Im too lazy to check catalog
If I train traps like this. Heavy controlled shrugs
Workout (day 1)
Rest (day 2)
Workout (day 3)
And so on and on, will I see mayor improvements? I can get 3.5 days to work then out per week, doing 4-5 sets to fry them good, thats in the 10-20 weekly rep sweetspot for maximum hypertrophy and muscle growth, will it be enough for them to grow properly?

    Do some gyms really don't allow training barefoot? I googled it and it seems everyone one on /reddit/ finds its gross. Wtf? Is this an American thing?

      Use black socks and keep it lowkey. My gym sometimes breaks balls about it but its when dickheads are on shift. I do sometimes with leg workouts, and Ive never been called out about it.

      How do i get rid of visceral fat?

      Caloric deficit. Add cardio and weight train to speed up the process

      >power shrug up
      >slow eccentric down
      Your traps will explode.

      Will do when Im on my RPE 9-10 reps. Cheat a lil bit and control down. Thanks

      meh I changed my major after graduation plus 6 years of work, way happier about it.
      Answering your question, the correct answer is "depends" because its too specific. How much can you recover related to what the volume and intensity you're doing is. My notion is,
      if you're doing work on a muscle and its doms for 3+ days, I'd say you have done too much and its not optimised.
      If I didnt get doms I would hit it once every other day.
      If I did enough to get just slight doms for a day after it, I would hit that muscle again on 2nd or 3rd day.
      You make gains regardless but like I said it depends on you.

      Im at a pretty advanced stage. I dont take rest days anymore and when I best the absolute shit of a muscle group (PPL) I usually get 1 day doms. thanks for ur insight

Pic rel already diminished, didn't find the pic of peak peak.

          nta but consistently, pineapple works better than veggies, avoid collared greens and especially asparagus and try to avoid turmeric.

          when starting out as skinny fat, should you bulk or cut first?

          i just did recomp for 6 months, didn't gain or lose a pound, roughly tripled my lifts from DYEL #'s to "yeah that's a beginner lifter" #'s, then wanted to see what cutting would be like so i dropped from 180 to 165 over 2 months. you can recomp if you're around 18+% BF, and it's a lot easier than bulking or cutting so it's good for getting started lifting. try that and revisit when you start plateauing on your progressive overload, generally means you're done being able to effectively recomp.

      You can't spot-reduce fat. Keep losing weight and it will eventually go away, though you may end up with unpleasant skin flaps or stretch marks in that area

      is it too much volume to do weighted pushups and incline bench

      Depends on number of sets. Include actual info about volume when you're asking about volume

      Don't feel any pain or discomfort, should I go back to lifting today with a light workout, or rest up today as well to play it safe?

      I'd personally go with a light workout and plenty of stretching/low effort motion. Just swinging your arm around, getting full range of motion with very little stress on the joint.

    Is there a meaningful advantage to isometric vs isotonic exercises? I can see that isotonic might give you better development due to broader range of motion, and isometric might be easier on the joints, but that seems like it...

        Sometimes I use the sprinting routine we did in track except at the park. A lap is about 1.3k so a little longer than two laps, so I run one lap, rest for a couple of minutes, sprint half a lap, walk back to the "start", and then sprint a quarter lap and walk back to the start and repeat usually 2-3 times.
        If I'm at home I do a sandbag complex (bear complex) and pyramid down with 90s rest. I usually start at 7 and add weight (very slowly) as I get faster.
        Sometimes I'll just do simple jump-rope intervals. Like a 30 seconds sprint and 1 min rest until I get to 15-20 minutes.
        You can really do HIIT anywhere which is why I like it. I've been playing with doing "mountain climbers" with my feet on furniture sliders on my bedroom rug but I don't know how to do it without smoking my abs too hard.
        Oh and everybody I see in public is a fat boomer because I live in the south lmao.

      Accusing him of being natty or accusing him of being on roids? Either way, I think most people would react positively to a

      like you're mirin' either way. This sounds like you're doubtful that he's natty but are willing to accept that he is if he says so.

      Ι've reduced my carbs intake because I am too lazy to prepare them, I just eat my protein with some salad/greens for lunch, eggs for dinner and a protein bar(per day)/fruits or yogurt for snacks.
      I am still doing ok at the gym energy wise and can workout perfectly fine. Is this sustainable or plain moronic long-term?

      Sounds fine. If you start to feel tired after a while just increase carb intake.

      if i do gomad as a natty will i just get fat?

      Absolutely but you can always cut afterwards.

      is there a consensus for the best dumbbell + barbell routine?
      if so which is it

      I'm guessing you're very new because that is an incredibly open-ended question. There are many programs that incorporate dumbbells and barbells and which is "best" depends on your goal and circumstances. I suggest you read the sticky.

      If they laugh even at the really lame jokes, it's because they're into you.

      His image says "pork". It should be obvious that "raw meat" just means "beef". I shouldn't have to say this but just stay away from raw chicken and pork. Pork is known to be filled with parasites and raw chicken gives you a stomachache that will dehydrate you exceptionally.
      >inb4 "why local"
      You want to go to a farmer's market, specifically. They take significantly better care of their cattle. Poorly raised cattle can make you sick. This is even true when you do cook it. There is also the issue of distance traveled. Fresher meat = better meat.

      for the love of god what kind of person would look that information up online or even on IST of all places. Ask a fricking doctor, for god's sake you're gonna bring a life into this world it's not a game, man the frick up urgently.

      >trusting doctors
      Are you moronic? Doctors don't know what the frick they are talking about. Have a personal annecdote: I told a doctor to drink meadowsweet tea instead of taking asprin for a headaches. They call it "pseudoscience". Meadowsweet contains salicylates, which is tangentile to asprin. The response? They said you should "trust the professionals".
      >man the frick up urgently
      I reject modernity's notion of what it is to be a man. I ask here, and then I look into what they are saying, as per the usual. You're a big fricking moron and shouldn't be trying to help idiots. I'm going to inject my dick with steroids and do wiener pullups, while my wife eats nothing but boiled eggs and does 8+ hours of supine bicycle kicks, before breeding her for as many kids as possible and introduce them to IST and we'll make crystals together. Then after we do that, I'm going to work on building up their resistance to bullets. Stupid Black person. have a nice day. That's canadian doctor medical advice.

      Everyone's saying top, but I prefer bottom. Bumper plates are definitely great if you treat your stuff like shit, though. The grip plates are way easier to load, especially for a beginner, and they're actually a bit more versatile since you can do things like shrugs or farmers carries far easier and with a proper grip with them. Little things like that go a long way for a beginner.

        Not a crossfitter or a woman. Have used kettlebells before, but only for swings. They made my hips more explosive and endurant, and increased my grip strength. My deadlift went up by quite a lot without me directly training it.
        I just wanted to know if anyone has any experience using them for shoulders, or has any information regarding the claims about them being the "best" equipment for shoulder strength, stability, or health. The reasoning I have heard makes sense, its a dumbell but its off center, so as you press and rotate it puts the weight in different areas which shifts the focus and demand throughout the entire shoulder.

        Instead of providing any meaningful response, you decided to be a moron and attempt to shit on others with your crab bucket mentality. Kinda cringe, consider rope.

        That's really good advice, thank you. What were your portion sizes starting out? I figure that I might be able to eat 4 meals a day if they're not too big, as chronic undereating has affected my capacity.

        count for a really long time until you really have the hang of it, count everything with calories, even celery if youre particularly weak willed. Only way to be sure tbh, the vas majority of people will lie to themselves and are not mentally prepared to be their own masters, you're statistically likely to be one of them.

        I know I'm not mentally prepared to be my own master, but that's something I want to change. I have an opportunity that few people of my population sample have in living alone.

          That's great, if you want to be SURE you're eating what you need count calories. If you want to guestimate it do it at your own risk, one great way to get good enough at guestimating is to count for a long time then youll really get a hang of how much is too much or too little

          I made the portion sizes on the smaller to medium side starting out. In the beginning I was more worried about consistency and adherance, so to make the transition from undereating to caloric surplus easier I did keep that in mind. That will depend on you though and what you can handle, as even with that in mind there were still days I felt as if I was force feeding myself and just didnt want to eat as much. It does get easier though, so stick with it. Good luck.

          Just as a general example though
          >1-2 cans of tuna
          >some mayo
          >some pickles
          >a slice of bread or two
          this was a pretty common meal I ate, started off with 1 can tuna and 1 slice bread, worked my way up to 2 cans tuna and 2 slice bread. Eventually looked to start adding eggs as well. All 4 of my meals were roughly this portion size, so not a whole meal, but not just snacking either.

      When I'm bulking I still eat 3 times a day but I try to keep some very calorie dense foods around to help me out if I get to the end of the day and I'm under my goal.

      Maintaining muscle mass while you cut is mostly about eating a ton of protein.

    By lifting like a moron you mean too heavy? I am more concerned about long term health, and the only thing I can think of is joints. It seems to be pretty inconclusive wether weight lifting helps or hurts joints.

    Ι've reduced my carbs intake because I am too lazy to prepare them, I just eat my protein with some salad/greens for lunch, eggs for dinner and a protein bar(per day)/fruits or yogurt for snacks.
    I am still doing ok at the gym energy wise and can workout perfectly fine. Is this sustainable or plain moronic long-term?

    When doing pushups, I find it nearly impossible to keep my right arm from flaring out. How might I go about fixing that? (Yeah, I'm weak as frick. Lost a lot of muscle over the last 5+ yards, so starting with calisthenics... Figure I'm less likely to injure my shoulders again that way.)

      I had this problem and it was caused by having one if my shoulders in a "shrugged" position and my body bent to the left (my head and feet were not lined up). Now if I do them I start laying flat on my stomach which helps me line up better and for a couple years I would only do narrow pushups concentrating having my shoulder blades tucked down and my elbows pointed back. I have to add while this helpes me I rarely do push ups, maybe once a month so this might not work if you do them often and you have the incorrect patterm built in a your default movement, I am not sure.

    I've been eating right and exercising for about 10 years of and on. I've went from 270lb down to 166lb. I still have a small amount of fat I'm trying to get rid of around my stomach. I have being calorie deficit between 1600-1800 everyday. My problem is by about 2-3pm I am extremely tired, I've stopped lifting this week. If I stay up later than 9pm I will literally start feeling like I'm intoxicated I can't focus on anything visually or mentally. It's like my body and mind go into autopilot until I go to sleep..what can I do? Idk if I can mentally take feeling exhausted like this everyday.

    tl;dr my ankle mobility is so bad I literally can't squat correctly so squats/split squats/leg press are off the table because I either have to do them like 1/3rd the way or risk falling backwards/causing my knees to explode
    already seeing a PT/doing drills to increase ankle mobility etc, but in the interim I'd like to work my quads somehow
    the ankle mobility is so bad I'd get knee pain from fricking leg press and I'm like 3 inches AWAY from passing the wall test (bare minimum needed to squat)

    i had to skip working out for 1 and a half weeks due to catching the coof. after 2-3 days i already felt fine, just a very mild cold overall. i was on the verge of going insane due to not being able to work out cuz at this point, its just became such a huge part of me that i hate skipping out on but i also knew if i start too early its probably gonna bite me in the ass big time.
    im a beginner (lifting for ~5 months "seriously") how should i set my expectations? im gonna start with benching on that day, should i just pick back up where i left off or maybe do a feeler set to see if im actually up for it? can i expect to have regressed massively?

    finally started being CONSISTENT, with gym going. Am roughly 13kg overweight, and i go 3 times a week for weightlifting mostly. I don't really do cardio but i live on a hill so the walk back gets me going. I eat at a 0-200 calorie defecit and try to have a decent amount of protein but im finding it hard to get over 100g a day without eating too much. Anyways my question if i keep doing what im doing will i eventually get fit? I am making progress i think since i get stronger almost every week but the progress on the scale has been minimal and I can't tell any difference in the mirror

      >if i keep doing what im doing will i eventually get fit?
      I mean it's possible, but you have a (very)long way to go. By fit i guess you mean good looking with abs defined muscles and all that athletic aesthetics, or at least brad pit lean mode?
      well, for that you need two things, lose weight and gain muscle mass. I guarantee you're counting the calories wrong, and also guarantee that you're more than 13 kg overweight, the noobness of your post is very evident because you didnt even read the sticky or consulted a more serious source. In any case, a good estimation is not important, you're so far away from losing those 13kg that just, cross the bridge when you get there.
      Let me clarify something: losing weight is an absolute necesity to get your goal but is not a guarantee. The most likely scenario is that you'll look kinda skinny fat once you lose 100% of all the weight. Once you get to that point you can start building serious muscle. You can't build serious muscle while losing significant fat, you just can't, no youre not the little snowflake that break the laws, you get the exact same that everyone else, particularly if youre that average regarding force of will.
      200 cal deficit?
      ok if you do everything perfect and not screw up even once, that means measuring every single piece of calorie you ingest, everything no exceptions, one candy bar, one half a teaspon of oil in your salad would ruin this. Then if you do this you could lose those 13kg in aprox 1,4 years. But i fricking guarantee you have more to lose, also i guarantee youre not counting your calories right and that at this moment you are not at a deficit or rather youre eating at a surplus. Aim for a 500 cals deficit, measure everything obsesively, youll still mess up and end up doing more similar to 200. In any case, keeping in mind your force of will and that you probably have to lose extra weight, 2 years is a more reasonable estimate, that is the point in which you START to build real muscle

      • 1 year ago
        Anonymous

        thank you very much for the answer. it's true that the 200 calorie deficit is hard, the diet is the hardest part for me. if it really does take that long for the muscle to start building should i just focus 100% on diet until im like only 2/3kg overweight? Also if it takes that long for muscle to grow how am i increasing weights at the gym, is it just due to confidence and form improvements? I wish i could just do both at the same time :{ i already lost 7kg last year and want to start getting fit not just watching diet all the time but i guess i deserve it for letting myself get this way in the first place. Thank you again for the answer. to be honest i kind of expected an answer like that but was hoping for somone to tell me its okay, and that i will make it by just being consistent. thank you for the reality check i will aim for ~500 deficit and see how that goes

      The other way around. A trained fighter will always whoop your ass. They don't lift cause it's not necesary, they train their specific art but everything that's done in powerlifting and musclebuilding is not a necesity or even desirable for most martial arts.
      >but meh strong i kill smaller being
      before you start raising your hand to hit me i already knew, cause youre not trained and i am, i knew just how to avoid it. And then you're not trained to handle a punch to the face, it's not really somethjing you can handle but if youre not used to it youll be most likely instantly incapacitated or if not then incapacitated for just a few seconds, thats all i need for a few more blows that will further increase that sensation. It would be over in seconds, the whole club laughing at you and all the other "strong" guys with brains thanking heaven they know that they did not train for fighting and that they should not mess with fighters who train for fighting. This is true of almost every martial art, but some more than others.

      Newbie here, I'm doing a PPL routine and didn't do leg day yesterday since I had an exam and wanted to be well rested (I lift in the wee hours of the morning). This morning, instead of doing just my push routine, I also did my legs to catch up on a lost workout and felt fricking great. My question is this: is it a bad idea to work two different sets of exercises (i.e. Push+Legs, Push+Pull, Pull+Legs) on the same day? The reason why I ask is because I'm aware of overtraining and would rather avoid doing something that would diminish my gains. I'd like to be able to workout everyday, with 3-4 days spent on PPL a week; if I have to take a rest day, I wouldn't mind, though.

      Pretty much what

    Im on acutane and my dermatologist is out for a few weeks so I can can't give him a call.

    Is it safe to take whey+creatine while on Acutane? I keep getting mixed answers online because they say that Whey causes acne and that whey protein will also dehydrate the body a bit, which is dangerous since Acutane seriously dries you out.

    For reference, you're not allowed to drink alcohol while on Acutane for the same reasons and the aftermath feels fricking horrible so I definitely don't want to have that from whey shakes.

      it's fine
      t. three cycles of accutane
      >can't drink alcohol
      because the acc is already frying your liver
      >dry skin
      suck it up or use the lotion they give you

        Thank you for the clarification. I'm glad I can use preworkout again.

        >three cycles of accutane
        How does this even happen? Was your acne cystic or something extreme? I'm only 5 months into my first cycle and it's worked wonders for me.

          >How
          cystic acne. junior year 1st dose with surgery to remove them from my face. another round senior year but never finish the meds because I was a piss-ant 18yo
          had a few flare ups but nothing too serious until about ~25. was a navy gay, so healthcare provided laser treatments to deal with scarring and minor flare ups. had a major cystic rupture that prevent duties (was a helo crewchief so I couldn't wear my helmet.) another dosage and final surgery and I've had zero issues since, 31 now. I have itty bitty tiny ones from time to time or in my ear lobes, but I don't have golf balls sticking out of my face anymore

          almost everyone is good with one cycle. I was the like 1% that needed 3, (maybe 2 if I took the meds that time). iirc I was at 80mg at peak dose

    Bros, I keep fasting for 8/16 and am eating under 1000 kcal but I'm not losing weight. What gives?

    I've been stuck here for around 2 weeks. I'm at my lowest weight so far however.

      1st as always: make absoluitely sure you are at a calorie deficit, most people are very good at kidding themselves regarding nutrition, iof you have even the vaguest suspicion you messed up, counting every single calorie for a week is a good measure
      then
      2-3 weeks is a reasonable plateau, keep it up for one week more and see what happens

      that being said 1000 cals is a very big deficit, if its hard for you to mantain it 500 is much more reasonable.

      If you spend 4 weeks at calorie deficit weighing yourself at morning and your weight doesnt change go to a doctor and get your blood tested. Or to a physicist and find out you broke termodynamics

        I've been weighing all my food and I track it with my fitness pal, its been neat to cross reference it with the nutritional facts. I don't think the macro nutritional thing is very accurate but it helps. Thankfully eating at 1000 deficit has been easy.

        I'm on week 2 of plateau, hopefully I see changes this week then.

        • 1 year ago
          Anonymous

          ok, good to know, im just saying because if you eat at such a deficit for a month and see no change, statistically the most overwhelmingly possible scenario is that you screwed up and ate more calories than you think.
          Second option is a (Very) rare medical condition and third option is a new development in the laws of physics.

    Should I switch to Greyskull? The added variety and arm work seems nice (I'm also wondering how one would keep their squats from catching up to their deadlifts if they're squatting every day).

      option a: use audiobooks (the sane non moron solution, but if you're really hell bent on doing this see next options)
      option b: use really big font and use a screen that can be a good distance from the treadmill, use a device which you can easily fit in your hand to scroll, maybe a mouse, or a bluetooth keypad or similar device with custom keys. Sound commands might be feasible but i wouldnt like it.
      option c: sounds like one of the few scenarios in which google glass is desirable
      option d: endure the pain and or acwkwardness because you are so bad at time management you can't set aside 30 minutes of the day to read.

      What do I eat to keep my eyesight good

      eat carrots
      jk, while vitamins present in carrots are needed for eyesight, the idea that eating more will give you better eyesight is a ww2 myth invented by the british to obscure the fact they were beating the germans at night combat by having better radars.

      so for real how to KEEP good eyesight, you have two paths:
      normie regular path: have regular checks, never stay with your eyes focus on a close distance for prolonged periods of time. For example if you have a window near where you work focus on a point at least 10 meters away (the farthest the better) every 15-30 minutes, don't just stay with your eyes glued on the screen 8 hours. Also if you wear glasses wear the apropiate ones. Never look at the sun. try to keep apropiate lighting for each activity, make a habit of not straining your eyes to read in the dark but rahter always try to improve lighting conditions.

      2) theres another path which borders on the conspiracy theory but i've seen some serious doctors say theres at least a bit of merit to it. Go find out about what Aldeous Huxley (same dude who wrote brave new world) had to say about the subject. What he said was something along the lines of "glasses are a scam, all eye problems can be cured with eye excersises".

      so yeah, suit yourself

    Did my first cable lat pulldown today (always used pic related machine before)
    Holy frick I could barely do half the weight I normally do. What gives?

    • 1 year ago

      machine weight is very tricky, never take is as an objective measure and only compare it within the same machine, pulley position and even lubrication can drastically change the actual force youre making, so only compare your gains in one machine with respect to that same machine, and even that is iffy because lubrication can change over time.
      Reason #a million why free weights are always better

        Thanks. I thought the weight distribution would be at least kind of similar or it had to do with needing more stabilization on cables vs fixed pattern on the machine.

          the reason you hate it is precisely why it's good. You hate it becuase you lazy ass (can't blame you i was there) it's definitely more uncomfortable, and as you do it with higher weights it has a risk of injury if you don't do it properly, but if you do it properly you're excersising a lot more muscles, teaching the rest of your body to stabilize itself when you're doing a lot of strength with one muscle group. Basically the more free weights you do the more well rounded your body will be, a lot of small muscles and to a lesser degree tendons joints and bones will get used to reacting to weird angles and it will decrease your chances of injury and make you all around stronger

            rows aren't reall good for training lats though. Cable pulldowns are fine for that imo.
            Best (in terms of compounds) would probably be pull ups or chin ups
            I don't think there really is a freeweight exercise that specifically targets lats (unless you count weighted pullups as "freeweight")

        you didn't lose your nutrients. The body is exceptionally good at getting those, just like a fatman who eats a pizza and then gets diahrrea did not lose his calories and would not be excused to go eat another pizza you did not lose your nutrients. The reason diharrea is liquid is because the body had less time to absorb the water, but the nutrients it most probably got most. Also, tough eating something bad can promote diahrrea, you have to have really epically bad case of it to be shitting what you ate just a while ago. In most cases you are shitting something you ate at least 8 hours ago, most likely longer, up to 5 days.

        So no sweat , improve your diet, you're lacking fiber most likely, take it into apropiate amounts, and also don't do silly shit that upset your stomach, like suddenly eating a lot of irritating foods. apply common sense

    There is no robust, randomized, placebo-controlled trial that shows that any non controlled supplement increases semen volume or any other quality.
    >bro but i did it and it worked
    >i know a guy who said it worked

    doesn't matter it's very easy to believe something false. Even if you know 10 people who report the same effect for a drug as the personal experience and you're one of them, that's not nearly enough evidence to link the drug to that effect, there's just so many other factors that could have influenced. There's a reason epistemology and medical investigation are hard subjects that take real training to understand, which you don't have.

    I got up early this morning and drive out to the mountains and went for a hike. I was out for about 6 hours and did a few peaks but on my way back to the car I was a bit stupid and wasnt really paying attention to my footing and my foot went into a hole and I fell over.
    While I was lying on the ground I was sure I'd fricked my ankle but I stood up and there was no pain or weakness.
    I walked like another 40 minutes back to the car then drove an hour and a half home, had a shower, walked to the supermarket, made dinner and everything.
    Then out of nowhere like 5 hours after the fall my ankle start hurting bad.

    I went to a friends house, took off my shoe and sock and he gave me some difene cream to put on.
    I opened my first beer and we were playing scrabble and I remember feeling a bit dopey and then I start getting pins and needles in my face and sweating like frick. I put my head down in my arms on the table and next thing I knew I woke up on the floor with a cushion under my head surrounded by people.

    I've never passed out before in my 35 years except once in my teens when I smoked a load of weed and I was completely sober this time, had eaten well during the day and was hydrated.

    Should I be worried or just put it down to some random shit like stress?

    I was only out for like 2 minutes but I distinctly remember dreaming and I felt like I'd had an amazing sleep when I came to.

    Stalled on gettiing leaner. Started doing weights instead of calisthenics, and started taking creatine.
    Waist and neck measurements haven't changed but I've gained almost four pounds, I think I look bigger in the mirror but can't tell if I'm just coping. Also, since starting PPL 6x a week (adjustable dumbbells, one hour) I feel like I could sleep 10 hours a night
