What should I be able to do in the gym to have the ability to lift, carry and throw around my average weight girlfriend without discomfort?
I don’t go the gym at the moment and I am skinny but naturally athletic. How long will it take?

While I agree weight and strength are important I would place more importance on technique than anything. I've been able to throw guys ~4 times my weight with realativly little ease once I've got the technique right. That said if you don't have the technique right you're likely to injure yourselves if you don't have some strength to back yourself up.

So, for you and your girlfriend. Strength > Technique >Bulk.

How can a guy be 4 times your weight? Why do you need to throw people that heavy?

I over embellished, he's 2.5x my weight. He was a newbie and didn't believe it was possible to throw him, so I was asked to demonstrate it with him since I'm the least intimidating guy in the club. For the next 45min so he was my rag-doll for every demonstration. I probably would of felt guilty if I hadn't gone through the same thing my first time (I arrived 10min late).

One arm stronger than the other. Anonymous 13/04/21(Sun)00:44 No. 11588 [Reply]

Greetings fellows!
So, I'm having the uncomfortable sensation that my left arm is getting stronger than my right one. This is particularly notable when I perform pushing exercises. For instance, I can't do as much push-ups with my right arm as I can with my left one, nor perform them with the same exquisiteness of technique. Also, my right triceps seems to be getting slightly bigger that my left one, even when it's weaker.
So, what can I do in order to balance my strength?
I'm right-handed by the way, and I'm into calisthenics, and have no money, or time, or the will to go to a gym or get machines.
I'm open to any suggestions you may have, or similar experiences you could share, and glad to read them.

The picture attached is unrelated, at least for the moment.

Causes:
1) It's mostly in your head.
and
2) Your body isn't symmetrical.

To balance your strength? If you really want to do something about it, isn't the answer obvious? Work out your right arm more.

In addition to what >>11591 said:

1) Almost nobody has a symmetrical body. As long as your tricep/arm/whatever isn't freakishly larger on one side compared to the other, don't sweat it too much.

2) Make sure you exert equal force on both sides of body when doing exercises. It might help to take note of your arm/leg positions (i.e. make sure both hands are equidistant from center of body when doing pushups, otherwise one arm will be worked out more, leading to imbalance)

3) get back into balance by doing the same amount of work on each side. If you can only do 20 pushups with your right arm, then do only 20 pushups with your left arm as well. You may be capable of doing more pushups with your left arm, but do the same number for both sides to get back to a balance.

4)In conjunction with point 3, find out how many pushups/reps of whatever exercise you can do with the WEAKER side of your body, with PROPER FORM. You say that you can't do as many pushups with the right arm with the same "exquisiteness of technique", so find out how many pushups with the right hand you CAN do with the same exquisiteness of technique, and execute the instructions of point 3.

Thank you both very much. So that's what I'm gonna do I guess, go with the left one only as far as the right one can go. Or don't give fuck about it and keep working the same as always, I'll decide it latter.

I want some good, cheap, and not 'flashy looking' inline skates I can use without attracting too much wattention.
Considering getting those shoe skates, but i'm sure they are for kids.

Here's a pair for $100, from $150 AUD I saw at Rebel Sports the other day. Nobody seems to want to sell these. They're not at any of the main superstores.

Is it a bad idea to get a pair for free, or second hand, on craigslist or something?

I want to live dream of dancing while on rollerskates with a boombox.

Yet, his point isn't without merit. There's a strong correlation between poverty, lack of education and poor nutrition. Assuming other people in your segment generally make poor choices, it isn't such a bad idea to consider what they don't.

In other words an important way of handling poverty is educating yourself about nutrition. You need to be able to read content labels in a meaningful way so you can make correctly assess which foods are beneficial. Since un-processed foods generally don't need nutrition labels you will need to actively look it up from other sources (wikipedia, books etc).

But long story short: Learn about nutrition, read labels, be healthy and save money.

whole uncooked chickens and cutting it up yourself, bacon, pinto beans, rice (unless you want to keto),eggs (really cheap nowadays thanks to the obesity epidemic and cholesterol scare) pretty much everything you have to cook yourself. Rice paper and veggies for spring rolls are cheap too.

rice, beans, canned fruit, milk, eggs, tuna. Luckily for me I have several cheap food stores in my area for such an occasion. A chain store called Aldi's is amazingly cheap I can get a gallon of milk for $0.99. If you are really down on your luck food pantries can provide you peanut butter, bread and other items.

My lips have endured a life of biting, nibbling licking and bad weather.

They are essentially calloused now. Without licking them, they have a kind of veneer that isn't what lips are meant to feel like. If I rip it away with my teeth, it feels...softer, like lips are meant to: briefly!

Moisturiser softens them briefly, but it stings. It's not meant to be put there.

Vasoline and all those lip balm products do nothing! Sometimes they provide a tad pain relief but that's probably due to the pain medication in some of them.

Am I destined to have fugly lips?

Tell me there is some other product out there that I haven't considered which can save me.

I've cared for my lips by using Aveeno moisturizing lotion, the kind with oatmeal in it. If I'm in windy weather, I slap on an additional layer of lip balm to prevent them from chapping.

My lips get dried in some places, and I start to pick at them, which inevitably results in tearing of some kind. I find that Aveeno oatmeal lotion doesn't hurt compared to ordinary lotion/moisturizers when I put it on.

So buy a bottle of this: http://img2.timeinc.net/instyle/images/2010/bbb06/aveeno-body-lotion-300.jpg

I've also found that Carmex stuff to be good for healing lips in my experience. You can just put a nice layer on before bed, and wake up with your lips healed. The cherry Carmex has a nice scent: http://www.scform.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Carmex-Tube.gif

apply as often as needed. And for the love of God, DON'T BITE, LICK, OR PICK AT YOUR LIPS. I know, it feels weird when you touch the dead skin on your lips, but picking at it only reopens the wounds and makes the callouses worse. I had a hard time with this, but just use some willpower, put on the lotion and/or carmex, and leave your lips be.

Your skin is highly adaptable. Callouses are basically your body defending you against infections by toughening the outer layer. Only way to stop callouses or thick skin is to reduce the amount of physical wear on that particular area.

serious question /fit/ please be serious:

I'm a chubby girl (around 25-24% BMI) who wants to get a body just like this pic. I was reading the FAQ and it says I need to cut my daily calories, cardio AND LIFTING

>>question here is about routine and weigh lifting

I was thinking of doing the cut with 500 less calories, cardio 2-3 days/week BUT I'm not sure about weigh lifting because my body won't recover properly if I'm doing cut+cardio. Ok I'll eat my protein 1g/lb and I was thinking on follow this routine for my weigh lifting:

Workout A
3x5 Squat
3x5 Bench Press
1x5 Deadlift
3x10 Back Extension

Workout B

You do not state any prior experience with fitness, so I shall assume your are total newb. To lose weight, decrease caloric intake. Working out is not an efficient way to decrease your mass. To build body-mind, do pushups/planks and pullups. Cardio you can do after that or on rest days of which you should have plenty (my bet is make at least 4 out of 7 days rest days).
Weights are not needed for a beginner. As a beginner, you shall exercise your focus, correct form (this includes motor skills), knowledge of your (body-mind) boundaries and your core muscles. Weights and isometric exercises are not at all required to achieve this. When you are no longer a beginner, you may add these elements to the mix for intermediate body building.

Thank you.

Hey /fit/ I always love the muscular definition of well proportioned comic characters (not the Hulk type) i mean this milimetric muscular definition (not as much as mass) and those dinamic lines that i think (or I believe that they do) implies functional strenght, coordinate groups of muscles and excellent cardio capabilities (i consider myself pretty strong in this last concept only) and this shit kind of inspires me. I´m just starting on weigths (two months or so), 22 years old, thin guy, 64 kg and 1.77m. So, do you boys and girls have any suggestions to guide my efforts to these particular goals?

Train HEAVY as possible. For reference, look up Antonio Cesaro one-hand snatch. He's not big, but he's the strongest pro wrestler I've seen, pound for pound. Focus STRENGTH STRENGTH STRENGTH, do yoga and shit to give your stabilizers a workout too, keep the bf low and the water intake high, and you'll look like an absolutely efficient shredded cunt.

I have no interest in getting fit or healthy.
I used to be naturally skinny, girls talked to me, I was happy. Anyway 3 years have past, I developed an anxiety disorder, spend most of my time indoors, now I'm fat and I want to be thin again.

I have invested in the following weight loss pills:
Adios Max Maximum Strength Weight Loss
Raspberry Ketone Burn - Highly Concentrated Fat Burning Formula
Alli - Orlistat 60mg Weight Loss Capsules

Does anyone have experience with these brands? or just weight loss tablets / appetite suppressants in general?

Let's hear about your successes.

In 7 weeks of lifting 2x/wk i have dropped 2.4% body fat and added about twice that amount in weight (which i assume is muscle).

how about you?

I hate hearing people complain about not being able to eat enough. Just eat more caloric dense foods.

I.e. mass gain shakes with bananas and peanut butter and whole milk.
