HOLY SHIT I LOVE THIS THING.
Too bad I suck at it.

great post

I was meant to write favorite equipment thread. I got too excited and forgot.
Where are all of these TDEE calculators getting this bullshit from? I have skimmed the original Harris-Benedict paper on human metabolism and don't see anything related to TDEE or activity levels.
Does anyone have a source for actual research conducted on this? No paper ever cites where they are getting this shit from, just saying it is a "guideline".
Stop using these calculators.
Just pick a calorie number to hit, and weigh yourself in every single day.
After a month or so you'll get a 99.99% accurate estimation of your maintenance.
pic related for example: Im eating 3000 calories a day, doing about 45minutes cardio everyday, lifting 3 times a week, and I'm not gaining any fat, and weight is staying relatively the same thus far.
>>41657546
Well I am mainly interested in the science behind it and how they made these determinations. Being unable to find it is pissing me off more and makes me want to find it even more since it is such a common thing people use these days in fitness
>>41657546
>stays the same weight for a week
sure is working for you bud
So i went to the gym for the first time in January, and this is my 5 month transformation, i started to like going to the gym even tho i dont see much results, and i know 5 months isnt much and some of you lift for more then few years. I wanted to ask on some tips on how to get my arms little bit bigger, i feel much more confident then i was before but i still wanna get better, thanks guys
you look the exact same.
must be a diet issue
>>41657499
>transformation
What is it with you guys going to the gym for a few months and posting your "transformations"? You look exactly the same in both pictures, as is to be expected after lifting for 5 months.
Which one is before and which one after???
Gotta drink big to get big
>>41657429
Your twig arms suggests you do neither.
u shouldnt be eating and drinking in a libary

Ewwww get that anime shit out of my thread and off of my board
Look at the title of this board, where does it say anime? Protip: it doesn't
If there was meant to be anime here it'd be called /fat/
Because all you weebs ARE
Ahahahahahaha

Knowing that no matter what you do, unless you're a fucking rock star, girls aren't going to be into you like they will the carbon copy of you that is 6'3" is very disappointing. I am perfectly happy with literally everything else about me. My height fucked me. I'm handsome, smart enough, talented enough, but none of that matters when my presentation gives away that I'm a fucking manlet and I can't do a fucking thing about it. I don't know what I'd give to be 6'3". Fuck me. Fuck me.

Lifting doesn't even do anything. Getting wider just makes me look even shorter, so i'm stuck in this skinny mode, impossible to be masculine in any way, all because of my fucking shitty height.

This is why I gave up lifting last time. The calorie surplus and extra protein is killing me. Is there an alternative?
eat more veg, like a lot more. have like 200gs of broccoli or peas with every meal, you'll fart and shit even more but it won't be painful, it'll slip right out
>>41657426
I'm already vegetarian so I get plenty
The bloating is the most awful part for me, I feel like a pregnant woman all the time. I really despise eating a high protein diet.
Why would that make you give up lifting, though?
Many of them may be manlets and have smaller than average peckers. But when you see a swole Asian male, they usually stand out more than their beta skinnyfat counterparts. They have the cool factor to them.
Only 1 out of every 10000 asian males you see are swole.
>>41657042
maybe its because they stand out thats why
>>41657042
Just LOL if you arent a swole asian male.
The longer you aren't a swole asian male, the longer you stay an incel

Because we've all seen too many martial arts action movies.
Would you be willing to give up your lbm to become a cute girl?
2D, yes
3DPD, no
>>41656848
I'll at least see how far I can get without pills.
>>41656848
I'd be willing to give up my lbm to be WITH a cute girl.
How the fuck do you get rid of pimples on the back?
They are the only place on my body that I get pimples. and they never seem to stop.
get a backwasher, get a suntan.
>>41656809
Change your sheets and undershirts more often
Wash your back.
Don't use plastic loofah scrubber thingamabobs.
If you use a natural loofah/sponge, keep it clean, let it dry, and replace it every month.
A washcloth works great provided that you wash them after every use.
If you have long hair, keep it off your back.
Saw this being retweeted by some flat ass bitch, why do people think this works?
For the untrained girl, it probably does induce some mild hypertrophy, and results in a shapelier bum.
>>41656522
are you retarded? it won't just magically cause volume or shape, they need to be doing squats with weights and taking in protein too.
untrained or not, the results are the same. if you have a flat ass THIS WILL NOT get you a nice ass, and all the "before and after" pics out there are lies!

Clearly I've hit a wall. I feel more self-conscious about my skin, stomach, and tits than when I was 350lbs.
Can /fit/ provide me with recommendations on how to get over this hump?
Where should I be focusing the most in the gym/kitchen?
How many calories are you eating per day?
How much exercise are you doing?
>>41656423
what wall
you just need to keep going
make sure your diet is balanced and that you keep working hard
if you have guts, try running.
seriously, jog for a couple minutes and then take a min or 2 walk then start running again.
eventually you'll be able to run for at least 5+ mins before taking a rest walk.
>>41656456
I couldn't tell you to be honest.
I've been working out about 3 days per week min the past 5 weeks consistently.
Some weeks I've exercised 5-6 times during the week.

The fuck is a NEET meme

>The fuck is a NEET meme
What does he mean by this?
If you really want it you'll find a way, if not, you'll find an excuse
Is body recomp a meme or can it work?
Anyone have any experience with eating TDEE long term?

I've accidentally done recomps instead of cuts before. I noticed it especially happens when I end up calorie cycling. But that wasn't longterm.
>>41656184
Huge Black Flag and Rollins fan but this was spot on. Guy is a self-righteous douche.
I JUST DID MY FIRST UNASSISTED CHINUP FeelsGoodMan
Tell me about your small accomplishments that you take/took a lot of pride in.
Are you talking chinup or pullup?
>>41655926
chinup. still too weak for pullup :( but used to be obese fuck so i'm still happy
I used to not be able to, but got a gym membership and a friend, and went from only 5 pullups to 1 full set of pullups.
Good on you, man.
Day 14 of nofap and I have lost all emotions for women. You guys never told me I'd turn gay.

Watch bitches flock to you because of how indifferent you are
>>41655778
Honestly breh, I see a ton of hot chicks all the time and my dick wants to defenestrate their holes but then I hear the shit they say and I wanna blow my brains out.
It's a lose/lose type of situation tbqh senpai
>>41655778
Nofap isn't for everyone. For me it just killed my libido and I had to deliberately masturbate to get it back.
