heavy weights are bullshit
No.
Yes.
How?
Yes, pic related (my living room wall)
Cool, what is your routine?
I'm
>How?
Abs help stabilize your entire torso. Strong abs will also relieve strain on your back during recovery. If you've ever had a back injury and you go to PT, like 95% of the exercises you will be doing are ab related. You'll very rarely be doing any direct back work, if at all.
Ergo, having strong abs will also help prevent back injury. The only times I have ever had any sort of back injury or even strain is because my core was weakened (sitting down at an office job, not doing ab exercises, etc). It hasn't happened often, but it was extremely consistent in how and why it happened.
you a dungeon master?
>>>/tg/
you're not wrong
A lot of reps is better than progressive overload if you want more muscle mass
Doesn't more muscle mass make you stronger?
Very cool. Now go learn what progressive overload actually means
Increasing reps is a type of progressive overload.
That IS prrogressive overload you doofus.
Progressive overload is just making your exercise harder than last time
That can be increased weight, reps, time under tension, lower rest intervals etc.
Back injuries are due to weak abs.
This is so damn based and should be in the history books
Also hamstrings
*weak bracing
leg curls, calf raises and vegana machines are all and the same homosexual workout for trannies and pussies.
So I should just do squats and deadlifts on leg day? That's pretty much all I do now
hip thrust and calf raises are good too
>T.
deadlifts are an accesory lift meant to strengthen the posterior chain
where I'm going is RDLs with relatively light weight is the GOAT deadlift exercise
How light are we talking? Like what percentage of your conventional deadlift
Chalicstenics are amazing and I can look great with just a pull-up bar and some rings to to dips on the same pull-up bar.
Your legs will be ka king
Most shit is a meme.
Work constantly, work hard.
Doesn’t mean too heavy, just push yourself.
You will have 80% of the gains with 20% of the effort.
Dont eat too much shit, sleep enough, some drinks are fine.
99% of supplements are bullshit.
99% of people in the industry are lying and just want to sell something too you.
90% of people's lift selection and programming fricking suck
>base your program around compounds!!!
>okay, my arms are small how do I fix this?
>do curls moron!
Now apply this logic to every muscle on the body. Every muscle has an objectively best lift for it and everything else is less efficient.
I also can't stand people that say useless platitudes like "WORK HARD BRO" because you're making this insecure assumption that anyone trying to learn how to lift better is a "pussy." They're already lifting hard they're just trying to optimize and learn more unlike you who does 5x10 lat raises and roids and thinks he's a badass.
>every muscle has an objectively best lift
The point of compounds is to not spend 3-5 hours in the gym every time you want to do full body, because you are doing isolations for every single muscle.
DUZ DAT MEAN MY BOOTY CAN PULLA TRUKK
Most people simply do not do enough volume.
The whole "compounds are all you need" meme got out of hand. My arms only started growing after I started curling and isolating my triceps. Rows and benching wont add much size
Hell yeah. I have noticed my best gains when putting in 20 sets into the main muscle groups and 10+ into accessories. It does take time to build up to this though
Pull-ups, chin-ups and dips are compounds and my arms are good
These 3 aren't recommended for beginners because most can't do them.
Hell, powershitters can't do them at all and they are the ones bragging about only doing compounds. Truth is the do just half of them
She will only like you, if you can deadlift 4 plates
How much does a plate weigh?
new wave of zoomers who bench below their bodyweight while larping as some neo nazi crusaders fighting obesity by signing up to the local planet fitness is what ruined this board
They're better than r*dditors(You).
lifting is nothing more than an exercise homosexual, go develop a personality instead of turning it into some holy worship type shit
True they are annoying. I'm a 30yo lifting to protect my autistic little sister.
Lift with wholesome purpose imo is the best way.
your sister looks very cute anon, you're a good brother
Ty
I love my lil pumpernickel doona grub so much
I want to kill her and frick her dead body.
I want to kill dubs anon before it's too late so I can chain her in my bathroom just for me
I want my rape to be within our loyal and monogamous relationship
everything works and everything is bullshit for someone. You should try almost everything for comparison and keep what works.
People use “genetics” as a cope to be fat lazy morons incapable of fixing their diets and will never make meaningful progress
If your goal is strictly to build muscle and not athletic performance, then hack squats are better than barbell squats.
all meme and crash diets are moronic and anyone who follows them is a sheep including keto, fat free, carnivore, paleo, etc etc.
I agree with the meme diets but I don't see whats wrong with crash dieting, "water fasting" (hate the fricking name tbh, just call it starving at that point) litcherally just works and all this "but you gain it back!" is coming from weak willed homosexuals
If thats the case 99% of people are weak willed homosexuals
And even if youre the 1% youre just making it harder for yourself, I see no reason to starve yourself unless you need to lose weight very quickly for something like a wrestling weigh in
Recomp is possible anywhere above about 15% bf
manlets are just like normal people, only smaller
1/2/3/4 is advanced, not novice.
Depends on body weight. Powershitting has weight classes for a reason
strength should be compared by body mass vs weight being lifted rather than raw numbers so powerbloaters can finally frick off or actually start putting in the same effort as everyone who isnt a fat frick
Gym should be free for young people
Imagine if the gov took the hundreds of billions of dollars spent on defense and made public gyms everywhere and paid successful athletes in all sports (like some countries)
wouldnt even need to raise taxes
>defense
*corn subsidies
true.
The federal reserve runs a tax farm and we are cattle
There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn. One must imagine Bessie happy.
IST is a bodybuilding board, powershitters with their strength standards should frick off to /plg/
I don't like leg days. I do squats and calf isolation on push day, deadlifts and hamstring isolation on pull day and that's all I do for legs.
My legs are naturally big (a lot of it must be fat tbqh, but still pretty big) and if I did legs on a separate day I'd just end up skipping it because I hate leg training.
Also, I like upright rows.
I don’t count calories. I don’t own a scale. I don’t follow a routine. I do whatever workouts I feel like doing and I’m comfortable in my own body.
Have fun being DYEL forever.
Heavy compound lifts are a meme
You would be vastly happier, healthier, and in better shape if you started doing calisthenics instead of being a morbidly obese powershitter. Absolutely nobody cares about BIG NUMBERS.
Functional fitness like goata and fp is based and the future
meal timing matters
90% of IST could accomplish all their goals at home with 3 kettlebells, a pull up bar, and somewhere to do dips.
What weights for the three kettlebells?
32/24/16 kg, if you are already strong 32 alone is fine
Am i supposed to deadlift/RDL/goblet squat 32kg at most? what does a routine looks like with this equipment?
The bells are mostly for 1 arm swings or snatches and adding resistance to the pull ups and dips.
You can basically train everything you need to to look good by doing 3 days a week of swing/snatch, pull ups, and dips. Throw in some hill sprints for extra leg work and you are golden. The exact routine isn't important, just keep finding new ways to progress.
>controversial truths
cables machines are great
If you need accessories to lift something, your program isn't complete
weights are overrated food is everything
Genetics are the most important thing in building muscle/strength naturally. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try though.
Bodybuilding is stupid.
Sure, you need to isolate certain muscles that don't get worked with compounds, but training just for mass instead of strength or performance is insane.
Training calves is basically pointless outside of improving ankle stability. Big calves look silly and unathletic. They are actually detrimental to running.
Focusing on 1 rep maxes is idiotic unless you're a competitive strength athlete. Working up to heavy/rpe9 3-5 reps or like an rpe8ish single is fine.
Too many young lifters egolift and get hurt.
>have brain injury
>poor balance for life
>have massive calves because they somehow compensate for it
>keep getting asked my calf routine
I'm starting to run out of lies, but also it's insane the number of mires (almost exclusively from homosexuals) I've gotten from them.
There is some truth to this
Competitive bodybuilding is a freak show. but training to develop an aesthetic physique is really good for your overall health. Even if you train "just to look good" you will still be stronger than most guys. Add some cardio and your body will thank you for many many years
You should never use weights. Any strength training that you should do should only be bodyweight. All weights do is break your spine and your joints down. And you'll pay the price later in life.
Want to be big? Well enjoy your vanity and pay the price later.
Not everyone can make it. What's more, they shouldn't. If you're inferior you should have a body that reflects that fact so as to repel worthwhile mates that could be better suited paired up with someone who is capable of giving a shit.
you don’t need to lift if you’re a woman
Don't lift for mass until you reasonably strong. you won't get massive by doing a 100 pound bench or a 150 pound squat, first train for strength.
>Don't lift for mass nor strength until you feel really healthy, flexible, nimble, limber, vigorous on you whole body. Do bodyweight and lightweight stuff + fix your cardio before even looking at heavier stuff. Take your time to get an athletic, modest, otterlean amount of muscle.
>Then get some more lean mass with medium weights, plenty of volume and full rests.
>Then you get to focus on mass or strength or whatever you want.
FTFY
Lifting is useless if not for a practical purpose. It is otherwise vanity.
I'm sure every hobby you do directly translates into skills you'll actively be using during the inevitable societal collapse. Do you watch any kind of shows that aren't strictly educational? Do you partake in any kind of recreational drug? Do you have any tattoos? Is your vehicle optimized strictly for your daily commute (moped) or does it serve to satisfy your ego?
Stop LARPing about "muh pragmatic practicality" because it's transparent that you say shit like this purely to satisfy your ego (insecurities). You are ironically more emotional in your decision making than someone who lifts strictly for vanity.
Being big and being strong are two interconnected containers. Of course you will be bigger if you train in a hypertrophy oriented way and of course you will be stronger if you train in a strength oriented way. But I do think that no matter the style you train, you should have a block where you dedicate yourself to the opposite style of training (have a strength block if you do hypertrophy or have a hypertrophy/volume oriented block if you train heavy and for strength)
At some point if you want some specific muscle group to grow, you need to grow other muscle groups as well. Your body will, at some point, stop allocating muscle building blocks into a hyperspecific muscle group no matter how hard you stimulate it, if your other muscle groups are too far behind.
If you want a big chest, you can focus your training on it, but you will reach a certain point where to add some chest mass, you will have to add mass somewhere else also.
Also I think the "the more muscles you contract during the movement the harder you can contract the main target muscle group" principle is severely underused and underappreciated.
Many people (especially on IST) drastically overthink their fitness. It’s a very simple process in reality.
This is peak natty + top 0.1% genetics and a whole life of training.
and gets brutally mogged the instant he gets near a roidtroony
SBD especially the PL kind are themselves accessory lifts and not a musst.
streetlifting is a better strength sport than powerlifting
also gymnastic training is super based
>IST version
Unless you are actively participating in a certain /general/ thread, and only in general threads, of a subject you practise:
>You have no reason to be here
You are wasting your time, you are getting nothing from this board but shilling, you aren't learning anything nor having real fun, you aren't smart nor witty or funny with your dumb posts which contribute nothing, you are killing old useful /general/s with your lame humour threads nobody cares about and you bait in and self bump all day waiting for a bit of attention you don't get anywhere else (or procrastination or fishing for compliments/excuses for your lameness fueled threads), and you are never making it if you stay as you are. It doesn't matter what you mean by "making it", we all know this isn't it. Fix your fricking existence.
If it's worth your time you can get it faster and better anywhere else, and useful answers are an online search away.
That means fasting, running and powerlifting generals are about the only things this entire board has to offer any day, any time, anywhere.
Yeah, don't worry: It's over.
I AM right and you will regret the time you spent here.
Cope and seethe and see you tomorrow.
Put that on your fricking sticky.
10 set programs are incredible and people should do more sets
