Squatted 245 for 3 reps today :woop:
why is it when i do squats some terrible cracking noise comes from my knees? i dont feel any pain but it sounds fucking nasty
[QUOTE=AnemoneS2;28532632]I live in Mexico. And this guy is one of the Gym managers. He is HUGE, his bicep is the size of his head 2x.
I told you, the doctors told me there was no hope for me, the bones cannot grow any longer at the age of 19. Doctors said HGH is useless and commercialized bullshit.
But I just snapped out of it, I'll go do basketball as last resort. I'm really unhappy about my height. Google says I'm 5.28 feet tall. Smaller than I thought I was.
It really sucks when the girl you like, is taller than you.
But I just realized I don't care about gains, I want to earn my way through hard work, look at my body and say "I worked for this".[/QUOTE]
Working out won't magically make you taller. Just work out often and become one of those badass short stocky dudes. Get past being short because that's one of the easiest insults to call out on someone.. so just expect them and blow them off.

Do you stretch beforehand?
how come my abs are always red after my abs workout?
I figured it was because of the intense blood flow into the muscle but that doesn't happen anywhere else.
You're probably going to die.

but if you don't it could just be some sort of skin irritation

idk i'm not a doctor
So you are a pretty heavy guy, right? When you bend down, all your fat folds in on itself and gets all bundled up and under pressure, so the skin gets irritated. Sounds nasty I know, but it's probably that. Sorry.
[QUOTE=AnemoneS2;28529816]I am so sorry, fuck.
I have considered the use of AAS. To make up for my self-steem and confidence problems.
I told my mother about it, either she doesn't love me or she is totally ignorant about them, but she approved. The reason for this, is that we went to see a doctor about why my growth is stunt, and he told us, nothing can be done to improve my height.
This is happening too fast, we just visited the guy who sells steroids, and he told me to speak with him at the afternoon, my mother is coming too. So it's really awkward.
With all honesty I will say this, I'm not even thinking about the positive side of this, my mind is filled with all the negative consequences, bitch tits, going bald, liver damage, yet I still want to do it, and not with big gains in mind. More of a ... "I don't care about myself anymore" attitude.
In other words, HELP. Can somebody scare me about AAS before it's too late? Can I have a non-biased site about this information?
Can I also be told any fucking positive side in steroids? Because I can't find anything. I want to know, my kamikaze decision has some light in it.

I can't step back with the guy who is selling them, who happens to work at the Gym as instructor.[/QUOTE]
Whoa whoa whoa, first of all, you should NOT be taking any kind of substance if you're practically being forced into it. And you can "step back" you tell the guy to go fuck himself. No-one can force you to take anything.
Now onto the topic of AAS. Used correctly, yes they can be very beneficial and life improving, with very little or no side effects. Note how I said [B]used properly.[/B] AAS is powerful shit, and [B]requires that you MUST DO THOROUGH RESEARCH[/B]. Don't take some assholes word at the gym, read, read and fucking read more.
Before you even consider getting AAS, go get some bloodwork done to find out if you have low testosterone, if that is the case, a doctor may be able to legally prescribe you a TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) program.
As to whether it will make you taller, I doubt it, but if the case is your body for one reason or another hasn't fully commited to inducing puberty, that could be why you aren't growing, and as such, yes AAS can be used to induce puberty.
Again, DO SOME FUCKING READING. I'm not trying to sound like an asshole, but AAS is not something you should take willy nilly, as much as I do spend time trying to tell people it's not all that bad.

He´s not ´heavy´ at all. He´s a p toned guy if I remember right

I don't know a lot about steroids and shit, but you shouldn't just inject yourself with this stuff if you're not completely sure what you're doing. This isn't just some vitamin pills, it's way more serious.
[QUOTE=Binsky;28539994]He´s not ´heavy´ at all. He´s a p toned guy if I remember right[/QUOTE]
yeah but my bodyfat isn't exactly low either.
also the redness only occurs on the sides of the abs (both of them)
...or on the obliques I guess

You feel hot after your ab workout? Might be similar to your face for example turning red after a pretty long run.

You don't warm up correctly. I get this all the time, incorporate more, gradual, "feel sets". if you use 5000lbs at about your 5RM for example, use 1000, then 2500. Don't explode immediately at 5000lbs.
Same happens for my elbows, if I don't warm up before Skullcrushers.
Finally broken out of this rut and have put on 2lbs this week for the first time in over a month! My diet is gonna be healthy but my bank balance wont be. I've consumed a shit ton of food this week, think the secret might be bananas every few hours to add those few extra calories. New weight is 173lbs. Started training my legs too so should see a few extra lbs in the coming months there and hit my 13 stone target by the summer.
Chest, triceps, back, abs today. Legs are kinda tired from wednesday's squatting, but it feels more like I had been running, not squatting.
I had a 10 day break from lifting due to medical issues, and now my elbows hurt after a small workout. What the shit?
Man up, pussy!
[QUOTE=sp00ks;28545182]I had a 10 day break from lifting due to medical issues, and now my elbows hurt after a small workout. What the shit?[/QUOTE]
Never hurt before? If so, try warming up correctly.

Yeah it's probably from the sweaty skin folding over itself a bunch and rubbing against itself. I wouldn't worry too much
back/bis today
1 month ago, I couldn't curl 15kg for 1 rep
I just did it for a set
son, I am proud :buddy:
Bro5! That's some serious progress, man
[QUOTE=Binsky;28545548]Yeah it's probably from the sweaty skin folding over itself a bunch and rubbing against itself. I wouldn't worry too much[/QUOTE]
Yeah I have the same kind of problem, sort of. If I've been sitting for too long, I get red lines on my stomach where my fat/skin has folded in on itself.
Also way to go, NotMeh. Great progress!

Any suggestions on good warmups?

[QUOTE=sam.clarke;28545320]Man up, pussy![/QUOTE]
thanks
My physiotheraphist suggested putting something mediumsized and solid object on the other side of your elbow and then using your arm kinda like a nutcracker (carefully, just stretching, no cracking) to release any tensions created by too much leaning on the elbow.
Random tidbit of the day :P

That was a good game from both sides, fun game to watch. I think that would be an amazing playoff series to watch.
Fuck, since I been working out more, I have been eating tons. So now my shits are massive. The other day I clogged up the toilet it was so big.
Any tips on getting rid of stretch marks on the arms?
I got a lot of them since I've been lifting weights.
Cocoa butter is what pregnant chicks use, if I remember right.
