weighted hanging leg raises

What I've read is that generally it's around 50/50 fat and muscle, gaining at 1lb a week.

don't even bother counting how much you're gaining when you're starting out. just focus on lifting and eating more and look back at your self at least 3 months in to actually see some progress worth checking

anybody know if nofap has any benefits for females? I want to stop for sex purposes but I'm not sure if it even effects women the same way it effects men.

I've done it and it's made sex feel much better.

I feel like with a vibrator/showerhead/your hand whatever you get used to that sensation, and kinda get into the rhythm of that sensation to cum. Having sex is a different sensation, so if you only have sex, you'll get more used to coming from it and start coming more often/harder.

hey guys, what grips do you favor for lat pulldowns and why?

been favoring medium width underhand, but i wondered what reasons you folks had to try other ones

Overhand, wide grip. Because I want to do pull-ups.
Underhand does biceps more than overhand does.

You have to be asian, fit and dress well to get the attention of these girls

fuck off

So yesterday I went to a rock concert and was drunk and was banging my gead really fucking hard until it literally stopped working. Even today I can barely hold my head straight.
It doesn't feel injured, just extremely fatigued. (+ I can feel the stretch).
How do I make it recover faster, it kinda interferes with my workout.

So Ive been working out on the strong lifts 5x5 for a while now (about 3 months).

My squats are usually really deep, almost ass touching concrete. Knees straight up. Recently Ive been getting abdominal and ball pain when I wake up. Usually a few days after a good lift. Not intense pain but mildish.

Im at 145lbs squat so I had thought this wasnt too much of a risk for a hernia. I should say, I had a hernia operation (born with it) when I was young and not lifting. Around 15. Ive been staying at the same weight for 2 weeks to kind of counteract that predisposition.

Should I deweight and work out doing a normal parallel squat while my body heals? What would you guys advise?

Not that user but does it work obliques?
I have decent shoulders, wide hips and a thin waist that I want to widen.

No.

I'm quite inflexible - can't touch my toes, kick very high.
If I do dynamic stretches every morning, will this help, say, over a few months?
I want to start boxing, but I don't want to be a popsicle stick when I start.

Beginners gain muscle pretty fast, but remember that it's not really noticeable until the 8-10 month mark.

Just don't irritate it.

There is no reason to be worried about a hernia especially at that low of a weight. 145 is still beginner-tier. If you're having pain it's likely you are fucking up form or it's an unrelated issue.

Stretching will help, yes. My roommate literally couldn't deadlift when we first started going and now can do it just fine. Your body gets used to it.

few questions lads, so i'm running a lot lately (6 times a week) to try and improve my cardio for when i join the army. i have about the absolute minimum fitness required for what i want to do.
when i run i find myself stopping due to mentally giving up rather than exhaustion or muscle fatigue, this will develop over time so what i do at the moment is run until i tell myself to stop then carry on after a minute or so. should i be doing that or trying hard to push even though i think im tired?

>my wrist hurts after push ups
push up off your fists not palms

It's nice to hear about your roommate

I mean, it sounds more like you're getting winded. Just lower your intensity and focus on endurance.

after training my biceps yesterday, I woke up not being able to straighten my arms? And the pain is not only in my biceps, but my joints aswell? Am I fucked? What do?

DOMS
It'll go away, you didn't hurt yourself, yes you can still train (don't train biceps today though, you need to recover obviously)

It's important to discern between pain and soreness. Soreness is normal. Pain is not.

How much can you straighten? If you can't go past 90 degrees be worried but if you can go most of the way and the inside of your elbow hurts, that's normal your ligament is very sore. Give it a rest for a few days, don't overtrain.

Are they Iberian though? I want her but since I can't then I'm fine with any other brunette with blunt bangs from Northern Spain/Greater Portugal(Galicia).

>sore
>adj.
>painful or aching

>ligament
I mean tendon

i got the first version

roommate broke them because they were standing vertically on the GROUND, and he tipped them over as a joke and they shattered
on
the
carpet

couldn't even be mad at him

anyway, bought the latest version, they seem to be working fine. the catch is, you have to set them down very gently

don't be a dullard.

In lifting, you've got soreness (a dull ache or pressure) and pain (sharp, very noticeable, unable to use for anything under pressure).

Any swimmers have recommendations for good, durable swim caps for young adult males with medium-length hair? Any swimming programs to suggest (something like SS except for swimming), or tips for asthmatic swimmers? I know how to swim, but I'd like to apply my time as appropriately as possible within a routine frame.

I'm sick, so I probably won't train this week. However, when I come back to training, what weight should I go back to? Deload 5%? 10%?
Currently I'm doing TM, squat 157.5kg for 5, deadlift 202.5kg for 5. Due to elbow problems I haven't been able to bench properly, but it's at 105kg for 5.
Any suggestions?

If you're out for a week? Try what you were at.
2? Deload like 5-10% depending on lift.

t. a guy was sick all last month and had to deload like 20% upon return

So just redo the weight from last week?

yup

I'm primarily a runner/cyclist and my arms are incredibly weak compared to my legs so I've started doing some pushups at home, but since I'm 6'3 and 220 lbs it means that bodyweight exercises are always going to be an uphill battle for me, even if I lose weight, because of my height and I can barely do a single full pushup.

Should I just pick up some dumbbells and use them instead? What exercises should you do to train all the different parts of your arms?

Curls, hammer curls, skullcrushers, DB bench/flyes, lat raises, DB raises. All dumbbell stuff you can do at home for upper body. You can also use them to add weight to ab exercises.

you can build up bro i am your height and 250 and can do 50

What weight should a man be at 6’0” to be a man

Does anybody else pyramid bench? What are the upside/negatives?

Been stalling 1.95 pl8's on 5x5, dropping to 1.9 at 3 reps sometimes, for a few months now.

Started stalling on squads at 2.05 pl8's so i pyramid them now starting at 1pl8, then 2pl8's, 2.6 pl8, 2 then 1. Just not sure pyramids are as good for building chest as 5x5 would be.

sup /fit, im cutting for the first time on a 1000 calorie deficit, is it worth still going to the gym or am i wasting my time ?

I know but the progress is so slow and doing more advanced bodyweight moves is basically impossible if you're tall

go the the gym and do a proper routine instead of fucking around and thinking doing what is basically jack shit at home is going to bring around any results whatsoever

How many pullups and dips should I be able to do before I start doing them weighted ?

for pull-ups at least around 12-15 rep area if you are in for the gainz

once you can do 3 sets of 5 if you are super keen

wouldn't soy technically make them even more attractive? According to my penor, my theory is correct.

god this board shouldn't exist anymore

who here actually lifts anymore?

With stomach vacuums, are you decreasing the risk of hernias at the cost of damaging your brain, since you have to hold your breath and all.

For me it was after I could do 3x8

Been running 4 miles a day (except on Saturday) and not added strength training. I'm trying to cut, and I don't know the ideal amount of strength training, amounts of routines, sets, and how often.

Im assuming 3-4 days with 3-4 different workouts, separate days into upper, lower, and total, and do about 3 sets each workout with some kind of warm up...

Clearly this is not something you have to worry about

>is retaining muscle during a cut a good idea?
Gee, I wonder.

I was told to get bronkaid for the ephedra, how much do i take? What about if im fasting?

Keep cutting or start eating at maintenance?

Attached: IMG_20180319_000303.jpg (1512x2688, 1.02M)

is it bad to go the gym more than once a day? ive already been this morning but im bored as fuck, if i go again later will it kill gains?

maybe you should lift more

Does it matter when i consume my protein? I usually do IF + Massive veggie only lunch and then have meat + shake in the evening so most of my proton sources are consumed after the day has passed, am i fuking this up?

I've been lifting for 3 months.

bathmates are wicked but one time i went way too hard and my dick was bruised and ugly as shit for like a week

Last week I DL'd 3x5 95kg and on the last set my right thumb was losing grip bit I could finish the set

Today I moved up to 3x5 100kg and on my 2nd set 3rd rep I kept dropping the weights cause of my grip. I had no issues with my 1st set. I'm starting to think doing negative chins before DL is a bad idea. What do?

Your body needs to rest so go there and do some meme ab work.

I'm cutting at a 500cal deficit and added loads more cardio to my workout week. My body looks leaner (started cutting a bit over a month ago) but my weight on the scales has barely changed. Anybody else experience this?

How should I go about building muscle mass?

I read these workout plans and the abbreviations are too much effort.

I've already been on SS5x5 for awhile.

I went from being 170cm and 95 kilos and I'm down to 72.3 kilos.

The body scanner says I'm 11 kilos of fat.

Lost 7 kg in 6 weeks, with diet and workout. Wasn't torturing myself with fasting. Last week I didn't lose anything even though I paid careful attention to my macros and deficit.

How long do I have to do noporn before my dick starts working again? It's been 2 months and I still can't maintain an erection with my gf.

Maybe
Water weight, not counting properly, oil ect.

Weight when wearing clothes, inaccuracy of scales.

How hydrated you are ect

Once you get thinner your TDEE goes down, expect to lose less easily

Wheigh myself at the same time every Sunday, before breakfast, after toilet, naked. I guess my metabolism is slowing down a little

possible muscle gainz too

You should see a doctor bro, no fap isnt going to work likw that. Get some viagra or a dragon dick for your gf

Please send help.

see a doctor incase you damaged your hand, or just rest for a while to see if it clears up

What do I do if I can't lose any weight lately? I've been stuck at 182 (down from 240) and I recalculated my TDEE so I'm eating 500-800 calories under that, mainly high protein low carb and my weight loss has completely stalled for nearly 3 weeks. I've tried eating maintenance calories, above, fasting for a day etc and I'm not losing anything across 3 scales on different surfaces. I'm losing hope lately.

Shoud I stop consuming any sodium or something (water weight?), I remember my last stall it took 2 weeks of same weight then I woke up one day and lost like 8lbs and never gained it back. Don't remember what I changed.

There's no pain but I think I "overused" my grip? How do I even train that grip anyway?

>SS5x5
Starting strength is 3x5 tho. You're probably doing StrongLifts (SL).

>How should I go about building muscle mass?
Train hard, eat a lot, rest enough. Add weight each session until you can't anymore, the gains will come.

I've seen an urologist, there's nothing wrong with my dick physiologically. I'm able to get rock hard with porn (or used to, I'm not watching it anymore), just have trouble without it. It's been getting better, but still not good enough.

try mixed grip on your working sets if you have to

the bitch is ugly and her body is pretty nasty so idk if even viagra will help

>tfw fell for the thicc (obese) mommygf meme

this is a brazilian singer btw

yeah you probably just overworked youre grip, lay off such heavy weight until it feels better.
there are excerises for grip but ive heard theyre a waste of time cos compounds work them anyway

Let's say I eat eggs, fatty fish, possibly protein powder, and have a balanced diet in terms of veggies and legumes and fruit and shit.

Would there be any nutritional reason for me to eat meat? In other words, would I be missing anything by not eating meat?

thicc erections
chest hair
full head of hair
muscle

Why the fuck do idiots think eggs are bad for you? My mother in law read somewhere that eating more than two eggs per day destroys your liver because eggs contain poison, according to the doctors (she didn't say which doctors). I eat around four per day.

I have to take her """"advice"""" because otherwise I'm being very """"disrespectful"""".

>have a balanced diet
Doesn't that answer the question? If you're hitting your macros and your protein isn't 100% plant based (so you get all the aminoacids), nothing else matters

>eat below maintenance
>plenty of protein, a few carbs, some fats
>continue progressing with lifts
>build muscle, burn fat
Literally why is this not possible?

I don't really want to take the easy way out. What happens when I start losing grip strength using mixed grip? Start using straps? It's a slippery slope brah.

Alright, although I won't consider a 2pl8 DL heavy but seems like my DYEL body can't handle it. Thanks man!

>wants to build muscle
>eating below maintainance

thats why
