How bad are eggs for you relaly

I'm 22 and exercise regularly. Are 2 eggs a day bad for me?

Is your ass touching the floor almost ? are you stretching out your hip flexers before you do the exercise? If it's a struggle, lower the weight, perfect the form, and try again. I dont want to hear no "okay" form. I want that ass on the ground.

go to they gym
if you can work out without it hurting, keep at it
if it hurts, try another exercise until you find something that doesnt strain it

appreciate the advice bro, i'll head out in 15 then.

they're fine.

Alright, i got a question

Ive been lifting for awhile now and from what i hear on this site(exclusively actually) girls will flirt with you if youre fit enough
Anyone got any tips on where exactly this occurs or what type of fit you need to be?

Im standing at 6'1' and 195lbs with a bf of around 14% but so far there has been no flirting since i started lifting more seriously
Routine is a 5 day split (Chest, back, arms, shoulders/abs and legs)

Am i doing something wrong?

i'd flirt with you sexy

I've always squatted ATG. Never stretch my hip flexers, how do you stretch them? I usually do 2x10 with an empty bar as a warm-up.

>picking up girls is as simple as X,Y and Z

Dude... come on, you should know better.

The thing about being fit is that it gives you confidence, which is what girls are really attracted to. That's not to say they aren't attracted to fit bodies, but sexual attraction isn't that simple.

Good source of protein and tasty as fuck with about a hundred and one ways to cook the fuckers.

No no, i know its not easy picking them up but what i want is just the feeling of them flirting with me
You know the feeling when a girl starts playing with her hair and smiling at you and such, thats the feeling i want because i like it

And I'm saying it's not as easy as just being yolked.

Got told I smell. Have good hygiene. What can I do? Is it just testosterone that people can't handle? I'm fucking depressed and ashamed. Why did nobody tell me sooner?

How accurate is this image?

So im fucked basically?
I am confident, i got no idea on how to be more confident and thats netted me shit all so far
I mean ive fucked a chick because she liked my body but confidence hasnt given me anything at all except it helps you not give a fuck about the outcome which is nice
I just want that sweet, sweet feeling of attraction...its better than any drug

>how do you stretch them?
Pic related, and if that gets too easy for you, put your foot on something to elevate it more and keep pressing, you'll feel it in your upper thigh. I do this stretch before I squat every time. How is your squat form not perfect if you're ATG? That and keeping your back straight are the most important things. Do you notice that when you squat that your quads are too pained to go to the gym the next gym day? Sometimes it's better if your squats are too hard on your muscles, to drop the weight and keep adding 5 lbs every day. My max squat is 2 1/2 pl8s so I must be doing something right.

Do squats

Cutting.

should i bulk or cut? i weight 71 kg and my height is 5'8, i fucked it up a little bit long ago eating like a pig and now i don't know if i'm too fat to make a clean bulk.

also sorry for the shitty pic

>I just want that sweet, sweet feeling of attraction...its better than any drug

You sound like a faggot.

cut to 14% bf and then bulk. I cant see very well from the picture but you look a little scrawny, you go to the gym right?

Yeah, I usually have some soreness in my quads. Also, I was wondering, could my shoes be the cause? They dont feel really comfartable when squatting, almost as if my left foot is slipping to the right.
Will look into that stretch, ty

What are people's experience on forearms being a slow growing or fast growing muscle?

Trying to give forearms some extra love this month and want to set a good timeline for results.

You should really try to avoid snacks then. Black coffee is an excellent appetite suppressant. If you must eat between meals, stick to fibrosis (green) veggies.

Fibrous* fml

yes but not too often, i have been exercising a little less than a year but in the start i only did cardio and ended being a skeleton, that is the other reason why i wanted to bulk now, then you think i have too much bf right now?

Unless you plan on going to the gym consistently, getting onto a program and start lifting weights, i'd advise you to stay away from bulking so you don't end up fat. I can't see really well from your photo but It's on the lower side of the spectrum, but you can go get a measurement tape and get a rough estimate of your bf% from something like

active.com/fitness/calculators/bodyfat

If you want to get bigger, and are willing to go to the gym like 3 times a week for an hour, i'd recommend doing a program like stronglifts 5x5. I'd highly recommend it.

how do i get to 20+ pullups

every single time i just do 3xf ~10-12 (i'm on a 3way split)
should i start doing them every workout?

i'm in the proccess of activating (kek) my pumpkin seeds. how much nutritional value will I increase in them by this? there's surprisingly little information on this, which leads me to suspect that I mightve been fooled

How much training is overtraining and will doing tons of outdoor activities hurt my gains? Because it's summer and I want to be outside doing stuff because it's what I love but I'm worried it'll interfere with my primary hobby ie lifting.

>Doing Texas Method M/W/F
>Swimming lengths across the local pond and/or running every day with a friend for half an hour to an hour
>Going to rock climbing gym T/R/S
>Going hiking whenever it feels convenient
>Working for a moving company on the side
>Using Sunday as a total rest day, no physical activity barring household chores or if I'm offered a moving shift because the money is too good to pass up

I feel great and I don't have any nervous energy that usually fuels my nervous ticks but I'm afraid I'm going to fuck up my gains by not resting enough.

How much does sleep deprivation fuck with gains?

Does Ritalin effect gains? Besides cutting

Picking up girls isn't about gains.
It's about looking good, buy more importantly it's about having fun, people want to do fun things. If you know how to have fun then you can have bedroom fun.

And if that doesn't help. Who cares you're having fun in their faces and they ain't gonna stop you.

Im make my own diet in 1500 cal per day is that good? i have 'bout 110lb (50kg) overweight what kind of excersice at home can i do to help?

I only recently started lifting and found out that I physically can't keep my heels on the ground when I try to squat.
It's so bad that I can't even get down far enough to deadlift in proper form.
Was anyone else like this, and are there any good exercises to help fix this?

Does soy milk really have estrogen in it?

Is there actually no bodybuilding general thread?

Anyway, I'm reading practical programming for strength training by Mark Rippetoe and Andy Baker right now. I'm about 1/3 through, but it seems to only address training in the context of sports, while I'm looking for training in the context of aesthetics. Any good reads that I can find? I still plan on finishing the book, though, hopefully this week.

Why do people say cardio kills gains?

walking 30 minutes a day total. 15 in the morning and 15 in the evening is good. walk for half the time away from your house, then turn around and walk back.

How do I train for muscle ups? Wide grip pullups are still pretty difficult for me, can barely do one.

How do I naturally Increase my testosterone levels?

No fap m80

Eggs aren't bad for you, the cholesterol thing is a meme as most cholesterol that will cause problems for you is produced by the body and cholesterol problems usually comes down to obesity.

Thanks

where can i buy drugs, like cialis or viagra?

Try lowbar as you need less forward ankle mobility

If you have access to one, use that pull-up/dip machine that counters some of your bodyweight. That should help you get to a better level with your WG pull-up.

You're burning more energy, so you'll likely have less energy in the gym unless you increase your intake. Also, specifically doing leg workouts, the soreness from your running will seriously inhibit your squatting performance, and vice versa. I ran XC/track and did powerlifting at the same time, so I have some experience with that. If anything, I think it's a lot easier to add lifting to your running than adding running to your lifting, from my experience. I'm sure there are a few other reasons "RUNNING KILLZ GAINZ".

If you want to run to increase your cardio capacity or burn more calories, consider calisthenics, circuit training, or maybe swimming.

Without knowing more about you, it means nothing to hear that you're eating 1500 Calories/day, there are so many variables. Maybe you're still eating too much, maybe it's dangerously low for you. Just try to find a good, healthy rate of weight loss, and add or subtract calories from your diet until you're around that rate.

My bicep gets visually smaller the more I flex my arm, there is a big bulge just above my elbow when my arm is extended straight out but as I bend my elbow it migrates up and almost disappears at 45deg. Is this due to shitty genetics or what? I don't curl, only hit them on compounds - mostly chins and rows.

Starting a bulk soon.. Do i eat at surplus everyday or only on lifting days and maintenance on rest days?

Every day. Rest days are when gains actually happen.

Thanks brah

hey Veeky Forums I just accidentally 10 whole eggs. is this dangerous?

I live in Florida and the heat and humidity is fucking ridiculous. I'm shipping out for the military in a couple of months and I need to stay up on my running but holy fuck it's hot. I try to run in the mornings but sometimes work schedules/life fucks that up and I gotta do it in the afternoon.

Is jump roping comparable enough to running that I'll not lose my conditioning if I replace running with it once or twice a week, cause I can do that indoors at home?

waxed my chest and now it looks kind of like pic related. no white heads yet after 12h. maybe you have some advice. if not I'm just going to drown myself in antibiotic powder and go cry myself to sleep.

My doctor said 80 lbs of weight loss is unrealistic.
Is he right?

Is there a guide to taking HMB and Creatine somewhere? I'm a fairly new lifter (

You're gonna have to give more info then that.

that happens the first 1 or 2 times. after that it'll never happen again. get some bikini cream that will help

Reposting the same question from the other qtddtot thread.
If I am on a cut while doing SS will I be able to continue adding weight to my lifts or at least maintain the current weight of the lifts?

what is a good boxing cardio program?

Perhaps, it just depends on where you're at in your lifting career and how fast you're cutting. The more you eat and the more weight you put on, the easier it will be for you to move your lifts up in weight, and the same logic applies when you're dropping weight. Also, the longer you've been lifting, the harder it is to progress in your lifts as you approach your peak physical condition.

Just try to move up when you can, do your best, and don't worry if you don't go up in lifts or even go down. You should really only be worried if you're cutting weight too quickly.

>cutting
>snacks
choose 1 user, the point of cutting is to eat less

Well, yeah, but as long as you're hitting your macros and staying under your limit, you're a-ok. I'd suggest popcorn, and the shit that's not buttered to hell.

jump rope and run

no.

ss is a bulking and progressing program. if you cut bodyweight or maintain the weights you're using, you're not doing the program.

too much volume and too fast progression to cut.

Anyone here with scoliosis?

I want to do proper dealfits and work on my flies but worried my scoliosis will get worse. Can't fix it as its genetic, so just asking in general, did it get much worse for someone?

pls respond

how much do you weigh? what's your weight and height? are you a male or female? we need more info you stupid fucking mongoloid

overtraining is something that happens after months of too mucn work. you lose weight and strength and your cool even though you're doing everything right otherwise.

not something you need to worry about as a noob.

how long/how many carrots do I need to eat before I get an aesthetic skin tone?

What this user said If you're fat and you're beginning with SS, then cutting is acceptable, you'll progress a bit slower.

At the pharmacy with a prescription.

Brink's Bodybuilding Revealed

could you get an aesthetic body with Stronglifts 5x5?

Can I still make strength gains if I lift only twice a week? I know 3 is ideal, but I absolutely cannot work it into my schedule.

Not likely but it would be very hard to get an aesthetic body without doing a beginner's strength routine at least once

depending on your definition of aesthetic; not zyzz-tier but decent

Ive been incorporating a few ab exercises and i can see some visible development. How can I,if i can at all, lose fat in the red area and build muscle in green? Is it fat in the red area?

Will they just even out if i keep at it?

Does this look like a good diet plan? What would you think this diet would help? What would it hurt?

How will Sodium effect my cut? I often hear "sodium doesn't count" when dieting is that true?

How accurate is the TDEE calculator linked in the sticky? I'm going for my first cut and the TDEE it's giving me seems high, even when lowering the activity level to working out 1-3 times a week (currently lifting 3 days and cardio 3 days for a total of 6).

Current stats: 6" 202lbs
TDEE ~ 2800 cal (from the sticky)
Limiting cal to 2300 a day to cut but usually come in 100-200 cal lower than that.

How do I get water to stay inside my body a little while longer?

Every time I drink a whole bunch of water, I end up taking a racehorse-tier piss just minutes later.

It's also pretty hot where I live, so I'm also probably losing water through sweat/evaporation.

As a result, my shits are extremely dry. It takes me 10+ minutes to push out a small pile of pebble-like turds.

I would gladly drink more water, but once again, I'm pissing out most of it within hours, or it's evaporating out of me.

How do I keep enough water to moisten my extremely dry shits?

Ok guys i gained about 4 lbs in 1 week after i ended my cut and started "free eating" sithout watching my calories or anything, but afterwards i had trouble gaining 1lbs in 2 weeks, no matter how hard i bulk. So my conclusion is bulk hard till i next summer gets closer, but what are these 4lbs i gained instantly after my cut, and do i need to calculate them in anywherw

Why is my body rejecting food? I eat at a 1000 calorie deficit, and get 80-100 ounces of water a day, but if I try to eat a meal larger than about the size of my fist, my body says no.

Fwb told me she has genital warts, have been raw dogging her for the last month. I don't have any symptoms (yet) but am going to the clinic this week.

How fucked am I? Does this shit go away? Do I have to tell every future sexual partner from now on? At least it ain't herpes...

I'm genuinely worried about my test levels. I got my levels checked a year ago and I was right above the 300 mark which is lower end of normal. Tired, depressed, and my balls aren't as big as they used to. Help Bros. Should I retest with a different doctor? I'd feel like he would think I'm making it up just to get trt for gains

>I'd feel like he would think I'm making it up
I actually know these thoughts when it comes to docs, but they are usually nice people. JUst be honest and yourself

About the test, maybe you're doing something fundamentally wrong

Been on keto for a few days, feeling good, but my piss smells strong AF. I drink about a gallon of water a day, so has anyone experienced this side effect or is it something else?

>Struggle with tons of acne since age 14 or 15.
>Try many different skin creams, washes, etc.

>One time, have a couple days off and get wasted on cabernet sauvignon.
>Wake up the next day with beautiful, glowing skin and no acne.
>Every time I get drunk with non-sweet red wine, my skin looks amazing.

What gives? Is wine a miracle cure for acne? Have I been wasting my time and money buying and using a metric fuckton of skin care products, when all I had to do was drink tons of wine?
