Any anons in here tried a mating press with their lady? Do you feel like that takes more than leg strength? I have tried it and want to be a god but I'm wondering what I'd need past being able to hold that low position and cardio for thrusting.

Strong wrists and arms bud, honestly when I go with my girl my arms are the first to give in and I end up burying my head next to hers face down and scooping my arms under her ass, it’s a different story on a flat hard floor tho because you can stabilise your wrists in line with your arm bones.

Does curling 10 lbs dumbbells for 3 sets of 10 reps everyday make your biceps bigger?

there is none on amazon thats why i asked
maybe ebay?

True i actually have noticed that too. My arms are pretty strong luckily but I'm still trying to figure out how to hold myself up long enough in a good position to totally destroy her hips because she's into that.

I think I can feel what might be lymph nodes on my biceps near my pits? is this normal? like when I press/circle down with my thumb I feel little lumps.

Should I weight chicken after or before I cook it?
Also why does every online resource say chicken breast has 30g protein but my chicken breast labels say 20g?

It will have an effect, but if that's your primary goal you should increase it over time, aiming to reach 60min sessions

Cooked is more accurate because you get out extra water which is at different levels depending on the meat quality.

Recently I started doing my squats and deadlifts on the same day. Now, my DL is high enough that it butchers the rest of my lifts, getting to the point where I won't even squat after it cause I'm so worn out. Should I drop squats, do them before deadlifts, or drop the weight so that deadlifts don't fucking kill me

Extra mass brah

I'm doing a fullbody routine 3 times a week, linear progression strength oriented, and I've been loving it. However, I'm not burning as much fat as I'd like, and what's worst, I think I my fat rolls might been getting doughier lately, so one rest days I plan to add cardio.
What's the best bang for buck cardio? or is it whatever as long as I get some HIIT in it? I've got a road bike and a linear park I could go to run.

reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommended_routine

Is this routine decent enough to build some strength if I don't have much upper body or core strength at all? I'd be doing this 3 times a week and a cardio/leg routine 3 times also.

Also, should I be doing distance running training on the same day I do other leg training? I don't feel very fatigued by the end of the routine so would like to combine them, but not if it fucks up the gains.

I've pulled my back out at the bottom of a squat. How long am I going to be out for?

I personally run 5k on rest days. You can also try CICO.

My right shoulder makes popping noises, at what point do i need to get it checked out? Doesnt Hurt but i can feel a slight ache afterwarda

Thanks fren, I'd rather take a more active role than CICO. Running it is. Hope pollution doesn't fuck me up.

Doing cardio is still CICO you autist, it just increases your CO. Literally anything that results in weight loss is CICO. Our weight is the result of CICO every fucking day even if your fat ass doesn't count.

No need to reeeee fren, I meant, a more active role than just counting calories of the things I eat. Living is CICO, I know, but I meant I rather take an active role in burning calories than just consume less and get them cardio gainz.

What would happen if I exclusively do pushups as the only exercise?

I do 2 types of pushups every alternate days. Diamond and normal ones. I do in sets. So 10 now, wait 10 seconds, do another 10 and then so on until I'm really exhausted.

I haven't turned to any other exercise at all. Just pushups sinmce the past 2 months. I do look a little better in the my chest and shoulders and in the arm area. So I guess this is all okay?

Even you don't want to commit to working out for real, at least try to do something for your legs and lower back. Your body will thank you when you're older.

What body-weight exercise can I do for legs?
I pretty much don't have time to put aside for going to the gym because I work an even job as well as do college in day time.

is home workout a complete meme or is it possible to get moderately fit looking?

Squats and lunges. You won't get far without adding weight though, most people's legs (unless they've been very sedentary) should be fairly strong just from being alive. You could keep a few dumbbells, even just one is sufficient for goblet squats.

At least try to go to the gym and see how you like it? I just finished writing my master's thesis and worked 30 hours/week on top of being a full-time grad student. I still made sure to squeeze an hour at the gym in each day, and that hour ended up being the part of the day that I always looked forward to. Good release.

i am about to buy chinese food.
chicken fried rice or beef fried rice and why?

Not a meme if you pick up a bench and a small set of dumbbells, and find a decent routine to follow. You probably won't get "jacked" without the big compound lifts that use barbells, but you can certainly put on muscle.

If you're not feeling sick, it's a blocked pore. Use spray deodorant instead of rub on for a week and it'll disappear

Dumbbells, squat rack, and a barbell will get you far.

Do them before diddlys.

You can do standing rear delt cable flies instead.

I'm looking for a sport to do alongside lifting but I can't choose. All have pros and cons relating to time (starting my first ever full time job), money, risk (had a concussion recently), and how easy it is to combine with lifting. Any advice?
My options so far are:
>Lifting and BJJ
>Lifting and kickboxing
>Lifting and running
>Lifting and swimming
>Just lifting

no idea, but you should just worry about helping it heal. Stay active and keep walking around, laying in bed will only fuck up your back. Chances are it's a muscular thing like a strain or spasm. Slowly and gently work on getting your range of motion back. Do some romanian deadlifts with a broom stick or very lightly loaded bar, as low as you can go without pain. Don't worry about weight, just try to get those muscles to move and help them chill out. And most importantly, relax and remember you're gonna get better.

Under what circumstances is it popping?

I would get it checked out if can afford to, just in case. Try to get referred to a specialist who knows about sports injuries though. A general practitioner might not know how to help it heal better.

At what Bodyfat% should I stop bulking? I'm at 17% now because I was drinking too much beer for a couple weeks but don't feel like I have enough muscle to make a cut worthwhile

try out BJJ and kickboxing to see if you like them more (assuming you've ran or swam in your lifetime)
You can negotiate, you can do plenty of exercises that are similar to face pulls. Rear DB flys, Band pull-aparts, single arm shoulder external rotation (banded or cable), YWTL's, etc.
Squats, pistol squats, lunges, bulgarian split squats, hip airplanes, cossack squats, step ups, hip thrusts, single leg hip thrusts, single leg box squats, etc.

Any recommended books which look at technique for various lifts? Preferably torrentable and with more exercises than SS.

I'm a 5'8 190lbs fatty with nasty-ass purple stretch marks on my newly developed beer gut. Is there any way to fix this through exercise, or am I fucked?

Is greyskull lp a good program for looking good or is it just for strength training?

I ran a lot before starting lifting, but had some injuries (shin splints), but I still like it. I did some kickboxing and received a concussion due to an overzealous partner. I'm moving to a new city and will have to deal with a new gym and new people, which is why I'm hesitant. I want to try BJJ but I keep reconsidering. Not sure why though.

I think I fucked up my shoulder, getting sharp pains moving it around, what should I do?

As a former swimmer and amateur boxer, I'd say BJJ. Swimming is great but it does have different demands on your body so it's not the best match for serious lifting. And with a recent concussion I would stay away from any kind of striking for a while. BJJ will benefit from your strength and there are tons of resources online that will help you adapt your strength training so you can recover well.

Some people to watch:

Chad Wesley Smith
Mike Israetel
Phil Daru
and there's others but I can't think of them right now

just ate alot of watermelon... that can't be good, right?

That depends, did you eat any seeds?

yeah. they're watermelonsdude. they're full of em.
I had like 12 pieces sized like pic related.

If i'm going for ottermode, should i even be lifting? I feel like it's pointless to do heavy barbell work when i'm not getting nearly enough calories to move serious weight.

I haven't been to the gym for like 3 weeks because I went on a trip and now I have to wait for maybe 2 weeks to get a certificate by my doctor that says I'm healthy enough to go to the gym (they request that you renew these certificates yearly).

What can I do in the meantime? I've been doing push-ups, pull-ups, abs and cardio, all bodyweight stuff.

oof, no bueno. Now it's gonna grow a watermelon in your stomach

assuming you're on a diet, Watermelons are high on water and low on cals despite how sweet they taste, so they shouldn't undermine any fat loss efforts as long as you're not eating kilograms of them.

I have gyno and am thinking about getting surgery to get rid of it, so my questions are:
>are the scars bad? If it helps, i feel around for it and the gland doesn't seem any larger than a grape
>can you "hide" the scars by just bulking up the chest? I'm still a beginner so i feel like i can pack up a lot more muscle in that area

get Jow Forums and if your tits still hang then you consider surgery. you can never be sure wether its breat tissue or fat when you're a lardass,no point in rushing

You're gonna injure yourself. Reduce the weight until you can do it with good form. You only get one spine, don't let your ego wreck it.

Is keto a sustainable diet or just a fad diet/temporary diet for fat loss? What are the long term effects of not having carbs?

the worst part about it is that, same as anyextreme cutting diet, you're statistically extremely likely to rebound, gaining even more weight than you started with, and fucking your metabolism up so that losing it again becomes even harder

What do you guys do to help with self control?

I gym everyday but have a disgusting spare tire gut because I convince myself some junk food will make my day a little better

You look pretty good currently, not fat in any way. Infact bulk a little bit more if you're aiming for otter mode. You need to put on some more muscle before your final cut.

>Is 10 minutes of moderate intensity cardio everyday enough to develop better circulation and endurance?
I would say 30 minutes of moderate intensity, or 10 minutes of HIIT, to improve circulation (you're basically training your heart). If you're looking to improve your endurance you need to run at higher intensity over time, to force yourself to perform beyond your limits. Remember to give yourself time to rest, so your muscles can repair and grow.

>Is proper form really everything?
If you're not using proper form, you're not doing a rep. It's that simple.

See a doctor.

>Does curling 10 lbs dumbbells for 3 sets of 10 reps everyday make your biceps bigger?
That depends. Is 10 lbs heavy for you? If you can easily do 3 sets of 10 reps without struggling near the 10th rep every time, you're doing too few reps.
In short, if you can do 10 reps, do more until you can barely finish the last rep. Then rest for 60 seconds, then do it again.
That will build strength, but not increase your bicep much (since you need a lot more weight for fewer reps to get that).

>Recently I started doing my squats and deadlifts on the same day.
No worries, I do the same thing. Full body workout 3 times per week. It's no problem.

See a doctor.

>My right shoulder makes popping noises
Castor oil, hydrate often, keep warm and stay active. It will pass.

It's a requirement dictated by the laws of the city of Buenos Aires.

It's pretty normal, they do it in my local gym too.
I think it's so the dyel customers won't be able to sue if they have a heart attack while on the machines.

Thanks familia. Any tips on routines or programming for combining lifting and BJJ?

no but 30 minutes is

>At what Bodyfat% should I stop bulking?
14-15% unless you're competing.

>Any recommended books which look at technique for various lifts?
In the current year there's this thing called the internet. Videos are readily available. Check out AthleanX.

>I ran a lot before starting lifting,
Run AFTER lifting instead, or most of your blood will be in your legs resulting in weaker lifts.

>If i'm going for ottermode, should i even be lifting?
Do calisthenics.

>Is keto a sustainable diet
Diets are a meme, because they're temporary in nature. You need to consider a way of living that you can sustain for the rest of your life. Keto will get you to drop water weight and some fat, but it's not ideal in the long run. Your lifts will also suffer because you lack energy to to them.

>Feeling tightness in these areas at the BOTTOM of a squat. How can I fix it?
Squat more. Seriously though, do pic related.

Used pic related for the first time. Lifted myself up with them to get into the position you would before doing a dip. Arms started shaking like crazy and found it too hard to stabalise so I didn't do any dips with them. How do I gitgud?

Anybody?

recently I started a part time job and now everytime I get home I devour everything that crosses my path. I do 18:6 IF, and before this job I could easily extend it but now I'm hungry and I need more food than usual. Does this mean my metabolism increased? Should I eat what my body asks me for or keep eating like I was before?

Greyskull is an OK program for strength gains for beginner/intermediate lifters.

See a doctor.

All u need really is a squat rack and weights ofc.

If you mean bodyweight stuff, then ih maybe. You can progress up to plyometrics, pistol squats, explosive push ups, and will look OK to normies. Chin ups too.

Are 4 scoops a day too much? I easily chug a 2 scoop shake and I wonder if I can do that twice a day (for a total of 4 scoops) without dying. I am 6ft tall, and weigh around 185lbs

Bro, you're 5'9".

If you feel like you need more than 2 scoops in a day, then your diet is probably lacking

>Run AFTER lifting instead, or most of your blood will be in your legs resulting in weaker lifts.
I meant that I ran a lot (competitions and such) before I discovered the gym and got Jow Forums

Oh, right, sorry bro, that part was lost on me.

I have a busy schedule and can't fit time in for the gym.

Can calisthenics help me preserve my gains for a few months until I can get back to weightlifting?

Attached: 1542419691384.jpg (790x767, 157K)

My diet is inconsistent. I live in a dorm and our grocery store always run out of stuff. I can't hoard stuff because we share a fridge and you can't bring your own. Now that I outlined my reasoning can you please give me an actual answer?

But will it make me look good? I'm a fatty that's losing weight as well, 45 lbs down and another 40 to go

>Can calisthenics help me preserve my gains for a few months until I can get back to weightlifting?
You will lose some gains, but once you get back to weightlifting your size will return quickly. Calisthenics is better than nothing, and in a couple of months you're not likely to lose THAT much.

Brown rice, beans, chicken breasts and seasoning. Combine that with vegetables (frozen or otherwise) and you have what I ate for years while going to college.

Looking good is very individual, my dude. You will need to shape and forge your body into becoming what you want. For instance, if you have a less defined back, then you need to focus on that. If you're looking to lose a lot of weight, cardio is your friend (combined with a healthy diet at a caloric deficit).

I browse the CBTs every once in awhile and something I see is, when people my weight/height post their lifts, they're absolute shit compared to mine, yet their physiques are way better by comparison. What the fuck is the problem with me? Should I cut, even though we have the same stats?

I seriously doubt you can’t get at least one of the following at any given time:
>eggs
>oatmeal
>chicken breast
>canned chicken/tuna
>ground beef or turkey
>ham, pork, bacon
>milk
>peanuts/peanut butter
Four scoops is absolutely overdoing it unless you’re on steroids.

>when people my weight/height post their lifts, they're absolute shit compared to mine
Genetics are a bitch, brother. Also lifting heavy doesn't translate into becoming big, as apparent by looking at most powerlifters. If you want to focus on looking better, then cut like a mofo (13-15% bf) and clean bulk from that point on. That will leave you with defined muscles.

I don't understand why people still argue about form. It took me literally one month of going to the gym to realize why proper form is important.
Forget about injury prevention. The only motivation you should need to perfect your form is targeting correct muscle groups. Take your bent over row, for example. The point of the exercise is to target your back. If you're cleaning the bar up to your abs, you're using legs and torso instead of back - it's counterproductive and you're wasting time. Yes you will be able to row more, but you're not activating your back, so like why the fuck are you even rowing in the first place?

This guy gets it.

Can somebody who isn't fucking trolling explain the hypertrophy vs strength meme? Aren't strength and size literally directly related? How can you be strong but small? How can you be big but weak? As long as I'm getting stronger, I'm getting bigger, right?
