QTDDTOT - Vol 2

>Is nofap a meme?
I've been doing it since Lent started and I've concluded: Yes

Unless you're a Chad who can channel his sexual frustration into going out and picking up girls, you'll just feel horny and irritable all the time, then after the first week it's a weird cycle of asexuality followed by barbaric rape fantasies. Eventually you'll just nut in your sleep and it'll start over.

>in shoulder
collarbone in near join, if it doesn't feel like bone pain I've had this before, in both lateral and anterior delt, it feels different and in fact is a different but I'd give the exact same advice, but basically it's tendon or muscle connecting to tendon.

bodyweight squats will help you build up your base, from there unfortunately you just need to use babby weight and keep upping, once you are able to use a weight that would have been your previous max in terms of raw strength you should have built extra raw strength so it will be higher but not compared to the time it took to get there if you would have been using that higher weight but it's still nice

If my sleep routine goes as the following:
Day 1 - 5h
Day 2 - 9h
Day 3 - 5h
Day 4 - 9h

Is it ok or will my workouts and muscle growth suffer because the lack of sleep one day.

test peaks in average man 7 days after not fapping, close to those seven days for before and after it's elevated but if i remember correctly after that it kinda just stays level

>so to try fap every 8-10 days

not fucked, reverse progress will happen you have to deal with it but 10lbs of bodyweight isn't 10lbs of muscle, not even close, if the time it takes to be sick (2 week smaybe at most) even with a compromised body unless you starve yourself loosing even 4lbs of muscle is hard to fathom

here is some info on weight btw

youtu.be/gROTHHprZWw?t=37

I will in next video explain how loosing weight while sick isn't as bad as it seems

Someone explain cutting to me.

You can't gain muscle on a cut, so is the only reason you work out is to shock the body into losing the fat and not the muscle?

If that's the case then say your legs got too big on your bulk compared to your upper body, is there a point in doubling the the amount of upper body workout volume and halving my lower body volume? If the muscle is already made during the cut, would doing this change my frame to be more upper body dominant?

personally I think 8 hours should be every day, if you can help it just do 8 a day, as far as severly effecting muscle gains directly probably not but atleast for me it effects workout/motivation which can have notable effects on gains, and increase recovery time which can lead to less gym time by choice

Is p90x worth the time and money or is it just a big fuckin meme?

I mean, my previous max was a little over twice my bw, so I don't see myself getting there any time soon. 6 months in a wheel chair and having to relearn how to walk will fuck your gains up pretty bad. Thank you for the advice, guess body weight squats and babby weight box squats it is

Alright, so you wanna know the secret to getting good cake, heh kid?

Alright, well ill tell you my little secret thats been working for me for years now.

The only exercise you need to do is leg press.

And instead of eating a "nutritous meal" after ur workout, ur going to want to get some eggs, flour, sugar and whatever else you need to BAKE A CAKE. Your going to want to eat the whole cake before the day is over. Eating an actual CAKE will transform your butt to being more CAKE!

i hope this helps.

>shock the body
Forget this idea it's a meme, fat is easier to access vs muscle as a form of energy, therefore your body naturally instinct if you aren't working out it to maintain some fat, the reason for this the same that all appliances run on the same number of volts, you cannot run somthing that requires 120volts(your brain and organs) of continuous energy on a 60 volt(your muscles) you need 120volts(your fat) atleast to run the thing or it will shut down, if a humans brain and organs shut down for a matter of minutes you die, so your body likes always having that higher "volt" energy available so it doesn't have to shut down, HOWEVER your body also constantly wants homeostasis and using the muscles near full potential effects this first process of having the proper energy in that your body balances it's need to have fat always on hand with what it thinks is a need to have muscle always on hand, without working out your body wouldn't think it needs to have muscle around and sacrifice it in order to have the more accessible energy(fat) it needs to survive

sry 4 no punctuation

but ur question is complicated, second part completely unrelated, it's aesthetics related, in that case you are purposely loosing gains in your legs so that you looked more balanced, there is no reason to do this unless (probably on gear) you need to enter a comp or obsessively need to have smaller legs in order to gain more balance in body muscle size....

kinda weird question man

Sit-ups, crunches, leg raises hurt my lower back, planks are just boring and seem to strain my shoulders more than my abs. What do?

So, you wanna know the secret to cutting heh kid?

Well, let me tell you. The secret isnt eating less food, the secret is bulimia, thats right you heard me. The fitness industry doesnt want you to know this. But if you actually eat more food, and let the food sit in your stomach for 30 mins, AND THEN puke out all the food. It will burn fat, but youll get the protein you need for muscle growth.

Puking your food out daily isnt unhealthy, there are literally no credible scientific study to show that it is unhealthy.

Hope this helps.

it's a meme unles syou're a beginner, it's no better than doing any other pseudo workout aerobic activity, the difference is that it's coherent, structures and possibly can help motivate people who get motived by seeing others on a video do what they should be doing to loose weight'

you will not get stronger

yeah stay safe man! good luck

sounds like you have a stiff lower back, the secret to a healthy lower back is laying down, sitting and standing, none of these alone is good for a normal healthy lower back, you need to do all 3 to have a good lower back, so try not to do to much of one, also stiff leg deadlifts solved my lower back problems, just literally making the muscle stronger

I suggest the "captains chair" for abs, the trick is bring your legs up as high as they can but when you lower them never let them rest and hang all the way down always keep your abs flexed and tense thru your sets, also abs are made in the kitchen user

10/10

So, you wanna know the secret to getting chisled abs, heh kid?

Well, let me tell you. Doing sit ups, crunches, and all those meme workouts wont do anything. Atleast for a while, ill get back to that later.

What youre gonna want to do, is just stop working your abs. That burn you feel when you do ab workouts, isnt going to build muscle, ITS GOING TO BURN THE MUSCLE. Why else do you think it burns?

So what youre gonna want to do is to stop doing ab workouts altogether. When you notice how strong ur core has become after that, youre gonna want to do A SINGLE CRUNCH, everyday for about 3-4 days.

That way, youll crunch your abs together, forming that 6 pack.

Hope this helps.

not sure who you are but you are doing god's work user, thanks for the help

so if I want a bigger upper body i need to wait until I can bulk again?

Is there anything unhealthy to fapping twice a week? No porn.

No, the bigger the deficit the harder it is to gain muscle so lower it for very slow weight loss, eat to maintain, bulk a little or more if you don't mind fat gain or do steroids and eat anything and get huge, your choice

>Is there anything unhealthy to fapping tw
answered, scroll up user

Am average weight for my height, but my face is fat as fuck(am 18). Am I just genetically cucked? Does the fat ever go away?

No bone pain but like not enough room in shoulder or something it's strange. No pain but like my collarbone hits my neck idfk. Shit will buff out. Thanks

>Less than 12 hrs a day
Enjoy your sleep deficit

genetics plays a part but generally your face as a male looks leaner as you age and you haven't given me anything useful, to people at the same weight can have completely different bodyfats, for all I know you have less muscle and bone and way more fat than the "average weight" person if your weight is really even average...

>loose bf% and your face well get leaner tho

Is there any real difference between these two styles of one arm barbell row?
youtube.com/watch?v=uDK-9olL1as

youtube.com/watch?v=fNpYD5ROZGg

I found the one where the bar is between my legs much easier to set up for, should I just stick with that style?

So you wanna know the truth about fapping, heh kid?

Well, let me tell you. NoFap is a meme, and actually lowers your test, and let me tell you why. There have been scientifix studies done, that show the more sperm you have in ur testicles the less test your body will create. So, if you masturbate regularly, your body is going to need to up the test production to create that sperm.

Hope this helps.

Yes, doing the same weight but farther out is more mechanical advantage and therefore with same weight easier, also farther out you're gripping bigger object so it's more stressful on the forearm/finger muscles generally

Oh boy
Thanks based secret man

Does it get harder to maintain a cut as you get lower bf%. I find I am really starting to get hungry although I am not sure if it's more hunger or since it's finally warm I am active again and just need more cals

So should I just stick with the second one then? I want something else to do besides dumbbell rows. My right lat is noticeable bigger than my left.

Are ankle weights a meme or will they get more out of my sprint workouts?

you are not rock lee, they will fuck up your joints, if you want to run with weight do it on your torso

I'm able to squat every day no problem, with little doms no matter how hard I go. But when I hit hammies/post chain hard, I basically have to skip the gym the next two days because I'm so sore/tired/cns fatigued. Is this normal? I have a bit of posture problems aka apt but it doesn't really bother me as I do corrective exercises most days, not sure if that has anything to do with it

hammies is normal, should go away after couple of months of consistent training, if you are squatting every day I hope you are taking steroids, working out for strength of mass 5 times a week or more is retarded

I know my deficit is to high. Prob been cutting at 1000 cals just my job at work varies so much. Some weeks in barely walking 6000 steps other weeks I average 20k. I planned on adding 250 cals every two weeks and transition into a slow bulk over two months. Good idea or no? I'll still lose weight the next month or so just way slower

>after a couple months of consistent training
>mfw I've been lifting for two years and it still happens
Also I don't squat heavy ever, maybe once a week. I'm just ass burgers and like to squat

it's probably because you squat every day but for some muscle groups they will always be sore just sounds like your muscles are either being hit very hard, youa re after all using them when you squat which you do everyd ay then again once a week heavy if it's not focused on the hammies then going again and hitting them ahrd directly

a high deficit is never a good idea but transition is, stay safe user

For Phark's Greyskull LP can I add arm work and neck work? What days should I add it to?

also since you have no idea how much cal you expend on a weekly basis you have no idea what your deficit really is from week to week so from your description it sounds like overall it's usually to much

Thx brah just wanted to make sure it wasn't too out of the ordinary.
I work at a therapy clinic and they think I'm retarded for lifting heavy weights at all and couldn't answer my questions

Ban test

It has been. Been losing between 5 and 8 lbs a month. Down to 170 from 205 can see 4 abs finally. I believe another 5 or 10 lbs would really tighten it up. I'm just really ready to start making progress again. All my lifts have been stalled. Drives me nuts

Doing 5x5 for curls is retarded or I can also train strenght for biceps that way?

thats fine just make sure you are doing them right, keep your elbow behind your shoulder and don't move your elbow from the same spot during the reps

How many plates an a regular trap bar hold?

I've got two 45lb bumper plates that I always use and 10 45lb plates, would they all fit?

probably, im sure the regular ones would fit 5 on each side, after that rubber band or duck tape em if they come off a bit on the end man

My deadlifts keep stalling when i get over 300 lbs cause my form goes to shit.

Any tips for keeping my form?

Can i train shoulders more than once a week?
I really want them to grow.
Will it help them get bigger faster if i train them twice instead of just once a week?

Thanks
btw im a girl if that makes a difference

My routine-

On Form-

yes twice a week is fine if you don't feel like once is enough, just try to space them out 3-4 days not 1-2

Newfag here:

What are the differences between bumper plates and varying-diameter "olympic" plates (pic related)? Which type would be better for home workout equipment?

Also, why do bumper plate sets only come with a pair of 10, 15, 25,35, and 45lb plates? Without 5lb plates, it seems impossible to make certain weights, such as 130lbs or 220lbs.

One is bigger than the other
What can i do?
I have a barbell,but no bench

Bumbers don't do damage to your floor

thank you! :)
also i really hate training chest.
Do i really need to train chest as a girl?
Can i drop it out of my routine and just replace with shoulders or something?

Should I buy a heavy bag and gloves and learn to box/kickbox online? I know I won't be able to spar with anyone and that sucks but there are no legit boxing/kickboxing gyms in my area.
>already grapple
>want to practice striking because I have barely any experience in the matter

just grow as much as they cant and bench with good form and that's about all you can do, also the bigger they get the less the difference looks

"bumper plates" are wider and usually used for either oly lifts where they will inevitably be tossed to the floor from above your head, however if you are training on a concrete floor metal plates will sooner or later likely damage it, and can infact get damaged and break(not likely but possible), you can use rubber mats to prevent this but it's very possible, especially as your working set weight increases that it can still damage your floor, so bumper plates are always better if you are care about this and bumper plates should always be used for oly lifts, so if you don't care about your floor and dont play on doing oly lifts and always have some safety measure for when you squat and OHP so you don't nuke your floor and your metal weights if you have to abort then get whatever you want.

since the benefit of bumper plates is to stop your weights or surface you lift on for breaking once you have a bumper that is maximum diameter on the bar since metal weights scale down in diameter you are safe to put whatever other weight on it as long is its diameter is less than the bumper plate and the plate can support the weight (don't put a thin 25lb or 10lbs bumper plate on the bar then think it's okey to load up 5 35 metal ones on each side)

and also they do make 5lb bumpers

I hate premature ejaculation.

I wish I could get some kind of surgery to never orgasm again so I could perpetually edge and feel good without orgasming and losing all of my energy.

does such a thing even exist?

get on trenbolone and don't use a dopamine agonist

the high prolactin will make it super hard to cum

side effects may include puffy/leaky nipples

Your breasts are chunks of mass encased in sacks of skin, skin tightens over time but the type of mass in your "sack" can make it look loose or tight, especially if you have recently lost or gained weight it varies, since many women are above their target bf% for a while before they train loosing weight can result in saggy titties, in general skin responds to stress beneath it, if there is to much pressure under it it stretched, when mass under it decreases you get "saggy" skin at least for a while, but skin responds to fat and muscle differently, imagine a balloon inside of a bigger balloon, inside the small balloon is muscle, in the middle of the 2 balloons in fat, fat isn't as rigid as muscle, especially the muscle in your body which is taunt and being pulled between two joints, so the fat sags much more, the bigger the fat to muscle ratio the more the sag and the more peak pressure is placed farther down where it collects, if the outside of the balloon is made of skin(disturbing right) this increase in pressure at these points due to the properties of fat force it to make more skin at pressure points and make it look "saggy", now imagine the fat is a thin layer but instead the muscle increases,the outside layer must increase in size since mass inside does, but it doesn't have these diffrent points of pressure that cause it to need increased tensile strength at "bad" places, muscle is denser and it is taunt and won't sag, so less skin is created where you don't want it and there is less sag, so increasing your chest muscles in adds more "good" mass within your chest sacks making skin tighter with less "bad" skin forming vs adding fat

>tl:dr it can literally make your tits perkier, especially if you plan on loosing weight, were previously fat, or just got saggy tits

wear a condom?

take Viagra and jerk off right before sex so forced erect penis?

Porno actors use drugs and inject shit into their dick look into porn if my suggestions don't help

Sure if you want but training without an opponent will only get you so far, imagine a bodybuilder trying to train without only calisthenics, maybe someone is natural genius and physically gifted and can do something really impressive that way but for most people it's terrible if you want to actually be good, obv. it won't hurt to do something vs nothing if you ever find yourself in a fight

Are abs before 15 May realistic? 6'1 at 160lbs. If not, what should I do to make them magically appear as soon as possible? Turned out to be a bad idea to start bulking before the summer

if you are comfortable taking dangerous illegal compounds and know what you are doing yes, you can still get pretty far with only kind of dangerous compounds... I would NEVER RECOMMEND anyone to take anything illegal and dangerous AND YOU SHOULDN'T EVER DO THAT, but if I looked like pic related and wanted to safely get abs in 60-75 days, I would acquire clenbuterol(and research how to not damage your organs, tapering, 2wk on/aff etc) and t3 ASAP and immediately start a ketogenic diet at a ~750kcal deficit

Do a shit ton of crunches
Aim for 100
Do planks and pushups
Squat
Get enough protein

guys how the fuck do you improve the mind-muscle connection? i can kind of flex my left pec but not the right. How do i get better at this so i can really squeeze my chest exercises?

youtube.com/watch?v=m8wZNGL4iA4

what is this supposed to help me with lol?

I already do controlled negatives and focus on squeezing/contracting on every exercise but my chest and lats im having problems getting a good squeeze

Drink cement.

>controlled negatives

Don't know where you pulled that out from, I cannot help you user

jk, you obv need to work on your anterior and posterior delts they are what is ending up limiting your lifts instead of chest and lats, so isolation delt work for all 3 heads fool

General consensus about Ibutamoren (MK-677) for a 16 year old? I'm only 5'8". I will *not* be a Manley, not if I can prevent it.

Thanks but no thanks. I don't have that much wiener to spare

>Ibutamoren
don't waste your money

front delts could use a little work maybe, but i hit rear delts and traps like a mother fucker twice a week...

are ab isolation exercises really just a meme

Just bought this...can i make it with only 180 lbs?

meme for definition

okey for strength and size

apparently you don't because i'm the fucking back lord, and this isn't even my final form

if you can make it with 700lbs u can make it with 180lbs, if u cant u cant

It'll probably take you a while to bench 180lb. If you deadlift or squat (and you should do both) though, 180lb is not enough.

Why?

take my advice or leave it, i'm not explaining to you why something doesn't work, it just doesn't fucking work

I am 173cm (I think 5'8?) and 66kg,145 pounds.
I have very small (almost no) boobs
If anything the more I've noticed that working out has just made my boobs smaller (prob because lost a bit of weight)

Thanks for the explanation, I will keep training chest to make sure i am perky

Is doing db bench, incline db bench and chest flies and pushups enough for chest?

I just hate training chest because I never feel like I'm working out as hard and heavy as I would for legs or back or something

Do chest exercises build any other muscles apart from biceps i think?

Calories are the only thing that matters for weight loss right?

lol no

i am going to the doctors friday cause i slept with a slut and got chlamydia. the lady said to bring any protein and supps i take. do i really need to?

10/10

Cool, do I have to ask you to elaborate then?

yes that's enough

builds triceps, anterior(front) delts and forearms, since ur girl it can help your arms look "toned"

I am tall guy and I only care about ass, there is hope for u promise qt

no, calories in/out are the only thing that matter

besides drugs, those matter too, unless you aren't on them

yes, the meds your doctor will give you he want to make sure no bad interaction, sry ur dick got burned, stop fucking hookers

ok 1 more :')

if your gf was working out and trying to improve her body, what would you do as her bf to motivate her?

Would you like comment on her progress, help her out at the gym, or not really say anything at all?

i realise this might belong on /adv/ but not a lot of people there lift
