Alright guys, i need some advice. I'll be on holiday for about for weeks soon, so i'll be completely gymless. What bodyweight exercises can you recommend to still make gains?
>>41876059
How about enyoing your vacation? You can make gains again afterwards
Do you wear compression shorts by themselves?
Depends on how developed your quads are

How do I lose weight? But with losing the least amount of muscle. Help me, brehs from /fit/.
keto and fasting.
the more carbs you eat, the more muscle you will lose.
also lift on eating days.
Take a knife, and cut out your day and leave the muscle. This shit isn't science, bro.
Sometimes when I lift my joints are clicking and it doesn't sound healthy. It's mostly knees and shoulders. I also crack my finger joints a lot (even though I'm trying to stop) so maybe I'm prone to that kind of stuff.
Should I do something about it and if so what?
>that friend who just started lifting, is horrendous at it and doesn't listen to your advices so you end up rejoycing about the whole situation because the results of his """training""" will probably end up being hilarious

>that """friend""" that roots against your success and well-being rather than being patient enough for you to realize your mistakes
How come everyone of /fit/ says they're over 6ft tall but in reality very few people are they height?
Are all you cloud punchers in the same room or something?
>>41875733
quiet, manlet.
6ft is average male height
>>41875745
No it's not, and no i won't spoon feed you all the articles that prove it's not, you can look them up yourself, you are a "big" boy now.
Its one of those days when I feel hyped as fuck
What is going on
Give me your energy. Quitting caffeine for a bit because I burned myself out.

How do i stop being constantly hungry? Im literally either eating, sleeping, or smoking.
been gaining a lot of weight recently and I wanna cut down but i hate exercise so i decided to stop eating as much but i simply can't
any tips on how to stop/decrease cravings?
you "hate exercise"?
>>41875661
Count your calories, know how much you really need, and then just power through it. Eventually your cravings will get weaker. Stop being a faggot.
>tfw deadlifts after heavy squats
>tfw that tight feeling in your lower back, glutes, and hamstrings
>Not enjoying it.
Never gonna make it.
I've never worked out. I'm a hungry skeleton and I want to start working out to actually feel better about my body and feel healthy, stronger. Started eating more and actually gaining weight. There's a gym that opened near me, got great reviews and i'd be able to get a membership for for a very cheap price overall because of friends. Would it be a mistake to instantly jump into going to the gym? Should I go for very basic exercises first, like yoga or starting strength thing and only then go for the gym?
>>41875637
just go and do something. you can do all exercises as long as you do them right.
When you're a beginner you need to focus on form a lot, because sedentary people are shit at moving correctly. You can do SS or any other beginner program. Eat enough protein and eat enough calories
This is a common bad mindset that new people that want to get fit have. If you can afford it, theres nothing wrong with going to the gym at all. Make sure to ask or pay a trainer to look after you for a month and you will be golden. Yoga is great for stretching, but id rather mix gym and swimming if I was starting from 0 again
>>41875637
Hungry Skeleton... whats are your stats? Age, Height, Weight
How often are you planning on going to the gym?
What does your diet consist of? How many calories? How much protein?
TL;DR version: lifting noob, fucked up my back somewhat, can't keep the fucker straight. How do I improve this?
So I'm on my second month of lifting (SL, never done any kind of training in my entire life before, just dieted down from being a total lardass but still a bit overweight) and I'm currently stalling everywhere. Today was especially horrible, I think I somewhat fucked up my back at lmao~1.3pl8 squats. I try to keep it somewhat straight but at the first rep of the fourth set I kinda moved a bit too much forward and couldn't even get up anymore. Now my back hurts a bit (especially when trying to get up from a lying position) and I probably can't do shit for some time.
Now my main issue is probably that I never trained for anything in my entire life and I have trouble keeping my back straight. It always ends up arching somewhat. This is especially noticable when doing rows or DLs as it always gets rounded. I try to control it by doing some things like sticking my chest out and trying to "bend" the bar but it barely helps. Since my apparently inflexible back also affects every other lift somewhat, I need to fix it somewhat.
So, the question is - what the fuck can I do to try and get my back straighter? I am actively trying to keep a good posture but that is not enough. Are there any exercises I can do to gain more control over my back?
Thanks in advance for any help.
>>41875636
Look up some yoga moves that stretch out your back. Do hyperextensions and laying bench rows either flat or on an incline to strengthen your back.
>>41875913
Thanks mate, hyperextensions and laying bench rows seem to make sense. Will try them out, hopefully it'll help. I don't really know what accessories I should add anyway, the only thing I've consistently added were lat pulldowns since apparently those help with OHP too and I really struggle with that one. Any tips on the volume?
Will look into that yoga stuff though, I think this is something that could come in useful on rest days, at least.
stretch your whole body. front and back. not just your back. and not just your front.
hey /fit/, this is my first time here (i generally browse /pol/) and I wanna know what exercises i can do to get larger shoulders. ive been going to the gym every day (skipping a day here and there) for a month now and this is where I have gotten. Progress seems to be especially slow in my shoulders. Help plz
>>41875634
its genetic, you can make ur structure different, you can just make ur muscles bigger, you will always have narrow shoulders but you can make them look wider by making them bigger. learn to do lateral raises
>>41875645
damn, fuck my parents and their beta genes. thanks for the advice though, friend
Lat pulldowns
Lateral dumbell raises
Military press
And most importantly - PULLUPS (and proper ones)
Pullups are genuinely the most important movement for a strong back and shoulders.
