QTDDTOT

Nice 5s

How do I get my cousin to fall in love with me?
She's really cute, I've always thought that.
I never thought about it before but now that I'm lifting I feel more confident.

Do hanging leg raises mess with your spine like situps do?

Put the extra time into cardio/yoga/cooking/massage. If you arent training something skill based you want to maximise recovery more than raw time

Will doing cardio on the punching bag right after upper body lifts fuck with my gains?

Definitely not natty. And if you aren't natty still probably not worth it. If you take really long rests I could see 1.5 hours but much more is probably too much.

Based

His starting position isn't very good. On all three reps his hips shot up first, and he moved foward slightly. It also looks like he is trying to initiate the lift without using his quads. Should work on keeping tight. Cues are chest up and pushing the floor away instead of pulling the bar up.

I can do 10 chinups so as I understand it I should add 5 lbs. But doesn't the dipping belt weight around that much already? Should I just put on the belt and not attach any weight?

Why don't the KHVs who can afford it pay for a GFE with an understanding escort?

Fuck guys my face is asymmetrical as fuck. Should I just end it?

Any recs for shoes? My buddy strongly recommends converse, but other than that I'm open to anything.

A qt is sitting that close to you, where's the problem

The left side of my face sags and no woman is ever romantically interested. I'm almost 42, bro, and I only have my dog. I want to settle down.

my left side of my abs is more defined wtf?
i can see the ab lines on the left but on the right it is invisible
i thought abs are one muscle and u cant train specific spots explain Jow Forums and give advice thanks

What the hell is locked and unlocked?

Can I mix creatine powder(unflavored) with protein powder(flavored)?
How much creatine should I be take?
I'm 5'10 210lbs and I'll be lifting 2 times a week and do rugby once a week. I usually take 56 g of protein powder with no other supplements but recently got free creatine but I have no idea how much I would need.

His problem is that he's Jason Blaha

you look like a ftm tranny

Yeah you’ll be 100% in about a month

Do you think it’s stupid not to want to start bulking until I’m at my goal weight? Jow Forums says I’m being a fag and should just start eating to gain muscle now and then cut later.

I have an intense aversion to putting on weight at all until I’m “done” and at my goal weight, which right now is 20 lbs away. I don’t know how to put it, maybe former fatties will understand. I’ve lost 64 lbs already. God why did I do this to myself?

That creature is not "a qt".

I was told the exact fucking opposite by users on Jow Forums. Cut to my goal weight, then start bulking. I'd say just lift while cutting. It's totally possible.

How often should I be working out in home gym?

pls halp

Yeah I think I’ll keep cutting. You can only make strength gains while lifting on a cut, right?

Honestly I figured it be more logical to get to my goal weight first then start bulking but I’m a total beginner newfag and generally assume y’all know better than I do.

I've been losing weight and getting gains at the same time. I'm assuming it takes longer, but it's working for me so far.

I haven’t made much gains, but honestly my weight training class is pretty shit and I have nowhere else to exercise.

ANSWER ME Jow Forums

Any tips or places I can look for a good body routine that can be done in a 1 room apartment? I feel like google is only sending me to bullshit "Get abs in 1 week" sites.

How much do I need to weight at 6'0 to achieve ottermode?

Attached: 1517591880474.png (508x698, 482K)

I've been doing the same, but I'm pretty fat to begin with.
It is slow going, but given how long it takes to get stronger, and to preserve my fatstrength instead of just going skelly first, I like it. I've been fat long enough that I don't need to get super skinny. Plus I can do OMAD filling my belly comfortably and staying on point with my calories, since OMAD is the only way I've found to stop my face-stuffing food cravings.

Better to be fat and strong and take a year or two to get lean than to be a weak skeleton starving myself and dying while doing it.

His ass needs to be higher at set up. starts bending towards the end of the movement

Running out of things to eat. It's costing me $100 a week to eat. It's mostly protein like chicken salmon sardines and peanut butter kombucha kimchi mushrooms milk eggs and cold cut. I come out with 4bags. WTF people around me have a full cart and pay less than I do. How do you guys do it?

do push ups work chest/triceps?

3-5g or a teaspoon

I take creative with juice before the gym but most people say it doesn’t matter when you take it. I see no problem mixing it with protein powered

Is thumbless gripping the bar on rows/shrugs/farmer walks/deadlifts better for forearm gains or worse? I have been given mixed responses to this question

nigger

Take 5 grams in your proteine shake. Supposedly it is better to take after you worked out. Rationale is that your muscles take it up better then.

Don't do the preloading bullshit, just take it for a month and you are there too.

I first started to eat a shitload at 6'1 in retard units until I reached my goal with SS. Then I went from 86 to 100kg. Now I am cutting and doing GSLP and are down from 100 to 95, still attaining strength. It just goes slower now.

Now I am a 5'1 fat manlet. Thanks SS.

just try it out...

Why the fuck is it that when I eat normal meals, vegetable, rice/potato meat, I bloat like a motherfucker.
But when I sit down and eat candy and cakes all day I start to even lose weight and get skeleton af
Wtf

1) What's the best way to build up shin endurance?
I haven't run properly in quite a while due to my legs getting fucked up, and only started frequently running again about 1.5 months ago. Sometimes its difficult for me to run each day for 20-30min as my shins hurt way too much. At this point I have this problem much more infrequently but I'd like to get to the point that I can run for an hour every day/other day.
2) What lifts should I supplement martial arts/running with in order to achieve something like pic related.
My weekly gym routine is pretty varied covering all the main muscles/lifts and have been trying to focus mainly on bodyweight and volume over going heavy but I'm wondering if there's something better I could do.
I just want to be light, quick, strong, with a lot of control over my body. Aesthetically just want tone with some volume.

how do you input weighted chinups on symmetric straight?

Weight is not about what you eat but how much you eat.

Brainlet here, what are the guidelines for what foods are good to eat when trying to lose bodyfat. Is it just about consuming less fat?

When I diddly I get pain below my right shoulder blade. Does this mean I'm not holding the bar properly and being too slack in my shoulders?

No, it's mostly about overall calories because carbs are effective fuel when the body wants to build fat stores also.

Try to focus on consuming below your weekly TDEE, and doing so by eliminating carbs and fat where possible. Protein can also be used to build fat stores, but too little protein will result is muscle loss when cutting weight.

It's all in ya head bro

When doing calf raises and shrugs my fingers tend to hurt like fuck and I get red lines just below them on my palm that sting for a little while afterwards. Am I messing something up? I'm trying to hold the bar more towards the top of my palm to prevent callouses but this feels like it might be forming them anyway.

you should aim to consume less carbs, fats arent as bad as carbs but always get anough protein

I work out at my work gym which is on site and free, but quite sub-optimal. they basically have cardio stuff, some machines, free weights and a smith machine. due to this I do all my benches, squats and OHP's on the smith machine. I know this isn't as good as doing it free, but how much is it going to kill my gains? and how much less would i probably be able to lift if i moved somewhere with the proper equipment for free weights?

yes

secondary muscle groups are front delts and core

bomp

u look hot

been lifting for about 13 months, im pretty satisfied with my increase in mass/size, but my bench is dyel. i 1rm 80kg yet i see twinks much smaller than me lift much more on my gym, HOW DO I INCREASE 1RM BENCH!!!!

ok, am doing that. Ive lost 9 kg in past 2-3 months so i guess lower bodyfat comes with lower weight?
i just felt like progress was really slow so i was wondering if i might be losing weight but keeping same bodyfat% or something.
i havent really aimed for low bodyfat before, just strength. I got stronk but at the cost of being a roundboi

if you just lose weight in a vacuum then you will also lose muscle, but if you continue to lift while doing so (bear in mind that you are unlikely to make strength gains) then your body will mostly preserve that muscle and just strip away the fat. In that event, yes losing weight will be losing bodyfat %

I've been running for like 4-5 months now. However, I've hit a wall. I can't see to jog for more than 20 minutes at a time before I feel like I'm about to pass out. Instead of being a nice workout, it's starting to feel terrible and I don't look forward to running anymore.

How do I get past this? I'm not fat but I've never been good at athletics.

What is the optimal bf% judged by your perfomance in strength and endurance?

Having it that stable removes gains from supporting muscles. Honestly just switch to dumbbells if you don't have barbells

just jog at a slower speed, for a longer distance. alternatively you could do HIIT, as long as you don't mind looking like a retard in public

Are you curling your wrist in? I had wrist pain like that but I realized i was curling my wrists reflexively. I relaxed my wrists and it helped.

I already do some of that with bench, the problem is the dumbells max out at 25kg each which i have already reached. I can definitely do that for OHP, but how would i Squat with dumbbells?

For starters, kombucha is cheaper to make at home and salmon is an expensive protein.

Just separate your diet into what you need (carbs, proteins, veggies) and buy cheaper versions of whatever you need

Last time I posted I was admonished for not squatting low enough, how is this? Anything else I'm doing badly?

I think I slightly lost balance and tilted forward on rep 4, I also understand I should get some proper shoes.

I mix my creatine in with my protein powder and I haven't died yet.
The bottle says 1 rounded teaspoon a day so I do that

Google calisthenics and enjoy your /nogains/ regardless of your routine

You should probably just bite the bullet and do Smith squats, then search up supplemental dumbbell leg exercises. I personally like dumbbell squats since lunges fuck with my knees

Depends what you need. Below 8% is dangerous and above 20% is fat

Yes and depends on your diet if you get natural creatine through beef and fish sometimes 2,5-3g. Most people who do creatine "cycles" take around 5-6g daily but I personally believe that to be expensive urine, but decide for yourself.

not low enough, work on your ankle mobility
also
>lowbar

Is it not "thighs to parallel or just below" though?

I'm at 6'0 and 155lb. I probably need another 5-10 pounds of muscle to get there.

Spend a couple months only running 15-20 minutes per day, maybe not even every day. It's annoying having to stop before you feel like you've done anything, but it takes time for your shins and calves to harden up.

>how would i Squat with dumbbells
Split squat or a gorillian reps goblet squat.

I want to do rows but I am very afraid of breaking my knee again, I experience EXTREME pain if my knee is put at a straight position, is is safe to do rows with a bad knee or can I do them sitting or something?

standing rows

hip crease below kneecap is generally the idea, aim for hamstring touching calf. youre only an inch or two out, but you've got no rom in your ankles at all which will help massively.

Is there a way to measure accurately when the calliper method doesn`t work? I can`t grab the fold on my stomache precise enough because of loose skin. It`s always below 1cm because I just get skin and the electric scale at my gym fluctuates around +-5% on the same day. I really can`t judge by pictures as well. I mean my stomache still looks terrible but I start to have visible vains from my chest through my shoulder.

There's a thing at my gym that measures it but otherwise I just use a tape measure. That gets me within like 2%

Wow, OK, I never realised I had such a problem with my ankles. It also is sounding like high-bar squat is preferred.

its just that flexing your ankles and shifting them forward will help sink your hips, look in the webm you posted, ankles shift for the first part then stop dead at a really wide angle. you want to keep those knees moving forward, which will help bring the hips down, but you need ankle mobility to do it.

and highbar is just a personal preference, ignore the meems.

I was always under the impression that the knees should never go forward of the toes, but I've just watched Alan Thrall's squat comparison video and he has his knees going well in front of the toes for the high-bar squat.

So I guess it doesn't matter so much? I've been focusing on my knees not going forward so much that I think it's been impeding my progress.
