Just bought a Renpho scale. How accurate is the body fat percentage?

Add weight until it's difficult but still completable. Do this every session.

Are you retarded?

what if I only have 2kg weights available

Increase reps to a silly amount or get more weights/go to a better gym.

thanks for the help,
what amount do you recommend?
or what's the ideal way to find that amount

Uhh I'm doing 3 sets per exercise of 12 or failurr and 3 exercises per muscle group

Am I doing it right?

Made a thread earlier, but I want to get more input on this as most of the replies in my thread were coomposters.

Is my incredibly basic routine I do at the park ok?
For everything with a weighted vest, I currently have it set at 12 pounds

-Push ups (to failure, with vest)
-Dips (to failure, with vest)
-Squats (to failure, with vest. Also holding a 15lb kettlebell while I do it)
-Lunges (to failure, with vest)
-Pull ups (to failure, no vest. Can do 3, but barely, 1 at a time. Working on these a lot right now.)
-Farmer walks around the track at the park for as far as I can go (currently 50lbs each hand while wearing vest).
-Body curls (to failure, no vest, they're sort of like dragon flags I guess. Curling body on an incline bench.)
-Bicycle crunches (to failure, no vest).

I was doing chin ups for a while before switching to pull ups, just so I could end up able to do them. Once I can do a decent number of pull ups, probably with weight also, I'll switch back to chin ups and continue alternating. On off days, I started doing jump rope for as long as I can take it. Been getting better at that.

Will SL turn me into a trex? 3 of the 5 lifts are upper body but you squat every workout. What can I do to prevent this?

Say, in an alternate universe, I was a minor. (Totally not bro I swear.)
Legal points aside, how would one buy bronkaid and Caffiene for optimal gains in this alt universe?

Use a tape measure and calculate it manually. Bit time consuming, but its accurate

Depends. If you're doing all isolation, fine, but if you're not pinning then it's inefficent.

Doing accesory work 2 times per week. But theoricaly you shouldn't need it since it's a strength program.

Maybe. For me, i only noticed a difference with BSN Amino X.

Test your body.

Just doing it until I can lift actually heavy weights correctly (maybe a year or so) then going for aesthetics. Should I switch to a different routine sooner than that?

If you wanna do anything it's hard. Learning is hard. Most things in life are. But once you're good at it, learning becomes addictive and fun.

literally just try it. If you can't lift it, knock 10 lbs off. Fine tune it until 1RM is achieved.

no electric BF% measurement will ever be accurate

Squats that light will get you nowhere, otherwise it's a alright program if you don't have access to weights.

Well, first off, EC Stacks are only really used for weight control, and even then the effect is greatly exaggerated on the internet. Second, the side effects for this shit is not lite. Anxiety, irritability, heart palpitations, nausea, all fairly common sides even at the suggested EC does. Third, incredibly unhealthy if you live in a warm area. This shit will heat up your body and make it difficult to sleep.

don't do an EC stack. If you're that desperate to lose weight and don't want to actually do it just get some anavar and clen.

I definitely will keep increasing the squats. There's a 120lbs vest I want to buy eventually and I have heavier shit I can hold while doing them as well. I started out a million times weaker than even this though.

Why not go to the gym? Surely a monthly subscription is cheaper and you won't have to keep buying dumb-looking vests

Are hanging crunches good to correct lordosis

Idk why, I'm just autistic and really prefer doing this kind of training. Could never stick with lifting weights, but gradually increasing weighted calisthenics is really enjoyable to me

>120lbs vest

lmao, you are fucking retarded.

What's the problem with working my way up to that? Shit, if there's any heavier vest, that would be a goal I'd work towards.

So I don't really like doing squats and find myself zoning out during them. What is some cool shit I can visualize while doing them? Like when I bench imagine lifting a car off of me or something

thats really dumb user.

Whether it's dumb or not, I've still been getting stronger. If I get to the point of using ridiculously high weighted vests and doing crazy variations, eventually and it works.. Then it works. I have nothing against lifting weights, I've just tried it a few times already and I didn't like it.

What does Jow Forums want in a wife? Like, besides aesthetics, what are people on Jow Forums looking for in a life partner?

Define "pinning"?

you will never have a vest that is heavy enough to compare to a plain barbell. 120lbs is less than beginners do in squats.

Steroids aka roids aka gear aka juice

At what speed do I gain weight while developing muscles, is it just math?
I've been lifting for a month and barely gained 1kg

Guys please, does someone know a weekly plan completely keto? A source or something I could use and follow. I've got some spots on my skin, a friend told me sheggot rid of them eating completely keto, and I can't seem to find good resources on starting with keto diets.

Ok, so im fucked ...
I haven't slept for 5 days now [ which is my longest time without sleep] and my skin has become pretty dry (I assume from the lack of sleep),
and im almost 100% sure i just developed contact-dermatitis because of it .. is this an actual possibility or is it just a coincidence ?

t. literally cant go to a GP because it's fathers day, also im not staying up by conscious choice (narcolepsy)

I'd love to have a wife that likes kids and enjoys cooking food for family. The type of lady who could whip up something crazy good from scratch without a recipe.

Yeah. Do SL 4 months or so.

That's pretty normal weight gain if you're just starting and didn't get fatter. It will slow down after some months though.

Stop eating carbs and sugars. idk if it will do anything for skin spots though.

are 12 hour eating periods with 12 or 12+ hour fasts okay? been eating like this for a while now and rarely even hit my TDEE, not trying to gain or lose, want to maintain. and before you ask, yes I'm a Jow Forums-let retard with probably anorexia.

How the fuck do I find and talk to girls

Is doing ECA stack for 6 weeks then weaning off dangerous in any way? Does it matter if I only take it on workout days?

Do you guys bother counting the protein you consume from whole grains or carb sources in general?

If meat and dairy protein bioavailability is much higher and has all 8 complete amino acids, why bother counting vegetable and grain protein when it's supposedly inferior in both categories?

have any of you guys ever experienced a "slipping" or rubbing sensation in your scapula? Mine's on the right side, I feel it when I do facepulls, lateral raises, OHP, etc. Some workouts I don't even feel it at all, other days I can't do any shoulder work except for rows without it happening. It doesn't even really hurt, it reminds me of the feeling you get when you take two magnets and push the two negative sides towards each other.

I did a lot of martial arts when I was younger, Hapkido was one of them, so we ended up doing lots of shoulder locks and such and I can't help but wonder if I fucked something up and it didn't heal right years ago

Is there a limit to the calories I can consume and absorb in a day? If I ate 50000 calories in a day would I wake up 10kg heavier?

Try asking this guy.

My living situation means I can only get around 6 and a half hours of sleep, 7 if I'm very lucky, with potential interruptions. How bad will this fuck me over in terms of gains?

What's the aesthetic limit for basic bitch bodyweight shit?

I'm on a shit-ass contract for the next year in the middle of nowhere with no gym access there's no mail to get weights shipped to

girls are everywhere. But if your looking to be attractive to women then demonstrate that you can and could be willing to protect and provide for them. This means being seen as safe (to them, both physically and emotionally) and like your pursuing success.

Good ways of doing this are: being good with people (points awarded to being good with kids), courageous and powerful. its important to note that women arnt interested in a pushover. They want someone who is gentle, which means having power but not using it to get your own way.

Do this, and be seen doing this, and women will come to you. All you have to do after that is pick the one you'd like to stick with and keep making it worth her time to stick around.

Any suggestions for after that?

its pretty great if your looking to be cut as fuck. but prepared to do a lot of reps. You'll never look swol, but with time you'll have an incredible amount of functional strength.

I have the time, I just need a way to do pullups

Can anyone recommend a good HIIT running schedule? I was thinking I could do 2-3min of sprinting all out, then 1-2min of rest jogging for a total of about 15 minutes. Does that work? What are the expected benefits over doing a moderate intensity jog for 30 minutes instead?

Man that's so weird the differences are only like .5%. I either measured wrong or I just have a very unfortunate fat distribution.

How much muscle loss and endurance should I have lost after two months of not running? At the start of this year I was running daily, then around may I dropped out for a while and became lazy due to the intense heat in my area, then this last week I started running again and was surprised at how well my legs and endurance were holding up after taking it easy for so long. Is it normal to be able to bounce back like that?

The same routine as you would do on a bulk or maintenance

Recommend me a new pre workout to try. I’ve only tried pic related and am finally done with it. Feels like it only worked half the time and I usually took it once a week.

The other day I was doing something like pic related but more extreme. I went farther up my back than ever before but afterwards my bicep would be in pain if it wasn't in a fully relaxed state. When I flexed and contracted my arm it spasmed out of control for about 30 seconds and I was just left with a dull pain that went away after a day. Yesterday was my first arm day since then and the mild pain. I'm wondering what actually happened to my arm.

It was a cramp dumbfuck.

Correct me if I'm wrong, because I've read tons and tons of contradicting information, but my present routine has a bunch of exercises with 10-12 reps. Are those fine for cutting?

can you build muscle if you train during the day but end up with a 0 calorie deficit, as in, no surplus?

You're right I'm fucking retarded. That shit never happens to me and I thought I ripped the muscle apart or some dumb shit.

Anyone?

I was reading about fasting and I realize due to my daily schedule I'm actually pretty close of it already. I would have my lunch as usual at 10:30am, dinner at 6:30pm max, and fast during the rest of the time. It's a bit tight gap, but I can keep it consistently.
My question is, do I get the benefits of fasting even if I'm not working out or other activity? Most of the time I will be spending either studying or sleeping/resting/vidya (I workout at around 4:30pm, due to my daily routine).
From what I've read there are some extra benefits of working out while fasting, but apparently you get the main benefits of improving weight loss, calorie burn, lower insulin and so on only require you to actually fast, regardless of what you're doing.
Am I correct about this or do I absolutely need to align my fasting and workout times in order to get any benefit out of it?

skinny motherfucker here. gaining weight is fucking impossible to me
so when I'm done beating my meat, my forearm gets really thick, but goes back to noodle form some time later. if I lift hard enough will I be able to make that effect permanent to other parts of my body as well? I need just enough so that my shoulders are wider than my hips, really

Are you supposed to feel doms and soreness that make it hard to walk proper after every gym visit or am I doing it wrong t. newbie

This is the EC stack guy. I know it's dangerous, but how might one put themselves in peril? I like to LOTE

Popeye?

You'll get used to it eventually. DOMS goes away once your body adjusts to being beat up all the time

Soreness is fine and good for you
Genuine pain that makes you feel like something is tearing or breaking or popping out of place is not

When did you guys switch out of starting strength or another beginner program?

A hypertrophy routine. youtu.be/ifNJ0pZpmx0

Not unless you're very undertrained or very overweight.

You should switch when it stops working or when the lifts turn into deathgrinds. Many people, myself included, stay on the program way too long because they think their lifts aren't "good enough" to move on. Everyone stalls at different points so ignore anyone who says you need to lift a certain amount before switching.

I switched after about 2 months, pretty much as soon as I stalled on a lift for the first time I realized I’d be spinning my wheels for months to add another 20 lbs to my lifts so I moved to a PPL and it’s been steady since. There’s only so much you can achieve with the amount of volume in SS

is insane vascularity like this mostly genetic?
is it possible to optimise training to achieve greater vascularity (beyond simply reducing bf%)?
do i need to be pinning? cialis?

Attached: img.jpg (720x1280, 152K)

What program should I switch to? I'm looking at Westside right now but is PPL a good idea? I'm looking for general athletic ability.

Depends on your goal. I'm not sure what you mean by general athletic ability, just that you don't want to specialize or that you want more cardio in the program?

yes
not beyond reducing bf
no

Well, I'm not sure what specializing means. I know there's powerlifting and bodybuilding; what else is there?

Weightlifting, strongman and crossfit, though the latter 2 are a bit more general since the excercise selection in competition is much larger and they also include conditioning.

I'm no expert coach but I think cardio is probably the no 1 thing for general athleticism. Which you can basically throw into any program either at the end of your workout or on a separate GPP (General Physical Preparedness) day. Think about your primary goals with lifting and we can go from there. Ie. do you primarily want bigger muscles, develop strength in certain movements or something else?

How do I get rid of funky smell? My earwax has always had really funky smell and I don't know what to do. For crotch, powder seems to work.

Push & pull routine, or the basic distribution chest-tricep, etc. Not full body if you're going for aesthetics.

How do I get good at form? I have barely started but I can't stop obsessing over form and trying to do it perfectly, however it seems really hard to make sure.

Do I just keep going and focusing on it while binge watching videos? Should I take notes on form and read before I lift?

I understand it would probably get easier once I learn them a bit but just getting good form for everything seems kind of overwhelming

Please rate my routine

I would also like to replace DB romanian deadlifts as they suck.

I am on this routine for a month now and been eating tons, gained approx 7 lbs and weights are being added on all exercises on a weekly bases so far.

any feedback would be welcome bruhs

Lost 67+kilograms over the course of 3 years, 25 more to go. I payed the price of my gluttony by having tons of excess skin under my arms and on the legs. Anybody have tips on excess skin removal surgery?

I'm trying to Progressive overload based on volume but what's an acceptable drop, if any, when upping weights? 70%, 80%? I was benching 50kg about 10 a set, but I can barely rep 5 at 60kg, I feel like it would take me hours to get back to the same volume

>Anybody have tips on excess skin removal surgery?

What sort of tips are you after? You just go and get the surgery. There is the tip.

>Deadlift a solid 500lbs
>Squat a respectable 380lbs
>bench a pitiful 275lbs
I’ve been lifting 5/3/1 for almost two years now. And while I’ve continually added poundage to my squats and legs, and even thickness to my chest and tris, my bench sits at 275lbs. How do I break the 275lbs plateau bros?

>Do I just keep going and focusing on it while binge watching videos
More or less. Eventually you’ll hit a point of “good enough” where you’ve got the form more or less right for what you’re lifting. Eventually you’ll start putting up enough weight that you’ll go back and re-examine your form from the ground up as you’re trying to milk a few extra pounds out of your lift beyond what little strength gains give you. Deadlifts are a great example. Easy to learn, stupid hard to master.
