There was a good thread the other day about staying /fit/ as a parent. I was the anon who's going to be a dad in two months time and got some good advice.
This thread is about advice for parents. Work out routines for limited time, like 3 days per week and general bants about family.
I'll use my kids to do drop sets on some exercises like pushups and skull crushers. I can get a workout in and they are entertained. I usually work out at work but want them to see that fitness is fun and essential. As a former fat kid and want to make sure they learn early about taking care if themselves.
My oldest got me back into working out after getting out of the Navy. We were sitting on the couch and she mentioned how my boobs are as big as mom's.
I have around an hour at work so most of my workout are superset so I can hit a different body part and cut down on rest time.

ill probably nut in some first chick that will fall for my dick and regret it right after but what the fuck do i know.
Lately i spend a lot of time with my nephew and at first it was awkward but now i kinda enjoy it, teaching him things and stuff
I have a three year old. Hasn't really affected my routine.

Anyone on here fast for extended time? I do IF but last week I fasted for 26 hours and found it relatively easy. I'm looking to do 46 hours this week.
Anyone else? got some tips? i already drink plenty of water and black coffee
Here's a tip: don't marathon fast. There comes a point after fasting like that where it's hard to start eating again because it fucking hurts. You won't be able to get enough calories in a day and you'll be weak as fuck trying to recover.
>>41260984
How long is too long?
>>41260992
Fasting over the weekend is fine but don't push it. People do go seven days but it fucks them up.
Why are you doing this in the first place? You should be building muscle.
Hey /fit/!
About 3 years ago i read about soylent and tried it for a month. Tasted okay but i never went any further with it and i didnt work out at that time.
Im lifting now weighing 78 at 180cm, can lift 1/2/3/4 but i struggle everyday to eat 3000kcal as i work 10 hours a day and need my sleep too. Would it be okay to get like a 1000kcal from just joylent?
Can you live off this stuff and still gain if you mix some whey in? Redpill pls.
One bag of the stuff has pic related profile

Hey /fit/
How are you supposed to grip this?
With fingertips on A or B?
Kill yourself.
Kill yourself

Is it okay to wear gloves to do compound barbell excersises? Can I bench/deadlift squat with them?
Reason is because my hand/palm gets painful most of the time when I do those excersise and I thought wearing a glove would prevent the pain.
>>41260447
A glove won't matter unless you're concerned about blisters, peeling or callouses. If your palms are hurting from the weight that means you're probably lifting heavier than you should be
No, gloves are for pussies. There are kids in my gym that wear gloves to do curls, literally embarrassing.
>>41260454
Callouses, that too. I wanna wear a glove to do pull ups at home too because those really make callouses damn painful.
Is that the case? I'm not really lifting heavy, I'm just a skele starting out and benching 99lb already makes my palm hurt.
/fit/
I need something to take up my time. All I do is train x 4 times a week and that doesn't occupy me enough. i've just come out of a break up and i'm in desperate need of a hobby for the weekends and weekdays
i'm also trying to stop getting shitfaced at the weekends but i'm so bored
help me guys pls
>>41260444
read.
reading increases intellect. memes and trolling aside, reading about how to socially interact with people can be the most valuable piece to success
>inb4 HERE IN MY GARAGE
>>41260453
that would be like an hour a day though?
>>41260444
Learn an instrument. Work on it an hour a day. All the tutorials on the youtubes.
>600lb sack of lard has a wife

I don't see what's making you jealous
>>41260382
you're probably retarded
I have a strong case of babyface guys. I'd like to look older, because I'm 22 and often get carded ecause people think I'm 16-17.
How do I do that?
>>41260353
step 1) get better genetics
>>41260353
start smoking?
>>41260353
Is that you?
Because you look every bit of 22 and actually even older.
They're carding you because it's literally their job to card you.
Why? At 5'4, I never felt it was a problem since I was girl height, but at clubs no girl is shorter than me other than legal midgets. And ALL girls say they want a man taller than they are MINIMUM, what's even the point? Marry a legal midget who are like 1% of the population, or a whale, who probably dream of a 6'2 dude?
I don't lift weights to feel good about myself, why would your self esteem reflect how your body looks like, that's weak af. It is, and always will be, for girls/power in the work place. It feels like I'm going insane, like the Twlight Zone, I don't even know why I keep going to the gym, probably just because society tells me to.
>>41260232
alright dude, im gunna just try to help without trolling..
1) work on your appearance, not just physical.
2) bring to the table a mind: smarts helps at this height. My dad is your height and Im taller. He got my mom so theres hope for you. hes also fucking smart.
3) bee urself.
dude I really dont know. I'm 6 foot, and pretty good looking and somewhat smart (accountant). I know im lucky, but Idk hieght isnt everything
>>41260232
This is some pathetic shit. I'm 5'4 in New York and I've never had an issue with women. Am I slaying 5'11 goddesses? No. Have I mostly had success with woman 5'6 and under? Yes. Stop being pathetic and concerned with your height and work on your shit personality.
Yea so about 7 months ago i got employed at a local gym, a pretty big one where ive been a member at since 2010. The pay is allright, about 11.30/hour. At work right now but only 2 others here. Please keep me entertained, /fit/
AMA
You in America on night shift?
Or in the Euro zone?
Either way, I'm at work too brother! How do we supplement /fit/ lifestyle into our seated jobs?
entertain yourself fucktard
>>41260214
Nah, i live in Sweden its 9:50 here atm
I do workout before/after my shift ends, since im already at the gym. When i sit down and theres nothing that has to be done, i eat my mealprep or a bar.
Where do you work?
Now what is the correct range of motion for this fucker exercise? People usually say the bar should touch your chest but in most cases people turn auf pullup into a bodyweight row that way. However Scooby points out that eye/nose level is enough to activate lats in a Pullup.
Now which one is right? Above chin or eye level?
Pretty much talking about one like that
https://youtu.be/x2XwCwgEQCA
>>41260124
Like the military counts them, chin over bar
>>41260132
What about the elbows? Pointing outwards or inwards your body?
>>41260166
Doesn't matter
