Does lifting directly boost test during the lift?

Is it normal to be unable to urinate/have difficulty urinating while experiencing constipation? It happens to me.

How many grams of this shit can I eat per day?

What's a good PPL routine?

please respond

I usually have 2 scoops a day sometimes 3.

yes

I did full body today and I want to smoke a bowl but not fuck with my recovery, bad idea or no?

Look into lvysaurs routine on Reddit (Google that) if you are looking for something longer and requiring more effort.

I posted this on the last thread 5 mind before it was deleted. Here we go again:
How accurate are those scales that also have bf percentage checkers in them? I bought one and it says I lost 1.7%bf but my weight hasn't gone down(it just fluctuates 2-3lbs). I have been doing HIIT for 30-45 mins 5x a week. Did I buy a meme scale?

>size 46 (EU) feet
>try some exercises to fix flat feet
>feet shrink to size 42
>try different exercises to fix it for good
>feet are fixed
>new size 42 shoes are too large now
Is this normal?

Is it a problem if you have too much BCAAs?

My protein powder has BCAA in it, but I want to get two scoops instead of one. Is this safe?

Won’t hurt your recovery, just make sure you get good sleep and don’t overdo it when/if you get the munchies. Weed can unironically be a helpful bulking tool

theyre all worthless.
if it goes down it means your bf probably went down but the numbers are based on a fuckton of assumptions

Forgot to add. The first measurement circled is 5/27 and the second one is today.

How is a scale supposed to know your bodyfat? I think you go memed.

how do you decide on goal weights when cutting/bulking, how to know when to cut or bulk

I eat every 12 hours or so, sometimes 18-19 or 24 hours, meals range from 300 - 700, maybe 800cal, just by sitting around I usually burn off most of the calories from each meal before eating the next one, am I at a weight standstill or will I keep losing weight? I also don't snack throughout the day,

-eating disorder fag

hi what are these exercises? I absolutely need them

nah dude it doesn't

Is it okay if I take all my supplements at once? Multivitamin, D, fish oil, L-arganine, zinc, S. o. Y lecithin

pick up a plate then pick that up, you'll be able to tell if it weighs ten pounds less

>Be lifelong fatass
>Recently started lifting and dieting
Fuckton of veins keep popping up across my arms and shit. It's really awesome to see them for the first time, and the farther I go, the more little veins I notice and didn't even know existed. Is it normal to jack off to the thought of them?

>Is it normal to jack off too _______
whatever floats your boat my dude

I first started running on my forefoot only, did something but not the entire job.
A friend suggested me to change my style of walking to walk more on the outside edge of my feet.
My calves started to hut like crazy for a week, but it got better and now my feet are pretty much normal.

Is there a good bicep lift I can do that won't put too much pressure on my elbow ligaments? A good compound lift preferably

is a 5x5 routine genuinely a good way to go for beginners? I feel like I should give more time to let muscle groups rest before working them again

Is 1/2/3/4 for a set of 1 or 5?

5x5, with the first two sets being 60% and then 80% of the weight for a warmup

I never used protein powders before, but today I bought Muscle Milk on a whim. Of course i was dumb and never read that it has sucralose until I got home. I'm gonna return it tomorrow, but is there a good protein powder that doesn't have any artificial sweeteners?

Does anyone have a good full-body morning stretch routine? I've got like zero flexibility, but all I can find is mom science bullshit.

i own a barbell like that, and its 10 KG (22 lbs )

I can't find how much the bar on the smith machine weighs. Where should I be looking? I swear it's lighter than the free bar

What kind of brotein powder should I buy?

If it’s not the former, then I’m gonna kms

You sure? There's an inscription on the side that says "1000lbs" which I'm assuming is the max weight. Could such a light barbell really hold that much?

When programs say to increase lifts by 2.5 lbs per week or lift, what the fuck do you do outside of America? We don't have 0.5kg plates..

Buy your own (you can get them online or maybe at fitness stores). They're obviously not heavy so you can just bring them to the gym with you.

The leddit beginner PPL seems fine, no meme exercises.

How do I stretch biceps

I see. Cheers

link?

yep,my 10 kg barbell holds 250 kg and doesnt even bend its a stiff bar

i also own a 20 kg one but its thicker and longer (olympic one)

the fact it cant hold over 250 kg its because there is no more space for 20 KG PLATES mines is 1.50 cm long 1 meter 50 cm and so is that one i guess

Rows, pull-ups, and chins.

It's for 5 easy sets of 20, after work, and on 4 hours of sleep.

Unflavored versions, generally.

Starting Stretching. Seriously.

It doesn't matter. Pretend it's 45 lbs if it helps you with plate math. Just increase weight over time. Why are you using a Smith machine anyhow?

anyone got that video of that hightest braphog getting into a car?

Nobody does sets of 5 deadlifts past novice phase so it's whatever you want it to be.

>why are you using a smith machine
It's what I started with, and the times I usually go to the gym mean that squat racks and benches are usually at maximum capacity but I still want to at least do something. I've only been lifting for maybe a month and a half.

Drop the smith machine as soon as possible, for your own good.

Trying my hardest. I'm only up to 10x3 at ~32.5kg+bar on both bench and squat and my OHP is like 15+bar. Never deadlifted in my life, can't recall barbell row.

how to achieve this mode?

What's a respectable dumbbell curl weight for an intermediate lifter?

maybe you gained muscle

it sends a little amount of electricity through your body and thats supposed to give bodyfat

>A friend suggested me to change my style of walking to walk more on the outside edge of my feet.
i tried that but it made the middle of my foots' sole hurt

nobody really knows

Is butter a carb?

5x5 is a 3 day program so you should have plenty of time to recover

Theres usually a sticker with it written in smaller text. Im guessing that most of them are the same and the ones at my gym are 20 lbs for starting resistance

Depends how long for and how much you can spend. Beef jerky is expensive but pretty high in protein. Nuts like almonds and cashews, some whey in a sealed bag to mix with water, maybe even that pork crackle shit you can get. All I can think of off the top of my head.

Constipation implies you're probably dehydrated so yeah that's expected. Don't be so constipated, drink water buddeh.

If you value your gains, having feeling in your legs, and being able to walk and piss on your own then whatever you do, drop the fucking Smith machine. Do dumbbell rows and squats instead if you have to.

beginner here, can i just do the same lifts 5 days a week, and should i start/do 5 sets or 3 sets.

Attached: anon.png (617x183, 31K)

how do I get fuck huge calves quick? should I do them every day? increase volume?

Try one legged jump roping.

Read the sticky. 5 days is too much for a beginner, especially if they're heavy compounds like they should be. Do some 3 day strength program like SS, SL, greyskull or something, then move onto 4-6 day programs when you can't progress any more.

It's pretty much pure fat

Squating today and i felt a pain /twinge here. Still hurts about half an hour later.
Everything i read about IT injuries is that it hurts closer to the knee.

Is this potentially an IT injury or just a sprain strain of a weak muscle?
Either way what the hell do i do to avoid in the future/rehab?

Tldr; potential IT Injury because i haven't slept well this week and still deciddd to go 6days/7

isn't this more cardio?

How long should my rest breaks between sets be on the 5x5 program?

I got recommended this transformation video on yt today. youtu.be/e4xwZuIAZJM

The bloke is 50something. Reckon it's legit or he got a helping hand from TRT?

You are essentially jumping your body weight multiple times on one leg. It should do wonders for your calves. Did so for mine.

but are they better than weighted calf raises?

Interesting situation. I recently came into a situation where I have all the time in the world to workout. But the sheer amount of information, routines, diet plans, equipment is too much. If you had the opportunity to workout for as long as you needed to for 8 months, what would you do to get as fit as possible?

If it matters: 70'', 200 lbs.

Fuck you, I've read the sticky more times than I care to say.

About the same I'd say (Unless you are doing one legged weighted calf raises).

lift a 45lb plate and see if its heavier

1.5 minutes if it was easy up to 3 minutes if it was hard and 5 minutes if you failed
get the stronglifts app, it's very helpful

If all I had was a Smith Machine, I would just not do Squats (Or any exercise that require it)

Not only does it create muscle imbalances due to the lack of stabilizers being worked, it is very dangerous if something goes wrong.

Generally a Barbell will fall away from you,but a SM always falls straight down.

ah fuck how didn't I think of this

but is it OK to do them every day? will they grow faster or am I hindering development by overworking them?

If the weight on the bar is going up and I am getting stronger, am I always gaining muscle mass? (Even if I'm in a calorie deficit)

If a gym advertises itself as a "hardcore bodybuilding gym" and I'm a 130 lb skellington, does that mean I should look somewhere else to train?

I would go in to have a look. Most of the time when they say that it's just boomer who are past their prime who take themselves too seriously. If you don't want to take my advice go to curves or something

I hurt my shoulder doing heavy dips lately and I think I should replace them with something else for the time being.
What can I do instead? The point is to hit similar muscles as dips. No BB bench press.
Maybe DB press?

Huh?

Nope.
A lot of strength building is neurological, as in training your nerves to be more efficient at recruiting muscle fibres when moving heavy weights.
Strength training is very helpful at this, but hypertrophy training is better for gaining muscle mass.
