How do I buy ground beef at the supermarket? It's a butchery section and there is no prepackaged frozen ground beef. Do I tell the dude to ground me a pound of beef chuck or what?

You ask for ground beef and he will either tell you has and give you or say he doesn't have.

if he doesn't can I ask him to ground some

You can ask if he can ground some, don't be an asshole and ask him to do it without knowing if he can do it.

Could someone tell me what they think of this shitty pain i've been dealing with?


I've been lifting consistently for about 3-4 months. The other day, Tuesday, I went rock climbing for the first time in like 2 years, then did my back/bicep workout later that day around 8pm, in which I added a new exercise that I did last, bicep 21s.

When I woke the next day up my biceps and elbows hurt like crazy. I chalked it down to some bad DOMS and took a rest day. It seemed to get better throughout to day but was still nagging.

The next day, Thursday, was chest/tri day. Still sore, but I've lifted sore before so I thought it was like any other day. NOPE. I did 3 sets on the bench press and one set of tricep pushdowns before I had to leave because my arms hurt so much. It was even hard to drive home.

So right now is two days after that. Arms are feeling better but can still feel a little pain when lifting heavy things. I feel like shit missing 2 workouts this week b/c of it.


Has anybody expereinced pain like this before or might know what it is? Like I mentioned, its upper arm / elbow pain. Kinda of a sore pain but also a kind of straining pain

OK, Veeky Forums, here's the thing: a skinnyfat friend told me he wants to start building muscle, and asked for some links to read. I quickly realized I don't really have links saved but instead dozens of hours worth of youtube videos and pieces of information I read and neglected to save. I'm afraid if I tell him to RTFM or go watch videos he'll be put off and stop, or injure himself.

Apart from the sticky (I'll be fucked if I guide him to Veeky Forums), can you recommend some professional guides / websites that will cover lifting routines, form, muscle groups etc.?

One problem is the gym in his building doesn't have a bench press / squat rack etc., so compound lifts may be out of the question.

Its doms. Doms lasts 2-4 days for beginners

Does anyone have the "average Veeky Forumsizen" pic?
It's Wojak (le feels man) with

thank you in advance

I've had the blood and sweat, when do the tears come?

when you fall for the 3d girl meme

how to get enough protein withou meat, whey and dairy? i dont eat meat that often, too much dairy makes me bloated and whey is a shill. already eat legumes.i dont prepare food regulary because of work. (commute a lot)

eggs man, fucking eggs, boil them cook them hell even fry them, fucking eggs man

Just drink whey you fucking /pol/shit

Bump.

I once encountered a page with all the different muscle groups and their respective potential exercises, does anyone know what I'm talking about?

What are some simple, cheap-ish, and healthy slow cooker recipes for encouraging the gains? Anyone know of any recipe books or resources?

Only stuff I found online was blatantly fattening, or was a housewife trying to be fancy with 50 fucking ingredients.

Not what you're looking for but

Also, he needs a bench. Trying to gain a chest without a bench is like trying to gain muscle without eating.

Not gonna make it

This is useful, thanks! He actually does have dumbells in his building's gym, and maybe a bench (as in, just the bench...), but as far as I know no racks or barbells, just some machines and free weights. He wasn't sure at first, I had to describe them to him and he said he didn't have them.

I really want the guy to start putting on muscle mass so I'm sending him some links, but what I lack now is some routine for him to follow, if he can't do compound lifts it might be best to do some split routine with machines / weights. Hopefully he could find a better gym later when he starts seeing gains.

Is it actually a good idea to take advice from ppl in these threads?

Its more useful for helping you find the information you need rather than spoonfeeding

Honestly the questions are way more retarded than the answers usually.

im a total noob(tow weeks into reddit's ppl) when does the "burn" stop?its like my body is burning ,it doesnt hurt but its annoying i feel it some hours after exercising

is this common?

Looking for a routine using a bench and DB

Gym I go to doesn't have a barbell and the DB's go to 30kg max.

What are good "cold dinners" to reduce time spent on making dinner, doing dishes etc. I generally have at least 3 nights a week where I really have to rush through dinner, and getting something that can be done quicker/easier whilst not unhealthy is nice.

you can alwys make food in advance and heat it
if you dont like eating cold stuff thats what i do

I don't mind cold dinners, was just wondering what's good that I might not know of.

It happens to everyone who starts lifting. It's called DOMS and goes away after a couple of weeks of lifting. Fight through it.

I want some accessories to compliment my SL, what should I do after my main compounds?

What do you want to improve? You could always do more back and add some more rows and lat pulldowns. Tricep pushdowns? Curls? DB bench? Flies?

Maybe you want to do legs? Maybe add leg press, deficit deadlifts or romanian deadlifts.

Find a weakness or something you want to work on and plan your accessories around that.

I have no idea how to plan for myself but I feel like my most lacking muscles are traps and lats and of course the inner curlbro in me wants more arms

>how do I get enough protein without eating protein?

That's not DOMS, that's a pump he's describing

I train at home and already have a power rack and flat bench. Should I get an incline as well or will the flat suffice?

Add shrugs, lat pulldowns, rows and curls bro!

If you have the money go ahead but you don't need it.

I suck at getting into a good position for conventional deadlifts. How much will my back gains be affected if I switched to sumo?

Are 2 a day AM/PM workouts good if you are natty?

Gains Goblin got me famiglia, this wednesday I went out with some friends to eat and after leaving the place I had diahrrea at home and went to lift shortly after, was feeling ok. Mid gym I started to feel weird and not ok, eventually took my gf home and came back to mine to rest, eventually this started to go down.
Not sure but I think I got food intoxication, I only had diahrrea 2-4 times and it was low amounts, instead, I puked around 5-6 times and it was fucking awful alongside nausea, bit of fever and big pain in my stomach, lower back, knees and arms everything on the bones.
from wednesday night to thursday 6am I puked those times, and some hours later I started the BRAT diet, basically toasted bread with apple pure/sauce whatever its called.

I did this and since that day I haven't puked and I laready shit once and it seems half consistent, like thick. I've also had rice and chicken breasts yesterday and today and I even left home to go to the gym help my gf do her stuff which leads me to two questions


1.when is it safe to resume my diet aka eat whatever I want ?

2. What can I do to compensate this period? I was cutting, should I keep my cut or do a day or two of maintenance?

I'm still feeling down and weak as fuck, picked a 20kg plate and fuck me did it felt like 40.

There's this pinching pain in my shoulders joints whenever I do lateral or front raises. Could it be just a mobility issue and it will go later or I might be doing something wrong?

Sounds like food poisoning to me, did you throw up while not having anything in your stomach, like dry heaving? For me that's a way to 100% tell I got food poisoning, but I'm no doc.

If I were you I'd eat to get some depleted minerals and electrolytes.

Slavic brew of health:
Garlic, onion, ginger, lemon juice, honey and water from pickles. Put in bowls, mash, chug down(with your nose closed preferrably). Tastes disgusting, but will absolutely help you.

I've got a cold that's stopped me from lifting this week, I coughed out a lot of phlegm first thing when I woke up. Is doing a low volume high intensity day on monday feasible given I feel really weak right now?

Yeah, I threw up the first time all of the food.
then it got worse and worse to the point last time it was green/grey-ish-green liquid and nothing else, wanted to puke more but I had nothing more to throw out.


that sounds disgusting kek, but I read citrus juices and stuff is bad for you when you have this.
I also wanted to eat some yoghurt but I only have flavored ones so fuck me

I might go for a soup and fish eventually, I'm really digging the idea of a grilled salmon and some veggies but i'm scared

I want to get flexible as fuck. I started doing the Starting Stretching routine a week ago. The lunge and standing pike are difficult. I'm not sure if my form is correct or even if I'm stretching enough or too much. I'm worried that I'll spend months doing it everyday and not witness results. Are there other great stretching and flexibility resources you can share with me? A flexibility PDF or something.

Here's a good stretching routine to lumbar you up

what's the flattest and gym legal footwear that is flatter than vans? Outside those vibram, the shoes with fingers is there anything else?

Noob lifter, about a month and a half into SL 5x5. Any tips for OHP other than locking knees and clenching glutes? I'm really struggling and just had to deload after 3 fails at a fucking measly 42.5kg. It's really fucking me off, but I know that it'd be the first one I'd fail at due to smaller muscle groups used in the exercise.

look at justin lascek 3 presses fixes(or something similar to that, it's on youtube). I did this when I started lifting and made wonders, now I have perfect form on that lift and is one of my favourites.
ALWAYS make sure you're doing them with good to perfect form and you'll make strength gains, even small fixes like bar path/travel on the bench, once went from 85kg to 90kg mid-cut due to this.

OHP is a lift that is tricky if you don't have shoulder mobility, also extremely annoying to teach beginners.

Probably a stomach bug. I had one a few weeks ago where for about 24 hours, I would be sick about every hour, even having just sips of water. If there was nothing in me to throw up, my stomach would still try, leaving me bent over the toilet dry heaving. I didn't get back to eating normally for about four days after that and lost over half a stone in weight.

I'm looking for an audio file. I remember seeing it in a screencap. I asked on here before and a kind user delivered, but I lost it.

It's about 45 minutes of workout music combined with women talking about how hot they think muscled guys are. The user who posted it originally got some girls on /soc/ to record themselves for it.

Who is the best YouTube fitness celebrity for teaching form?

Always assumed food intoxication = gastroenteritis/stomach bug


I'm glad I seem to be recovering super fast, just scared of trying other foods.

Nice one user - cheers.

Shaving arms: gay, or a good way to make arms look even bigger? Any guys here do it?

Do his joint mobility and regular mobility stuff too, always (also when stretching) press to the edges of your ROM a little bit more without straining. Look up some non-gay yoga you might like.

I ate plain simple food in very small regular portions until I felt okay to eat normally again. Homemade chicken soup for the first day then scrambled eggs, chicken breast with broccoli, that type of thing for a couple of days. I avoided fatty foods and dairy as much as I could as I found that those made me feel ill again. You'll be over it soon, just take it easy and listen to your body.

Uncut virgin here.
How do I put a condom on correctly?

how many calories can bodyfat provide in an hour?
e.g. if you burn 100 calories in an hour just sitting with an empty stomach your body can handle producing that from fat stores
but what about sprinting for an hour straight?
how many calories could you burn in an hour without any external energy coming in before you start passing out from exhaustion?

alright thanks senpai, I forgot about the eggs.

but one last thing, should I do 1 or 2 days of maintenance or even bulk after I'm fine? Or can I just resume my cut.

kek, when you have a boner doesnt your skin just go back naturally? its like as if you were circumcised,
if it doesnt, pull it back with your left hand, grab the tip of the condom with your right one so it doesnt create an air pocket, while still doing that use your left one to hold the circumference part of the condom and put it on your dick, then roll it down.

you can always just google it or even try porn websites, pretty sure there's tutorials

Are front squats good back squat alternative if I've been recovering from herniated disk? Hurt it with poor deadlift form. I'm having hard time finding lower body exercises that are easy on spine. Stupid to do upper body and core every single workout. Any advice?

I'm planning to start working out at home.

I got a mat, dumbbell and lots of nice places to run outside.


I'm going to do push-ups, sit-ups etc on the mat. Some dumbbell exercises and run outside.


What do you guys think?

I think in theory they should since theyre even better for quads but hey, get that answer from a professional with qualifications

>sticky wants to you start stretching
>no warming up at all

that's how you know the sticky is shit

I'd like to make skin gains, but everything out there seems like fucking snake oil aside from common sense things like UV protection, diet, and exercise.

What actually fucking works? Do I need to see a dermatologist just to get basic skin care information?

How do you think you do yoga? They go right into stretches

I have this schweppes glass bottles in my fridge since some were left after the party unused.
They have the expiration date of 30/11/17, is this fine to leave in the fridge? or does it change the expiration or something

Personally, I'd try to regain some of the weekly calories and (more importantly) fluids that you've lost by being ill. Fluids are the most important due to dehydration playing a large part in strength reduction - Exercise performance is impaired when an individual is dehydrated by as little as 2% of body weight.
If I carried on cutting after being ill, I'd feel weak as fuck for a lot longer than if I'd have tried to get some of those calories back that I'd missed out on.

How long, on average, would it take to go from 14%bf to 10%bf with a 300kcal deficit?

>cutting used to be easy, 2000 kcals for a 500 deficit
>now it's 1800 for around 200-300 deifict

Good place to start - better to do anything rather than nothing. Depends what your goal is though, I guess.

Question though - why are you here, typing about *planning* to do it?

Get off the computer, get changed and get to it.

Are yokes bad or is that just a meme?

Avoid too much, but they're not bad in of themselves.

I'm starting on Monday. I promise.

My goal is to get rid of my beer-belly, and to lose fat on my face. And improve myself of course.

About 3 yolks a day is good for most people. You can fulfill your choline requirement this way. There's a lot more micronutrients in the yolk than the whites. Up to 6 yolks a day has been studied as safe, but that is definitely a lot of saturated fat.

hyperhydrate, eat collagen and fruit, inject ghrps/ghrh

can someone gain muscle on maintenance with lets say 0.7g protein per lb bodyweight, if he lifts 3 times a week following SS or do you have to eat more than maintenance to gain muscle, or more protein?

Bumping this. If anyone has it it would be much appreciated.

Why are standard brosplits considered bad?

Ive started training grappling on the days im not lifting. Problem is I'm sore and tired the day after and my lifting is affected. How should I combine the two activities?

Focusing on one bodypart and destroying it is probably suboptimal since higher frequency has good evidence for being more effective.

For natties at least, 2x or 3x per week is almost certainly better for gaining strength/muscle.

Maybe a little but it's much much much easier to gain in a bigger surplus with higher protein. Bro tip high carb medium protein low fat is the best way to bulk.

Keep fucking grinding, acute dips in lifting performance due to accumulated fatigue are not equivalent to losing gains. You'll adapt within two weeks.

Where did 1/2/3/4 come from? Is it just a lazy/round number. Do they mean 1RM or 3RM or 5RM when they talk about that?

The reason I ask is because it feels like based on that standard my OHP/BP are good but my squat and deads are massively fall behind. Is that normal?

From my last workouts
OHP: 3x5, 1x6 @ 155
BP: 3x5, 1x8 @ 225
Squat: 3x5, 1x8 @ 265
Dead: 1x6 @ 305

For deads I only do 1 max lift set but I do 2 heavy 'warmup' sets. 1 at 80% of what I am going to "max' for the day and 1 at 90% for the day.

bump, should I do OHP and front squats today, with a scoop of pre to battle fatigue?
Also, are db front squats a good way to build core?

1RM and yeah it's just lazy. Bigger plates are mostly just for ego anyway. Check out symmetrical strength dot comm. Anyway it's all down to personal preference.

Most brosplits hit a single body part once a week. Its better to hit each muscle group 2-3 times a week. Even at the higher volume that they do on that individual day its just better to work each group twice.

Honestly I would do submaximal sets and not even approach failure. Practice technique, practice mobility, just get the blood flowing a bit and don't kill yourself.

Db front squats are an okay way to build core but core isolations are the best. You won't be able to hold heavy enough dbs to reallllly challenge yourself.

Thanks. Looks like it says im 15-20% behind on squats/deads but above on ohp/bp/rows so i guess it makes sense. Just need to keep working I guess.

Thanks again.

Is it okay to do 3.5x / week instead of 3x/week?
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thrusday, Saturday, ...
That still makes it so there's always one rest day between work days.

Great attitude, I wish you success and prosperity brother
Of course man

Is it your muscles that hurt, or your joints themselves?

I was working out 3 times a week, and bouldering twice a week and developed tendonisis in my arms - bicep tendonitis in one, and tricep tendonitis in the other.

This felt like a dull ache where these muscles connected to my joints, and got progressively worse with each climb/workout. If this is the kind of pain you're feeling and it persists then go and see a doctor. You probably overdid things and have strained your tendons. I ended up taking a few months of working out and climbing to let my tendons heal. They're pretty much fine now.

If it's a pain in your actual muscles (especially when you stretch your arms), it's probably just DOMS and will go away. Reading your desciption it's probably that, but I'd just keep an eye on it. Climbing and working out a lot can put a lot of stress on your tendons.

Made this recently in a slow cooker and it was great. You can use cheap cuts of meat (and cheap wine), and it still tastes banging because slow cooker.

Ask for ground sirloin it's a little more but leaner. Then you ground round and ground chuck

I'm 5'9, 210 pounds, mostly fat. Trying to lose that weight. If I lose like 20-30 pounds in 4-5 months, is my skin just going to look flabby

Does whey make anyone else's stools darker? I started taking it 3 times a day while cutting 2 weeks ago and my shit has become noticeably darker. Not black but dark

SS with added dips after every routine. Good or bad idea?

Two months ago my patellar tendons started to bother me while squatting so I stopped for a month until it went away completely, now I'm doing light squats with more leg isolation to rehabilitate it. Pain comes and goes but it's starting to appear less often. During squats I feel tension in the tendons, but it's nowhere near the same kind of sensation that made me stop. Am I doing this right or am I setting myself up for nosquats?

Also, anyone know what kind of form issue in squats would cause patellar tendon issues? Squats and deadlifts were my literal only leg exercises, so there's the chance that imbalances and shit could have caused it. As far as I was aware I never had any occurrences where my knees caved in during squats.

Good

Do chinups every workout too

Also fuck power cleans and deadlift more instead

bunp

Too many variables to say because it depends alot on how long you've been overweight, genetics etc. With that being said I went from 250 > 200 and noticed no loose skin. I went from 200 > 170 and don't have any either. I'm at a good weight now so I don't suspect it will be a problem but I gained most of my weight over about a 2 year period before I started losing it over the last 18 months

Should probably alternate with pullups but yeah, they're good.
