Wooo! Did a muscle-up! Probably not the best form, but I finally got my ass above the bar
Damn you, I still can't do one.
Congrats, looked solid to me.

Anyone else here have exercises that they are unusually weak at (vs the general population)? Not stuff like wanting to have a better OHP, real weaknesses.
My lifts are all at the novice to intermediate levels except for bench press, where I actually struggle to do untrained numbers. I can only assume it's got something to do with breaking both of my collar bones when I was a teenager but for whatever reason I just don't progress on it.
Oddly I'm actually quite strong at things like dumbbell flyes when compared to others... but definitely not the press motion.

My legs and core have always been lacking. Ive made progress, but I'm not proportional at allAt the end of the day, you can only work with what you've got... I just find it interesting that my strength seems to be so unbalanced in that area.
What Youtubers do you all follow? I'm trying to find more guys to add to my Youtube/Instagram feed for motivation. I can't seem to find enough that aren't proponents of misc/bro/zyzz culture (can't stand that, sorry).
I really only follow like... Michael Kory and Buff Dudes for their recipes.
As an Asian, I find timbahwolffff on IG to be inspirational.

Thanks! The transition is the tough part for me. Not sure what muscles that requires (shoulders?), but whatever it is, mine have trouble.Damn you, I still can't do one.

What ingredients do you put in yours?I make my own pre-workout. That way I know exactly what I'm getting and don't have to worry about most of the bullshit ingredients that companies add. I don't put caffeine in it either... if I need the extra jolt I'll have a triple espresso before working out.
Most I check for are powerliftersWhat Youtubers do you all follow? I'm trying to find more guys to add to my Youtube/Instagram feed for motivation. I can't seem to find enough that aren't proponents of misc/bro/zyzz culture (can't stand that, sorry)..
What ingredients do you put in yours?
BCAAs (I work out fasted)
Creatine
Beta Alanine
Citrulline Malate
Taurine
Most of that isn't specific to helping (instantly) with the workout (pretty much only Beta Alanine), but it's easier for me to just take all of it then than at some other point in the day.
What's this ingredient used for?
L-Citrulline is used as a sports performance and cardiovascular health supplement. L-Citrulline supplementation results in reduced fatigue and improved endurance for both aerobic and anaerobic prolonged exercise. There is not enough evidence to support the claim that L-citrulline supplementation improves power output during exercise.
Sorry, guess I couldn't googled that. Very interesting though how it's more effective than taking L-arganine.
Lol I don't even know how to react to this Dad-bod business. I just... Don't.how does one create the perfect dadbod?
how does one create the perfect dadbod?
Lol great answerAccording to us? Do one of the routines in the OP, balance your macros and eat at a caloric surplus (bulking) or deficit (cutting).
According to that girl / social media? Work out a little bit here and there, and drink and eat as much as you want.

Dude, I was trying to look for him before but I didn't know his IG handle. Thanks FE.

Hehehe, I forgot to mention this guy. He's such a beast. I go to bed hoping to dream of being in his shoes.
I'll check the others out.
Work on your stabilizers, leakey. Any time I hit a plateau I drop weight on my compound and increase reps. Additionally, I'll spend a good deal of time focusing on the areas that are holding me back.
What part of your squat is failing? Bench?
Hah, I just made his chicken tenders an hour ago. Oatmeal breading and baked. Then I doused them in Franks and chowed down. Might make some more as I'm still shy on cals for today.I suscribed to Michael Kory's channel because I wanted to try out his recipes, and now over a year later I still haven't tried a single recipe.

It's optional, but it couldn't hurt to have one of these on hand.

"Do you even lift, Dad? DO YOU EVEN LIFT?"
Kids are so great at giving you inspiration. My daughter makes me feel so much stronger and faster than I really am. I love it.It's optional, but it couldn't hurt to have one of these on hand.
It's funny. My dad hasn't been to a gym in probably 30+ years and yet he still has crazy old man strength because he's always doing some kind of manual labor around the house for fun.

That's all well and good until they start competing with you... and beating you.
The OP tells us creatine adds 2-4 pounds of water weight. Does anyone here cut their creatine intake for the summer, and does it make a noticeable difference in muscle definition? I imagine it would, if it's a real thing.
If so, how long does it take to drop the extra water weight?
Unless you're cutting for a bodybuilding show, I don't see any reason to cut creatine. When I stop taking it I recover slower, feel weaker, and don't look any leaner.
Is the water retention from creatine happening throughout the body or is it somehow only within muscle tissue?Unless you're cutting for a bodybuilding show, I don't see any reason to cut creatine. When I stop taking it I recover slower, feel weaker, and don't look any leaner.

Training for conan's wheel.
The absolutely SUCK. Zercher carries. This is only 255lbs and it sucked bad. http://youtu.be/8_96wOZkQE8
Its a good time killer. Plus motivation at times (actions not words.) Seeing guys the same build/size as you killing it on their lifts. When you got guys ~170 (most likely natty) pulling 7 plates it just gives you hope. I ain't really start fucking with YouTube until I stumbled on this thread.I don't follow or watch anyone on YouTube. Am I doing this wrong?.
Yeah I get that. I guess I don't really have a desire to lift heavier right now so that wouldn't do much for me. DLing 675 at 170 is insane. 525 at 175 damn near killed me!Its a good time killer.

Cool then, just looked up PPL and found some pretty decent routines. Now just to find a good frequency and stick to it.Sounds like you are doing PPL which is pretty normal.
