Ask me anything about training!

Squatting is good for your knees! But don’t just take my word for it, there are multiple studies done to show that resistance training improves tendon and muscular strength which in turn can improve joint function (and as a result, reduce pain)

Squatting with bad technique and poor load management will most certainly be bad for the knees though, I certainly was guilty of this when I first started :rofl:

You mean like 4kg?

There is this girl in the gym and I have been meaning to talk to her, but her biceps are bigger than mine. What do I do?

yes that is more weight :joy:

in seriousness, if youre really putting in effort even just doing push ups and pull ups consistently will get you some pretty decent results.

You might want to ask her if she identifies as female?

I like the facial expressions of the people in the supermarket.
Dorian Yates started the freak show, before Dorian they had to look well proportioned. I would never have wanted to look like that , but yeah good luck to the guy would make a morning shopping trip more interesting :grinning:

man those guys are so crazy it is unbelievable when I first met someone like that. their bodies are so thick and wide that they’d honestly have difficulty fitting into taxis

It’s easy to talk about success whether what you are saying is true or false.

Assuming you believe the information I have provided these are my personal results that I offer.

Damn :howyoudoin:

Btw we can all see the silhouette of your dick. You might want to crop the picture next time.

That whole site is genius. I’ve now read like five articles and I still can’t tell whether it’s a parody or not.

In college I might have been this fit. I was stronger but that strength came with cost. The shoulder injury I suffered taught me to be really really careful. Benching too much weight caused my injury.

Now, I do very little weight on the bench and instead do body weight dips, pushups, inclines, and declines. I spend more time strengthening my shoulders.

I never skip leg day. My routine is leg day, followed by back day (pulling exercises), and finally chest and shoulders day (pushing exercises).

I am also happy to help anyone interested in knowing more.

Anybody here lift or know people that lift after having a herniated disc? Advice?

I know multiple people who continue to lift after suffering a disc herniation. The main thing is learning how to strengthen your core. A good friend is 35+ and deadlifts more than me despite suffering two disc herniation before.
