anne frank fanfic posted:If you take any supplements ever you're one of the dumbest retards in the world. I guess I'll do whatever a young new soldier thinks is right, that's probably the right thing to do for some reason. Proper supplementation is pretty important to any successful exercise regimen. poo poo like Jack3d or NOXPLODE, isn't necessary at all but it helps when you might not have the desire to lift. Same with cutting supplements and losing weight.

I'd ask in YLLS but I don't feel like being called a retard for not reading a 125 page thread. When I squat, I can't keep my heels on the floor around the point that my thighs are getting parallel to the deck.* I can squat if I put my heels on small weights but I'd like to be flexible enough to not need to do so. I also don't want to buy special shoes in order to squat. What should I do to improve my flexibility? *intentional use of naval terminology

Christoff posted:You should be using the flattest sole possible to squat. I know you guys get all snippy when Vibram elitist act....themselves. But they're really great to squat in. More support is worse for you. I've seen dudes do it barefoot. I'm fully open to the idea that my form sucks dick. I read the YLLS form thread a lot but I guess it's just not clicking for me. I didn't have a problem squatting in high school but I always had a spotter and the weight room had these baller rear end squat bars.  They probably actually suck really bad but I liked them because I could use my hands on the rack to keep my balance while squatting. Maybe my problem is that I don't have a spotter so I'm afraid to lean back too far. Godholio posted:I like all-stars. you would, you gingerfuck

moker posted:it sounds like you lean way too far foreward towards the bottom, it isnt really terrible to use some small plates over your heels tough, works the quads more. it took me a long time and massive amounts of youtube spergin but the thing that finally made squats click for me was being told to break at your hips, not your knees. maybe itll help another goon out there some fateful day~ Yeah, I watch a lot of videos of really buff dudes lifting weights on youtube. I guess I'll keep watching videos and reading the internet until it clicks. I don't know if I get "break at the hips" though. I'm pretty comfortable doing the other 3 compound lifts and leg pressing. Leg presses are cool because you can load up a ton of weight and feel strong/superior to the dudes in the gym who don't do legs. edit: I have no idea what the point of the bar is. I liked it because I didn't have to worry about keeping it on my back so I could use my hands to steady myself. That's probably not the designers intent but whatever. I used it in weightlifting PE a decade ago. vains fucked around with this message at 09:10 on Sep 14, 2012 |

BULLETS CURE ISLAM posted:http://www.youtube.com/user/johnnymnemonic2 This guy's poo poo is pretty good. A lot of videos to watch and words to listen to so I can only watch one or two videos at a time. edit: Almost barfed in the gym doing legs today. My greatest regret was not finishing off with lunges to ensure that I puked. I have scrawny rear end calves but not scrawny thighs. Other than shaving my legs, how do I make my calves not appear so scrawny? I don't want someone to surreptitiously take a picture of my legs and turn them into an image meme. Unrelated; Whenever someone tells me that I look good/big, I always think they're loving with me and I start thinking about how I'm not eating enough or lifting enough or whatever. Body dysmorphia is loving cool. It's also good motivation because anytime I feel too lazy to lift I just start thinking about how small I am.

Cool, well on that note... Is there any reason why you shouldn't only do curls on the preacher pad or that thing that you wear to isolate your arms during standing curls? If isolation is desired while training the bicep muscle(and it is afaik), then why do lifts that don't maximize isolation? Unless you can hold your entire upper body statuesquely still, you're cheating on any standing or sitting curls(or you're working out with pink weights). What is the specific value of sitting/standing curls that you don't get on the preacher pad/that arm isolater thing? edit: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3483424&pagenumber=149#post408436510 lmao vains fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Oct 12, 2012 |

I should have specified 'caloric intake'. I already keep track of my lifts because I'm not some scrub. Keeping track of how many calories you "burn" is retarded. I know that I'm not eating enough. The logical thing seems to be to keep track of how much I eat. To that end, I need a scale, some way to keep track of caloric intake and, most importantly, I need to develop the habit. edit: BMR is a joke.

I'm not a lifting expert but I thought they were more of a triceps exercise. I guess they're kind of like pullovers though. I'm sure this exercise has a name but I don't know what it is. 1- Start laying on a bench or inclined, dumbbells in a normal DB flat press position. Palms facing up/towards your feet 2- Press the dumbbell up while rotating your wrist and bringing the dumbbells together. 3- End with your palms facing each other and the dumbbells touching. I was thinking about doing whatever that is called or or dumbbell squeeze press https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv3dxTXrG-8

I look at routines like Alfalfa's and I wonder if they're objectively better than mine. I would bet so since I don't have a degree in lifting weights but I don't really understand if mine is terrible and, if it is, what an appropriate routine would be. Like, I don't have any frame of reference to judge routines beyond "Is it based on heavy compound movements?" Beyond that, every routine is just a bunch of lifts and numbers that don't have any greater meaning to me. I make gains doing my own thing but the sperg nerd in me wants to min/max my time in the gym. quote:Chest/Tris After writing my entire routine down, the biggest thing that leaps out at me is the amount of cable work I do. Maybe I'm doing too many exercises on some days? Every couple of weeks I'll change a few of the exercises or rep ranges but that's about it.

Martello posted:Are these 4-day a week splits? Like, you do Chest/Tris one day, Back another, and so on? Because I used to do it like that, but 6 days a week (especially in Afghanistan) and I was lifting a lot of loving weight after a month or so. However I also hurt myself a few times, including tearing the labrum in my right shoulder. I don't think I'll ever get past 225 on the bench again because of that, although it won't stop me from trying. Also, I was getting a ton of sleep (staff) and just took a shitton of jack3d and protein every night. I don't think any of that was an especially good idea, and as I get closer to 30 I'm trying to be more careful with my body. All that to say, the 3 day a week Alfalfa's is working really well so I'm gonna keep doing that for a while. Yeah, 4 day splits unless I do shoulders on their own day. Depends on my schedule and how I'm feeling after doing bis/tris. I don't really understand why a 3 day split is desirable beyond rest days and reduced wear/tear. Getting a response in that thread is real hit or miss because the thread moves so fast.
