When and how often should you do stomach vacuums for them to have any real effect?
Also does coldsculpting actually work?
Owen Gomez
just getting back to lifting after several months off.
I'm 185 lbs, bench is 3x5 175, squat 3x5 235, but can only dl 2x5 245 before my grip gives out.
what's the best forearm accessory for me to add to workouts? I already do pullups and hammer curls but those don't train grip strength much I don't think.

I've done 10 pushups yesterday, and now my chest hurts. Am I doing it wrong or am I just a worm?
Julian Edwards
ppl say to do farmer walks. also do some wrist curls for each side.
look up the different push up forms and if you are doing them right and your form isn’t off, it’s because you’re a worm, as you just said. but then just keep going.
my question:
when i start doing cleans with higher weights i get pretty dizzy. it’s just as if someone takes my and head and shakes it vigorously. i made sure to eat and drink enough. could it be the hot weather or is my form off? i make sure not to asphyxiate myself with the bar so it’s not that either. does any one have experience with that?

If I'm not perpetually sore can i do arms everyday without seeing negative results?
I've been doing arms 3x a week
Bicep curls x12
Followed by
skullcrusher x8
Followed by
Close grip press x8
I rest 30-45 seconds and repeat x3
Also thinking about adding sets of pushups after I've done it x3.

Will antidepressants kill my testosterone or gains?
Jack Lewis
why did pushups do more for me in 3 weeks than gym workouts have in months? I did 3 reps 4 sets pushups 12 second reps with 3 minute breaks between sets. Why did doing this make my triceps so huge compared to doing pull downs and dips at the gym?
Jason Harris
What do you guys do when calculating macros/calories for a big multi-person meal? I visit my parents on weekends to hang out with them old folks and my mom always cooks something. I thought of measuring the ingredients of whatever it is she's making beforehand or just asking her to do it, but I realize that's pointless because if the meal is for example soup, it's a huge pot where the three of us are gonna be served from, maybe more than once each throughout the day. What do? For now I've just been eating at a deficit during the week so that I can eat however much soup on the weekend with no worries.

Will i lose more mucsle while intermittent fasting rather than just a normal calorie deficit?
Chase Rivera
I'm interested in starting the SS routine with my home gym and my only problem with it is due to the structure of my house and frankly not being able to even do them I'm not able to perform chins-ups. Literally have a 6'2 ceiling, anyway, what would be a good substitute for this exercise.
Julian Rogers
Is 140g of protein while cutting enough?
Jaxson Long
Should I or shouldn’t I actually take tips I see on this board seriously?
Alexander Scott
coldscultping works but not in the way it's advertised. It'll shave a couple mm of certain areas of the body, it's not like liposuction or anything. It's for touchups. Even then personally i feel there's a lot of quackery involved.
arms 3x a week is fine as long as you're not doing them consecutively.
possibly. What are the listed sides?
pull downs don't work the tricep dipshit. Hence, the PULL in the name. Triceps are a PUSH muscle.
no.
I usually just fast until mealtime and eat what I want. Even if I go over one day won't ruin me.
probably, anything 0.82g/lb will do.
some variation of pull downs. Also, consider installing a pull up bar in your garage or something. You gotta have an area you can do pull ups. Shit, just get a door bar.
Most advice in the QTD threads will be contested by others if it's not legit. I'd always consider everything in here advice and suggestion rather than rock-solid info. If they link to proof, even better.

What lower body assisted exercises should I do?
Daniel Brooks
All muscles pull. Triceps are a pressing muscle
Ryan Price
>probably, anything 0.82g/lb will do.
Sick, really didnt want to go over my limit just to up protein for today
John Young
The function of the tricep is literally to extend and straighten your arm. That is not a pull function. Push/press, whatever, it's not a pulling motion and you cannot strengthen your triceps by pulling since that's not its function.
Blake Miller
After the last seat of deadlifts just stand 5ere holding the weight until you need to drop it. After each set of pull ups hang from the bar, keep the back activated though so you hang from your muscles and not the tendons. This will improve grip strength and grip endurance
Give it two days or so until it feels better and then do more push ups, your body will get used to it. Gym is still more effective though
Do you have the same issue with squats and deadlifts? Are cleans your first exercise? With hydration it’s much more important to be hydrated before the workout than how much you drink during for at least the first hour or so
Theoretically yes, but keep in mind that if you consistently exceed your maximum recoverable volume you may get tendonitis regularly and your performance could actually decrease as well. Track progress, if you aren’t improving reduce total volume for arms under 20 weekly sets per muscle
Do you mean push downs? Pull downs don’t work tricep. Might be a new stimulus, also you seem to not have been lifting for so long so might just be that you’re finally starting to see some gains. Could also just be that you’re training tricep more often now
Just go by how your stomach feels in the evening and next morning, usually a pretty good indicator of how much you’ve eaten. Won’t make too much of a difference anyways
Assuming it’s the same deficit probably not
Chin ups only start in the program at a point where you should be able to do them, you should absolutely get a bar of some kind installed, maybe outside if needed, chin ups / pull ups are one of the best exercises. Could also do lat pulldown or some rows, but they won’t 100% replace them
You should take everything with a grain of salt, and research things that seem odd yourself. There’s some good info and some shitposting, you’ve just gotta be able to tell the difference
Asher Reed
I had the issue with deadlifts once. It was on the same day after cleans. I do cleans as my second exercise in my routine. the days i had this issue were very hot. so it probably has to do something with hydration. i try to drink 2 - 3 liters before a workout throughout the day.

Why would you want to do assisted lower body exercises?
Muscles themselves can only pull and not push, but some primarily perform pushing motions in practice by being attached so their pulling can be converted to a push with the help of joints and bones.
Tricep are push muscles in that sense, though if you wanted to split hairs, I guess you could try and say that pull overs are partly a pull exercise and do work tricep anyways.
Yeah hot days are never ideal for heavy lifting. Maybe try lifting in the mornings when it’s hot if this is an issue for you?
Cooper White
>Why would you want to do assisted lower body exercises?
What? I want to do exercises that will help my squat and deadlift
Chase Richardson
do women really like muscles?
Gavin Brooks
I fucked up my back when doing bent over rows.
I was in pretty sharp pain for about a week, and thought it had gone away. But now when I do lifts which engage lower back ( DLs, Romanian DLs, Leg Press, Squats (kinda), Other types of rows) I have some dull, but significant pain.
Should I go see a doctor? Or have I just fucked my spine?
Aaron Ross
Is PPL a meme I should fall for or is there a better split? I'm a NEET so I can work out 6 days a week no probs
Gavin Cruz
Yes... if they're accompanied by an attractive face :)
Blake Taylor
Same thing, lower back hernia doing barbell rows. Pain lasted about a month then residual pain one month after that, now there's still a slight tingling in my lower back. No medical intervention.
As for training, what I did was just machines for bench and ohp since I can't properly arch without pain. All I could do for back work was pullups and cable rows. Accessories I just did light dumbbell work since I physically can't reach down to grab the heavier dumbbells. Cannot do log work.
After a month the pain subsided to the point where I can arch my back to barbell bench and also be able to do leg press and light rdls. One month after that back to squats and deadlift although I no longer use straps anymore and only work to what my grip can handle.
