If you really want to make us laugh, tell us the amount of weights you lift while worrying about this fear.

372.5kg PL total bro...

yep. everytime when i use to smoke weed i would fear going to the gym lifting heavy

switched to just focusing on mind muscle connection using lighter weight with perfect form like every one who has a nice body does. havent looked back, body feels better, its like yoga with moderatly heavy weights. i also started using machines more. its an option if you wanna take a break and get over that fear, the desire to lift heavy does come back

Fatlets, when will they learn

Just report and hide. It's obviously one or two manchildren trying to false flag.

Ya man! Recenty picked up swimming again as wel and digging it so far. Never really researched anything about routines and such though, so I don't have much to contribute. Will be lurking and posting interesting stuff I can find in the next hour

I'm cutting right now and I do HIIT in the pool twice a week.

6x50 M sprint with progressively shorter breaks in between. (Use freestyle, fly or back, not breaststroke.)
Another amazing feeling is to just swim a kilometer or two in the pool for moderate intensity cardio.

Don't mean to shoot you down OP but swimming is one of the worst forms of cardio. Typically you need to effectively double the amount of effort you put into running to match the amount of calories you'll burn swimming. However, swimming will give you a better workout and build muscle better than running due to the higher level of resistance.

A few stroke tips:

For front crawl, make sure to be breathing bilaterally. Every three strokes is the typical time between breaths, breathing in for two seconds and out for 4. You want your cheek and ear to remain underwater whilst only your mouth surfaces, so that you remain streamlined in the water.

For breaststroke, you don't want to be pulling and kicking at the same time. For your arms, imagine your scooping out a bowl with the palms of your hands as your bring them together under your chest. Difficult to describe but you should be able to find a video explaining. Once you've extended and contracted your arms, you should kick. Once you've kicked, you should immediately reintroduce the pull. Basically, no part of your part should ever be static for long.

For backstroke, there's not a lot of tips. Only thing I would say is that you need to be turning your palms so that your little finger enters the water first on every stroke.

Finally, recent research has suggested that spreading your fingers slightly into a rake-like pattern is beneficial for front crawl, as the space between the fingers develops a web of water which increases the surface area of the hand and gives you a higher level of propulsion.

Also, don't forget to warm up and cool down. Whilst you won't feel it when swimming as much as you would running, lactic acid buildup can ruin your training. Typically do 200-400 meters of each stroke before starting a session, and half that on a cool down.

Hope I've helped OP, good luck in the pool mate.

For anyone who is reading this who is struggling right now and thinking about taking this route to try to better their life, DO IT. It’s too easy to sit around and make excuses, and nothing in this world that’s actually worth getting will come easily to you. You have to be able to take it, and you won’t be able to take it if your lifestyle includes constantly compromising and second-guessing yourself. All you have to do to start is just go outside and RUN.

I literally thought my life was hopeless and over, and was able to completely turn everything around in a few months with just a little bit of effort and mental toughness. I had heard so many times over the years that the way you take care of your body is the way you take care of your mind, and stuff like that, but I thought that was just corny cliché. I thought that I know myself better than anyone, so why should I listen to these fucking people who don’t know me at all? I’m so glad I could prove myself wrong in such a short amount of time.

My question to you, /fit/, is why the fuck doesn’t everyone do this? Why do people continue to sit around and wallow in their self-pity, when the answer to their problems is right in front of their noses? If I can do it, literally anyone can.

they look real to me

ab benches aren't necessary at all unless you are a shredded fucker who needs his ab exercises to be extreme.

Completely unnecessary. If you are going the home gym route, invest your money in a good power rack and flat bench instead. There is no necessity for any machines that are for ab workouts alone. Maybe an ab wheel if you really want to.

they are one of the very best exercises you can do for your abs. They don't strain your back as much as flat crunches or ab machines and you can add a lot of weight while some ab exercises become absolute after beginner level.

However abs in general are low priority and you should really only think about it once you got your pullups, ohp, diddies, squats, benches and covered.
