I want to get from benching 225 for sets of 5 to benching 225 for sets of 8, and focusing on hypertrophy at that weight range. Do I keep following a strength program to get my reps up? What's my best way to progress to that.

what are some decent online gym shops in EU?
looking at gymshark and got quite interested in the water jug, their long sleeves and shirts

Repostin'

Does anyone have any good resources for fixing uneven soldiers? As a kid in high school, I used to carry heavy loads on my right shoulder exclusively for three years. Apart from switching to carrying all loads onto my left shoulder for the foreseeable future, does anyone have any advice, because this really fucking sucks. Also, I have uneven hips.

Tips on improving upper body SS program:

> bench press/press 4x10 @ 70% of working load after regular 3x5 sets
> adding weighted chin-ups 5x5 every training session
> lateral raises and curls 5x15 every training sessions as well
> doing cable rows as conditioning on non-training days except sunday

Just lift. Srs. Don't go for dumbelss or anything silly. Do a basic beginner routine, bw conscious of your form, stretch, and in no time you will be balanced.

Happy to hear that is a solution, since that's what I am doing.

>wear glasses
>always have to take them off before I do something athletic

Should I get contacts? I've never had them before, or should I just try and get eye surgery?

Any user's with higher blood pressure? I sit around 130's/60's before my workout. Any recommendations, or do you think it's white coat syndrome?

130/60? do you mean 130-60/whatever?

In the past if I nofapped for any amount of time, I'd get a gloop at most. This is the first time I've shot ropes. Is she a succubus?

Contacts are for girls and insecure fags. Get pic relatee instead.

Upper number is in the 130s, lower number is in the 60s. Systolic(?)/diastolic(?)

my goal is to build as much muscles as possible (i am dyel as fuck). Just started it
I found this PPLPPLx programm in pic related. It focuses on heavy compound lifts and later on short breaks in between sets with lower weight.
Description:
t’s important that you keep track of your timing in between sets – not only to optimize muscle growth but also to prevent you from being in the gym forever. I program my accessory work with high volumes and rest-pause because I believe it’s an effective way to trigger muscle growth in a short period of time while allowing me to leave the gym with a nice pump.


the pic only shows the first PPL routine, the second can be seen in the link
muscleandstrength.com/workouts/6-day-powerbuilding-split-meal-plan

is my programm good for building mass? i just started a week ago.

Don't know if it's related, but I'm: 6'2, 195, 17%bf

130/60ish is not that bad (yet). what's you age? do you eat meat/dairy/eggs?

however having a 70 gap (normal is 30-40) at not such a high pressure, means you have a relatively high pulse pressure.

it could be genetic but it could also mean some serious shit is going on with your heart and/or arteries. if these are your typical numbers i'd get checked out by a specialist

(medfag)

Can Veeky Forums tell me if I understand this correctly?
In order to lift heavier, I need to accumulate more body mass. For more mass, I need to eat more. I continue and repeat this until I'm content with my lifts then I cut for aesthetics. Sound right?

>In order to lift heavier, I need to accumulate more body mass
Well sort of. Lifting increasingly heavier weights is what stimulates your body to want to build muscle. This added muscle will in turn make it easier to keep lifting increasingly heavier weights. But for it all to happen, there has to be a surplus of energy i.e. your nutrtition has to be on point.
If you're getting fat however, you're pushing up your bodyweight too quickly.

Is meditation a meme?

Ah, I understand. The trouble I having is increasing my lifts. I can't go to failure since I don't have a spotter. I've noticed my weight increasing but no noticeable body fat difference. My biceps have grown and my thighs have tightened. I suppose visible change takes time. I'm on my 4th month of lifting but I'm optimistic with the results I have now.

I have severe problems with my wrist. Sometimes I cannot put any pressure on it when bended at all. Push ups are a no go since it hurts too much.

Is this some fucked up wrist syndrome or can I stretch this out? Dumbbels are fine, so long as I do not bend at the wrist.

This will undoubtably sound retarded, but when people tell you to cut all sugars from your diet, does that mean that you also give up on fruit like bananas, peaches or apples? Or stuff like onions that also contain sugar

>The trouble I having is increasing my lifts
Same as everybody else then.
Almost everything there is to know about resistance training is theory, tweaks, tricks, and methods on how to increase your lifts. That is literally what it's all about.

If you're having trouble, you can either start studying to find out what's not working. Or you can get on a proven routine. There are many available for free.

cut out obvious suger like soda and shit, no need to go total autist about it. Some suger in forms of fruit is ok, but don't eat fruit all day. Keep it simple sonny cmon.

Appreciate it man

these are high in fiber, water and micronutrients. you won't get fat from fruits
the bad thing about table sugar is that it's half fructose wich is the bad stuff. sugar in fruits are usually more than half fructose, but there is far less of it in it. Don't worry about it

upper/lower routine 4x week with only 1 rest day interval(u1xl1xu2xl2xu1xetc...) or a ppl 5x week?

Should I deadlift once or twice a week? right now I do it twice a week

I'm 21 years old and

Measured today during my workout and it said I was 124/70. It seems like I fluctuate a lot. I don't think it's genetic that I know of, and the most recent time I went to the doc they mentioned something about stress.

what does it mean when you eat so much that your belly starts to ache?
Happens a lot when I go to a friends house and we all eat a shit load of food, a lot of meat and pizza.
I just eat and eat because it seems hunger never ends then eventually tell myself to stop and once I do, shortly, my stomach starts to ache.

wonder if its from fasting till that

Please rate/critique this

>Also, I have uneven hips.
Check with a doctor, it might go all the way down to the feet and be fixable.

I need to drop some weight been bulking for last year, and im sick of it i just want to drop down 10-15kg and be athletic.

I have been working manual labor 5 days a week the last two weeks, and cut my calories significantly i have not been the gym in this time due to time constraints but is there any harm dropping calories low and not lifting for a short period of time.

Next week i am gonna start a PPL split aim for 5x a week.

Will daily meditation really make that much of a difference?

How difficult should farmers walks be? Right now I'm going heavy enough that the weight is slipping out of my hands during my second and third sets. Should I try going a bit lighter and holding them for longer?

>I just eat and eat because it seems hunger never ends then eventually tell myself to stop and once I do, shortly, my stomach starts to ache.
There's a slight delay between you eating something and the stomach sending a signal to your brain like "hey dude we are full here, thanks for the meal breh"

So if you eat fast, you end up consuming food in that period between your stomach getting full and the signal being sent

Just eat slowly, fatty

>So if you eat fast, you end up consuming food in that period between your stomach getting full and the signal being sent

makes sense, I've actually been chewing slowly since I used to eat so quick. Can even appreciate food more

>fatty
I'm shredded m8

I did it for 30 days in a row once, and by the end, I found it relaxing, and for a little while afterwards I had fewer intrusive thoughts. Just for five minutes a day.

Any user here that cut from a high bodyfat (18-20%) post bulk? I'm going to have some pretty high BF after my bulk right now and my cut to abs will be reaally long.
A cut at 0.5kg/wk will be really long as I'll have ~13kg to lose. That's about 6 months, I can't imagine myself cutting for 6 months as I've already spent so much time cutting from failed bulks.

Any general advice for long cuts, and if I even should cut for that long?

I work out, eat healthily, and get 7-8 hours of sleep a night. I even take vitamin pills to make sure I'm not deficient in anything. Why the hell am I tired all the time?

been on keto for 5week or so. how bad would be one night out and medicore drinking be? would it propel me out of keto and reset everything? anything to lessen the effect (except not drinking at all)?

What kind of a gun do I chew for a beg jaw? Is it buyable in yurop?

>gun
*gum

Anything 45 ACP
Ak rounds tear up cheek walls too much

pic related is what im going to do, except U1xL1xU2xL2xU1x etc...

Is this fine? like harmony through pull/push and muscles trained?

Would like to introduce weighted dips which I love but no idea if I should take tricep pushdown or skullcrushers, was thinking the latter

join and ask if you dont feel like making a post, will be glad to help.

Hard to say.

Try putting an entire day of eating into Cronometer (which displays a lot more micronutrients than myfitnesspal) to see what microelements you may be missing. A multivitamin isn't a definitive "I'm not deficient in anything". I've had good results with supplementing 4kIU/day of Vit D.


You could download a snoring app to see if you snore at night (or have sleep apnoea). Apart from that perhaps read up on sleep quality (sleeping in a pitch black room etc.)

Get some bloodwork done. I can't really recommend you what to check so you'll have to research yourself.

Mew chews mastic gum. It's supposedly really hard but it's also rather expensive for a pack of gum.
Regular Orbit gum ... well gets kinda soft after a while, but you can take 4 Orbit or similar gums and chew them like that for a better effect.

I am in my 5th week of SS and my deadlift is only 255lbs. I am already having issues pulling with double overhand so I usually have to switch to mix grip by the 4th or 5th reps.

Is this normal? I feel like that's pretty low to be losing grip.

Bump. For farmer walks, should I do heavy weight and short duration, or lighter weight with longer duration?

Not terrible... Is it even"borderline"?

How do weightlifting belts work and when do I start to need them?

how can I make salad lose volume?
I like to eat a bag of pre-packed mix of salad and arucula but fuck me do I need a huge bowl and even then I cant mix things properly

bump

My main concern is that it seems high for the level of activity i've been doing/plan to do. I'm just trying to see if anyone here had something that worked for them.

Every time I jog my leg hurts it's in my knee and side of my quad. What do? I need to jog too.

Get stronger. You don't need to worry about "strength-endurance" NFL combine style stuff unless you're going for 15+ reps.

How much/what type of cardio on a stationary bike should I do after lifting for fat loss?

New to Veeky Forums. Today was my first day trying to do squats at the gym. No weights except for the bar.

By the end of my 3x5 set, I felt some pain in my lower right back. I'm pretty sure it was due to not keeping my back straight.

Any advice on how to keep my back straight and maintain proper squat form? I don't want to fuck my back up.

Do you know how many am I suppose to chew, more or less?
I looked up mastic and it's like, 32 euros a pack of 60, kinda tough.

I have a exercise stress test coming up. Have any of you ever done it? I read its just EKG on a treadmill. I just ran 3 miles in 24 minutes and my heart was stuck at 185, is that good?

I have high blood pressure and doctors use it as a warning sign but I just lift every day on top of manual labor so my body is probably just compensating for that.

myprotein, I have their half gallon jug and it's nice.. lmfao gymshark prices are a joke (almost all online gym shops are but still, like 50 b ucks or something for a fucking shirt)

problem I got with myprotein is their fucking logo thats really visible and ugly
also have had 3 sweatpants so far and they've all become too thin and gained holes in the crotch area not to mention sagging on the quad area

Peozis seems good.

>peozis
*Prozis, I can't write tonight.

If there is a mirror in front of the squat rack, I find it helps to look yourself in the eyes if your struggling to keep your back straight. If you're worried about your knees, looking towards your hips in the mirror kind of helps.

I find Zercher squats more comfortable than the standard front squat grip. Am I missing anything by swapping front squats for Zercher squats in a routine?

Bump

Is there actually any merit to the idea that growing a certain muscle you used in your youth will be easier?
I used to swim a lot from 10-15~ and I find that lats are easily the muscles that grow the easiest for me. I'm quite asymmetrical in that respect.

Did you tell them you exercise regularly, they should be doing a tilt test

Yeah i told them. Looked it up, I guess its just speed walking on an incline? Sounds ez

this sunday I'll be at a friends house, were a shit ton of people since a lot of us will be going to uni or elsewhere so it might be the last chance to be all together, were all going to bring our food, we usually have BBQ but it's so many and they're all going to be stoned so were just gonna have some pizzas and mcdonalds

anyways, what I wanted to ask was simply what's an easy grilling only meal that I can make? will be bringing my small electric grill but got no clue for side dish
I'll grill some chicken thighs as the main and have a whole pizza

Do the fucking program.

No.

Twice a week until you can't recover enough to do so and keep adding weight every session.

Short periods, no risk.

Yes.

Lulz

Stupid number of accessory lifts.

Try hook grip. It'll take some getting used to.

So fucking what?

Do not do this. You can't see, process, analyze, and correct a form issue in a mirror.

No.

What is a good beginners program for aesthetics and bodybuilding? I was looking at 5x5 but honestly guys i dont know shit about programs and routines

Sup guys?

So I've been back in the gym seriously scince about April of this year, and started at about 190 pounds.

After doing a dedicated cut for a few months I got to my original goal weight of 165ish and have been hovering around there scince.

I am now at 161 and am thinking about cutting another 10 pounds rather than bulking right away.

My end goal would be to cut to around 150 which would take about 2 weeks max, then steady clean bulk back up to 175 over the course of the winter or however long it takes....

What do you guys think? Should I start bulking now, or try and scrape off a little more body fat? My only two concerns are health, and actually Losing muscle mass and strength.

My girlfriend is 140 pounds. I want to be able to lift her up and fuck her. What lifts should I be doing to prepare for this? I was thinking Diddlys, Squiddleys, weighted sit ups, and calf raises. I'm not sure what I would need to train for the weight endurance though? Should I just high rep / low weight squiddlys?

Oh Yeah and I'm about 5'10 And 21

>Stupid number of accessory lifts.

I'm not doing a strength routine

Anyone have any good breakfast ideas for pescetarians? I've been going with a salad drizzled with olive oil alongside two scrambled eggs and a tin of four sardines. It's solid, but it's getting old, so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for anything close to that, in terms of nutritional values.

Clearly.

two hardboiled eggs, cheese, little smear of avocado on anenglish muffin

I just finished around an year of SL, couldn't go too heavy on squats and deadlifts because of scoliosis. **And i'm only stopping SL because my doctor told me to stop doing squats**
Can I get a decent reccomendation for a thrice a week PPL routine?

everything bagel+ cream cheese+ lox+ capers+ fresh dill+ fried egg on top

That sounds awesome.

why are you cutting in september bruh? clean bulk is the way to go, then get shredded for summer.

you need something besides saturated fat and cholesterol for breakfast

I guess cause I'm kinda on a roll and I know it would be easy to do...plus that would be the lightest I've been in years so I kinda just wanna do it to say I can

would a 5day PPL be good? I want a mix of strength and hypertrophy progression(keep on making progress on the compound movements and then acessories) and it seems like it would be garbage for strength department

my main lifts are all past intermediate stage, some even hit advanced but lost it when I shredded down to 11%bf

anyone here with proper knowledge that can handle a hand?

Is it worth doing heavy weighted chin negatives? I do a plate at 180 bodyweight for 5x5, but ive had a lot of trouble getting my numbers up. Im wondering if I do my regular sets and then finish off with a couple sets of 2+ plate negatives if it would help

Anyone else like to wear panties when they lift?

This is my routine, it's similar, but with less accessories.

I just followed aworkoutroutine program and switched some exercises like trading the leg press for front squat

the abs I obviously wont be doing them all maybe thats why youre all saying its too much, I thought about simply 1 exercise(cable wood choppers since I dont have cables at home) and the rest on rest days back at home
OR just go to the gym on rest day for a quick ab work and some cardio

anyways, how did it work/is working for you?

Would you guys really recommend against SS? I can't get a feel for what people on here really recommend. I'm a beginner and wanted to start with SS but constantly I see people saying bro splits are even better than SS also PPL or whatever it's called.

still on first week and opted for a PPL (push, pull, legs) instead of SS. I like being in the gym 6/7 days a week but have killed DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness? I think) hopefully that will pass within the next few months but yeah, seems more effective than SS

I don't care so much about being in the gym that much. If I'm cutting and doing SS three times a week that seems sufficient?

The routine is from the Eric Helms book "The Muscle and Strength Pyramid Training".
It looks like this guy knows what he's talking about, I learned a lot from that book.
But, I've been on the program only for 2 months on a cut, so.. I don't know if I can prove to you that it's a "good program" or if it's effective, but I've been increasing my lifts decently I think.

what are the chances of smoking a bit of weed bringing back my anxiety, panic attacks, mind foggyness and all that back?

A week ago I ran ~4km with sprints in between, now it feels like my shins hurt when I walk at any speed above walking and it isn't getting any better.
What is this? Can I remedy it?

down from 343 to 285...been stuck here for weeks,what tf?still IF(at a 1000 calorie deficit),still lifting 5days and h.i.i.t cardio 6 days and nothing.is this a plateau? wheres my whoosh? should i just end it all and go back to /r9k/?

I had a smoothie with 2 scoops of whey for breakfast, then I had a one scoop at lunch and I'm about to have a 3rd. I don't think there's anything wrong with that but is there any real danger in consuming this much protein in powder form?

How heavy should I be doing farmers walks? Right now I'm using 60 pound dumbbells and they keep slipping out of my hands.

Probably shin splits. Try foam rolling
