Can we have a /fit/bit thread? I've never seen these discussed here, so I assume we pretend to hate them (normies reee etc) but let's skip that for now. Some people I work with claimed to be more active than me, and challenged me to get a fitbit and join their little club to prove them wrong. Buying a piece of technology just to make some other people eat shit seems a little much, but I had honestly been thinking of getting one for a while and they seem pretty neat. Anyone on /fit/ use these? What do you think of them?
General /fit/ accessory thread I guess

I own one of these since September and I really like it. The burned calories tracker for me seems pretty accurate which is a pretty nice tool when bulking or cutting.
Its also kinda motivating when you get all that data about how active you are over the past few months, especially when you are a numbers nerd like me.
10/10 would buy again (inb4 shill)

I got the charge HR about two years ago. The thing ends up breaking for one reason or another every few months. (bands bubble up, or the back snaps off and wont charge, or random technical error where it stops counting anything or randomly reseting, etc etc)
While it's under warranty, you can get them replaced after running the "have you tried rebooting? no sir.. hold for three seconds reboot" gauntlet with pajeets before they believe you and replace it.
After my (no joke) 4th replacement, i stopped going back. I would love to have a solid one that worked, but I got tired of dealing with it. I loved the HR and sleep tracking features the most.
Hopefully future generations of them will be better. I'm thinking of getting a smart watch, what do you guys think of that?

Buy more small plates. Don't waste money on 45s. Better to have a 25 and two 10s. I you're spending your own money, this is a good way to optimize cost. Definitely calculate everything first.
Other than that, just buy a power rack and an adjustable bench. That's pretty much all you'll need.

Time for a making it thread
Supermang got a gf and started a family. He is the manlet who finally learned
He "made" it that's why he's isn't here with us anymore
Same thing happened to all the great trips of the past
instead of accepting defeat like /rk9/ or focusing on a scapegoat like /pol/
Is /fit/ is a self improvement purgatory? Frantic activity in the face of impotence?

Why do some people think strength = aesthetics is a meme? Isn't it basic logic? The reason why I bring this up is because I made a post last night related to this subject, and many people were responding that I fell for the strength = aesthetics meme.
We know the main impetus to muscle growth is progressive overload (more volume over time). If I'm benching 135 for 5x5, I'll make some gains until I stall. I could bump it up to 5x10 for 135, and make more gains, but there comes a point where I'll be working out in the gym 3 hours a day to get in enough volume this way.
If I can increase my 1 RM to, say, 185, then 5x5 will get me more gains. Then rinse and repeat.

aesthetics is very objective - look like a greek god
strength can be to impress your grandma, or lift the heaviest weight a human has ever lifted.
And the latter do not look aesthetic.

Daily reminder to not obsess over lifting otherwise it will tear you down. Enjoy it as a hobby and eat when you are hungry and shit. Be as happy as you can be anons. This is a feel thread.

brehs are doubleproteins really a viable bulking food? Won't the bad quality fat fuck you up in a long run? Are clogged veins just a meme, or a real threat? How often is it safe to eat greasy shit in general?

You'll get gains but your heart will explode from the dirty gains and no cardio. CT Fletcher is a great example of what happens when you eat dirty. Granted he also lifts like a psycho so yeah.

There is no "bad quality" anything. There is only too much or too little. Your body is a machine that requires specific amounts of types of input to function at optimal performance.
Calories in, calories out
Optimize macros, balance them to youe preference
Get proper amount of vitamins and minerals.

are you man enough to decide right now to take cold showers for the rest of your life? I decided it in the beginning of 2015 and not a single drop of hot water touched my skin since then.
Don't you just wanna feel the urge to headbutt Mike Tyson after a real fucking nape-killer icy shower?
Don't you just wanna feel being the only real guy in a crowded room you just had entered, knowing others would cry for hot water while you would step cold-bloodedly under the tap?
Don't you see the equation that in a situation where all other conditions are equal, guy who takes cold showers would beat the shit out of the hot-showering pussy?
Don't you wanna have the rooted inside-voice that will alert you whenever you wanna ease a situation, not only when you wanna turn on the hot tap?
Don't you want your son to have a proper dad, not some faggot that can't stand the water coming from the other tap?
It will be a new step to manhood, trust me. Other benefits are;
>harder erections
>balls getting slightly bigger due to rising sperm levels and quality of the alive ones
>increased range of ejaculation
>whiter and thicker cum
>faster fat loss due to elevated metabolism
>better skin
>shiny hair
>better sleep quality
>reduced stress levels
>bursting agressiveness when needed
>increased alertness
>can wake up in the mornings without effort
>not being ill anymore except a slight cold which you can get over standing

Sorry bros, but as someone who has been on and off of /fit/ for the last five years (age 18-23), it's painfully true. Girls don't give a fuck as long as you look "cut" and being tall really helps. Also if you're a hungry skeleton like I am for parts of the year, get some tattoos.

Do zercher squats. Its almost impossible to mess up the form on those due to the weight placement. Plus they're comfy on your back.

Daily Reminder that the underlying factor of obesity is not calories, its insulin, or rather insulin resistance.
Get to know this smart gentleman, Dr. Fung. His argument is that insulin and insulin resistance are the enemy in terms of obese and he takes a “hard fast” into intermittent fasting approach.
On a very technical level; yes, calories in calories out. But you can increase the efficiency of your body drastically with these methods. It is not how much you eat, it is WHAT you eat. It is not eating 6 times a day to keep your metabolism going, it is eating 1 time a day to keep your insulin levels low.
There are a lot of fat people out there cutting calories and starving themselves to death. They have been set up to fail, the failure rate is astounding and it is the wrong approach. Sure you will lose the weight but you won’t keep it off and you will rebound to an even fatter state. Just ask any of “The Biggest Loser” contestants.
Dr. Fung suggests a fasting period to deprive your body of insulin thus reducing your insulin resistance (or tolerance if you prefer) levels, switching to a fat heavy (or protein), low carb diet, and maintaining an intermittent fast thereafter.

Today I want to open with why processed carbohydrates are bad and natural carbs aren't as bad. Fung explains that fiber is the antidote to toxic carbohydrates. Whenever you find carbs in nature you find fiber. The problem with is that when all these carbohydrates (whole grains, sugars, fruits) are refined they lose most of their fiber and protein. Therefore you are getting the toxin without the antidote which causes the problem. In theory, so long as you're eating natural carbs that aren't refined, you should be good.
All this is explained in the 3rd installment of his 6 part series on obesity:

How much did you squat once you were just starting out?
I'm doing 5x3x65 lbs and I've been squatting for a couple of weeks.
Is this really weak? My friend claims to have done 5x5x125 lbs when he was a complete beginner.
