Thread 725123328

Did this scene bother anyone else?
>getting pinned at 165lbs
>"you always need a spotter when you lift"
>flambae squatting AWAY from the squat rack on the far rack
I saw the writer picture none of them actually lift so why write a scene about lifting if you don't know anything about it?

>>725123328 (OP)
If modern writers wrote about what they know they wouldn't be writing anything at all

>>725123328 (OP)
Because they needed a mini training montage to show why Robert didn’t just immediately fold in the bar fight.
Plus you never know, they might have had flambae do it wrong on purpose cuz he’s a bit of a tard.

are you really gonna be a /fit/fag with a superiority complex while watching a fictional man date fictional women in a VN? do you not see the irony in how much of a faggot you are?

You can post literally anyone lifting anything and someone will say the form is wrong

Why are the marines at comic-con?

>>725123981
They also have less muscle strength so less body weight doesn’t help that much.

>>725124245
To recruit losers like you and me, anon. What better place to find disaffected youth than comic con?

>>725123328 (OP)
I think Flambe said specifically that normal humans need a spotter. Superheroes don't. It was silly that the game acted like Robert was in any danger with that weight though. Just shrug it to one side and rest the bar on the ground if you're at failure. He had the thing lifted off his chest a few inches.

>>725123780
not when you bought a VN that hired an e-celeb. if he was good at voice acting, okay. but it is not

....why are you acting like lifting doesn't exist IRL hahahaha
also yeah roll of death, sway. never bench without learning these techniques

idk if there's even a oh fuck for squat/deadlift or ohp without the bars though. deadlift/ohp you can drop but if you squat without the safety bars, you're kinda fucked. you can do the drop backwards and get out of the way but it can easily land on your calves and that's gg

>>725124147
Dude, if you are an adult male, without some genetic disability and you can't bench 165 you won't even be able to do a fucking pushup. A fucking teenager lifts 165.
So go project somewhere else.

If your tendons are getting ripped at 165 bench, you are objectively a genetic failure of a human being. A one-armed cloning mistake would do better.

>getting pinned at 165
entirely possible, especially since Robert is both short and rail thin. honestly I was impressed they didn’t give him 2pl8s because I knew he was too small
>you always need a spotter
bench press solo is the leading cause of death in a gym by a significant margin for a reason. Albeit he could have clarified that safeties or not using clamps would suffice (or having correct but difficult recovery technique where you throw it to your waist), but that would be a lot of dialogue
this wasn’t that bad imo
t. benches lmao 2pl8+ change for double digit reps

>>725123328 (OP)
Why was this scene so homoerotic?

>>725125851
if you're shorter you have a tendency to lift more. less distance.

A lot of unnecessary touching.

why does this trigger so many anons here

I feel like the writers, scene coordinators, whomever did that on purpose. It really felt like it was done to gaybait to some degree.

It's called falseflagging, jeet. And you're more than likely the one who posted that. Visichads are heroes. Blonde Bitch stans are shallow, heartless, and brown. Also, people who choose Visi like to save others while people who choose the Bitch are children who want to be saved.

Flambae was flexing. He doesn't need the rack.

Getting pinned at 165 is pretty embarassing yeah
Like just roll it off

>>725126405
fair, but thats all to say he doesn't have much muscle
but yes you are correct
>>725126349
probably because YOU are gay, or female

>>725123851
I've been trying to get in shape lately and I am convinced pull-ups are a psyop. They are not possible and all video evidence to the contrary is AI generated. I went from not being able to do a single push-up to being able to do 6 in like 2 weeks, whereas pull-ups in twice that time I have gone from doing 0 pull-ups to being able to do 0 pull-ups. I can still only barely do an active hang for 30s. If I try to pull myself up from an active hang, literally nothing happens.

>>725128513
try coiling your entire body when you start out. Pull with you legs, and your waste and your back in the beginning. Your muscles can lose the memory of operation, even besides their strength and pull ups are pretty much never done in nature.
I also could not do pull ups all my life until now, where I can do ten if my grip is vertical.

>>725128968
>Your muscles can lose the memory of operation
what

>>725128513
>I went from not being able to do a single push-up
Are you recovering from cancer or something?

I'm a 5'9" Hispanic male who can't bench 165 despite going to the gym for over a year and have type 2 diabetes and weigh 155pounds. The most I can do is 135.

If he's Hispanic, it's probably accurate.

>>725123328 (OP)
>getting pinned at 165lbs
After being in a coma for months
>"you always need a spotter when you lift"
A joke about the corporate safety posters in the workplace gym saying that you always need a spotter
>flambae squatting AWAY from the squat rack on the far rack
Sure

>>725128513
That just means you are fat, try losing some weight

>>725128968
I'll try activating more muscles during the pull, which I think is what you're saying to do?

>>725129272
Overweight and a decade+ of being almost completely sedentary.

>>725129521
It's a slow process.

>>725128513
>pull-ups in twice that time I have gone from doing 0 pull-ups to being able to do 0 pull-ups
how much do you weigh
weight and height have a very significant impact on pullups. I'm a bloatlord who can do multiple clapping pushups but can only do about 3~ unassisted pullups which took me years to get to
its not uncommon for people to stagnate on pullups because they increase their weight via putting on more muscle
I weigh about 250lbs for context

>>725129140
If you've ever had a job where you perform the same motion again and again, you'll know what I mean. Like a farmer who doesn't look ripped, but just keeps tossing hay bales all day, his body calls upon it's strength more readily.

I also used to struggle with pecflies even though I can bench 2pl8, and squat 3pl8. It's only because the motion is so unusual and not found in daily life, that your body won't call upon it's strength as readily, and it can feel almost like it's not supposed to do that at all.

>>725128513
I can bench 170 pounds but I can't do a single pull or push up.
I also weight 330 pounds (im very tall and fat)

>>725128513
Regular push ups are only about 65% of your body weight, pull up are 100% and also require strong grip. You should try band/machine assisted or negatives until you can go to regular pull ups. No matter what you do, just keep at it and you'll get there, good luck Anon!

>>725123328 (OP)
Was this a mamdani reference?

>>725129782
>It's a slow process.
Not really if you are strict with your calorie intake. I lost 20kg in like 6 months by eating 600 to 800 calories per day

>>725129353
tell me exactly how many grams of protein you eat everyday, as well as exactly how many calories you eat minimum everyday
if your answer to that is something qualitative like
>I eat a LOT
>I eat as much as I can
and not quantitative, than you are almost certainly not eating enough
the body is incredibly fucking queer, it hates eating outside of its normal inclination and it WILL cause you to rationalize that you are eating correctly when you aren't

>>725130017
Why can't I >>725129971 do a single push up then? :(

>>725130429
Because he is obese

>>725130493
So what? If I bench around 65% of my BW shouldn't I be able to do a push up?
Guess 170 is a bit away from ~210 but still...

>>725125851
Benching is safe solo if you know your limits. If you haven’t bench pressed for a while or at all you definitely need a spot, but once you know what weight you can comfortable rep with you can do it solo. At that point if you want to try for more than yeah you need a spot

>>725130568
Push up is 65% to 75% of your body weight so you are well over your max bench weight. You can probably do a girl push up with your knees on the ground

>>725130429
330 x .65 = 214.5
214.5 > 170
214.5 - 170 = 44.5
44.5~ a plate
thats a very significant weight disparity desu
kind of like asking a guy why he doesn't simply add 2 25s to his ORM bench

>>725128513
Pull ups recruit muscles you've never used in your whole life so it takes time to get good at them
Do some negatives along with those easy mode rows. You'll be pumping them in no time, provided you're not (that) overweight

>>725128513
>whereas pull-ups in twice that time I have gone from doing 0 pull-ups to being able to do 0 pull-ups. I can still only barely do an active hang for 30s
Most adult American men and women are incapable of a single pullup. You just need to lose weight and keep building mass. Try negative pullups

t. 10+ full rom pullups with 70 on weight-belt

>>725130819
>70 on weight-belt
dayum
how much do you weigh and how long did it take to do that many

>>725130429
Taller people naturally have a harder time with pull ups since their arms are longer, meaning they have to do more than a shorter person for the same exercise. Add that fact that he weights so much, and theres your answer.
>>725130568
Bench press and Pull ups use completely different muscle groups Anon. Its like asking "I'm top 500 in CS, why aren't I good at civ5?" If you want to get better at pull ups, train your forearms and lats.

The bigger issue is who the fuck starts with 35s then adds 25s on top?

>>725130107
I can't give exact amounts because I don't have a gram scale. But here's what I can tell you at least
>Feel hungry constantly
>Have t2 diabetes
>Eat about 1/3rd of costco chicken every 3 days or so
>Eat about 1-2 cuts of steak every 2 days
>Have oikos yogurt each night

It may be worth mentioning i can do 55lb dumbbell curls. It's just that on the bench and squats I struggle.

>>725125027
I can do pushups at 166lbs and I only bench 120
Pushups are like, only half your bodyweight at an angle that makes it easier.
I can still do pushups with my niece sitting on me (70lbs right now) and I'm not confident in adding 70lbs to my bench without dying immediately.

>>725131281
The bigger issue is why aren't jannies deleting a /fit/ thread on /v/

Anyone struggling with two sports? I'm trying to increase my bench and cycling FTP and I'm struggling to recover and/or build on either of them. I tried doubling and taking more rest days or alternating and I feel fine but I feel like I just don't have the power to push through.

>>725123328 (OP)
Fuck off roidhead.

>>725127953
He had clips on.

Did waterboy do anything in the bar brawl?

>>725131385
Rest is important. Fit is of two minds on him, but go Mentzer in your strength training (train to ACTUAL failure but rest a complete week between training) and do cardio while recovering. Maybe skip legs so you can perform to a satisfactory degree with your cycling.

>>725131319
NTA but it sounds to me like you’re neglecting some muscle groups over others. Which can lead to some disparity in strength. Do you do chest exercises as much as you do bicep stuff

>>725129353
He's clearly White you retarded spic. Anyway he's around 5'10 and has a lean build. Being some lifter fag isn't part of his wheelhouse

>>725131661
I do legs like once a day? (not really)
Mostly squats 3x3 every other week then deadlift every other week alternating (3x3). My legs always feel heavy damn

>>725125136
unlike you, kiddo.

>>725128513
Pull-ups are more related to being light than strength. Especially if you're starting fat it takes a looooooong time to get to the weight:muscle ratio to make good progress on them.

>>725123453
FPBP

>>725128513
pull ups are just much, much harder than push ups. it's also harder to get to your 1st one if you're fat, tall and/or untrained. you really just have to do negatives until you can do 1 rep, after that it gets easier. doing chin ups is also a little easier

>>725128513
Have you tried that assisted pullups machine? The one where the more weight you put the easier it gets. I weight 207lbs (yeah i'm overweight) and I can do up to 15 pullups if I set the machine to the equivalent to weighting 132lbs. So basically if I weighted the same as an average woman I could do pullups no problem. It helps you improve over time.

>>725131319
>I can't give exact amounts
anon...I...
lets do the math and discover why you aren't growing nearly fast enough
>costco chicken
google says your typical rotisserie chicken has roughly 175g protein
>1/3rd every 3 days or so
>thus eating about 1/9th everyday
175/9 = 19.44g
>1-2 cuts of steak every 2 days
varies but a typical sirloin is roughly 25g protein, 2 over 2 days averages to 1 a day
>oikos yogurt
15g protein

generally speaking, you consume (15+25+19.44) 60g protein every day
you weigh 155lbs, the recommended/minimum g protein for hypertrophy is (bodyweight in lbs) x .75
155x.75=116.25
116.25 - 60 = 56.25
you need to consume 56.25 more grams of protein EVERY SINGLE DAY
this is essentially DOUBLING YOUR PROTEIN INTAKE (if I read what you wrote appropriately)

I'd recommend maintaining the same habit while drinking a protein shake with 2 scoops of gold standard whey protein powder (24g per scoop)

anon if I correctly assessed your eating habits, you REALLY need to start eating more protein
your gains will actually really skyrocket (relatively speaking, within the context of what you currently gain)

Reminder on everyone doing bench press that improving your grip will always give you faster progression and if the bar doesn't rest on your palms it WILL fuck your joints.

>>725131873
Do Biceps/Triceps/Shoulder/Chest/Back to failure once a week, whatever the fuck your choice of exercise is. Lower back is fine if you go for hyperextensions, but no deadlifts.
Don't do leg workouts, you cycle every day so screw strength training for legs.

Also eat more protein. You think you have enough, but just eat 4 eggs and 1 block of feta every day as breakfast addition to your current (hopefully very protein heavy) diet of chicken and rice/beans.

>>725132141
Chin ups are cheats because you can utilize biceps (which are part of the normie training regimen). Stick to pure pullups (with assistance and/or negatives) for sick as fuck back/shoulder gains.

>>725130969
I'm only 175. It was about a decade of regular exercise when I hit this point. After sleep, diet and proper form consistency is the most important thing. Just never stop and one day you'll be fit

5 months of lifting, one month off. Just keep this cycle up

>>725132641
Max protein intake is 0.55 grams of protein per pound of lean bodyweight. Him doubling his protein intake is mostly pointless

>>725133481
You don't eat enough either. Shut the fuck up loser.

>>725123328 (OP)
The point is Robert is weak compared to the actual superpowered people. That and Flambae is an asshole trying to belittle him in the moment, though it is true bench pressing alone is dangerous

Fair enough on the squatting though, even though this scene hardly matters anyway. Don't know why it's getting so much attention.

>>725133481
what experts say varies
I haven't seen a source as low as yours, but generally the recommended intake is .75-1.0g per lb of ideal body weight, which notably our calculations were based on his *current* weigt
I don't want to say you are wrong, but I've never seen a source that low
however, fitness science is a bitch that practically varies week to week

>>725133867
>Don't know why it's getting so much attention.
because

>>725125027
pushups are not the equivalent of bench pressing you retard.
a 165lb dude could easily do 50 pushups but struggle to bench 165lbs because a pushup is not pushing your entire body weight.
pushups push a bit over half your body weight.

cant stand when retards try to talk about fitness but know absolutely nothing about it.

Niggers why aren’t you all talking about THE GAME

>>725134065
>can't licky lick toothjob Flambae's incisor-hole like it's a watering hole after 200km in a hot sweltering desert
this game sucks

gave myself tennis elbow from pull ups recently, taken weeks off hoping the tendon heals. It sucks.

>>725133956
I'm remembering wrong. MINIMUM is 0.55g/lb lean body weight. Maximum is 0.8

>fitness science is a bitch that practically varies week to week
True. The range I mention has worked well for me though

>>725123328 (OP)
Didn't janny delete this thread earlier?

>>725134591
If you used the water he should've lost a tooth. Leaving him with a gap in between.

>>725134710
He did lose a tooth. I was assuming he'd always lose a tooth, but with the new information I was asking whether I could've made him pretty without eyelashes if I used BB's "water" instead.

>>725134606
considering hispanic anon gave estimates such as
>about 1/3rd
>3 days or so
>about 1-2 cuts
if anything hes probably undereating. Thus it would be best if he were to err on the side of overeating (protein) imho
this is assuming his current goal is just for muscular hypertrophy
personally I eat .75g per total lbs, which has worked for me, but admittedly this makes cutting far more difficult

>>725123328 (OP)
there are literally superpowers in the game, why the fuck do you care so much about having a "realistic" lifting scenes?

This is him if you used BB's glass instead.

>>725123851
Are pull ups like these considered legit? That weight distribution with the legs forward makes it look massively easier.

>>725137670
>that they will literally spend thousands of dollars on ergo gear
i realize this doesnt make sense out of context. i mean like 90% of computer use ergo gear like standing desks, vertical mice, weird chairs and the like only exist because nerds have atrophied muscles and weakened bones from decades of not doing anything physical

What are you talking about?

At least for men, doing straight leg pull ups in that good is harder. From an L-sit position she is having to use more of her abs to hold the position and engage the legs. You would have some what of a point if she was flopping like a cross fitter or using it for momentum. But she is keeping her body in a pretty set position which requires more active control and uses more muscles.

The only critique I can really see is the speed as she isn't staying all the way down. But given its full extension and clearly for show, it passes.

I did. I'm just glad I didn't have to ask someone for help. That'd have been hell on earth at 5:30 in the morning.

He didn't really get pinned so much as he just couldn't complete the rep, I thought
I dont know why he tried to up his weight towards the end of his workout either tbf, I always thought it was (brief) warmup, overload, then reduce resistance as you go

>>725127516
>main character is a struggling writer trope
Writers are incredibly faggy

Flambae/Chad has really been growing on me as a character, loved his Morisette cover, it being the chapter outro song caught me by surprise

>>725123328 (OP)
The average person isn't benching even 100 fucking pounds, just like the average person isn't running 1 continuous mile. I actively lift weights, you're out of your goddamn mind. Someone new to the hobby isn't going to know to leave one of the clamps off to drop the weight off the bar.

>>725124801
My point is just that he seems like an arrogant superhuman who doesn't give a shit about proper technique and safety because he isn't particularly in danger. He's strong enough to tank robot punches that would have killed a normal human. That was my read on it at least. Maybe you're right and the animators just don't understand lifting.

>>725128513
When I started exercising I could do like 15 pullups and years after, I am now down to like 8
Then again I also went from 120lb to 160

>>725123328 (OP)
I feel like Robert should have been able to do 185, I'm not very big but I can still do that for a few reps

>>725123328 (OP)
Robert isn't a big guy, he has the build of a twink. Twinks can't lift a lot, they'd struggle to lift 140lbs x 8. I don't know why you're expecting him to lift like he's some 6'4" 250lbs fatass who's been slaving in his basement gym for years.

>>725143275
>twink
You call this a twink?

>>725143445
I stand corrected. OK if he looks like that, he should definitely be able to do 165 x 8, unless injury or extreme fatigue or something.

>>725143543
Well he did end up in a coma for three months plus he's been fighting crimes without powers for years. So I'm sure there's been wear on tear on him over that time.

I can't bench 165. I can barely bench 100 lbs. I have a very weak chest probably because I was a lot fatter a while back and haven't really had time to develop it. I can squat/curl/row a shitload but my bench is terrible.

If you can't bench your own bodyweight as your base then your chest is soft like hamburger meat and you could stand to fill out with some muscle. That's all. Robert is really lean with baby arms but at least he's in shape so I think he's solid for his build. No one is going to walk up trying got punk him. He can scrap

>>725123640
We must be better lifters

>>725143275
Normies are completely retarded when it comes to weight and strength. A fatass benching 225 (his body weight) is as impressive to them as some lean guy benching 225 (1,5 x body weight).

>>725123851
are pull-ups really supposed to be impressive for gymfag larpers? even the average lanky beginner at my judo classes could climb nearly 30 feet of rope with arms only, starting from and holding a sitting position
these were just for warm-up since calisthenics are generally looked down upon when you're trying to actually do something useful with your body

>>725144646
lol
lmao
Pull ups are one of the hardest exercises even if you're fit. Stop trying to talk about shit you know nothing about, you're just embarrassing yourself.

I can never be fit and attractive no matter how hard I try. Never been able to bench more than 180 for reps.
>one day feel a little pain in an area in my back near my shoulder
>now a chronic pain that I feel occasionally at seemingly random times. Even years later, even after taking time off from lifting

>>725132824
Thank you for this. Palm resting felt more comfortable but I was concerned I was doing it wrong.

>>725123328 (OP)
Robert seems like a manlet think, 165 is probably his body weight, maybe even more.
Idk I haven't played the game, I just watch bits that YouTube shoves down my throat and look at these threads.

>>725123640
its not a superiority complex hes right. You loiterally cannot be pinned by that weight. Sure, you cant lift it maybe, but you can definitely roll it off you. Its completely fine.

>>725127205
Every single interesting thing ever written was both about what the writer knew and was passionate about, and profoundly masturbatory in nature.
It is a necessary but not sufficient condition. You might still fail by doing that, as nu-writers exemplify, but if you cater to clueless morons and chase trends then you have already lost. You'll have 0% chance of ever writing anything worth reading.
I don't know what flavor of contrarian kool aid you have drunk, but it is embarrassing that I have to school you in something this evident. Have you even read a good book in your life?

just hang from the bar and try chinups (reverse grip) theyre easier.

>>725143445
Unironically, yes. Ottermode twink.

>>725134392
a... are we gonna make it brah?

>>725144924
uh? well yeah I'm not a gymfag but idk why you pretend it's difficult when you just need not to be fat or bloated with useless muscles
calisthenic fitness is a complete meme, unless your life goal is to achieve monkey tricks like rope climbing

>>725128513
I'm skelemode and I can do like 6 pullups even though I never exercise. Anyone who can't do a single pullup is just fat.

>>725145102
Unless you're specifically trying to be a bodybuilder or strongman or powerlifter, you should worry less about making metal number go up, and just focus on quality reps with weight you can lift comfortably, with good form for the duration of your set. If you're just trying to be "hot," you should also incorporate a lot of cardio and calisthenics, and diet hard. Abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym.

How do you know he wasn't repping that and at like rep 20 or something?

>>725145727
ok well I've been told if you're not constantly making the number go up, you're not pushing progressive overload and so you're essentially not making gains at all

>>725123328 (OP)
This is the sloppiest normieslop thats ever existed, wtf are you doing with your life you little sissy

>>725145102
180 is not that bad, its not amazing but its not really weak
>also pain
may be bad form or too much vegetable oils causing inflammation, but may also just be bad genetics when it comes to lifting heavy weights. shit happens

i'm pretty shit at lifting weights but i've made my peace with it because i do pretty well at cardio as well as hand eye coordination, and i'm pretty smart. it doesn't stop me from building muscle either, it just seems like most of the muscle i have is completely worthless and shit for actually lifting shit

>>725145126
I kinda worded that poorly. It should be at the base of your palm, the force comes out easier and better, never let your wrists fall that shit will kill you.

i have profoundly weak wrists and tiny due to genetics. just extremely thin wrists. no matter how much i try to improve, all the exercises that require a strong grip are just a nightmare for me. i can't progress anymore and have to cheat with straps and all that shit because i simply have a bottleneck that can't be helped with muscle growth. just trying to grab 2x60lbs kettlebells and doing presses with them feels like shit because it hurts my wrists to hold them. feels bad man

>>725144646
Not really impressive. It is just that they follow physics which means the more you weight the harder it is to do. So people with lower body weight will have a far easier time than fatties and bulk weight body builders.

That chick is still pretty fit for the amount of control she is displaying.

>>725145102
>>now a chronic pain that I feel occasionally at seemingly random times. Even years later, even after taking time off from lifting
also desu i dont think you should worry about this shit too much. i have a knee issue that i gained literally like 10 years ago from just running and doing squats too fucking much. it occasionally flares up when i work out and i fail to properly stretch afterwards. it also flares up when i do fuck all with it. i can't stress this enough so i'll put it in spoiler text: it's better to exercise a joint with chronic pain than leave it completely inert[/spoilerl. it recovers faster when you're actually using it and treating it. most of the time, simply leaving it inert creates a bunch of scar tissue around the problem area, and that shit is going to rip off as soon as you stress the joint again.

>>725145865
And what do you think "gains" refers to, exactly? Could it be "gaining" muscle mass? Tone and mass are different things. You can't make the number go up without worrying about good form and technique, anyways, that's why your shoulder hurts. Do you think you'll suddenly shrink and become scrawny if number doesn't constantly go up? Do you think humans are capable of benching thousands of pounds by the end of their lifespans?
You're hurting at 180, so drop back down to 170, maybe even 165 and make sure your form is perfect. When you can get hit fifteen to twenty quality reps at that weight, then make number go up.
If you're only interested in making number go up, you pick a weight you can lift comfortably for eight to twelve reps.
Eventually, regardless of what you do, you'll hit a wall determined by your genes because humans, naturally, can generally only get so big and so buff. That's when dudes start juicing.

>>725146550
can't the average child easily do at least one pull-ups for that reason? I remember doing them for fun in gym classes in middle school or something

>>725123851
>Stsring directly at the camera the entire time

Extremely based. Holy fuck I wanna make her cum

>>725128513
get something to step on and work on the negatives. resist going down as much as you can. you'll get a clean pull up done in 2-3 weeks tops.

>>725146404
>cheat with straps
same boat. it is what it is. train forearms by themselves to compensate.

>>725123328 (OP)

>>725146992
Kids can do them easy. Anyone seen kids scramble up monkey bars witnesses that.

The whole L-sit pose the chick in vid is doing at that level of control not so much w/o practice.
