How do I stop being scared of diddly?
I recently injured my lower back with squat and I'm afraid I'll break my back permanently with diddly

I feel like my chances for having a successful life and family have been totally wasted. Going back to school seems like a good medium to get my life back on track. As an end goal I was thinking in getting a PHD in Cell and Molecular Biology. It'd be a huge challenge, but I work as a Certified Nurse Assistant so my experience is already oriented to medicine. I'm currently looking up information about it before asking the one person I know to have that kind of PHD. Also I realize I need to make time to study for a GED test.

tl;dr Any advice for going back to school for a starting the years it takes to get a PHD?

How do I get rid of swamp ass without paying anybody to do it and without risking getting ingrown hairs in my anus?

Trim with electric shaver, clean ass with water and not paper and put some powder down there

Hiya friends

My programme says to do a certain weight at 5 reps for 5 sets. I find the first 3-4 sets no problem but fail on the 5th set. Is this how it is supposed to be?

I use baby wipes when I use the restroom and it got rid of swamp ass completely.

no, you're supposed to do all sets...

Dirty yuropoor here looking for the names of the things americans use in their outdoor sports areas.

That thing the three best sports people stand on to receive medals?

Hope for your help.

Lets pretend you do some dumb shit and sleep for like 4-6 hours, wake up, think you're ready to start your day, eat breakfast, and then pass back out for another 4-6 hours without trying to...

Do the calories from the breakfast tack onto the previous 'days' count or the current day? Do you split the difference between the two? Does the additional sleep around the meal neutralize it somewhat?

Deep Lore Version: Its a 4-day weekend from work and I work overnights and when I have longer weekends I usually fuck my sleep schedule up by trying to stay up/wake up early to do normie things.

keep your end goal in mind and do what is necessary to achieve it (bio BS, GRE, time as a research assistant, etc.), but take it one year at a time. i see a lot of people force themselves into programs because they convinced themselves that they had to stick with their plan and they end up miserable
for all you know, after you get a bio degree you'll end up just wanting to work or start a family or you want to go a different route with grad school, or something you can't even predict
i'm basically saying to not be rigid with your extrinsic goals (profession/salary/degree type) and tailor extrinsic goals with what fits your intrinsic goals (satisfaction in work, avoiding a high stress/toxic environment, etc.) with the options you see in front of you

Podium and bleachers

Ive been completing my diet bulk with spicy chicken juniors grom bk, is this retarded or should i eat even more chicken? I do it because its cheap and quick.

hiya there fren
if you don't finish your 5th set your will basically lose all gains
also never do reps 6-7 as they are worthless.
anything til 5 and above 8 is fine tho.
hope you have a good time working out!

Why are the veins in my arms in different patterns? In my right forearm I have a few very large veins and in my left dozens of tiny yet still bulging veins that look like plant roots. Both forearms are the same strength.

Because nature isnt perfect.

Many thanks. Bleachers like in the drink?

So my veins are in different patterns in each arm or just the ones that decide to bulge are different? I'm just curious I know nothing about anatomy

Nah slavman you're not supposed to actually drink bleach

Will I actually realize if I'm overtraining? Or is this just a meme? Been feeling more tired lately, but that could just be stress from uni. I don't want to miss my workout but I also don't want to fuck up my body

Its the same concept with like how your face isnt 100% exactly symmetrical or if you measured your arms or leg length they wouldn't be EXACTLY the same.

The veins in your arms didnt grow in the exact same way by pure natural slightly random variation.

How to fix asymmetry?

Yesterday when I went to the gym I just completely shut off my brain and just wanted to lift heavy shit. 3h of exclusively doing different DL and Squat variations with varying weight later and I was so exhausted that I couldnt even fall asleep that night because it felt like my body was too exhausted to sleep.

Am I gonna be ok if I just do my upper body workout today as good as I can and then have 2-3 rest days or is my CNS fried to the point where I have to take the entire week off ?

When shitting: Always 'scoop' the balls when a log drops to protect them from splashback, wipe with a wetted paper towel and then a dry paper towel. Close the lid before flushing. During showering, wash and rinse well, and moiturize the whole area to replace oils that have been stripped. Shaving will cause horrible, painful and annoying stubble. Pic Unrelated

what brand of mens jeans do not have an ass cut for women or soyfags?

uhhhh most standard athletic cut jeans have been fine for me.

I've started to buy jeans that have some stretch to make room for my quads tho

Use dumbells over barbells, though the total ammount of weight you can lift this way is reduced, you are not helping the weaker arm. Stretch symmetrically, oddly enough you are less flexible when stretching both limbs simultaneously, it is a nerve thing, not a tendon thing. My left arm has somehow always been stronger than my right until I started doing this. 2K is garbage.

levis 541 to look presentable, those diesel jogjeans I always forget the exact name of to show off quads, butt and package without resorting to outright leggins

Heres my 4 hour workout I made up. Been doing it 2- 3 times a week for 2-3 months. I hate splits, i need to feel completely exhausted at the end, or its a fake workout to me.

Is it possible to add more volume? Sometimes i have to rest 2 days because I'm still tired, its frustrating. Do you think i can make decent gains long term with this? Like should add obliques into this, or maybe some advanced cable exercises?

I also have a knee injury so i dont squat or deadlift, fyi.

good job you are literally rick panini without any of the redeeming features

if dumbbell bench presses and flies are better than barbell and machines, why do people still use them?

it's like you found 20 random exercises and put them in a random order what the fuck are you doing

How should I do my working sets on bench if I can do 195lbs for 2 sets 3-4 reps

Thanks user. I'm tired of constantly changing courses in life.

For those that wake up early to exercise. Do you eat breakfast first then go gym or do you eat breakfast after going to the gym?

So is a PPLPPLx good for a natty 1yearlifter for hypertrophy or should I just stick to CAMPs Push/Pull AxBxAxx? Isn't PPL just 3times/week too little?

Where do you fit cardio in a PPL?

Bad idea to train on empty stomach. My nutriologist has me eating 1scoop proton shake+1 slice of bread half hour before training so that might work.

Jesus Christ its 2:53 and I can't fucking sleep. I took a nap today and now I can't fall asleep.
I've been trying for like 3 hours. Please help, this shit started to occur more and more often

Its not random. I hit everything once and then hit it again. Its a 2-layered exercise plan so one part won't fail me in the middle. Shoulders close to last since its easier to tire them. Why don't you try it?

if you eat on an empty stomach, you'll burn fat reserves, but you might lose out on gains and lose muscle mass if your diet is shit. Drink some coffee, get a shake and a banana at least.

no way! I have 3 pairs of levis, one regular and two slim straight, all with over-assing.

How bad is bouncing the weight off the ground while deadlifting? I used to do it, but then I read that it's bad for you back or something and stopped doing it. However, now that I think of it, I was stronger back then than I am now, at least when it comes to the deadlift.

So my question is: is bouncing the weight really that bad? Doing it could potentially help me reach my old max and surpass it, because bouncing would allow me to do additional reps with heavy weights. I wouldn't do it all the time, but every once in a while to offer my body a different kind of stimulus.

Thoughts?

how to I boost my test levels?

study

HOW DO I FIX THIS PLEASE
It's probably called winging scapula, but I'm having no luck fixing it
If I really focus on good posture it almost dissapears, though I really have to be focusing

>nothing above 5
my ppl routine says to do 4x6 squats

har har
No seriously, how do I boost my testosterone levels?

eat clean
work hard
sleep well
take your vitamins
lower your cortisol

study the rest fuccboi

Really focus on posture

Does edging to gay porn really increase testosterone?

is it the only way? there is just so much stuff going on at any time that focusing on that seems impossible

Thanks, I'll exercise in the evenings then.

lol yeah. sure. You go for it.

Probably not more so than normal porn

Bump , Need help

Overtraining is real, but very rare.
You could take a deload week just to be safe and get some energy back.

fatigue is not isolated to specific body parts.
Training ridiculous amounts of lower body volume takes its toll on the whole body.
So, yes ,taking a week f heavy weights isn't a bad idea.

>dumbbell bench presses and flies are better than barbell and machines
says who?
There is no 'best' excercise, it all depends on context.

Are you asking for a bench program or?

breakfast first, workout shake during training

>PPL
fuck that meme routine. Do something written by respected coaches, instead of some random template from a anonymous imageboard
y advice for good programs:
Renaissance Periodization bodybuilding templates. (check volafile dot org/r/fit for "RP" to get them free)
Do one of the novice programs with an amount of days and muscle focus you like.

For me, a deadlift starts from a dead stop.
Bouncing on a deadlift is to me what swinging on chin-ups is, form breakdown.

Not a program but how do I approach my working sets. I have all the way from 1 plate to 195lbs so I get confused on how far I should go before getting to 195 on bench

Just count what you eat in 24hs. It's usually useful to do it according to the sun cycle if you live on Earth.

What is 1/2/3/4?

I need to cum super bad after a heavy squat day, if I haven't cleaned the pipes beforehand. I mean super bad, like leave work because I'm so uncomfortable. What the fuck? Do I have ass cancer?

1 plate overhead press, 2 plate bench, 3 plate squat, 4 plate deadlift
plate refering to 20kg/45lbs plate on each side of the bar

All in a single workout? I can't do any of those. I need to build up to that.

it's just the max you can lift

it's just bragging rights, normally you might not even have those excercises in one workout

it's a fantastic goal though

>Renaissance Periodization
Oi this looks like a goldmine, and you even were kind enough to spoonfeed me the source. Thanks man.

Went for PR and fell over after my set. How do I prevent light-headedness from doing heavy lifts?

Any other bros with an insulin resistance? What's your diet like if so?

>need to cum
>Do I have ass cancer?
wut

bro you could just be really horny. If you need to bust a nut, do it. Don't give yourself blue balls.

Breathe properly.

it's not a fucking basketball, don't bounce it.

exercise, stretch, do something tiring.

I hold my breath the whole of diddys until the weight touch the floor. Is this wrong?

start with the empty bar for a couple of sets, then work your way up in 4 even sets or so.
example:
bar 3x5
88 pounds 1x5
135 pounds 1x3
155 pounds 1x2
175 pounds 1x1

yup, it is a goldmine, enjoy

Is it worth getting my own 1lb and 2.5lb plates for the gym because goblins keep stealing the gym's?

You're meant to do cardio every day, or at least every time you go to the gym. Humans have always done some sort of cardio since we were nomads or cavemen.
And running doesn't cause injuries unless you are doing something vey wrong. We evolved to chase antelopes or deer as hunters

You can't improve your testosterone levels by any significant amount naturally, squats and deadlifts raising test is a meme.
But being healthy and exercising will have other health benefits

Thanks.

best excercise for obliques?

is there any chance that I only have to train abdominals for them to be visible?

You dont really need rest days if your workout days separate muscle groups by a few days right?

The ulna on my left arms hurts when I curl. It feels like it's bending or something. How do I get thicker bones?

Why do DYEL like the lat pulldown so fucking much?

>pull day after work
>like to do lat pull down straight after deads to get that juicy pump
>ALWAYS SOME CUNT ON IT
>ALWAYS HAVE MULTIPLE SETS LEFT
>see its free from other side of gym
>power walk over
>some old twat intercepts it
>15 sets of 20
>end up doing it at the very end when I'm fucked

GET OFF THE LAT PULL DOWN YOU FUCKS!!

is it harder for people with long arms to lift?

I'm thinking just based on pure physics since you're going higher in the air/further away from the body it's more difficult.

I have long arms and it definitely feels like I have to put more effort to get the same lift someone with short arms might

I have the exact same problem at my gym

I have to wait around for two guys to "spot" each other doing a million reps before I can do my 3x5

Yes, the upside is that you aren't a manlet

I work weird shifts so get a lot of weekdays off and train around midday so it usually isn't a problem but when I work days I get there around 6:30 and it is so fucking busy

see if any weightlifting movement is uncomfortable due to tight muscles. see if you can do a split. but otherwise no.
it is possible to mistake hunger or stomach pains with ab doms.
do rackpulls, helped me overcome any fear.
phds are 3-5 years of work ontop of undergrad and highschool. consider that after you get your ged a phd will be another 10 years. at 28 that means you would get a phd around 40. that said, you can still go for it and i recommend it. the very least start with ged, then bs in bio. at the least that will make you a more qualified nurse and pay should increase. take it from there at that point. also keep in mind some phds dont help with pay or jobs or force you towards certain jobs only in certain fields.
your fine. keep going until you can get it then increase weight.
tommy hilfiger and ralph lauren make nice jeans that work for me. check them out.
barbell has use but machines not so much. machines are for pt and new people to figure out.
either. i use to eat first but then i have to poop usually. now i do fasting so no biggie.
you can do 2 PPL routines in a week. so 6 days on then rest day.
no coffee past 3pm. no screens before bed. lights all off. no fap. maybe meditate or say prayers before bed. no exercise 2 hours before bed. try that.
the bounce isnt a deadlift then. let it come to rest. the bounce provides momentum for you to lift the weight up.

anything upper body, yes. and of course you'll have bigger muscles for a given weight. but you'll also look smaller because of your lanklet proportions.

lifting, no junkfood helped me. once i started lifting ive gotten more aggressive and facial hair growth was better. no joke.
youtube vids. athelean x has a good vid, and plenty others out there that will give you exercises and stretches you need.
i dont have but uncle was diabetic so can share a bit. no cheap sugar sources, white flour and candy are no. dont snack. maybe check out fasting. all i got sorry.
yea if you really need it.
dumbbell bend overs, and front squats.
you can get away with that for a while. eventually entire CNS will be fired out and you will need to rest.
calcium.
yea but dont be a spooky skeleton with werid arms so lift and deal with it.

How much should I rest between compounds?
What about bb exercises?

is it really possible to get your calves big or is it genetics?

how long will it take me to get 2pl8 incline if i can do 185x5 for 4 sets now

Can I make gains on a 2200cal/day cut?

I've been on 1700cal/day for a few months now and I've seen little to no progress in a lot of my lifts. However, I still want to be on a cut.

You can make some improvement with direct training, but it's mostly genetics. Skinny calves let you run faster, though. Less mass moving around with each foot strike.
