QTDDTOT

Well, my definition of aushwitz would be like one of my friends, who's about 5'10''/6' and he only weighs about 120

Is real social dynamics a meme?

Need help.

Going to a party soon and decided to do nofap for a week to get confidence gains (there is an actual spike in test on the seventh day). But now I'm worried that after a week of nofap as soon as a girl gets near me dick I'll go off.
wat do?

>inb4 autistic virgin, I am

If my TDEE is 3500 but only eat around 1500 max, will my metabolism "bottom out" or is it just a meme for people who don't know what they're talking about?

How do i come back quickly from a strained rectus abdominus? Even planking mkes the right side of my stomach feel likes its on fire and i have a comp in 2 weeks

Dislocated my shoulder recently. Doing physiotherapy to help with recovery but I'm scared to the shoulder exercise when I get back to the gym, particularly OHP. Any advice to ease chances of injury, or just carry on?

im too awkward and antisocial and self conscious to work out in a gym and im really fat so i stink. are there any excerises i can do at home in my room to help me lose weight?

body weight, yoga, and walking

>3500
Holy shit what are your numbers

Push-ups, use your knees if you need to
Body weight squats
Jumping jacks
Run in place

My body has been at a higher temperature than normal for the past month. Shit is uncomfortable when I sweat just by walking up hill to my car. I'm not fat either.
>tfw 125lb skelemanlet
I'm only going to the gym 3 times a week, I doubt I'm overworking myself. What is wrong with me?

just eat like I do

we went over this yesterday

Are there any excerise routines I can follow?

How come my joints hurt when i squat? I feel like my form is good.what can i do to change this?
Also i do use a smith machine since my gym doesn't have free weight squat rack

Do sets up push ups however many you can
Do same for jumping jacks
Go for walks
Do body weight squats

I'm using a body caliper for the first time.

The instructions say to let go of the spring handle and take a measurement, but the spring on this caliper is very strong and pinches deep into the fold (pic included for reference.)

This doesn't seem right. Can you help a retard out?

I am 5'9 and 147lbs. I still have a bit of belly fat. I am quite a low weight according to others, so should I start eating more and building muscle or just try to get rid of the bf I have left? Looks like I'm going to have loose skin too. Lame. Down around 40lbs. Pic related.

Should I alternate between compound exercises and isolated exercises each day

how much did you weigh before

around 189lbs. Pic related. Me in January.

5'9 274

Are you all muscle or.....?

Can we delete this thread just for the OP using such a fucking repulsive picture?

Is tap water being bad a meme?
Should you really buy bottled water? Is filtered water with like a Brita enough?

What's the best water to drink?

What are foods high in protein?

Until I have money to go to a gym, are body weight exercises worth the trouble?

Fruit / Oat blends, worth it or not?

Well first off, your TDEE ain't 3500. It's about 2600. Metabolism gets more efficient the lower your weight is, so you need to recalculate your TDEE every 20 pounds or so.

As long as you eat 60% or higher of your TDEE, you'll be fine.

How do I tell a tattletale-prone DYEL co-worker to stop giving my unsolicited workout advice while I'm working?

My grocery store has Muscle Milk 50g protein powder for $14.00.
Is it a trash brand or does it not matter?

Depends on your city's water quality. Back in Phoenix water was really clean, in other parts of the country it can be nigh-undrinkable.

A water-filter won't do shit if it's really bad like Flint's is. Otherwise it's moreover for flavor. Tap water usually has minerals in it that taste off.

>What's the best water to drink?
It's water. There is no "Best". Just make sure it's clean.

some of it's muscle but most of it is fat. got bitch tits and a gut. it's not that bad but it's still there

Bottled water IS tap water ya dingus

Its a massive racket. The only acceptable reasons to drink bottled water are:

>You're currently in a disaster where the water stopped running
>Your tap water is running but contaminated

that's it

>Hey man, thanks, but I know what I'm doing. Wouldn't have gotten my lifts this high without it.

Yeah so your TDEE is certainly not 3500 unless you are doing tonnes of cardio a day.

Your TDEE Is probably about 2,200 or so. Stick to 1,500cals and you'll drop weight fine. It isn't dangerous.

Trash brand. Meme-tier.

Groovy. Thanks brother.

Ok, so you know how you do high-rep low-weight biceps curls to get big arms.

can you do that same thing for bench press and deadlifting?

I'd imagine no.

this is legit the nastiest picture i've seen on this site including the decapitated penis that used to float around on /b/ back in like 2002.

Please ;~;

chicken breast
cottage cheese
eggs
almonds
combine rice and beans for complete aminos

body weight exercises will help you start. pullups are especially good.

no.

Whey, Chicken, basically any type of meat, lentils, quinoa, look up the fucking nutrition yourself with a calorie counter.

>Until I have money to go to a gym, are body weight exercises worth the trouble?
It's better than nothing.

That is the worst goddamn photoshop job I've seen in a long while.

Bump. Pls respond.

Bump my question

Thought on yoga helping lifts?

I probably about a 5-6/10 in terms of flexibility so I wonder if incorporating yoga is a good idea to help with my lifts

My workplace is offering 6 classes over 6 weeks for $60, no idea if that's a good deal but there's lots of milfs where I work so even staring at their asses for an hour a day isn't bad either

Yoga is soley for picking up women. Make sure to be at the front of the class so all the milfs mire you.

who cares bro it'll be the best nut you ever bust, if you score with a girl just do foreplay till she cums

Left knee keeps popping/cracking during squats. Why?

no

heavier compounds tend to build more muscle because they tear my most muscle fibres

you're not supposed to be doing low weight bicep curls, unless you're only going for a pump

medium weight with 6-10 reps are good for biceps

No. It works for biceps cause you're probably constantly using and subsequently flexing them. All you're doing is toning the muscle and that won't translate into actual gains. When no one can see your pecs and shit cause you have clothes on they won't see what they think is muscle, making your tones as shit bod not very effective

gratz for buying a caliper and trying something advanced like this, but it's very difficult to use a caliper on yourself.

Either shitty form or you're missing cartlage or you dislocated one of your knee bones awhile back and never saw a doctor. Happened to me, got it fixed years later. Gains have been way quicker ever since

>toning the muscle

What does london mean? I've been on this board for nearly 8 months, and I still have no idea what it means.

>That first toe succ of the day

How'd you get it fixed/how much did it cost? My doctor said me knees seem fine, but I'm currently awaiting x-ray results.

Mine wasnt that bad so it cost like $5000 dollars out of pocket cause I don't have insurance, they examined it, put it back in its place, gave me an x-ray and then have me the boot. I had to wear a brace for a couple of weeks but that wasnt so bad. They told me not to do anything too extraneous so I didn't lift for a while. To this day I'm kinda weary of squats and shit.

what % of my 5 rep max should I be doing for close-grip bench press?
I wanna see progress on my bench but don't wanna snap my shit up

>$5000

Yikes. I have insurance so hopefully it's not too bad, or anything at all. Gonna go curlbro mode until I know for sure.

Do farmers walks have any relevance or use in a standard strength / hypertrophy programme?

I want forearm size and grip strength but i don't know if theyre the best exercise for that

Is protein powder required to build muscle?
Doc says I shouldn't take any actual protein powder rn

But instead she recommended breakfast essentials. Anyone used that for at least a bit of protein?

I am maintaining right now (need to cut but can't for 4 more months) but do t want to bulk either

protein powder is not essential for building muscle, in reality it doesn't help muscle development at all compared to any other sources of protein, it's just convenient.

Protein powder is just protein. There's nothing special about it besides convenience and low-cost for a lot of protein.

I just bought some whey protein isolate powder to help meet protein intake. Shit smells like rotten fuckin milk and tastes like absolute shit. Is this normal? I have heard protein powder comes with a slight odor but this is rank.

Thanks my dude.

You probably got a bad packet. You know, supplement powder like this is extremely fertile ground for little insect fuckers or bacteria or some shit.

Thanks. I will contact the seller and ask for a replacement or something.

Shit man that's inspiring. I started around the same weight. I'm currently at 175 trying to get to 160

It can taste or smell weird but it shouldn't ever have a distinctively bad smell or taste. The guys who create this stuff usually aren't dumb and make it taste good.

Except if you buy spirulina algae. These are revolting and there's nothign you can do about it.

one of the best, yes

also try plate-pinches for grip strength and wrist curls for aesthetics

for the past 2-3 days, some retard has been reposting the same thread over and over

i guess the normies finally caught on and are using it as a meme now

How to rehab a pulled hammy? It's felt kinda shitty for 3ish months

I used to have to plug my nose to chug my whey protein

Right now I am working on weight loss and a lot of it(100+lbs). I have been trying to do low impact exercises and I'm working my way through some bodyweight fitness exercise(hard as fuck btw). Is there anyway I can maintain muscle through weight loss or do I need to lose the fat first then work on muscle? Also with that would supplementing workouts with protein be a bad idea with weight loss?
I have read through the sticky and I can't get a sure answer anywhere.

I did this with the batch I have. Its fuckin gross and makes my mouth taste like off milk. Weird enough, no protein farts or gastric distress.

generally, low deficits (300-500calories less than TDEE) preserve almost all of your muscle mass

depending on how obese you are, i'd suggest something like a 700 deficit

> Also with that would supplementing workouts with protein be a bad idea with weight loss?

as long as it fits your calories, there is no problem with this

>wrist curls for aesthetics
Extensor work is important for general wrist health as well.
Even just fucking around with sand will be beneficial.

Honestly, I got started in June with cutting out the easy stuff. I don't eat sweets or sugary food anymore. All I drink is water and the occasional zero ultra meme. I was just over 400lbs in May and I am down to 376lbs today just from doing above. I have been eating less than I used to for sure(could down to Little Caesars pizzas by myself). I am actually working on try a 1000 calorie deficit. I know its really aggressive, but man, its fuckin hard and depressing being fat. I hate when I have to do things a weird way just cuz I am out of shape and can't fit for things. Kills confidence and moral all day. I am happy for the bit I have lost but I have so much more to go. I just want it gone and appreciate that there are no shortcuts. I am a little afraid of loose skin but so far I haven't seen any. I want to be happy about me and I think I may make it. If I can get down to 360lbs by at least december, I think I can ride the momentum home. I love Veeky Forums for helping me so far and all those /fph/ threads make me realize what I am.

IF you're looking for 100+ pound weight loss, you don't have muscle worth maintaining. Eat an 1000 calorie deficit, lose 2 pounds a week, make sure you're eating at-least 60% of your daily TDEE.

Recalculate TDEE every 20 lbs.

>fucking around with sand
What did he mean by this

Thanks

>What kind of effects and weight loss rate can I expect while cutting with an ECA stack?
>
>Is it safe and what are some side effects to expect?
Personal experience. Just EC, no A needed or wanted. Energy boost, little fidgety but not grindy. Appetite reduction. Weight loss per deficit, perhaps a couple % more. Safe unless you have heart condition, in which case you might die. Side effects: sweat like a slave on the auction block when lifting.

A lot of strongmen, powerlifters and climbers like to fuck with sand.

Dirt, sand, rice, whatever

How long will it take for me to stop getting side stitches when running? Ran for the second time today and I kept running through the pain until it started spasming real bad

Only if you're a chodey chode

Can you get nice / big legs with the leg press?
>I think I fixed my thoracic spine issue with low bar squats (squat mornings put too much stress on it, focus on keeping chest up on the way up), but if i didn't I'm going to have to cut squats entirely. Deads give me no trouble.

I think I'm thinning at my right temple, but I'm not entirely sure. Should I hop on the myriad of hair loss meds like minoxidil and prepecia based off a suspicion? Or should I start out with saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil? I'm really hesitant about starting a regiment I'm going to be dependent on because that shit is expensive and the sides are scary.

Also, if there's any bald bros out there, when could you definitively say you were going bald and at what age? I'm 23 atm

Well user, look at it this way. If you fall off after a week, you'll still be better off test-wise than if you were beating your dick into submission several times a day like you usually do. If you have to fap, just use your imagination instead of porn, then try to nofap even longer.

Is creatine worth it? I mean I know it's really cheap but won't u just lose all of my gains if I stop taking it?

lose some, not all. maybe a rep or two. It's useful though.
