>What can I do to make my farts less disgusting-smelling?
>When I shit, I can't seem to shit entirely and when I wipe, I end up doing it endlessly because when I relax my sphincter and put a little pressure behind the wipe there's always a little spot of shit I presume from poop that is there but will not come out. What do?
Anybody have any more infographics like these? Also, I'm 20 and the most I've ever worked out is in cross country in grade school. I have a solid build and a big chest, looking to just get fit in general
I've been taking lactase pills so I can consume dairy as it is a big part of my bulk and I enjoy it. But since my body is being provided the digestive enzyme externally, is it possible that taking lactase pills suppresses my body's natural production of lactase?
That's a possibility if you are on them for too long
Aiden Bailey
You can't really trim down the bottom so you gotta bulk up top. Double your upper body work or something
Lucas Williams
What excersizes will the waist?
Noah Wood

Easton Nguyen
Skinny newfag here. What's the best book to learn the basics of dieting? One that someone who is just starting out lifting can use to figure out how to make the right diet, when they are trying to build a body from nothing basically.
Can anyone give me a beginner program that balances strength and hypertrophy? Every program that I see is always pretty much strength or hypertrophy only.
Are dragon flags considered an isometric exercise?
Jordan Turner
Just do SS or SL for a few months then switch programs. If you don't have the patience, you were never gonna make it anyway
Jack Turner
I have a pair of 10lb dumbbells I keep in my room to curl while reading in bed--does fucking around with light weights and high reps do anything or am I wasting my time?
Nicholas Bennett
I'm a peudo-newbie who just wants to lift for hypertrophy, I don't care about strength, how retarded is my program? I go A: chest and tris, B: back and bis, C: shoulders and legs. I also do ab stuff and 16 100 metre sprints 3x a week each. My week goes
Since I started eating healthier and working out, I've been getting runny/bloody noses. Is there a reason to this, if so, how could I fix it?
Jaxon Bennett
Stop sodomizing yourself faggot
Cooper Evans
Just got my wisdom teeth out and got prescribed vicodin for it. Now I'm constipated. Help me shit guys.
Ryan Morgan
gonna start doing PHUL anything i should know and how should i progress on my weights?
Jeremiah Campbell
Pinched a nerve
Prune and other fruit juices
Brody Brooks
for getting my lift numbers up, should I be doing 3x5 or 5x5? I see more recommendations for SS
Current- 5x5 OHP: 75 Bench: 125 Squat: 165
1x5 Deadlift: 205
Robert Gomez
My forearms hurt like fuck and have been for the last two weeks It's getting to the point where the pain is unbearable as I'm lifting/right after I finish lifting, and then hurt throughout the day Did I fuck up?
Luis Lopez
1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8th column are absolute garbage.
Henry Lee
if I go on a moderate cut for about a month and a half while staying on a strength program will I lose more strength compared to fat? At maybe 15-20% BF and getting decently strong (1/2/3/4+), really want to cut up for the summer but I have no experience and I don't want to just skelly mode myself for no reason.
they work your core isometrically but not your arms(lats). Dragon flags can also be done with the spine going through flexion and extension like in this video they aren't an isometric youtube.com/watch?v=-kxkzg2E4Po
why do you even care if its considered an isometric
Jacob Rivera
Bits of a newbie here. My main exercises are pushups, dumbbell curls, planks, crunches etc. How many sets/reps of each should I be doing exactly? I'm sure this is a shitty routine but I can't go to a gym.
any particular exercise causing the pain? or exacerbating the pain?
Does it hurt at the beginning/during/after you finish the exercise?
Both forearms/ only one forearm?
If you squeeze your forearms can you localize your pain towards the elbow / towards the middle / towards the wrist?
Noah Wood
Curls mostly. Pretty much any other exercise causes some pain but not nearly as much as curls. During and after. Both forearms but it's worse in the right. The worst of the pain is on the entire side of the forearm.
Ethan Gutierrez
What type of curling are you doing with what type of bar
Camden Mitchell
Bilateral Curl bar
Isaiah Perez
the gym i go to has these rubber things that probably attach to the barbell but i have no idea what they are called, anyone have any idea? its a small gym and i have never seen anyone use them
Weird, if you're using an ez curl bar and keeping your elbows close to your body you shouldn't be getting any forearm pain. If all exercises cause pain you may want to take a break from most forearm moves since you may have injured yourself somehow, and those movements are stopping the whatever from healing.
John Howard
Slowly add fiber both soluble AND insoluble. Beans, whole grain rice, veggies, psyllium husk.
Nathan Davis
wait how are you doing bilateral curls with a bar? why not use a dumbell?
is it a straight or ez bar? and what type of grip are you using, thumbless or normal?
Isaac Jones
please respond
Lincoln Morris
You have forearm splints. Congratulations. I don't know how many times I have to write this. No more curling with the bar for you. here is how you treat it. >don't do exercises that cause pain >find a way of doing exercises that cause pain without them causing pain >after you finish a painful exercises slowly release tension in your grip. Don't drop it immediately. Take your time like 10-20 seconds. >learn about wrist stretches, you want to be doing "wrist extensor stretch" >if you watch a video and some guy shows you a wrist stretch while standing up its garbage. Do wrist stretches that have you kneeling on the floor. >do strength exercises for your wrist extensors. >you could do some wrist exercises involving "radial deviation" and "ulnar deviation"
and drop the curls for a week or so. After that you are only doing hammer curls. No bar curls.
Former obese fag here. Ive lost about 115 lbs, but i cant seem to fill out certain areas of my loose skin.
Mainly love handles, man boobs, and pubic area. Is surgery my only choice?
Julian Robinson
im trying to cut out soda
is gatorade an improvement as an alternative?
David Nelson
Oblique stuff maybe, do Russian twists and side bends.
Noah Perez
Switch to carbonated water, then go to regular water.
Gatorade while not working out is just as bad as soda.
Ian Moore
a lot, how often are you doing this? theres a lot of ways of doing this, if you're doing lets say 4 sets of 12 reps of each exercise this week then maybe add another set next week do 5x12 or 3x20, then the following week you do 6x12 or 4x20 and so on you can also do different exercise variations like diamond push ups instead of regular pushups etc for weighted exercises like curls you can either go up in weight or volume like i mentioned before but the basically keep progressing each week by adding weight, doing more sets or doing more reps
Ryder Ward
>is gatorade an improvement as an alternative? Not really. Maybe if you're drinking soda during workouts like some weirdo.
Hunter Nelson
>Switch to carbonated water,
cant drink that shit without gagging
what about switching to OJ and then water?
Adam Phillips
depends on the time you were fat, if you were fat for many years than maybe it will never go back to normal just wear compression shirts or if you're going to go shirtless somewhere then get surgery there's a lot of youtube content on loose skin
Ian Allen
nah you can do it. But bodyweight training requires you to know how to progress exercises and how to have a proper form on 200+ exercises. download foundation or look on gen lib rus for Overcoming gravity.
Add some shit for your lats. Handstands for traps arch body hold for lower back Replace planks with Planche Leans Replace crunches with V ups and Hollow body holds.
do high reps (15 reps) medium intensity for the first 1-4 months. This is your work capacity work. After that go to harder variations where you can barely do 5 reps. For example progressing from 15 Push ups to -> 5 Pseudo Planche push ups.
Once you transition from work capacity to strength training you want to keep one day of the week where you train high reps medium intensity so your week should look like 3-5 days of 5x5reps and 1 day 5x15-20 reps
Cameron Lewis
if i was to wear a weighted vest for extended periods of time would that negatively impact my health?
Henry Perry
your posture might suffer in this day and age where everybody has shitty posture.
Josiah Walker
What are some things I could eat at night to stop further food cravings?
Alexander Green
How do I stop feeling so unhealthy when I exercise
Every time I go running I just feel fat and busted jointed
honestly depends on the program, you can actually get stronger even on a cut the only thing you loose in my experience is focus which makes you sometimes lift less weight, but its minimal
Jacob Allen
Eat a healthy dinner
Charles Taylor
your not wasting your time if you keep adding sets and reps
Joshua Wright
yea its a waste
Owen Harris
Water
Sebastian Jackson
cubital tunnel syndrome
Angel Brown
yeah you are
at some point it's going to be such a low intensity he won't get anything out of it
Owen Green
>at some point that point is one month away
Charles Lewis
I'm fat but have a good personality. I work with 2 very hot young girls that both flirt with me.
A Jow Forumsizen decided to show up to work there now and the girls are all over him. Thots to be sure, but I was trying to hit.
What are the chances they'll settle for me when this guy is a thirsty ass motherfucker that would gladly into both of them?
Julian Morris
go away loser
Thomas Anderson
Not him but my braps smell awful because I eat a lot of garlic. I think I'll just settle for an arab gf cause they're used to it
Gabriel Hall
>I'm fat >A Jow Forumsizen decided to show up to work there 1% chance. Why would they downgrade to you?
>Thots! Lmao
Owen Sanders
I knew it. Thanks, Jow Forums. No one fat shames me IRL.
Be kind, put a fatty in his place.
Ethan Kelly
Actually now that I think about it, maybe some more info would be good.
>why would they downgrade to you? The guy is black. >>Thots! I mean the one girl already gave me head. I just started working there 3 weeks ago. >I give the best head >I love sucking dick Shit was teenager-tier at best.
Lincoln Morgan
Once you go black you don't go back to some fatty
Adam Rodriguez
I think that might be a simple lever for deadlifts, helps you raise the bar off the ground so plates slide on easy
Joshua Jackson
Femanon here What bf% do I have to be at for my lower abs to start showing? The top 2 are somewhat visible now and my bf is 22%, if that matters. I'd really like to have a 6pack for summer.
other than pullups, are there any bodyweight back workouts worth doing?
Jonathan Howard
Looks fine brah
Nicholas Evans
Back extensions for lumbar.
Anthony Nguyen
front lever advanced tuck front lever rows for you. handstand press but you need a lot of work to achieve that. Rope climbs
Adam Russell
i hear if you fuck a lot of different dicks your abs will show from the cardio
Adrian Carter
Anyone else have a problem every now and then with their elbows giving in? I'm pretty sure it's not my posture because I'm been doing these lifts for a good while never having these problems before. It's not a pain in particular but it just feels like my elbows are weak, wanting to give in.
>1). Since your liver produces it, do you even need dietary cholesterol at all? No. And it doesn't affect your cholesterol levels when you consume it. >2). Does cholesterol increase muscle gain? It helps with recovery. It's not going to increase it unless your cholesterol levels are low, which they're not. >3). Does cholesterol increase testosterone? No.
Camden Murphy
If my bench stats suck dick and I never feel it in my pecs, should I just deload and work on form in high volume or switch to dips/pec flies for a while?
Dominic Hernandez
what's the difference between cholesterol and BLOOD cholesterol?
if someone went vegan for example, which one would that even affect?
Juan Gray
>should I just deload and work on form Yes. > in high volume or switch to dips/pec flies for a while? No. Proper form is important if you're not feeling it in your chest.
Luis Ross
Veganism is cancer. It lowers your cholesterol levels across the board. Heart doctors think this is a good thing. They die of heart attacks at the same rate as everyone elese.
Andrew Price
>Proper form is important if you're not feeling it in your chest. True. Got some mild gyno too so I got way more reason to need chest growth than most. I'll try and get a spotter to help out.
Austin Thompson
2100 TDEE I've had ~1500 kcal today eat 170 kcal nature valley bar? it's peanut I'm largely indifferent but still on the fence
Asher Robinson
>what's the difference between cholesterol and BLOOD cholesterol?
for a 3pl8 DL, what should your working weight be for barbell back extensions (3x12)?
Parker Gray
I wanna continue getting muscular and strong. I’ve been doing Candito Linear strength for a while now and i dont think i can progresss linearly anymore (345/255/400) at 160lbs 5’10. I wanted to jump on candito 6-week but holyshit i cant deadlift and squat on the same day without wanting to die everytime. Plus that 2nd week looks brutal.
I think im just gonna do a strength/hypertrophy split (upper lower, 2 days power, 2 days hypertrophy) for a little bit to change things up.
What program should i jump on when i get back? So basically, best “powerbuilding” split? Fuck i hate that term
Jacob Young
>I mean the one girl already gave me head. I just started working there 3 weeks ago. How the fuck does this happen, lost /v/irgin here.
Owen Peterson
Can muscle be built while cutting? Anyone experience this? If you're deficit isn't extreme and your lifts are slowly still progressing
Colton Miller
I don’t have any advice but I just gotta day you must look really fucking good to have those stats at your height and weight
Actually I do have advice, you could do 5/3/1, monthly progression.
Luke Harris
Been losing for 8 months after 10 years or so of obesity. The answer is yes, but very slowly and only if you didn't really have any muscle before.
