Bro I’ve been trying to improve my form and yes it does kinda help
It helps so much omg, just ego lift your lat pulldown jfl, My rep starts like halfway down, I probably pull like 10-14 inches per rep but it leads to pretty much only lat involvment

I was aw watching a TikTok about it and decided to actually focus on form once and yea it’s nice
 
All of this while eating 1500 calories daily and like 80 grams of protein. Your form matters so much I don't know how to stress it.
cap+ u didnt go to failure most likely also eat more protein also why only 1500 calories

wdym by ego lift, lat pulldown should be done with a straight or hollow back with 0 swing and pull it down in frontal or sagittal plane that is tucked elbows to bias upper lat fibers or flared out to bias lower lat fibers and uptill ur neck is enough
 

u didnt go to failure most likely
I did, I'm very eager in going to failure in all my sets
also eat more protein also why only 1500 calories
My mental strength is weak, I want candy not meat

I'm cutting so I can lower bf
have you been trenning hard and testing your limits
Yeah very, my form for lat pulldowns was just mostly bicep, I hardly saw any lat growth in the 2 months I did them until now.

I meant more ego lifting in the ROM area, I would never swing that's retarded, I usually pull down towards my lip instead of neck, My biceps take over due to less lat leverage and the fact my biceps are much stronger then my last.

agreed, pulling is subjective
 
your form is probably terrible if u went up by 15kg in 2 weeks ngl

i went up by 10kg in like 2 or 3 months
My previous form was quite bad, in terms of my current form I doubt it's bad due to the fact I've seen much more lately growth since changing it

I'll continue my current form for a bit to see if I continue to get the lat stimulus I've been getting and then try more rom,

how much weight do u lift
Yeah natty 15 years old, rn I lat pulldown 85kgs. Ive lifted for around 10 months but usually skipped out in lats till like 3 months ago jfl
 
k2+d3, magnesium glycinicate, fish oil, vitamin C, zinc, B complex.
fish oil is bad for u, why supplement vitamin c, one or two oranges is more than enough, vitamin c supplementations are useless, magnesium glycinicate beneficial, zinc why not eat red meat, u dont need d3 supplementation even 1 hr of sun per day is enough, B complex sure
 
fish oil is bad for u,
Why so?
why supplement vitamin c, one or two oranges is more than enough
more calories though
, vitamin c supplementations are useless
I see
magnesium glycinicate beneficial, zinc why not eat red meat
My mom is vegetarian and my parents won't let me buy meat for myself, I eat red meat for dinner if I'm lucky but it's not always available
, u dont need d3 supplementation even 1 hr of sun per day is enough
I suppose, I struggle with leaving the house at times so I prefer to take it in case
, B complex sure
 
its better to eat the whole fish since it has vitamin E to offset the lipid peroxidation of the fish oil, its a long concept @Mandy?


more calories though
2 oranges barely 200 calories+ u get some fructose, minerals and vitamin B1

woah then in that case i get u
I suppose, I struggle with leaving the house at times so I prefer to take it in case
why so if i may ask

Very interesting, I'll look into it
Fish should be easier to get aswell.

Alright, this has been educational thank you.
woah then in that case i get u

why so if i may ask
Depressive episodes and dysmorphia, I don't like being around many people and I live in a very active area. I take walks occasionally but I dislike heat and bugs which are also plentiful in my area
 
I remember I only was able to do 100 lbs but I can do 170 lbs now. Also having a good lat pull-down machine helps so much. The one at pf is sooooo good. It looks like you’re pulling less weight but its because they have two pulley system that makes everything so uniform

Yes. Generally raw fresh fish is the unoxidized state has the astaxanthin that spans the lipid belayer alongside the fatty acids. EPA shields DHA from having ANY radical exposure,rendering the idea that it’s easily oxidized by itself as on-paper myth. DHA directly upregulates the GPX4 gene,causing the GPX4 enzyme to synthesize more Glutathione peroxidase upon its binding to further protect the fatty acid.
 
Fish oil is generally oxidized before reaching your store’s shelf,it dosent take long for regular room temperature to slowly degrade the fatty acids DHA and EPA. even if it was fresh off manifacture,the process of making fish oils takes high heat which immediately oxidizes the vulnerable fatty acids. Even if it was used with some cold extraction method,again,it only takes a few days in warm room temperature for that pill to just be a free radical supplement.
