What do you think the best song ever recorded is?

Post beautiful music that MAKES YOU CRY (sadness or joy)

>tfw so many people have serious knee issues in their fifties despite never stressing them much
>we fuck them up with heavy squats and expect them to be fine in 30 years

I think we are being naive lads

But we also can't change it :(
>tfw rip is a walking grave yard

I'll probably kill myself before that's an issue Kek

>tfw my knees hurt when i don't squat for a few days

>so many people have serious knee issues in their fifties despite never stressing them much
so its going to happen regardless
whats your point

If I'm a short arm cuck should I bench with maximum legal bench width?

My concerns are shorter rom won't build as much muscle and I'll actually be limiting myself

My other concern is injury. I have a clean injury record with the bench and seeing as one day that's what I'll specialise in I'd like to keep it that way.

No, it just proves that the knee is very fragile and putting unnatural amount of pressure on it defeats it purpose and has serious consequences.

Someone like Clarence will probably be in a wheelchair soon.

I have had 100% fewer bench-related injuries after switching to max legal archmage style bench

The best? I don't know about that, but this one always gets me.

What's your height and wing span?
What negative effects have you seen from doing max grip?
Mind posting a picture of your chest, no homo?

5'8" with 5'3" wingspan. King of the armlets.
None desu. Elbows hurt all the time but that's more likely caused by my high training volume than my form.
I'm not posting a pic of my chest

here is all I have for now. Will go deadlift soon if my disc golf friends decide not to get together.
thank you for your tolerance brother.
I'm excited for my new life as a trans-twink

didn't know you moved to australia

You must have some fucking hardcore hamstrings to pull that weight up to the ceiling like that

arma 3 when

after the way you've been bullying him? NEVER

>5'8" with 5'3" wingspan. King of the armlets.
I'm miring. If I have to be an armlet I wish I was this much of an armlet.

Can you atleast post a chest similar to your size?

How do I into japan bench memegrip?

Why would I care about how my chest looks or comparing my chest to other people's?

My chest isn't really that big desu.

why would you disgrace a beautiful painting with this thread filled with undisciplined, fat fucking pieces of shit? The Greeks and Romans would stone you for your disgrace and complete disregard for your body and lack of beauty. Fucking kill yourselves.

Fucking normies

That was the point of my question, to see if reducing ROM has a negative effect on hypertrophy. I need a big chest to push big weights :/

3/8 you made it sound like you believed it

What do you like about your gf? Your gf is brown...

Esme?

lmao dude wrong aaron

I've made great bench gains in the past 6 months without for a second worrying about my hypertrophy

You're an exception in the short armed master race

>Felipe Rios
Holy fuck

Do you really have a black gf? Why the frick are you on tinder then????

You've been running saltyballs yeah? Link?

this can't be this first time you've heard of felipe?

tear or normal bruise? felt minor pain there after last OHP session

Is second puberty an actual thing lads? I'm suddenly breaking out with acne on my shoulders, back and some on my face. I actually never had acne during puberty

probably diet/stress/allergy more than anything else
started using a new detergent or washing powder recently?

check your email

Answer me right now, young man!

For how long after daily use of weed can it be detected by a competition drug test?

Thing is, my life style has been pretty much the same with no significant changes, that's why I'm asking

You taking showers after working out as soon as possible? If you let yourself sit around for a bit before you do, can get more break outs.

I think I finally learned how to stretch reflex out the bottom of the squat. I used to do them in a very controlled manner, so it was a slow descent and pretty weak out the bottom. Well, today I was already on the second part of squats (sheiko #30 W4D1) and decided to go just slow enough to to consider it a divebomb. AND THE SQUATS FELT WONDERFUL.
Why did nobody tell me this earlier? Squatting is no longer hellish now, even with my shit proportions. Hell, I think I might even be -looking forward- to my next session.

Most of the time I do yeah. See the thing is, I've never had this before and it's not like I've just started working out.

Also, I'm noticing way more body hair, it's like I'm turning into an actual man :^)

I've been running CLutz for bench and SaltyBalls for squat and dead

Don't know what to tell you bud. More stress could do it too, but you said nothing has really changed.

You think you'll refine your self made bench programming anytime soon for Salty balls?

Also here's the base 4 weeks. Meant to be repeated adding 5lbs to the maxes each new month. I added a peaking block as well obviously.

>Is second puberty an actual thing lads?
No idea lad. I'm starting to get more and more back hair, which desu fucking sucks. Got it mostly on my traps and it sticks out of my tanktop at the gym. Although to be fair, at 22 I don't think it counts as second puberty.
>tfw am a man now

Fuckin shit

>just slow enough not to consider it a divebomb*

Not for a bit. Way too busy for the next while.

Yes?

Also my hair will no longer be green on Monday, gunna try get this number. Hairdresser wife is doing it for free.

To keep things lifted related, is pain in the hips normal when you adjust to correct hinging? I'm aware that DOMs occur in weaker muscles, so is that all that I'm experiencing?

>Pls no more hip injury

No worries man, just asking for some personal experience if anyone had it
Well I'm 20 so yeah, I heard about some people going through a second puberty so I was wondering about it

This for bench?

Hey friends, when doing Sheiko (

Do a mock meet on saturday of the last week. Missing 105% on skills test doesnt necessary mean that you havent made any gains yet. It might just be fatigue.

What's isleys instagram

I want to send him mean messages

check your email

>plg is also full of /sp/ shitposters
Feels good

I did, I like it thanks!

>archmage style
KEK

Be more specific, what did you like about it?

>Missing 105% on skills test doesnt necessary mean that you havent made any gains yet. It might just be fatigue.
Yeah, it's what I'd imagine. I mean, I'm positive I can hit at least 100%, but I don't feel like I'm in a state where I can. How do you suggest I go about the mock meet? I've never gone around to doing one. In fact, I haven't ever done a serious 1RM test, only estimated one from 2RMs and 3RMs.

Familiarize yourself with the rules of your chosen fed. Take three attempts at each lift, preferably with someone judging you or by filming yourself. Do the lifts with commands if you feel like it or if youre going to compete soonish.

>Take three attempts at each lift,
I reckon I should treat the numbers as I should in an actual meet, right? Do something I know I can for an opener and then work from there. Or should I just go balls to the wall and just try to break PRs straight away?

>Do something I know I can for an opener and then work from there.
Yeah, try to do it as if it was an actual meet. Having your gym buddies max out with you on the same day makes it wayy better. Of course it's not an actual meet, so you can take a cheeky 4th attempt if you feel like it :^)

A 13 year old boy outsquats you just by trying hard every day, what's your excuse?

>cheeky 4th attempt
I will. :^)

Alright, I'll keep all that in mind. Thanks for the help, friend. Have a great weekend.
Have this chub cherub.

Ye

did someone say comfy?
youtube.com/watch?v=BsEufo5JdZY

gym is closed today. no notice or warning, the owners just decided not to open.

i envy you tripfags with your comfy gyms and all the time in the world to lift heavy. i wish i could at least have access to fucking weights

I love cute big guys like that.

>Favourite type of dog is Newfoundland

Go figure.

What do you guys do for mobility work?
I do band pullaparts and dislocates frequently throughout the day, then I also try to do a quick stretch routine before bed every night, but realistically about 4x a week.
>couch stretch
>frog stretch
>gastroc stretch
>glute stretch
>hamstring stretch

Hamstring stretches all seem like they don't really work very well for me though, I'm really beginning to feel like my tightness is elsewhere and just seems like hammy tightness, because I've made 0 progress on hammy flexibility.

Also dislocates, lunging hip flexor stretch, stretch where I hold a counter or table or chair or something and hinge hard. Stretches my hams (look up PNF stretching) and feels good on my t spine. Hold the stretches until I actually feel loose rather than for a set time.

here is another comfy

Is it fun? Don't you get a really bad wedgie?

How does jerking off affect your lifting? How often do you jerk off, when? Ever pe-workout, post-workout?

What a depressing cumshot.

It's annoying because it's not getting on any further

Nah it's really comfortable actually. It's not at all like a wedgie. It's like a really good safety harness.

How come you're up so late? Adjusting to the funemployed schedule?

Me too. Got any pics of grills in singlets?

How big is his benis

When should I buy a belt?

She's cute.
