Hard to say at this early of a stage. Your hairline reshaping from a perfect straight line into a slight V is just a side effect of reaching adulthood for most people. You could be in the first stages of balding, you could just be done with puberty. No point in worrying about it yet unless it keeps significantly receding.

If it keeps up, then your options to prevent further balding are minoxidil (which you smear on your scalp twice a day) and finasteride (the pill). Literally every single one of the other 5000 hair loss "treatments" people waste their money on is complete snake oil that does jack shit.

> I don't have a partner to place weight on my back

Put the weight in a backpack.
Hold the weight on your lower back and go from a kneeling, to hands and knees, to full plank position and then hold it.

No partner, no equipment necessary

I've had a slight V for a few years now and it occured to me I might be balding, though now that you say it I was probably just maturing since I don't think it really change. Also looking at my father I see his grooves are kinda deep but he isn't bald, so I probably have nothing to worry about. Thanks for the help.

How long to go from 20% BF -> 10%?

I've started working out again after having not worked out in ~10 months to a year. Being that I got fatter than I like I figured I would get back into lifting and eating better. I've been eating at a deficit for a little over 2 weeks and I've seen some progress in terms of just weight loss. Should I continue eating at a deficit and lifting as much as I can or should I be more concerned with trying to build muscle right now and worry about cutting later?

when you change yourself for a girl you lose

there are many forms of diarrhea, there's secretory cause your body's just pumping too many minerals into your poop (like e-coli and shit will cause this, best way to test is, stop drinking water and eating for 5/6 hours and if you're still pooping, this is your issue). Learn how to make a isotonic mixture of minerals your body needs and keep drinking that every few hours and wait for the bacteria to go away.

If this isn't you then it could be malabsorption of certain foods, could indicate an intolerance to something or a much more serious problem

there's a few more types of diarriah but like just hit up your local doctor they know a lot!

You can't, cutting yourself lets blood out and your muscles need blood to provide oxygen and nutrients to them, if you cut yourself youre just shooting yourself in the foot and ngmi, dont be stupid eat your oats and do your squats

>do your squats
I can't commit to full depth. On my last one rep max I felt like I was going to drop the bar out of my hands. I wasn't even doing 2pl8! I thought that my form wasn't shit but, IIRC, dropping the bar is unhead of in a fucking sqaut.

How good of an exercise are skullcrushers for Triceps?

I live in the middle of nowhere and all I have is my power-rack, an adjustable bench and an olympic bar with 350LBS of weights.

My idea is getting an EZ curl bar so I can do a bit of isolation on tris and bis and I can use my existing weights without getting any other equipment. I already do enough compound stuff. Barbell crushers and curls are out of the question for my wrists.

anyone have an opinion on strength standards before even considering cutting? 1/2/3/4 or you think it's too high? I know there is no set rule and you can do whatever you want with your body just curious on some people's thoughts.

All I have right now is two 25lbs dumbbells and a pull-up bar. I can’t access a gym, but I don’t really mind. My main goal isn’t actually to get swol or anything, I just wanna be more fit and slim. I’m already running about 3-4 times weekly (using c25k, im on like week 4 i think) and I walk like 6 miles every day except saturday and sunday. I eat fine, usually between 40-140g of protein daily and usually 1200-2300 calories depending on how hungry I am. 5’10”, 140lbs and decently slim but have more weight from fat than I’d care to. What kind of exercises should I be doing the most?? Or like how could I form a good workout plan with what I have??

Currently cutting at 1500kcal, I’ve stuck to it for nearly a year now, bar the odd week off for vacation and holidays were I let loose. Anyway I’ve lost over 50lb and gained some muscle. I’m literally about 5lb from my goal weight, but I’m scared to up my calories as my recent weight loss has been ultra slow. My tdee is approx 2000 calories (being cautious)

I want to gain more muscle but don’t want to get fat

is there an easy diy to make that sort of bench?

im bulking right now and im about to finish my protein and im a broke college student and i dont know when ill be able to buy another 5lbs. How bad will it affect my gains? i fulfill my macros with foods like oats, milk, rice,turkey/fish/meat. but the whey helps me reach my 200g protein goal for the day and without it, I finish at about 150g

I think I have a stress fracture in my foot. I'm getting it checked out soon, but can I lift while having one?

My friend is now having a baby and I'm still an incel who only has the gym and an average uni stay
Wtf do I do with my lifeb

Any tips on making the soles of my chucks grippier? My gym's kinda shitty, there's no rubber under the rack, just a slippery floor and it fucking sucks.

I'm a skinny guy with still some fat on his belly (so no abs showing) and I wanna get bigger but obviously also lose the fat.
I guess I should train my core, but how should I eat? I calculated my TDEE and I try to eat on a surplus with moderate carbs, but will this help me lose the fat? I doubt it. Do I have to eat less fats than recommended?

That’s not how carbs and fats work (ex: eating fat won’t necessarily make you more fat). If you eat a CALORIE deficit, the fat will go away.
However, it sounds like to me like you’re at optimal stage where you can bulk for a few months and then cut down for the summer. Get some gains on your bulk, and then the gains will make your cut easier and more worthwhile.

Thanks for the response. The website where I calculated my TDEE gave me the option between low, moderate and high carbs, which should I choose to eat?

What's the proper way to measure your shoulders?

That’s up to you. Think of carb/fat balance as a way of reaching your calorie goal, the exact mix of % of fats/carbs isn’t as important as the end result of having consumed the right amount of calories.

Chalk? Lol

Only if you fantasized holding hands and settling down with her, and then eventually acting on that fantasy

1/2/3/4 is a strength standard that is very dependent on bodyweight (a whole easier to get while 300lbs vs 150lbs), so it’s hard to tell.

So why are proteins so important then? Should I even try to maximize those?

Hit your protein goal, and then mix fat/carbs to hit the rest of the calories needed.

wasn't planning on pursuing them lol, just killing some time

I could get nails that long if I never had to type on anything.

started lifting 6 months ago and ate at a huge surplus the whole time. I’m much stronger but I’m still a skinny dyel. on top of that I gained 20 lbs but I’m only 160. not fat at all but I’m really, really soft. I have a slight gut. should I cut or suck it up and keep bulking?

Have this friend showing me around the gym who likes to talk a lot but isn't particularly helpful. During bench press he told me that bench should work "just the chest" which sounded retarded to me because it's my understanding that a compound movement implies that it uses multiple muscles. Is he full of shit?

Totally fine, it'll help you either way.

Yes , you could be partially intolerant visit a doctor or try deslacotse milk

if you are happy with whats happening keep doing what your doing. If you just lower the amount of surplus, you should be able to keep making gains without gaining a lot more fat,

The past week i've barely been eating, sleeping twice as much and basically falling into depression I think
Struggling to force myself to eat (eating roughly 1800 cals instead of 2700) and now i'm scared i'm going to lose all my strength and gains, especially when I cut later on to lose some fat (but I already look skinny)
What do I do? I also keep having intense night terrors

best vitamin C supplement?

I work as a teacher and middle school kids are fucking disgusting, last thing I need is to catch something.

Sumo you can always pull more. Do both. I started to plateau on diddly until I sumo'd, then after about a month of sumo I started to progress.

>FUCK
:(

>The past week i've barely been eating, sleeping twice as much and basically falling into depression I think
Lift more. Sleep right. Wake up before 8 AM every day. Get in bed before midnight every night.

>Struggling to force myself to eat (eating roughly 1800 cals instead of 2700) and now i'm scared i'm going to lose all my strength and gains, especially when I cut later on to lose some fat (but I already look skinny)
It takes about a month to start LOSING strength and muscle. If you have any off days right now its because you don't have enough calories/sleep. You will not lost all your strength and gains over a few days. It takes a few weeks.

>What do I do? I also keep having intense night terrors
Night terrors always happen when I'm sleeping on my back. I recommend turning your phone off 1 hour before bed and just reading a book. After 1 hour you'll be calmed and exhausted and ready to pass out.

of course

Thinking about switching to sumo and adding Romanian into my program now. My glutes, hams, and lower back are my weak points currently. Think that'll help? I'm doing squats ass to grass currently so I was surprised my DL max was so low (355 lbs)

Towards the top of the ROM its your triceps doing the pushing, and depending on you grip you may feel it in your shoulders. As you progress you might find it worthwhile to learn body/leg drive.

355 is respectable. It's just ego now. Do some squats and presses. Romanians too. If you want to do sumo then do them, user. But I recommend you don't replace traditional with sumo.

Well it's just a strange number because my squat max was 365.

Been doing push ups with my fingers lately. Progress is really fast but my fingers hurt like fuck and I'm wondering if it might do more harm than good. It's not like I'm building finger muscles.
My question is am I making my fingers tougher or just fucking them up?

Yes they great

Probably fucking them up because your fingers are just bones and tendons. There's safer ways to strengthen them if that's what you want.

Recommend Athlean X vids. Saw a video of him recommending Roman Chair, but it was slightly varied (for exactly what you're asking). He's also rec'd it for some back exercises.

Meal replacement shake-fag here, is it advisable to also add a protein shake in per day?

How long have you been training on an injured tendon?

If you stop as soon as it starts to hurt, wait 3-7 days and then start with eccentric movements (less weight, slowly lowering) you'll be fine in a month.
Keep in mind that pain doesn't set in until you've actually damaged the tendon.

>t. some faggot who dicked around and now has to wait 3 months benching .5 pl8

Honestly not very, you'll get more out of weighted dips.

Start eating more protein, getting more sleep, drinking more water, up your sets to 5x5
we're all gonna make it.

put that chicken on some rice

They train to play football, not to deadlift. The same reason calisthenics fags rotate their shoulders before lifting weights.

It's difficult if you use proper form, try watching some videos on squatting.

Also it's possible you already have a knee injury and it's been exasperated or you're experiencing delayed onset muscle soreness, you're muscles will hurt for a few days after you train them initially.

Add some cycling, if you're not a jogger/ runner do something that is easier on your knees.

It can, if you've got muscles they can be sore. Although you should try to describe the pain as best you can and get off of your legs. Rest, ice, elevation if it feels painful.

Yes you can.

it's not great, you heal more during your sleep so you're missing out on gains.

I went on a series of dates with a girl nearly five years ago, she moved states, I never managed to fuck her, and we lost contact.

Recently she hit me up on Facebook, asking what I have been up to, and asking about a brownies recipe that we used to make brownies once.

Since then I've escalated the texts a bit and made them a bit raunchier. She's not reciprocated in terms of adding anything but tonight we were texting and the topic of slipping onto a dick came up. I said,

Me: "Also, haha, I thought of a way that I could slip into you . Imagine we're making out, having a great time, and then you're laying on your back, naked of course, and you proceed to wrap your legs around my waist. If you were to pull me in for a kiss from that position, I reckon you could get away with saying that I tripped and fell into you."

Her: "ahahahahahhaaha. True"

Would it be fine to respond with this?

Is there a good hyperthrophy 4x a week program like push/pull with legs incorporated on both days? 3x a week is getting stale for me.

Mate, why are you self-hating? We both know you're just a lowly pajeet untouchable who wishes they were anything but.

they work, but as you start applying weight your body'll try to employ other muscles to help you shift the weight, likely the hip flexors
i'd recommend working up from easier exercises like planks for time and crunches to stuff like hanging leg/knee raises and dragon flags/partials
most of all focus on getting a good contraction in the abs- like try pulling your elbows and toes together in your planks

Thank you very much for your help and time!

This was posted in a previous thread. Is it really possible to do all in a single day for the advanced steps? I do 3 sets of close grips push ups and I'm done with arms for the day, let alone doing handstand pushups (which I could if rested).

I just started lifting and I'm doing this program on a wikia about SS. It gives two starting workouts:
Workout A
>3x5 Squat
>3x5 Press
>1x5 Deadlift
Workout B
>3x5 Squat
>3x5 Bench Press
>1x5 Deadlift
What's the difference between press and bench press as such? Is it a typo? Do they mean overhead press?

>close grip pull-ups
FTFM

Does it make sense to drink protein shakes daily if you can't reach your protein goal?

The Press™ = Overhead Press

How long should I rest between sets? I used to think it was sub 2 min for hypertrophy and 2-5 min for strength, but according to this
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25047853
review of 74 studies it literally doesn't matter. Does this mean I can rest as long as 10 minutes if I so desire? (I know it's not practical, but still)

Cheers, thanks. Guess I started with B, I'll just do A tomorrow.

Do you think lifting would have led him down a different path?

help pls

Hey brehs,
Lately I noticed that I push way more with my right leg during squats. It went unnoticed until very recently. I am still at manlet weight (92.5 for 5x5), but my form really started to go to shit above 90 kgs because of this imbalance.

I want to deload to repractice pushing more evenly. Do you have any other advices that could help getting back in progression?

GAISE PLS HALP

Yesterday was chest day and I hit it hard with more weight. I only slept 3 hours last night. Today is abs day.

Should I just go to sleep tonight or should I do abs as planned and just go to sleep?

How long should your loading phase be on SARMs? I'm doing 170mg of LGD and RAD daily for two weeks but am having a lot of liver pain

Will I have abs if I get lean enough even as a beginner?

I'm about 16% bf now, 5'10" 143lb. I bench 145x5 and press 90x5. Do I have the minimum amount of strength to become a slightly muscular skelly with abs for summer?

If so I'm thinking of losing 0.5lb/week while lifting heavy until I hit 10%bf at probably like 135lb

can i get rec similar videos for zyzz original video workout+music+bit of trollin brah

Yes

Have you worked out at all since? Was the initial sensation painful and has it persisted at all? Do you notice an a usual bulge in your abdomen or pelvic area?

I recently got a job offer as a package handlet at a fedex warehouse; only issue is the hours. I'd be starting at like 4am every morning. Usually my sleep schedule is something like 11-7 12-8. What would be the best way to adjust to it? Could I sleep 4 hours or so then sleep another 3 or 4 when I get off? Or is my only option going to bed at 8?

okay why the fuck when I'm fapping I care about ass but when I actually have sex, tits make my dick rock solid?

Your brains a nigger but your heart and dick are white

Bad idea. Your options would ideally be to sleep at 8pm or maybe even go to bed right after you finish work if you don't mind keeping odd hours.

Help please guys it really hurts but I want my gains

If I just started going to the gym a couple of months ago and I'm a small guy, will I have time to bulk up and still cut afterwards for the summer to get abs?

Yeah man, visible abs are basically all about bf%. I had visible abs when I was anorexic just because I barely ate and worked out a bit. Obviously eat a healthy amount, but if you stick to mostly protein, eat at a deficit, and do some cardio alongside your weight training you’ll have abs in no time. Also since you’ll actually be healthy, they’ll be somewhat impressive and only get better and better. Good luck user!

The an undercut still an acceptable haircut?

I'm not OP, but still a question: I think I always ate at a deficit for most of my life yet I never had a six pack. Why is that? I didn't work out but I still think I ate less calories than what my maintenance would be.

I've been suffering slight but ceaseless jaw pain around the joints. I've had braces some years ago and a slight overbite. Will I have to live with this shit? It's been almost a year since symptoms first started to appear. Also jutting my jaw to imitate an edge-to-edge bite stops any discomfort instantly. I'm guessing it's ogre.

I started lifting this week, I am following Stronglifts 5x5. So on monday I did the exercise (squats, bench press, barbell row) mentioned there and now my muscles are sore that I can't even walk properly, I had to skip today

my question is should I reduce the weight or keep lifting same weight

I started with 20 kg for squats and bench press 30 kg for barbell row
my weight - 65kg, height 175cm

Attached: 1571044447449.gif (487x560, 898.5K)

it would be extremely painful

how do i into protein shakes? do i drink them all day? or before/after workouts?

Why does protein powder taste so bad? What do you guys do to make it more bearable?

Attached: 1563760946466.png (343x143, 35.38K)

If you can do it, dont reduce the weight. Your body will get used to having to work so hard and the pain will grow lesser as you continue. You need to take rest and recovery time anyway so its fine to take a day off. Come up with a regular schedule, be it full body, or a split. Youll feel like a demigod in no time

I'm doing a routine that is like this:
A:
>Deadlifts
>Underhand/Overhand Rows
>Pull-ups/Chin-ups
>Lateral Raises
>Biceps
>Shrugs
>Face-pulls
B:
>Back/Front Squats
>Incline/Flat Bench Press
>Overhead/Z Press
>Tricep Kickbacks/Skull crushers
>Weighted Hip Bridges
Week:
>ABABxxx
>I can't rest on weekdays
Days before somebody told me I was overtraining and drop some excercises, but honestly I feel so motivated with this routine and end happy at the end of the day, should I change it or keep doing this until I stop feeling the motivation?

If you feel happy at the end of the day, and you can feel the burn, stick with it. If one day you think its inadequate, do variations as you see fit. It would be wise to shift it around if you could to ensure theres at least one recovery day between the alternating routine, but if thats not possible, still stick with it. As long as you pace yourself, your body will adapt and stay healthy

Starting Strength or 531?

Whats the state of your wisdom teeth/tonsils?

if meditation leads to altered states of mind, why hasn't the US government made it illegal yet?

Neither but between the two SS

Thanks, fampai

The government sends ELF waves through cell phone towers and power poles to depress the mood or people. No one is capable of truly reaching an altered state via meditation due to the electronic/soul warfare being washed against us by the satanist cabal in power

What?

>neither
Why?

SS has too low of volume and doesn't hit deadlift hard enough. 3 days is shit, you should be doing 5 days, hit some muscles multiple times a week

I've been looking around this week and the best gyms I've found had exactly one smith machine, one squat rack and zero power rack.
I'm halfway through SS book and already can tell this is a bad sign.
What other things should I pay attention to while searching for a gym?

>What other things should I pay attention to while searching for a gym?
Make sure you ask if the gym is segregated and if not ask if they have a count of their black members. I do a home gym because I wouldn't tolerate a single one but a ratio of 1:100 is probably fine for a non-race realist

Please critique my routine Anons. Was on basic Greyskull for a couple of weeks but it felt like too little volume after a while. Added some stuff and looking for advice (should i switch to 4 times a week?):

AxBxAxx
BxAxBxx

A
Bench Press - 2x5, 1x5+
Barbell Row - 2x5, 1x5+
Squats - 2x5, 1x5+
Side lateral raise - 3x12
(Weighted) Dips - 3x10

B
Overhead Press - 2x5, 1x5+
Chinups - 2x8, 1x8+
Deadlift - 1x5, 1x5+
Incline Bench Press - 2x10, 1x10+
Curls - 3x12

+ = AMRAP

Thanks in advance senpais

That's a given.

Your volume is garbage do a minimum of five sets for every workout user

deload, start programming in unilateral work like split squats and lunges to strengthen your weaker side, progress up on them like you would your main lifts

Not that user but this is false bruh

Yeah your chart doesn't say shit about reps you dumb retard, fuck out of here with that gay shit and your queer ass faggot

use milk, not water

Wait so.. everything? Even deadlifts?

Yes.

what are your stats
how much do you lift

>natty lifters
>6 day routine
LMAO

I started lifting about two months ago, doing Stronglifts and I have some questions.
I'm currently at 35 kg OHP, 55 kg Bench, 80 kg Squats and 50 kg Barbell Row all 5x5 and Deadlift 85 kg 1x5 at 70 kg bodyweight. Is this progress alright so far?
Also when I bench after squats I feel that it's difficult to spread my legs properly because the insides of my thighs (hip flexors?) start cramping. Is this normal or is it a sign that I'm squatting incorrectly?
Also is it normal that I feel deadlifts mostly in my upper to mid back or is that a sign of poor bar path?

Anyone?

Attached: pixel pep.png (30x24, 149)

I'm a beginner - 177 cm, 63 kg (I started at 59 don't judge) so I'm still putting extra weight on the bar every workout but:

Bench: 51kg
Row: 49kg
Squat: 68kg
DL: 70kg

for 3x5 rep range. Don't know 1RM.

yes it's good progress. ignore anyone that tries to troll you and say otherwise
>bench
no idea, never heard of that issue
>deadlifts
you are going to feel it in your back but if it's mostly feeling like a back workout then you may be doing it wrong. record your deadlifts and check, be honest with yourself. the bar should be rising from the power of your legs, not your back

>"leg" day
LMAO ngmi

looks like a fine routine. if you want more volume you can maybe try
>4x5 1+x5
but as soon as you stall/fail the 4th or 5th set drop it back to 3x5 and keep progressing. don't get stuck spinning your wheels on 5x5 bullshit

thanks

How important are rest days?

Depends, how low does your pussy sag?

user pls
I did a full body workout yesterday and want to know if it'd be a good idea to do one again today or just rest

I already said yes you homo, can you not read?

You still need at least a bit of size on your abs to see them in addition to a low BF%. A minimal amount of core work and the usual compound lifts is usually enough.

Is this /our song/?

Ab wheel Ross Enamait is good inspo for this.

How long does it take doing an routines 3X a week to see abs at 15% body fat?

*ab routine

Karen Smith SFG on Yt or Srrongfirst dot com

Just buy some food grade cellulose lmoa

Is doing the same lifts twice in a week okay with adequate rest?

Seriously?

Will anyone please post that picture with the quote "wanting it to be easy"? I could really use it.

NO WAY!!!!!!!!! stick to brosplits. the human body is only conditioned to intensively use a muscle one a week at maximum

well using all the detail you have provided, that routine, your current athleticism, work rate, planned reps and sets,,,,, i would say 2 weeks max

elaborate

Coffee and multiple bananas. The order doesn't really matter, as long as it kicks in during the workout.

nice trips
use your brain dude

anyone else here having elbow pain after bench presses? Same thing applies to OHP.

Does anyone have a good PPL split that used mostly dumbbells? The bar bench and racks always have a line up for them.

Nice job supporting an eating disorder you fucking idiot.

while i was training my lower back i suddenly had a electric, tingling feeling in my face for a minute. what was that?

I'm curious about this as well. I usually make shakes after a workout but thats mainly because I dont like eating beforehand. Especially if I do ab stuff. My bud drinks a huge one throughout the day tho, and I don't know which is better

Im a begginner, taking a week off lifting due to an (unrelated) injury. Do i keep bulking or do i cut?

Do neutral grip pull ups work the lateral deltoid?

i'm lifting and my lifts are getting bigger but i still look like a fat fuck with belly fat, what do i do
my weight has remained a constant 86-89kg

eat at maintenance. don't cut or could lose strength, don't bulk because it will just get you fat

Can't convert fat into muscle. Drop your calories.

if i don't eat big though i will plateau quickly, right?

post lifts

57.5kg/125lbs squat
40kg/88lbs bench press
27.5kg/60lbs overhead press
60kg/132lbs deadlift

1.78m/ 5'10 height

If you eat big you gain fat as well as muscle if your training and macros are also on point. If you eat small you work to maintain your muscle while losing fat. You have to choose one or the other for the most part. Yes, I know recomp exists, but yeah go on a cut if you feel you have too much fat.

Those are like... month 1/2 numbers user. You're not going to be plateauing any time soon.
