>to the gym

>adphones in
What's wrong with that? I'm doing that all the time.

You're here from this years summer.

Lets see where to start
>Would push press believing this did something other then hinder my progress
>sumo deadlift
>Pullups with 1/3 ROM because i was weak
>Viewing someone do something with dumbbells and always feel the need to say something under by breath such as "Fucking idiots.. wasting time not using a barbell
>See someone using cables and always feel the need to say something under by breath such as "Fucking idiots.. wasting time not using a barbell
>Viewing all the people on cadrio believing you dont need cardio to get get ripped

>sumo deadlift
?

> going heavy on chest flies
> pulling with wrists/arms on back movements
> not stretching
> not eating

You're a newfag that doesn't know the
>drinking water between sets
meme.

It's a meme. Drink your water.

Bro split.
Barbell bench bouncing

>doing a brosplit on the first day

Trusting a fart and shitting myself.
Happened 30 minutes ago actually. Lucky i was in the garage

>No doing core work
>still not doing it

For reals tho familia i dont think i can do a sit-up and its been 9 months

>brosplit
>hitting muscles less than once instead of at least 2 times a week
>not knowing shit about nutrition and never counting macros or eat enough in general
>thinking the gym staff knows Jack shit about lifting

Started out doing arms 3x a week and chest 3x a week. One rest day. Ate like shit. Minimal gains.

>i dont think i can do a sit-up
kek,americans

Signing up for Planet Fitness.
Seriously, I want to change my life for the better because I play WoW for hours on end and don't have a job for the summer but I blindly signed up for PF knowing nothing about cardio or lifting or dieting.

thats not a mistake.thats a step for the better if anything.You can train your body effectively in planet fitness.you just have to be smart and use dumbbells.

So many lost gains. :(

>kek'd

damn you knew how to lift, what happened?

I fell for the SL meme
Not knowing how to brace properly
Didn't do enough volumes on upper body

lifted to much to often to soon with a SHIT diet now i have strech marks, a lesson well learned.

granted genetics have some play in it but now ive cleaned my shit up and not gone all guns blazing ive had 1 or 2 tiny strech marks form instead, i just wish the ones i got years ago would turn fucking white already some have and i dont give a fuck about them but the pruple ones annoy the shit out of me

I fell for the SS and gomad meme

>Bought the cardio is bad for gains meme
>Didn't start a routine for way too long
>Benched over my face
>Bad form on pretty much everything
>Almost no pulling/rowing movements for way too long
>Lifting too heavy on lateral raises, flyes etc
>Not counting/tracking food
>Not understanding diet is more important than lifting for way too long

i didn't stretch so when i squatted i'd always have butt wink. it left me with pretty bad back pain after every set until i fixed it.

>diet is everything
>get those shoulders back. like, right back
>no DOMS isn't a bad thing

I spent almost 2 months working out with a personal trainer that overtrained me each time in a gym that has almost no free weights.

Also almost messed up my back by pulling a muscle while deadlifting due to shit form.

What's wrong with bball shorts?

>no DOMS isn't a bad thing
The only time I had DOMS was after the first 2-3 times I worked out. Is this bad?

>Google first routine
>4 sets bicep curl 12, 12, 10, 10
>donno what set is
>do 12,12,10,10 as one set
>mfw 4x4x12,12,10,10
>16 sets of bicep curls
>45 mins of bicep curls
>1 of 4 bicep exercises.

>get those shoulders back
what do you mean

What's your split? PPL or something where you work same muscles 2x a week?

SL 5x5 same lifts every 4 days except for squatting every 2 days.

I used to ohp in the squat rack also did weighted dips

>ohp anywhere but the squat rack
>doing weighted dips is bad

I cringe so much when thinking about my novice times.
>do SS
>finish squats
>use the EXACT SAME BAR for my OHP
>don't use clips for OHP
>when pt would tell me to use clips, I'd always grudgingly do it and mumble to myself something about "not needing it"

God I feel like hiding just typing this

Youhavetogoback.webm

Retract the scapula.

Sir, I think you mean

The Press

I did SS.

huh

45 mins/exercise * 4 exercises = 3 hours.

Still 5 hours short of a proper arms day.

RIP in pieces trex

hello fellow comedians! :)

i didn't try to get abs

Never forget to chrunch for spot reducing fat around your belly. Real beginners mistake.

> I didn't buy a p90x instead of falling for the starting strength + gomad meme

> believed Veeky Forums when they said pre-workout supplements don't work

Favorite pasta desu

p90x is just cardio / aerobics
what does it have to do with lifting?

>implying

I hate when I always mess up my workout and turn black. What the fuck am I supposed to do with an 8 inch dick?

>fell for p90x meme
>then fell for bodybeast meme
>then fell for SL meme
when will i ever learn?

>following bb.com brosplits for the first 2 years and making shit strength gains
>30 minute post-workout window
>smith machine squats cuz no squat rack
>worked out at a gym that only had 20lbs barbells and thinking they were 45lbs, dem feels when I switched gyms

That lumbar doesn't look entirely okay, does it?

don't worry its the same user that doesn't do push press because it "does nothing but hinder his progress"

Didn't understand how figure eight straps worked for at least 2 or 3 months. Would put the bar through one of the loops and my arm through one of the other loops up my forearm.

Unfortunately this worked pretty well and I continued the habit for a while probably til I saw someone doing it the correct way...

Yes, that program is great for cutting, so if you had muscles underneath the fat then you'll see them once you lose weight
You're pretty much a summerfag if you think that cardio and aerobics will actually help you gain muscle.

are your toes aesthetic now

it's a meme i'm pretty sure that it's fine to wear basketball shorts at the gym

Either a shill, retard or meme-er

>implying pushups and cable shit built that chest

Happened to me when I started my workout. Finished my workout commando

Bend it all the way around so it reaches your unholy hole

Have fun

kek

>thought eating right was eating whole wheat bread and cold cuts

>fell for the "eat every two hours" meme.

>thought planet fitness was a good idea

I don't even count that year as trying to be a fitter me.

>Implying 1 handed planche pushups can't build that chest

>lifting at a community center gym in a ghetto neighborhood

it was like going on one of those scared straight programs for school every other day

Ramadan

>adphones
Who else here /adstation/ for new PR's?

Salam aleikum, brother.

Tell me why this is bad, because I do this.

Literally nothing wrong with it as long as they don't hinder movements. I usually take them out for squats and deadlifts

>>>get those shoulders back. like, right back
What's wrong with that?

Above the knee shorts most days, track shorts on leg days.

Hopefully he means the the sumo form didn't fit the mechanics of his body properly.

Or he might be retarded.

How do you do any leg lifts without a core?

Shit form

gotta have doms everytime you work out buddy. it's not needed to make gains but you should have some when working out hard enough

If you drink too much you can puke. A little is fine. The best thing to do if you feel dehydrated is to sip a little and swish it in your mouth. It's what martial artists due durring fights.

He lifts way too much with his thighs

You have to hydrate yourself throughout the day. Only take little sips to get rid of the dry feeling and then continue hydrating yourself properly after workout.

didn't tip the receptionist

seriously, 93 replies and no one posted this? wtf fit.

My squat is suffering pretty bad. Like it hasn't progressed in ages

nice bro, make sure you pull the slack out of the bar though. you might snap your shit

Not increasing the weight as often as needed

How often should you increase it?

I didn't know any of the stuff in this pic.
