Morbidly dead thread: >>40734755
Who is /fat/ for? Fat members of /fit/ who want to learn how to eat right, lift weights, and lose fat. Here we ask others for advice and give moral support to one another. We all know how hard it first is and we all have to get through it to better ourselves. At the end of the day this is a support general whose goal is to help and motivate the chubby channers who need it.

Drumpf Ameridumb edition i see
3rd for keto
Give me motivation as to stop lifting for girls and start lifting for myself.
being two months since I've hit the gym last time after realizing lifting wont get me girls and I've regained all the lost fat.
I feel like shit.
>>40740043
I'm genuinely interested in this question: what deluded you into thinking it would fetch you women in the first place? What specifically gave you that idea?
What socially helpless and generally unattractive person gets women just because he lifts weights?
>>40740105
I was a newfag.
>>40740148
That doesn't account for delusion about how an entire gender thinks. You weren't born yesterday.
Is it a meme or not?

>>40740035
>Is it a meme or not?
my uneducated guess is that no its not because yohimbine is banned in my country. usually shit that actually works is illegal.
It's fake and gay.
ECA is tits and real.
Time for me to get fit, I've read the sticky now what?
I've been coming and going on here for a while, just lurking but never actually doing any lifting. The general impression I get is half the people say that starting strength is the best place to start, and the other half say SS is a meme and to do something else.
So honestly guys, what do I do?
Keep it simple and explain what you mean, somebody saying shit like do a 5x5/3/4/8 split is nonsense to me, help me out here.
Just pick up some weights and put them down. Youre worrying about a program and havent even completed a single dumbbell curl.
What are you at now and what are trying to do? Are you fat? Are you skeletal? What are your goals?
>>40739969
I've done a few dumbell curls, ohp with dumbells some shit with kettlebells lately, I joined a gym for a while but didn't know what the fuck I was doing so I stopped going, and eventually when I got the motivation back I started reading shit on here, and now here I am.
>>40739997
5'11" 80kg basically close to zero muscle.
I just want to get some meat on me, I'm not aiming for full on fitness model just yet, but something resembling ottermode would be a decent start.
Are there any people here who actually properly ran SS, eating 6,000 calories a day for the whole thing? What do you look like now? Pics would be great.
I want to build more strength before switching to a higher volume hypertrophy routine, but I just binge watched My 600 Pound Life and I don't know if 6,000 calories a day for six months is worth it. I know Rippetoe says time is precious, but I'd gladly overload more slowly if it meant not becoming a fat sack of shit.
>>40739811
I can't see any circumstance in which 6,000kcal a day is necessary. Anyone who ate 6,000kcal a day for 6 months would become a fucking monster (and not in the good way).
You could easily do SS at 3,000kcal or so and receive equally valuable results as long as you eat at a reasonable surplus and get enough rest.
Assuming you are natty, yes, there is a limit to how much muscle you can actually build within a certain timeframe. The exact math is kinda hard to pin down, but the general consensus seems to be that anything more than 500 calories per day surplus is wasted (i.e. will just go straight to fat.). And it may be even lower than that.

Like clockwork
So i'm 6'1 and 167 lbs.
My goal is set for august to be lean in body fat and maybe 170 -180 lbs.
I know I can accomplish this.
My gf really wants me to get the "v" abs while I just wanna be strong. I have a really demanding job that rotates 12 hour days and nights with 6 - 8 hours of travel a week. Lack of sleep, tiredness and motivation are something that I obviously struggle with, especially when it's cold out.
So, CUT or BULK first?
>>40739139
Bulk. You don't have the discipline to cut.
Cut the girflriend
>>40739139
bulk on roids
BROSPLIT VS PPL VS UPPER/LOWER VS FULLBODY
why is brosplit the best bros?

>>40739074
dont ever fucking reply to my thread unless you are contributing
I like ppl but just push and pull no leg day so for example i do squats on push day and deadlifts on pull day.

me IRL
I know I need glasses but I refuse to get them
Remember how optometrists and television sellers said that staring at tv screens WOULDNT hurt your eyes? And that it was an old wives tale?
Oh and glasses make your eyes weaker. You actually have to actively STOP watching television screens and reading books and rest your eyes.
There's also some eye exercises you can do to strengthen them and help them relax.

If you're ugly and uncharismatic like you, then yes.
am I the only one who sees how feminine lifters and body builders can be? they constantly show off their body like the exact slut you've shown...it's honestly the equivalent when you think about it. so yes, they're made for each other.
Is that what a real man looks like?
from what I can understand even though "tyler" is imaginary in the movie they used a real actor to portray him to create a twist ending with an unreliable narrator.
So yes, a real man does look like that.
this bit does always make me laugh tho
"is that what a real man looks like?"
>takes off shirt later
>looks exactly like that, just dirtier and sweatier
>>40738759
That whole movie was really homo erotic. No one noticed tho because gay hadn't been invented yet.
