I'm having a bit of an existential crisis, fitbros.
I work in a pipe mill 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. After work, I go to the gym for 2 hours. I come home and eat dinner, shitpost online for an hour or so, and go to bed. I go out on Saturday maybe once a month. On Sundays, I'll get pizza with my brother and his girlfriend, maybe hang out with some friends, and watch a movie. Twice a month my girlfriend who goes to school out of province will come over for the weekend.
Is this life? Is this it? What more is there to do? How can I experience more out of life? I tell myself that getting fucking huge and shredded is all that matters right now, that this is only temporary – but I feel like I am only telling myself this in order to dangle a carrot to get me out of bed every day.
In short – how to get more out of life, especially one with a poor work/life balance?
Well you've taken the first step I guess in becoming aware of your situation.
What do you dream about when you let your mind wander?
>>41860748
This is the worst part – I dream of comfortable mediocrity.
I dream of earning $50 000 a year working 40 hours a week, of living in a $200 000 home in a quiet neighbourhood, of driving a 10 year old car that gets good gas mileage. I think I might honestly just be boring, which is terrifying.

If that is what you want that is what you want man.
Maybe you lack purpose?

BOOGIE IS TRYING TO MARTYR HIMSELF

My predictions
He will lose weight
His Fatass wife will leave him citing feelings of inadequacy
He will reach his goal weight
He will stuff his face until his stomach returns to normal
He will balloon back to normal
He will now be fat and alone, having learned nothing.
He will die shortly after
>>41859841
This fat cunt says all the time that he eats because of a psychological problem. I guarantee he will never lose weight even with the surgery he will be blending food up and drinking it.

Too much eggs are bad for your cholesterol levels. What are some other easy to make and cheap meals that contain a lot of protein?

No they're not.
Eggs will not cause your cholesterol to rise
Dietary cholesterol has no effect on blood levels of cholesterol

Don't see one.
Any brahs do early morning (between 4 and 5 am) workouts?
Hows your energy level that early? Ever feel like you'd snap your shit up by working out at 4:30 am?
>>41845015
You get used to it. I usually have coffee and a sandwich and get to work.
>>41845015
As above, after some time you get used to it. First few weeks i got immense energy spike at around 6-7 a.m and then i became tired for the next 3-4 hours. Now it's normal.
Now here's a question, what should i do about my diddly: At around 3 rep of 180 lbs my fingers just can't hold the weight anymore. I have no problem picking the weight up, but i just can't hold it. Should i switch the grip ? Or just train my forearms more ?
Sticky seems to be down right now. I've read it before it suggested doing Stronglifts/SS as novice programs, but both of those seem to be treated as meme programs here. What exactly is wrong with them? I'm interested in doing Stronglifts 5x5. Are there any auxiliary workouts I should do to supplement it?
Need help /fit/ how to I reach that guy's level of attraction, not saying I want to look like him just to reach his level of attractiveness, me on the right by the way (as if it wasn't obvious) to keep it fit related, should I bulk to 175 lbs then cut to 165 lbs?

lose the face pimples, silver chain and pink t shirt would be a start. your facial aethestics are pretty solid otherwise

I saw someone on lookism with a profile pic of the guy on the left.
whats that guys name?
So op .
I would suggest jaw surgery or jaw implants for you ( to get a bigger jaw) , some tanning, apply lil bitof vaseline on your eyebrows and eyelashes before you sleep every night to darken and thicken the eyebrows and eyelashes, build a thick neck and weightlift to get a bigger frame ( i assume you want aesthetics so you get PPL and add some pullups in the routine), grow out your hair to make it long top and short sides
Lose the pimples and find a good skincare routine
>lose fat

This was supposed to be a good feels thread.
How much dick can I expect to gain from 240 down to 190 or less, 6'3" and 19 if that matters.
I'm thin, but weak. I can't even do a single knee pushup. I can't do a single pullup.
How do I go about getting in shape?
>>41866877
Lift and eat.
>>41866877
just be yourself :)
Just read the sticky dude.
How do I get a friend to lift and into a more positive mindset? I dont wanna ask in /adv/ since they're full of cucks and women.
The guy was a total baller when he was a teenager, but then he failed his college degree and now at 26 he is getting fatter and fatter, and is becoming more and more of a social recluse. How do I start him on a path to making it without being condescending or sounding like an ass?
>pic related, its his current mindset
This unironically
>>41866705
>How do I start him on a path to making it without being condescending or sounding like an ass?
ask him to hang out and take him to the gym, then tell him he's a fat fuck over brunch and to download myfitnesspal and to set hit activity level to minimum.
men need assholes in their lives. be his asshole anon.
>>41866735
>but then he failed his college degree and now at 26 he is getting fatter and fatter, and is becoming more and more of a social recluse
to add to this he might be /depression/ and it would be a good idea to think about SSRIs
So i ate carb after being on keto well over a month and it actually made me depressed until i was on keto again
Nohing major happening in my life but i felt depressed for a couple of days
carbs = cause of depression?
Maybe you're just a fucking pussy.

Okay, /fit/.
I can't seem to get a concrete answer to this.
To gain lean muscle, should I have a calorie deficit or surplus?
I'm 5'8", about 127 lbs, and I've been doing calisthenics fairly hard for a little over a year. While I've definitely gained muscle (I was extremely weak when I started), I want to go further - I find myself at somewhat of a plateau at the moment.
Right now I'm eating about 2500 calories a day (and not gaining weight, probably due to my ridiculous metabolism and profession). Should I eat more to help gain more muscle? Or should I eat less so the muscle I do have shows better? It seems everyone I ask tells me something different.
I don't want to gain bulk, I just want to look lean and muscular, something like Chris Heria or Brad Pitt in Fight Club. Something along those lines.
Thanks.
>>41866407
Think about this logically anon.
You want to gain mass, so where would that mass come from?

I don't know. I see guys who are lean as fuck but swear by calorie deficits. Others push for eating more to fuel muscle.
