Why is sprinting 1 mile more exhausting than squatting 5 plates?
Squat those 5 plates about 10000 times right after the other and that will give you the equivalent distance for running
>>42116541
You cant sprint for a mile. Stop fooling yourself
>>42116541
>sprinting 1 mile
The fitness industry is a sham looking for a buck. Unless you're a professional athlete all you need to do is hill sprint intervals, dips, pullups and maybe some ab wheel rollouts and you're fit as fuck as long as your diet is in check.

You should rethink your life if thats the best bait you can come up with
if i dont do heavy pulls my upper back hurts all the time or i would just do cardio. if you can feel good without lifting more power to you. i'd never touch a weight if i could. once you get older things change.
you posted this in like three other threads already fuckedhead
How often can you go out of your diet?
Depends where you're at right now.
If you're <10% bodyfat you can actually get away with more regular cheating on diet, like every 2-3 days.
Mostly because when you're lean nutrient partitioning is much better.
If you're 20%+ bodyfat, you can't really get away with regular cheating, maybe once every 2-4 weeks.
If you're overweight and greater than 15% BF, NEVER, you fat sack of shit.
As often as you want. It's your life.
Been lifting for about 2 months starting to get some nice calluses
who else has /madeit/
>>42116426
How do you feel so acomplished fellow frogposter? I've improved my pullups from 3 normie pullups to 1 arm pullups (for only 3 months of training after 2 year gap) at 90kg/198lbs BW and I feel this insatiable rage every time I train. I feel so weak and miserable every time, even though I make constant progress. Help me.
>>42116598
here calluses btw
lifting for 4 weeks, bench press is already up to 150
ITT: /fit/ facts you've learned too late
>Anyone who looks good is on roids
>a natty who's been lifting for 10+ years can barely look as good as someone on roids
>carbs make you fat, not fat
>chinups are superior to pullups
>there's literally nothing wrong with using machines for isolation
>dips are a meme exercise with high chances of getting injured
>deadlifts and squats aren't really that important for your gains
>>42116370
Most of these are wrong
>carbs make you fat
No. A caloric surplus makes you fat.
>>42116386
Carbs over 100g are stored in the body as bodyfat
>>42116370
Only true fact is OP sucks dinks
Can we have a /face/ thread? Us ugly to attractive fitizens can never truly enjoy our gains with how we look.
>starts face thread
>doesn't post face
Always worried someone will photoshop me sucking a dick if I post my face in threads like this.
Have this instead.
OKAY /FIT/
I READ THE STICKY LIKE 7 TIMES OVERALL. JUST RE-READ IT FEW SECONDS AGO.
NOW TELL ME THE FASTEST WAY TO ESCAPE SKELLY MOD.
6'4
170 lbs
2nd week of 3,500 kcal/170g of protein diet.
Today's example:
Breakfast: 500g oatmeal porridge with 400g of bananas
Lunch: 300g of baked potatoes with like 150g of baked chicken breast. Training 90 mins later after lunch.
Lunch 2: 200g of pasta with 100g of chicken breast + 200g of banana
Probably goin to find some beans for my dinner, so I end up hitting my calories/protein goal.
What else can I do to save my life

Patience.
It'll take a few months to see change, meanwhile keep working out.
If you read the sticky, understand your BMR and TDEE, and eat more calories (not much more, just more) than you need, then you will make it.
What are /fit/'s thoughts on 5/3/1?
Basic is good if short on time.
Easy to play around with and fluff up for mass.
Slow but steady strength gains.
Its Good, Anon.
Im doing a version of it with heavy and volume days. lift 5 days a week, ULxPPLx
Upper Strength 531
Lower Strength 531
x
Push-Pull-Legs: 5x5 (80 pcnt of 1rm)/8x3 (90 pcnt of 1rm)/Deload (5x3 at 50-60 pcnt of 1rm) + Accessories for each
x
pretty good.
>>42116273
I love it. I just wish there was a 5/3/1 to bring HER back
Gentlemen, I present to you the most pitiful thing I've ever seen
https://youtu.be/XKBbn5GBw0Y
Pretty much sums up everything wrong with the women's fitness industry right here
brb "spot reduction"
brb lactic acid buildup =/= gains
brb "toning"
brb absolutely no resistance in the exercise
Why are you guys into asians, anyways?
>>42116208
they are nicer and more traditional then white "women"

100% Not into the dumb bitch in this video
How much protein is too much? Started a new meal plan with my fitness app and holy fuck i'll be around 600+ grams of protein/day. It's basically just the mass gainer, 16oz chicken, milk, eggs, and sardines. Does it even matter if I eat that much protein, i really need the calories
Hi, Fit. I have a question about Body Re-composition (not cutting/bulking I know those are options). If I am at say.. 20% Bodyfat and I want to gain muscle, if I eat enough protein, won't my body just take the extra energy I need to build muscle from my fat stores? Isn't that how energy works?
Why would I gain more muscle eating extra calories than just eating enough protein/healthy carbs for my muscles to grow, and then if my muscles needed more energy just have them get it from my fat?
Thanks
>>42115719
Because muscles aren't something the body prioritises building. This is why its suggested to eat to a caloric excess; it guarantees muscle growth. I'm sure you would get growth eating at maintenance, but it wouldn't be as much and you would end up stalling quite often. Your body will prioritise fat over muscle for growth, and vice versa for mass loss.
>>42115719
you don't eat more protein in ADDITION to your diet. you ensure you meet your protein goals WITHIN your diet restrictions. in other words cut out your fucking soda and cheetos and replace it with chicken breasts. and if you want to get rid of fat stores you need to CUT your daily caloric limit IN ADDITION to maintaining a minimum amount of protein intake for muscle growth. so in the end you end up eating less shit and replacing it with the protein you need
Some anon posted a few days ago a .Pdf on how to increase naturally your testosterone.
I believe it was called testoboost or testocrash, something like this.
Anyone has it?
Google "increase your testosterone"
Faggot
Bumpu
if it's like 90% of the same advice that gets thrown around for naturally increasing test it's
>get enough zinc, selenium, vitamin d
>if you can't get enough from your diet/sun exposure, supplement (brazil nuts for selenium)
>cold showers
>get enough sleep
>lift (muscle mass increases test)
>supplement using adaptogens to lower cortisol, like ashwaghanda or rhodiola rosea
>eat lots of protein and cholesterol (i.e. eat lots of meat and eggs, they also have lots of selenium/zinc)
>reduce exposure to environmental toxins: stop eating/drinking out of plastic containers, if you eat tinned food, get bpa free tins, wash your hands after handling receipts, etc.
>most importantly of all, get lean (10-12% bf), excess body fat fucks with your hormones (reduces test while increasing estrogen)
the two last ones are the most important, but even doing all probably won't increase your testosterone more than 50% at most desu
Who else here has had 10/10 shits after getting /fit/?
Idk if it's the upped protein intake or what, but pooping is now a borderline transcendental , spiritual experience.
>inb4 I actually look forward to my morning craps
>never going to return to the small, hard turds of McDonald shits
>>42115652
Yeah, I've been having that too for the past couple months since I started unfucking my diet and exercising on a daily basis. Feels good having several shits in a day. Feels damn good.
>>42115652
I had a colon bacteria a few weeks ago and since then my shits have been huge and smooth as fuck.
I am a pretty skinny individual, a little doughy but working on it. Is it true I have to eat a ridiculous amount of calories (3000 according to myfitnesspal) to bulk?
I'm not trying to get too big, but definitely bigger and more muscular. I'm doing lots of physical activity: an intense gym session in the morning, walk around a lot for the rest of the day, and then usually an hour of tennis or basketball in the evening. these exercises make me need to eat a ton of calories.
however, I find myself hitting the protein macro pretty quickly; yesterday I hit like 190 grams when it says I only need like 160. However, I was still like 500 grams off from my calorie goal.
Even if I'm not eating as much as I should, will my body still get better, and will I still lose fat and gain muscle? I'm also eating really clean, so dont want to like eat a tub of ice cream to make up the lost calories
Everyone on this board is a stupid American. You are supposed to eat 1 gram of protein per one KILOGRAM of body weight, not one pound of body weight.
Have fun shitting out all that protein
Bump. Anyone? :(
I've been sticking to reverse fly, seated cable rows, wide grip lat pull down, and barbell shrugs for a month. I want something new to because my back is the hardest thing to work out and don't feel like i'm making progress. What does /fit/ do for back?
pic unrelated
Your back routine is SHIT. Get on a fucking program you dyel fuck.
>>42115339
heavy rackpulls, deadlifts, rows, and chin-ups. Back is my best body part
>>42115387
i now it's shit, you got a better program for back?
