I just started taking Pure Monohydrat Creatine, and according to Google, I am supposed to take 5 gram pre- and post workout, is this true?

If you read the sticky, you would've known that you take 5 grams at any point in the day, once.

is a slow releasing Melatonin supposed to make you stay asleep?
Because i took some regular 5mg of melatonin last night and woke up 3 hours into my sleep.

whats a good Cheat meal that has a good amount of protons in it, that isn't chicken?

1.Does intense rower machine count as muscle growth excercise or just plain warm up cardio? (pic related)
2. When gaining weight what % goes to muscle and what to fat ? Not expecting an exact answer obviously.
3.Is just counting calories and focusing on gaining as much protein as u can a clean bulk or a bad plan?
4. Can intense work out (ex. I have 1 day for chest, 6 excercises while most people have 4) be counterproductive for creating muscle if eating efficiently?

Do all compression shorts help with sweating?

Rowing is cardio unless you are really really weak.
You can gain ~0.5lbs of muscle a week considering good genes and training environment
Count calories, and hit your macros
The most important thing is training volume. DOn't over complicate your routine especially if you are as new are you are sounding in your post. Do a beginner program it doesn't really matter which.

Skelly here.

I'm having trouble doing adequate numbers of pushups because of my skinny wrist joints. I tire my joints faster than my muscles.

What's the best "joint support" accessory I should get? Just lurking have given me lots of contradictory advice.

Thank you.

>taking memeatonin
Enjoy your cancer

Im ~ 10 months in, but never decided to give attention to the diet stuff until now.
As for Question NO 1. Im doing very intense rower electromagnetic , 2,5-3km / 10 minutes.
Question NO 4. My programm for the first 6 months consisted of like 4 excercises of chest with 3 biceps. Then it changed to 6-7 chest solo on 1 day. Im not as newb as I sound,
Thanks for your good and legit answers.

5'11, 163lbs with ~15% BF due to poor bulking and a gut that's larger than it actually seems (soda, bad posture, etc.)

my tdee is 2800 calories, i want to drop my bf% to around 10/11 before i lean bulk up to where i feel comfortable. should i aim for 2300 calories every day until I drop my stomach/BF? or is it less

i've read the sticky but it conflicts with some info out there so i figure'd i'd ask you guys

Diet is solid but I hate almost all exercise, and I'm not disciplined enough to force myself. The only exercise I enjoy is running, pushups and pullups.
Can I get an alright body just doing variations of these?

Wrist wraps

Rowing for 10 minutes is cardio.

How much do you bench press? what is your height and weight?

Not tight gloves?

>gloves
kill urself asap

You don't need wrist wraps. You need to man up.

Fresh meme.

What's the best way to incorporate power cleans into the greyskull routine?
t. Dyel

They are a hamstring and back movement, similar to deadlifts but obviously with more upper back. So do em on deadlift day

Is there some sort of Veeky Forums approved website where I can buy cheap bulk protein? Grocery store prices are fucking killing me

People on here are always shilling ON whey, but that seems to come out to about the same price as I already pay. I end up spending about 60 a month on protein

yeah but it will take a while
Yup. Solid plan

The SS book tells to do Power Cleans in the Bench press day, but is there any problem in doing it in the OHP day?.

Body fat estimate? 6 foot 220 been lifting for 4 months (lost 55 pounds)
Bench 295
Squat 405
Dead lift 495
Power clean 225

Bump

fuck dude you are gonna be ripped when you're cut

Really? That means a lot any idea how much I would still have to lose? Or should I focus on building more muscle ?

Would shaving my chest hair reduce the sweat stain I get on my chest when working out?

Yea but it wouldn't help much.

I'm a noob starting with StrongLifts and currently doing 110kg deadlifts for 5 reps. Grip is becoming a real problem. Do I get straps or lower the weight? My hands are kind of small for hook grip.

hi, do you think i should bulk or cut ? I dont have lots of fat but my muscle are pretty tiny too so i can't figure out what the ratio is...
pic related its me

You should cut. Your muscles will look more toned if you lose 10 pounds and you'll be shredded. Focus on high rep low weight curls

Improve your grip, straps lead down to a sorry life of forearms. I'd only use them for new pr's

The bar rolls out of my fingers towards the top of the rep (not so much forearm I think?). Wrist curls? What one exercise?

obvious fucking troll.please bulk and lift high weight low rep

Please eat.

Is it okay to skip out on my whey for the day if I meet my protein with food only and meet my calories goal?

Been stalling on pretty much all of my lifts. Haven't been eating enough and done too many arbitrary assistance movements. I've started eating more today and want to get stronger.

So I'd figured I might start adding assistance excercises with a plan. One for each compound. Is it better to them on the same day or not?

My stats are:
DL: 122,5 kg 1*5
Squat: 87,5kg 3*5 (i know...)
Incline Bench: 67,5 kg 3*5
OHP: 45 kg 3*5
Chin-Ups: 12

BW 78 kg, 1,81 m

How does this sound?

A

OHP 3*5
Squat 3*5 (Monday and Friday)
Pull-Ups 3*F
Seated DB Shoulder Press 3*8
Paused Squats 3*8 (like Squats)
DB Row 3*8

B

Incline Bench 3*5 (My PT said I shouldn't flat bench because I lack thoracic mobility…)
Deadlift 1*5 (Wendesday)
Chin-Ups 3*F
DB Bench
Deadlift accessory (?)
DB Incline Curls 3*8

I need an idea for a good deadlift accessory. And where do I add ab excercises? Throw something else out?

Hey Veeky Forums. I have been overweight my whole life (never obese though). I am 5'7 (male) and 20 years old. A few months ago I weighed around 167 lbs, and now I weigh around 151 lbs. This is big progress for me. Most online calculators seem to agree that I need to lose 6-8 lbs more to get into my ideal weight. However, looking down, my stomach and manboobs both still seem pretty big, although they are smaller than before. Will I really lose my stomach by losing another 6-8 lbs, or do I need to lose more still?

Will doing calisthenics help me get rid of my stomach fat?

Bump

Is meditation a meme?
Also can someone please post the starting sit image?

lol cross eyed tits.

A lot of stuff about meditation is memery and woo-woo bullshit, but there are plenty of proven benefits that don't have to do with aligning your chakras or any of that kind of crap.

...

That's what I've been told, though it doesn't work for me. Maybe you'll have better luck.

...

Wrist rolls are good make sure to do both overhand and underhand

Since I posted this question I've been looking around, but I don't know much about whey protein.

Does this seem like a good option, or am I going to lose my gains if I switch to this?

How the fuck do we get summer /r9k/ out of here?

>only bar no pl8s
>not gonna make it

we start with you first

I use it to fall asleep.
I used to be up for an extra hour or two each night just thinking about random things that popped into my head, but I started focusing on my breathing and stopping any random thoughts and now I fall asleep within ten minutes.

It can also help to train focus if you sit down and do it for 10-20 minutes.

how do i get stronger, i go to the gym every other day and each time i go im just getting weaker and weaker. For some reason i can barely curl 15 pound dumbells now. should i take longer off days. what do i do

When I use the butterfly machine the muscles of my neck hurt, right up to the base of the skull. I doubt there's form needed for the exercise, but maybe I'm doing something wrong? inb4 switch exercises.

Turkey.

>a good amount of protons
Fatty photosynthesis :^)

Can someone please confirm that I'm not fucking up, please?

Should i bother with trying to get gains when i keep getting up in the middle of the night having my sleep interrupted? I feel like i'm not gonna make gains.

What type of lifting routine would compliment rock climbing and jiu jitsu? I just joined a climbing gym that has both.

It seems to me that climbing and jiu jitsu will be all biceps, back, and core.

Would bench, squats, and deadlifts be all else I need to do?

I'm epileptic and I'm looking to get more Veeky Forums™

To be honest, I'm a little scared to go to the gym due to this. I don't have the Harlem shake seizures, but epilepsy is still a problem for me. Would it be best for me to stick to using machines? What would you Veeky Forumsizens recommend? Pls no bully

If I'm weightlifting 3 times a week, should I put light or moderate exercise on the sticky's calculator?

fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.html

Ask your doctor, if he tells you no do body weight excersies or really light weights. You don't wanna sperg out and snap your neck squatting 1 plate

perfect body potential once you lose body fat%, fuck u

are all skellies this fucking stupid? eat a sandwich jfc

Do I have gyno, want to make sure it's worth even starting to get Veeky Forums, yeah I know I'm a fat fuck right now

Hard to tell without feeling the inside of the breast. Do you feel an enlarged breast tissue underneath the fat? Or is it all just fat? Have you been thinner before, can you compare before/after being fat?
Even if gyno it's level 1 and once you build your chest muscles shouldn't be very noticeable. Compared to what I have (level 3-4) I would barely notice yours through a shirt if you have some muscle on.

There is some fat and then it feels hard

Here is a front pic if it helps at all

What kind of shorts should I wear to the gym?

bump

Basketball

Yes

Is it okay to nap before going to the gym?

My routine right now is mostly to get myself looking like a trimmed twink Final Fantasy character.

I'm 6' and 150 lbs. When I flex my abs and pinch the fat on top, there's about an inch between my ab and the top of my skin. What I am doing is cardio 4x a week, 45 minutes each time, on M Tu Th F. The treadmill I have says I burn 502 calories each time.

Then, once I finish my cardio, I do ab exercises on Monday and Thursday (5 sets of 20 crunches, followed by 5 sets of 10 lower leg lifts). On Tuesday and Friday I do 3 sets of push-ups, each until failure (I get to about 40 total), and bicep curls with a dumbbell.

I'm also doing a paleo diet to trim the fat.

Should I scale back my cardio?

You might have very little going on. I would suggest getting Veeky Forums regardless, I don't really know what you fear / hope to accomplish. Breast tissue and fat distribution don't change on their own. Include chest in your routine and have fun.

Cut for now, I'd aim for about 185-190. See how you do from there. Your probably 22-26%

Should I be using barbell clips? People are looking at me funny while I am racking.

It's not a meme dude. It's real I get a boner in 5 minutes after taking it.

No meditation increases gray matter and the efficiency of neural connections in parts of the brain. Like proven facts, use google. Magic mushrooms and real LSD are good to if you like the idea of meditation

You need to see a chiropractor. It sounds like you have forward head posture. Look up exercises for your jaw and neck muscles. Stretching helps, look in how to do it the right way. You can't do damage from moving your head on its on. Don't crack it or anything like that with your hands.

Ask both of your instructors. For jiu jitsu planks are a must, for rock climbing hanging leg raises and farmers carries are a must.

Weird. I just get tired from melatonin. The testosterone comes from your sleep. If you wake up with an erection you aren't getting good sleep.

When I ascend during squats, I use my left leg to push before the other one. This causes a lot of back pain. How do I fix this? Is it a common mistake?

I don't for warmup, but I use them on my main lifts. Really the only reason I have them on is I don't like having the plates slide.

Say I hit my Fat and Protein macros for the day, does it matter at all what my carbs are?

Are carbs guaranteed to make you look bloated? can you consume carbs without said effect?

I thought we were talking about Viagra.a

are you a ketobaby?

Nah

practice your form every time you go to the gym, even when its not squat day. I usually do a few sets without a bar, then with the bar, then warmup.
Also make sure you are distributing your weight evenly, ie your body is in symmetry

Anyone?

Oh fit i'm fucking stupid, i tried a pull up with my sister on my back and my shoulders literally cried in pain during the try, i didn't even did a rep anyway, but i got some movement with her in my back and i pulled hard

what is the chance that i fucked something up? now my left shoulder feels dull, and i have a workout two days from now, what should i look for to avoid a major injury because of this stupid shit i did now?

On a scale of 1-10, how laughable are my starting points? I just started weight lifting for pretty much the first time ever.

>about to turn 23
>5'11
>skinny dyel entire life
>didnt break 150lbs until last week

My bench, overhead press, and barbell row is really discouraging. My upper body strength is just pathetic.

Isn't that just off brand melatonin?

Skelly here,

Before looking at my diet, I was eating at a deficit of at least 500 calories while weight lifting. I had been on that diet and routine for almost six months but I always had just enough abdominal fat to cover my abs.

How am I supposed to get rid of that small about of fat? It's barely enough to pinch but it's still there

anyone?

Was out with friends and some qt's and didn't want to be a faggot so I ate out all they with them. Now im 800cal over TDEE and still only got like 50g protein. Should I just down some cottage cheese or something and overeat by like 1200cal or just leave it?

Is it possible to do SL 5x5 two days in a row? So ABxABxABx? Or is that too much strain. I've been doing it for awhile and I've noticed no side effects, although most of my lifts are only in the 120 range

Long cardio mixed up with full body cardio routines burn fat. Creatine and planks are your friend.

Or am I just ruining my gains by not giving my shit enough time to rest?

Read the sticky. Seriously. Then go on /misc/ bodybuilding. Give yourself a day between lifts. If your thin, do HIIT's once a week.
