Is being "on a program" really necessary?
I lift full body three days a week, doing compound movements (squats, deadlifts, bench press, pullups, etc.), run on the off days, and take Saturdays off.
If I'm seeing consistent progress and not leaving any key movements or body parts out, is there really any point of moving to someone else's system?
if you want to progress and keep improving then yes. if you just want to stay in shape then no.

I mean, I'm still progressing and seeing positive changes.
If you are in the first couple years no. So long as you lift heavy and often it doesnt matter. When you progress and progression slows down then yes it helps optimize your workouts to get gains.

It is sad how much this pic described my life at one point.
I don't post much on /fit/ and I am new to working out.
I have been reading a lot about diet and I can't figure what the hell to believe. There is so many opinions out there.
So I am asking the brain bank of /fit/.
For weight loss is it just a matter of calories in verses calories out, or is it maintaining your carbs below a certain level? Does fat content really matter?
I'm trying to lose about 60 pounds.
Second question is what do you all think of rowing machines? Are they as good as some sites say? I saw an article that said you can burn almost as many calories as running for the same amount of time if your rowing right. Is that true?
Lower both
Calories are fine to roughly measure weight loss rate, reducing simple carbs will help your appetite immensely
You can cut for 5 months of absolute hell; cravings, binges, lethargy, or cut and be satisfied with what you eat. Calories in vs out is the very basis of it, the question is would you rather drive or walk a mile, one is more efficient than the other
>>41201353
fuck, just eat the things in the picture you uploaded except for the potatoes
If your trying to lose weight, the first step is to avoid foods with added sugars. Look at the ingredients list and if it says "sugar" (or any of the other names they use, look those up) don't buy it. 99% percent of your should be home cooked and not packaged anyway.
Keto is good for losing weight but I don't recommend it in the long run.
And don't forget to stick to complex carbs instead of simple carbs (look this up).
For calories try to stay in the ballpark of 500 calories deficit, but don't worry if you go slightly over, as a solid lifting program should correct it.
Try to lose about 1.5-2 pounds a week, or 6-8 pounds a month. Of you aren't reaching these goals then you must reevaluate your diet.

Who the fuck cares what those idiots think?
good. /fit/ is trash. it's the same shit everyday. autists pretending to be girls, keto, fraud, cbt, most people are bitter, etc.
I saw a vicious thread directed at /fit/ the other day on /ck/. Anons suggested we'd be better off getting therapy than lifting.
I also saw a thread there about a guy that advocated drinking "dew grease": Mountain Dew mixed with bacon grease.
So, don't take it too hard when other boards shit on yours.

> 40 lbs gained in 10 weeks
> lifting twice per day
> strength in the morning
> hypertrophy in the evening
> 185lb to 225lb
what does /fit/ think of this
>>41200822
Requires a very good diet and perhaps jewish enhancement fluids
>>41200822
roids. you can't get 4 lbs of muscle per week natty
He isn't even remotely ripped in the movie. I think it's pretty much possible to gain 40 lbs of MASS in 10 weeks but a big part of it was probably fat.
why do so many /fit/izens have gyno?
is lifting the cause for gyno?
or is gyno the cause for lifting?
>>41200814
