high paying job => job stressYou’re a NEET => existential despair and financial stressLife is stress. You just pick your poison. I recommend job stress, money is cool and it’s way less caustic than financial stress
>>77352806lol here's another one of these losers pretending to be so cool in control of their minds that they dont experience stress.And yet they cant even look a girl in the eye and say hello.
>>77353253Every bookstore in every mall had bodybuilding books in the 90s.And they were probably more useful that the shit we have today because it just told you the basic information and wasnt full of schticks and gimmicks to get you to follow one internet faggot over another.
>>77353531health and physical culture wasn't a public thing like it is now.weight lifting was mainly for gay men who could meet other gay men at the gym. think ymca etc.also, drinking raw eggs is useless for humans; all you get for it is the trots and an empty wallet
>>77353291>food pyramidnot a single person the world ever looked at that gay food pyramid and structured their diet around it, certainly not school kids.
>>77353438>we didn't know what we didn't know to look for a book to fill gaps we didn't know existed.this is literally what every literate person did in the history of the world up until about 2000 when the internet actually became widespread and useful.They just went the fucking library. Libraries had body building books too.
>>77353531I remember those huge bags of Weider Mega Mass 3000. They were like $10 for 20lbs lol.Shit was loaded with sugar tho
>>77353624>normal fags STILL think that protein powder is a steroidnta, but now you're just making up stupid shit to try and make some sort excuse for you being a retard
>>77353664physical fitness was more popular in the 80s than any time since then,Everybody was doing aerobics, going to gyms, (they were called health spas back then) and jogging.You are a know-nothing nitwit
>>77353689>physical fitness was more popular in the 80s than any time since thenyou weren't even alive then. no one cared about fitness or weight training back then.even into the late noughties gym going was a niche thing. and it certainly wasn't near ubiquitous like it is today.
>>77352753ok but how did he do it
>>77353190xhes right you know
>>77353709>you weren't even alive then.what's it like going through life being wrong about everything?
>>77353689the world isn't america you utter imbecile. the uk had practically zero bodybuilding culture back then, bodybuilding was like >>77353664 said, it was for gays.bodybuilding was seen as one of those other worldly things that if you didn't live in an american beach-culture city wasn't a thing.in the uk, in particular the grim northern shithole I live, almost all men are fat alcoholic gambling addicts who "played some football at school" tops.stallone and arnie were just mutants who looked like that because they were americans. the world was a weird place pre-internet, especially as a child.>>77353662did you even read the bit about me being a child in the 90s? what am I gonna do, intuit at 10 that my parents are retards and that this thing I don't even know exists yet (bodybuilding) will have books in my library?nigger I didn't even know that the library went beyond the tintin and choose your own adventure books back then, you're just being an antagonistic retard.
>>77353728>I didn't even know that the library went beyond the tintin and choose your own adventure books back thenlook its not my fault you were too stupid to even walk around the library and see what they had.Every single non-retarded kid did this just out pure curiosity.The first thing every normal kid does when set loose in a library is go look for shit they liked - spaceships, race cars, army tanks etc.And then when you got older you looked for sex and biology books hoping to see a cartoon diagram of a vagina.You're just blaming the world for being a useless dipshit.
>>77352768>>77353714Iirc it was a fairly disciplined sauna protocol. Something with sweating and high temperature.
>>77353818you're so dumb you can't envisage that the world was different in the past than it is now.no one, literally no one, was going to the public library to get books on weightlifting.lifting was a niche pursuit, and, as i said, the preserve of homosexual men.even pro athletes hardly knew anything about sport science. and what they did know was gathered from the 3 guys in the country that knew stuff they'd only tell you from word of mouth.
>>77353818>the first thing every normal kid does when set loose in a library is go look for shit they liked - spaceships, race cars, army tanks etc.yeah dude, and even you aren't retarded enough to write "health and fitness" among those are you.
>>77353818dude I taught myself guitar pre-internet which is no mean feat because music books are pure autistic gatekeeping faggotry designed to make playing guitar look really complicated to aggrandise the gay dyel pseud writer when all I wanted to learn was green day songs then. even green day songbooks sold in musoc shops were written in SHEET MUSIC back then which I was not about to learn for some shit three powerchord bullshit.
>>77353827i looked it up briefly. his claim are three pretty simple things: reverse osmosis water filtration system (i'm assuming one of those under the sink ones), removed all plastic from his kitchen, daily sauna. i know johnson gets meme'd and he is a fucking weirdo but it's cool to see someone actually show the results and has the bona fides for stuff like this.
>>77352732Keep in mind “gaining muscle fast” to normies is just noticing noob gains. Nobody is building an aesthetic muscular physique eating fucking chicken nuggets all day.
>>77352885>there was no internet to know what food was good or how to cook itThere was magazines. And there definitively was bodybuilding magazines in the 80s/90s.
>>77353847I lifted (not seriously) almost 20 years in a protein deficit diet. You don't hear me complain. The aesthetic was DYEL like, at least compared to what we call a muscular man, but i was pretty strong for my weight class.
>>77352732Now try doing all of that in your 20s.
>>77352753Why would he have microplastics in his balls? That's where urine is stored.
