Going to the Finnish army this July. Can any fellow spurdos tell me how this will affect my gains? Also army /fit/ stories in general.
>>41529305
do they make you shave your heard, finnbro?
>>41529305
riippuu mihin oot menossa
yleensä jos on lihasta niin kuihtuu ja jos läskiä niin laihtuu?
>>41529305
If you have lots of muscle, you will lose it. If you are a skeleton like this kid I knew when I was in, you can gain muscle. He went from 140-160lbs in 9 weeks. Inversely, guys coming in 200+ tended to loose 20+ lbs
So, /fit/ my wife died almost six months ago, since then, I pretty much stopped caring about myself and all that stuff.
I need to get back in form, I've gained eight kilos.
Any tip on how to re-educate myself? I started going to the gym again, already.
Problem is that my appetite is equivalent to the one of a small gorilla, and I have a terrible craving for sugar.
>>41529261
That's probably the luckiest thing to ever happen to you. Give the kids up for adoption and enjoy your second chance at life. :D
>>41529284
We dind't have kids, we were quite young.
I am just 23.
You came to the right place, op.
Just start going to gym every day.
It helps a lot.
You can pretty much eat whatever you want but you will have to work even harder to compensate for the calory surplus.
Lifting will make both ur body and ur mind feel better.
Lifting is good.
How good are my vegetarian body ?
Are you jelly meat eaters ?
>>41529222
I am confused.
Are we jelly eaters or are we meat eaters?
>>41529230
You are scavenger who don't deserve to live

>/fit/ 3yrs ago: not perfect and in many ways flawed but an overall motivating culture with an aim to achieve alphaness
>/fit now: whiney /r9k/ bullshit, overall negative mindsetting, belief that it is not possible to become alpha
What happened /fit/? Why won't all the loser pussies from /r9k/ fuck off seeing as they are so intent on not making it?
>>41529212
I noticed the same thing, this place wasn`t perfect but now its utter shithole
>>41529212
/fit/ was never good.
The only difference is some memes are more retarded. Like the Sip meme.
Years ago we had the zyzz retardation and tinytrip among with other shitposters.
However back then we also had some good ones like Quad. And now /fit/ doesnt seem to have any decent tripfags.
>>41529257
The only decent tripfag nowadays is Lotus. The rest are utter retards and while Zyzz was... well, Zyzz at least he had a positive mindset. I'm not saying /fit/ was ever "good". Nothing on 4chan has ever been "good" I'm just saying before it used to be a source of motivation but now it's full of negative pussies.
I've been at the gym for four months, been having a good time, I see overall body development, unless for this. I separate my arms from my body and I look like a brick, which muscles should I target to grow that thing there?
The serratus. A combination of low bodyfat and planks/situps.
>>41529207
do push ups and extend your shoulders downwards at the top
He means lats
Rows of any kind.
Pull ups.
Face Pulls.

What lift will stop me from wanting to jump off the harbour bridge?
That's a rough hand you've been dealt. First thing I would do if I were you is focus all extra money to fixing your credit. That's all anything is based on anymore.
>>41529183
I haven't been in debt for 2 years now (just starved when I didn't have any left) but I don't know how I can get it to the point where a bank will lend for my future. I'd need to land a miracle job

/fit/izens please help me get Linebacker fit again.
I'm 27 years old now and i was playing LB on a pretty high level when i was 21. I was 220 lbs and strong all over. I was eating shit for the past 5 years because i had a major panic disorder. I know i have 3 more years left in me to play so i'm looking to get into shape again. Any help would be appreciated
my stats now are:
>200lbs
>20% BF
my workout regimen when i was 21 were pretty much this:
>BP 5x5
>Hang Power cleans 5x5
>Incline Bench
>Skullcrushers
>Deadlifts
>Squats
>Military Press
>Hammer curls
I did all of these in one workout which took 1 1/2 hours, as you might guess this workout isn't efficient, because i was also sprinting and going to football training sessions. I did this every three days and was maxing out on BP and deadlifts each time. I got huge and really built like a MLB, but now i want to work out smart.
>>41528936
Do a program from the sticky.
>>41529075
yeah but maybe someone has more insides to football specific drills for me
>>41529268
If you used to be an LB at "a pretty high level" then surely you'd know football specific drills? Anyway you can literally just follow the same routine you followed before but don't max out on deadlifts and bench press every time which is fucking retarded and make sure your form on hang power cleans is solid.
How do I achieve 10/10 trap aesthetics? Surgery sure, but otherwise what can I do to become a super femme cam whore material?
Cmon /fit/ I know you like traps and I want to know exactly what to work on
>>41528752
Leave
>>41528752
You need to beaten to death faggot
>>41528753
>>41528757
Closet faggotry, pretty standard, nothing to see here
I just started new diet to drop 20 pounds and it turns out I don't like oats.
What's the next best alternative for breakfast? Muesli? Or something different altogether?
skip breakfast faggot
>>41528709
Musli's ok but I recommend You give oats another chance. They aren't tasty but you get used to it.
Eating some rn
Maybe you're prepping oats wrong?
What exactly don't you like?
Can't find this sip in Finland. HALP.
Amazon
Finland is officially third world.
>>41528535
My friend in sweden (hes a nigger yes) melts the SIPs in with gelatin and creates a jelly cake out of them, the customs have no idea what just passed their heads! Illegal SIP concealed in fucking cake. Your move, postibitches.
How bad is drugs for gains?
Does any anon have experiences with it?
Meth is GOAT for weight loss
>>41528520
I'm thinking more about LSD/mushrooms/weed
>>41528628
It shouldn't mess with your gains at all.
What happened?
1. off anabolics
2. no pump
3. not flexing
and he still looks big. What's your point even?
>>41528496
Off the gear because he doesn't have the funds to do the type of stuff the major stars who depend on it need.
Is all "healthy" and "long life" now.
Is actually in the middle of a major midlife crisis.
went nuts then started breathing into them
>deadlift 160 for 1
>trouble with grip and core tightness
>form problems because of it
>borrow belt and straps
>175 for 1
>felt pretty easy and form was great
>grip and core are no longer an issue
>decide to try out squats
>can squat 3pl8 for 3 with no gear
>again trouble maintaining core tightness for anything beyond that
>always feel it in lower back
>never feel it in legs
>belt up
>160 for 1
>struggle a bit from the hole but that's it
>feel it plenty in legs
>don't feel shit in lower back and core was tight as fuck throughout the squat
so tell me, why shouldn't i use belt and straps? i squat to work my legs not my core. for that i can just do weighted planks. same goes for deadlift. i don't care about my grip as much as i do for everything else it works.
are there really any downsides to using those 2 things for work sets? i can still work on my grip and core until i get to the point where i can start feeling they are becoming my limiting factor before gearing up. besides that i can just do some grip work on the side.
is there a point in doing squats and diddys without those things and be limited by grip/core when i can lift far heavier weight with gear and actually feel the muscles working?
>>41528167
you are doing right, don't limit yourself.
>>41528167
are you talking in kg?
>>41528199
Was wondering that too, fucking hope he's not talking libres
Is it possible to bulk up or get in shape with bodyweight?
I was thinking of doing like this every day
5x10 pushups
5x10 squats
5x10 chinups or pullups
I'm a skinnyfatass and don't currently work out, can't afford a gym membership right now
>>41528130
Yes it totally possible to bulk up or get in shape with bodyweight. Look up calisthenics and you'll see that you can actually do pretty cool stuff, you don't have to do just push ups for the rest of your life.
>>41528130
>can't afford a gym membership right now
You can't afford a dollar a day?
>>41528130
You can get to ottermode at which point you can very progress in skill trees but it is recommended that you do resistance training after ottermode.
Please keep bodyweight questions in /bwg/
>>41527516
>Workout from 2-4am everyday
>Go to school
>Sleep from 6pm to 1am
am i hurting myself bros?
No that sounds like a pretty fucking sick schedule bro. Two hours of working out, a little bit of cushion time, a few hours of learning, a little cushion time, seven hours of sleep. Seven hours isn't a bad amount.
>>41528106
Keep it up for as long as possible mate. Its easy to maintain mass once you got it.
You may be lacking a bit in sleep, but just do what feels good for your body
