QTDDTOT

Any pain felt around the hip (in your case it's the hip abductors) is almost always caused by lack of mobility. Number 1 thing you need to do to, especially when squatting heavy, is stay mobile.

If the problem is specifically for bench, try using DBs. If you are adamant about barbell benching, you need to adjust your form. If you are going full ROM, with correct form, and using a spotter so you can bench til failure, chest DOMS should be prevalent.

I know its a common thing for SS + GOMAD people to just become even worse looking but I feel like even after progressing a lot through The Bridge (Barbell Medicine) the only noticeable thing that's happened is my love handles are slightly bigger.

6'0", 212lbs only seriously lifting ~3 months.

Before program I was 205 bench, 305 squat, 315 deadlift, maybe 95 OHP

Now I'm 245 bench, 365 squat, 365x2 deadlift and 155 OHP.

Will I not notice more considerable thickness until 2/3/4/5??

Yeah I've used DB bench, but I've never felt anything really when doing them either, even when approaching failure. When benching I feel like my form is decent, elbows not flared, shoulders pushed pack and scapulas pushed down, chest pushed up etc but nothing. I only ever seem to get DOMS wtih leg exercises

It's not a meme. Splits allow long stretches without rest days and you might be fine, but you would probably benefit.

If you're brand new you probably don't need one yet, but if you've been lifting for a while 6day/wk just wont do it unless you eat and sleep a fuck ton.

I'm in the same boat as (you) OP, except I prioritize necessary bodily functions like eating food regularly above all else, eat in class, eat a little between classes, drink a shake or something, but you need to not go long periods without food.

Legs have painful DOMS because they're the largest muscle group you work. Give it time, sounds like you just started out.. DOMS will get way worse

You're just gunna have to suffer through. Eat a huge breakfast of things like steel cut oats with peanut butter, drink a shake before bed.

Oh god, I just saw a fitness thread on /v/. The amount of meme science they spout mirrors tumblr level of faggotry.

I've been going since late july last year, I had it back then but not now anymore

As long as your numbers increase and you're building muscle there is no problem. DOMS aren't a great indicator of wether a workout was hard enough, but not feeling them at all struck me as odd. What are your lifts?

Bench 175
Deadlift 300
Squat 265
OHP 120

6'1 ~192lbs

dude that's not bad at all you literally have nothing to worry about

idk, Might just be self consciousness or something then, thanks

What's the best fast food to bulk on to reach 3000 calories a day

I saw a thing that said in SS you're supposed to alternate between press and bench press. I must be braindead to not get something that literal noobs are supposed to know, but what does he mean by "press"? Is it just OHP? Or something different?

The press is just a two word version of the overhead press.

anyone ever get a injury on the inside of their elbow from lifting?
this shit has been hurting for 2 weeks, to the point where i cant pull my pants up with my left arm, but i refuse to stop lifting.
any healing methods?

Do pro sumo wrestlers juice?

Google hernia

Most people would say the opposite. Working up to that level of volume takes time.

For the last week I feel a sharp pain in the area you can see on picture when doing squats. Never had this before, it's always on the same leg. I didn't have any injury. I tried squatting empty bar and I still feel it. What could be the cause?

Maybe I mis-read that, all I know from my own experience is that doing any type of bro-split or 6 day program when you're no longer a novice makes things much harder than lifting heavy 3/4 times a week and keeping up with recovery. Could be wrong though, I'm no expert obviously.

My shoulders always feel stiff after my bench press workout, is this bad?

Only thing I could imagine is you're not warmed up enough and you're squatting way too wide, try bringing your feet closer together and doing low-bar until you can do the same width with high-bar.

not necessarily, make sure you're using your chest primarily if you do a lot of incline.

I am warming up plenty, doing high-bar atg, my feet are like my shoulders width apart. Been doing it for past 6 months with no problem, but i'll try to switch position a bit.

Oh man, this sounds like what I've been getting too

Is 3x5 three reps or five reps?

The bloods were drawn basically at my bedtime after a killer workout and a long day of manual labor. probably had a beer the night before too.
Still low as dicks though ahh? Basically my question is: would getting on TRT with results from the worst point in the day for T a bad idea?

3 sets of 5

Can I still get taller at 22? I heard it is possible but not sure how

When do you do your cardio Veeky Forums? I heard different theories, that doing It after lifting affects the gains but on rest days they interfere with recovery. Any studies/opinions on what's optimal?

I think it might depend if you’re training for strength or hypertrophy.. I’ve also heard 3-4 day full body or upper lower is better for strength, and I’ve heard others say higher volume and upper lower or PPL 5-6 days a week is best for hypertrophy.. though a lot of experts seem to agree PPL 6 days a week is way too much for any natural depending on the volume I guess. Personally I found a 4 days upper lower split to be way more taxing than PPL 5 days a week I think because upper lower splits generally have 2 more compounds and less accessories. It felt harder, less fun and less rewarding to me.

Id get it tested again desu. Do it earlier in the day when you have it off work and don’t lift before hand, if you’re still under 500 I’d think about hopping on TRT.

Do you feel low test in general?

Honestly. Stop squatting. I dealt with this for 2 years until a physician took X-rays and told me I have FAI. Just do leg press instead, my legs are juicy as fuck with leg press in place of squats.

>this shit has been hurting for 2 weeks
>any healing methods?

>but i refuse to stop lifting.

Fuck off you cunt

useful and helpful information

Alright, try this:

Stop lifting until it stops hurting

Should I invest in stocks or just buy some shrooms?

My back amd neck have been stiff for a few days now and its keeping me away from the gym. Still have to work so I dont want to put too much stress on it. Hiw do I solve this?

Oats. Chocolate milk.

Get some rest. Or a very serious deload week

Some probably do

Would this also benefit your back?
Do you work core to compensate?

I work out from home so I don't squat because I dont have a power rack at home and I have a knee injury from a kid that make sit hard. What alternatives can I do? Are deadlifts enough for the legs? I'm not trying to get popping quad muscles just dont want chicken legs with big upper body.

Can you train calves every day? I just did it for two days in a row, I can barely fucking walk.

>implying you can substitute squats with leg press

Either my vein or a tendon on the inside of my left elbow keeps snapping over something whenever I OHP and it's really bugging me, cause I don't know if it's gonna cause injury in the long run. What should I do?

How can I overcome my alcoholism?

Don't drink alcohol.

please kill yourself

Anyone here have a home gym? I need something to put on the floor so I dont damage the parquet when I drop weights on the ground. Why should I buy/use?

Rubber mat? Isn't it obvious? Might wanna get a platform if you're deadlifting.

i have a pretty bad rounded back in the bottom of my squats, even without weight. when forcing my back up by holding onto something i feel stretching in my hips and ankles.

my question is should i just start stretching these or can i do something else to fix it?

If you have bought something yourself can your give me an amazon link or something? Because all I find are shitty yoga mats and oft mats.

Last week I could do situps for days, but now my performance is steadily decreasing. I went from 4x45 on monday to 2x45, with the last two sets being pathetic maxes of 35 and 28 today. Sleep is good, other exercises haven't suffered, so what could be the issue here?
Should I train my abs more or is this a sign of impending overtraining?

Most likely she had a guy over and was making fun of you with him, because shes still mad at you for whatever reason

I don't have a home gym, but if you're a burger you could probably find something at a tractor supply company.

How do I increase the number of push-ups I can do? I've just been doing as many as I can every two hours on every other day, and over the course of a couple months I went from 4 to 20, but now I've been stuck at 20 for over three weeks.

do more pushups. Take 60% of your one set max and do sets that long over the course of the day. Every day works as long as you eat and rest properly; every other day I found works better. Always aim to do a few pushups more at the end of every training day.

No I feel better now

I have a question about some dumplings,
It sayson the package that its per 100g 15g carbs,4g fat 11g protein ~. Each dumpling weighs about 30g. If its each dumpling is it 10g each dumpling for 34 calories each wtf`?. Did the company just fuck up or is dumplings really that nutrional dense? They are delicious and i can easily eat 10+ in a go.

2 newfag questions:

As a skinny, tall guy who wants to bulk, should I just eat anything in sight? Already got whole grain bread, 0 soda and whatever, drinking only water and tea. Are there any things I should avoid, or just keep eating?

Second, is nofap magic a meme?

fan snackar du om ens, vad är din fråga?

You can purchase rubber mats for home gyms from online weight retailers but they are pricey
Cheaper alternative is to get vinyl/linoleum offcuts from a flooring store instead

Vad är näringsvärdet på dom där dumplingsarna? Kan ju omöjligt vara 34 kcal på 100g?

If im falling for the soy meme, is this a decent protein powder shake mix? per hundred grams its 361 calories. 3.2g fat,14g carbs, 63g protein, 8.9g sugar
Ingredients:
Pea protein *, rice protein *, hemp protein *, coconut blossom sugar *, berry flavor, aronia berry powder * (4.0%), goji berry powder * (2.0%), cranberry powder * (2.0%), raspberry powder * (1.0%), Konjac powder *, thickener: gum arabic *. * from controlled organic cultivation

or should i just go with this one:
Per 100g 371kcal, 2.5g fat, carbs 2.2g, 0.9g sugar, 1.5g fiber and 86g protein. Plus all those added vitamins.

MILK protein POWDER ((85%), SOYPROTEIN ISOLATE (8%), low-fat cocoa powder (5.5%), magnesium carbonate, palm oil, sweeteners: sodium cyclamate, sodium saccharin; Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B6, Thiamine (Vitamin B1), Folic Acid, Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Biotin.

actually the regular protein powder is way less carbs and sugar with more protein. I was just hestiant because its store brand and the first one is a name brand but the flavors are weird or ones i generally dont like except for the fruit one.

No one that can help me? I just wanna know the nutrional value of these fuckers.

is it possible to get a form of cushion cover thing for my ab wheel???

I have all these bruises and chaffing on my ab and torso area from the hard plastic of the wheel so it makes it hard to effectively work out using it

är nog per dumpling

Anyone?

>weight gainers
Dude just eat some fucking peanut butter it's literally the cheapest source of leucine there is besides protein powders and it's very calorie and protein dense.

2x is good if you avoid training as hard as you can.
I find I get the most gains by training a muscle group once a week or once every 2 weeks personally, I just get way more sults, both strength and size wise.

stop worrying about it and just get it tested when you aren't literally crippled by your job and training
Don't test testosterone in a fed state either.

eating and eating caloric dense foods like nuts and peanut butter.

make sure you're squatting with correct form?
Your abs could also be underdeveloped so try doing weighted ab exercises.

Lads I'm starting my first cut, and this time I'm actually gonna count macros. I'm 5'11", 175lbs and estimate I should eat about 175g of protein, 360g carbs, and 55g fat a day (I workout every day lift+run).

Basically my question is, holy shit do my carbs seem high. Did I fuck something up? Because I definitely feel like I did.

>being this pathetic

you soyboys i swear why are you still talking to your ex its just sad

(You)

I should add my goal is to lose 1 pound a week, so roughly 2,650 calories a day. The math adds up, I've done it like 5 times now. The fucking carbs are just so high, there is no way it'll work right?

Eat everything if you don't care about your health. Eating like 5k calories worth of clean food isn't easy.

Thanks anons. You got an answer for the second thing too?

What is this nofap magic?

What's the best core exercise to boost my squat?

Best way to fix muscle imbalance?

One of my pecs is definitely more defined and larger than the other and I noticed a small bit with my shoulders as well. I've tried doing dumbbell work and doing isolated movements to focus on each muscle individually and i've noticed little to no improvement. It may just be body dysmorphia, but when I look at myself in the mirror I can't help but notice that my body looks "off".

Would calisthenics or any specific exercises help with this? Any advice would be much appreciated

fatass here

if i follow this for 30 days do you think the results will be as good as he says?

Have been getting a sharp (but not too sore) pain in my right hip while squatting for the past two weeks.
Googled it and apparently I should stop squatting for 3 weeks + do hip recovery stretches instead... Is this true? Seems like I'd lose crazy progress. Going skiing in mid march as well so really don't want to fuck my hip / lose too much progress.

Body Dysmorphia: The Post, Example #46,789

"core"? Front Squat.

nobody's gonna watch your bait. tl;dr or fuck off
you want good weight loss advice, read Lyle McDonald

look, you're not a fucking monkey in a cage so you shouldn't be spending your spare time jerking yourself off. it's pathetic.
so is porn. it's one thing to notice tits and ass, but to seek out "entertainment" based solely on prurient interests is just kind of sad.
imagine that you are actually a MAN and capable of dominating your passions and living life according to ideals higher than animal hedonism and bitter nihilism, and then act accordingly.

if it's sore but not acutely painful, go for the add, see how you feel in warmups. any pain, back off.

AA worked for me. Sober since 2002.

no pain? just a clicking feeling and sometimes a "pop" sound like cracking your knuckles?
my elbows are just built like that, both, but more the left. been lifting for years, over 50, no problems.
if you get pain etc then see a doc but otherwise?

you can, if size and appearance and general health are all that matters.
there is no such thing as a mandatory exercise for everybody. the powerlifts and olympics are only mandatory for powerlifters and olympic lifters, and while they're the best thing for competitive athletes, let's face it, most here will never be in that tiers
