QTDDTOT - GOMAH Edition

Why does my body temperature spike up after I drink my protein shake/have a really good meal? This never happened before.

how come my abs are there, ab veins too but my V seems to be barely visible?
why is that?

should I be training my obliques in my next bulk?

can one ingest heavy whipping cream while on ketosis or starting ketosis? it says 1g of carbs but does the high fat over compensate and whatnot?

>be fat
>I unintentionally started a state of ketosis
>might try to ride the ketone train and lose some weight

Is being able to squat 360 lbs (4pl8) good by Veeky Forums standards? I managed a set of 10 reps today doing it.

I'd say to work more intensely on that arm then.

Dumbbell work, you can't cheat one arm with the other.

Bodyweight workouts to buff out shoulders? The pushups with your ass up and legs straight feel goofy and like more of a tricep excercise. I'm confined to a carpeted floor to work with and am making progress in other areas, but my shoulder game is falling behind and ruining the aesthetic.

Tldr bodyweight shoulder workouts pls

Doc can't hurt but I'd guess letting it happen naturally instead of trying to force it will be the best bet. When you start eating right and lifting heavier it will help, bonus points for eating right while also doing Intermittent Fasting (raises test big time).

I wouldn't stress user

You aren't eating enough fats, and reduced calories result in reduced energy to do anything, including cardio. Change up the ratio of fat/carb/protein to favor fats, which are needed for testosterone production. I had this same problem on my cut, so I started eating nuts and red meat with moderate fat content and I was popping bikers in two days. Also make sure you're getting enough micro nutrients, zinc, vitamin A, C, and D, as well as Iron are all significant factors.

Popping boners. Fucking phone posting.

/g/ fag here what are some good exercises I can do outdors without equipment?

I've read the sticky and made a plan on diet to begin with. The thing is I'm a very sedentary person, so I've decided I won't start lifting right away since I don't want to get injured, I really like jogging so I've been doing it for the last few days and I feel the benefits already, but besides jogging in the mornings I'd like to know what are some good and beginner tier routines I can do in the park that require no equipment and will help me setting up my body to start lifting.

Handstand pushups dummy

Forgot to mention I'm not fat, I'm more like a hungry skeleton if that changes anything.

Switing to texas method from stronglifts and feeling like my pecs and core are being neglected (thier already less prominent then other muscles after SL). What exercises can i input into texas method to make up for this.

Are there any alternatives to squatting?

Ever since I can remember I've had this bump on my left leg. It affected my squats by making me stall when I got to a certain angle in my knee. I got the bump checked out and it's an osteochondroma. The tendons near it literally snap across the tumor when I extend them at a certain angle. I'm pretty sure my squat gains will never make it. Is there anything I can do in place of squats to get joocy legs?

pic related, my x-ray

intermittent fasting vs classic low calorie diet?

which is easier?
what are the pros/cons for either?

thx
>im pretty fucking fat and wanna get my life back on track

go to a penis doctor he will know better than anyone in Veeky Forums

have you tried not masturbating for a couple of days? Do you look at porn a lot? Do you fap multiple times per day?

skeleton here , if I go to the gym should I go 5 days a week and do SS?

How do I get below this 15% bf wall I've been here for three weeks

It honestly doesn't matter. Just eat less than you consume. The problem isn't the method its the state of mind

Good form weighted lunges will build as good of quads as squats without the risk.

Hey i need some help, ive been reading conflicting literature on this subject so i need help. Ive been taking muay thai and grappling for some time now and i'm really enjoying it. I would like to start heavy lifting for gains now, but i have heard that the cardio from martial arts training counter acts the gains. Is this true? If not what should my routine schedule be? Alternating days of Martial arts and lifting?

Can someone tell me why I shouldn't be doing close-grip barbell bench presses? Everyone else I see in the gym doesn't do it but it feels right to me.

One week into lifting, SL5X5 routine
145 bench
Deadlift 150
Squat 135
Pendlay row 155
Newbie to weight lifting got a few questions, rest days I've been doing isolation hypertrophy based training
for arms and shoulders, now is this a bad idea recovery wise? Simply put I wish to put on size on the vanity muscles while training for strength. Also any tips squats wise.

What's a better accessory for OHP, seated dumbbell press or lateral raise.

Regarding bdnf production, it is said that aerobic exercise is better for its production. But what is the least amount of daily running needed (or distance one has to run everyday) to have a positive impact on cognitive function? 5 km? 45 minutes?

How important is it to eat right after the gym?

What happens if I eat a bigger surplus than I am supposed to?

What is the maximum calorie deficit one can maintain without losing significant amounts of muscle?

Sitting at around 15% bodyfat, wanting to get to 10% pronto so I can start building muscle

My first shipment of creatine arrives soon, but I still have a question: if it pumps water in your muscles and heart is a muscle too is it safe to do cardio after taking it? Or it improves heart's performance too?

I'm new to being healthy in any sense

I'm very skinny (155lbs, 6'0) but my face is fat and I have man boobs. I'm assuming I have high body fat and no muscle.

The sticky says a "cut" diet involves 500 calories and 232 gramfs of protein a day. How the fuck is that even possible to achieve?

Chicken breast and protein powder

Also a pound of lean ground beef has ~100 grams of protein

Don't go to 10%. Extremely unhealthy and lowers test

Bulking is a meme unless youre on gear, eat at a minor surplus and have 1g per lb of protein. If your not overweight just eat healthy and stick to a good program

>hurt my wrist somehow (pretty sure it's just twisted
>can only do crunches and push-ups
Anything else I can add while I wait for it to be better?

kys

If I hit my protein goal with enough calories left over while on a deficit, is a beer okay?

The heart and skeletal muscle have different physiological properties, you will be fine.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH MY LEFT ARM
the size is roughly the same as the right, but it's significantly weaker
>doing DB curls
>weight too light for right arm
>left gives out towards the end of the set
just today i literally got stuck mid-curl on the last rep. how do i get rid of this imbalance?

Deep fried or baked churros?

My tdee is 3k. How much can I go lower? 500 is recommend but what if I go 700 lower? How count calories burned from exercises?

I have a poor sleep schedule due to working nights scheduled and unscheduled. Should I lay off lifting and do it once a week in the case of me sleeping 5-6 hours in the daytime?

Try do body workouts but they are as efficient as barbell training. fitness666.com/p/exercise-progressions.html?m=1 here you go.

Read SS again. It is written 3 days per week. You need rest days.

5.8", 125 lbs. How do I acquire weight?

You need to eat big to get big c'mon. Also your tdee+500

eat ffs

Do you also have the problem that you're not quite sure if you should keep cutting or start a slow bulk again?
According to those bodyfat picture chart I'm about 13-14% bf at 5'11 173lbs.

Try eating at 2500 kcal a day for 2 weeks and see what happens. Will probably lose some water weight during the first few days, but after that it will decline. Decrease calories to 2000 and go with the faster weight loss. More calorie restriction and faster weight loss works always the better the less experienced / more fat / less muscular you are. For advanced lifters you probably wouldnt have to ask and you would have to put more thought into losing fat.

The reason Im recommending faster cutting vs a more relaxed one is that if youre high bf% enough you simply wont cut muscle off that easily anyway. You will be more motivated and that keeps one going. 2000 kcals is still easy, 150 g protein is 600 kcal, get around 1 g of fat per kg you weight and the rest from carbs. Try to have the carbs before and after your workout.

bost benis bigtures and ill tell you which one to do go for

I found the videos by Candito and Alan Thrall hugely helpful. Keeping knees apart and not buckling is critical. You CAN do this user but it can take an annoying amount of practice & experimentation.

>stall for months on the same weight for every single lift
>one day break my stall on squat without any change in diet or technique
>next workout progress again on squat
>again and again for the next 2 weeks
>every other lift is still stalling
>squat stalls again after +40lbs progress
>now stalling for months again
how do I make this happen again?

any tl;dr to starting strength, it's awful a lot read

Lower, faggot

Honestly - and I'm not saying this to shitpost - you may just have some minor body dysmorphia. Your core isn't actually supposed to be a literal triangular V, just suggest it a little. Remember, the mirror lies. Worry a little less, focus on strength and enjoyment.

what

Had leg day on Monday, since then had a small tender spot under my belly button. Should I be worried about a pre-hernia or something?

Eat big to get big. Move heavy things till you can move heavier things

500 calorie deficit. That's your TDEE - 500. Very different from just 500 kcal diet.

Why are my armpits more sore than my chest after benching?

I tried that nucleus overload bullshit and did 50 Biceps curls until I got a insane pump.
Now I cant extend my arms fully and both my Biceps and the inner side of my elbow hurts like a Bitch.
Is this Biceps DOMS due to the new stimuli (normally only do low rep compounds) or have I gotten tennis/golfers elbow?

If I reach my protein goal with 250+ calories left over, can I have a beer?

sounds like bullshit, overloading the muscle only turns it into an endurance exercise. 50 reps will only do for size as much as 12 would.

you probably just pushed it too much, give it a couple of days rest, ice if you need it and you'll be fine.

I'm trying to get to 135lb DB Bench each arm, currently at 80lb and really slowing, how can I keep progress high.

Also, I seem to be locking my shoulder blades on the descent in my press ups when I am extremely tired, after many many pushups, kinda uncomfortable but still manageable, is it going to do any damage?

>pullups ard harder than pushups
>lots of videos of legit 1 arm pullups on youtube, no videos of proper legit strict 1 arm pushups on youtube

why is this?

If I'm feeling hungry, stomach growling etc, will my body begin burning muscle or losing muscle mass if I eventually reach my calorie surplus for the day?

How big can your chest get in a year?

It's harder to balance

Pls respond

Yes alcohol won't impair your gains if you don't drink enough to get drunk or go over your calorie goal.

What's the difference between drinking and getting drunk gains-wise?

More protein, more carbs, more calories. And try actually pushing yourself in the gym. If your muscles don't feel like they're crying and bleeding by the end, lift some more.

I'm a big fan of landmine chest presses, you can make small changes to positioning and angles to hit different parts of the chest.

I dont think theres any reason not to. I dont feel them very well, so I'm planning on cutting them out, but my triceps are already crap anyway.

depends

if you're a beginner, you put on weight during the year and hit it with high volume and high frequency it can grow a lot

Is there a limit on how much whey protein you can take?

my fucking wrists hurt when i barbell bicep. i do about 5 sets of 8-9 reps, the last set until failure which is around 11. what could be causing the pain?

Doing IF right now and my BCAAs haven't come in yet (supposed to be delivered today). How do you guys have the energy to work out completely fasted?

I break my fast after my workout.

willpower, black coffee and drinking lots of water.

Drinking coffe completely blunts my apetite so i can go al day without eating if i want, the trick is to only drink coffe during the fast, and you have to drink it black and plenty of water too

Is it ok to do heavy lifts like 3rep max stuff 3 times a week every week ? Will I eventually get shoulder pain from bench press ?

I clean, press and front squat 6 days a week, and I'm doing fine. Just hit a 2pl8 strict press as well. You'll be fine.

this happens to me too, never figured out the problem

you'd probably be better off just doing cable or dumbbell curls, not worth snapping your shit up over isolation exercises

you can do 1 rep maxes every single day if your recovery is on point. you need to evaluate it yourself.

stop going to the gym for a while cause of projects and finals
now that theyre over how do I get motivated enough to go back?
also give me a 4day push pull routine(squats on push day only since my legs are already big)

Do i have 20% BF?

I'm sure you'll snap back after your pregnancy.

Are you happy youll be getting a new stepbrother you massive faggot?

What's the best way to get a bench press cheap? All of the people on craigslist are fucking kikes asking retail price for decade old rusty garbage.

My girl started lifting, she's like 10 pounds overweight.

Should I make her cut 10 pounds THEN build her legs and ass up?
Or should I straight out of the gate have her squat/dead/glutebridge and do cardio simultaneously?

dis nigga srs?
>fat
>wants to be less fat
>will liquid fat make me less fat?
fuck man. Fat is what carbs turn into when you have too many carbs, heavy whipping cream is a giant pile of fat. You will not go into ketosis, you will not pass go, you will not collect 200 dollars, you will go straight to fatfuckville. Ketosis occurs because of your body having no other ATP supply (the bodys' source of energy) besides protein, so you start burning off all of the fat you have left in order to produce energy that way because it is the only carb left in the body. Don't drink heavy whipping cream if you want to go into ketosis.

So on a program like GSLP, how do I determine what weights I use for the 3x5+?

Do I use a weight that challenges me on the 5th rep, such that the 5th rep itself is a challenge already? Or do I pick a weight that makes me feel like I still can push out one or two more reps after the 5th rep?

On the last AMRAP set, what if I can only do 5 reps?

how do I into locarb without feeling like a starving dinosaur all the time?

Why does my forearm look sexy as fuck when the plam is facing me but dyel when it is facing away?Is it muscle imbalance or is it supposed to look this way?
