Can anyone offer me the simplest no bake protein bar recipes/ideas? Currently searching.

Bonus points if they don't require protein powder. Provide nutritional info too.

Fried chicken breast

Does leg press build muscle? As in, enough to get decent aesthetic legs that aren't out of proportion compared to upper body?

I don't do regular barbell squats

About a cup each of peanut butter (melted in the microwave), condensed milk, and oats. Mix it all up, spread evenly in a greased baking sheet, let it set in the fridge. Slice into bars.

These are all I got for bars. Have other recipes for cookies and brownies tho if you are interested.

Thanks dude. Definitely keep them coming. I'll take a look at them all

If I'm cutting, and I'm having trouble getting protein, is it aught to sub one of my meals with protein shake?

What are some cheap workout clothing brands?
I like running shorts but I fucking hate the ones with mesh trunks in them. I have a pair of asics ones that have a polyester lining in them and they're phenomenal. Anyone know of some brands that offer this?

Pull exercises for legs that aren't deadlifts?

In a pinch sure. Make sure you get a good powder and read the ingredients list. Actual food is better, but powder is second best aka worst

I know slazenger is cheap as hell

So I didn't calculate my TDEE, I just need to lose weight, so I decided to follow 1600 calories diet and started Stronglifts. Theoretically is that enough provided I can follow the diet? Is 1600 calories enough or is it too few? Also, biking in between lifting days, is that okay to do?

damn they are, Sadly, their shorts have mesh lining.

how long would it take to get from 20% to 15% bodyfat at a 1000cal deficit

If you're texting some qt and they are responding. Is it safe to say they don't mind you? Been like that for a few weeks, I've tried to make a move but she's iffy. Sometimes it's short answers, sometimes its cool. Need some input.

What are some good low maintainence ways to get a light tan? I'm not looking to be brown just have a big of a "glow." I'm considering either a spray tan or a tanning bed. Any recommendations? Do I really have to get a spray tan redone every week to maintain it? Also, do I really need to use a tanning bed every week?

No, they could just be being polite. If they are hesitant to meet up then that's def what it is.

Hey, I'm going to x this friday/saturday, wanna join me?

>no and doesn't reschedule
just give up senpai
>no but asks for reschedule
say ok but tell her to fuck off if she blows it off again
>yes
wow you did it, you might get laid and/or move forward with her socially.

Im autistic but this shit's easy desu

Tanning bed will look a little more natural. Dated a girl who spray tanned and it looked ok, but it comes off on your sheets. How about layinthesun x5 for like 15mins

go outside for 15-30 minutes buck ass naked and you will get nice healthy tan, you can thank me later for the test gain too.

Don't have any place to lay out and it's a cloudy time of year right now.

I don't have a fence in backyard. I'm in a college apartment.

Tanning bed if you can. Do it weekly.

Hopefully the god's shine down. Ill ask one last time.

I seriously need help. Every since I started deadlifting, my left hip has hurt. It hurt most right after I finished the set. It felt like a strong pulling sensation.
I stopped DL for many months now, and I still have lingering pain if I lay on one side or am sitting at a weird angle.

What did I fucking do? Eveything online only talks about sciatic nerve pain, but it's not that (my glutes and leg feel no pain). Please help

Additional info:
It hurt even at low weight (so obv it is something in ym form)
I did not sumo
I foam rolled for a month or so to get it to go away.

Can I get a way with only going once every two weeks if I don't want that deep of a tan?

Stiff legged deadlifts, hamstring curls

Despite all the facts, my gf still won't lift weights and has tasked me with coming up with a good calisthenics program. What are some good places to start?

Is deloading a meme? I'm on SS and I have reset my squat three times already and everytime it's when I hit 205lbs. I can sometimes get 3x3 while other days I can barely squat it twice. Which is weird because I can squat 195 for 3x5 consistently.

Wtf is going on here? Why am I hitting this wall? Is there a better method for handling deloads?

No. Deloading is not a meme.

As you continue to train, you will accumulate fatigue. It is wise to take a step back every now and again to allow your body to recover from this.

Typically having to deload your squat more than once whilst being unable to squat 220lb (assuming you are a male) is a sign of poor form, diet, sleep or some combination of these.

Are Squats + Romanian deadlifts enough to work your legs? I mean alternating them on a 5 days workout.

This is what drives me crazy. My form from an outward perspective looks good. Even at 195 my spine is neutral, no buttwink, below parallel, bar over mid foot, no tipping forward. I think I just can't get bracing right. I seem to lose everything when I try to reverse momentum and come out if the hole. I have never once felt my glutes do anything in the squat either even though I'm cueing myself to squeeze them.


I am a male btw a getting rather frustrated at my own weakness

yes, in fact it's better for quad hypertrophy than squats
yes
I just buy cheap clothes on Amazon
depends on your weight and how much exercise you do, make sure you get enough protein and micronutrients
biking is good
depends on your weight, fat is around 3500kcal per pound so just compute how much 5% of your weight is and multiply by 3500 to get calories, then divide by 1000 to work out the number of days

>no bake
Mate....., check the classic here: >the first time I saw this blonde was in a House M.D. episode....., a hotness already.

74kg and 1.66m. The only exercise I've been doing lately is lifting, the Stronglifts routine to be more precise, so Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Nothing else. Any advice?

Pls to help, I wanna start tomorrow

Is this the best PPL split for a newbie (4 months, didn't knew Veeky Forums then) lifters? Just realized my new gym PT a shit.

reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/37ylk5/a_linear_progression_based_ppl_program_for/

>inb4 >rebbit

relevant google result m8s, and after all, I'm asking for suggestions
Why PPL? because I have time (and desire) to hit the gym 5 -6 days a week.

What does it mean when a masseuse only offers "manual release"?

I just drank a beer with my dinner. (I'm German btw so by a beer I mean a 1 liter mass)

Is it unwise to head to the gym now?

Probably

Seconded.

I have a pretty busy job and sometimes don't get much of a break. Oats, milk, whey and peanut butter. After cutting put in fridge for 24hours then enjoy!

Squatting on Smith Machine. How low do I go?

I'm using a Life Fitness treadmill at the gym and while running it keeps screaming "Need heart rate keep hands on bar" and after I scan it, it asks again immediately after. It shuts down if I don't scan again.
How do I shut it off? I can't run while holding onto the bar

don't squat on a smith machine. don't know what possesses people to continue doing that dumb shit
do a regular barbell squat or at least something like a belt squat. go at least until your legs are parallel with the ground

try focusing on pulling the bar into your back and pressing your back into the bar as you push out of the bottom of the squat. you want your whole upper back to be VERY tight with the bar against it.

New to lifting here. Why is my lower body so shit compared to my upper body?

I can do bench presses, OHPs, and rows with little to no problems, but I can't do the proper form for squats and deadlifts to save my life.

Are sweet fruits such as apples okay to eat, or should I be concerned about the fructose? Would it be okay to get raw fruits to snack on?

If you can't do squats properly, chances are you have weak glutes. When I started lifting I had shitty squat form that only activated my quads. When someone showed me how to do it properly and actually use my glutes, I was so weak I couldn't do a proper bodyweight squat without falling over. Try bodyweight exercises like bridges to improve your glutes.

Veeky Forums am I the only one that has trouble swallowing pills? It just feels so unnatural any way on how to make it easier?

As long as you're eating enough they'll grow.

Volume is king for hypertrophy so adding more helps as long as you can recover in time to hit legs twice a week (assuming natty)

can I achieve a body like justin lascek by doing a 5 day routine where the first two days are lower heavy and upper heavy and the rest another lower and a push and finally a pull ?

doing strength routines as a natty feels like wont do shit in terms of looks

Not much you can do, just have to accept it and try to overcome the urge to resist.

I hate it too but i just fill my mouth with water, drop the pill in and swallow real quick. It's always uncomfortable for me but I can get it down in one gulp now.

Same user you replied to here. I actually do bridges before I work out.

Also, I don't know if I'm doing squats wrong. I'm not sure how to record myself doing so either, so I can check my form anyway.

Deadlifts are the biggest concern for me, because I'm pretty sure I hurt my back doing so.

This one's about leg day.

Current routine:
Squats 3x5
Leg Press 3x8
Leg Extension 3x12
Hamstring Curls 3x12
Back Extension 3x10
Calf Press 5x15

So my question is, is it more beneficial to do the leg press as I have it or instead sub it out and keep doing squats, deloading to hit 3x8? It's fucking annoying to load 10 plates onto the leg press at my gym and there's only ONE good leg press machine out of the 3 at my gym.

How long did it take to achieve this skill I guess ill start doing this now

This probably deserves its own thread, but do you think you'd be able to pull a girl over Chad if he had to run game with a massive load of freshly-pooped poop in his underwear?

Hook it up with the brownie recipe mate

Not him but i just chew up a few cheerios and pop in some pillz and swallow them together. It helps if you actually want to take the pill like adderall or xanz or something

You'll have to make that decision based on how brown you wana be. If you go weekly you'll be dark

Anybody here have experience with doing stomach vacuums consistently? Do they really do much for your core stability/aesthetics?

I got
>Fortify 3-Phase carb complex
>BCAA intra-workout
>Excel R8 pre-workout

I was told by a lift bro I shouldn't take pre and post on the same day.

Basically, what's the most efficient way to take my supplements to get the best gainz?

I started doing bodyweight situps a while back. About a week ago, I do a shitton to exhaustion. It's a week later and I can't crank out a single one. No pain, no discomfort, I just can't sit up.

What am I looking at here?
Pic unrelated.

I overrate last Wednesday and I'm still carrying a shit ton of water weight. What the fuck, I didn't eat _that_ much to still be bloated. It's covering my muscles and I look like utter shit.

How long until I'm back to normal?

The so-called carb complex is a worse waste of money than just throwing your money out the window of a moving car. Same goes for the BCAA.
If you simply eat normal food, you'll be 100% covered in these areas.

As for that pre-workout product. Well, if you don't mind taking an amphetamines-like designer stimulant on a regular basis, despite the fact that you'll build tolerance in no time, become phychologically dependant on it, and that it's most likely unhealthy as fuck - go ahead and keep using it.

If one day of overeating makes you loke like utter shit, you have bigger problems.

More importantly, is there a way to fix this? I want my abs back.

I found this in an article recently. I asked a running friend if it was bullshit, and he explained it was very poorly phrased: that working at lower heart rate uses fat for fuel, while a higher heart rate uses more glycogen instead of fat.

I still don't entirely buy that but at least it seems reasonable.

Anyway: I'm fat and my cardio sucks. Should I try to stick to zone 3 to burn fat first, zone 4 to improve cardio, or HIIT to supposedly do both?

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but here are some facts for you...

Cycling for 60 minutes+ at a reasonable intensity has indeed been shown to raise cortisol levels, simply because the body's glycogen levels are becoming depleted. Note that this is from 60+ minutes of continuous work with no breaks. If you wish to avoid this, you can ingest carbs intra-workout. However, transient increases in cortisol will not make you fat - in fact quite the opposite as cortisol mobilizes fat stores. That's the reason it raises in the first place in this situation.

The "fat burning zone" was a myth that was around for a while. It is technically true that while working at a lower intensity, the body uses mainly fat as fuel. But here's the deal: it doesn't matter at all what your body uses as fuel for whatever cardio you do, because throughout the day you're constantly mobilizing and building your fat stores. Think of the day as tiny periods of cutting (between meals) and bulking (when eating). One type of cardio may very well rely mostly on fat, but at the same time you're adding fat to your body earlier and later that day. It does not matter. What matters is the energy balance i.e. how many calories you expend. At the end of the day if your energy balance has been negative, you'll have mobilized and burned more fat than otherwise, regardless of which activities used what as fuel.

Anything that gets your heart rate going will give you metabolic adaptations and increase your cardiovascular health.

Can anyone recommend me a good dumbbell strength training routine that doesn't include deadlifts? Sqauts are okay.

I have a back injury and my doctor said that because of it that I should avoid deadlifts but can do squats. Also, that I should use dumbbells instead of barbells because of the injury.

I have dumbbell bars that take standard weight plates instead of fixed dumbbells and micro plates so I can increase the weight of each dumbbell incrementally. I also have a flat bench for doing things like bench press etc.

if it fits your macros/calories target
Dont go overboard on fruit, but they do have useful micronutrients and fibre

Still could be sciatic nerve. Mine did exactly that from running with poor form. Google yoga stretches for that problem. I did 3 or 4 and it helped immensely.

Any advice from former/current users on LGD-4033 + Cardarine? Heard it works wonders.

Guys,
Any opinion on the "Frequency Method" or greasing the goose from Greyskull LP?
I don't really get how doing a lot of push ups or chin ups in small sets accross the day is going to make me stronger or more muscular (assuming I can already do 15 chin ups in a row and 25 push ups).
The ebook doesn't provide any proof, scientifical or circumstantial. Rather it uses rhetorics, just asking "would some one who do this looks better?" which is by no mean a proof that it has any kind of usefulness.
Thanks!

need recs for accessories with my 5x5
just 3 lifts per workout doesn't feel like nearly enough

Not using prot powder will make it a fat or carb bars with protein.
I personally use something simpler than most recipes provided.
300ml non fat milk
140ml water (no more)
300g iso pro (my protein)
Mix.
Add 500g peanut butter (my protein)
Mix with a sturdy spoon
Add 500 of oats (instant, of grounded rolled oats)
Mix with hands for at least 5 minutes (rather it's the time it will take you to do it.

Put some cooking paper into a baking pan, put the mixture in it and leave it in the fridge for several hours, or better yet in the freezer for 2 hours (just to cool it down, it shouldn't freeze yet.
Then, cut your bars out of it. Now obviously the macros will change depending on the size of the bars. I usually make 32 out of this. Macros are 195Cals, 16g of protein.
You can obviously use any brand, and less pure whey and adjust with less oats to produce the same result in terms of macro.

i drink a gallon of water a day why am I so thirsty?

Are you new? If so, wait a bit 'till you push yourself to the limits.
Add Dips/chin ups and EZ bar skullcrushers/curls. 2x8~12

What the fuck are they putting in the water!?

I was involved in a car accident early this year (car flipped a couple times). I haven't lifted in 9 months, I'm supposed to be all good bone wise but I sometimes still feel stiffness in my back near left shoulder blade. Should I just say fuck it and start lifting again? I'm scared squats or something that involves the back will fuck my shit up. What would y'all do?

ask a doctor you daft fool

I'd ask ask my doctor to refer me to a specialist instead of asking Veeky Forums.

Pushups or Chin-ups. Which ones are better?

They are different. They work different shit.

so just alternate them or are they cool to do on the same day.

How do I into yuuuge triceps? CGBP ruins my recovery from other presses, skullcrushers and other isolation stuff fucks my elbow thoroughly once I reach considerable weights or reps, cannot do dips or closegrip pushups because strongfat cunt with a fragile shoulder. HALP

unironically r/bodyweightfitness for strength and skill and darebee.com for le memecardio toning. still work on getting her to lift eventually

either deep tissue myofascial massage or a handjob happy end. only one way to find out.

>greasing the goose
>goose
boy I kekd

As for your question, volume intensity frequency are proportionally related, if you are no 300lbs, bodyweight stuff has less intensity so by upping volume and frequency you can still assist your lifting gains with it and greatly improve work capacity and if needed fat loss without fucking your recovery to hell and back.

is there a Veeky Forums approved push pull routine?

I remember making these years ago when I was still dyel, they are super sticky and impossible to take with you as a snack. Tasted pretty good though.

Do cable tricep pulldowns or change to a tight-grip bench until you are strong enough to do dips.

Just eat oats.

Start working out and introduce exercises like deadlifts and squats slowly. Ditch the vanity lifting and focus 100% on good form, then you can decide if you want to slowly increase weight if your body feels up to the task.

You are not going to get anywhere doing bodyweight exercises. Chin-ups is the objectively better exercise of the two, you'll lift more weight and engage more important muscles (your back), pull-us are superior.

>cable tricep pulldowns
fucks elbows too
>tight-grip bench
you mean as a main benching movement (because otherwise it fucks with my recovery)? That might actually work, and ruin my strength goals for a while too, but who cares at this point.

And I will never really be able to do dips if I dont cut down to 120lbs and/or get shoulder surgery, both of which I cant really see happening if I can avoid it. But thanks m8

>you mean as a main benching movement (because otherwise it fucks with my recovery)?
Swap out regular bench with a tight grip version, or simply rotate them. If you can't do tricep isolation exercises the logical answer would be to do a heavy tricep compound and then add on chest isolation instead (dumbbells, flyes). Wide bench is a mediocre chest exercise to start with.

THEY'RE TURNING THE FRICKIN FROGS GAY

Early stages of diabetes.

Do some stretches and consider that it might be a placebo. I read once that fatty foods cause constipation then got constipated for a long ass time. Went to the doctor and apparently I was just tricking myself.

People think it's good to do calisthenics full body but it's not.

Is this good for a chubby begginner going down to 19%bf from 23%?
