I just started to workout. I swim often and I do have some athletic background. Yet I cant do:
>1 fucking pistol squat
>Can barely do 1 single arm push up
>Can barely do 1 single arm pull up
>cant do a dragon flag
>cant do a fucking L-sit
>Dont fucking understand how to do them fucking turkish get ups
>Im a skeletor
>Tried to each as much junkfood as I could, never counting calories
>Didnt gain a single lb
Yeah I just started working out, but still hurts to not be able to do some exercises I have always wanted to do (dragon flag mostly...)
On the upside:
>Routine I made for myself has been going great
>Decided to add 1 rep to push ups, dips, and rows in each session
>Hurts, but I can do it
>feels great
>For the first 2 weeks, my abs were fcuked up, sore for the next day
>Now, they arent even that sore after the workout
>Planning on doing progression to THAT FUCKING DRAGON FLAG
A little bit of good feels, and a little bit of bad feels. Thats life. Feels thread /fit/

almost all those bodyweight skills require dedicated and specific training to achieve
>>
Pistol squats are more form than anything. Dragon flags are more repetition same for L sits. Just do flags and l sits at the end of your workout and by November you should be able to do them decently.
For dragon flags do 1 leg at first and not both outstretched. put one foot behind your other knee and do the repetition..it's easier then when your abs get stronger you can use both legs
>>
Stretching your hamstrings is the easiest way to improve L-sit
Im complete shit physique but I can put my palms flat on the ground with straight knees so L-sit is ezmode, dont have to fight against those tight legs.

Every nutrition blog I find seems to be either vegan anti-meat , or low carb anti-vegan.
It seems to be the consensus among scientists that eating lots of saturated fat and cholesterol is a bad idea and eating lots of greens, but I'm not sure if dairy or lean meats are healthy.

Start reading nutrition journals, not blogs.

What this guy said. Read studies and journals. Also make sure the studies aren't founded by meat & dairy industries, there are numerous biased studies funded by big corporations.
And no, there's no such thing as big-broccoli or big-soy. If something is recommending you to eat plant-based/vegan, it's usually because it's superior for your health.

Help fit I can't seem to put on any mass, I work out biceps 3 times a week and drink 2 big protein shakes per day and my arms are still skinny after 90 days of bulking.
What am I doing wrong?

Stop being a retard, and don't just do arms. Don't even fucking do arms at all.
If that is really you, you have zero muscle. Do compounds.
>>
>>42146338
Don't be a fucking curlbro. Do all body. Also arms 3 days a week depending on your routine could be over training.

Today's food
breakfast
>oatmeal and banana
lunch
>spinach, almonds, blueberries, cup of yogurt
dinner
>grilled perch with brussel sprouts
snack
>slice of cheese and a can of tuna
I'm at less than 1400 calories for today which is great. The problem is that I had four liters of coke zero (two 2 liters)
How do I not do that?

when you're thinking about drinking Coke Zero, do something else
or just drink water, damn.

>How do I not do that?
How do you have self control? Well, gee, just ask anonymous strangers on the internet to give you the magical pill that makes all your problems go away. This instant gratification pill will give you the will power to stick to your diet and never ever fuck it up.
jk it's all willpower you baby bitch. never gonna make it.

Drinking that much soda is fucked up. Stop buying it, man. That's absolutely not normal behavior, and regardless of debate on the impact of artificial sweetener there is no way that much can be healthy.

I was wondering if you fags can give me a workout routine using the following items
>pullup bar
>incline bench
>barbell for deadlifts
>dumbbells
most guides online with dumbells seem to be dumbell only guides, Im looking for something that can incorporate all of these things into a weekly regiment.

Explain how diuretic effects work
Does the water used to make my coffee/the water in beer become useless? how much water do I have to drink to counter the effects?

I don't know about beer, but the net effect from coffee is still +water, you don't have to drink any water to compensate
Is there a limit to how much protein will actually benefit you, assuming your work outs are of infinite intensity

Hey /fit/ i've been using a bodyweight program where i gradually increase my pushups, situps, squats up to a total of 250 each in some amount of time (app won't let me see how long until i get to the day).
Week 6 day 2 I did 150 pushups, situps, and squats
I'm getting close to the end and after that what should I do? More insane pushups working up to aztec or with resistance bands or should I just leave my house and lift weights?

Yo, /fit/
Been dieting and working out seriously for the past month. Started an actual lifting routine about 2 weeks ago. Excess body fat is melting off and lifts are slowly increasing.
How long until the self loathing and insecurities go away? I was told that lifting would fix all my problems.

Sort yourself out. That may or may not include lifting.
