Title says it all, is it a meme or not? Any advantage over a balanced diet at a deficit for fat loss?
I find that I'm not as hungry constantly when I eat keto, so that's definitely a plus when trying to cut.
>>42547035
any metabolic advantage?
Did it for a solid month and a half without cheating and I dropped from 222 to 197. Now I eat whatever and I stay at 205 so I'm happy
I don't feel like I'm gonna make it brahs. I want to so bad but it's getting harder by the day to keep pumping.
What do you all do to keep yourselves motivated?
>>42546953
You ever seen a nigger? That's all the motivation I'll ever need.
Whenever I feel unmotivated, I hear "PLUS ULTRA" roaring in my mind and I can force myself through that last rep or to choke down more food as I claw my way out of skelly mode. The idea of heroism, realistic or not, inspires me.
>>42546953
take a break for a few days and go back to lifting. we're all gonna make it brah
Hey /fit/, I'm a 22-year old virgin incel, and I'm just wondering: what is it like to actually have attractive women willing to have sex with you, and how much better does sex feel compared to just masturbatng?
>>42546951
it's the most mind blowing intoxicating feeling in the world, as long as it's either a new woman, or one you love with blinding passion
>how much better does it feel than jerking
uhhhh its more of a psychological thing i guess...the best sex probably...approaches the level of jerking
>>42546958
So are you saying that masturbating actually feels better than sex? I find that hard to believe.
>>42546972
>I find that hard to believe
then you're stupid, i guess
>eat clean all day
>late night shitposting on 4chan
>cant stop thinking about the pic relateds in my freezer
fuck fuck fuck the low carb diet makes me crave carbs even more. this is my first cut, does it get better as days go on?
throw em out pusspuss
>>42546898
the first few days are the worst
hold out brother
>>42546909
thats what i was hoping to hear, hopefully this is just like an acclimation phase. how many days of cravings go by before your body gets used to the lesser amount of carbs? ive heard of people cutting out sugar for a long time then saying when they eat an oreo its way too sweet, like they are more sensitive to it
Does this happen to anyone?
Lately I've been doing hardcore leg work and I've noticed after squatting I get really emotional. Like I really want to cry type emotional. Its confusing.
>>42546832
I don't get it after squats, but it does happen when I bust out a really intense set. My heart is racing and I can't catch my breath and my body is producing crazy amounts of chemicals.
I think it has something to do with breathing, honestly.
If you are using pre workout stuff, that could be the reason.
Sometimes its so bad I dont even make it home and just cry while squatting
I'm a fat slob. I'm apathetic and feel like my life is meaningless.
I'm an autistic khv who unironically empathizes with Elliot in the show Mr. Robot.
How did you guys turn your life around? How did you give it meaning and stop it from seeming so pointless?
I've tried asking others before how to stop feeling so apathetic and they just told me I'm being a drama queen. I really feel like everything's pointless.
Pic unrelated.
>not deriving meaning from shitposting on 4chan
if you are depressed you should go see a doctor. there's nothing you can do about it on your own. after that it's pretty simple
>stop visiting 4chan or similar boards (biggest waste of time)
>finish school if you haven't
>get a dog so you are forced to go out at least twice a day to get some sun and exercise
>pick up a hobby that involves socializing (climbing, hiking, etc.) (lifting doesn't count)
Hey brahs, I've got a month of NEETing out, and I wanna dedicate that to burning the last remnants of my fat. I've been on a cut for a few months now and have had great progress. How can I boost my fat burning for the next month?? Here's what I've had in mind so far:
>40 minute jog each morning before breakfast
>fatburner pills
>keeping calories at a tight 2000
>swimming almost every day, MMA practice twice a week
>PPL on top of swimming and MMA
Anything else brahs??
Fatburners are literally just caffeine
>>42546591
Cut out the jogging, you're burning energy that can be used for muscle maintenance.
Cut the MMA practice too if you can.
Low calorie dieting with your PPL is your best bet. Be careful if by fat burners you mean like Cardarine, DNP, etc.
>>42546669
Cut out all of that? But keep swimming though? I mean stuff like green tea extracts with fat burners.
Is there a difference between Standing dumbbell OHP and seated OHP? And if so, which is objectively better? thx
>>42546584
Standing up utilises core stability muscles, so standing is much better.
>>42546638
seated without a backrest uses core stability muscles
the difference for the muscles actually worked is minimal. do whatever
>>42546638
Oh I thought seated would help isolate the delts better because you had the back support
how do you talk to a 3d gril at the gym who you've caught glancing at you?
>>42546564
You don't

"Hello, my name is anon. I find you quite attractive and was wondering if you might like to get some dinner with me sometime so we can get to know each other a little."
I go back to college in a week and I'm considering going full cocoon mode.
Focusing on studying, stretching, mental health, and most importantly, lifting and eating a shit ton.
I've already deleted all social media. It's a waste of time, but also I don't want to be tempted to post anything.
I want to totally transform and shock everyone when they see me later in the year.
Does anyone have /cocoon mode/ stories?
I'm 145 lbs and I want to gain as much mass as I can. My goal would be to get to 170 lean by the end of the year. I might not get there, but I'll get as close as I can.
Also I forgot to mention: wearing long sleeves/baggy clothes around people I know to conceal gains until the big reveal.
>>42546531
why would you go "cocoon mode" during college
you sound like someone who has mental health problems. you should be meeting friends who will last you a lifetime. hint: chances to do this RUN OUT AFTER COLLEGE.
Can't you do those things without committing social suicide?
Wait for the big reveal... Wtf mate, unless you do steroids it doesn't work that quickly.
Give it to me straight guys. Do I need to roid for these traps?
If not what is the best trap hypertrophy exercise?
Rack pulls above the knee. Go watch an AlphaDestiny video on traps, you'll make fucking gains guaranteed.
>>42546526
you don't need to roid for traps. you just need big biceps. traps love biceps
DEADLITS AND POWER CLEANS
you dont need to roid but Hardy has naturally huge traps that overpower the rest of his physique. that might not be your case
Anyone else doing these?
>>42546446
that guy can reach like more than a foot lower than i can...
>>42546446
i can barely go past my knees
doesn't matter though, i'm a powerlifter
>>42546446
yes. they are a great mobility exercise. they make leg raises much easier and increase your ROM. use only enough weight for a good stretch though. don't fall for the idea that everyone is doing a milllion pounds as most pictures include some idiot doing hurr durr 2 plate. actually 10-20 kg is plenty in the beginning. focus on form and slow tempo.
Thoughts on video games?
Total waste of time, or okay? If you play, how do you moderate how much time you spend?
>>42546291
2 hours a day max
>>42546291
I've had this conflict in recent times...I've been thinking about getting a PS4 or XBOX1 to have some games to play plus a decent thing to play netflix/whatever off of. Video games suck because there are so many better things you can be doing with your time, but they're soooo fun...I can't have them around or I'll lose interest in my other hobbies like playing guitar and reading and shitposting on 4chan. But ultimately it boils down to being a fucking moneypit that causes me to avoid them.
>>42546291
Depends on the game. Games that have you solve puzzles and challenges are like brain games and are actually beneficial. Games that are 90% cutscene and jam packed with multiculturalism and feminism and other gamergate propaganda are about as good for your brain as a lead sandwich.
Long legs - short torso bros, how do you cope with your weak, girly physique?
Has nature fucked us hard?
yeah might as well cope by being one of those fags that constantly rambles about muh squats and oatz
>>42546222
>tfw long torso
Fuck off it is so much worse
I'm pretty sure that slightly above average leg length on men is considered attractive.
It indicates healthy growth and good nutrition throughout your growth.
Hey /fit/. What do you do if your long term girlfriend gets fat and won't go to the gym? She wasn't really fit when I met her, but she at least had a normal body. Now she's about 20-30 lbs. overweight. I still love her, my family loves her, and she has a great personality, but I'm not as physically attracted to her anymore.
Tell her the truth. FUCK PEOPLE COME ON ITS RELATIONSHIP ONE O FUKCING ONE!!
Tell the truth, anon. It's the only way you will both be happy. The truth sucks dicks at times.
Be honest with her, and take all the planning out of lifting. Basically just make a fucking schedule and list of exercises and tell her to show up, you'll do the rest. She'll either love it within two weeks or you'll know she's always going to be fat.
>>42546103
move on
one thing you aren't ever going to do is motivate an unmotivated woman to work out. she already "has" you in her mind so she doesn't have to take care of her physical shape
this is a deep, deep insight into who she is as a person and you should ignore it at your own risk.
