How do I get this physique?
>Advice for new runners:
- Build up speed and mileage SLOOOOOWLY (start with 15 minutes, increase mileage at most 10% per week);
- It will feel like you're going slow, you are; don't worry about setting good times for a couple of months;
- If you start to feel pain anywhere, stop and rest;
- Don't try to copy what pros are doing. Do what feels natural; and
- Once you can comfortably roon 6 miles/10km, start thinking about a goal in terms of race distance and time, and look for a training plan for that goal (see below for suggested plans).

Previous: >>76310761 Hugely popular ROIDqueen Vladislava Galagan MOGGED in 20 kg (45 pound) dumbell shoulder press by random local Maltese 5'1 manlet WTF!?!?!?
She struggles to achieve a record of 27 reps despite having trained her whole adult life and having cycled countless doses of roids for nearly a decade.
Some fat nobody midget who has only ever worked out with a fork gets 25 reps and then some average guy smokes her record easily
Is there something i'm missing?!?!?!?!?! Or is she just aesthetic and functionally weak
starts at 3:00
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kggvuuJknvc i got these chinese plasters do they actually work or are they just making my elbow and shoulder itch like a motherfucker for no reason This would be considered anorexic nowadays >hey you look strong can you help me.....
No. No i can't. I lift for myself. My gains are mine and mine only. I know most of you guys live in Europe or major cities on the coasts, but you need to take a walk downtown in a Midwestern city, go to a walmart in a smaller (around 100k people) town, and just see how FAT most people are. It's like the "average" person is overweight even if they're working out and there are just so many disgusting fat slobs around it's crazy.
This is why I don't get the skeletor dudes whining cause they can get bitches just off not being a fat fuck. When I hear how a third of men aren't beating cheeks I believe it cause most of them don't look it. Reminder: if you're weak and pathetic, no one will respect you, and you will deserve it. >not doing cardio
>Not being able to last long in bed because you're out of shape
>get surprised when she cheats on you
That's why I don't get why you tards only focus on lifting and not putting in work doing cardio. Same with abs, fucking HARD requires a really strong core which is why women get wet at abs.
Basically, this is why the skinny dyel gets more bitches than you fat fucks! how fucked am i? lost over 200pounds, had skin removal surgery (ugly ass scar from one hip to another) and im full of stretch-marks and shit. i feel like ppl IRL hugbox me. im 183cm (6ft) and weigh around 62kg's (136pounds)
also yes im hospitalized cause reasons. lets not get into it, lol 2 plate bench & 3 plate deadlifts no straps = super saiyan 1
3 plate bench & 4 plate deadlift no straps = super saiyan god
4 plate bench 5 plate deadlift no straps = super saiyan blue
5 plate bench 6plate deadlift no straps = Mastered Autonomous Ultra Instinct >Doing cycles of test/tren
>Primo and var are what actually makes you look aesthetic.
Don't need to add 20-30 lbs of muscle to your frame, just add 5-10 lbs of lean, high quality muscle that sticks around after you cycle off so you actually look good.
>b-but it's expensive
Of course it is, it's actually effective and makes you look sexy. Theres a reason the bloatlord drugs like Dibal are so cheap. 5 x 5 is okay but I didn’t start growing until I was doing 6 x 6 The pencil neck question. You do have capped traps right, anon? You didn't spend all these years lifting just to be a frail ass pencil neck?
STOP PLAYING VIDEO GAMES - They’re like a drug, like smoking or alcohol. they’re addictive when you play them, but once you quit them for a month you’ll question why you wasted your adulthood on them in the first place. Video games are a children’s pastime, one they should be playing alongside their friends from school, but not by themselves alone in their room. A man’s pastime should be working towards something, whether that’s practicing for a marathon, building a playground for your kids, doing maintenance around the house, or saving up to buy a fun sports toy like a jet ski or a motorcycle. As a man you really shouldn’t be playing video games. The coping excuses I see from full grown men to justify their addiction to games is the same as a alcoholic or chain smoker justifying their addiction: “life is boring, I need to relax and unwind after work” “it makes me happy”. Bro, you are an addict. I guarantee every single person here who plays games could be doing something far more productive with their time and be much happier in the long haul. But I get it, you dumped $500+ games + tax + a pro controller on a switch 2, you dished out hundreds so you feel like you have to commit to playing it, I mean, the new DK game is coming out and you HAVE to play it, right? Right? That’s an ADDICTION you have, and you are mentally stunted in a childish mindset. I have 13 year old family members who would cringe at your man child asses for playing video games still. Even the teens in my family are growing out of games and realizing there’s better things to do with your time. I’m telling you, quit playing games, sell them all and buy a mountain bike or something else. Give up the gaming life style and pursue other interests. I know gaming is all some of you people know, but it’s not too late to start over with a new hobby. When did you realize CICO was a meme? What pulling sumo does for you.

Maybe not Cali but im definetly moving next to a beach. Its either skin cancer or i will never fulfill my biological imperative.. There is no point in having a 6 pack if u live inland. It a liability even beacuse it will make u look dyel in shirts. If u aren't on roids bascially working out women help u get women when u are inland, if u are next to a beach u can even do nothing but basic calisthenics and u will have a plethora of women to choose from.. Why do DYELs and Redditors always insist on deadlifting when there's no real benefit for people who aren't training for powerlifting competitions?

Why, anons? Since you got fit, have you noticed antagonistic behaviour from other males towards you?
For me it's either out of shape middle aged dudes who are passive agressive about it and make jokes when there's other women around about my muscles

> on dress down Friday : I see you be put a t-shirt today anon, do you want to show off?Aren't you cold?

Or it's young single lads that are really competitive (I'm married I'm not in the competition) and act very aggressively towards me, stretching out their back when crossing path, flaring pecs, trying to act cool. They really seethe when I ask them to do a task for me, I can see it physically.
What about you? Share your stories and experience >5'9
>bench 1RM probably 231lbs, working weight is 213lbs
>underhand row is 209lbs
Will I look pretty good if after a cut with these numbers? I am no where near close to being overweight but no veins at the moment, jawline present but not sharp, etc. I estimate 6-8 weeks of strict cutting and cardio every single day (12kg minimum) should do it in terms of getting the water and fat out of me. How do I get the real nigga build? I took up jogging 2 weeks ago and I am absolutely fucking addicted to the noob gains.
Two weeks ago I got chest pain after sprinting thirty yards. I would keel over in exhaustion at a quarter mile.
Today I just ran 2.5 miles before breakfast without running out of energy, and I only stopped because I was going to be late to work if I kept it up.
I know this is just noob gains and I will hit a wall soon, but how will I keep motivated when that happens? I know enough about myself to know I will feel like shit when I stop seeing immediate results. >programming advice?

>Rodents have long been the preferred species of lab animals in biomedical research, with sporadic experiments on common brown rats stemming back 150 years. Though laboratory animal research continues to pose ethical questions, particularly with respect to animal welfare, the scientific achievements linked to lab rats are innumerous. This primarily relates to the extraordinary anatomical, genetic, and physiological similarities between humans and rodents.
https://www.kentscientific.com/blog/why-rats-used-research/
the results shown in rat testing suggest the need for human clinical trials. it should be highly concerning that preliminary trials show a large incidence and 25% shrinkage of penile tissue.
it's very well medically established that finasteride reduces the size of the prostate, which is also male reproductive tissue by 20%.
it's also very well established that penile tissue in humans is responsive to dht.
rodent studies are showing penile tissue (the same kind as prostate tissue) shrinks by roughly the same amount.
this is highly concerning. Can the average woman achieve these results natty? What made you finally decide to hit the gym? How big is too big for a girl?

Your routine is going to revolve around FOUR (4) excercises
Squats, Pushup, Neck Bridges, and Reverse Pushups
Reverse pushup are performed by laying on your back and using your elbows to push your self up; this works the pulling muscles of the back.
Neck bridges are performed by strating from a lying position and then walking your feet back toward your head until your body is forming a bridge
While lying on your back you can instead bridge from your shoulders if you're not strong enough
This exercise trains the entire posterior chain:
Pushups are PROPERLY perfromed while having your hands LOWER than your shoulders reletive to your orientation.
Squats are properly performed by pushing your hips BACKWARD as you lower your body
>sets/reps/frequency?
Squats: As many as posible/ As much as posible/ As often as possible
Pushups: As many as posible/ As much as posible/ As often as possible
Reverse Pushups: As many as posible/ As much as posible/ As often as possible
Bridges: As many as posible/ As much as posible/ As often as possible

I'm going to start a 10 week cut. I heard that the larger the deficit, the shorter the cut should last. For 10 weeks, what's the most I could cut a day without risking muscle loss and other adverse health complications? I'm thinking of shooting for 1000 cals a day to lose about 2 kilos a week with a high protein diet and light weightlifting as to not allow the muscles to atrophy. What’s a good calisthenics core routine I can do in my pretty sparse home gym? accidentally the entire tub of cotton cheese again... how the fuck do i get horse legs like this, as a man?

I've trained myself to be able to do NoFap for a month straight on demand. f21 overweight lazy stoner, never posted here before so sorry for being a newfag.
I lost weight last year just from calorie deficit but have gradually gained it back because I lost commitment and motivation. I went from 146lbs to 120lbs and am now around 135lbs. I am 5'3 1/2.
I will be volunteering at an animal rescue centre in the Amazon Rainforest next August and I want to get strong for it. The work consists of feeding the animals, carrying heavy buckets around, repairing the enclosures and building new enrichment toys, visitor signs and some other stuff from Mon-Fri 7-5. So lots of hard labour all day.
I don't want to embarrass myself by being weak and fat and unhelpful, so what exercises and food should I focus on to help me get strong and build endurance? I currently own a step machine and some small weights. I am not too concerned over building muscle or losing weight, just strength.
I am vegetarian though b4 people tell me to go carnivore (don't bully me please). Reminder that if you can do even one pull-up, you are incredibly fit by normie standards.

I average 12-15k steps per day already
Mentally and physically, I'm at my limit here. so week 2 of gym and I did in fact hurt myself. Fucked up my lower back doing deadlifts and/or squat. I practiced the first week with low weight and felt fine and then increased the weight a few days ago and went to near failure and the day after lower back pain. I was just standing in front of the mirror doing a form check and I think I found something. My back is very concave, probably more than average. I think in an effort to not bend forwards I bent the opposite way too much. So I think I need to actually bend forward a bit to prevent arching into a C shape when the weight is heavy.

What the hell /fit/
Alright, it's that time. Been lifting for about a year. Did sports with coaches for years before, but never really had a gym coach. Anyway, for any type of research, I like searching online, reading comments, but sometiems videos for working out do help.
A few months ago I came across someone named Scott Herman. He had videos that were short but detailed, right to the point, all under like 3 minutes, and seemed like they were made before video length was a monetization thing on youtube (like 15 years ago). So I looked up for how to properly do facepulls, as I have been using some of his other vids.
Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rep-qVOkqgk
Doesn't look like a facepull at all, so I went straight to the comments, and everyone is saying things like "good way to tear your rotator cuff" like wtf and people recommended Athletan-X instead? man idk I just want to know how to do something, it's crazy because his other videos looked so legit but then him being wrong on this one is just crazy and now I don't know what to think.
here's an example of one of Scott Herman's videos that made me think he was legit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-LAMcpzODU
tl;dr I was looking at YT videos for some exercises, liked ones by Scott Herman, but then one of his videos is bunk so now I need to find a new YTer, and Athletan-X seems ok but idk. thanks cant OHP 30kg (I literally cant lift tthe fucking bar up)
cant do a single pull up (wont even go half way)
cant row for shit (my elbow/arm just stop working after 6 reps)
cant run for shit without feling like throwing up (170bpm all the time)
cant stop looknig like a fucking jobless incel

I fucking hate having shit tier genetics. I used to work a warehouse job where I walked 10+ miles a day, and it was easy mode for staying lean. I've got a better job now but miss the side benefit of burning so many calories.
I'm looking to get into rucking a few times a week to simulate the effect since there isn't enough time for me to simply walk that much every day now. Assuming this will work, how should I start and what kind of basic equipment is best to get started with? Weights in a backpack seems the obvious answer, but I see vests etc out there too and I'm not sure which way to go. Obesity is finally going down because of Ozempic I'm tired of thinking about food. I got too much stuff going on to think about food.
What is the best cheap, vaguely high protein, vaguely palatable food I can buy in bulk every week and just eat for every meal. If it can be altered or improved by adding different fresh fruits or veggies, that's fine. But I wan the main thing, the carbs+protein or whatever, to be solved. I don't want to have to think about food for the next 18 months >pic related. Lifting for 4 ‘months with good diet
>feeling good and healthy like this.
Would you care more about aesthetics than lifting and diet to feel healthy? What’s the goal one should aim for, looking cut or being sustainable? >ankles crack when doing a calf raise
