Who asked you to add flags to a fucking fitness board?

>>150375

Wasn't that the default?

I don't see why people recommend crunches. My doctor friends are strictly against them and claim they fuck up your back since pretty much everyone does them with poor form past a certain point.

>>150376

It was not this way originally.

Recently, I have been chafing my buttocks when doing Roman chair sit-ups. That didn't happen to me before, strangely enough. How can I prevent future chafing? I really would like to take up that exercise again.

>>149694

well,you can do isometrics, abs workout on bars works for me my favorite is windshield wipers and toes to bar oh and leg raises you can add some weight too Don't Forget Cardio it cna help you a litte more if you do it after the abs workout

homosexuality is a mental illness and it seems like you're suffering from it.

A normal man should at all times view homosexuals as sick and disgusting people. Kind of how you would perceive someone sick from the plague.

Furthermore the majority of gays do not have anything good planned for you, if you ever were in their field of influence.

Get those modern beliefs out of your heads.

His homeworkout plans are very effective, but you're both right about his life outside of fitness. The biggest tip-off was his "uncle scooby" videos on things like changing bike tires and whatnot.

>>150459

The biggest problem with him is that in recent years half his videos became clickbait for custommealplanner shilling. It's a good tool and all but damn it got annoying.

Don't be gay, its gay

Roll-outs are pretty brutal. Fun times.

>>150365

Agree that core strength is important to support other types of strength, it's just not going to have immediate/noticeable effects for a beginner, because it doesn't make you sprout abs.

Newbies would be better served by starting a basic lifting plan built around the Big 3 or Big 4, with cardio after to get endurance up and shed fat. No weird accessory work or tai bo crossfit zumba crap that tries to mix cardio and strength.

Bench press day with chest flies, incline press, tricep extensions/pushdowns, etc. Squat day with leg extensions, calf raises, leg presses, etc. Overhead press day with shoulder raises, arnold DB presses, etc. Deadlift day with DB rows, lat pulldowns, shrugs, etc.

3-5 sets of 6-10 reps, big lift first, increase the weight once you're at the upper numbers to force your reps back down. Then hit the treadmill, rowing machine, or bike for a half hour.

>>150363

>>150381

Alternatively you do sprints, standing long jumps, ab roll outs, and gymnastic move progressions.

Overcoming Gravity on libgen.io or gen.lib.rus.ec

>>150391

These may make you more nimble, an increase explosive power of existing muscle, but they aren't going to build new muscle or burn fat. They're better as supplements to a strength/resistance based program, or a long cardio program if you need to lose a good amount of fat.

>>150394

>Not going to burn fat

?

Out of the two, this makes the least sense. I can see there being an argument for an upper limit to how much muscle growth you can get out of it (upper limit keyword), but not burn fat? lol

No one mentioned building muscle to become a mass monster though.

>>150372

>not running

>not working on your core

>not owning resistance bands

>not eating oats, oninons, garlics, buckwheat, nuts, canned stuff

You won't make real gains, but you will maintain a part of your strength and stay somewhat fit. Train your endurance, use this chance, to switch up your classic routine.

Dips, pull ups, and standing push ups will maintain most of your upper body gainz, if you don't already own one, get a pull up and dip bar asap.

>>150372

Thankfully I'm very lucky in that I have some woods behind my house I can sneak into to lift boulders and stuff to fulfill my weights routines. While I don't have a home gym, I do have a treadmill and a few pieces of equipment to do more "serious" calisthenics, so I'll at least have something to do until quarantine is lifted. I'm more pissed that my gym wants to charge me a monthly membership while every facility in the state is closed and is making me use the three-month clause (I can claim up to three months of "hardship" where I don't have to pay but I can't go either) to cover this stupid virus.

>>150372

My gym is also closed I believe. At the moment my plan is to just do light, spaced exercise throughout the day. So every couple hours I'll do an easy set of squats, some pullups and chinups, decline pushups, situps, neck curls. maybe dips as well. and a couple of minutes on the jump rope between working on other things.

I've heard it called "greasing the groover" which to me sounds stupid, but whatever. I'm at home all day so rather than exercising in a single window of time I just plan to do it spaced out.

vitamin c

Don't get it in the first place, vitamin c until overdose, apparently a malaria pill, and surprisingly enough when India got it, someone made a soup that cured it, but it was either fake or so true that the government didn't want it up so the article got scrubbed from the web completely.

No, there isn't a cure yet. This strain is pretty new and they're working on it, but just sitting around eating eggs isn't going to magically cure it. Here's some advice from the virologist who actually demonstrated the number of genes in coronaviruses. I thought his list was more widespread now and that everyone saw it since he got a little pissy about people sharing it so I'll paraphrase; it was originally for his friends and family, then some nurses threw it on social media. It's James Robb MD, if you care. I've added amounts based on my own household usage because apparently people are retarded and think they need 10 cases of hand disinfectant when 1 pump will last them like 2 months if they're not going out multiple times per day. If you don't want to catch it, leave some disinfectant for other people so they can also remove it and slow the spread.

The Virus:

>COVID-19 is a strain of the coronavirus family, which are generally associated with snakes. This is why you don't eat the fuckers in sketchy Chinese restaurants with unknown levels of health maintenance. Whether this particular strain is from snakes this time or not, I dunno. Viruses like to mutate and there's a lot of speculation.

>This is a pneumonia-type deal. The virus only has receptors for lung cells, so if it ONLY gets in your ear you won't get sick. When it comes out is when the problem starts. It needs to get into your respiratory system through your nose or mouth and there's no other known way to get it. Note that your eyes have tear ducts that lead down to your nose too, so quit touching your damn face.

>It spreads everywhere and is very contagious, but doesn't have a high mortality rate for anyone that isn't a boomer or already immunocompromised in some way. The quarantines are mostly to stop it from spreading like AIDS in Africa. Only a small portion of the population are actually at risk from it in any meaningful way.

>It blocks the lungs with mucus that hardens up and makes it so you can't breathe. Healthy individuals usually don't have much of an issue clearing their airways, but old boomers do. The doctors working on it have recommended drinking only warm things if you think you have it to help break things up, avoid drinking cold Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Prevention:

>Wear disposable gloves wherever/whenever you can in public venues. Non-disposable also work, just make sure you clean them ASAP with a good detergent or soak them in some disinfectant, but this should only be something to do if you can't get ahold of some latex or nitrile latex gloves.

>Don't shake hands. Avoid open hand contact as much as possible, using your fist or knuckle only for buttons and switches. Same with opening doors unless there's no other way to open it.

>Don't fucking touch your face if you've touched public stuff. The holes in your face are the main places it gets in. Wear a mask or scarf if you have to to block your fingers.

>Use disinfectant wipes on fucking everything. Take advantage of any being offered in stores for public use to wipe stuff down on the spot. Hands, handles, shopping cart handles and seats. Don't take more than what you need so other people can do the same and not spread it to you.

>Same with hand sanitizer. Make sure it's 60% alcohol or more so it actually kills shit. Keep some at every entrance of the house and in your vehicle to use when you can't wash your hands right away. Use it any time you go outside in places other people have been, especially if you had to touch stuff.

>Wash your hands 10-20 seconds with soap. Do this before you go out, when you get home, before you eat, and after you use the toilet. I dunno why some people don't do this anyway.

>Cough/sneeze into disposable tissues and throw them into trash bins. Use your elbow only if you don't have a tissue available since the shit can survive on clothes for up to a week. Most detergents will kill it, so if necessary you can strip and throw your clothes in the wash then take a shower if you want to do a full purge after coming home. Don't forget to disinfect your keys, door handles and light switches, though.

>Stay the length about a man's height away from other people, 1-2m or around 3-6ft. That social distancing thing they keep going on about.

>Eat well and stay Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

You will not get huge unless you leave humanity behind. It's simply not possible. Calisthenics are limited by your body mass and whatever stack of books you put on your back/chest/shoulders. Weights will get you to the same point in a quarter of the time that calisthenics will, and calisthenics have an exponential decay that's much faster than weights. All calisthenics are good for is passing military physicals, and maintaining bare minimum musculature when you have zero access to equipment such as during a pandemic or when in prison.

>>150351

Only way you'll get like that guy doing calisthenics is with roids, unless of course you're bigger than thin and want to slowly get down to his size

>>150351

Short answer - no.

To develop such physique, you have to do heavy work, but only with small bursts of high power. You will also have to go for a dirty bulk and pop some Ukrainian vitamin B6. There is no way to simulate those sort of conditions with your own body weight. You will gradually become stronger and more toned, meaning that you will be able to do more work, because, for example, 30 push ups will be a child's play to you, hence, you will do more push ups, to get that burn, which then will strain your muscles more for endurance, rather than power, and your muscle cross section will not increase, but it's density will increase.

I did calisthenics for one summer, just for shits and giggles with a buddy. You will develop grip strength, get slightly wider back, gain a bit on your arms and stabilise your core. Downside is that there's just no way to work on your legs sufficiently, and you have to do loads of chest work, to compensate for only working on your back every day.

Basically no. You can sprint, plyometrics in general, Overcoming Gravity, etc but it won't be enough. If you have the mindset of a twice convicted violent murderous thug that kills with his bear hands then maybe – point being that if your mind makes you produce the necessary hormones every day most every hour then yeah, you're good.

If you don't have the mind of a psychopathic caveman or wild predatory animal then it won't work. You can of course, after getting a feel for it, get the hormone side of things without the cavepsycho animal. Good luck.

And eat onions.

Your physiological specializations generalized or dual spec'd. It's better to be good at multiple things with a very very solid specialization. I'd do what the anon above you does if you're going for top applicability of strength and fitness – if you're going for strength, I'd still do split squats, jump or box squats, front squats and sprints. There's really no reason not to do them. I have to wonder at the biological adaptations required to improve back squat but do poorly in running, sprinting, split squats and jump squats.

Your 'base' just doesn't seem strong. You're overly specialized. You might be able to succeed by focusing on your specialization, but at what cost? Maybe there's some adaptation that occurs at 500+ lbs that removes the drawbacks and lets you train in other ways and it improves your specialization of the back squat or at least doesn't hinder it – but I don't know. How's your squat stamina? Can you do 20 reps of 50% of your max? How about 60%? Can you do 20 reps of 225 lbs? High strength specialists tend to have low capillary count in their muscles; lower than untrained individuals even. Perhaps the biking added capillaries that tend to burst when you lift heavy and your body is throttling itself so you don't get a blood clot that goes to the brain and kills you?

If that is the case, I recommend strengthening these capillaries to prevent their bursting. How? I'd say, higher volume squats and a variety of high intensity exercises. As well: wear a weight vest when walking about, or go for a hike with a pack/weight vest of 60 - 100 lbs and they will definitely strengthen. Plyometrics such as box jumps should help the most in the least time. Cholesterol repairs arterial walls, so eat plenty of eggs.

Training for endurance will compromise your strength, and training for strength will compromise your endurance to an extent, but the more muscle you have, the more endurance you ultimately have, even if you don't train for endurance. Cardio is a known-killer of muscle. Low intensity steady state, or LISS cardio, is the only thing you should do for losing fat, since anything close to high intensity will just begin to tear down your muscle.

No. Cardio is a lie for muscle and strength gains. Cardio is aerobic, weight lifting is anaerobic.

Ignore these retards. Low effort posts trying to counter high effort posts. Address what they're saying if you're going to contradict them.

Fucking 0 effort from the latter. Jesus fuckin christ.

>>150379

>How the fuck is spraying the asphalt street a meaningful reaction to a virus outbreak ?

They try to starve the sickness out by quarantining all sick people. For this to work the places between the healthy people and sick people have to be free of the virus.

Yeah, that has also been bugging me, shouldn't the priority be in spraying the things where people put their hands? as in tables, or handle bars, etc.

>Looks to me like most of this group spraying is the chinks pretending they have an idea of what they are doing.

most likely

>>150380

The virus does not survive long term in dust/non-porous substances and etc. So I don't really understand why anyone but a frightened soccermom would spray everything with disinfectant.

What's your progress been like with the previous routine? Are you ripped yet?

>>147639

>there are numbers guys and i dont want to read them

those are simple as shit if you actually try to read them bro wtf

>>147641

in the span of 5 years i managed to get to 230 bench press 325 deadlift, and 250 squat

im kinda huge but im not that ripped, prolly floating around 12-13% bf, I have flip asian genetics so yeah. though my delts and chests are really developed and big

>>147634

Do you bench press and military press on the same day?

I would pair Military press with squats and bench with deadlifts and go AXBXAXX/BXAXBXX

wtf what are you even trying to accomplish? both are shit. youre skipping leg day by having no accessories or volume. if you actually have proper asian genetics and god tier hips you should be able to sumo 3x bw easy. theres a million programs online and the resources on how to actually program properly.

try this one see were it takes you

WHEAT IS POISON, so is spinach, and tomatoes…just eat a double med rare burger with bacon and lettuce some soy free mayo IF you can find it or make your own with pastured egg yolks. For bread use SOURDOUGH!

>>149737

Or he'll get tired of just eating piles of ground beef and eat less. As a skinny guy, a bun isn't going to kill him, he should just make double burgers. Maybe throw an egg on.

>>149935

this is underrated post and anon is probably a god.

this is the ONLY way to eat a grass fed high fat animal burger.

go easy on the ketchup and mustard and put some nice cheddar on there and you have gains gains GAINS

>>149970 You just explained it yourself, your body eats muscle mass first keep those stores of energy. Then your body hypes up that metabolism to store more so when you break that fast you start getting chuunky

I didn't know fit was full of retards lol

Rolled 13 + 1 (1d360)

Fasting is super fucking good for you, there's evidence from laboratory mice for example that calorie restriction can increase lifespan by 30-40% by itself.

>Vid related, it's on the benefits of fasting on the brain

>>149968

nah, the occasional apple or orange to spike blood sugar after a workout is fine but drinking pure caloric sugar is pointless.

and yes, juice is pure sugar. I dont care if its organic
