What made you /fit/?

my cousin died from bipolar disorder. You have no idea what it's like dealing as a family with someone who is either the most loving part of the circle or viciously suicidal. Honestly it was easier to deal with her death than the decades of pain her condition caused.
I don't hate faggot millennials like you for pretending you have the disorder and making it a meme, but it's pretty close.
>>42703629
My cousin on my mom's side committed suicide when he was 14, I don't know why but I know for a fact that my mother and grandmother both have bipolar disorder. I take 900mg of Lithium and 25mg of Seroquel, I would never take either of those if I didn't absolutely have to.
I actually do hate faggot millennials who pretend to have mental disorders to be edgy, because every time I had to go see the college counselor's office I'd be sitting in the waiting room in my filthy clothes after a 2 week long period of manic delusions and continuous suicidal thoughts, and I would see them snap chatting themselves at therapy because wow isn't that cool??
Can't blame you for the accusation, but it fucking hurts.
>>42703496
Years of being told by obese family members that I'm too skinny. That's all the motivation I need.
What are some things that I can do in my spare time, beside lifting? I want to give up video games, and go after some more tangible achievements
Tailoring.
Carpentry.
I've taken up kayaking, I love it
Show me you are not a pleb.
>how many times should you workout a week
>appropriate split for an intermediate/advanced lifter

REmember when he was a small channel and we'd shitpost about him? And he got a thousand views at most.
Now he gets 100k views for each video and has over 400k subs.
How did this HAPPEN?
I never thought he'd have any SUCCESS
WHAT THE FUCK
>>42703366
We're all gonna make it, brah.
>>42703366
>I never thought he'd have any SUCCESS
Here's the real question
Reviewbrah made it
What have you and the rest of /fit/ done with your lives in the past 4 years.
he was on the news and on a cooking show.
So my lifts are terrible now. I used to be a regular lifter and my best stats were 225 bench, 400 squat, 350 deadlift.
I took a year off from lifting to focus on diet and I lost a lot of weight, but Now I can barely bench two plates for 5 reps. This is my second day back into lifting and I'm scared my body might be fucked up. I can't lift shit anymore what the fuck happened.
Any my muscles on my arms are so tight I can barley move them.
I'm 5'7 150 lbs.
>pic related is the workout I started
Should I basically just start over and go back to starting strength?
>>42703283
>I took a year off from lifting to focus on diet
are you literally retarded?
> but Now I can barely bench two plates for 5 reps.
but your previous best was 225. do you mean one plate on each side (135)?
>I can't lift shit anymore what the fuck happened.
you took a year off of training, dipshit. you're no longer adapted to the weight you were doing.
pick up a linear program and try to readjust. please tell me you're a troll.
>>42703463
Yes I meant one plate on both sides.
So who's going to be next to go? Place your bets.
>>42703262
lenny or scoob
>>42703262
Kali
>>42703262
Things are looking bad for CT Fletcher.
But if I had to place my bets...it's either Yates or Coleman.
What kind of bottle does/ fit/ use?
I prefer the one with the plastic grid over the metal ball. Breaks up powder better IMHO.
>>42703238
I usually throw the balls away. I just shake the fucker, it mixes just fine.
What shoes are you using for lifting /fit/?
I'm using pic related, looking for an upgrade
>not using the ball AND the grid
more of your conversation would infect my brain, being the herdsmen of the beastly plebeians: I will be bold to take my leave of you
What's the 411 on keto diets
>>42703227
Possibly harmful, and no better than counting calories.

Amazing to do if your body can handle it, not all can.
Don't listen to this poof >>42703241 keto will shred fat like a clen cycle
>>42703227
Works so well for cutting fat it's barely natty imo
>he goes to the gym at high affluence hours to mimic a social life
>>42703172
premium bait
>he goes to the gym at 3am due to his crippling social anxiety
>>42703172
wtf is a social life? oh ok brb going to go talk to people.. about things.. intentionally.. yeah that sounds like a real fucking good time. i mean here i was just doing my own thing, but no. i need to memorize boring sports stats and fuckin boring politics bla bla so i can repeat what i memorized to strangers then feel like i am accepted by society. FUN
Is there any natty youtuber left?
as soon as they get their views/subscribers up they start looking bigger each vid.
is lifting as a natty even worth it? are roids the endgame?
>>42703071
The last natty youtuber died under a week ago.
There were never any major natty youtube fitness people.
The fuck are you even talking about?
>>42703071
No.
Its worth it if you want to have functional testes and are fine with not having instant gratification.
Roids are the endgame if you want to push your limits
Guys I shaved my arm hair and now I feel like a bitch. If any of you are thinking of shaving any of your hair, don't do it. Now I have to live like this for at least 1 month.
I might kms.
>>42703029
Lose some weight fatty. Shaved chest looks aesthetic af if you a nice body
>>42703054
It doesn't seem like you can read, so I'll just assume you are retarded and disregard whatever you're saying
>shave arm hair
>look at girl's arm at work
>it's hairier than mine
absolutely disgusting

Guys,
Me and my gf just had sex while she's ovulating. I had my spermicidal condom on and it didn't break as I checked later. But it was all wet, covered in some kind of fluid, maybe related to the current time of her cycle. Now i am freaking the hell out and I dont know what to do and if theres a chance she will be pregnant. Help me
tell her to take the pill?
>>42702961
Just buy plan B at your local pharmacy. Will run you 50 bucks, but it's cheaper than being a father.
>>42702961
It's vaginal mucus. You're fine.
What is a reasonable estimate for now long it will take me to go from left (actual pic of me today) to right (pic of some random /fit/izen) if I put in a hell of a lot of time and effort?
I will be doing a combination of bench presses, deadlifts, squats, overhead presses, pull-ups, sit-ups, and cardio. I will be doing barbell exercises AT LEAST 3 times a week (5x5 maybe), 100+ situps a day most days (a set of 100+ is already very easy for me), pull-ups to failure several days a week, high intensity cardio 1-3 hours a week, and low intensity cardio 10-20 hours a week.
Obviously no one can give a really accurate timeframe but I want to know if I should be expecting a few months, a year, 5 years...
>inb4 just start lifting and find out
I'll start lifting as soon as the equipment (cage/bench/weights) I ordered arrives which will be in about a week.
Not flexing in the pic btw, my arm is up to hold my hair.
>>42702935
Five years natty, 2 years on cycle.
Dude on right is probably 40lbs lbm heavier than you, and you're not gaining more than 10lbs a year natty if your diet and training are perfect.
>>42702935
Went from left to right in 8 months with not so good diet, and I'm 6'1. I did bro split first 5 months then started PPL.
