I lost my motivation /fit/ and I'm losing my gains. Help.
You want to go so go brah.
You're just kicking up a rest year. Good for muscle confusion and resetting your gains
>>42443304
It's as easy to get addicted to gym as it is to stop going.
You have to be strong and just fucking go for 2-3 days and you'll want to go everyday again.
You can do it brother.
How do I find friends to lift with in University? I have no friends right now as a freshman who just moved in to the dorm.

So anons, I just earned my 1/2/3/4 today... When do I get my qt3.14 gf? Or do I need to get to 2/3/4/5 first?
3/5/7/8 at 9%bf minimum
>>42443275
Congrats on the 1/2/3/4 anon, now start working on those social+mental gains
>>42443275
Which lift was the toughest to get for you?
How come the only people with the balls today are old dads and young lifters?
Young men seem to be emasculated if they dont lift.
>>42443236
High test/ young = lifting
Old = arthritis and can't lift but still manly

What can you tell me about coffee? Is it dangerous? Is it beneficial? I'm mainly interested in using it to boost my mental capabilities and increase my productivity but I'm worried that I might get addicted and become dependent on it.
Share all of your thoughts and experiences regarding coffee in this thread.
im addicted and dependent on it and i fucking love it.
>>42443186
Its the best way to ingest caffeine (antioxidants) but overuse will fuck up your adrenals
>>42443186
is it dangerous? no
is it beneficial? maybe?
is it addictive? oh hell yes
Need some advice guys. I was planning on starting a cut but I injured my lower back a few weeks ago so I've only been doing bench press and chin ups. I don't want to lose any strength or muscle should I cut anyway? Try to maintain? Are heavy bench and chins enough?
Maintain until your back heals. pretty fucking simple
>>42443184
If I were you, I would wait it out. With a grade A diet, you can minimize any loss in strength and size. Spinal injuries shouldn't be taken lightly. I'd let your body rest and heal so you can return to the gym at 100%.
>>42443443
Should I be maintaining then?
>getting to sub 15% bf

>jelqing consistently until i hit 8x6
>>42443138
jelqing doesn't work bro
join the military, become infantry officer
>>42443138
jelqing is retarded and you should feel bad for doing it

>only averaging around 70g of protein per day when I should be getting 157g (1g for each lb of bodyweight)
how can I more than double my protein intake without going over my calorie limit? whey powder only helps so much.
>>42443099
You actually only need .3-.5 grams per lb of bodywieght. 900 calories is awful low, and you would be better served eating healthy and working out intensely.
>>42443197
900 is low, but I've been having a lot of trouble losing weight recently. I lost 15 lbs over three months earlier this year, but I've hovered around the same level since then. Part of that is definitely due to muscle gain, but I still have around 22% bodyfat, if my visual estimate is right.
I thought the conventional wisdom was that you needed 1g for 1lb, who's saying its .3-.5?
>>42443197
Absolutely false for anyone trying to maintain lean mass and reduce body fat. 900 is also way too low. Find your BMR and eat 20% less than that. Find your BF%. Stick with .8-1 gram per pound of LEAN MASS to begin with. Once you actually reach your beginner goals, you should start taking in more protein. Idk where you got .3-.5 but that is entirely too low.
I posted this in a finances page, and everybody immediately climbed down my throat demanding that I continue to live in brain-fog and drop every spare penny I have into my debts for the next 10 years, because some idiot convinced them that was better than finding new income to pay it off without making yourself miserable. All I want is some grocery advice.
I have some liveable income for the first time in a long time, it has the potential to grow with the right attention, and so I'm trying to keep myself in good shape to pursue this growth. More than anything else, this means regular exercise and a proper diet. I have little reference experience.
I have $495 CDN to invest in feeding myself and fitness. So far, I've been suggested caffeine pills and not much else. How can I use this money to best take care of myself? What is the best way to buy food? I'm totally happy to eat the same bland thing every day for as long as I need to afford better if it accomplishes my goal of a clear mind and maintained body.
Catalog skim tells me you like pepe, so pepe.
Please help me, and thank you, /fit/.
you were wrong, we don't like pepe.
this is a wojak board, now and forever.
>>42443047
You have my sincerest apologies.
>>42443030
why are you such a weepy faggot who has to write three paragraphs about himself? You already know what you have to do, take responsibility for yourself and do it. Unfuck your shitty diet. Lift 5 days a week. Sleep 8 hours a night. The end. There is no secret.
Why not just do a bunch of push ups every day instead of going to the gym to do a convoluted strength training routine?
Not as effective for building mass or increasing numbers.
>>42443014
Goood idea. Do that OP.
why not both

My right bicep feels ripped and torn. My left shoulder is shocked. My nervous system is wrecked and my adrenaline glands are blown out. My entire body is fucking ruined and I've been going to the gym every day for quite some time now, and I feel like every sense of logic is telling me not to go to the gym tonight, but tonight, I'm going. I'm going to that fucking gym. To see what muscle is left that I can possibly not traumatize. My chest is burning, my shoulders are crying, my back is aching, my mind is torn. My arm are sore. No amount of protein seems to heal my ache as I challenge myself daily.
COME AT ME, IRON. COME THE FUCK AT ME!
>>42442991
sounds like you need a rest day broseph
take care of yourself now
u probably shouldn't work a torn right bicep
