                No, but there are plenty of good machines, cables are good too. If you start to stall on a barbell or db lift, doing a similar motion on a machine/cable and progressing on that for a bit will help with the original lifts you were doing

          Just came back to the gym and had been avoiding anything with legs besides sprinting stairs for years since the covid shut down.
          Tall so squats are a PITA and went for hack squats but noticing that the numbers for my components on machines (quad raise, hamstring curl, glute kick) are going up but struggling to keep legs still on the hack squat.
          Doing hacks because tom platz liked em but I'm starting to see why he was so big on squats themselves.
          Was thinking of just doing a shit ton of hexbar DLs or maybe goblet squats while having some plates under my heels so I can reach depth.

        No, there's diminishing marginal returns with gains but greatly increased risk of side effects. 800 mg test a week doesn't produce 2x the gains of 400 mg, but it does double the risk of side effects. If you need to be the biggest dude ever, fine, but if you just want to be juicy, go low

    Most men (including anons here) lift for women but don't want to admit it because it's not as cool as lifting for self-improvement/strength/fun/etc.

      I lift because my father is aging rapidly. He's very typically masculine, respected by many and a huge number of women and men are reliant on him. In his prime, he was strong and built. Still is for his age.
      I realized that I'll probably never live up to his image. I'm a NEET and a loser and a virgin. I can feel people cringe when they find out I'm his son. Maybe even question if I really am.
      I might not be able to reach his level on a mental and social plain. But by God, I will carry on his torch in terms of physique and strength. It's the least I can do.

      Kinda patterned my last year off of this generally. Stopped chasing gainz once I reached a nice level of muscle for my frame. Stopped trying to pinpoint 1700-1800 cals per day with 180g protein and nothing but chicken breast, ground meat, rice, sweet potatoes, and veggies. Started doing more HIIT cardio sessions. Use kettlebells for functional strength and stability. More rest days with just active recovery exercises and walking. Just generally stopped my obsession with being a natty gainz goblin.

    You need more exposure to sunlight and fresh air. You should be doing more PT outside.
    You should be running.
    You would be happier, healthier, more socially adjusted and more fit if you did some kind of sport; team, fighting, outdoor adventure, etc. All are good.
    You should prioritize getting any supplements you think you need through a healthy diet. Pills are the last resort.
    Most of your mental illness comes from being isolated, online and indoors too much.
    You should prioritize positive thinking and actions; treat negative thoughts as parasites you immediately reject and remove.

      Same with refined carbs. They're not going to kill you on their own. But the preparation of them and particularly the combination of refined carbs deep fried in seed oils that have been heat cycled for a week in a dirty deep fryer is probably a lead cause of gut and colon cancers.

    its easier for a fat person to spend all of their time in the gym than it is for them to reduce or change their diet even a little bit.
    once someone is in that mode of working out extremely hard as much as possible then it will become much easier to work on the diet.

    also its better for the extremely obese to do only weights than it is to do only cardio.

    Most people would be better off just joining a gym that does classes. I say it because from personal experience switching to a gym that only does classes made it much easier for me to be consistent with actually exercising. having to find or come up with a workout routine setting up a spreadsheet or an app to track all of it is boring as frick and demoralizing and makes working out a tedious chore. When I go to a class there's no waiting around for equipment I don't have to track anything I'd simply show up do the exercise the trainer says to do, and go home.

    Lifting should take no more than 10% of your total workout if you lift to fight.

    It is far harder to lose fat than it is to gain muscle and fat loss is still very easy.
    Anyone can shred up and lose fat very fast by simply walking and not eating like a moron. Eat maintenance and go on daily walks increase how far you walk. That’s it. The hardest part of fat loss is the mental aspect and consistency while not immediately seeing results.
    If you struggle to eat enough you’re simply not training hard enough. If you train hard enough you will be a bottomless pit.

        Of course there is, but I'm saying the people complaining they can't gain weight are just whining because they don't want to put the work in. They don't want to count calories and weigh portions. Gaining weight is fricking easy, especially with how cheap and accessible food as gotten in the last century. You can eat literally anything you want on a bulk. Sweets? Go for it. Bread? Of course. High-calorie beverages? Without a doubt. Heavy pasta meals with cream sauces? One of the best.

        On the other hand, you're basically barred from eating tons of stuff on a cut, so you either get to have a tiny portion of something actually delicious and force yourself to not eat any more or eat something less delicious and filling.

        Not everyone trying to lose bf is a fricking whale, once you get below 20% it gets excessively harder to lose weight. It's easy when you're 28%bf because you can cut 1000 calories a day a not be hungry. Now you're 17% and can only cut 600 calories a day at most and are hungry at night, AND it takes longer to lose the weight due to the limits of TDEE. Sure you can do excess cardio but not everyone is capable of it, and even then it's far easier to cut 400 calories out of a diet than run 4 miles every day to burn it off.

        To top it off, if you accidentally overeat by mis-measuring a meal or fail and binge you undo progress completely, you can easily undo a week of progress with a single binge. Unlike bulking where you can just make up for a day by eating extra/less the following day and not have it impact your progress.

    Professional sports as they currently exist are for gays and shouldn't be supported.
    Every person alive should be forced into a routine where they have to lift weights, do cardio and stretch. Doubly so, if someone is only doing one of the three. On top of that it should be mandatory for every person to intellectually grow as well as follow a spiritual practice. Who care's if you're IST, but still a know nothing midwit.
    Steroids and 5+ day per week programs are pushed by hyper competitive men that have nothing else of value going on in their life.

    - Counting calories is a waste of time. Your ancestors didn't do it.
    - Don't train different muscle groups on separate days like PPL. It is better to have a full body workout every time. Example: You do push ups. Then you move on to squats while your arms rest. From squats you do crunches. Then you move to pull ups. Then you do lunges. Then you do diamond pushups, then you do bycicle etc.

        They didn't eat flour soup, and they had a low average age because that was back when children would get strept throat and then die.

          also you sometimes didn't eat because there literally wasn't food. Prior to the industrial revolution food was literally "I need to work to buy food or I die". Free food for the poor didn't exist. The entire reason the States instituted a national school lunch program is because people they drafted for WW2 were malnourished. Food has become so easily obtainable that people now eat far more than they could have even 100 years ago. Different times have different issues.

    Focus on "perfect form" is moronic and often counterproductive for many exercises. Going ass to grass on squats is not necessary, not os locking out shoulders on pull ups. This is even more relevant with any sort of injury to a body part involved in the movement. Not wanting to half rep is understandable and a good instinct, but there's a difference between someone leaving an inch between their cheat and the bar on bench press and someone just racking and tracking the weight. The pull up one bugs me the most though. There is absolutely no benefit to going into a deadhang on the descent, and if you've ever goosed your shoulder you're just aggravating an already delicate joint. Yet some autistic c**ts on here will almost disqualify the movement unless your arms is basically hanging out of the socket

    Women athletes inspire me. To try your hardest and compete to the best of your ability, knowing that you will never be the best in the world and will probably always be beaten easily by 50% of the population with minimal effort, and still charge on. It is inspiring. If people like Haley can wrestle and get beaten up by boys >70% of the time then I can certainly do my workouts and fight through exhaustion to reach my full potential.

    Cheat reps are good as long as you're not putting too much stress on your skeleton or tendons because they're like compound movements. Isolating muscles is only a good idea when those specific muscles are lacking significantly behind everywhere else for some reason, like injury or neglect.

    When you're PRing, one set is enough. People keep doing 5x5 shit as "strength" days (dyel term) and coincidently can never get past a 3pl8 squat. What a novice program should look like is doing 1 set of squat and the rest of their lifts, then pack it up, rest and recover and beat it the next session, which is NEVER the very next day.

    For intermediates, which nobody in this thread is, you do the "volume" (dyel term) shit to accumulate stress for the adaptation. This means you don't have a nice day on those sets, you just do the sets even if you have to take another 5% off. Trying to mix the two together gets you injured. Been there, done that.

    That's how I got my strongest. I've done other shit and they all made me smaller and weaker.

    I'd say the biggest fitness redpill is not everyone responds positively to popular excersizes. I for example can deadlift 3x a week but if I squat with any regularity I wind up with some kind of discomfort. I check my form 100x, took video, lighted weight to 1/3rd of what I'm capable of yet it doesn't treat my body well. I can still squat 405 for a max, just deadlifting 500 lbs makes me feel healthier than squatting. So I just don't do it except with friends.
