Its just marketing, brands spend virtually nothing to throw some soy protein into their recipe and they can write PROTEIN CHIPS and meathead retards who can't into macros will buy it.

My gripe is that all the protein dairy products I want to buy at my local Lidl all have fucking artificial sweeteners in them and fuck with my digestion. The macros are decent for what they are, but I can't use them daily or my shit logs become rock hard and tar black.


Creatine is the most well researched supplement on earth. It works. A neat side effect is it makes you appear slightly more muscular straight away as it causes more water retention in your muscle fibers.

Yeah, I have the opposite issue with protein related mixes. Whey is fine and so is dairy but I REFUSE to use the artificial sweetener ones because it makes me have diahrrea.

Taking a video of your lifts and reviewing the form will help you a lot. You don't really need to be a PT to notice awkward movements, and just being aware of these issues will already be a huge help.

I was previously informed setting up a camera at the gym was in poor taste. I will try to perfect my form at home.

It's not in poor taste if you're doing it to record your form. If you're referring to what one of the previous posters in this thread said, that's more about "gym girls" who record their every set for Instagram only showing their ass. If you're recording yourself to improve your lifting, you record only one set then continue with your workout as normal. If someone shames you for that they're fucking retarded.
 
Yea, when I was in Denmark I was invited to a powerlifting gym - one where normal members have to apply to join - and they literally had tripods lying around for people to check their form.

Anyways, I'm getting close to maxing out the stack on my gym's leg extension machine. What do?
 
We’re all autistic here but I still think most of us can tell the difference between someone setting their phone up for a form check video and going full retard with putting a tripod on the other side of the gym to record themselves bouncing 135 off their chest and bellowing like some kind of animal, then having a problem with anyone walking in front of their setup because they dared to want to use the T-bar or something.

Totally unrelated to anything else but it’s kind of cool when a girl has definition in her upper back muscles.

my arms are weak and it doesn't feel as intuitive as running/walking

it's difficult to give advice on this point because it might be a variety of things
it could be your grip, which is totally normal and should use straps for that movement
it could be not that your arms (bicep, tricep, forearm) are weak, but rather you don't have proper pulling technique or pushing technique and you compensate by involving your arms in those movements more than you should
or it could be that your arms are weak and you should train them (it sounds like you are not a novice, so you should try to find exercises that you like for the biceps and triceps)

now with the second point it's even more complicated. The best advice I could give you is to try and learn the biomechanics of your muscles, what the quad does, how it moves, how the glute is involved with it's movement, etc. Try to feel the muscle you are targeting with each exercise. Learn what muscles are involved in each exercise, not by memorization, but by understanding how your body functions
that or just spend 5 years in the gym and you will just kinda know

"Yo dude what supplements do you take?"
"Yo dude you want me to suck your dick in the locker room?"
"Yo dude you see that fat bitch on the stairmaster?"
"Yo dude what's your bench 1RM?"

Lots of possibilities tbh.

true
also bodybuilding and going to the gym was seen as gay back in the time of Arnold. The magazines were softcore for gay men as well
gymculture has this homoerotic undertone that I don't quite get why guys play into it like it's cool or something
doesn't mean I want skanks in my gym

i've started mixing in two scoops with my preworkout but i don't think it's had any noticeable effect

You have to take it daily. It's not like caffeine where it has an immediate, short-term effect. It needs time to accumulate in the muscles. It's recommended to take as much as 25g per day for a week when you start so it builds up faster.
 
I don’t even take protein powder because I would rather eat a gas station burrito and a multi-vitamin. Then for extra protein, I just consume 30 eggs.

Also I have a ton of diarrhea.
 
I'm feeling my age. So huge family party my one nephew turned one everyone was at family house. They had a bouncy castle with water and a full jungle gym. Uncle basso was a child wrangler. I had a super time. But this sweet kid was doing monkey bars. So slow each hand to bar. I was like brah, watch, I shot by pulled my knees and shot across. He kept feeling nervous. I explained your safe I'll catch you, use your swing grab move faster is safer and more fun. He just couldnt. I refuse to get upset with kids. But I had a dead hang like 10 seconds. Felt that. When basso Jr etc start getting into this shit, I will become dad bod (also back on tren).

I also felt sad I couldn't muscle up. I mean I'm in my 40s and have a missing shoulder.
 
What do you guys do for your rear delts? Looking for simple and effective options that don't belong in the "do it 5% wrong and it's not a rear delt exercise anymore" category.

I do pullups, chinups, pronated and supinated grip barbell rows, upright rows, and bent-over lateral raises across my routine. Most of these movements use the posterior delts as a secondary mover then I finish them off with the bent-over lat raises.
