That's how I can do it now, too. But I'm trying to do it facing the other way so I can eventually kick up without help of the wall.

What does your routine look like? I workout everyday push ups, pull ups and sprints

>>21688
I practice 5 days a week. Mostly pushups and planks for warm-up. Then handstand practice.

>>21703
have you tried the convict condition routine for handstands? It becomes a bit of a cakewalk combined with shoulder/tricep workout

>>21708
I googled convict condition routine handstand but didn't really find anything. I'm making progress, but I think I'm limited by strength.

Stop wearing bras, especially pushup bras.

This will be a long one but it's important.

Back pain is a wholly modern phenomenon and is completely preventable in 99% of cases.

Frankly there are women with bigger boobs than you who do not have any back pain at all. Just stop and think for a minute about why that is: clearly there must be an influencing factor OTHER THAN the breasts that results in back pain.

Did you know men get chronic back pain at around the same rate as women? Starting at around the same ages too? This is despite moids notoriously having no breasts. It's almost like an era of sedentary slobs staring at screens all day is not conducive to proper posture, regardless of sex.

Most women don't even have large breasts anyway, yet EVERYONE gets back pain. BOTH SEXES. So why are we expected to believe big boobs are the problem? It's because quacks can't sell breast reductions to men, that's why.

Thus when men get back pain, they are recommended an actual training regimen to resolve the issue. Meanwhile, when women get back pain, they are instead recommended a fucking Hindu superstition affectionately known as "yoga". Unsurprisingly, yoga doesn't do a fucking thing for back pain, but at least it makes 40 year old white soccer moms feel spiritual. And when yoga unsurprisingly fails to resolve back issues, women are told their only remaining option is to sacrifice part of their femininity to some quack.

So what happens if you get a breast reduction? Breast reductions don't magically make your lifestyle healthier; your back pain will just come back after a few years because the underlying cause is still there, worsening by the year. All it does is delay the pain, only this time without any boobs to speak of.

Women are told by quacks that just being a woman is a fucking problem. That's bullshit when our ancestors who were stronger than us didn't experience this same shit. We're nudged towards mutilating ourselves, masked as "empowerment", because it's more profitable than embracing healthy living.

Needless to say but you do not need to brutalize these muscle groups at the gym. If you want to get rid of back pain, then just train these muscle groups to the baseline competence they would've have on any woman in pre-internet society.

>>21704
My final word on this for now: this is a regimen that is intended to be cancelled. This isn't a lifelong thing you have to dedicate yourself to forever. Once you have restored basic muscular competence, it's done: your only responsibility will be to maintain good posture. If your posture is good then just existing will be sufficient exercise to be able to stand up straight. And good posture should be second nature after ditching bras anyhow.

big if true o.o

Why does my dad do this …im overweight working towards normal wt but my dad keeps forcing me to eat saying im not healthy and other stupid shit …him and my mom both are overwt and obese respectively and they wont listen to me ….I think he is just jealous of my progress because there was a time I was the fatest in the house and he used to make fun of me

>>21693
Sorry, that sucks. Sounds like he has a crabs in a bucket mentality.

I ended up walking a lot over the weekend and waunders my calorie limit both days despite eating lots of treats. Yay!

Start with the seven minute workout.

>>21671
the only true answer kek

The impression of strength actually comes from low body fat which is really bad for someone with such high muscle mass. It looks scary because it's absolutely not natural, most of them get illnesses from living that way.

Olympic weightlifters, powerlifters, strongmen all spend their time just lifting heavy stuff to lift heavier stuff, their bodies look fat with muscle underneath ( they watch their diet but still eat a lot ). They also require mental strength because of the risk of injury lifting heavy stuff up, if you wanna watch something worse than a horror film you should look at weightlifting injuries.

Powerlifters also have to wear a belt to restrain their insides while doing deadlifts, because otherwise their spine would break or something, really impressive stuff.

Today was good. Just drank a lot of coffee instead of thinking about food. I'm trying to find a balance.

>>21653
I found when I was dieting really hard that coffee with a splash of milk held me over for a long time.

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh cant stop eating candies my birth control has gave me an insane sweet tooth!!!1111 thank god ive yet to gain im still at 98 punds but im so scred

17.04.25
Slept through breakfast. Lunch was balanced. Juice no sugar in the evening. Idk if I want oats for dinner or a proper meal.

20.4.25
Ate good today. Protein goal met fibre goal not </3. My tolerance for coffee has increased lol

>>20950
How about you don't go into a thread about pregnancy to post your doomer made up propaganda next time?

>>20943
Also keep in mind those tests have a certain time while they're good for reading.
Mine always said the reading is not valid after it sits for a while.

>>20943
nona if you're still here, i recommend looking into dr. ray peat's principles. progesterone is really important for implantation and natal health, if you're low progesterone you should start supplementing baby aspirin or just plain progesterone drops. avoid estrogenic things like seed oils. eat lots of fruits, honey, fruit juices, eggs, dairy, and protein. don't stress out, that's the most important thing. good luck

>>20951
idk my parents had me in their late thirties and I did not turn out well

>>21442

I just like meat. Simple as.

>>21338
That's really petty and sad, ngl.

>>21300
I went vegan in January. It's a little tough hitting my protein goals without cottage cheese and similar things, but it's worth it.

>>21313
I really don't care about the taste of meat but honestly animal products are just irreplaceable in the convenience of its nutrients. You need like double the size of anything vegan to hit similar milestones on proteins and fats. It just becomes gross to eat and cook that much.

Been eight years for me, and it's honestly super easy. I spend very little on food as I buy dry pulses (beans, lentils, etc.) and fresh local vegetables are cheap here. I've gotten way better at cooking, since my options eating out got reduced. I have a much better relationship with food and I actually know what I'm eating; plus I feel healthier.

I don't think everyone needs to be vegan, but high-plant diets are just good by any measure.

The back is gorgeous.
I need dresses like this to be on Say Yes To The Dress etc etc

The veil…

I like how the photos have different filters where each a seperate vibe and the dress goes with all of them.

Beautiful. Love wedding dresses.

>What's their secret?

healthy habits. doing stuff all day long, exhausting yourself, eating real food that your body has the ability to digest, not being a monster to others or yourself.

when you eat candy or drink coffee and work a job that pays you good but fucks others over, that's you practicing unhealthy habits, that's the opposite, that's you waiting in line to have problematic health which inevitably results in problematic hair.

Genes. Its literally just that.
Healthy habits my ass lol. But also no they dont " don't need to brush it, use conditioner, or buy super expensive products". They do use stuff just cheap simple ones like rubbing coconut oil or sth. Aside from brushing; if you dont have completely straight hair you should probably stop brushing constantly. My mom taught me this habit and it ruined my hair for 20 first years of my life. So I only brush occasionally now and my hair splits and frizzes much less I just curl four big batches around my finger after washing and the drying does the rest.

Mixed with boiling water.

Np!

I tried quitting coffee once and the very next day I got 3 hours of sleep so I was right in front of of the keurig again and ever since.

>>21676
Ever since I have thought of quitting coffee I have started to drink it more …maybe its the exams or I have tricked myself into something …maybe I should just get non stimulating adhd meds

>>21680
The real solution is a consistent sleep schedule but that's like the one thing almost no one can do without significant discipline. I also heard working out makes you more energetic but I'm too tired to exercise so it's a vicious cycle.

>>21681
I like exercising and coffee helps me do it…I can work on the sleep thing ig
