what are some /fit/ approved colognes? I'm thinking of buying this one.
>>40686829
Don't go cheap on cologne. Spend over 50 on whatever you buy. The cheap ones always smell like cheap cologne
>>40686829
pheromones
>>40686854
I am not going cheap, just looking for some suggestions from fellow /fit/ guys.
I've been lifting for a year now. My fucking strength isn't increasing , I still suck at deadlifting 100lbs. My form sucks. I've started following SL5x5 recently. Any tips?
PS:- Whenever I deadlift , it kills my back and mostly when I'm doing it , it feels in lower back.
Height - 6 ft
Weight - 65 KGs
>>40686365
>183cms, 65kgs
Start eating moron
>>40686365
the form is probably lacking, a video would be helpful
when I first started, I remember not engaging my legs to the lift. You have to pull with your legs in the beginning, and once you are high enough, you have to use your lowerback like a crane for the final push. Do not round your back, if you do that then you aren't capable of lifting the weight and should probably deload or try again next time.

what the fuck OP?
Hey /fit/
Cross board poster here. Some anon suggested starting a ketogenic diet. I read a little about it and it seemed okay, but I wanted to know your thoughts. Any input?
Yes.
>>40686283
best way to cut weight. but count your calories, keep your protein up to around 2g per kg and lift/exercise
>>40686283
if you have problems with over eating, keto is a pretty good way to eliminate entire food groups.
For 6 months I'm doing this workout at home.
Monday:
3x12 Front Squat - 77 lbs
3x12 Stiff-Leg Deadlift - 77 lbs
Tuesday
3x12 Lying Press - 68 lbs
3x12 Bent-Over Rows - 68 lbs
Wednesday
3x12 Military Press - 55 lbs
3x12 Shrugs - 77 lbs
Thursday
3x12 Lying Triceps Extensions - 44 lbs
3x12 Biceps Curls - 44 lbs
Friday
3x12 Good Morning - 66 lbs
3x12 Crunches - 66 lbs
I'd rather prefer do a little exercise every day than just 3 days a week.
Since I can only do morning workouts at home, I wanted to know if you guys have any workouts that I can do with only barbells 5 days a week.
>>40686189
why 5 days and not 3, ie do SS?
>>40686189
>3x12 Front Squat - 77 lbs
is this some kind of joke?
>>40686189
SL or SS. Get a pullup bar and do chinup/pullup progressions on deadlift/OHP days and find somewhere to do dips on bench/row days
Enjoy.
What does /fit/ do when they aren't lifting/eating? What are the best hobbies to go with this life? Or the best occupation?
Reading Philosophy
Playing Piano
Laying in bed for days at a time and lurking. Shopping for food/cooking.
I haven't been in a good place mentally for a long time.

What do you do for money?
What's the best vegetable?
I know, I know "eat all the veggies". But that's bullshit - most vegetables are horribly low in nutrients and mostly water anyway according to sites like nutritiondata.
There's not even a list or something to find out which vegetables are rich in more than one or two micros. It all seems like a big fake shit to me.
No vegetable can compete with, say, eggs or liver when it comes to micros.
Am I right here or am I looking at it wrong? Carrots are basically beta carotine and nothing else, asparagus is more or less pure water, just like cucumbers. Broccoli? Got C and some K, nothing else (raw, mind you, if you cook it, it gets even worse). Spinach, the touted super food, has good K ratings and a bit of A, nothing else.
What the hell, guys. Are veggies even healthy?
Stop eating them for a year and see what happens.
>>40685996
How the hell would you do that? meat and oats? Ugh.
>>40685972
>Are veggies even healthy
Are you really that retarded to even ask this question
How DYEL are 14" arms?
>>40685967
How tall are you
I have 15.7 inch arms at 5'9 and people say my arms are big
apparently 18 inch at this height is huge
>>40686271
Not OP but I'm 5'8 manlet
>TFW literally just barely in range testosterone levels at 21 years old
>Pretty much no facial hair
>No chest hair
>Horrible "gains"
>Terrible sleep quality
>Kissless virgin because beta and no sex drive
>Doctor doesn't even care when I brought it up with her
Why even lift anymore? It's just a waste of time for me to be honest.
Youre using "low T" as an excuse. You are still in the normal range. Suck it up. Instead of finding excuses, find solutions.
Doctors don't generally don't care about if there's something wrong with you unless it could be fetal.
Guess guys like us just have to suck some dick to get to a pussy. If you have love test you're doomed to going through life like a beta and doomed to taking shit and getting cucked,so we kinda have to suck dick for pussy. Srsly though OP, for me being a low test beta all my life my psyche started to blocking out attractions to girls irl(because that felt so bad because they seemed so unrealistic and they hurt knowing ill never get a girl), so I started to develop cuck fetishes and penis envy, later that developed into full blown homosexuality.
Basically not getting laid and having low self esteem turned me into faggot.

Noob lifter here.
I am experiencing discomfort in my upper back / lower neck when squatting. I've tried with and without padding and I am fairly sure my technique is OK.
Are there any other things I can do to remedy the situation? Can I switch squats for leg press?
>>40685913
Its okay to switch squat for press, squat isnt okay for all body types.
What kind of pain ? Bones, joints, muscles ?
>>40686125
Feels like a kind of pulling sensation between the vertebrae. I feel it the most after I rack the bar.
>>40685913
Don't put the barbell on your neck, you idiot
What supplements does /fit/ take?
Are multivitamins a meme? Fish Oil is the only one I take atm, should I add anything else?
Creatine.
>>40685753
Fish oil, aminos, and whey. That's all I use.
>>40685753
vit D is no meme, i take a multi too because my diet is shit and its cheap peace of mind
How do I stop feeling like such a fucking midget?
I realize that I won't get any taller, so is there any way to cope with my height?
Fix your posture, win in every other aspect of life and accept you are inferior height wise. Get the fuck over it.
>>40685492
depends if you're actually short of just fit meme short
>>40685809
Probabaly fit-meme short
Are there any over the counter test boosters that actually work? I'm pretty sure that I have low testosterone at this point. I have a hard time getting properly lean even at low body weights with decent diet and exercise, I have awful insomnia issues, I'm depressed, and I'm fairly injury prone. I'm also 22, and none of my doctors will even entertain the notion to the point of getting blood tests, let alone put me on TRT. Is there anything I can do to at least somewhat unfuck my shit that doesn't involve Chinese bathtub chemicals for the next few years until I can legally get on TRT? Pic somewhat related.
>>40685306
I am using test currently.
Testosterone will not fix your mental health issues if you dont really have low t. Buy a cycle+pct online and you will see for yourself if trt is right for you.
Once you go on it fucking sucks coming off. Really understand that you need to see if you legitimately have low t or are just going through a period of depression and anxiety. Maybe you just have autism and shit diet/training/sleep.
I didnt get bloods before I started pinning and now I dont know if I had low T or was just going through a rough patch for a few years and it would have ended regardless if I pinned or not. I started pinning on my 20th birthday.
Before test I was miserable with zero sex drive and never wanted kids. I planned on killing my self via steroids.
Now after 16 weeks I feel confident as fuck and realized I can do fucking anything. I want to fuck ALL the time. Now I want to get a thicc bitch pregnant and raise a family.
I was already confident and good looking before steroids. I still have thoughts of depression and anxiety, now im just more motivated, sexually charged and respect my self a lot more.
You will look and feel good but it will probably kill you slowly long-term and that will eat at you. I may not ever be able to have kids and have to be stabbed with a needle twice a week for the rest of my life. Consider this.
Real post. Real anecdotal evidence.
>>40685306
>Are there any over the counter test boosters that actually work?
no. unequivocally no.
>>40685444
If I go on TRT I want to do it under the supervision of an actual doctor. I definitely have issues, but I've been eating decently and going to the gym for awhile now. I was just wondering if there is anything that can help me a bit until I hit 30.
Any old fags remember the good old days when trappy was still here.
Also any old programs/images can you please share, i deleted all of my old shit.
Any thoughts or opinions on the Keto diet? I've been doing it for a week now, and I seem to be losing weight.
For those who don't know, the Keto diet is all about reducing your carb and sugar intake and replacing it with fat intake to replace the missing energy. Thus, your body starts producing ketones so you use fat as energy rather than carbs and sugars. The first few days are brutal and you feel like shit because your body isn't used to no carbs, but after that you feel fine.
Pic unrelated, it's the only picture of food I had.

Interesting video, I like it. Yeah, the keto diet is based on human biology, you just have to think what we ate back before the Industrial Revolution.
Hey /fit/, I've recently broken up with my girlfriend and I miss the fuck out of her. It was toxic, and it needed to end, but I'm spiraling into depression. I need to change my life. I've always wanted to get fit, but never do, and I hate myself.
I need motivation. Girls won't do it, as I fucking hate them all right now, they're all cunts to me (right now, at least). I want to do it for me, but I'm a pussy. How do you guys stay motivated. Controlling your diet, your workout, your time. Give me tips. I'm hoping to get into it by fueling the workout with the rage and sadness, but I'll be over her soon (by mentality, or An Hero) and I want to continue after, but how do I stop myself from being lazy. How did you guys do it.
>pic unrelated
>>40685012
Not lifting for girls is a good start.
Now read the sticky.
I think Shadposting is officially getting out of hand.
