We'll I just want to say that info graphic design gives me aids as a designer.
I got a great new job, there's literally a rock climbing gym across the street with free weights. I'm gonna have to move across the country but at least I'll have a way to connect to new people via the climbing gym.
I've started investing in better clothes and getting my old ones altered to fit better.
Got rid of social media. Already happier and less distracted.
Cleaned out my apartment down to the essentials. An uncluttered space is way better for the mind.
"Anon, it's time for your annual physical."
How worried are you?
I haven't been to the doctor since I was 14

BEFORE I START:
>I HAVE READ THE STICKY !
So I have a few questions for the true beasts of /fit/:
Fag from /sci/ [Not a chemist, I'm a mech. eng.] here for the 1st time.
I want to build my body like zyzz.
However, i have two questions:
-I am 174cm [5 ft 8]
is there any use for me to have a nice and well defined
body.
In case you are wondering: I weigh 74 kg, Most of my
body weight is on my thighs and ass [feminine weight
distribution for some reason]
-My second question is:
-Is it possible to use steroids once, or is it something that needs to be used multiple times on a certain basis.
-What are the affects of using steroids a few times ?
-Is it worth it ?
>>41183930
good stuff, you should read the sticky
Lurk /fraud/
I don't do sterons because I am not degenerate, but really there's no reason to ever be off of them if you
>a) have the money
>b) have a good reliable source
>c) use them responsibly
>>41183930
>I want to build my body like zyzz.
>5 ft 8
Stop right there. Zyzz was like 6'0 or 6'1. You're never gonna have a physique like him because your proportions don't match.
RIP
how much weight should I be pulling before I look like a faggot using these?
>tfw dropped a sub 3 plate deadlift a few days ago because my grip gave out
not sure if my grip is shitting the bed (i've done heavier weight before w/o a problem) or the bars are just shitty at my gym (probably both)
>>41183724
Three plates sounds about right.
>>41183734
>Not having the grip strength to pull 3pl8 without straps
Not sure if you'll make it bro. Give those forearms some work.
>>41183724
Three plates is a fine place to start for using straps on a deadlift but I think you should focus on grip strength first. I'd say 4 plates is kind of almost guaranteed where torsional force is more likely to rip the bar from your hands if you don't hook grip or mix grip. So to prevent supination of one shoulder use the straps then.
tldr; use straps at 3-3.5 plates.

Hey /fit/ I got out of the gym a couple years ago and got invited by a random qt to a christian young people gathering. Met a insanely hot/nice grill and asked her out. Anyway, I'm an atheist and can't stand the bullshit that's spoken every Sunday in church, we are now engaged and getting married next year. How do you deal with the hour long speech without smirking and making disgust faces?
Also to keep it fit related, name a better cardio/endurance exercise than burpees. Answer: you can't.
>>41183694
"frontal thigh muscle"
jesus fucking christ
>>41183694
Have you tried being a grown ass man and dealing with it like both an adult, and a caring fiance would do?
If you didn't want to go to church why would you decide to marry a Christian girl? That's kind of a thing they do a lot.
Why is your marriage planned a fucking year away?
>actually doing burpees
Fuck of, crossfit.
Srs question, be honest too, no matter how narcissistic you may sound. Do you feel more alpha than guys that you are bigger than? Do you feel being "fit" puts you above people who are out of shape and/or fat? Do you feel like you are overall better than other people simply for being in better physical condition?
>>41183673
idk ever since i took up boxing ive felt more "alpha/confident" then when i was just /fit/
Love is nice. But just one emotion in the end. The say life is loved based is to base your life on emotions. Which die along with your body. Why not base it on legacy
>>41183673
Been lifting for 6 years, 20 years old and college student so most guys at parties usually aren't as big as me, and I say that without being arrogant cocky etc. Im 6'3 210 lbs for frame of reference.
I will say that being bigger than most and obviously in better shape than the majority of guys is nice at parties. It definitely does make you feel like you have a far better chance of pulling girls at parties and it also makes you seem like you have an overall greater presence at the party. No matter what you think though girls don't really notice it as much as guys. Every guy notices it and sometimes I'll get a couple lads who will come talk about lifting, ask me about my lifts, etc. I will sometimes have the occasional thot hit on me and mention how big my arms are and stupid shit like that, but for the most part women seem to look past the idea of the big man over little man complex. This is strictly something only guys think about so just remember that when you go out to socialize. Women don't think a condescending douche bag is attractive no matter how /fit/ you are.
Okay so /fit/ im a virgin, and ive been dating this girl for awhile now. Shes been with a ton of guys and ive been with 0 girls. We still have not hard sex yet.
Anyway, whenever we try and have sex she literally does NOTHING and just lays down or bends over and is like "come on just stick it in me"
Which puts my anxiety through the roof and I can't ever get hard because of it.
Who's fault is this here? My fault for not being able to get hard or her fault for not helping me get hard at all? Last time I tried to get her to go on top of me and she wouldn't because she said its too much effort
Fuck I thought sex was supposed to be romantic not just a stick it in me im horny
did you tell her you were a virgin?
next time she tells you to stick in it me whip out your dick and tell her to get on her knees and suck on it first and then bend her over and give her the d
>>41183644
Give her some of that tongue first.

>his wife doesn't weigh 260kg
Lmao, do you even want to make it? You're missing on a shitload of gains by not having a massive heavy wife to piggyback or carry to bed.
>>41183475
>piggyback
more like hippoback
apparently a parachute isn't even big enough to contain that thing

How come people at the gym are always on their phones? Why don't they actually lift?
>>41183089
Its better than trying not to look at people while waiting for the next set. For introverts like me its a great relief.
>>41183089
I'm a new lifter. I usually try to check to see how my form should be or what other workouts I should do.
>>41183132
you should know that before you enter the gym. be prepared

Is their any reason to get /fit/ if you work in a high stress business industry? I work long hours and I'm forced to wear business clothes, will my gains even show up against my blazer/sportscoat?

Yeah you'll look great dude
yes, but posture will be more important

My doctor says that it's treatable through surgery but the surgery is only 50% successful and I would have to stop lifting and doing any vigorous exercise maybe forever.
After about 4 years of trial and error I've found what works for me:
1. I use Circumin 95 everyday for inflammation and it has done wonders for my stomach. It worked pretty quickly for my fucked up lower back but it took about a month for me to realize how much better my stomach problems were after using it.
2. Keeping Ranitidine (Zantac) on hand and taking it before I know that I'm going to have some drinks or spicy food or anything that might make it act up. Just go with the 150mg tabs to be sure it'll work. I also take one before a workout that includes squats or deads because weight forcing my shoulders down gives me gerd.
3. 1 tsp of baking soda in water before bed. It prevents me from waking up in the middle of the night or vomiting a bit in my sleep (if you haven't experienced that yet then you're in for a treat).
I got all these problems from a car accident that broke my lower back and fucked up my stomach. I honestly thought about suicide until I figured out how to manage it. Good luck.
bruh I got the same shit, but it's not really as bad
just going to try and ignore it Tbh
