hi swole thread I don't lift but I should

think I'm gonna start next week but idk what to do

Beginning lifting is very easy just learn how to bench press, deadlift, and do bicep curls and you can pick up new lifts later if you really want but you don't have to because those three are the best. Maybe shoulder press too

Also, big triceps > big biceps, flexed big bis look good but triceps will make your arms look humongous and filled out all the time.

To compare them is meaningless, they are simultaneously the most important members of the glamour muscle group, namaste

I can't do any heavy overhead movements because I hurt something in my shoulder earlier this summer, I wish it would stop bothering me already because I'm certainly not going to see a doctor about it. I'm left trying to work around it with raises and shrugs but it isn't really the same

Can I just run up and down all the stairs in my apartment building for leg day? The last time I did leg day I went over the top and literally could not walk for 3-4 days.

Plus it's hard work and no one be peepin your legs at the club/beach so long as they're not ridiculously tiny compared to your upper body

The first time you do leg day is crippling for days. After like three or four leg days it's just normal soreness like any other workout though so really the trick is to just not skip leg day and then you'll be fine. I'm currently skipping leg day since I'm working on cardio and I don't want to break that routine up yet, but otherwise it's a necessary evil

on a scale of Normal to Extremely Gay what you you think about elliptical machines (not using the hand bars obviously that's extremely gay)

I like to use the elliptical machines because it's way easy to do interval training on them, and also treadmills are dumb garbage for fat people to briskly walk on as far as I'm concerned. Grab on to those hand bars like a big pair of dicks, and enjoy your gay cardio imo

I tried an arc trainer way back when I had a planet fitness membership and I didn't like it at all. I think it turned the resistance up if you went too fast, it was like something out of Harrison Bergeron. Haven't tried one since

Lmao "focus on resting" what.

I use my phone to log my lifts because it isn't 1995 and I don't want to carry around a loving spiral notebook and pen with me.

Phone logging is the best. It takes like two seconds to log a lift, then you can zone out and stare at other dudes till the little rest timer alarm on your app goes off and sets you back to working out like some kind of trained animal

What do you call a deadlift where you lower the weight like an inch off the ground but never really rest it on the floor?

A deadlift? I don't know, that's the way I did/will do them even if the last few posts make it seem as though that's incorrect

When I do it, my lower back gets sore as hell, I think it's because it's tense for the entire duration whereas the other deadlift let's u relax between reps.

maybe I'm used to it, today's my back and shoulder day at the gym maybe I'll try actually putting the barbell on the floor for each rep and see if it feels better that way I'll give an injury report later

Basically the only topic the internet is good at providing actual useful research (without paying shitloads for access to research or things like westlaw/lexus nexus) on is programming and tech stuff.

even then you're bound to run into a bunch of nonsense from someone who can't understand why you'd rather write a two line function in your lovely throwaway code than three pages of boilerplate to conform to whatever coding style they crusade for

My traps are not big at all and I don't dont feel the bar at all, the pad makes literally no sense to me, it just makes the lift more dangerous by putting the bar in a hosed up position.

I don't use the pad for squats since I messed around with where I hold the bar and found a more comfortable position, but even when I did it didn't seem like it messed with the positioning much. It just compresses and distributes the weight over a little larger area, that's all

If it's anything like the planet fitnesses I've used, the weight rack ends at 60 pounds and those squat racks are all Smith machines

I use my android phone for music. They can advance the track and control volume, and I just run the cord under my shirt. Bluetooth seems like more hassle than it's worth

Creatine's possible baldness side effect outweighs any desire to use it for possible slight performance increases. I'll stick to beta alanine, protein, and a handful of vitamins I almost certainly don't need

how many swole rear end gains do I get from drinking beer?

like, can my nerd rear end "carb macro" just be beer?

beer.... is good.

Just get on a cyclical ketosis diet or something where you need to gorge on carbs every weekend, then drink a bunch of beer and eat a whole pizza while you're hungover. It's science
