Why does he always do the same retarded pose with his left arm

Because he's retarded. /s
TIL Jason Genova threads are honestly the cancer destroying /fitness/.
Pic totally unrelated.
My wife isn't losing weight fast enough and she is compromising her long term health (diabetes, thyroid, hairloss, etc...). We have two daughters. 3 and 1.
She was 155 when i met her and perfect since i like some thiccc. She could have lost 5 lbs but no big deal.
Its been about 3 years since I requested she lose weight via very subtle queues like "hey lets join a gym honey!". Ieven bought a $700 elliptical, weights, punching bags, jump ropes. She never touched the shit for more than a week.
Since then and over time i have mentioned it more and more curtly. Every single way you can imagine between joining a gym and today with gloves completely off:
"you are fat bitch. You are literally obese and have to see a doctor"
She has been saying "im trying, i need time" for the last three years. She had a 3 month window after each birth where i wouldn't ask anything.
She is 5'7 and about 180lbs today. Three years ago she was 190 something after the baby. She never lets me see her weight anymore or records it.
She says she is eating healthy but won't keep a diary. She also goes to the gym once a week but wont show me a diary or accept a workout plan. She says she uses an app. Ok. She can go everyday if she wants but she is "always exhausted".
In comparison, i lost 30 pounds in 35 days late last year. Im now 6'2 and 205lbs @ 10% BF. Hardly huge but not dyel. I did all of this to give her an example to follow. Trying to make it easy. The weight i lost is the same amount of weight i want her to lose. She never once mentioned this shit. Didnt even notice.
For a year or so she has been challenging me with a divorce when i bring her weight up. She says I think she is ugly and I dont like anything about her. Of course i dont. I love her. It's like she just wants to be obese. Like she really expects a secret prize for being fat or something.
I wanted to get some other opinions of the situation to remain sane in judgement.
How wrong am I?
>>42406827
your approach is all wrong. you can't force anyone to do anything.
if it means that much then dip out of there bro but if you love her you need to treat her with respect. clearly you've made your point across to her that you'd like her to lose weight. well now that she knows that just love her unconditionally and treat her as well as you would if she were skinnier, and watch her lose weight out of guilt.
>this is literally how people work
>>42406827
maybe you're not hitting her right. what are you using to hit her with?
>>42406894
I've already tried that. It just makes her think i no longer think she should lose weight. At least, that is what i assume since all fatloss activity ceases for months.
>shoulder DOMS
>DOMS where I bend my forearm from my elbow so it's too painful to fully extend my arms
>mfw I can only walk around like this
>Leg doms every time you sit down
>>42406356
This.
Also, for some reason, I never get shoulder DOMS. Today I pressed 90lb for reps for the first time and I don't feel pain at all.
So /fit/izens, how is your self improvement going? Been reading books, working out, or something else? Feel free to come here and talk about it.
I'm feeling pretty good, lost about 20 pounds so far (197 to 177) and biked 12 miles today.

I didn't think it was that big of a deal lol.
I work as a computer programmer, so my key for productivity has been to master the Keyboard:
- Full usage of all fingers with ergononic movements and positions for writting and common operations.
- Windows shortcuts for management of desktop and its windows.
- Shortcuts for text management, like Ctrl + Del to delete words.
- Mastering of programming development like ReSharper.
It is all going well so far!

pre workout even though I go to bed after gym?
I lift 3x/week and try to avoid caffeine other than pwo
How should I keep track of weight/reps at the gym
Should I carry a notepad and pencil like a total autist or is there any good app that would work?
>>42403592
excel app is obviously goat
>>42403520
Is there any website with meal templates? like you introduce the desired macros and/or kcals and it pops up?

Would you date a musclefu possibly on the rons?
>>42402519
Yeah, why not? You only live once.
They tend to have stinky breath. Probably dehydration from intense cardio + low sodium diets.
Other than that theyre alright.
>>42402519
No because I'm not subconsciously gay.
6 years ago today we lost our good friend Aziz, who tragically passed away at the young age of 22.
Today we dedicate our thoughts and our workouts to Aziz and his family.

If women really like muscle then why does my mom always say that i am getting to muscular? Seriously what is it with moms that they dont like their son getting big and always think its "too much"?
Women subconsciously try to destroy strong(willed) men.
Say 'okay, mom.' Then laugh and continue. Don't ever listen to women

Fuck. Jason has the same midsection as me now.
I have a shoulder issue which hurts when I do barbell bench press, so I was wonder what my options are. I can do dips just fine but I feel like it mostly works triceps.
As a note, it doesn't hurt when I do dumbbell bench press, but I'm too weak to properly set up my working weight with dumbbells.
>>42413569
>I'm too weak to properly set up my working weight with dumbbells.
What.
>>42413569
>but I'm too weak to properly set up my working weight with dumbbells.
what?
FYI: if you barbell bench 200, you don't use two hundred pound dumbbells for dumbbell benching. I mean, if you actually can do that, go for it, but usually people go a lot lighter on dumbbell bench.
I can bench 195 for 5, I use 40lbs dumbbells for my db bench
>>42413569
>I'm too weak to properly set up my working weight with dumbbells.
What the fuck did he mean by this?
Yesterday i barely got 3 reps that felt super hard with a weight I benched for 8 reps two days before.
How do you deal with it? Are weak days only the result of accumulated fatigue, or are there other possible causes?
I ate the same i always eat, slept like always, etc... I don't get it
Maybe you didn't let your chest fully recover from your last workout.
Overtraining
Could be overtraining, could be recent undereating , could be just a classic weak day. Don't let it get to you.
>be me
>started working-out and diet two weeks ago
>i lost 6 kg (i was 80 kg)
>according to internet i should loose 1 kg per week
Am I doing it wrong? Too fast?
btw 1 kg = 2,2 lbs
Water weight mostly. You gotta figure that you've got about 3-5lbs of water weight that you'll los when you're cutting and gain when you're bulking.
So it is perfectly normal, thanks anon
Well how do you look now m8
