Cursed for eternity

I think pain when foam rolling is quite normal, especially after you've really punished your muscles, nothing to worry about.

but what I would worry about is squatting every other day, that seems a bit too much, not leaving you enough time to rest and regenerate properly imo

>does anyone have a good way to make sure I'm actually activating chest on bench? I try to maintain good form but I mostly feel it in arms and shoulders.
It's literally impossible to not activate your chest during the bench press. The degree to which you activate your pecs though can vary. There are a couple of things you can do.

1. You can flare your elbows more and/or try to drop your elbows lower to get a better stretch. This is risky stuff though and can destroy your shoulders over time.

2. You can press your hands inwards towards eachother during the press. Your hands aren't supposed to actually move but the intention will fire up your pecs. This usually means using less weight though.

3. You can do an activation drill first. Any exercise that really makes you feel your pecs will work. Don't go anywhere near failure. Just enough to fire up your pecs.

Personally though, I think it's best to simply call the bench press an upper body exercise, and use assistance exercises to specifically hammer the pecs if needed.

Sad, as the girls is my group of friends say I'm a good looking guy.

Recommend me some good breakfast foods that are cut friendly. I think the milk+whey+chocolate cereal combo is making me gain weight.

Your arms' position and engagement will have no effect on your abs in this scenario.
Do whatever's comfortable, but if you wanna really go hard in the paint, try dipping down while you lift your legs up, then pushing back up while bringing them down.
Also, you'll get more noticeable pec activation from shit like flies, but when benching, try using your mind to really focus in on squeezing your pecs together. It sounds like a lotta horseshit, but once you start getting into a weight range where you feel like fucking up will break a rib or two, you'll really start to notice it.

Eh. I just found my "One" earlier in life than I expected to. I'm happy.

I thought you meant that she said no and left you.

Oh shit, my bad. A little vague in the wording; I just find referring to my fiancée as "le gf" at this point isn't quite accurate enough for my liking

Weightloss motivation for you fat fuckign pigs

How much of a bad idea is it to do this?

> 3 x 3 Squat
> 3 x 3 Bench
> 1 x 3 Deadlift

Would probably hit the Concept 2 rower on off days.

Forgot to mention, 3 days a week.

Would work as a taper right before a powerlifting competition. Utter garbage for everything else.

>She will never birth my children
Pic related. It hurts.

>27 reps of squatting/bench per fucking week
>9 reps diddle per week
is this a joke

just stay home if you're doing this little volume

Sup niggas. So basically my question is how do I straighten out my Squat form? My posture irl is kind of fucked and despite what I've done to correct it so far I feel it the most in my squats. I can tell I'm favoring my left side because it's more sore than anywhere else when I'm recovering and I realize that in the long term this is pretty bad. Holding the bar on my shoulders always feels a bit difficult, I spend a lot of time trying to make sure my foot position is correct, and several times lately when I finally do go down I end up falling on my ass (thank God for the safeties). I just don't feel like my form is where I want it to be.

So do you guys have any tips for crafting a more optimal form for Squats?

Do you maybe have slight scoliosis?

I’m doing a keto cut to get my body fat down before I bulk. My lifts aren’t great but my chest is noticeably behind. Is there anything I can do during a cut or just suck it up until I bulk?

I think so. I was told that by my primary doctor as a young teenager but I was also a stupid little idiot who never stood up straight when he was told to so I'm not 100% sure. I'd air on the side of "probably" though.

Trust issues.
I'm not even sure I've been able to trust anyone in my life.

stretching
filming yourself
experimenting with different feet/hand/bar placements
using lower weight until you figure it our

Get your hamstrings and ankles as flexible as you can, use a lifting shoe with a high, TPU heel. Both of these will help you keep you maintain your lumbar curve and keep your center of balance where it needs to be, in the middle of your foot.
I don't want to pretend to know how to deal with your fucked posture. See a chiropractor? See if weighted pull ups might help straighten things out?

>So do you guys have any tips for crafting a more optimal form for Squats?
>I end up falling on my ass
Dude just fucking do bodyweight squats or dumbbell lunges or some shit. Learn how to properly move your body and get into and out of the squat position without a barbell first and foremost.

And if you want real advice on how to fix your squat form, go on youtube and find some videos bro.

I am very sexist and most women disgust and bore me. The ones I like don't like me back

Holy shit thanks guys this sounds perfect. I had considered doing bodyweight squats but I avoided them because I didn't want the slower progression but ya know falling on my ass and snapping my shit up seems a lot worse than following your advice and focusing on mobility and form over seeing big numbers on the bar. I'd never see a chiro though, they're phony af but I do appreciate the suggestion none the less.

So in conclusion I guess I'll do bodyweight squats at home and dumbbell lunges at the gym until I feel more confident and then I'll work with the bar a little at a time instead of trying to force progression in spite of a handicap and yoking my body to pieces.

How do people in jail bulk? Are they allowed to eat 4k calorie meals at the cafeteria to fit their macros or is it some underground whey snd roid dealers on there?

Every girl I asked juat wants to be friends.

Veeky Forums tells me that I find myself to be less hungry through the day if I eat all of my meals for that day in one sitting because doing so causes me to spend most of the day in ketosis, but if this is the case, why do I not suddenly start feeling hungry after I've drank some tea that had 200g of sugar in it?

How do I make da doodoo stop leaking from my bungdung?

I had a chance, but I doon goofed and rushed it. Whatever, lesson learned. Just gotta keep trying till something sticks.

Anyone here have any knowledge of endocroinology?
My body is practically yelling at me to go find a grill and inseminate her. What can I do to make it stop.
The biggest reason is I don't really care enough?

Cum buckets inside of a girl's vagina.

I just want to focus on the powerlifting big 3. Is there anything inherently wrong doing 5 x 5 Squats, Bench, & Deads 3 times a week?

Your progress will stall fast. If you just do those you'll start getting injuries from overuse and repeating the same movements and only the same movements. You'll begin to have muscle weaknesses that will hold you back.

>insert squatplug

Finasteride / dutasteride

Opoids

SSRIS

Or masturbate until sexual satiety and then some more so your brain androgen receptors get overstimulated. Should give you a few days of rest

How long would you all say it would take for me to go from a 185 3rm to a 225 1rm on bench?
5'7" manlet at 155 lbs trying to bulk at 3 - 4 lbs a month.

How low of a calorie deficit can you go before your body does starvation? is any more than 25% bad?

Pretty mediocre 195lb and the calf press machine always leaves bruises on my shoulders. I don't get it.

Prostitute.

>shoutout to a meme I coined myself
now I can die in peace

lots of high calorie junk food to wolf down, also most places let you cop whey or similar for the money you earn in there yes

how long does it take before you can bench your own weight?

what said, plus roids are pretty common (although adex and proper pct sadly are not, kek)

Go to the gym and find out

Because I'm ugly, fat, and balding.

What are some good, cheap bulking foods?

OK, I get that everyone is different, but I guess I meant more something along the lines of how long does it take for a novice to get good at bench press in general terms.

a few weeks, a few months? a year?

Anyone ever cook protein powder cookies? I just ordered some coconut flour and when it shows up I'm going to try to cook some so I don't spend outrageous amounts of money on premade protein cookie snacks. Problem is I've baked before but never with protein powder.

>ugly
fixable with some effort
>fat
work out dumbass, you're on Veeky Forums
>balding
shave it or get implants

Where do I get Phenibut or something similar in Canada? By something similar, I mean that actually works

How can I tell when it is time to switch to a new program?

If I do chin-ups with my legs crossed instead of the normal form, does it make it harder or easier?

So I did rack dead lift pulls yesterday.... about 1 1/2" below the bottom of the kneecap.

Other than grip endurance and spinal erectors, what muscles did I train ? Core stability ? Abs ?

>thanks

assuming optimal recovery and nutrition, when neither a couple deloads nor bastardizing the original into an unrecognizable mess helps drive progress anymore

What's the best leg routine for ascetics?

why do i get aroused easier after taking a shower

I wake up multiple times a night with no idea why. I have no lights coming into my room and its not always to go to the bathroom. Falling asleep ia usually okay. I understand the no screen before bed thing but does multiple hours on a screen during the day cause problems like this?

Why am i still small and look like shit with clothes on?
Ohp 125 bench225 squat 350 diddly 335 pendlay row 235

because you're bald

srsly get some better-fit clothes. Everybody looks like a math teacher in shitty baggy clothes.

What do you mean by bastardizing? Like adding on new excercise or doing what you already do, but differently?

post a pic with clothes on

Post front?

cause you're focused too much on 1rm. 1rm doesn't need to be a concern when size is the priority

Fatty pork, 80% lean ground beef, homemade bread

>squat 350
>diddy 335
What the fuck happened?

I doubt anyone here really knows the answer. I do L-sit pullups sometimes and the difference is almost negligible in that case, so it will be even more minuscule with crossed legs.

apology for poor english

where were you when latissimus dorsi dies

i was sat at home drinking gallon of milk when rip call

'lats is die'

'no'

and you???

I think I’ve given up, and I’m only 25.

I’m afraid I seriously am not interested in getting a gf anymore. I have a cat for emotional support, and have porn for everything else.

I’m beginning to think it’s very possible that I will die a virgin.

I had a gf in college but she was a cunt and didn’t want to have sex

I have thin wrists, should I do wrist exercises or will my upper arm work out already work on my wrists? I don’t want them to become disproportionate

>fuck this gay earth

Does keto make your heart rate faster?

I don't know enough about physics myself. I figure more of the weight is centered when the legs are crossed so it should be harder, even if marginally so?

A little bit
Let's be honest, people only do them to look cool.

Are you me?

I have to do them that way, I have rings hanging from a power rack and I'm too tall to do them normally.

I've been bulking for 3 months and have gained 10 lbs
Is it safe to assume that 3 - 5 of those lbs are water weight?

I admittedly haven't been tracking weekly.

kek

ugly, manlet, balding, glasses. i wont get any female attention until stacey realizes all the chads are married so another 5 years or so.
i never feel activation in barbell flat bench. i get great pump in chest from dumbbells both flat and incline and then barbell incline bench.
eat more fiber to blast it all out at once, or cheese to plug it up.
3-4 months you can prob do it.
starvation is prolonged time without any food and no fat reserves left.
starting at fat gamer slop i got to 135lb bench in 6 months at 195lbs and cutting still. best answer i can give ya.
prob wont affect cooking in any way unless you put a lot, then consider it like flour when measuring ingredients and add extra egg/water/ or wahtever you are using.
no difference.
traps big time.
if warm water maybe it pumps blood to groin. also naked so that helps.

>Just be attractive, bro. They love that.

>prob wont affect cooking in any way unless you put a lot, then consider it like flour when measuring ingredients and add extra egg/water/ or wahtever you are using.
Thanks man. This gives me a bit of confidence before I jump in the deep end.

prob anxiety. see if you have any. if nothing too big, dont have coffee 12 hours before going to sleep.
drop a size in shirts. i didnt get comments about weightlifting from people until i went from large to medium and i didnt even gain muscle, just change in size shirt.
peanut butter and crackers, rice.
everyone has thin wrists, there is no muscle there just tendons. just train forearms.
no, 3-5 is prob carb bloat though.

My leg doms are absolutely killing me. They're really painful and today I'm supposed to deadlifts but when I even try to get into starting position the pain is so intense I feel like I'm gonna collapse. Is it fine if I skip todays work out and do it tomorrow instead?

motion is the lotion

Thanks user

How much protein does your use? Is there diminishing returns?

How do I achieve this? What is it?

How much fat can you expect to gain while bulking? Cut 20 pounds and rather not loose aethetics too much.

Im weird and dead inside

Me too user, me too
