Alright guys. Justed started Wing Chun. 180cm 73kgs Been taking Dymatize Super Mass Gainer for about 3/4 weeks gain 3ish kilos thus far. I go gym Friday nights. Train wing chun which is pretty much cardio i think. Mondays, Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.
This is my goal.
Advice questions are welcome.
Funny that the Pic you posted isnt from donnie's ip man 1+2 ^^ where he used wing chun
I'm not immune to get shredded get bitches mentality.

yeah
I am going to have to try that. Although I have a feeling my shoulder flexibility will be problematic. I'm guessing you can do slightly more weight low-bar due to the shorter lever length of your torso?
I think so. I purposedly placed the bar even lower than I usually do cause my squat is "quad" dominant and I tend to go foward with really heavy weights (goodmorning like), so my technique is a lot smoother and better with the barbell there.
For shoulder flexibilty everyone should be doing "shoulder dislocates" at least 4 times a week.
Also my night was quite epic, as moderation in alcohol and weight lifting sucks.
memegenerator not working so, imagine drunk bachelor frog between the lines.

Oh boy.
Just find out I spent 300 bucks on booze and lost my credit card. Oh boy...
Took a longer break than I really wanted to. After last week I wound up getting sick in the middle of the week but thought it would be a good idea to grind through a light weight / high volume lifting day anyway and see if my stomach got any better.
I forget the technical term for it, but because my stomach hurt so much (it got worse after lifting) I started compensating in other ways, so my back has been really rickety now from constantly being doubled over with stomach pain LoL. I feel like I'm finally past it though.

It involved a whole apple pie. My stomach is only mildly amused, to say the least.

I really don't think that would do much whatsoever. Your tendons will get stronger if you keep using the same hand.
I've been reading a lot on it, and it doesn't seem like a very common injury if you're doing proper deadlift technique. Some sources were saying that you get severe pain if there is that much pain on the tendon so if you feel a large pain in your bicep don't fight it. People on the youtube vid were saying that it is likely the result of steroid use, but I wont get into that.
There's no real way you're going to strengthen that part of your arm for the deadlift using other exercises. Doing 60-70lb bicep curls aren't holding nearly as much weight as a heavy deadlift. The other alternative is to always use a overhand grip, some power-lifters actually do, there are videos of 900lb+ overhand grip deadlifts, although others say it's very painful using the overhand grip for their highest weights.
I think I'll just stick to overhand grip for my two warm ups (50% and 75% of DL weight) and be careful on the last set.
Do alternate them, to avoid muscle imbalances. Its ok if you do not alternate the last week of a 12 week cycle and you are going for a 1 rep max obv.
Also, to avoid that bicep tear, just keep your triceps pulling hard.

I realize there is a ridiculous disparity here. My question is whether I should just stop working out my chest for a little while and get those other exercises up to par? Also, I think I hurt my chest a little last time(I was a little sick at the time, but felt fine. Just a lot of coughing and some slime in my throat) It's at the side of my chest, marked with yellow on the picture It doesn't really hurt except when i stretch out my arm (and also when i then pull it back). Even then it doesn't hurt a lot. 3 or 4 on the pain scale I guess. Is there any alleviating exercises? And if I should postpone my chest workout regarding the injury?
Ok so thus far my diet has consisted mostly of beef, potatoes and veggies. On workout days i feel like I'm stuffing myself, doing my largest meal at lunch because I do the lg early morning workout. I don't know if I could eat more.
Now, I was using an app to keep track of my kalorie intake. In this app, I was told that 500g of mashed potatoes equalled about 300g of carbs. Recent intel suggests that this is bullshit, and that potatoes provide maybe a fifth of that (500g = 60-70 carbs). So, fucking fuck fuck, I guess I haven't been eating nearly enough carbs for about 2 months. There is no way I can eat five times as many carbs as my current diet. Maybe double if I want to hate myself.
So, advice, please: how do I eat 400g of carbs in a 8 hour window? Proteins are relatively easy, I wuv meat, but who do I trust on the nutritional value of potatoes?
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

any type of fruit (preferrably banana or mango), honey, milk, donuts... anything with sugar! or white rice 400g carbs seems like a lot.. you sure thats right?

Cannot help you with the injury stuff there, but to stop working on your chest just because your Deadlift and Squat are bad seems like a dumb idea, you obviously wanna catch up by being strong all around and not by making your bench weaker. Imbalances such as these don't cause any problems, besides that you may look stupid (I just recently recognized a guy with a massive upper body in my gym, who has literally chicken legs. When I meet him in the locker room, I want to yell at him - don't be that guy ). Just make squatting and deadlifting the top-priority in your programming for a while and keep benching.

I take it you're doing Leangains? What really helps me hit ~400 carbs is milk (2L+) and potatoes in the big PW meal and later on in the day rice.
