/a/ - Animu & Mango

I hope the series slowly turns insane like the manga.

>>937675

>tfw the nsfw of this series is the girls getting plowed by fat guys and not stronk dudes/chicks while playing the rich pianoman song

I prefer biking. Listing doesn't really spark joy for me.

>>937689

>Listing doesn't really spark joy for me.

Shoo shoo shipslut.

>>937676

>Not going past parallel

Not gonna make it brah.

Memes aside it's better than what I remembered from the manga, although it's weird that all of the lifters are build like bodybuilders and not say heavy lifters, olympic lifters, martial arts etc. The difference on all those physics would been a neat detail.

>>937692

It's probably easier to copy+paste meatheads of the same build. They are even recognized in the manga and have a vague hierarchy.

Maybe I'm the faggot here, but I really missed some warm up before they hit the bench. Of course once you are fit enough you can just do some bench presses with the rod to warm up your muscles, but the gyaru was certainly not on that level.

>>937668

>>937676

I wouldn't mind fugging that 35% fat. Especially those thighs.

Hope all you anons took advantage of that amazon powerblocks sale. Just in time to get swole while you get swole.

NO HUMANITY

>>937712

I know the season just started, but this is already contender for best OP of the season.

>>937724

I'm sure there are other examples of swinging hips, Urara comes to mind first.

>>937716

I don't even know what a powerblock is.

>>937786

You are talking outta your ass. R-right?

>>937786

Netflix should hire Doga kobo.

>>937689

Finally I can stop being polite.

CARDIOFAG BTFO

Should be an interesting watch. The trainer looks hilariously photoshopped and its great. I think visible muscles are gross

>>937804

Do you mean the striations? Yeah, it's kinda weird, it means the skin is right on the muscle fibre instead of having some ATP energy stores on the muscles, it basically gives you an hungry depleted look that for some reason people want.

Now this is anonymous so I guess I can admit, but I take creatine and it helps me get more ATP in store.

Stay safe.

>>937808

>striations

Those are beyond creepy looking. I mean just seeing the shape of the muscle on the skin. The girls so far look fine but the trainer guy and background meatheads look gross.

>>937775

What if they're using the good girl bad girl machine?

>>937697

Don't worry, there'll be an episode about it.

>>937805

>Unspoilered muscle loli

>Spoilered piano-man

What is the meaning behind such actions?

>>937730

>>938045

Theres a whole world of this stuff it sounds like both of you haven't even seen. Hip closeups have been around for a long time. Even Precure has them.

>>938096

Where's the anime OP hip shaking compilation webm?

>>938061

He has left humanity behind and went on an isekai adventure, I think he qualifies as 2D at this point.

>>938064

It's really fun to snap the next load in and go right into your next set of shrugs or farmer walks.

>>938130

The Japanese text just says "sausage bread". Pretty sure it could mean any combination of sausage and pastry.

>>938132

>>938130

It just looks like a hotdog to me.

>>938130

More importantly how dense is that sauce? That shit should be smearing like like a fecal remains of a fatty's zero-percent fibre deucebombs over the inside of the wrapper.

>>937811

I miss when /fit/ wasn't a shithole full of literal farthuffers.

>23:50

Zero seconds in and I already love it. I was worried it'd be another shorts series.

>>938204

>dungeon nursery is cancelled

It still hurts.

>>938204

And now I feel sad that Hoiko is cancelled. Thanks, Anon.

Jerk.

>>938204

God I hope you get cancelled.

>>938130

I dropped the manga a while back so I wasn't keen on this but if I'll have to pick the anime up if there are sausage rolls involved.

>>938719

In doujin world all gyarus are pure therefore only vanilla ankward intercourse with Machio where he admits he doesn't care if she's 35% body fat but he cares that she continues going to the gym.

>>938833

Or girls would fight for the protein in the semen.

>>938930

I appreciate you sacrificing 130 yen to enlighten us. RIP the katsu sando you could have bought instead.

>>938930

There must be some wicked preservatives in there to keep that thing edible for a few days at room temperature.

>>938930

Holy shit, I dunno how that Chinese made abomination is even possible if it's not refrigerated.

>>938930

>still good at room temp

>lasts for days

>not canned

Gas station tier food right there.

>>938930

>Choriz[o]

Wait, so that thing isn't just "it's edible, don't ask questions", but is actually purporting to be a real sausage?

>>938930

I am both intrigued and disgusted.

If I get more gains, does that mean I will have anime girls lusting over me? This is a very important question.

>>939116

No, because anime girls aren't real sadly.

>>939140

>what's inside that sausage

Some ultra preserved meat, similar to spam or corned beef?

>>938955

>Chorizo

That is a type of sausage

>>939151

That's the point. It's claiming to be a real enough meat product that it meets the definition of a specific variety of proper sausage, despite just being a tube of mystery meat.

I tried lifting for the first time yesterday because of this and now I can't even get off the bed because everything hurts. Please send help.

>>939196

Been there. Should've started with cardio.

>>939196

It's OK. I am so fat, that being unable to get off the bed is normal for me. Have to keep that otaku image, you know.

>>939196

It's common for newfags. Your muscles are so weak and unused that it's very little effort to push them to their maximum limit (you keep doing sets to failure, which you shouldn't be doing anyway) without getting really exhausted or tired. But then the DOMS hits you like a truck the next day or day after.

It will go away and won't ever return so long as you make certain to lift regularly, at least the standard 3x a week for an hour (a bit less for a noob). If you're ever going to work out muscles you haven't worked for a long time, keep the exercise light. You'll still get some DOMS even though the workout felt like super easy shit, but that's why new lifters get killer DOMS after the first workout or two. Then the next time you work that muscle group you can do whatever.

>>939180

That looks different from chorizo here in Spain. I'm Torposting but this is what we usually refer to as chorizo:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/46/Chorizo_-_Robin.jpg

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/17/Chorizo1-edited.jpg

You can also see it reads チョリソーソーセージ (chorizo sausage), and from the looks of >>938930 and >>939140 it looks like a regular sausage.

Now that I'm going through the first episode I'm a little disappointed I haven't seen maximum /fit/ autism about form here yet so I suppose I'll dump mine.

>bench press

I was hoping they'd point out all the important bits of form on this one because too many people assume there's nothing to it, and wind up fucking up their rotator cuffs. They did a good job but missed the single most important part, which is to lower the bar almost to your chest (they didn't do that) and to keep your arms at a 45 degree angle. Too many beginners flare their elbows/arms out and have their arms at a 70-80 degree angle which fucks up their shoulders later on. That's the single biggest thing about the bench and they missed it. At least they got scapular retraction...go fucking figure.

>squats

There's like thirty billion different things to mention about form with squats and I won't bother. But other anons have mentioned that in this episode the squats depicted were wrong because 1) you're not trying to get parallel to the floor, you need to go a bit below that, otherwise the bones of your upper leg are not actually parallel to the ground, and 2) her feet were way too far in front, not underneath her. She would have fallen backwards on try 1. They have more tips for squat form after the ED, but she still has her feet way too far out.

>other stuff

They mentioned eating being the most important part of building muscle, so that was good. Hopefully they mention soon that you can't spot-reduce fat. They mentioned new lifters getting super sore because they overdo it on day 1, so that's right. They keep showing all these muscular guys as bodybuilders rather than a more realistic portrayal; that kind of huge muscle + low BFP combo is usually only done with gear and/or test. They don't really portray natty lifters at all, it's either "normal dude" or "roided gorilla." They mentioned not to skip leg day, too, so big props for that. Even calling out chickenmode was a great plus.

All in all, if this ep was any indication, I expect there to be some inaccuracies and omissions, but it clearly shows they're at least trying to get their facts right, the effort is there.

>>939245

I'm up to date with the manga, so my opinion is: have fun with the series, and it's good for inspiration to start lifting. It's not a /fit/ autism series.

>>939196

If you're fat, don't go running. Do something that's easy on the knees/ankles until you strengthen yourself through squats.

>>939247

I don't expect it to be, pretty much nothing made in the past decade is really an X autism series (maybe the one about Go, though). I agree it's great for a starting motivation, I just hope that the people whom it motivates take the common sense tack that they should probably do some background research and not just charge blindly into the gym.

Picking it apart is still an entertaining effort though, it's never bad to refresh the proper aspects of form.

>>939258

That's breddy solid advice m8. Right up there with alternating your squats and deads sets on leg day, wearing those high altitude simulation masks, and doing fifty situps a day.

Are deadlifts supposed to be so exhausting? I just did 10 with 40 pounds and I had to sit down for 2 minutes just to get my breath back

>>939309

Deadlifts use most of the muscles in your body so yes they will definitely be exhausting since you probably haven't used everything involved. Though it's normal to wait 3 - 5 minutes between sets. For a lot of people, once they start getting into higher weights a single set will suck up so much oxygen from their body that their vision will begin to blacken. I'm convinced years of deadlifting causes legitimate brain damage, but they are fun so it doesn't matter.

>>939196

How much did you lift? I only do bodyweight and resistance bands and the first day didn't make me very sore. I hope /fit/ does't bully me

>>939329

>They should only be done at the end of your workout, so it doesn't interfere with your other lifts

Doing the main bar lift after your other isolation stuff sounds awful.

>>939332

Your other compound lifts. Beginners don't need to worry about isolation for quite a while, they shouldn't bother. Isolation is for when you have your strength foundation already established, there's a reason you never see isolation movements included in serious lifting programs for beginners (or intermediates either for the most part). The only things they should be doing are the main compounds and then some auxiliary exercises, like pushups, pullups, chinups, etc. etc. The one exception is curls, and that's fine because your biceps have next to nothing to do with deadlifts. You need to learn to walk before you can run, and that's the deal with isolations.

This is turning into /fit/, please stop.

>>939370

>Take that away and all we are left with are lewds

Exactly.

So I've daddy of a demon loli, that dungeon animu with the vampire loli and this to watch. Not a great season, but could be worse.

>>939378

Impressive.

I just signed up for a membership at a local gym.

Wish me luck.

>>939385

You're watching all the wrong things, anon. It's a great season.

>>939353

>The only things they should be doing are the main compounds

What are the main compounds. Asking for a friend.

>>939401

SQ, DL, BP, OP, PU, row, dip.

>>939397

Stay committed and don't hurt yourself the first couple times you go anon.

>>939397

Good luck anon. I just decided to start Keto, just ordered the piss strips things and am gonna stock up on the needed foods tomorrow morning. I've a treadmill, so will start with this and cardio.

Fingers crossed I can be not a fat fuck and you stick with it.

>>939412

FYI the piss strips are a waste of money.

There are multiple types of ketones, and those strips only test for 1 type. Not only that, but the body becomes more efficient as time goes on, only producing the ketones that you need, rather than creating a vast excess, so eventually those strips may deceptively not show anything.

Just stay under the carb limit and you'll know you are in ketosis because you're still alive.

Also don't get too caught up in weight either. A cup of water weighs half a pound, and you should be drinking a lot of water (and electrolytes). If you track your weight multiple times a day, you'll find the line looks like zigzags slowly sloping down. Having your weight bounce up and down 2-5 pounds at a time is perfectly normal.

I was 225 last february 2018 and by september 2018 was 165. All I did was remove carbs and seed oils from my diet. Seems to have completely cured my lifelong depression too (which is actually just a sickness behavior in response to what is usually chronic inflammation, which is why pharmaceuticals don't fucking work or make things worse). Easiest damn thing I ever did.

How do I make my knees not hurt when running or doing squats?

>>937786

Kengan doesn't look that bad.

https://twitter.com/kengankai/status/1147330222796111872

I gotta say the OP and ED are among the best I've seen this year. Mainly the OP. The more I see it the better it is.

Though I am left wondering if "onegai muscle" is literally meant to be taken as "please muscle" or if there's some other context for that word that changes it a bit, or there isn't really a good direct translation. Looking up onegai, apparently "Onegai" comes from the verb "negau" which literally means "to pray to (something)" or "to wish for (something)." So "wishing for muscle" makes more sense if it's being used in this (more archaic? obscure?) way.

>>939457

It's CG bullshit so it's going to look inferior regardless. Houseki No Kuni was the only series that could get away with this because everyone is a fucking living rock

>>939397

>>939412

Remember kids, it's a marathon, not a sprint. Back when P90X was all the rage I saw so many chicks get mega hyped with a fitness bug, kill themselves with exercise for a couple months, and then quit entirely. Fitness is a habit and a lifestyle, progress made with many small steps over a very long distance. It's no big deal if you want to go and take it easy during your workout, so long as you actually work out. Just don't skip any workout days, don't knock yourself out pushing yourself super hard, and take it easy if you're a fatfag until you get into a groove.

Also keep in mind the majority of your calorie control is diet. Exercise helps, but diet is the main determination. If you're really fat, I wouldn't suggest running or squats yet.

>>939412

Be careful with keto, it's not something that you should be doing for the rest of your life.

>>939404

I have no idea what you're saying!

Everyone start a playthrough of Cho Aniki to supplement your need of more Muscle through the week.

By the time this anime is over, we'll be pros at it.

>>939513

>>939487

Yeah, I figured a high fat intake would have some health negatives. I'm hoping to only use it to lose the weight without rebound (apparently weight lose with Keto doesn't slow the metabolism). Last time I almost got /fit/,shit happened and I rebounded hard. Once I'm out of home I'll just only buy healthy stuff and leave my cash card at home whenever I leave the house if my willpower hasn't increased.

>>939516

If you aren't taking pre-workout shakes yet then you could use caffeine tablets to keep your metabolism up.

>>939518

Wait, that's a thing??? I'll look into it, or at the very least if developing a sugar-free coffee addiction will help me. Appreciate the info.

>>939484

>>939423

See, I'm different. I'm not trying to lose weight, I'm trying to gain muscle. I don't need to watch what I eat, I need to eat a fuck load more than I do. I have almost no appetite most of the time and Everytime I try and get /fit/, there's almost no gains no matter what I do. The little bit I get is gone in a week.

Is there any /fit/ secret to eating more?

>>939521

>Is there any /fit/ secret to eating more?

It sucks but you should probably plan out your diet. Chicken, beans, oats, greens, cook your stuff in bulk, and make sure to eat before you're hungry. If you start feeling hungry at any point, you're doing it wrong. Don't do GOMAD though, it's simply too many kcal too fast and you put on more fat than you need to. Keep in mind it's far easier to hit your calorie goal for the day if you can maintain intake throughout the day, rather than all of your food being eaten in 2-3 sittings. Grazing gradually all day long is ideal, and will also prevent the "shit I'm tired" feeling after gorging yourself.

Unless by /fit/ secret you mean general advice about bulking, but I've repeated that shit so many times I'm not retyping it unless you haven't even begun reading the basics.

>>939521

>Is there any /fit/ secret to eating more?

You can forcibly increase the size of your stomach by drinking extremely excessive amounts of water. Naturally if your stomach is bigger than it takes more food before you feel full.

>https://www.foodchallenges.com/tips/how-to-expand-your-stomach-using-water/

There was a time I was drinking a minimum of a gallon daily and the amount of food I wanted to eat at each meal doubled. There were a few times where I drank so much in a day that I threw it up, which consistently happened around 2 gallons each time. I could feel my stomach being pressed apart which was probably what caused vommiting.

>https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318619.php

>you should not drink more than 27-33 ounces (0.8-1.0 liters) of water per hour, on average

Alternatively if you can decrease the size of your stomach by fasting and trying to get most of your water through foods during your occasional meals. Fasting is mostly a meme besides that unless you are specifically trying to avoid diabetes since it's biggest effects are on your insulin levels. Almost all of it's other noted positives happen to be exactly the same as just eating less.

>>939525

No, these are good tips, thanks.

Shit, why is food so expensive?

>>939528

Not sure if that'll help me, but I'll remember that, thanks.

Usually fitness tips are for people trying to lose weight, so thank you for replying to me.

>>939525

Quick question, how do I cook in bulk? This has always baffled me.

>>939535

Roasts, lasagna, full chickens/turkeys, casseroles, crockpot stuff, pressure cooker stuff, rice dishes, curry dishes, any sort of smoking recipe, preserves, drying, and anything intended for large families produce tons of food. If you are a wage slave and can't find time to make stuff like that then set aside one day a week where you make two or three things at once while watching anime during cook times. Throw anything you don't eat into tupperware containers and refrigerate and/or freeze it. If you don't have access to basic cookware then I guess you are fucked.

>>939546

I have a frying pan, a rice cooker, and a pot.

>>939573

>max capacity of rice cooker for grains

>fill pot and make sauce

>fry batches of chicken in the pan while the sauce and grains cook

>mix everything and add strained canned beans

There's your cheapo bulk cooking.

>>939531

Quality food will cost more and take time but is infinitely more worth it in terms of your health.

Learned about the dangers of stretching this episode. Apparently theres a certain pain of being weaker than a 56kg JK that I didn't know existed until now. Is the thing about golden protein time true?

>>939643

Is typical for people to be strong enough to do pullups?

>>939693

>Is typical for people to be strong enough to do pullups?

You should definitely be able to do some. Even a weakass motherfucker like me can do them.

>>939693

If someone is exercising at some level then they should be able to do at least 1 pull-up.

>>939659

I almost threw a towel outta reflex.

>>939693

>Is typical for people to be strong enough to do pullups?

Pullups are tough, but the answer to your question is "it depends." Anyone of average bodyweight for their build or below should be able to do a few sets of several even coming off a sedentary lifestyle. Anyone particularly weak with little to no upper body development (like girls or super underweight men) probably can't do more than 1 or 2 at a time, if any. Nor can really fat people either, they simply weigh far too much for what muscles they have to handle it.

That being said, chinups and assisted pullups are acceptable stopgaps until you've developed the strength necessary to do a few sets of more than 3 or 4.

>Is the thing about golden protein time true?

Personally I can't answer that because I haven't dug into it in a long time, last time I checked was a few years ago and IIRC people were arguing about whether it was bullshit. You'd need to do some digging yourself to determine that unless another /fit/izen can definitively explain whether it's broscience or not. Lyle Macdonald is a guy who knows his shit when it comes to nutrition and the biomechanics of lifting, so his stuff would be a good place to start.

>>939716

Did a light scrape across Lyle's blog by searching for "window," and found the following:

>I should mention that while beneficial, this is not as important as it was once thought. The idea that there is some magic post-workout “window” for eating that closes after some period of time turns out not to be completely accurate (5). At the same time a considerable amount of research shows that post-workout protein helps to improve adaptations; it will rarely hurt to consume at least some nutrients following resistance training.

>However, under certain conditions, it’s clear that post-workout nutrition may be relatively more important. One of these times is during fat loss dieting. Part of the reason that lean body mass (LBM) is lost is due to changes in hormones which negatively impact on skeletal muscle metabolism. Protein synthesis (building muscle) decreases and protein breakdown increase. And the combination of proper resistance training with post-workout protein effectively reverses this (6).

I don't understand squats. I'm doing them wrong or something because it hurts my knees like crazy.

>>939130

>>939116

Even if they were probably not, most women don't give a shit about muscles.

>>939827

>>939827

>I'm doing them wrong or something because it hurts my knees like crazy.

Proper squat form requires three dozen different things to be done right, otherwise all sorts of joints are going to be in pain (knees, wrists, hips rarely, etc.). If your knees hurt, dollars to donuts says the problem is that when you start coming up out of the hole, your knees are tracking inward, and putting a whole lot of undue stress on them from angles not meant to be. When you push up out of the squat, you should be holding your breath at the bottom/slowly releasing it on the way up, keeping your back straight and making sure you're "pushing your knees out."

Just start looking up some things and you'll see what I mean.

>>939827

for edification, the answer to your question is found around 7:30 here >>939833

>>939744

>Protein shakes

It's weird I can eat almost anything but I just can't stomach those things. Protein bars are almost as bad.

Everytime, EVERYTIME I listen to the OP or ED, it's stuck in my head the rest of the fucking week. Please help, this is some kind of sickness, it must be.

>>939927

Maybe your body asking for a visit to the gym?

>>939928

Brotein is faster absorption, in fact you should take it 30 minutes before touching the bar. This way you can have protein in your system yet it's easy and fast to digest so it doesn't interfere with the physical activity.

>>939722

So the character being brown isn't just for show?

While questions are throwing around, are cold showers broscience or actually good for you?

>>939928

You don't need to drink protein shakes or take whey. They're supplementary, if you can obtain the protein requirements you need without them, don't bother using them. They're to assist in hitting your daily goals for protein. So the answer to your question is "not bad at all," especially since those things are meant to be the way you get most of your protein anyway.

>>939939

It was a joke.

It's a manga adaptation; of course the casting had nothing to do with character design.

Not all the time, but this time, it's a manga adaptation.

If your body is overheated it can only cool down by slowing down as to produce less heat. A cold shower will give your body a immediate cool down.

>>939948

Cooling down too fast can be bad for you though.

Hibike's VA is pretty buff herself.

>>939949

Not really. The worst that can happen is your veins contracting and giving you a headache.

>>939951

>>939936

>if you can obtain the protein requirements you need without them

A bit of googling showed you should eat about 1 pound of protein rich food like meat per 100 pounds of body weight. Does that sound about right or are there better resources?

>>939995

0.75 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight per day

>>939995

>>939999

Conventional /fit/ recommendation is to consume 1g of protein per 1 pound body mass for each day and to recalculate every few weeks. You'll need to look at the nutrient proportions of your food, and for raw things you'll need to look up the stats from the USDA or whatever.

>>940011

>He can't recruit his vocal cords

You will never be a shonen protagonist with that attitude.

>>940013

What about Black Cloverman?

>>939995

It's approximately 1-1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight.

>>940010

The conventional /fit/ recommendation is a meme born from failure to convert numbers. The original methodology was 1-1.5 grams per kg of bodyweight. This somehow got misconstrued as "1 gram per pound of what would be your lean 7% bodyfat body mass" which somehow further got misconstrued into the shitty advice that shuts down your kidneys from eating a too protein rich diet known as "1g per 1lb body weight." If you go over it's fine, but your average person only needs roughly 50-100 grams of protein per day unless they're trying to compete at the professional level (in which case they aren't doing nearly enough steroids nor exercises).

>>940011

On the contrary, my best deadlifts involve screaming at the top of my lungs before the blood rushes to my head and makes me almost collapse.

>>940015

Also keep in mind that your body can only process roughly 30-40 grams of protein in a given meal (4-6 hour period), so it's not worth it to eat an entire pound of meat in one sitting- your body shits out the excess protein or converts it into fat.

>>940015

>The conventional /fit/ recommendation is a meme born from failure to convert numbers.

No it's not, son. And I'll throw some sources at you.

Wolfe and Tipton, 2004., arguably one of, if not the, main anchors for this recommendation. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14971434

Take its DOI here [ 10.1080/0264041031000140554 ] and plug that into SciHub to read the study.

Secondly, Lyle Macdonald just made a post about this a month ago, here: https://bodyrecomposition.com/nutrition/protein-requirements-muscle-growth.html/. And when it comes to nutrition and biochem/biomechanics, I'm absolutely taking his word over yours. As he says himself about the study I just linked:

>Getting into recommendations, the paper points out that a daily protein intake of 2.5-3.0 g/kg (1.1-1.4 g/lb) for strength/power athletes is not harmful, may give small but important performance improvements over the long-term, and will more than cover any needs for protein synthesis (it’s conceivable but understudied that anabolic steroids could increase requirements even further). Any excess will simply be oxidized off in the first place; I’d note again that some researchers feel that the end products of AA oxidation may contribute to the overall anabolic drive in the body.

He continues:

<Assuming that it doesn’t prevent sufficient carbohydrate and fat intakes, that level of intake has no downsides and may have long-term benefits (many of which would not show up in short-term studies to begin with). Mind you, this is truly for high-level athletes and wouldn’t really apply for the general recreational trainee or what have you. In that situation, 2.2 g/kg or the standard 1 g/lb is likely to be more than sufficient. Why not give a lower value? Well in practice if the average person shoots for 1 g/lb they will probably fall short to begin with and end up lower than that. Give them 0.8 g/lb (1.6 g/kg) and they will end up even lower and potentially run into problems in terms of sub-optimal protein intakes.

It's like medicine, good protein taste like shit.

>>940015

> that shuts down your kidneys from eating a too protein rich diet known as

The first only happens when your kidneys are already fucked, at which point the list of things not to do becomes very large. The idea that it'll kill a healthy persons kidneys is incorrect.

>your body can only process roughly 30-40 grams of protein in a given meal (4-6 hour period)

As is, this is mistaken.

For real meat, that first 30 grams of protein is prioritized for muscle growth/rebuilding, which is important to understand if you solely want to get huge. The rest is utilized as energy (converted to glucose on demand), utilized wherever else amino acids are needed, and finally stored as fat. This means protein can be loaded up on to fuel a workout later on, like carbs but more slowly available and for a longer period of time.

For liquid whey protein, that shit moves through the digestive system so fast you may only be about to get 25-50% of what you ingest, regardless of amount. Eating solid food prior to the shake or adding enzymes can help this somewhat.

Faggot related, he's not wrong.

>>940041

Does pea protein get treated the same as whey?

>>940067

Now listen to vid related on repeat for the rest of the day.

>>940060

Whey is a scam like most supplements. A literal waste product that is shilled by bodybuilding sites to newbies who gets tricked into chugging supplements and eating too much protein.

>>940035

It's not the taste. I can't keep it down. My stomach starts acting up after I drink it and it usually won't stop until I puked it all out.

>>939951

>>939984

Eh. Seems alright for 3D. At least she keeps herself /fit/ and healthy.

>>940106

>literal masochism

I enjoy the relief that comes from doing a few warm up exercises to get rid of it. Like like drinking cool water after spicy eating spicy food, popping a zit or pulling out a hangnail.

>>940016

You're supposed to do that after the deadlift while flexing in the wall mirror and shouting expletives so everyone in the damn gym looks at you like the alpha madman you are

>>940139

IIRC whey is generally isolated from milk. I'm not sure if there's any lactose in there (there shouldn't be) but I can understand you not being able to handle it. I can drink it fine, but it always feels weird, like it's taking up way too much space in my stomach.

>>940158

Yea its kinda weird. I'm not a machocist in any other way shape or form but I love getting really sore muscles after a workout and just stretching them out the day after all day cuz for some reason the ache is just sadisfying.

>>940086

>signed

>I have smaller arms than Hibiki's seiyu

Help, my kinniku are muscle.

>>940190

>muscle

Oh fuck, I mean sore.

The music in this anime does things to you.

jeeze can we get serious content about weight lifting?

>>940893

Judging from the repertoire of animu I've seen, I'm convinced there are hordes of people in Nipland who subsist solely off convenience store food. Just thinking about it makes me fucking depressed.

>>940903

Convenience store food tastes fucking amazing but is probably the most unhealthy food that is legally available for purchase. It's kind of sad really.

>>939828

30 seconds and the whole time my body is shaking. I dont think the shaking is supposed to happen. Hibiki is strong for her weight to last that long.

>>940946

Holy shit anon, why do you do this?

>>940903

This is what I do.

>>941211

>I mean fuck look at the cosplay collage, that rabbit has jugs two cup sizes larger than sensei normally does

Pads.

>>941370

>You have brought shame to yourself, Anon.

You're right, but I also didn't want to beat a worn drum too much since another anon used the 'weigh' punchline further up. It's also a moot point, because money is tight and fuck if I have the disposable income to drop a few dozen bucks on a bag of whey. I buy oats, beans, brown rice and chicken, that's about the extent of it. Eggs or ground beef, sometimes. And I'm not even bulking with those, I'm more or less running maintenance.

>>941258

I found Hibiki pretty endearing until she "joked" about being a...what, playgirl? Slut's too strong a word maybe, she wants to string guys along and get attention. Attention whore I guess, I'm not convinced she wants to be an actual carousel rider. I still can't tell if that was supposed to be a "haha this is only sorta of a joke" or if she was being totally serious about it in a lighthearted fashion.

>>941524

>I still can't tell if that was supposed to be a "haha this is only sorta of a joke" or if she was being totally serious about it in a lighthearted fashion.

Anon, she's a gyaru. Her dream is to drown in semen.

>>942448

>She is too baka to be able to break any heart.

Shes most likely one of those girls who is gyaru as a phase growing up. That "heart of gold gyaru" character type. If someone genuinely confessed to her she would crumble, accept, and you would be married within 5 years.

>>942740

Depending on how long you've been lifting, this is normal, but it does sound like you aren't getting calories. You can increase your maximum working weight if you do a 10% reset (or maybe 15/20%? it's been a while since I had to look into resets) but that's only going to make you a bit stronger, not necessarily bigger.

>>939827

I feel like I'm comfortable enough with my squat form to say that some level of knee creaking/pain just comes with the territory. With regard to center of balance, going too far forward (on your toes) will cause excessive knee popping, while going too far back (on your heels) will make you fall backwards, but the happy medium for me still has a little knee popping. Don't worry about it unless you feel a sharp pain during or after the lift.

Yoink

Recently got into this, absolutely love it as someone trying to be fit. The thick anime bitches make my day, it comes in all flavours, gyaru, cakes, cosplayers, it has everything.

>>941224

Dunno why but i think Keanu Reeves should be considered, "keeping it /a/" he just has the anime/light novel character vibe from something really classic.

>>942987

Pullups, bent over rows and deadlifts. Lat pulldowns and facepulls if you're a weak faggot.

>>943006

Personally not a fan of bent over rows. No reason to do bent over stuff to train back unless you only have a barbell or something. And remember, when it comes to deadlifting: No straps, no traps.

>>943011

> No reason to do bent over stuff to train back unless you only have a barbell or something

You need to do a pulling back motion in order to train the muscles around your scapula and upper spine. Anything that somewhat resembles both arms trying to start a lawnmower with a ripcord, for example. BOR does that the best, and anon asked for a muscular back. The only other alternative is doing cable pulls, and that's obviously not ideal compared to a free motion barbell compound. If you're not doing either of those exercises, there are muscles you are neglecting on your back.

Why are sumo deadlifts so satisfying?

This week we learned about machines and bodyweight training.

>>944755

The machines part kind of annoyed me. They tried to claim they weren't useless compared to free weights, but didn't have convincing rationale to support that. "They support your main lifts," uh yeah, that's what isolations are for. You don't need machines for those, and they don't allow you to recruit stabilizers. They also make it far easier for a certain amount of weight, so you can't go by that value to determine your actual strength.

Finally, unless you're someone training for size who already has their strength base established, trying to "shore up" a single muscle in the group of them that you use, by "taking pressure off" the others, is fucking pointless. You perform lifts by using a bunch of different muscles, you're only as strong as all those muscles used together at once. Imagine you use a machine to strengthen one muscle in a group you use to lift, that's not going to help that lift, because now your limiting factor are all the other muscles that need to be used for it. And you have a single muscle that is stronger than it "needs" to be, and it won't be getting used to its max when you go to perform that lift, because it's overtaken the other muscles.

Where can I sign up for her course? Do I get to lick her abs?

>>944876

I hear you need bet both sisters in a boxer fight.

>>944878

Just letting her beat the shit out of me would be more than worth it.

>>944879

Are you into femdom?

>>944880

I would be for her.

>>944882

Remember, strong girls like stronger men.

I like to do crunches and sideplanks while I watch anime, since it's more effective to use your time watching anime effectively and actively improve yourself while watching it. Since you can't learn nip while watching anime, it's better to do excercises so that you are healthy for your waifu.

I masturbate with my right hand and fap with my left hand while I watch anime, since it's more effective to use your time watching anime effectively and actively improve yourself while watching it.

Looking forward to it.

I can't get a boner from this anime. The macho part is too big. That said, I want Akemi is my bed every night. Absolutely stunning girl.

I wonder what kind song would use to train at 80's.
