#

How to be fit???

wooden aspen
#

workout.

quick jasper

wooden aspen

zinc moss
#

just increase the amount you move and improve your diet you don't need to do that much more if you start from nothing

quick jasper
zinc moss
#

that's a workout then

#

you already are doing work

#

you probably are fit if you can do that

wooden aspen
quick jasper
#

then why am i still fat? disappointment

wooden aspen
#

try to bike faster

wooden aspen
zinc moss
#

diet

quick jasper
zinc moss
#

eat more protein

zinc moss
quick jasper
#

I eat meat (almost) everyday

wooden aspen
#

just cut down ur total daily caloric intake

quick jasper
wooden aspen
#

a general rule of thumb is that if u feel a little hunger everyday ur doing good

#

but not until u are gonna starve

quick jasper
#

the books feel like bricks when i carry em

zinc moss
#

it adds resistance to the biking

wooden aspen
zinc moss
#

true

wooden aspen
#

i mean with school nowadays who doesnt have a fully filled bag

zinc moss
#

I generally just do weights I hate cardio

wooden aspen
#

cardio is important for muscle recovery and work capacity

quick jasper
#

The only workout i can do very well is full squats. I can do like 500 at a time

wooden aspen
#

even if u hate cardio i suggest doing some fast walking for 10mins twice per week

zinc moss
#

I do occasionally definitely not enough

quick jasper
#

Got strong legs epicgamer

wooden aspen
wooden aspen
#

thats why cardio is important even if u r chasing aesthetics/strength

zinc moss
#

used to jump rope in the summer been too cold

wooden aspen
#

light cardio like fast walking on a treadmill

#

its not that bad

zinc moss
#

I got one of those stationary bikes I do occasionally

#

after I workout

wooden aspen
#

that works too but u need to be pushing yourself

#

dont peddle slowly

#

or its of no use

#

personally i prefer a treadmill cuz if i dont push myself ill fall off

zinc moss
#

if I'm going slow I just do it for longer

wooden aspen
#

i'll say 8km/hr with an incline of 10 for 10mins-15mins twice per week is enough to keep ur cardio levels up

#

so it helps to quicken your muscle recovery time

wooden aspen
#

even if u do it longer you wont really be pushing urself

#

unless u do it for hours straight lol

zinc moss
#

I prefer to jumprope for cardio anyway

#

need it to get a little warmer

#

so I can go back to that

wooden aspen
#

yup honestly jumprope would be more effective than peddling at a slow pace

#

increases the heart rate more than peddling slowly does

amber maple
#

How come i only start seeing bulk progress shen its almost time to cut πŸ˜”πŸ˜”

wooden aspen
#

and if your muscle definition is good, it gives an illusion that u're bigger

amber maple
#

I meant that im starting to see muscle + weight gain now in Mid february

#

I have high metabolism

wooden aspen
#

it can be water weight

#

are u on creatine by any chance

#

if uw to measure your bodyweight accurately u should weigh yourself before eating or drinking in the morning after you woke up and emptied your bowels

amber maple
#

No creatine and my scale is broken

wooden aspen
#

that explains why

amber maple
#

But i can tell ive gained some mass

wooden aspen
#

it may or may not be water retention in your muscles

#

but anyways congrats on the gains bro

plucky willow
#

Well yk what

#

Ill make an exception to my gains fr

pearl canopy
#

oh finally a thread for this

plucky willow
#

Irl mitsuri

#

Just sayin

wooden aspen
pearl canopy
#

are 14 inch biceps big?

wooden aspen
#

compared to the average joe who doesnt workout

#

yes

#

but not rlly

#

if 14 inch lean it will look big tho

#

unless ur above 6 foot

pearl canopy
#

im 5'11 working out on and off for a year, body fat around 20%

wooden aspen
#

thats tall

#

14 inch arms wont really look big for u lol

#

but u have the potential to grow bigger arms in terms of absolute size since u're tall

pearl canopy
#

oh ive not measured mine

#

though i think its around that

#

just asking if 14 is big

wooden aspen
#

honestly really depends on height

#

if you are like relaly short 14 inches will look massive

#

cuz your limbs are shorter

#

likewise if you are tall it wont look as big

pearl canopy
#

nah like where is average size and wheres 14 inches

wooden aspen
#

ill say average is like 11 inches

pearl canopy
#

oh

wooden aspen

wooden aspen
ember mauveBOT
#

@pearl canopy has leveled up! (5 ➜ 6)

wooden aspen
#

planks are more of an endurance excercise honestly

zinc moss
#

effective for what

plucky willow
#

I still have baby abs either way so hehe

wooden aspen
#

training ur core

zinc moss
#

endurance is still useful

wooden aspen
#

crunches are better at it

plucky willow
#

Deadbugs are the best ones tho

pearl canopy
wooden aspen
zinc moss
#

I don't train core I'm lazy as shit πŸ’€

wooden aspen
#

/thicken their abdominal muscles

#

plucky willow
wooden aspen
#

plucky willow

wooden aspen
plucky willow
pearl canopy
#

probably 25 - 27

plucky willow
#

Yeah i figured

zinc moss
#

to be fair it's incredibly hard for woman to get to 10%

plucky willow
#

Its hard to tell irl bc im bloated like 24/7

#

I have a medical condition

#

But its getting so much better

#

I think

pearl canopy
wooden aspen
zinc moss
#

also its not very healthy to be 10%

wooden aspen
#

most people cant even get to that point

wooden aspen
#

not sustainable

#

12% is okay tho

zinc moss
#

yeah it's not sustainable for anyone

plucky willow
#

My scale fucked me over >:(

pearl canopy
#

i wanna be at 15 - 20

wooden aspen
#

healthy and lowest you can get would be 14%

plucky willow
#

zinc moss
#

I'm shooting for a solid 20 πŸ’€

wooden aspen
#

wooden aspen
pearl canopy
wooden aspen
plucky willow
#

pearl canopy
#

oh yea thats easily 14-16

#

wooden aspen
#

#

ironically the people with the most visible abs are the weaker ones

pearl canopy
#

ah yes the skinny abs

zinc moss
#

wooden aspen
#

pearl canopy
#

zinc moss
#

wooden aspen
plucky willow
#

So whenever i work out legs they get waayy to big for my liking and id rather my thighs not be that big is there a way to workout legs without makin them too big??

pearl canopy
#

i see

wooden aspen
#

i gotta bulk to 83kg tho

plucky willow
#

I have genes that make me thighs massive

zinc moss
#

arould 150 kg

pearl canopy
#

theres no such thing as way too big

wooden aspen
#

right now im underweight for my height

#

70.2kg bw

pearl canopy
#

oh i see

#

so clean bulk or dirty?

wooden aspen
#

clean lean bulk

#

slowly take my time to reach there

#

im only 16 so i have plenty of time

pearl canopy
#

wooden aspen
#

pearl canopy
#

i wanna cut from march till august

zinc moss
#

my bench and squat are so ass compared to my deadlift πŸ’€

pearl canopy
#

i dont have a goddam squat rack 😭

wooden aspen
zinc moss
#

my squat is definitely a form issue

wooden aspen
pearl canopy
#

oh at my gym i see people wearing a belt for 60 70kgs and its so hilarious

wooden aspen
#

most people will think its either the squat or deadlift but its the bench

#

at least if you do it the powerlifting way

zinc moss
#

my bench is improving my squats kinda fucked

pearl canopy
#

bruh to increase my bench i did so many isolation exercises for my triceps

wooden aspen
#

bench gets affected the most when u gain bw

pearl canopy
#

to stabilize

wooden aspen
#

if you gain bw ur bench increases easily

#

likewise if u cut it decreases badly

zinc moss
#

trying to lose weight at the moment

wooden aspen
#

whats your bodywieght right now

pearl canopy
#

and whats your target

zinc moss
#

bench has improved squat is a stability issue I think

wooden aspen
#

u dont really need to do all those tricep work

#

bench with a higher frequency

pearl canopy
#

i mean, it grew my triceps too so im not complaining

wooden aspen
#

easier to stabilise urself when squatting

zinc moss
#

100 kg rn trying to get to like 85 or some shit

wooden aspen
#

how tall are you

zinc moss
#

not very I'm quite over weight πŸ’€

wooden aspen
#

zinc moss
#

pearl canopy
#

i was gonna make discord mod jokes but i wont

wooden aspen
#

ull be light in no time

zinc moss
wooden aspen
zinc moss
#

pearl canopy
#

sorry i couldnt stop myself

#

im gonna be cursed for a week

wooden aspen
#

discord mods who r trying to lose weight doesnt deserve discord mod jokes

#

🫑

pearl canopy
#

agree

zinc moss
sturdy wave
wooden aspen
#

oh

#

are you wearing a shoe with flat soles

zinc moss
wooden aspen
#

if ur squatting with running shoes than thats probably why you feel like you cant balance properly when squatting

zinc moss
wooden aspen
#

oh

wooden aspen
#

if you are already unhealthy overwieght then nope

sturdy wave
pearl canopy
#

NAHHHHHHH

zinc moss
wooden aspen
pearl canopy
#

youre 12ft?

sturdy wave
#

Is that good?

zinc moss
wooden aspen
#

gain some weight brotha

#

thats kinda unhealthy

pearl canopy
zinc moss
#

kinda bro is a stick

pearl canopy
#

yea its actually unhealthy

wooden aspen
#

even if you are 5'9 and 50kg thats already unhealthy enough

pearl canopy
wooden aspen
#

damn i just looked at his media

zinc moss
#

I need to get back to actually losing weight been eating too much

wooden aspen
#

πŸ’€

#

sometimes diet breaks are good

#

IF u've been cutting for q long and your metabolism adapted to the low caloric intake

#

it resets it to the baseline and u can start cutting again

zinc moss
#

needed a bit just been maintaining really

wooden aspen
#

thats good

pearl canopy
#

whats the best kind of curl

#

i think its preacher curls

wooden aspen
#

as in fall forward

#

if so do some front squats/high bar work

#

its a sign of quad weakness

#

compared to the glutes

zinc moss
#

knee cave in

wooden aspen
#

that can easily be fixed

#

just keep pushing your knees outward when squatting

#

anyways knee cave isnt as dangerous as most people say it is

zinc moss
#

I need to do more volume on a lower weight probably

wooden aspen
#

as long as both your knees cave in symmetrically its safe

#

if its not symmetrical then it is knee valgus

#

which is dangerois

zinc moss
#

it's even

pearl canopy
#

i have cave in too

wooden aspen
wooden aspen
#

as long as you are constantly tryinf to push your knees outwards

zinc moss
#

I'll keep that in mind

#

squats later today I'll do volume today

pearl canopy
#

trying to push my knees outward

wooden aspen
#

i've always been doing it automatically lol

#

ull get used to it

pearl canopy
#

yea yea lmao

amber maple
#

😨

wooden aspen
#

my new knee sleeves arrived yayyy!

ember mauveBOT
#

@wooden aspen has leveled up! (12 ➜ 13)

wooden aspen
#

thats $130 more money spent on powerlifting equipment after spending $400 on the sbd belt and $50 on the sbd competition tee 😭

zinc moss
#

you competing soon?

wooden aspen
#

yup! im planning to compete after 1 or 2 more training macrocycles with my coach.

#

right now i am getting my equipment ready[must make sure it is in the international powerlifting federation(IPF) approved list]

#

only left with a powerlifting singlet as of right now but i will buy that when the date is closer to the powerlifting meet i am competing in

zinc moss
#

sick

wooden aspen
#

i will need to do some more work so that i can beat these numbers for a shot at a place in the podium

#

in the under 18 years old, under74kg bodyweight category

#

right now, my competition standard maxes are a 160kg squat, 110kg bench press, and 190kg deadlift

zinc moss
#

stong as fuck man

wooden aspen
#

thx man but apparently not stong enough to win 1st place as of right now lol

#

but im close and i still have 1 year and 10 months left in that age category

#

the previous year's winners are usually 18 years old so time is what i have rn

zinc moss
#

you'll get there

#

still impressive

#

even if you don't place or win

wooden aspen
#

thanks man

#

if everything goes smoothly(no bad training cycles) then by next year's powerlifting nationals i should be able to have a high chance of winning judging by where i am currently at right now

#

then i can make it to ipf world championships

#

hopefully

#

gotta trust the process πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

zinc moss
#

I wish you luck

wooden aspen
#

thanks m8, really appreciate it!

#

omw to just lift in a commercial gym for like 2-5 years
hit a 250-300kg deadlift
and then smoke a random amateur powerlifting meet

#

wooden aspen
errant nexus
#

probably

wooden aspen
#

which assuming ur in u74 or above

#

u cant eeally smoke a meet

#

cus there will be people pulling higher than 300

#

cus adults competing ukuk

errant nexus
#

then i'll just pull higher than them

#

ez

wooden aspen
#

its not that simple

errant nexus
#

gonna change my legal first name to deadlift
and my last name to specialist

#

frfr

wooden aspen
#

bench>deadlift

#

squats>benxh

#

honestly deadlifts are more of a leverage thing

#

like if you have the right leverages u can just pull more naturally eithout much training

errant nexus
#

i've got pretty good leverages for deadlifting tbh
pulling 150kg conventional while weighing 61kg
and i've been lifting for less than 1.5 years

#

more like 1.2 or 1.3 years
and deadlifting for about half of that

wooden aspen
#

i think thats quite achieveable in that time

#

a 2.45Γ— bw dl

errant nexus
#

by May i'll probably hit 180kg

wooden aspen
#

i know a 2Γ— bw deadlift can be achived in 4-6 months

errant nexus
#

omw to get that 3x bw deadlift

wooden aspen
#

im at 2.71Γ—

#

currently

#

16 years old

#

bench 1.57Γ—

#

squats 2.28Γ—

#

im trying to chip the bench national record for under18 yo under74kg weight class

errant nexus
#

yeah, but you train specifically for just powerlifting
meanwhile i'm training like a degenerate doing both bodybuilding & powerlifting lmfao

wooden aspen
#

but i do bodybuilding as in

#

for the muscle groups involved in sbd

#

technically powerlifting is powerbuilding

errant nexus
wooden aspen
#

just that u dont train stuff that doesnt help to increase your sbd

wooden aspen
#

just not all

#

i think powerbuilding and powerlifting is quite similar

errant nexus
#

regular powerlifting training = train only the shit that helps increase sbd

bodybuilding = train everything & get huge

wooden aspen
#

but people who train bodybuilding are the weaker ones

#

haha

#

big muscles but not capable of producing much force

errant nexus
#

powerlifters when they put a shirt on:

coma build

wooden aspen
#

powerlifters look strong(tho smaller) but their muscles are capable of producing forcem

#

more functional

#

"but whats the point if you dont know how to fight"

#

"big muscles/being strong wont help u win a fight"

#

hahaha

errant nexus
wooden aspen

#

they being insecure about themselves cus they csnt bench 2 plates? or look as big?

errant nexus
wooden aspen
#

πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€

#

honestly i feel like most of those fighters are just people who do it as a hobby

#

and some not even that good in fightinf honestly

errant nexus
#

very likely

wooden aspen
#

πŸ’€

#

usually those are the ones who are insecure

#

not thw good fighters

#

the

#

anyways one day i'm gonna hit the 9 plate deadlift fr

wooden aspen
#

high chance thats unlikely

#

unless u hop on tren

#

thats 380kg

#

and thats aboce the world recors

errant nexus
#

9 plates is 360kg

wooden aspen
#

for the weight class ur most likely best to compete in

#

for ur height

wooden aspen
errant nexus
#

isnt 10 plates 400

#

9 plates 360

wooden aspen
#

no?

errant nexus
#

9x2x20 = 360
9 plates each side
each plate 20kg

#

wait

#

i forgot to include the bar

wooden aspen
#

1 plate - 60kg
2 plate- 100kg
3 plate - 140kg
4 plate - 180kg
5 plate - 220kg
6 plate - 260kg
7 plate - 300kg
8 plate - 340kg
9 plate - 380kg
10 plate - 420kg

#

i think the max u can load on a bar is like 8

errant nexus
#

errant nexus
#

idk if its cheating
but its sumo so its certainly cringe

#

it's like i'm racist but against sumo pullers

wooden aspen
#

#

its not even that bad

#

unless ur really cheating the range of motion by using a bendy kabuki deadlift bar

#

honestly i feel like my sumo and conventional maxes are about the same

#

ngl

errant nexus
#

i have never tried pulling sumo

wooden aspen
#

unpopular opinion: sumo deadlifts are satisfying to watch

#

especially if the lifter locks out at their knees

errant nexus
#

conventional is more fun to watch

wooden aspen
#

more fun to grind

#

idk but sumo looks more "aesthetic" in a way for me

errant nexus
#

idk

wooden aspen
#

but conventional is sorta more satisfying

#

i gotta start taking the bulk more seriously

#

wooden aspen

#

i gotta go 83kg so my height wont be a disadvantage

#

but gotta take it slow cuz idw to put on much fat mass

shit's like getting a bachelors in endocrinology

#

also a suprising amount of people who hop on gear and have no idea what they're doing

#

and then they somehow manage to get gyno while on a moderate testosterone dose & panic because they don't know wtf to do lmao

#

tren is fun
mfs can literally turn gay after taking it lmfao

#

many funny reddit posts about that one

wooden aspen
#

i mean ill never hop on but

#

damn social media is making everybody want to hop on

powerlifting is fun
but bodybuilding is more based

like, powerlifters (at least the drug tested ones) are nerds

wooden aspen
#

i think u are refering to the men in the 59kg weight class

#

cus they are stick skinny and short

errant nexus
#

too science-y, kinda boring

wooden aspen
#

the 74kg+ - 93kg weight class ones look badass

errant nexus
#

powerlifting events too in general
everything's megarefined & looks like a sterile science lab if you know what i mean

wooden aspen
#

some even look like bodybuilders

#

the ones in 105kg and 120kg/120kg+ weight class just looks like gorlock πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€

#

jokes

wooden aspen
#

but some 105kg ones look good cus they are tall

wooden aspen
errant nexus
#

meanwhile bodybuilders like tren twins will go train being obnoxious loud af & say completely out of pocket weird shit

or do other goofy shit

#

different culture & energy

wooden aspen
#

u do know powerlifters shout a lot also

#

especially if a guy is spotting in a combo rack

#

then the spotters will be loud af

#

in training

#

ofc not in actual meets

errant nexus
#

not talking about shouting
more the general energy & culture in the sport vs bodybuilding

wooden aspen
#

the vibe is vv nice

errant nexus
#

more glamour etc in bodybuilding

wooden aspen
#

but being able to bench 2 plates when the bodybuilders in yoru gym cant is a flex

#

gotta admit tho

errant nexus
#

ngl bodybuilders on gear are crazy benchers

wooden aspen
#

keyword roided up

#

nobody really compares roided people to natural guys

#

roided bodybuilders get compared with roided powerlifters

#

not the other way round

tbh i dont see anyone talking about roided powerlifters that often tbh

was ed coan untested

wooden aspen
#

i think he is natty

#

he was a powerlifter long ago man

#

i think untested feds didnt even exist last time

#

but he used to compete in the ipf

#

so he is definitely tested

errant nexus
#

fair enough

wooden aspen
#

at least once

errant nexus
#

this guy weighs like 250lb or so

wooden aspen
#

is he natty

#

im pretty sure someone in ipf benches the same as him

#

with a pause

#

and natty

#

lol

errant nexus
wooden aspen
#

oh

#

then it doesnt count

errant nexus
wooden aspen
#

see this is why people dont usually talk about untested powerlifting

errant nexus
wooden aspen
#

cus not many untested lifters can outperform tested world champions

errant nexus
wooden aspen
#

but honestly without a pause it cant be compared to the ipf ones

#

and ipf benches are done without elbow sleeves

errant nexus
#

bro it's an over 300kg bench regardless

wooden aspen
#

i mean true

#

but natty world champions bench that

#

in the same weight class

errant nexus

whats olivares best bench?

errant nexus
wooden aspen
#

untested

wooden aspen

before

#

i dont think thats his max tho

#

julius maddox used to be natty too

#

not sure whats his max tho

but even before he hopped his numbers were insane

yeah

wooden aspen

errant nexus
#

wooden aspen
#

at least russel he goes live and does yt vids and stufd

#

an actual world champion doing that

#

his personality and vibe is what makes me like him so much

# toxic lotus im looking for cardio

honestly i will suggest a treadmill over a bike cuz the πŸ”‘ to improving cardiovascular fitness is pushing yourself yourself through when it starts to get uncomfortable and tiring(which most people just stop excercising once that happens and rest)

#

with a bike i find that it is easier to just stop peddling once you are tired but when using a treadmill at least the thought of u tipping over if u stop moving will keep u going

#

fast walking/running using a high incline on treadmill is also more effective for working the heart than peddling imo

toxic lotus
#

what about ellipticas

wooden aspen
#

but they work your arms too which is something treadmills dont do

#

if done with resistance and progressive overload they can be good

#

but u still need to push urself manually

#

if ur not the type to slack and rest once it starts to feel uncomfortable then it can be very beneficial

#

if not i will say stick with the treadmill

toxic lotus
wooden aspen
#

go for it

toxic lotus
#

thanks for the suggestion man

errant nexus
#

running for cardio?
nah we lifting heavy shit & carry it around strongman style

wooden aspen
wooden aspen
#

its like comparing apples and oranges

#

i mean best is to have both

#

but having either one(with the other aspect not being horrible) is still better than lazing around at home tho

#

imo too many lifters have bad cardio lol

#

also work capacity SUCKS without a good cardio baseline

#

and u will find urself sore for more days if you have bad cardio health

toxic lotus
#

yeah plus cardio is helpful for sports as well, which i do

wooden aspen
#

exactly

#

not everybody focuses on and trains to lift as many plates as possible in the gym
as in not their main goal

errant nexus
#

yeah ik im just joking

zinc moss
#

how many sets should I be doing for strength work

signal basin
#

cardio? my favorite cardio exercise is bench press

signal basin
wooden aspen
#

then drop the weight down to about 70-75% of the top set's weight and do 3-4 backdown sets for 4-6 reps

wooden aspen
wooden aspen
#

shit aint no cardio lol

unless u do 20+ reps

favorite leg exercise is bicep curl

wooden aspen

yuppp curls in the squat rack

wooden aspen
#

100kg/225lbs Γ— 3 competition bench press with 3 more reps left in the tank

errant nexus
wooden aspen
#

my coach literally prescribed me 3 reps and capped the rpe at 7

i can go all out if i want to but that will be going off-program and affect my recovery while throwing off my training momentum built up over the last 3 weeks

cus 100kg on bench isnt some light weight and the toll it takes on the central nervous system if u take it out to rpe 10 is bigger than say if you're benching only 70kg or even lesser

#

lmao

#

udk what ur talking about m8

wooden aspen
#

rpe is "rate of perceived exertion" and its like the opposite of reps in reserve
rpe 7 means 3 reps left in the tank
rpe 8 means 2 reps left in the tank
rpe 9 means 1 rep left in the tank
rpe 10 means even with a gun pointed to your head you cant do any more reps

its been a week

17m tryna get a glowup, how do i increase my mass while losing fat? I keep getting confused and endup losing muscle while gaining fat

#

All advice is appreciated from hair to gym advice

errant nexus
#

rn you should bulk
since a vast majority of your muscle will be built during a surplus

#

you will put on some fat which is inevitable, and could also impact facial aesthetics

#

as for your face
chewing falim/mastic gum will improve your jawline by building your jaw muscles
though your jaw is pretty good in its current state

your skin looks fine in the pic but you have darker eye area & bags under your eyes
get better at hydration, sleep more (8h minimum), and get vitamin c eye cream

the weakest area is the eye area (though it is decent)
upper eyelid exposure particularly and brow ridge to a lesser extent but there's not much you can do about it

#

also train neck and upper traps
neck extensions and neck curls
and heavy barbell shrugs

errant nexus
# errant nexus rn you should bulk since a vast majority of your muscle will be built during a s...

aim for 200-300 calorie surplus above maintenance for a lean bulk

eat more animal products
and have the majority of your carbs pre and post workout

get in more zinc, magnesium, vitamin K2 and boron (vital for testosterone among other things, most people are not getting enough of these)
ideally you should them from real food but supplements work too
dietary cholesterol & saturated fats is also important for hormone production, make sure to eat plenty of eggs and meat
dont fall for the "fat and cholesterol is bad for you" meme

#

also make sure you get enough sunlight to get vitamin d3 (which is actually a hormone, not a vitamin)

#

antioxidants from shit like blueberries
omega 3 from fish

#

all of this diet shit will also increase your testosterone
sleep is especially important not only for training recovery & building muscle but also for testosterone

dont skip your cardio, do some full on sprinting/HIIT (could do it on an off day when you're not lifting)
increases testosterone
also dont skip legs, training legs increases your testosterone as well as GH by a fuckton (temporarily)

full body workouts are nice too since they result in greatest increase in T as well as HGH (builds muscle via IGF-1 pathway) which is to your advantage since large increase will affect all your muscle groups due to all being trained

signal basin

#

studies have also shown watching aggressive videos temporarily increases your T levels because your brain perceives a threat

go watch some edgy Mike Tyson phonk edits lmfao

yes

Thats interesting

errant nexus
summer violet
#

Imma post my physique too (old picture)

signal basin
errant nexus
#

np bro

#

also
find a way to compete with other men, any kind of competition will do
increases T too
could be as simple as doing 5 reps of bicep curls with a homie, handing him the bar & letting him do 5
then you do 5 more then he goes
repeat

even high level/elite Chess players at tournaments get crazy testosterone increases (albeit temporary) of several hundred percent above baseline (iirc)
not sure if this was free testosterone or total testosterone increase but either way it doesnt matter

bro is lean as fuck
good shit

#

tho you lack upper traps & upper back
and neck
could be improved

summer violet
summer violet
errant nexus
#

i usually do 6 sets
with about 100kg

#

traps like tons of weight considering they're already used to supporting your entire upper body all day long and whatever you hold in your hands

#

same thing with calves
go very heavy to grow calves
since they are used to supporting your entire bodyweight

summer violet
#

I fortunately have good calves, but excercising them doesnt hurt (pun intented)

summer violet
#

Thanks

#

i would also recommend focusing a bit more on triceps since they are what makes up most of your arm, and also train your forearms to match the rest of your arms

currently im trying to hit 200 bench and 300 dl by september im at 155 and 265 any tips?

errant nexus
#

up your technique (bench is actually a very technical lift, theres lots of esoteric technique shit)

errant nexus
#

switch between barbell bench press variations to reduce overall systemic fatigue & prevent overuse
can also use these as tools to improving specific things
larsen press, close grip bench, wide grip bench, tempo bench, spoto press, incline bench, floor press, dead bench from pins, reverse grip bench, etc

#

chase after PRs in all rep ranges not just your 1RM

#

work within all kinds of rep ranges

#

bulk up
body mass makes the biggest difference in the bench

errant nexus
#

go after the training hard
dont lag on sleep or diet

#

also get a big upper back
do your barbell rows, pullups, barbell shrugs, etc

#

also dont forget accessory chest movements
theres a reason why amateur bodybuilders mog the fuck out of amateur powerlifters when it comes to benching

#

need a big chest to push big weights

errant nexus
# errant nexus work within all kinds of rep ranges

i personally fucking love high reps on double pause (one pause on chest and one pause above chest) close grip bench
go for light weight, 60% of your one rep max

then as it gets more difficult/you start nearing failure, you only pause on your chest
then once that gets difficult you remove both pauses and just bench touch and go

burns like fucking crazy in your triceps

#

also dont be afraid to go to failure on bench

spark kindle
#

so if you bench 200 do 202.5 for a week, then the next do 205 and so on and so forth

#

that’s how i went from 75 lbs to 95 in like a month and a half
