So over the last couple years I've turned into a thicc steroid monster. But now I have a problem: people seem intimidated by me. Resting thug face combined with introversion means nobody ever talks to me. Dyels keep cucking at me, e.g. they avoid eye contact, apologize to me for nothing. When I ask them if I can work in they leave and let me take their equipment even if they were obviously still using it.
How do I become more approachable? I'm not a violent person, I'm not gonna chimp out, I just need to make people stop getting that impression. I thought about maybe wearing something effeminate like the sweater in pic related (in a large size). If people ask me why I have it I'll say I stole it from an ex-gf. Will this work? Anyone else know this feel?
I couldn't find a sweater like the one in the pic, but I bought one like this off Etsy yesterday. Checked the measurements and it should fit.

Record yourself saying something. Anything. Like read your post with feeling. Listen to it. Thats what you sound line. If you have the motivation to get fit, you have the motivation to change your personality habits and become an extrovert. it just takes a while to become the approachable, charming, always happy, considerate guy. You can make friends with everyone in the gym. Down nods are defensive. Up nods are not. Bro fists are a haptic sign of affection. Tell people to have a good work out. Give someone random encouragement. be that guy everyone is kind of embarrassed of being friends with, but everyone would hate if you left.
No one cares about you right now because you aren't worth caring about.

Oh please buy the sweater and take a gym selfie wearing it. I need this joy in my life.
Share your training regimes, competitive fighting stories and all that shit.
>used to do olympic lifts

Nothing as depressing as realising size and strength are the greatest assets you could ever have :(
>>42439577
3x/week full body routine
No explosive exercises, just classic strength stuff; probably the wrong thing to do but no bumper plates so fuck that
Still take guys out with a couple of low roundhouse kicks but that's probably just cause they're low level fighters
A-at least I have visible abs
Strictly calisthenic training helps with athletic agility. You're training to deliver as much force as you can for a prolonged period, so in fighting terms that's like relentless volume of punches and kicks in an attempt to overwhelm your opponents and keep them off balance.
The most frustrating thing is an opponent who backs off as the pressure gets too high.
In scenarios where you want to end the fight as quickly as possible you cant have your opponent back off because you cant hit them as they move back, you're left with non-striking options: a take down, a clinch or cornering them - you then have hit them whilst in the clinch without giving them a way out.
>Lifting weights
How could anyone fall for such a time consuming meme?
>>42439520
You are right. People who don't train in any art are wasting their time. I love mma
>>42439520
>3-4 hours a week
>>42439520
Alright fags, I'm going all in with the MMA thing. im sick and tired of having absolutely no use for my strength and conditioning. my schedule will look like this:
Monday, wednesday: BJJ
Tuesday, thursday: sambo
friday: boxing
saturday: wrestling
im planning on doing this for at least 6 months-1 year before going into my first fight. wish me luck.
Feeling like a fat piece of shit already. When does it stop lads? I'm on 2700 calories for now. Hit about 2300 calories and i couldn't take anymore food. Also how the fuck can I hit 300g carbs? I had 100g oats with my shakes and ate about 3 cups of rice and 100g pasta. Those added up to about 250g carbs . what else is godtier for carbs?
>>42439504
Christ, how tiny are you? I'm 177cm | 66kg and manage more than that. On top of that its midnight and I have to stuff my face to reach the bare minimum. Pic related.
>>42439504
Lmao cutting on 2900cals
>>42439504
I fucking feel you.
Bulking sucks.
Been lightweight otter mode my whole life from sports, decided I wanted to git big.
A month into bulking and i can tell it wont be long until ive lost my asthetic core thats gotten me a many mires over the years.
Is it worth it, boys?
>mfw you have to be at least 48% gay to post on /fit/
>>42439497
>tfw 100% gay so i can post 2.083 times
>>42439497
Well, I did take a "queer FtM who's heteroflexible" aka "androgynous bull dyke with a moustache and purple hair" to pound town for hours just because I was horny and they told me a rape joke. I mean I fucked the dog shit out of that cunt.
So..yeah...I'm about 5% gay.
good thing I only lurk
Can I continue running SL 5x5 while trying to cut? I've gotten to 100 ohp 140 bench 200 squat 225 deadlift. I'm already finding it very difficult to progress ohp and bench on almost a 1000 calorie surplus. I know the program says to bulk but I'm too fat.
its slimming season noob
>>42439479
Why aren't you doing 3x5 to maintain lifts and more cardio every day on a caloric deficit if you really think you are getting fat?
>>42439479
Stop bulking, you'll look like shit.
Reminder that the fatter you are, a greater proportion of your surplus will be converted to fat instead of muscle.
And vice versa: the leaner you are, more of the excess calories will go to muscle instead of fat.
It feels like with every breath I feel my upper body expand forward but I also feel tired and depressed, something is wrong and i'm not quite sure what, can anyone help me please!
>>42439227
stop breathing
>>42439227
>problem is feeling tired and depressed
what exactly does this have to do with breathing? I mean beyond the fact that if you keep breathing you'll keep feeling tired and depressed.
>>42439227
Go to a doctor faggot
Who here is addicted to this shit? I just started drinking it and I love it. Thinking about using as a prework instead of that C4 shit once I get back into routine.
>>42439172
2 cups a day
>>42439184
I'm on my 4th this morning
Coffee is up there as a legit supp with protein and creatine.
Look at this man, this man went in front of thousands of people in just a speedo with just a little button of a wiener. Arnold didn't give a fuck and half of you that worry about your wieners are probably bigger than him.
Become a sick cunt
Give no shits
You will make it
Arnold was a dicklet. No homo.
>>42439137
Yes! And look at all the pussy he got
Dicklets can be sick cunts
>>42439180
No homo.
Ok guys, going to a Crossfit session tomorrow.
Level with me, is this shit a meme or what?
>>42438992
Depends on if the coach if good or shit
Personally I set my training up like this guy, https://www.instagram.com/p/BXT1m2EDIu1/?hl=en&taken-by=marcusfilly
>>42438992
You will look and feel dumb, but it's excersize. Just try not to let the tire bounce the sledgehammer back into your face.
>>42439029
This gentleman appears to shave his armpits.
So if your BRM is close to 16000 and you eat nothing the entire morning through evening and you want to eat a lot during the night, will the BRM burn that?
>16000 brm
Who the fuck do you think you are?
>>42438901
I meant 1600
>>42438879
are you some kind of failed scientific experiment / mutated zombie, that your body needs 16k calories to fucking sustain it?
What is /fit/'s favorite exercise for losing weight?
Fork putdowns x F
hiit
>>42438882
fpbp also /thread
Ok /fit/, it's too late for a summer fling.
What are you doing to get a GF in time to go in corn mazes, apple picking, and to a pumpkin patch with?
Post progress pics, self-improvement advice, or anything you are doing to no longer be >tfwnogf in time for autumn.
>>42438766
Autumn is bulking season. Time for peanut butter, and whole milk. If you give a shit about stength, time to get those numbers up. I'm actually gonna try to get a gf by updating dating profiles and shit.
Starting grad school in a month. This is the year I get a gf. I can feel it.
Daily reminder that all of us, literally every single one of us, are going to make it.
>>42438822
What is your degree going to be in?
>Carbs from rice
>Protons from fish
>Wide selection
>Tasty as FUCK
>Sumo men
>expensive
>>42438731
>cant afford to eat properly

>>42438731

WHY the fuck am i the only one sweaty in the gym, everyone is dry as fuck.
>>42438682
A mixture of your poor conditioning and their sandbagging? I get sweaty as fuck idk
>>42438682
Idk what you're talking about. Especially now during the summer literally everyone is dripping sweat im the gym
>>42438682
Because others aren't putting in the fucking effort.
