Scapulas together, chest out.
If you go so slowly down with higher weights, it could fuck your back a bit

Should you take magnesium after a workout or before sleep?

I reckon since I started lifting my jaw has gotten more pronounced.
Is this normal or am I just imagining it?
I'm 28 so is it just a side effect of growing older rather?

why are lat pulldowns easier with one arm instead of two?

why? shouldn't it be way harder with just one arm?

how do i get big delts without making the traps too big?

Experiences with switching from brosplit to fullbody or the other way in terms of gains? Any real difference or should I just keep going with the brosplit I'm extremely adherent with?

Probably using other parts of your body to compensate and subsequently bearing the weight easier

It's always easy to do 1 side vs both. It takes much more energy/concentration to focus on 2 actions than 1

Lower back pain after heavy dl and/or rom dl. Not sure where going wrong in movement - what to look out for to avoid happening again?

my stocks keep falling, what's the best exercise for that?

My hips hurt from squats and DL with improper form. Should i take a break for a week or two or can i keep lifting as long as i keep my form ok?

If it goes away after one or two days don't worry about it

Weak lower back?

Deadlift form is with using 20kg plates on each side. You cannot have "proper" deadlift form with 10kg on each side, they are too low.

Doesn't matter take it whenever

Probably true, lifting increases test.

Shave a patchy beard. 100% you look better clean shaven or with a stubble.

Full body > bro split. But any routine that is fun and gets you in the gym is good. I find fullbody fun, you find brosplit fun. If it works don't fix it

im 77kg and have been eating 180g protein after i work out, is that the right amount? alsso should i be eating that amount of protein on rest days?

feeder workouts: yes or no?
when?
how many muscles/groups per feeder workout?

Difficult. Big delts = drugs

forever

>after I work out
God how much protein do you have each day?
I have the same amount of protein on rest days too

> not knowing about deficit deadlifts

not bad for a beginner. drop your butt a bit lower/further back, helps to push your chest out and should place your shoulders over the bar, yours are a bit too much in front

muscular pain or nerve / disc pain?

What's the big deal about no showers?

Quick question about protein shake.

So yesterday I bought my first protein powed with creatine (started a week ago). According to this seller I should take two scoops protein powder with creatine in the morning and evening (after workout). However I'm only going to take 5g creatine a day.

I had 2 protein shakes yet, one with milk and another one mixed with water. Two times I felt nausea and had to lay down a bit and felt so full/bad for about an hour.

Any tips?

I never said I wanted to take the easy route

I am using time under tension with slow eccentrics and doing 20 sets of ten machine side lateral raises i try to de activate the tr

I get severe, crippling cramps in my abs doing any kind of abdominal workout. Like, I seriously cannot do even 5 situps without my abs spasming out like someone with Parkinsons and laying me out flat on the floor in pain. Anybody know how to fix this?

next time buy creatine apart.
you don't need protein powder if you eat enough.
if taking x brand of protein makes you sick, switch brands or replace it with real food.
for creatine, drink an extra 1-2l daily on top of your current intake. while not that common, your body might dislike creatine.

How harmful are pinworms?
I'm fairly certain I have them because of continuous anal itching.

Already bought some meds.
Guess I should stop fingering myself after a shower.

I have really narrow shoulders like 18" after lifting for a year, any good way to overcome this?

not that bad, but annoying and contagious. everybody at your household should take the meds.

in order of importance:
drugs
drugs
ohp, incline bench, lat raises, facepull + eat more
more delt isolation of your choice

Have better genetics

Is the itching the same thoroughout the day or only at night? Can you see them in your poo?

Is getting a herniated disc a telling sign that I am doing poor form on DLs and squats? I don't even do heavy weights (lol 120 lb) since I am still DYEL. I also don't specifically work on my core so that could be an issue. I was told by Jow Forums that just doing squats and dead lifts were enough to work on your core anyways so I don't know.

It's apart, I'm quite sure it's the protein that feels like a big rock in my stomach.

According to some calculator I need 141g of protein. I eat a lot of protein rich foor however, a protein shake gets me to that goal easily.

The itching isn't constant, some hours are a bit worse, and sometimes it doesn't itch for a few hours.
It's definitely worse during the evening.
Haven't seen them in my poo yet.

What made you think its pinworms?

The itch.
Thought it was because of the wet wipes first but even if I haven't shit/wiped it still itches.

I've had an itchy arse now for about a week but last night it was fine... there can be different reasons for the itchiness, not just worms right?

It's the most common root cause. Sometimes it's easier to take the meds and check back in a couple of days for confirmation.

>Can you see them in your poo?
Checking poo vs pinworm isn't reliable.
They only show up consistently if it's a big infestation.

Could be.
But pinworms are quite common.

I have one arm significantly stronger than the other. How do I fix this? I can curl around 50 with my right but around 30 with my left.

I'm doing Madcow and want to fats. Will the program still work while I'm not eating?

How the fuck do people lift on a fats? Is there a method I don't know about

>doing two 1RM attempts in one week period
You are just brainlet user, it's ok

Thicc undefined Legs make you look short and fat.

In my case and most cases, high rep sets of squats and leg press tend to make the legs bigger. If I wanted to make them smaller while maintaining definition I would do legs once a week, focusing on low reps with moderate weight and add in some cardio in place of some leg exercises, preferably running or bike.

Does biking lead to calf growth?

6'2 and 300lbs here
I've actually developed some pretty solid cardio over the last 6 months or so, but I haven't lost a single pound. That doesn't really bother me too much, I find the bloatlord/fathletic aesthetic pretty appealing.
I've been seeing excellent results from calisthenics, does anyone have any exercises that will give me good forearm pump? I want to develop THICC forearms, but I don't have any weights or time to go to the gym

tl;dr: forearm calisthenic exercises pls

Attached: King_k.png (684x767, 384K)

no, biking works your thighs. skipping is great for building your calves tho

if its just in one specific area and not your entire abs, it could be a hernia

going fullbody definitely wont hurt your gains, and might help with imbalances.
however, I think it comes down to how often you can train a week. Do you train 4+ times a week?

I'm '5 "3 and 121 pounds. Currently trying to lose belly fat. (13 y/o if that matters). what do?

Is your BF percentage the same?

You could be replacing fat for muscle, which weighs more, and thus, you don't lose "weight" but you lose useless weight.

I haven't properly measured it, I seem to be slimming down but I still have a pretty substantial gut

How do you lose cellulite on belly? I don't mind the fat as I am focusing on strength and gaining muscle but the cellulite on my stomach makes it look ugly, I am happy with everything else on my body.

I'm a beginner and have lifted for three months. I've been doing Starting Strength more or less, just added some accessory exercises and started doing power cleans last week. My squat is 110 kg, bench press is 65 kg (it's lagging a bit behind because of shoulder issues), overhead press is 52,5 kg, and deadlift is 142,5 kg. I've still got linear progression, but I've changed my program around a bit to concentrate more on accessory exercises and general strength. I want to get strong, but I'm not a powerlifter and I'm probably going to change to a hypertrophy program when I'm done with linear progression.

My current program is divided into two parts which I alternate. Since squats and deadlifts are so far ahead, I've started alternating them. I'm doing deadhangs at the end to increase my grip strength which is starting to fail on heavy lifts. I do AMRAP (As many repetitions as possible) on most lifts, denoted with +.

A part:
Squats 3x5+
Overhead press 3x5+
Chins 3x5+
Dips 3x8+
T-bar rows 3x8+ (I can't do barbell rows properly because of my shoulder)
Power Clean 5x3
Back extensions 3x12+
Deadhangs 3x

Part B
Lunges 3x28 (I walk around on in the gym)
Bench press 3x5+
Deadlift 1x5+
Incline bench 3x8+
Pull ups 3x5+
Biceps curls 3x8+
Face pulls 3x12+
Deadhangs 3x

Do you notice anything missing? I'm probably going to do it for about three more months, before switching to 5/3/1, PPL, or PHUL, I haven't decided yet. When I stall, I deload 10-15 % and do 3x8+ until I reach the weight where I stalled, then do 3x5+ again. Works pretty nice.

Not always true. Shoulder dumbell press is weaker than OHP, bench dumbell press is weaker than bench press, dumbell row is weaker than barbell bent over row. When using both arm or legs, you also use much more than those 2. I think just didn't do 2 arm pulldowns properly or he didn't do 1 arm properly (cheated in form).

Too much. 140 per day is perfectly fine. I weigh 102kg and I barely get around 120g per day but I don't have problems building strength or muscle.

Why are there so many incel threads on this board?

Don't lift your shoulder to your ear. I don't see how you could even activate traps with lateral raises. Also try using free weights too, not just machines.

2 scoops in morning, 2 scoops after workout. If your protein blend doesn't have at least 3g of creatine per scoop, it's basically useless.

Because Jow Forums is a Japanese anime image site, mainly. And Jow Forums is their personal trainer.

It’s a program best done while bulking.

I don’t lift when I fast. Some people just go to the gym and fuck around for a half hour or an hour.

If you want to incorporate fasting to madcow, do intermittent fasting or omad or something that lets you get a reasonable number of calories.

Yes.
1. Work on your core at least 3x per week. Isolating your muscle is make it stronger.
2. Work on stretching. Hip and ankle mobility must be on point. I do Eric Bugenhagen's hip mobility routine and it's great because it helps your get into position easier.
3. Brace properly. Before lifting the weight, make sure your core feels like it's trying to stop a train form moving.
4. Record yourself from side and see if you look retarded doing it

It does. You can specifically aim them if you put pressure on the ball of your feet and not middle also doing up-down motions with your feet while cycling.

I've been on Jow Forums for a couple years now, I just didn't expect it on Jow Forums.

If I lift will my punches get stronger in muay thai? Pls explain how

No, they’re otaku. I thought you were talking about pol.

> if I get stronger will I get stronger?

Of course they will. What is there to explain stronger = stronger. The only thing to consider is if your muscles get too big they might actually slow you down but I seriously doubt you'll ever have to worry about that

WHERE THE FUCK DID MY OTHER WRIST STRAP GO. WHERE?
WHERE??

WHHHHHHERE?????????????????

HOOOOOOOOOOOOLYYYYYYY FUUUUUUUCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.

but it was an interesting read

You left it at the gym. It’s gone. Or maybe in the lost and found box if you’re lucky.

It’s technique, not strength.

You lose fat all over at the same time.
