Anyway the Japanese bench only guys I know do a press variation every session, six times a week. They'll only do one equipped session a week though. If they're raw they'll always do comp bench but very rarely go above rpe 7-8 (paraphrasing) and just do a ton of volume for the bench muscles.

Deadlift.

Why aren't you getting that free, easy test boost from having sex, plg?

>There has been lots of discussion about porn and excessive masturbation possibly lowering testosterone and disturbing the activity of androgen receptors and brain dopamine receptors. This has naturally led to the fact that many men are now scared of having too much sex as they think this would “drain” them from testosterone and be associated with similar negative effects as masturbation and excessive porn viewing.

>Fret not, the good news are, that sex with a real person, does not decrease testosterone levels. In fact, research has shown that sex is one of the best – and arguably most enjoyable – ways to increase natural testosterone levels for free.

>But how can that be? Sex and masturbation are basically the same thing?

>Answer: Sex and masturbation are not the same thing at all. In real sex, you get the effects that woman’s pheromones have on the male body, you get the effects that come from the feelings of power and domination, you get a steady flow of dopamine instead of a quick rush, etc.

Get rekt, incels.

>pheromones

Broscience.

hhahah you really showed those incels! now get the fuck out of here faggot

How much does it increase testosterone, though? Will a man who constantly fucks hos make more gains than a man who doesn't? You also have to factor in the loss of sleep which will affect recovery and performance in the gym.

>loss of sleep
Why would you lose sleep?

Because you're fucking hos all night.

The incel cope.

Testosterone is nature's reward to men for not being lazy.

Because I don't think its worth having sex with just anyone and I value sex in a committed relationship over easy hookups.

So if I'm going to take the meme of 2x weekly bench training, can I do heavy OHP on the 3rd day? Currently doing Cuckol's 3x int med which is working quite well for me, I guess I just replace the AMRAP day 3 with something else?

Also other than dips and pushdowns, what's a good tricep exercise that's easy on the elbows? Skullcrushers I really like but they give me elbow tendonitis, even when doing them light

t. baby bencher

bench press is the best gauge of RAW PHYSICAL STRENGTH. you only downplay this because you're a pudgy, weak little shit of a manlet with an equally embarrassing bench press.

nobody gives a shit that you can bounce your morbidly obese gut off of your legs for your little bullshit wide stance "squat". nobody cares about your 5 inch ROM sumo "deadlift".

bench. press. is. king.

if you're the one who made this post you're the cringelord here

>i am too much of a chicken shit coward to refute your claim and will not even make the attempt, sir

i accept your mental surrender. i hope you can cope with being a weak faggot with shit lifts, little man.

I want to die

are you ok?

God I love anime

>have a pretty bad skin rash
>doctor tells me to rub some steroid cream on
>do it
>a few weeks after starting the treatment (still ongoing since january) notice i'm starting to lose a little hair, got acne again real bad, hair is growing on my chest and back much faster than it normally does, and i'm making decent gains even though i'm cutting
what the fuck? did i accidentally placebo myself into thinking the steroid cream was juice, because it has "steroid"in the name?
serious question

(i already posted something similar a while back but forgot to talk about the rash/cream which seems like a pretty big factor to me)

What's a nice happy song?

You're welcome!

Listened to it to death

This is cool

I only know comfy sad songs. Would you like that instead?

...

>squat suit, knee wraps, and bench shirt coming in 2-3 days
I am become meme

youve never even squated or deadlifted 500+ yet either correct?

Give him a break, he'll squat 400 in the suit.

I'm moreso focused on the bench shirt. The squat and deadlift come later.

So I just realised I have an issue with anxiety I think

Red pill me on not caring about things

Have you got a sad sounding song that has a positive message about life getting better

ah yes so you can at least bench press twice your bodyweight without the shirt, yes?

You should get a squat suit so you can bend over and pick up your empty whisky bottles.

No

You are a disappointment to me.

it boils down to this: why should you care about others when they don't care about you

or you can take the sociopath pill and actively look down on others as just tools to manipulate

I'm not anxious about that. Maybe I used the wrong word???

either way grow the fuck up and sort yourself

Wasn't my question, how?

Guys I'm a 4 who's going bald.

Tell me getting strong will make it better.

and my answer is grow up and sort yourself anxiety is a meme blanket phase thrown around by brainlets what exactly do you feel and why do you want to change it

I'm afraid I'll die

we all will get over it and start accomplishing goals, find some meaning, and clean your room

I am trouble and I'm afraid I'll die because of it

>>and clean your room

what did you do lmao it cant be that bad

Snap this dick, faggot

>Bw multipliers
I expected better from you

I upset a gang and I'm afraid they're gonna come get me. I haven't been able to sleep properly for over a year because of it.

I'm feeling a burning pain in the area between my shin and knee on both knees, as well as pain on their respective outer sides. Is it a good idea to just stop squatting for a few days until it's gone or should I just lift at like 50% load for squats or something?

lower load and warm up better and do lunges

>go to bed at 9pm
>fall asleep instantly cuz tired
>sleep all the way through until alarm wakes me at 5:30
>tired as fuck and I wish I could keep sleeping

I don’t get this

>lower load
By how much roughly?

When I was getting up at 4/5am I was going to bed at 7ish at the latest. You just need the sleep idk.

>at 7
What? That’s 10 1/2 hours mate.
So you are telling me 8 1/2 hours is simply not enough to wake up refreshed and not tired?

That's just how it was for me when I had such a Christian bedtime routine. I'd fall asleep at 6/7, wake up at 4/5am feeling super refreshed.

But that’s a lot of time just wasted on sleeping, damn.
I couldn’t go to be at 7, everyone is still awake and loud everywhere and it’s bright as fuck

Yeah this was just a period of my life where everything was good.

Now its 5am and I'm here talking to you and I haven't even slept yet and I have an exam soon lol.

Go to bed right now, user

What have you been doing all night?

Well I went to bed at 1 and all I've really done is jerk off

Hey Fellas, So I havent posted here in probably 3 years and havent really lifted for about a year and a half.
My stats when I left were: 240kg sq 170kg bp 220kg dl at a lean 90-95kg. This was towards the end of my only ever test e cycle. After I finished the cycle I just lost interest in lifting.
Keen to get back into it, Ive turned into a weak piece of shit and it feels kind of pathetic.

Id like some advice.

Does anyone do a program with high frequency deadlifts?

I hate long sessions and want to keep them as short as possible, Id also like to really work on my deadlift.

Thinking something like this:

>Mon: Deadlifts 3x10

>Tues: Legs 5x5, bench 5x5 and pull ups 5x8 either supersetted with legs or bench to save time.

>Wed: Deadlifts 3x10

>Thurs: Legs 5x5, OHP 5x5 and pull ups 5x8 either supersetted with legs or OHP to save time.

>Fri: Deadlifts 3x10

>Sat: Legs 5x5, bench 5x5 and pull ups 5x8 either supersetted with legs or bench to save time.

>Sun: rest or light cardio/ recreation

I will alternate the OHP and bench ie the next Tuesday will start with OHP

I will be trying to go before work, as thats the only free time I have. Id like to be at the gym before 5am, any tips for getting up early?

I used to do heavy, low reps and low frequency for deads and my 1rm always sucked, so Im going to try something new.

Whats new here? Are Isley, Noresefat, bryce or that finnish bloke with the long hair still around?

When your technique is on point all you ever need is one deadlift session in a week.

Got any proof?
I had quite good form and my dl was still garbage

>After I finished the cycle I just lost interest in lifting.
Lol roiders btfo. Dont worry you're gonna lose interest again.

>Lol roiders btfo. Dont worry you're gonna lose interest again.
During my cycle I fucked 19 different girls and got into a fight with 4 junkies in a movie theatre. I was mired by countless people and my lifts (mainly my BP) went through the roof.
Its a strange feeling knowing that no matter what room you walk into youre going to be the undisputed alpha male.

It was the best 12 weeks of my life, but everything after that has just been on a downward slope.

Would not recommend.

I've done it. It worked fairly well. Usually does not play nice with high frequency squatting but I've seen people pull the two off together.

That said, I don't think its best to sit in one rep range with one movement when you're trying to push it hard. It only ever worked for me when I had a mix of heavy/rep/power work.

>I’d personally drop the volume on two of your deadlift sessions. It is possible to deadlift more than once a week but you might find your progress stalling. I’d say have a high volume day like 3x10 as you suggest then have a day where you go for a 1-5RM and have your other day be a sub 50% form day. Alternatively you could try alternating deadlift styles like conventional one day, sumo another day and block/rack pulls the third.
Was posting in another thread and someone suggested this. Thoughts?
