What are /r/swoleacceptance's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

If thou uses a phone of robots and not one of fruits, I point you to Fitnotes (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.github.jamesgay.fitnotes). It requires no permissions and does not seek to swolest your personal data, but only to record and report your gains.

Brother, learning how to sleep is as important as learning perfect form on the holiest of prayers, the lift of the dead. I,too, use to suffer as you and I found my remedy was quite simple. All this azure and blue light from our computers and screens on our hand held portals to the internet will keep you awake. To our brain, the blue light reminds of the Sun, which Brodin hoists in the air for the day, and does a concentric negative squat and pauses to make night. I use a program on my magic typing machine called f.lux https://justgetflux.com/ And on my portable portal I use an app called Twlight (nothing to do with the skinny praising swole oppressing movie of the same name.) Good luck brother, Wheymen.

My swolemaiden just recently blessed me with this:

I look forward to offering my prayers to Brodin in this shirt, even if I am only a 155lb fledgling.

I believe this was followed up in book 5 of the Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle while discussing how since squats are a virtue, they are an active condition of the swole and lead along the path to eudaimonia.

I'm at work so I will spare the Brodinspeak till another time. If you are on Android, download this app. I don't know if it exists for iPhone, but it has literally everything you need to start down the path of Iron. For a small upgrade (around 5-8 dollars? I don't remember) you can customize your workouts and get a few more features, but the base app has the two workouts you cycle through, which are;

Workout 1:

Squat

Bench

Rows

Workout 2:

Squat

Overhead Press

Deadlifts

The app also features highly detailed instructional videos on exactly how each exercise is performed, why, and what you might expect to get in terms of results. The description of the app on Google Play says exactly what it does; "The StrongLifts 5x5 workout app is like having a personal strength and muscle building coach in your pocket. The app guides you through every StrongLifts 5x5 workout. It shows you which exercise to do each workout, with how much weight, how long to rest between sets and a lot more. This takes the guess work out of your training so you can focus on lifting!"

The app is however shaped towards classical stronglifting and focused on strength, not size, just so you know. If you want to lift to get big you can do the same exercises but instead of 5x5 do like 3x12 instead.

May Brodin guide your path, Wheymen

This. The mind works with the body. I've been there too. Still am.

Do you know what the BMI is? It's based on two things: height and weight. If you are so tall, you should weigh so much, etc. Here's the thing you need to know and you need to remind your doctor...MUSCLE WEIGHS MORE THAN FAT! This is like first year medical school shit, godammit.

The BMI might be helpful for the average sedentary non athletic population, who needs a rough guide on how to avoid heart disease and diabetes, but not for anyone who knows enough to track macros and exercise properly. In fact, the AMA, one of the most conservative medical journals, published a study in the past couple years that people who were "overweight" on the BMI scale were healthier in all fucking respects than those who were "normal" or "obese". But we'll still all be getting shit about our BMI scores for the next 50 years because that's how the medical field is.

If you want to wear size small shirts and skinny jeans at, let me get this straight, 5 feet 11 inches, it is certainly your choice. Do crossfit or something. But strength requires muscle and muscle requires space on your skeleton and fuel from your diet. As Mark Rippetoe likes to ask, "Does a larger engine slow the car down?"

Power Clean and Press 5x5.

If you're not trying to inhale ALL the air by the time you're done, you're not lifting hard enough.

(Serious note: HIIT shows promise RE: fat loss without muscle loss. linky )

I acquired my Piccobro shirt on Amazon and removed the sleeves as Piccobro would desire. Praise Brodin.

Looks as if they also have Broku shirts and sleeves could be also removed...

Truly the glowing slab is full of distractions. Were it not extremely useful in aiding my prayers and communicating with my brothers and sisters, I would denounce it as a tool of Broki.

Heed brother /u/BrosusChessiah 's advice and set a timer, friend. If you follow the Way of Android, I recommend Ovo. The spinning motion gives me mad thumb gainz and it's easy to rep timers, say in sets of 5.

I just got a pair of these shorts after seeing them recommended in a different sub. I went one size up than what I usually wear and 10/10.

I have etched my current lifts onto my glowing tablet using this script and it calculated everything out for me.

You start by studying the book of brodin here

If you have an android phone, the Daily Brodin app is also very useful for daily prayer.

At your young age of iron prayer, i think you should try a linear strength program and really utilize your growth and potential.

The stating strength linear program will give you fantastic results (if you follow the program). The book is under $30on Amazon. Its straightforward to follow and I highly recommend it.

I got it on Amazon Canada. Seems good so far. They sell it in several lengths. After having g it a day, it seems like a great deal for the price.

I don't seem to be able to get the tank tops available straight away - but maybe you'll be interested in the swole maiden variant?

I have a home gym and I opted to use thisFitness Reality Multi-function, Adjustable Power Rack Squat Stand with J-Hooks, landmine, and weight storage attachment (2809) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084P72GYX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_S9EP9B8VZZVZ9NV9ZZQA?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 squat rack since Rogue is rather pricey. With a 800lb frame capacity and safeties included, $250 is hard to beat. So far I haven’t had any stabilities issues. Highly recommend.

I scoured the lands, through many valleys and frequently was told by soothsayers and breathern that my weakness was TI bands or my LCL. But nay! This explanations, much like a soothsayer reading stars and horoscopes, only partially fit my puzzle but neverthless left me puzzled still.

And then lo, I stumbled upon https://youtu.be/URP-zMbryEc and it explained much! Praise be to Brodin, when next I humbly visited his temple I did as asked and I was blessed with many gainz.

Brodin did not create me in his likeness to continue my ignorant ways. So I did continue my quest for more lore in the dungeons at the Tube of You. And I hunted for armor within the dangers of the Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011PYZNRE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_1vcDCbJC7S345

And the gainz! They were a glory to behold my friend! Praise be to Brodin!

Before thine imparts more gold to healers, take a look at this. No magic, stretches and exercise with bells of iron. Wheymen.

Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff https://www.amazon.com/dp/1642376450/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_pOU3DbZQQXQYF

I wager you have heard of it, brother though perhaps not in my manner:

https://www.amazon.com/Starting-Strength-Basic-Barbell-Training/dp/0982522738&ved=2ahUKEwimif_TocTZAhVI0YMKHfyBB7UQFjAgegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw0nPyfCrfWqqb4CRSL494ug

/u/gunslinger_006 linked them! https://www.amazon.com/Inov-8-Fastlift-Weight-Lifting-Thyme-Orange/dp/B00QTCZ69S/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1479859380&sr=8-4&keywords=inov-8+fastlift+335

They were affordable (~100USD) and show no signs of wear. I've owned them for about 6 months now. My previous pair of lifting shoes was a knock-off chinese brand that tore off of the sole, but these ones are solid.

It looks good for a start, but I wouldn't recommend putting any real weight on them. I've seen people move power racks when reracking weight and I can't imagine those will hold well over 100 lbs.

Maybe save up and get something like this?

From my experience there are two viable options:

1) Buy those super comfy long boxer briefs, the ones that go almost to your knee.

2) Be uncomfortable until you blow out the elastic on the legs of your Hanes.

Nike ProCombat briefs are my fav, they are pretty expensive so unfortunately I only have one pair as of now ... along with a lot of ruined boxer briefs.

These ones

I personally acquired my own implements from Brodin's Building (Bodybuilding.com) however I note that the Amazonians offer similar implements to my own for only $10 (Amazon) with free shipping if a Prime friend of their tribe. Other than being a Captain of Crush, any recommendations for grip training for endurance?

yeah, it goes in any door frame.

it looks exactly like this, but all black.

Absolutely. Believe it or not, it's from a diet book co-written by the great Alan Aragon.

The diet/meal plan is pretty common sense IIFYM stuff, nothing ground breaking. But the workout program is solid and very well balanced. A good mix of strength, hypertrophy, conditioning, calisthenics and strongman stuff. Also it's a bitch, great for beginners, novices and even intermediate lifters might get something out of it.

I apologize it's not a free link. If you PM me I could try to type out the actual routine or send screenshots.

Greetings Brother! Perhaps this might help you on your divine quest for swoleness.

http://www.amazon.com/Orgain-Organic-Protein-Plant-Based-Chocolate/dp/B00J074W94/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1445317036&sr=8-1&keywords=Organic+protein

If you lift in rep ranges less than 10 (like you should be doing), then there's only one thing you need to know about creatine: Take it.

This cheap-ass stuff is everything you need in a creatine supplement. It has worked wonders for me and has lasted about 4 months (that's including two loading phases).

Brother, fear not, and do not abandon your quest for The Meal of Brodin, both delicious and warm. You need only a superior means to carry such a meal, and this I have, and can speak from experience, will keep your food warm and waiting, until your meal time arrives. Good luck, and may His Gainz Be Upon You.

This one is my go to protien mix.

The only problem with this brand is that it has gotten quite expensive in the past couple of years.

Praise be to Brodin.
