I'm not here to criticize anyone.
I simply don't understand some fitizens obsession with having 3/6% body fat.
If you're competing in body building, i get it.
But if you are not, the only persons you're gonna impress are gym fuccbois.
Women don't really care if you're 3% body fat or 10%, as long you don't have beer belly and have some muscles, you're most certainly a solid 7.5/10 minimum ( not accounting your face btw ).
Not to mention you're gonna look like a squeezed ballsack.
>pic related
you are right, but fit thinks in impossible physiques only achieved through extreme work, dedication and steroids
>>42731212
>lifting for women
also, I feel like /fit/ has been more obsessed with the medium bodyfat physiques like Justin from 70s big as of late

This just came in the mail. Learning a lot. PPST should be required reading for anyone who wants to get stronger.
I get that most people consider SS and PPST to be meme literature and would rather be contrary to what on strength training is lately becoming the orthodox, but I really don't think more than 10% of the contents of the book falls under common knowledge. If it were, then the average person would probably be much stronger.
As for "novel" content, I don't think the uniqueness of information is really relevant in biomechanics. Something either works or it doesn't. But that's just my $0.02.
>>42731205
The principles in the beginning of the book are useful for anybody to learn, although they can be found many other places as well.
"meme literature"? What exactly do they mean with that? Just because these books are highly popular and almost become the recommended introductory reading on strength training doesn't mean that they are bad.
Its as if some people think that just because something is popular, they can meme it, and then its a bad thing? I think its mostly retarded newbies that think that way. Or they say "oh its just a meme" as a way of showing off that they are somewhat familiar with these things and they are now an authority on it. I've seen this in LoL where people say "oh thats is a meme strat" like as if that means anything and serves any other purpose then to show they are somewhat familiar with it and the meta game.
I haven't read the whole book yet but so far its great. I browsed trough it and skimmed here and there and i am now reading it. The thing i noticed after reading Starting Strength is that people in general have no clue about proper form and they don't know what clues to actually look for in peoples form and technique. People generally know nothing about programming either, i'd say there is a small majority of poeple that do and most pepople just get routines from others and try out random shit until they get stronk.
If you read SS and PP you know more then most about lifting.

DIETS, NOT RIOTS!
Could a person like this technically participate in a riot? What is the minimal definition of riot? Surely more than a brisk walk or a clenched fist.
This is why the world needs /fit/ regardless of how homosexual you guys are

Your diet will eventually cause you to stall and/or make you a lardass. You can make noobgains on a steady diet of grass.
Eating healthy is TOO expensive!
>Salad 2$
>tomatoes 3$
>Chicken breast 5$
>Dark bread 2$
I'm already at 12$ and it's only one meal.
Meanwhile chicken MC nuggets are like 4$
maybe you should have bought 7 limes instead
>>42730884
Good thing that with those prices you'll have enough of each of those for 3-4 meals.
Healthy eating is too expensive. Pic related, calories are too expensive when health
Hello, fellow /natty/'s
Are there doctors I can hire to inject these steroids into me, so that I don't accidentally inject testosterone directly into a vain or nerve and die.
roids are illegal here but I think doctors do nice things for methheads so why not for me
>>42730877
why do methheads and transpeople get respect but im treated like shit just because I was born as a man but sill need to transition into being a man because im not a man?
doing steroids is brave
>>42730877
jesus christ, just inject it yourself you fucking pussy, look up a guide online, there's almost zero risk of putting it in a vein especially if you aspirate
I have NEVER heard of someone dying from injecting steroids into a vein
>>42731083
it says that there should be no blood but I feel like no matter where I stick a needle there will be some blood, no matter where you cut me i'd bleed a little. I think maybe this is a troll desu.

Do you guys know how to make my trees juicy? I want them swole as fuck like pic related, but all I have locally are lanklet trees.
I'm being serious btw. I heard you can attach weights to your trees to make them grow thicker.
>>42730838
give them plenty of room to grow and time. Some take an average of 20-25 years to get like the pic
>>42730893
Even if this is the type of tree that is local to my area?
How do i achive this mode?
Eat a lot of pizza.

Daily reminder that your filtered tap water still has estrogen residues, and that your plastic bottled water leaks estrogenic BPA and that OP wants to kill your testosterone. Drink reverse osmosis filtered water or source water bottled in glass. Fuck you Michael.

rice substitute? looking to go on a cut again to finally get down to goal weight gonna fo the tried and true beans,rice chicken and veggies...but im trying to reduce empty carbs and increase protein consumption should i just eat quinoa? its pricey though or just eat more chicken?
>>42730582
>rice substitute?
>trying to reduce empty carbs
>should i just eat quinoa?
rice is god tier baka
>>42730601
yeah but its all calorie dense and not a great source of protons compared to meat
>>42730605
If you want protons just try some alpha radiation
Can someone explain the reasoning behind these recommended macros?
Ectomorphs â around 25% p (protein), 55%c (carbs), 20%f (fat)
Mesomorphs â around 30%p, 40%c, 30%f
Endomorphs â around 35%p, 25%c, 40%fâ
This is from Georges St-Pierre's training camp, so I trust they know their shit.
>>42730551
The idea is that endomorphs have a lower carbohydrate tolerance and as such, more energy from carbs turns into body fat or some shit like that. Personally it sounds like some meme bullshit and probably is, but I find as an endomorph that higher carb intake definitely has a negative impact on my aesthetics (but also a major negative impact on athletic performance).
Those figures are way too close to make any difference in body-comp.
You need like 30p/60c/10f to make a difference.
None of this 35/35/35 shit.
>>42730612
>but also a major negative impact on athletic performance
How? High carbs before competition helps with performance.
