I fell for the home-gym meme.
Never do this if you actually have a decent gym near you.
I've been lifting for 5 years, but the past 2 years I spent lifting at home. I just rejoined the local gym a few weeks ago and I'm so much more happier lifting. Seeing all the eye-candy at the gym (sexy sluts) is so much better for motivation and mental health.
I can't believe I missed out on looking at all these sexy sluts at the gym for 2 years.
Home gyms are only recommended if you have autism

This especially goes out to all the kiddos that daydream about real manly gyms with only men. I wouldn't even lift anymore if it wasn't for sexy gym whores
It was pretty depressing for me too working out alone at home. Id have 4 hour long workouts sometimes and just not feel satisfied. I can go to the gym and do 3 sets of pullups and id be more fulfilled for the day just cause i can interact with others.
I guess everything has its up and down sides.
Hey /fit/, I'm gonna need your help.
I've had what I think is patellar tendonitis for 2+ years now. Hurts to run and jump, and squats are too painful to do. Been to countless physios, who have suggested issues such as: tight IT band, weak glutes, weak quads, tight hips. (How do I even test if I have a muscle imbalance...what if I'm further strengthening the stronger muscle?)
I've also gone to a podiatrist, and turns out I have some feet problems. Not sure exactly what the problems were but I think mainly its that my feet roll inwards.
I have taken a season off basketball, and rested completely and the pain went away. Five minutes in to running and the injury is back. This pattern always repeats.
I fell for the Starting Strength meme when I first started lifting 3 years ago, which is when the pain began. Have low bar squats ruined me?
Plz help me /fit/. I don't know what to do anymore.
Bump. Plz guys
I'll give u a bump anon. Good luck
>patellar tendonitis for 2+ years now
at this point it will have developed into patellar tendinosis, which means the ligament has received structural damage that can't be healed with rest. basically you need surgery and even then there's no guarantee the pain will go away
Help me /fit/ my old border collie (17) just passed away and now that I'm done grieving I've noticed I have a ton of time now that I'm not taking care of her with my every waking moment. I want to go to the gym that's up the street for me since it's a steal at 10 dollars a month, but every time I decide to do it I get this nasty paranoid fear of going in and talking to the teller and worry about how the place is set up or some shit.
Why the fuck am I scared of going to the gym? Have any of you ever had this issue? I've never been to the gym before help me out here.
the fact that youre crying over a dog shows youve got bigger issues on your plate than being scared to go to the gym
>>42788299
Are you seriously saying that grieving for a deceased pet is abnormal.
>>42788299
that edge almost cut me
I'm not here to get /fit/, I got that part sorted out already, what i need to do is to get thin.
If anyone has tips or just want to give encouragement to me i would be mighty happy

This. Powerlifting is a meme. Strongman > powerlifting anytime.

Enjoy being even a fatter fuck than a powerlifter
Since the last thread turned out good and eventually hit bump limit, I figured it's time for a new one.
Y'all know the drill, post before and after pics and get critique, inspiration and share advice.
Let's get this show on the road my dudes, I'll start
>1,5 years between the pics, 7 months of which I've actually put some work in.
>87 kg and 20%-ish bf% at 6'2 in before pic
>81 kg and 14-15 bf% in current
Realized I've been on an ineffective routine during this time and I'm currently in the process of switching to a PPL scheme.
Not bad OP, keep going breh.
>Lifts?
>>42788150
That's 20% bf? I must be higher than I thought lel
>>42788150
My weighted chin ups went from 25lbs, 5x5, to 45 lbs, in I think 4 weeks or so. Feeling strong
Is 240lbs and lean at 6'2 achievable natty?
please respond
depends on your definition of lean
at anything sub 15% bodyfat it's impossible. Consider for example the hodgetwins who are on TRT and 6'2" 205 lean
>240
>6'2
>Lean
Definitely a no
>new little mexican with terrible breath at the gym blaring rap music on his phone nonstop
>see something odd in the parking lot when I leave
>its him in a car at the back of the parking lot. >seat leaned back
>he's getting brain from a thot and simultaneously pulling on some weed
This actually happened yesterday. What is my response? I want him gone.
>>42788012
>What is my response?
autistic anon, your response is autistic, and how do you know he has terrible breath, were you sucking him off?
>Pedro eats tacos and gets head at the gym while OP remains kissless beta virgin

i only slept 6 hours today because my autistic roommate woke me up, is that gonna make me lose my gains?
>>42788008
sleep is for pussies
Your recovery was not optimal at 6 hours of sleep
>>42788008
>my autistic roommate
You must feel right at home.
>He doesn't tip the gym receptionist
>>42788006
>"What do you mean she won't sleep with me if I tip her..."
g-guys help
>Tipping someone for standing there and saying hello
i always tip the gym receptionist
Competing in a local boxing match for charity with against a friend. I am unfit (not fat, just lack of muscle) and have two weeks to prepare. I need /fit/'s help to best prepare myself for a good scrap
go get a boxing trainer, technique is the only thing you can improve in such a small timeframe
watch rocky montages
Go to a couple of nearby boxing gyms and take some classes

Hold up
Are you claiming fruitarians aren't vegan?
2017 and RETARDS would rather have big ass ugly broad shoulders with huge arms as oppose to having an aesthetic body/ottermode with a 6 pack. Girls would rather pick this not some ugly ass big guy.
>b-b-b-but I lift for myself not girls
Sure dude whatever makes you feel better.
All male models have this body, ALL CHADS HAVE THIS BODY. Anything other than this is trash
>doesn't have big ass arms
Girls will always pick these body types
>>42787846
>>42787860
>Not being /fa/fit/
You stupid faggots are never going to make it.
Exactly, all "girls" pick hairless boys. I'm so dissapointed i won't be on a 13 year old's wall next to justin beiber.
For long term health you shouldn't deadlift and you shouldn't back squat
Front squats are much easier on your back and give you greater hypertrophy
Enjoy your weakness
>>42787793
>front squats
And put all that pressure on my knees? I don't think so. Highbar oly squats with raised heel, as upright as possible and as low as possible while keeping a neutral back.
