Working out is great and all, but what does /fit/ do for their hygiene regimens? You can have all the gains you want but no bf/gf if you're not clean.
Personally when I get up I like to take a very cold shower for discipline, hair and skin, and blood circulation. I usually use anti-dandruff shampoo and cocoa butter body wash (gives my chest hair good shine). Put some tea tree oil in hair and beard, brush teeth with baking soda toothpaste. Morning and night use oil-free acne face wash and on a weekend I'll exfoliate body and face. Use moisturizing lotion. some nights I'll take a warm shower if I'm too sweaty. Wash/change sheets weekly. Always fresh clothes. Pic unrelated

More is not better, unless you work/live in the dirtiest fucking places.
Use more natural/herbal/mechanical methods like baking soda for shampoo and body wash with a scrubbing item. Use mechanical methods to clean, like scrubbing the face with a rough cloth. Avoid chemicals except for washing the hands. Use something with natural oils only for the skin/scalp if you want something other than mechanical scrubbing.
I hear a charcoal toothpaste is great, oil pulling with coconut oil is great, soft bristle toothbrush, floss both teeth left right not just flossing up and down when cleaning gums, drinking lightly salted water regularly and swooshing with it, tap water has a shit ton of chemicals that dry out the skin and kill microbes that keep you healthy (similar to how gut microbes keep you heatlhy) so avoid showers and use a wet rag and scrubber with baking soda and maybe some natural oil soap/shampoo without any chemicals is better, eat very clean so you don't stink, use an aluminium deodorant only if your body is a terrible odor factory, and use a brush/comb to spread your scalp oils across your hair.

Sorry man, but my methods are actually very-thoroughly researched.
>Use more natural/herbal/mechanical methods like baking soda for shampoo and body wash with a scrubbing item.
(1) Natural or herbal things are not necessarily better than artifical things.
(2) Mechanical methods are generally worse than chemical, more on that in a bit.
(3) Baking soda is alkaline, which damages the mantle of your skin which rests at a pH of around 5.5, which is slightly acidic. Matter of fact, baking soda is so alkaline that it sometimes causes burns on people. For more information on why baking soda is bad for your skin: https://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction/comments/195lue/psa_please_do_not_use_baking_soda_on_your_skin_it/
(3.1) Expanding on alkaline materials and your skin; this is why most soaps should be avoided. Soaps like Irish Spring and other common types also have a high pH level, destroying the mantle of your skin. This is why cleansers are advised to be used, because they tend to be more gentle on your skin and within the range of the natural pH of your skin.
(3.2) If you have acne, you want to be sure to keep the mantle of your skin intact because its acidic pH kills off most acne-causing bacteria. By taking a shower with an alkaline soap, you are actually more susceptible to acne-causing bacteria.
>Use mechanical methods to clean, like scrubbing the face with a rough cloth.
This is not cleaning, it is exfoliating, and generally you should be using chemical-based exfoliating methods. Physical exfoliation can be rough on your skin and is uneven. Chemical exfoliation is generally much better at more evenly exfoliating your skin. If you must use physical exfoliation, then try for a very gentle loofah (emphasis on the word gentle). Harsher is not better in skin care.
redpill (or bluepill) me on preacher curls /fit/.
I'm not necessarily a beginner at lifting, but I wouldn't consider myself intermediate yet.
Long story short, I want to replace DB curls with preacher curls. Is this wise? Should I stick with DB/BB curls, or maybe both?
I personally like how challenging preacher curls feel (maybe because I don't do them often).
Thoughts?
pray to the all mighty Lee Fucking Priest while doing them preacher curls for maximum gainz.
>>41098735
Isolation vs stabilizers. There you go.
First of all, you can do preacher curls with dumbells...
They put you at a much higher risk for a bicep tear though.

how do fat people eat so much?
I've figured it out. The trick is 1) fast food 2) junk ass food like peanut butter cups in vast quantities. ive gained 10 lbs in 2 weeks doing this.
Also, eat at least 2g protein for every kg of body weight
>>41098721
I derive pleasure from eating. I can literally eat all day if I didn't restrict myself calorie-wise.
Not sure why. I can honestly say I could smash out 10k calories in a day if I wanted to. Sheer force of will that I don't (obvs)
>>41098757
Do you eat tasty fast food exclusively or do you eat real food like chicken and rice? I'm pretty skinny but I know that if I only ate fast food I could easily become obese mode. For example a large Big Mac meal is 5000kj and I can eat it in 5 minutes.
Why the fuck aren't you incorporating avocado tuna salad into your diet?
Because I'm good with money.
>>41098706
Because I just eat the avocado with a spoon and eat the tuna out the can because I'm a man and not a faggot obsessed with REAL LIFE HAXXXX

There's almost no difference.

/fit/, I know probably 99% of this board will consider asking this a sin, but since I cant find it on google....
Could someone please explain to me what is SS?
All i know is that it is some sort of program. In that case, would anyone care to show it to me please?

Water retention is fucking retarded. How do I fix this shit I look like a wobbly marshmallow
Drink more water, eat less sodium idiot
Drinking too much water is literally a meme, unless you ingest an ungodly amount like 20L within an hour then you're fine
Sodium naturally increases retention so cut it out
>not doing keto and dropping 10-15lbs of water weight instantly then using that for the rest of your cut

Why the fuck is my hair so greasy right after takin a shower, it's perfectly clean an hour or so later.
>>41098337
you mean... wet?
>>41098358
I run my hand across my hair and it's just greasy, not like water, like disgusting fluid that doesn't wash off.
Shampoo?
What do you think you owe your parents?
I don't owe them anything. I told them tonight by the time I'm 30 I will take every single penny they've earned from them for treating me how they did for 20 years.
I will not help them at all and the moment I'm finished college they are dead to me, I will never speak or have anything to do with my family the day I graduate, I'll never ever speak to them after that day.

You shouldn't let yourself be defined by other people's opinions. Let it go.
That's about 3 miles. I usually run 4 miles non stop for my cardio days.
