Could be posture, genetics, technique, effort, etc..

You should really add more to your chest repertoire. Dips, dumbbells, and cable exercises. Work on compounds, then do chest isolated work to get ze pump and push until it feels like your tits are going to explode.

Might find this article interesting. It's a suggested modification to SS for bench and press if they stall, but are still van progress in squat and deadlift.

I've heard good things about the Nuckols 3x intermediate bench programs. You could try doing that, but do it for OHP instead of bench press.

Is it bad to rest in the middle of a longer run? Say I'm running 10 miles, if, at mile 5, I rest for a few minutes and get some water, am I doing it wrong?

Go the righteous way of the 5/3/1

I spend the night awake funposting and masturbating to anime and have to go work in an hour, how will staying awake affect my gains? Anything I should do or not do?

>running

I've started doing body recomp and I'm not sure if I should also do cardio. I've been running a mile as a warm up. Will this kill my gains?

My bench has recently been working up to my bodyweight. My wrists bend backwards on it. I know. I'm working on correcting that. Especially with this...

I've suddenly noticed the past few weeks that when playing guitar (my side gig for the past 10 years), in certain positions, I get a trigger finger lock on my index finger, and have to manually yank it back into position with my other hand. It's borderline traumatizing for somebody like me who gigs two nights a week at least (on top of a 40 hour a week salary job working at a keyboard for 65 grand).

I've been lifting for the past year or so. I've noticed my fret-hand looks a little swollen and bulging compared to my non-fret hand. I'm working to correct my wrists pulling back on push movements, but it's tough.

That said, is there anything else I can do to prevent tendonitis/trigger finger symptoms? I've noticed one night it was just lockup up that finger with no warning feeling like trigger finger, other times I'm just getting bad muscle-feeling strains and cramps in my forearm on that side.

For context: When I was a kid, I had a tendon growth issue. As I was growing, my leg tendons would not grow anywhere near the speed my bones, muscles, and body grew, and so I had to do a rigorous stretching regiment to keep my leg tendons in check with my body. Fingers crossed, is it possible that my muscles are just growing fast enough to the point that I need to start doing these exercises on all my tendons again?

I really love lifting, and I really love guitar. IF I had to pick, guitar would take precedent, but I'd be a depressed hulk of shit if I lost lifting ;_;

If I do both, I’m sore for a few days

Try doing bulldog grip and using wrist wraps on presses. It's better spending a few bucks and sacrificing your 100% raw status than fucking your wrists.

Thanks user. I've always had very skinny wrists. I may take your advice to heart, although I would like to toughen my wrists up. Maybe I need to slow down the gains for a while to let my tendons catch up, since they have a history of not keeping up. I just hope I haven't done any long-lasting damage over this past year and a half. I do notice the characteristic dull popping noise of the tendons when I move around my left hand in various ways, that I mostly don't hear with the right.

no longer able to increase weight each workout, should I go to increasing each week, or should I start a routine with few week blocks?
lifts are
bench 80kg x5
ohp 50kg x5
squat 115kg x5
deadlift 150kg x5
I was considering just doing a HLM type routine and just upping the heavy day by 2.5kg a week

Been lifting 3½ months now and I'm stalling at a punt 80kg squat (69kg BW).

I'm doing SL5x5 and I've deloaded 2 times. What do I do? Just keep banging my head against the brick wall or change to an intermediate routine (even though I should be squatting far, far more by now).

I didn't like 5x5 for squats, it just felt like too much to recover from if I was going to be squatting again two days later
maybe try 3x5 for squats and see how you go, or look at doing wednesday at 80% of monday for 2 or 3 sets to give yourself more time to recover

I’ve recently started going out with this tall Amazonian goddess (blond hair) and she’s into sports/fitness health the whole kitchen kaboodle.
Now my concern lies with her brother, we were watching tv yesterday when he turned and asked me what was w the guy in my?
I just couldn’t answer him because I’m not sure how I want this relationship but I’m hoping it could lead somewhere otherwise I I’m I’ll see if you want it to me and then go get some something it will help take you.u

Anyone ever been in the same boat? I’m just too scared for them I to and I just don’t can’t get.
I really like her but I’m under stress from work and possibly moving countries so it might be cruel for a long distance, especially if there’s kids involved.

If you're up for retarded fun stuff google some Jim Wendler challenge programs
The one with 15-rep OHP on the last set really activated my almonds

>what was w the guy in my?
what?

I am joining the Orthodox Christian Church and I am having a hard time finding things to eat on days where we are not supposed to eat animal products. I thought nuts would be a good idea but they have a lot of fat and I would prefer to eat more carbs than fat. Also vegan foods high in protein.

Roasted (and salted) or raw peanuts?

>falling for the religion meme

I have been lifting for 11 months but i got sick and had to start over in febraury. Im wondering why my gains come so slowly, i recently turned 18 btw.
I curl 45 lbs dumbells, deadlift 220 lbs, bench 145 lbs and ohp two 50 lbs dumbells. (im too embarassed to post squat)
Am i doing something wrong? Is my form shit on everything or am i just young so gains come slowly, please help.

>deadlift 220 lbs
I meant to type 275, i do 220 for reps.

Do you eat properly?
Do you sleep properly?
Do you skip workouts?

>Do you eat properly?
Still live with my parents, food is decent, 30%-40% meat, rest is sallad with rice or potatoes
>Do you sleep properly?
I sleep 7 hours a night.
>Do you skip workouts?
When i have joint pains or am sick, never an issue of willpower.

is a rest period of 48 hours between two fast walk (7km in one hour) sessions for a sedentary guy ok? i have no idea if that's too little or too much.

That's more than enough rest, 7km in an hour is not much though, I work with 50 year olds who can do that

i am a turbomanlet with short legs, that's nearly jogging pace for me.

As long as you're benefitting from it then keep at it

Help me fit
Everytime I start lifting I get bloated stomach, i.e. can’t shit properly and constantly smelly farts.
Thing is I also start eating more when lifting so I don’t know if it is some specific food or just the lifting. I also have a friend that lifts and noticed he also has a farting problem and goes a lot to the bathroom unsuccessfully probably.
I really need to fix this shit last time I failed a semester because I couldn’t stay in classes because of awful smell and needing to shit a tiny hard bit. This is fucking up my life, girls avoid giving me a ride knowing the car will smell like shit all roadtrip

Sounds like your friend is barrel chested ie he has a bigger rib cage than you probably. Google barrel chest vs normal chest.

Can I aim to lose 1kg per week if I eat a shitton of protein at regular intervals? I don't have a lot of gains to lose but I REALLY don't want to lose my massive calves. I'm also skinnyfat so I'll be training a lot during this time.

sounds like a reaction to something you are eating

I just cut them as short as I can with scissors.

I keep failing at the same weight on bench

I even gave up for months and had to deload 35% when I came back and as soon as I worked my way back up (with no fails) I fail on the exact same weight again

don't know what to do

Eat more, add another 250 a day
Keep your water and sodium up
Its also probably psychological
Review form
change routine for bench, try 5/3/1, add in 1RM days etc, try and break the programming plateau

Are BCAA like creatine where it does have an effect but it's not really noticeable? My girl bought some and quit because she can't """feel""" a difference. She doesn't really workout very heavily anyway, mostly cardio and lightweight. So I'm taking them now but I'm not sure if I should get more when it's out.

Also, is this a good way to achieve ottermode?
>cut down to a reasonable level
>cleanbulk back up
>rinse and repeat
How long is the otter road?

Work on your back too. Having big pecs doesn't mean a big chest if your scapular abductors are weak. Do rows and chin-ups.

posture, Check if you have rounded shoulders or whatever the fuck its called

BCAA's are amino acids they occur naturally in food you won't feel them work any more than you feel a steak work or notice a difference from chicken.

So basically if I eat a balance diet they're useless? No point in not using them for now but I guess I won't buy more if that's the case.

Forgot my after workout protein shake, did I just waste 2 hours at the gym?

If I only eat carbs only at lunch or dinner, will my body run on fats during the morning, or will I fuck myself up cause I won't be in keto or eat carbs for breakfast?

Background: I'm a welder, I'm on keto cause it gives me nice stable energy throughout the workday (had bad energy spikes and lows when I was eating carbs), but I want to pig out at the jap buffet after work

Tweeze them my friend. Doesn't hurt as bad as you'd think and you get to have a silky smooth shaft

How is it possible that I'm 15-16% BF but still look skinnyfat as fuck?

the surgeon won't take 100% of the tissue or the nips would sunk in so there's always a chance if you engage on stuff like that.

After half a decade of living in this city I finally discovered that there's an outdoor gym with some presses, bars and all.
5 or 6 workout stations in total.

can i get a good beginners routine?
just something casual when i go jogging

eat more?

It's fine to add bicep, lateral delt and ab work at the end of every workout right?
seems fcrom what i've researched you can do these little muscles with really high frequency sin ce they recover reallyu fast and dont really affect the lifts

sleep is one of the most important factors in muscle building. you should aim for as much as possible but try not to sleep more than 9, maybe 10 hours some nights

running should be done after weightlifting, otherwise you wont perform as well and therefore, not reach your maximum potential for gains

Anyone know a good Upper/Lower 3 day split routine for women? The difference being exercises that work muscles women actually want defined

also is it better to do a split or full body routine?

Scenario: you're training for strength/size. You wake up one morning feeling hungry as fuck. You didn't eat much the night before. But then you look at the clock and you've only slept 4 hours.
Assuming you can't go back to sleep after you eat, should you get up and eat, or get a full night's sleep?

I iced it for like, the first month while it was healing, but haven't since then. It has gotten a lot better since it was first injured.

tfw never feel like I've had the proper form for a push-up down properly.

It's frustrating as fuck. I feel like I struggle with what I feel would be a 'proper push-up' far more than I should. Any one have recommendations on best ways to make sure you've got the form for any given calisthenic/lift down? Should I just look into a PT or something? Feel like I'm feeling around in the dark here.

leg raises. on your back hold your legs directly off the ground for 20 seconds, move to 45° 20 seconds, move to 90° 20 seconds. repeat.

Ill look for that brand next time i go thanks, and i know i was like "what the fuck" when i saw it too

I shave it like normal, and to prevent any razor burn I use an exfoliating gel instead of aftershave.

Works wonders on the face too

how the fuck do i gain weight? is there any easy way/thing to do to gain weight because i literally can't force myself to eat that much daily, my gag reflex starts going insane the instant i try eating something when im not absolutely hungry

most people advise against mass gainers because they're pretty full of garbage, but I found it helpful when I first started lifting to help me get used to eating more and being fuller, I would have a mass gainer after dinner most nights, after a few weeks my stomach seemed to stretch and I could manage a lot more food

what are you eating? theres plenty of calorie dense non filling foods like peanut butter

Is it normal for pushups to hurt my wrists?

i've been eating whatever my mom makes, i live at home so whenever she doesnt make shit i just make some stir fry or some random breakfast with chicken or something, and after every workout i drink a protein shake.

were you gaining weight while doing that?

Ive gained 15kg this year, I still keep a mass gainer around in case I haven't gotten enough cals and need a boost before bed, but I find a protein shake with milk is enough most of the time

Try my breakfast shake
3 or 4 or 5 spoonfuls of rolled oats
1 banana
2 or 3 spoonfuls of Greek yogurt
1 or 22 spoonfuls of peanut butter
some cinnamon if you want
whole milk until it's all covered

This should amount to 0.75 liters and around 800, 900 calories

I slam it in around 6 minutes, and when Iyoghur drank it in the mornings I gained weight. It's been the only thing that worked so far, give it a go

During the day eat your normal diet

alright, ill try that out, sounds delicious as fuck too. might put some blueberries on it

If i did arms 4 days a week would they get big ? Im having trouble breaking 15 inches, im getting stronger but their still small

Thanks for asking this. I have the same issue but never dared to ask. Even on here. Thought i was some kind of alien.

provided you were on a surplus sure
just dont over do it, like 4 exercises for biceps every day.
spread your volume, do one or two exercises for each day

I recently decided I didn't have want to to die not knowing peak fitness after years of slovenliness and a poor relationship with food, and so I decided to start cycling and joined a women's rugby team.

I'm having a lot of fun and am returning home after each session feeling beat up all over, in a good way, but after a session on Wednesday where we were practicing lifting jumpers into the air, I've had really bad, dull, deep aches in both forearms. At first I passed it off as some kind of forearm doms because I've had doms in muscles I didn't even knew existed since I started playing, but something doesn't feel right with this. The pain persists throughout the day and is quite deep. Deep to the point where I can't tell if it's muscle or bone that's hurting, and when I flex my fingers it really it intensified. If I had to point out where the pain was localised I'd say it was the extensors.

Google is turning to so many results for so many different things. Does anybody have any idea what I've done and if I should be concerned?
