Cold shower is a meme, there is no scientific evidence of it benefits.

I do hot then turn it to cold the last minute or so
I mostly do it for mental/emotional reasons, it makes me feel like an animal and I grunt a lot and feels like it sorta lets me channel my anger

Which do you use your gains for?
>>42678929
Evil is more aesthetic but good has more functional strength.
Evil will put on a good show in the beginning but will ultimately be defeated by based good.

I'm seriously about to take the financial hit and drop this guy.
just get him on SS for fuck sake hes eating like Ripp wants him to
>>42678870
Don't give up man. You're still getting paid even if he is jeopardizing his own fitness goal. That's on him, not you

I've been a strength coach for 6 years. Just drop the cunt. You getting frustrated with a single cunt will lower the quality of your work for the other clients who deserve you at their best. You will feel better for making the decision, trust me.

Anyone else get pimples from milk?
I'm on a bulk and noticing it on my face/chest a lot more than usual.

6'0 aryan and it's happening
>>42678825
I am also hwhite and used to have this happen to me. What really helped me with preventing acne was to turn down the shower (I usually had warm/borderline hot showers) to lukewarm/cold. I drink on average about 750ml of whole milk a day and don't have any problems with that anymore.
>>42678850
Hmm thanks.
Why do you think that is? I also love taking HOT showers too.
>>42678825
do you use whey? i used to get really bad cystic acne on my face and i didnt know why. stopped using whey and my face cleared up.
What advice would you have given your former, younger self about all things /fit/-related?
>cardio
Do cardio after your lifts. You'll lose weight so much faster. Hike every weekend to mix it up - get to see nature and challenge your motor skills. Also MILFS.
>diet
Drop the beer and sugar - it's just making you fat. Anything microwavable is probably shit. Stock up on chicken, brocolli, rice, and bananas (pre-workout energy). Learn to bake with seasonings so it doesn't taste like ass. Chicken at 400 degrees 20 minutes each side - Italian seasoning and pic related for flavor. Garlic powder on broccoli optional. Hydrate consistently (drink lots of water).
>lifts
Compounds for test/overall body composition, isolations for specific muscles. Go hard on the upper body (chest, back, delts) - you're tall and working legs too hard will make you look T-rex mode.
>posture
You have APT. It's from sitting all the time + poor posture habits. Learn to sit properly at work, get up frequently to stretch/walk around. Stretch often at home. Work on glutes, hamstrings, and abs to correct APT. Hamstring curls, RDLs, vacuums, glute bridges are all good supplemental work for this. Buy a foam roller for extra tightness in hamstrings and ass.
>misc
Stop watching porn. You're addicted and can cause PIED. Masturbate less too - it's exhausting your energy before you even get out of bed. Just go a week no fap no porn and you'll feel a lot better. Sleep 8 hours a night. Lack of sleep kills gains and mood.
>>42678816
How MUCH water would you say is optimal per day?
>>42679027
Depends on the person. Rule of thumb if your pee is fairly clear you're good (as opposed to yellow/dark yellow).
>>42679190
It's usually always clear but my primary source of water is tea.
SO MANY PEOPLE AT THE GYM REEEEEEEEEEÊÊÊÊ
>>42678745
>t. beta

I don't see how this bothers anyone
it rarely bothers anyone on /fit/ unless the people are all cunts
>>42678745
>start my 1 week trial
>go in it's empty and tons of equipment for me to use
>do various exercises taking my time with each and not moving from the bench/seat once
>expecting to pay 40+ dollars per month considering how nice the gym is
>go to the front desk and find out I only have to pay 19.99 a month with no annual fees
It's been a good day
Alright /fit/ so I have let myself go this summer (3 months of no gym or dieting) and have lost my strength and gained quite a bit of bodyfat too) I need to be ripped by december so i was wondering what I should do? Im thinking about going on a keto diet with a cyclic carb refeed every 7th day (sunday). What do you think my tdee should be around and how many grams of protein/fat/ carb should I eat? Also I need help in what kind of workout I should do since ill be on keto for 6 days a week and my glycogen stores will be shit after day 4/5.
Stats:
>Height: 6ft
>Weight:88kg (gained 7kg over summer)
>Bf% just above 30 i reckon
I appreciate all advice.
>>42678718
Well this has been a great help thanks yall
>>42678718
>>42679207
I don't know what you expect buddy, you're asking for basic as fuck advice that's all covered in the sticky.
You won't get ripped in 3 months, but if you eat at a 500 calorie deficit, do a PPL or a full body with cardio every other day, you can lose 1-2 kg/month or even more
>>42678718

Hey /fit/izens.
I'm new to lifting, I've decided to start with the Starting Strength lifting programme.
I just wondered whether or not you guys think I should first cut or bulk whilst lifting? I've read that in order to make the most of my 'noob gains', I should bulk.
What should I do?
>>42678710
Bulk of course. GOMAD.

The circle is now complete...
Rowing is the king of all exercises. Prove me wrong
This is objectively superior because it has a unilateral rowing motion for your upper and unilateral pushing simultaneously. You can make it harder by not using legs or only using legs. You can make it more posterior chain dominant by lowering the seat height and moving the seat back. It also takes up less space.
>>42678600
I have a water rower with a tank of water attached for its resistance. Doing intervals on it smokes my legs and it's more enjoyable than running for me. I ran a lot in my early 20s and my knees are paying for it now. I feel like if you can row for more than 30 minutes you aren't rowing hard enough and you're cheating yourself.
>>42679162
get out of here, air bike sucks ass. biking is quad heavy without full extension == kills your jump.
I train general self defense and boxing, but what is the best Street Fight technique in your opinion? I do clinching and elbows, but my main weapon is running away.

Thanks breh
At what point in the exercise did you sprain it? Im worried about it too now
Lifting is for college kids and twerps in high school.
If you lift weights past the age of 25 you're a joke and don't have a real life/job/career and are still a manchild with zero responsibilities.
>>42678321
>dedicate 45 minutes a day to a hobby means you are a manchild without responsibilities
You're just boring af mate.

Works out for 45 min

I'm 43, and have been a professional software developer for longer than some of you have been alive. I rarely drink/party anymore because I've "been there done that" and don't need to go back. Have been dating a nice cardio bunny for about a year now. AMA.

best traps workouts? good routines?
>>42678119
Seriously why does she have traps that make roid monkies look dyel? Is it just bad posture causing her to lean forward, thus giving the illusion of sick trap mass?
>>42678152
No, it's because she's a man anon. "She" has a dick. Obama believed traps aren't gay.
