Alright /fit/ I need some advice, 5 years ago I used to be 250lbs with 30% body-fat, now I'm at 154lbs with a body-fat of 14%, I'm a 5'10 manlet.
My issue is that I've still got a low-self esteem as if I were still the same person from then, any advice?
I was never a fatass but I was pretty much entirely ignored during high school, I think there was even an entire school year where I didn't have any friends - not even bullied or anything, just entirely alone.
I'd shake and even have some mild stutter when I talked to girls. Later on served a couple of tours and when I got back no one even remotely remembered me.
So, when I had no one to impress or disappoint but myself I could do things that some people simply don't have the freedom to - and that's things I genuinely liked and wanted to do -
Fishing, hiking, reading all those books you always made a mental note to read but never did, watching movies, learning history, volunteering with wildlife, learning finance, learning to play instruments, learning languages, car maintenance, lifting, going to places your friends never want to go to - every hobby and activity I picked up eventually taught me something about myself and in some way completed me.
I met people through my hobbies and the places I spent time in eventually it snowballed into people just wanting to spend time with me because eventually everyone wants to do fun new things.
I guess to sum it up, live for yourself, invest in yourself, enjoy your life - people will eventually flock to you but what you would've earned way before that happens is the realization that your happiness doesn't lie in other people, that's projection, only you can make yourself happy.
Sorry for the gay zen shit but I hope it somehow clicks.
Lost a lot of weight but I'm beginning to look loose in my stomach and thighs. I lost 55 pounds I currently weigh 170 but I'm having trouble toning up. Any suggestion?
don't break your foot /fit/

Dude you're clearly lifting your left leg off of the sofa, it's only supported by your ankle whereas your right one is flat on the sofa. 1/10

I didn't ask for your opinion.
Does anyone else notice that heavy squats and deadlifts are slowly falling out of style here on /fit/? Personally I think they are both excellent lifts but it's good that people are considering other methods of training their lower bodies and/or working towards goals they actually want to accomplish rather than what rippletoad dictates is the only way to train.

Nothing has made a better impact on my health than eating meat. I'm feeling more energetic, my skin is way cleaner (no acne anymore), I do more sports and I feel better in literally any way. How has eating meat affected your life?

I don't really think about it
ive never been without it

friendly reminder that liver is one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet
>>41893575
whew, its a good thing that by evolution we are all omnivores and can partake in this food without any kind of complications. (I am looking at you vegan fags)
also, have an anti vegan thread general? I dont have much besides this, never really bothered but these guys are becoming annoying.
>>41893575
I love eating liver
>>41893599
what is amusing is that us carnivores can simply eat more vegetables and have every benefit that vegans have but there is nothing in a vegan diet that they can eat more of that will give them the benefits we enjoy from fish and meats
Hi /fit/ How do i strech my calves without over extending my knees? I can stech the calves but only if i overextend my knees idk how to fix this. please help it is really affecting my life.
hey senpai, basketball player here, this is how we stretch calves
You position yourself as pic related, you keep your legs straight, but crossed, feet must be touching eachother; then you bend forward as far s you can.
Then you switch legs.
>>41893511
Look up kneeling/half kneeling calf stretch
Done
>>41894256
Also helps with squat mobility. If you have time look up Squat University/dr. Aaron Horschig video about ankle mobility. P great vids wth good explanation but they're all about 20 mins
>tfw no neck
How do I make it appear again
Doesnt it look strange
>>41893376
Lol
>>41893344
>>tfw no neck
isn't that the goal?
I thought this was the goal
What kind of neck workouts are there? What do you guys like to do? I want to start but I can only think of doing neckbridges.
There's things you can get that wrap around your neck. They attach to a weight and you move your head up and down. Boxers and the like use them - couldn't tell u the name tho.
