mine: when i squat (one legged, two legged, barbell, bodyweight, full rom, 1/8 rom, whatever, doesn't matter) my right knee is not able to track my toes in terms of direction. It points inward and i can't even push it out forcefully. Is this the reason I have chronic patella pain? Can I fix it? (mobility issue) Any other thoughts about it?
Should I do tricep isolation in addition to bench press?
Justin Sanders
How do i get my shitty tan off..
Didn't kno what board to post it on
Isaac Clark
do dips
Nolan Sullivan
Why does my back hurt when I do bench press? I don't arch my back if that makes a difference.
Jack Taylor
Are you over tightening your back? I have a nasty habit of tightening my legs while benching
Ethan Morgan
What the fuck do I do after SS. This shit is getting to the point where squat and deadlift day just fucks my recovery for the week. I don't want to eat more. Texas method? 5/3/1?
Julian Allen
peel your skin off
Zachary Gutierrez
I can't deal with my skin anymore. I can finally feel and see my abs but it doesn't matter with this overhang and nasty stretch marks on my stomach. It's been 9 months since I went down 80 lbs but this shit has got me depressed. Who the fuck would want to fuck a guy with a six pack with white stretch marks on his lower abs and beef red ones on his groin, upper thighs? Should I just lift for gains or neck myself?
Lincoln Reyes
What is better a 5/3/1 PPLx2 or AxBxCDx? Im going to box twice a week. If I do the PPL I would have to do it before school.
Blake Allen
you can have it removed with laser surgery
Xavier Russell
Should supersets be done with zero rest time between exercises, or is it okay to take a minute or two?
Dylan Robinson
Is there a difference between eating 500 calories less and burning 500 calories? I want to remain a ladyboy.
Ayden Lewis
It's not a question, rather a confession.
I was retarded. I didn't care about macros at all, I thought stuffing my face with 5000 cals of chocolate and pastry with some milk would do the trick. My muscles grew, but my fat grew faster so I quit. Now I actually started eating lots of protein. Today I consumed less than 200g, I'm supposed to take 250, but I can see/feel the difference after a fucking day with 2 hours of sleep. This is amazing. Wow.
John Miller
How fix noodle arms. Currently doing curls/pull-ups/dips. Also how to add weight to dips?
Cooper Butler
There are more health benefits to burning 500 more.
Jason Wood
The point of a super set is to not waste time. You aren't supersetting for strength brah.
Wyatt Bailey
>Also how to add weight to dips? Backpack. You probably should add pushups, with proper form, to the mix.
Dylan Jenkins
how much protein for optimal muscle growth on a lean bulk and for muscle maintenance on a cut?
I'm doing 2g per kg on the cut(300 deficit) and plan to do like 1.8g per kg on the lean bulk that I'm starting(already slowly upping kcals each week)
thanks in advance
Luis Smith
should I work on my private projects or fuck a hooker?
Nicholas Brooks
so im doing IF because im never hungry when I wake up plus it allows huge fucking meals later on the day when I get hungry thing is, I lift during my fast and only eat like 2-4hours after lifting too
for example, I wake up at 13pm and have a cup of coffee, lift at 14-15pm and then eat at 18pm
am I fucking potential muscle growth? I remember reading there's a bit to the pre and post work out meal thing that has some truth to it
Michael Hughes
candito stuff
answer is in the sticky
private projects
Ryder Cruz
You're going to make it. Lift and eat at maintenance and then when you're comfortable with gaining again just slowly gain muscle for the next year or two. Try to stay relatively lean, lose the abs but don't be too far away from them. Things will look better or your confidence will be normal.
Jaxon White
the sticky is outdated and does not correspond to most recent research
Juan Anderson
Cable Crossovers or DB Flyes for building chest?
Lucas Martinez
Threw up today before finishing my morning calisthenics. Just had a banana and a pint of milk before starting. How do I prevent this in the future?
Jaxon Cox
any decent meal that has all/most of the vitamins and minerals required? I dont want to take multivitamins
Owen Parker
I heard I could get that peterson self authoring thing either as a torrent or a megaupload link, but I haven't been able to find it... do i have to request it or is in a link in one of the generals?
Xavier Morris
I'm doing OHP and Incline bench press mon Wed Fri
What other upper body stuff can I do? I have a barbell and dumbbells. I cannot workout legs due to health problems for a few months.
Charles Hughes
Losing my virginity at 22 to a hooker tomorrow. Any tips?
Josiah Parker
I'm obese and i can't do my judo workout without getting winded up. I just picked up lifting. Should i do low intensity before starting Judo again or just tank it up until i have enough endurance?
Jack Martinez
Don't do it. It will ruin your idea of what sex is. Just make an ad on Craigslist looking for a mature woman who will take your virginity . She will help you learn the ropes.
Carter Morris
Bench regular and decline Chest supported rows Barbell row Incline dumbbell press There's a lot you can do
Adrian Morales
Right now I take a protein shake before the workout and just after. Should I have another one before sleeping? Google gives me mixed results.
Adam Flores
Oh I should've mentioned I'm a beginner.
Levi Parker
craiglist isnt that popular in east europe. Is it a problem if I fap now? Should I save up my cum for the whore?
Owen Martin
Normal to see noob gains stall while cutting?
Cameron Williams
Recently, I will sometimes experience pain in my upper left shoulder when I masturbate. This only started happening after I started doing OHPs.
Did I somehow injure my shoulder, or am I just masturbating too much?
Caleb Morales
Just lost my virginity 2 hours ago after 6 months of sl, I've allready made it is there any point of doing more?
Aaron Lewis
I keep surpassing my sodium limit by a lot. How do I lower my sodium
Henry Ramirez
Getting laid isn't making it you stupid fuck
John Bennett
There are two different types of protein, one is digested and absorbed very quickly (whey) and the other much more slowly. I forget the name of the latter type but that's what you want to have before bed, it'll continue to be used by the body all night. Milk has both types if I remember correctly.
Luke Perez
You need to keep your form right when doing OHP they will fuck you up if you do them wrong. Start with lower weight.
Owen Miller
Bumping.
Luis Adams
I bought it a while ago and I got an extra key, post your email and I'll send it
Juan Ramirez
you should really read the /advancedfitness post about how supersets may even be detrimental to your gains (strength OR hypertrophy) as it doesnt allow for full recruitment of muscle fibers etc
yes, tricep isolation has good carry over to bench strength considering its the secondary mover in the exercise, some people consider close grip bench as an additional exercise for better hitting the triceps however i would reccomend a more direct isolation perhaps skullcrushers/pullovers/cable pulldowns etc
Hunter Price
Thx
Brody Harris
has anyone had sucess with eyeballing, going by feel and shit like that on building a great physique? I cut down and look good for the first time in my life, a buffier version of ottermode(look good naked but dyel in clothes) and im gonna start bulking after I eat maintenance for two weeks but im fucking tired of counting kcals every fucking day, even just on eatring twice per day
current research in its simplest form is 1g/lb of bodyweight (although 1gm/lb of LBM is probably more realistic just be safe and go for 1g/lb bw) protein should be higher in a cut because it preserves LBM and is a longer metabolic process to convert and thus store as fat
look optimal muscle protein synthesis (MPS) is stimulated by approximately 40g protein every 3 hours, if you want to OPTIMALLY gain muscle then that's the way to do it, of course I would suggest you do it that way but up to you (this is the reason for before bed protein shakes of casein etc)
cable crossovers are safer by far and allow for greater contraction at peak
veges (cauliflower, broccoli, tomatoes, spinach etc), eggs, lean chicken breast puts you at very close if not complete profile of most micronutrients
before and after is good, before bed optimally mixed with milk or straight up casein powder is again optimal (although 80% of milk proteins are casein anyway) which is the slower 'releasing'/'absorbing' protein type better for the period of long starvation overnight
yes obviously, you arent providing the raw materials to build muscle, do you expect your body to summon it from thin air? Dont worry though noob gains dont expire and will keep going when you start eating properly again
Connor Hall
I eat a lot of the same shit, so I can eyeball my calories. You should be able to do the same if you count calories for a while.
Gabriel Martin
Second bump. Help a fatty out, please.
Kevin Ward
Hi maggot, do you know any variations of incline presses? I do incline db presses and standing landmine press. I dislocated my a/c joint a few years ago so I can't press overhead/incline with barbells anymore.
Lucas Watson
I feel more comfortable torrenting it, share it with your mother or something senpai.
Matthew Price
What's the most fun tricep workout
William Ortiz
What's your main goal? If you want to git gud at judo, do more cardio and less weightlifting (preferably low impact) so you can lose weight do judo for a longer period of time.
William Gomez
Is it ok if im here on /fit if ive only been lifting for a month and dont know all the cool lingo?
Ethan Allen
Is tea a gains goblin? Specifically Arizona. I'm starting body weight workouts until I can scrape up enough for a bench. I want to drink healthier but straight water makes me feel robotic.
David Ross
help me make an MMA conditioing routine. *burpees(500 a day) pushups(500-1000 trough the day) 1000 squats also dips and pullups maybe.
This is not counting fighting techniques,just the conditioning.
Ian Brown
i know this seems counter-intuitive but the EMG activity of chinups is good for upper chest and decline bench is considered an optimal replacement for incline bench because it much less stressing on the AC joint if its causing you pain/discomfort, overall if you are hitting the pectoral muscles you are hitting them all regardless of the exercise and personally based on the current literature I see no reason to do more than 1 upper chest focused exercise in a given routine
rippetoe makes reference to lying tricep ez-curl bar pullovers as considered the 4th powerlifting movement as it has more crossover than OHP to the other lifts, I would highly recommend them, the EMG activity is great and the burn is intense
liquid calories are dangerous depending on your goal, helpful really if you have trouble bulking but due to high glycemic index and reducing insulin sensitivity its a really good idea to cut them out for a multitude of reasons (type 2 diabetes and everything that comes with that etc) insulin is a powerful bodybuilding/muscle building factor and if yours is not working properly because you sip too many sugary beverages you are at a disadvantage
also drinking from plastic??? Its like you want to flood yourself with xenoestrogens and dont want gains
you'll pick it up quickly
Jace Campbell
if you just HAVE to fap, should you do it before or after your workout?
Nathaniel Rodriguez
how do i get in to tricking
Lincoln Morales
dont fap. dont be a libertine pig,bro.
Owen Adams
New to lifting, read the sticky, need help with my barbell row form. I notice my hips don't form as sharp of an angle as examples I've seen do. How do I correct this?
Jack Taylor
Am I wrong to include exercise in MyFitnessPal when I'm using a daily calorie figure based off of myTDEE, which presumably, already includes exercise as part of the figure?
Elijah Carter
dont arch your back toes must point forward rest belly between your thighs and pretend you're pregnant keep wrists straight *slaps your butt*
Jacob White
as other other user said, primarily fix your back and the belly tip is good
Austin Martin
Are large calves a blessing or a curse? I grew up obese, and I've since lost the weight, but the calves remain the same.
Caleb Rodriguez
What's a good frozen treat that's not frozen calories? It's hot here
Kevin Perez
Try getting lower, you look like you need to work on your ankle and hamstring mobility. Your back should not be arched at all, and it should be parallel with the floor.
Landon Nelson
Frozen berries with whipped cream.
Joseph Powell
when trying to create a calorie deficit, how effective is snaking on celery in between meals?
Matthew Carter
Calves are cute >you can show them like something average People can't get
Blake Robinson
Will I an hero my shoulders if I do dips on gymnastics rings or is that just a meme
John Flores
I've been working out for a month on a PHUL routine after sitting on my ass for ~4 years.
My weights are up slightly but I still look like shit. I don't expect to be ripped by a month, but I just want to make sure I'm taking the right approach and not fucking anything up. If a month is too short of a time to see results thats amazing news.
Charles Baker
How can I keep my back from arching? I'm pushing my chest out to the max, but it still won't straighten.
Henry Adams
Suggestions for how to improve ankle/hamstring mobility?
Dominic Campbell
A month is too short to see any results, especially at that high body fat. I'd suggest cutting first my dude.
Jordan Miller
What are some easy to make meals for bulking? I'm not very good at cooking which is making hitting my macros hard.
Sebastian Lewis
Limber 11 and rolling your feet out.
Joshua Harris
For reference: 100g protein 61g fat 222 crabs 1868 calories
Xavier Long
will I die if I train fasted and only eat like 2 hours after lifting? I have no hunger
Zachary Martin
Where's the advanced fitness post (not the user from the question)
Cooper Torres
Good to know, I'm currently cutting (not from July 12), but the last place I'm losing fat is my beer gut.
Caleb Adams
you need way more than 1800 cals and 100g protons for bulking (unless you're 5'6)
Austin Reyes
I'm shorter than that so
Justin Ward
Keep a banana or two in the freezer. Not fridge, FREEZER.
Blend it with milk and a scoop of chocolate protein.
BAM, God-tier frozen treat.
Nathaniel Williams
Yeah the human body is gay like that. Keep cutting and you'll see results and feel like a sikk kunt
Adrian Thompson
My main goal is weight loss and getting more endurance so i can get good at Judo, since i can't do much without getting tired. What to do?
disregard the fact its reddit and acknowledge that advanced fitness is exactly what you are looking for if you want to get deeper into fitness
Kevin Wright
So I've just joint a gym near me, after doing strength routines on and off from about the age of 17 at home. 20 now.
What's some gym etiquette, should I really wipe down the bench after I've used it? I dunno if I wanna get other people's sweat n germs n shit on my towel too.
Other than that I'm doing starting strength and I feel as though I'm not getting as much of a pump as I was from ICF 5x5, but I am only on day 1 of phase 1 I guess. I'll wait for things to pick up with the chin ups/ weighted chins and see how I'm looking then, also intermediate routine progression
Cooper Sanders
Ive been on a cut the last 3 or 4 months and ive lost 10 with my current weight being about 87lg at 6ft. Ive read things saying I should keeo cutting until my entire stomach is defined but when will I know when that is? Ive gone from a size L to now bordering in size small and Im wary that if I lose much more Ill be too small. Should I keep cutting to get to my goal weight (about 80kg) or switch now to a maintenance/lean bulk diet.
Evan Bailey
I should add I want to look like this
Jackson Flores
You guys reckon this is around 18% body fat or so? I thought was I still 20%+ because I realized that I have kinda big hips and its all not fat. Maybe I'm closer to 14-15% body fat than I originally, which was sorta my original goal to start lean bulking
Dominic Morris
>wanting to be a nigger
Gabriel Adams
Bump
Chase Harris
Thanks breh
Connor Lopez
Do I still look like I rattle when I walk around? I thought I had virtually no lats but I just took these pictures and my back looks wider than I imagined (you know, I don't look at myself from behind too often). What is the next thing that would improve the way my upper body looks the most? Lower back? Abs? Chest?
>do squats I will when I muster the courage to ask for the rack
Ryder Brooks
What are you guys eating while cutting? Anybody have a shopping list?
Kayden Long
I GOT BLOOD DRAWN 4 FUCKING DAYS AGO AND MY ARM IS STILL SORE AND IT HURTS TO CURL OR EVEN PRESS ANYTHING HOW THE FUCK DO I FIX THIS
