Help me debunk this; is it possible to still eat the food you love in good amounts, exercise, and be able to lose fat? I'm trying to lose this not so huge gut while giving myself some adequate muscle build. Exercise routine is 5-6 days a week for 15-30 minutes. 3 sets of pull ups with 15 reps, 2 sets of push ups with 10 reps, 30 min of jogging from work, and bicycle tugs or whatever that leg tug things you do on your back with 2 sets with 15 reps.
Iifym bro
If most regulars are anything like me then they don't really care. Lot of people ask me to spot them when I'm taking a minute to rest between sets. It's normal. I'm pretty sure most don't mind coz they know if theyll need someone they can always ask too
That sounds like a scam. My routine's "gay?" What is this 2005? So what I do more exercise or what?
your routine is like doing weekend water aerobics go do some real shit, or pick up some real heavy shit
Don't worry about asking a stranger for a spot because most of them are happy to help but if you really don't want to then you can use a power rack and adjust the pins to a height where the barbell would land on the pins if you don't arch your back if that make sense.

The backstory is that the staff at a Buzz Fit gym in Montreal, Quebec have given my client a hard time in past weeks about deadlifting too loudly in the gym. They said he still could, but he had to place mats underneath the plates. So he did as they asked. A random bystander, not a staff member, (wearing an Animal shirt of all things: my sponsor) took it upon himself to confront him after he deemed his deadlifts to be too loud and watch what ensues. The backstory from the description.
Degenerate.
what horseshit. its not a fucking library and if you're distracted from your curl supersets by people actually lifting then maybe you're the problem
That's seriously fucked up. There is literally no excuse to ever get that angry and act like such a cunt. Slamming the bar down while the kid's strapped could've fucked him bad. If noise annoys you that much at the gym then invest in some ear buds.

Was pumping at the gym today, a massive guy came up to me and said "You want a shot?", I didn't understand at first but later on I realized he offered me to take roids. I politely refused and told him I don't do that stuff and he got fucking angry at me at the point where I thought we're about to throw down. What the fuck is wrong with people.
so I was doing dips, and I did 3 sets of 10 dips, went to do the fourth set, and made it 3 dips in before I felt a sharp pain in my chest muscles. Now I've got some minor pain when moving around and just generally being alive. I've hurt myself before and just kept training despite any injuries but I don't know what to do in this situation. I don't think I can really do a shoulders day when my chest feels tight and out of sorts. I haven't injured a muscle in my chest before so Idk what the deal is with recovery.
From the BB forum: Originally Posted by Dominik Dips can put a lot of pressure on the sternoclavicular joints. This can be a real problem with poor form (I'll explain this) and trying to add too much weight too soon. One of the keys to dipping safely is not allowing your shoulders to slump which puts more pressure on joints that connect the sternum to the collarbones along with the sternum itself. Keep the shoulders back by pushing the chest out and don't descend on a deflated chest. Breathe properly. Here are some tips that have worked well for me (dipping 4 plates for reps @ 255 bw) and a list of where injuries can occur: * don't dip below parallel (until you've got the flexibility) * breathe in as you descend to avoid lowering yourself on a deflated chest * keep your chest out and don't slump your shoulders * lower yourself under control and avoid dipping "to failure" * take your time increasing the weight and listen to your body (back the weight off or take a break from the exercise if you're experiencing soreness) Sternum. This involves the cartilage where the ribs connect to the sternum. Everyone experiences this one at some point, especially when starting out. Keep the chest filled with air on the way down, shoulders back, only dipping within the limits of your flexibility (for some this will be to parallel). Ease off the weight or put the exercise on hold if it persists. Sternoclavicular joints. Pain in the collarbone area, specifically below the neck. Once again, chest filled with air and shoulders back so you're not dipping on a caved in chest which puts more stress on these joints. Go to a safe depth. If there's persistent pain there, back off the weight or drop the exercise for a while. AC joint. This will feel manifest itself as persistent pain or tenderness in the front delt area. I've experienced it from dipping heavy for long periods without backing off. If you push it too hard a separation can occur. This is a common pressing injury and when it's serious it can put your training on ice for a long time. Pec tendon. Pain at the front of the armpit. This is where the pec tendon inserts into the humerus. Pain there means "back the f*ck up." Very common on bench but also applies to dips, especially if you train them heavy at low reps. If it feels tender, you need to take a break from heavy pressing involving the chest. If you keep pushing it, the damage could range from a strained pec to a full rupture of the tendon, the latter usually requiring immediate surgery and you could be sidelined for 6 months.
It feels like it's in the depth of my pec, but not quite all the way to the armpit side. I've worked my way up from assisted dips to no assist dips, and am working towards getting some weights on top of that. Looks like I'll have to slow down for a week or two. I've been really bad with taking rest days since embarking on this journey, trying to figure out how to balance all this is a thing.
Fucking heatwave's been murdering my assiduity for the past week. My gym doesn't even have working AC. Temperatures are lowering now, hope it'll stay that way. I feel like I got a bit fatter after ~1 month of bulking, though my scale shows my weight as stable. Perhaps dehydration due to the heat compensates for it?
Not sure what this means, do you mean slightly above your nipple? Yes, the amoun of water you're holding can cause huge fluctuations in weight, that's why athletes that compete in weight classes will do cardio in black bin bags to sweat out all the water they can
yeah I suppose it is slightly above the nipple
I keep debating whether to just relax and take a day or two off from the gym so I can recover or not I really haven't missed a day in months and months and breaking that streak kinda sucks mentally.
Nothing wrong with rest and recovery. Dunno what kinda program you do, but it's usually a pretty good idea to train in blocks of 8-12 weeks and taking a week of recovery after each block to prevent overreaching and injury
Would you rather take 2 days off to recuperate or take 2 weeks off due to injury? It's a no brainer.
either this didn't happen or you REALLY misinterpreted what he said
Maybe he said "you want a spot?" and you embarrassed him by refusing and saying you don't do that stuff?
No, afterwards he said if I want to buy "the stuff" from him.
I was asked what I'm taking the other day, I'll take that as a compliment I guess .. 🤔
Shouldve replied "The stuff", and asked him if he wanted to take a shot.
I take a daily supplement of Bull Semen mixed with egg whites. None of that gross steroid shit for me no sir
Music is legit a PED, the bar felt empty with ASAP FERG yelling in my ear trying to convert me to islam
