Schools back so find your gym buddy. Other thread isnt about finding buddies so I thought I'd make one
>pic related it my UNI
First day of class lads
Oakland university
this event is coming up in october near me. i'm considering signing up. i've never done anything like it before, and never done a 5k. i have jogged 6 miles before, but it was on a track, and it was after a few months of serious focus on jogging (this was about 3 years ago).
my local 9 hole golf course is right around 1.86 miles long if you run right down the center of the fairways and through the greens, and is hilly as fuck (elevation changes between 50-100ft), so i think i could practice running there. i definitely don't want to go trail running this year due to the ridiculous amount of ticks and bugs this summer (we didn't have much of a winter, and it has been around 80-85 degrees all through august).
how should i train for the next 1.5 months to respectably represent /fit/?
oh btw, the event is a bunch of running, obstacles (like mud pits and climbing wall type stuff). https://warriordash.com/location/2017-warrior-dash-arkansas/
>>42662859
who lives in arkansas?
>>42663281
a lot of people who enjoy the low cost of living, great abundance of nature, smaller communities and city sizes, wonderful air quality, plentiful natural wildlife, stable economy, etc. etc.
and a lot of fat retards.
Don't do it. This is coming from someone who's done seven Warrior Dashes now. The event has turned into complete shit, and it's now just a huge waste of money. You seem like you're looking for something a little more serious, so I would recommend finding the closest Spartan Race to you, or maybe another local obstacle race. Just don't give any money to that bullshit "race" they call warrior dash.
You guys remember casual? He used to post here almost 10 years ago. He now runs his own supplements business and got married earlier this month. What have you achieved in these 10 years?
Me? Nothing. I'm almost 30 but still the same old loser. I see everyone having their lives figured out but it's like I'm a spectator watching a play I can't take part in.
Time to lift because that's the only moment of the day I don't feel like killing myself.
>Time to lift because that's the only moment of the day I don't feel like killing myself.
over time lifting won't help
>10 years
graduated high school then wasted 5 years at uni for a degree that is useless, now i have to go back for something useful
but i made some good friends and some decent gains
>>42662813
I feel the same way bro. I'm 32
We are all on different paths.
Everyday, always little more forwards.
Gym, diet, education. Books on audio during cardio are my new thing. I'm 2 books in, rich dad poor dad. and a book by Trump and Kowasaki.
Remember alot of your friends, settled. They were scared of being alone and their value lowering even further. 1/2 of those couple will be divorced in 10 years, the other 1/2 fat with zero fire.
You will not have this life. You will get a woman who values herself just as much as you. You will have a strong spicy relationship until you are dead.
You will make it. Always forward.
How do I gain weight while staying focused? When I eat too much I get tired and can't focus. My BMI is 16.8 despite me eating like 2500 calories per day.
IDK man. Have the same problem. I get really really tired from food but IF makes me feel like shit either. For some this works great.
>>42662808
Eat more calorie dense foods or space your neals out further
>>42662808
Eat more food or eat less shitty food like nightshades
recently ive all i've want eat is junk food bullshit
carbs and i dont really care for protein anymore
what is wrong with me?
every day im off work i get a monster zero ultra and a box of snack cakes. zebra cakes, honey buns, swiss rolls, twinkies
>>42662803
Grow up
Lift heavier
>>42662803
>what is wrong with me?
You don't understand nutrition
And yeah, you probably are undercarbed because you are carbphobic, so since you lack the understanding to eat a fucking potato or a half bag of sugar, you eat "carbs" that are 50% fat
>i start doing skullcrushers
>cute girl near me immediately stops what shes doing and starts doing skullcrushers next to me
Is this a sign?
>>42662786
Don't overthink things so much
>>42662786
Yes now ask if you'd like to do tricep workouts together you autistic fuck
Ass exercise? Exercise for your ass?
>>42662701
try that one exercise where 90% of the girls at the gym try to fuck the barbell they got nice asses most of the time
Junglist gym bros?
>>42662701
>>42663946
yep, heavy ass hip thrusts between two benches, focus on keeping a deliberate posterior pelvic tilt for the last rep for time until every inch of your glutes has a strong opinion about it. Not only for girls btw, not by far.
>>42664603
Why did the lion get lost between the trees? Because JUNGLE IS MASSIVE
5x5 45 squat
5x5 45 bench
5x5 65 barbell
Is what the strongman app recommended I start with.
I understand the point of strongman is to start low and keep adding on weight but do I really need to start THIS low. Especially on squat. That seems so low, my max for a 5x5 is 145 squat.
I'm kinda embarrassed to go do sets that low at my uni gym.
>>42662657
Then don't. What's your fucking point?
>muh embarrassed
Good point kiddo, definitely don't start lifting. Maybe kill yourself while you're at it.
NEVER EVER GONNA MAKE IT
>>42662657
are those kg or lbs
Since Piana died something strange has been happening at my Gym, everybody is hitting the weights harder than before, everybody sees more motivated than ever to make it
I have a theory that Rich Piana died for our gains, he secrificed his life so that we all can grow larger
>>42662649
what if our gains killed him
if we all stopped working out, he'd still be alive
theres always a little voice in the back of our heads that says "one more rep" after our 15th workout of the day
>>42662679
When i think i can't do another set, i put on this Song https://youtu.be/j3_g8P9elQM
Then i do 3 more
Mornin /fit/
Im really god awful at going shopping. I always seem to get the wrong things and I never use them. Anyone have a shopping list for bulking that I could use?
Pic related.
(No idea why the salt n pepper are in there)
>>42662587
Oats/Rice/Sweet potatoes
Kale/spinach
Peppers/tomatoes
Chicken breast/Tuna/Eggs
Yogurt (Fage 0% or Skyr)
As an example of my shopping cart. You have the carbs, protein and fiber covered with these.
Plan your meals and then extrapolate the list from that
Write it down so you don't forget anything and you can tell yourself "not on the list, don't get it"
Never go hopping when you're really hungry
>>42662587
same man, think I'm about to start roiding just that I won't get as fat
>If you're a short manlet there's NO WAY you will make it-
oh
But how about a tall manlet?
>>42662576
thank god I'm a tall manlet
everyone knows manlets can only have sex in movies
Feels like nails are constantly scraping along the tendon. What do I do to help the healing process? Trying to join the military, and had decent times. I think I just got into it too fast.
Also, how should I ease into running once I've healed?

Who here /protein powder diet/?
6-12 scoops, flaxseed oil, and a multivitamin..
>Inexpensive ($130/mo. -- 11lb. of protein is $60-$75. 1 gal. of flaxseed oil is about $50.. A multi is $5.)
>Modular (E.g., increasing calories is a few scoops / some oil; and there's plenty of room for cool herbs and essential oils within a modest budget -- in research, 60g of onion juice increases test by 300%.)
>Simple (probably the quickest, most filling meals on the menu -- protein is used in so much that 1-2g/lb. is *the* solid suggestion. In fact, research states that serotonin/dopamine respond very rapidly to diet.
Notes:
Casein shows a bunch of benefits vs. whey -- increased bone statistics, fat loss (2x), lean mass gains (2x).
A supplement that's probably worth trying is calcium phosphate powder. Calcium is used for neutralizing acidity, which is plausibly beneficial for joint health. Dietary phosphorus is an element in, e.g., energy production.
I also get L-tryptophan and L-phenylalanine, with mucuna pruriens (L-DOPA), and a strong antioxidant for dopamine protection (ground cloves). Studies state rapid responses to serotonin, dopamine, etc., from these amino acids.

A study suggests 15g of vitamin C and 1gal. of water. This supposedly supplements the full product of C-making genes.

Wanna know how I know you're gonna gain back all the weight you lose plus more? Living on protein shakes and oil isn't sustainable. It's a crash diet
>>42662903
I'm actually gaining weight on it. I should count the calories, because I couldn't even gain weight on 3k.
What's your actual debating point?
>>42662501
BTW.. K1 / arugula.
so i quit smoking by using a vape, which helped my cardio. then i quit vaping by using toothpicks, which helped cardio even more. i soak the toothpicks in a little bit of whiskey in a plastic baggy. kinda feel like the dude that pretended to be driver and got laid. coo
>>42662368
Vaping is almost healthy but I'm gonna steal that whiskey toothpaste idea senpai.
Whatever helps you quit
Keep at it
>>42662395
Whiskey flavored toothpicks are the bomb diggity for quitting nicotine. They really soak up the whiskey after 2 days
no-fap raises lower than test
>>42662397
what did he mean by this?
