/QTDDTOT/
My wrists and forearms hurt when doing diamond pushups, what am I doing wrong?
How the fuck do I wake up later?
I wake up between 4:30 and 5:30 every morning no matter when I go to sleep. It’s all because I used to go in to work with my mom for a period of time because I was a schizophrenic wreck and she’d wake me up at 6.
I just want to wake up around 8:00, is that so much to ask? Exercise is just so hard when you slept 4 hours.
Try to pull an all nighter
Are there any calories in boogers/earwax/fingernails/pimple pus?
Yes
Sleep deprivation has caused me to fucking lose it in the past and had me thinking that god wanted to talk to me if only I stopped taking my meds
I mean that seems like a really hefty medical problem. Idk, can you take sleep medicine?
I work all day (even more work now because of Rona. Walking about 10-15miles a day) and eat virtually nothing until 7pm but make sure to eat all my macros and calories when I do. Is this unhealthy?
No.
I’ve started doing 5x5 while fasting.
Do I just keep lifting until I stall even though I won’t be consuming surplus calories.
Do I keep doing this until 10% body fat then start eating at a surplus to increase my lifts on 5x5.
What is the correct amount of time to rest between sets?
I take a sleep aid so getting to sleep is easy. Staying asleep is my problem.
What's the best source of meat protein and calcium for the quarantine? Beef? Chicken Lamb? Tuna? Cheese
Try taking the sleep aid at 3 am and going to sleep then, could this help?
The protein and calcium content of food hasn't changed, user. Vary your diet .
What about lamb beef pork no chicken? I heard bad things about chicken
Sure, go ahead, why not ? I tell you the best thing you can do in any case is to eat different things every day to vary your diet.
I don’t want to go to sleep at 3 every night
Not every night, try it once. Maybe it might reset your cycle. I'm just going off the top of my head here. Try a few different thins
Just had a good HIIT circuit workout, but I'm in a lot of pain because I just had a bad virus that affected my joints in my sternum (feels like I've been punched in the gut).
If I smoke a little, is that gonna affect my gains?
45 seconds to 2 minutes is what you should be doing. Just enough to cool off and drink some water, maybe change songs.
No matter my weight I seem to always have an extra fat pocket under my ass. Right now I'm 105lb 5'4 and still have it. I know you can't spot certain parts of your body. I just want it gone.
>105lb 5'4

how to get fit during quarantine? I have a pull up bar, wanna get nice pecs and glutes
I've been in college for 4 years or so and it's a pretty small room but I've never smelled fart, how is this possible
can i get a quick rundown on protein shakes?
new to all of this fitness stuff
im 5'8" 184lbs, should i still be eating 3k cals if im going to start SS if im already big(fat)?
make your own, paying 3$ for a shake every day is not worth it in the end.
2 cups whole milk
3 1/2 oats
2 scoops whey
1 banana
5tbps penut butter
i get about 100 grams of protein with this shake
i see, do they like help build muscle?
you dont need protein, but if you can afford it and you want to, get it, its not a need, it will help. Working out+eating right is all you need though.
This is an embarrassing question but we're all men here.
After ejaculation, it feels like I have to pee, yet when I go only a tiny bit comes out. I have to keep running back to the bathroom like ten times or sit there for a while before I feel it finally all comes out. It is really annoying. Cause of this? Anything to worry about?
I made some bad food choices today and my blood pressure is through the roof so I can't sleep. What do i do until it lowers? Anything i can do to help lower it now?
I can even hear my pulse in my ear.
How can I become more flexible? My back hurts from sitting at a desk all day and I feel stiff often
I've been doing more weighted dips since I can do them at home now, and i have developed a pain in my right tricep when locking it out at the top.
The pain feels closer centered around the elbow and about halfway up the arm.
What is causing this and how can i fix it?
what do steroids do actually? I know that they help in muscle growth but how much really? what happens if someone takes roids and doesn't workout?
I feel like my glutes aren't doing enough during my lifts (specifically squat/deadlifts). Considering everything is closed now, what are some good bodyweight exercises to make sure my ass isn't stopping me from lifting as heavy as possible?
No.
In all seriousness, talk to your PCP. Probably (and hopefully) nothing serious, but there's no reason to take a risk when your dick is involved.
Your system gets fucked hard with an overdose of hormones it didn't produce.
If you don't workout either, you don't even get the positive side while getting all the bad shit.
If your bladder is actually full (you're not just "feeling" the need) then something is blocking your urine pathway. Might other swollen things from masturbation (for example the glands that produce the precum). I'd ask your doctor about it but before that, try having very short fap sessions or none if that's possible.
I posted this in the other thread but wanted another opinion. I'm 25 years old and 100lbs (5'6). Im tired of being skelly and want to lift. Being that the gyms are closed right now, should I buy resistance bands for home? Or something else maybe? Money isn't a big problem but I don't want to spend hundreds.
Also any other general advice would be appreciated :)
do a whole bunch of 1 legged ass raises
When you deadlift, do you keep constant tension between reps, or completely relax? In all my years of deadlifting, I've always completely relaxed my body for 0.5 of second at the bottom on a rep with the weights fully rested on the ground before bracing and completing the next rep. The other day however for some reason I proceeded to do my whole set without relaxing/unbracing (although still let the weight come a dead stop on the ground each time) and it felt so much better.
Am I fucking moron who's been deadlifting wrong for 5+ years? Or is technique personal preference?
If you're training purely for strength/hypertrophy, there's nothing wrong with 2-3 minute rests to allow the resetting of your muscular chemical pathways to occur. Maximal force production requires a bit of rest, so unless you're training for endurance, it's better to take 'longer' rests so each set can be done at full power
Unironically, liposuction
Google image search 'Start Bodyweight' and follow the instructions of the chart with all the pictures. If you're truly that much of a skelly, a good bodyweight routine would be a fantastic place to start before you get into the actual gym. Developing proper mind-muscle connections and understanding how to recruit the correct musculature is a big step towards strength.
Maybe you planted your hands too foward or "up" on your chest and flared elbows, but fuck diamond push ups just do dips nigga
Eat more. Weight not going up after 2 weeks? Eat more.
Look up FitnessFAQ and Calisthenicsmovement on youtube and learn movements and progressions

>No.
What should I do instead?
How good is jogging on the spot compared to regular jogging in terms of calorie burning ?Currently doing pic rel, specifically week 2 session 1
i have adjustable bench and 2x22 kg dumbbells. are my gains saved?
Does it hurt? I've had something kind of like this, where it would feel like my urethra was on fire and I needed to pee. The pain passed while I peed, only to then come back immediately after. It turns out it was bladder spasms, and the pain was referred pain from the bladder. Emptying my bladder before (but not immediately before) sexual activity helped.
Any work is vastly better than no work, so do as much as you can
Anyone have WhisperingCharlie videos or can share classic lifts?
Dude was inspiring and I really like the arm exercise he showed where you take the barbell up to a 90° then to your forehead.
Wanted to learn more, but his account got deleted.
What's the cutoff between going back and finishing a workout and giving up - from a physical perspective.
Yesterday I was doing squats and was interrupted for an hour and came back and knocked them out. Got me wondering where the cutoff is. 1 hour? 2 hours? 1 day?
Heavy squats made me skip workouts so I stopped doing them even though I only got up to 220lbs on them.
Can I just do high rep (3x8-10) squats once a week to make sure my legs aren't completely undeveloped? What will I be missing aside from smaller legs? I still do deadlifts.
How much should I eat on rest days?
I workout 3 times a week. Monday-wednesday-friday
sup /fit,
i'm 135lbs / 60kgs @ ~15-17 bf% (~10kgs of fat)
my goal is around 165~175lbs or 75~80kgs @ 10%bf (~7.5kgs of mass)
let's say I can gain 1.5lbs or 0.6kgs lean mass of muscle per month.
so i should try to put as much lean mass as possible right?
just the right amount over the needed tdee and possible doing intermittent fasting?
>What will I be missing aside from smaller legs?
dignity
>Heavy squats made me skip workouts
No, your weak mentality made you skip workouts.
I feel like I don’t even deserve a post on a QTDDTOT.
I was a recovering fatty who was doing pretty well for himself. (Lost 30 lbs, cleaned up diet, regularly exercising and building good muscle). I stumbled when o went back to school but it didn’t stop me. What did stop me was getting a gf. And not a fat one either. And Yas Forumsizens, she loves me for who I am. It doesn’t matter that I’m fat to her. In fact she generally prefers it. And like that, all motivation has been sucked from me. “The best way to destroy a man is to give him what he truely wants.”
I was happy for a time, but I’ve gotten fatter and fatter. Quarantine hasn’t helped either. I can’t go to a gym and I’m stuck at home surrounded by food. I look at myself in the mirror and feel disgusted. I can no longer really sext, or even have sex with my gf because I feel disgusting. I physically feel terrible on top of this.
And I don’t know how to get out of it. Especially now.
How do you motivate yourself when previously your motivation was self hatred? Because that no longer works when you have a woman telling you she loves you just the way you are, and gets sexually turned on by you, even if you feel physically disgusting.
I can't get restful sleep. When I'm finally sleepy (no earlier than 2 AM) and wake up at any time during the day, even 11 hours later I have the hardest fucking time getting out of bed. Any energy I might have is sapped within a couple of hours. I've always been like this, doc says I'm lacking iron but I don't feel like the supplements are helping. Maybe I'm taking too little at 45mg at most. I don't drink coffee but I'm starting to think I should. What do I do?
i sometime feel weak and sleepy as fuck and it goes all away when i eat something sweat
what's up with that? it only happens on some days, tried coffee instead of sweets but that doesn't help, next time i'll try eat rice or some shit to see if it's just a matter of carbs but this got me kinda worried, didn't happen before quarantine
Is 5 sets of 8 reps okay if my goal is hypertrophy?
1 barbell
60kg of weight
What 5 day routine would you do with this?
Right now I just alternate between 5 x 12 OHP/bench, 4 x 12 squats, 3 x 8 deadlifts/4 x 12 rows, 4 x 12 curls 3 times a week
is this a small enough amount of weight to do 5 times a week
It's depression. I have the same issue.
Go to the doctor again, say iron supplements didn't help.
