How do i know if i have a hernia? I was doing deads and now i feel a slight something around my left testicle.

Curling while standing works your short head better and curling at a 45 degree incline seated works your long head better. I like to hit the long head with dumbbells and the short head with the barbell curl.

completely new to Jow Forums and working out in general, im kinda a lazy ass, looking to change that. read the sticky but have some questions. i know general consensus for skinnyfat is cut first bulk later, but im really not sure for myself here. my end goal isnt ottermode, id like to genuinely become bigger. what do you guys suggest for me, cut or bulk first? also that starting strength guide by rippetoe, is that meant for bulking or cutting? are workout routines different between the two or does it not matter; does only the calorie intake matter when it comes to bulking/cutting? cheers
btw i am 18, 130 lbs, 5'5 ;(

I started Reg Parks 5x5 last week. Next week I will start school, and i am thinking of enrolling to a swimming clinic. It fits perfectly on tuesdays and thursdays to add some cardio. Is it ok? Or should I rest completely on those days if I'm doing the 5x5?

I'm 23 and I have 1.5 years to go for my Accounting B.S. I've never worked in accounting and quite frankly doing the same shit every day drives me up a fucking wall.

I could switch to Finance. I really enjoy the idea of helping people invest their funds correctly. I believe most people are financially illiterate.

How do people decide on careers? I'm trying to make $40k a year before tax so I can live alone and be left alone. I don't have any dreams or ambitions besides affording living alone and fucking off.

I live in Florida on the east coast.

why are my hands shaking?

Sup senpai.
Does expiration date really matter for creatine? It expired two months ago.

thrown that shit away

Need more info. Have you taken any preworkout/caffeine? Have you had anything to eat today? Have you been working out?

But I still have half the bottle left, is it just straight up useless?

>Have you taken any preworkout/caffeine?
no but i usually eat a meal before working out
>Have you had anything to eat today?
i'm eating over maintenance
>Have you been working out?
about 9 hours ago

is kraft dinner a carb?

How's your water intake today?

Exercise her glutes and hamstrings so the muscles don't atrophy during weight loss. Good diet with adequate protein intake during weight loss.

Sit in the chair for OHP or stand against a wall for strict form, regardless of the variation.

Go to a doctor and they will let you know. Also you would not feel a hernia around your testicles, it would be felt at the top of your groin if it is inguinal.

I think you just need to eat and lift for starters. When you train hard your body will require more, then increase your dietary requirements as necessary. Also ottermode would not do SS. Start with calisthenics and then add some compound movements to your routine and you should be fine.

You should be doing cardio. All weight lifting programs assume you are doing cardio at least 3x a week for 30 minutes. Sign up for swimming.

Anyone got the fit edit?

Is fruit necessary or can you get all the same nutrients from vegetables? Not trying to avoid carbs, fruit is just expensive where I live.

Yes, if you don't have a lot of money then buy a bag of apples for cheap and eat one a day. Whereabouts are you living?

Make sure you're buying in season fruit too, fruit skyrockets in price regardless of where you live when seasons change. This is a pretty good guide, you can ignore the whole "clean"/"dirty" organic BS on there, it doesn't really matter in the end.

Stupid question.
But is protein powder the most efficient protein per calorie?

I heard there's a supplement you can take that helps makes your butt bigger. Traps like it a lot

Ailee lost a shit ton of weight in like 2 months by living on a 500 calorie a day diet
I honestly liked her when she was thicker

How come transexual pornography is allowed on this board?

If you're lazy, don't worry about cutting or bulking yet.
I used to be like you where I was a lazy piece of shit, then I tried cutting while I started working out.
Both of them sucked and doing both at the same time made me quit.
Just focus on working out for about 6 months. Keep your workout schedule and focus on consistency.
Once you've got working out ingrained on your lifestyle, then start worrying about bulking and cutting.

What kind of shaking is it?
Is it really small and rapid like it's vibrating or is it bigger like you're trying to button mash on a controller

I want to get a 3 plate squat and 4 plate deadlift, but I don't want to look like I lift. What's the best routine for this? I don't want to train upper body at all. Starting Strength and stronglifts don't have enough deadlifting. I want to go even more T-Rex mode than that.

What makes you more angry
That you got turned on by a trap or that the trap has a bigger cock than you

if it looks normal, and wasnt left in shitty conditions like direct sunlight or moist or somthing.

It should be fine, just test it out or somthing.

I'm unsure, this is a blue board so no pornography is allowed however if it was something like child pornography it would get pruned in one minute
maybe mods are just fags of gargantuan proportions

pasta is carb yes,
read fucking label

small and rapid

>Protein per calorie
>kek
if you bought a protein powder that was 100% protein that was be pretty good, who really gives a shit about "Efficiency" Shrimp is also pure protein so if you like shrimp have that.
just make sure you get proper amount of protein

Is 30 days sufficient for a 10kg cut?

Doing light Keto and eating on deficit

if you dont want big muscles, High intensity low rep,
or a lower moderate weight explosively
avoid crazy volume and dont eat at to big of a surplus I guess
also you do realize you could modify SS or SL and add more dead-lifts right

Actual food will ALWAYS be better than powder because you'll get more out of a lean chicken breast than you will two scoops.

No way, man. Unless you're somehow eating 2000 calories under you'll never make that in 30 days. Be safe about cuts, good lord.

>Is 30 days sufficient for a 10kg cut?
are you bulimic

Is it really that bad? I’m 80kg trying to get down to 70 for that low bf% look

Speaking of which.
How do you calculate how much protein you need?
Heard the proper way includes your body fat%

hit 1pl8 overhead press this week, am i kewl now?

2 pl8 bench is a fair bit away, deadlift is close, squat is never going to happen.,

skinnyfat reporting in
if i eat at a small calorie deficit but eat a shit ton of protein (like ~1g per pound) can i gain muscle and get rid of the last extra fat i have on my midsection

I popped something in my lower back during a deadlifting warmup set about a month ago. Shit was fucking excruciating. Was literally bed ridden for about 3 days then slowly got movement back through active isolated stretching. Now i've started light upper body the last week and it's going okay until i stiffen up by the end of my workout. How long should i wait until i start training legs/back? Really quite scared of hurting my back again because the waves of cramps i was getting at night were fucking unbelievable.

Rate my macros. Trying to slow bulk until mid march then cut until summer
>6'1" 185lb ~16%BF
>3400cal (+400)
>Protein: 1.0g/lb
>Fat: 0.55g/lb
>carbs for remainder

Ive never tracked macros before. Is this a good approach? And when I cut how should I adjust? Also wondering if I should adjust fat/carb ratio on rest days

Agree with what these other user's have said. You should also be aware that you have anterior pelvic tilt, so train abs a lot, as this muscle group is most likely weak, and your hip flexors are what have to compensate for it. Also, be aware of your posture, as it is damn near impossible to do proper movements with heavy weights starting from bad posture. Eventually you're going to have to fix this.

Yeah, this should work, it's a very standard way of cutting, you probably won't gain a lot of muscle mass, though. But if you're in it for the long haul, you can also just start by bulking so you get more muscle mass. More muscle mass will mean you'll burn energy faster, which means you can cut while eating more later.

I fucking hate hanging leg raises. doing 3-5x10 twice a week rn. if I get an ab roller and go to failure at the end of every workout would that be enough to replace the leg raises? I love working out my core but those exercises are the fucking devil. I'm using a home gym so all I really have are dumbbells, barbells, and a power rack.

You can 1pl8 OHP but can't 2pl8 Dead or Squat??

Been doing SS for a while, when should I start hypertrophy? I was thinking going SS+lean bulk until April, then some aesthetics routine maybe combined with a lot of fasting

What lifts do you need to be stronger than the average American? What about European?

>cut first bulk later
Nah, that's only if you're a total fatass. You absolutely need to bulk first.

just lift and eat healthy and you'll get a better body. You are a total beginner with a bodyfat % that is well within reasonable.

I don't know but if you've been going to the gym seriously for half a year, you most likely already are

just found out i have an ulcer, mates
not sure how serious it is yet, but i've just started my bulk cycle.
how badly will this affect my weight/calorie/protein gain?

Attached: 1514493157679.gif (179x320, 2.23M)

What do you think about nSun's 4 day 5/3/1? I'm currently on first cycle of begginer's 531 and feels like I'm not getting stronger. But if I go 4 days I'd need to care even more about sleep and diet to recover. Is it retarded to exchange these routines monthly depending on how busy I am this month or should I run few cycles of current program and then decide if I need additional day?

I've been going to the gym for a couple of months now, should I change from Stronglifts to a PPL routine if I'm prepared to go 6x a week? I'm not really making progress as fast as I'd like atm

Can you maintain muscle if you don't train at all, but you eat enough protein and fats?

>Wake up naturally at 8am
>Full of pep and energy ready to achieve my workout goals
>Eat breakfast and sit at computer for an hour
>Instantly feel like a sleepy boy with no energy

wtf shouldnt I have lots of energy

What do you mean by progress

I'm a corporate accountant and started at 78k a year out of college. WTF? Why would you even get a degree to accept a 40k/year offer? I was making 40k/year fucking around in blue collar jobs before going to school.

It was too much volume for me. Nsuns is modeled after sheiko, which is a program with volume not meant for natties. I was eating 4000kcal a day minimum and still could not recover in time. I ended up just doing 531 variants and love it.

More frequency =/= more progress.

Do SS until you milk it for everything it has. You do a beginner LP until you literally stop making gains after multiple deloads. I wish I still got noobie gains like I did while doing SL. 5-10lbs a session or even week is INSANE progress.

Not making progress on lifts or size? Because programs like SL and SS arent meant to give you massive size. Its to give you a baseline of strength. The theory is that in the long run its more efficient to take advantage of the crazy noob gains before moving into an intermediate program. Because intermediate programming won't max out the noob strength gains nearly as fast as a beginner program. You'll get much more out of your hypertrophy workouts if youre already trained to move way bigger weights. The typical advice is to stick with your beginner program until your lifts start to plateau. But I don't think theres anything wrong with adding accessory work if you want though. Just don't go nuts with it and take away from the main lifts

yes, have been focusing alot on shoulders though which kind of makes sense.

Bench press is 1 and 1/2 plate for reps, tried 2 and couldnt do it but not sure what my max is.

Squad i havent really loaded up at all, maby 2 plate at most, still working on form.

Overhead press i can do about 3 reps with 1 plate

Assuming my diet is completely on point, is it a feasible goal to reach 1/2/3/4 by October? Pic related are my working set lifts, done 3x5. I've been lifting for about two months.

Fuck, here's the pic related

Slightly Jow Forums related and I trust you guys more than Jow Forums. Was fooling around with a girl for the first time today and my dick literally wouldn't go down because she's so fucking hot. I was wearing tight jeans so it wasn't that bad but the fucking lad wouldn't go down even when walking to/from the car, and I had to wait a good minute for it to go down to take a fucking piss. Is this normal or what? If we're spooning in bed is it appropriate for her to feel it against her?

Any of you lads ever tried one of them meme 100-reps-a-day routines? 100 push ups/100 pull ups or whatever. Do they actually produce results? It seems retarded to me not to have rest days or progression but w/e.

How many trees do I need to hug to look like this?

It's what I started off with. It's not really good for much besides getting a beginner comfortable with a more active lifestyle. As for how that kind of routine translates to barbell lifts, it's nothing special. A bit more than the average beginner but not by much. In my case I ended up with a disproportionately high bench.

Go to a doctor man

i have a stupid question because despite having a love for other sciences, i cannot get biology even when i try to research it.

estrogen causes bigger boobs in girls
estrogen increases when a girl masturbates
therefore masturbation will cause a girl to get bigger boobs?

You 100% NEED to go to a fucking doctor. Idiot

Haha well for somebody inexperienced yes that’s pretty normal. Just tuck it to the side and hope nobody sees it. They probably won’t. As far as I’m laying down spooning of course it’s fucking ok. Girls love that shit it makes them feel hot. You need to fuck this girl repeatedly until your dick is too tired to keep going

sit less

>Masturbation
>Sex
It's just a temporary high. Reason why girls and also men have perky tits during those acts.

Does alcohol (specifically beer) actually have as many calories as they say?

I drink beer daily and on the weekends I must drink like over 4000 calories in a night but I always keep my six pack and lifts high and alcohol seems to have no effect on my physical strength/make up. What's up with that?

>tfw Jow Forums but have cavity prone teeth
>have a healthy dental hygiene life

Is this gene related? or is there a way to fix it?

Been going to the Gym for 6 months. 3 Days a week. Full Body every day. Eating very clean at a slight surplus. Making great gains and feeling better than ever.

Should I progress to GS routine? Something else?

alcohol dehydrates you, so you still got that dry look

do you have asthma? some medications rot your teeth and make your bones weaker.

whats the best protein bar in the market today?

As a dyel, are Bulgarian single leg squats better for developing ham strings and a stable pelvis than regular dead lifts? I dont think I am getting good form on deadlifts and I am feeling soreness in my back because of it.

Citrulline Malate improves performance, it was something in the range of 6-8g daily saw candidates make an extra rep compared to control candidates when matched for strength and diet.

Glutamine is a good recovery supp - but you can get a lot of it from meats/protein sources.. but again, similar research found that supplementing 15g Glutamine a day improved recovery/gains

I used to have asthma but holy shit I didn't know about this.

How do I get electrolytes while doing keto?

Salt.
