What are some things that are negative or suck about fitness and going to the gym?
I find the negatives oddly motivating
>Costs money
>Takes time
>You go through new sets of clothes more often than a baby
>Grocery spend goes up
>>40640516
My gym is very cheap only 30$ per month food is cheap for me bc farmer I want a potato I walk outside and yank a potato lol the clothing issue is the only one that gets me but i dont mind since I have No fashion sense and This give me the opportunity to constantly try new styles
People automatically assume you're dumb
women look at you
so i'm feeling fat and lazy for not getting exercise except for cardio, but the tattoo artist kinda wants me to take it easy maybe. he said because the inner elbow is such a hard place to get the ink to stay (without "tearing me up") that he wished he could make me wear a splint while it heals. so now i'm kinda paranoid about it and also my arm fucking hurts and looks pretty torn up in places. scabs are forming and it's starting to heal i'm sure but yeah.
since i'm sure everyone who's into fitness has badass tattoos (fuck yeah!) i figured you guys would be the best to ask. also my wrist is swollen a little
>>40670032
The fuck is that tattoo.
This is b8 right?
>>40670045
oh that's just some tattoo i found on google looking for bad tattoos. you want to see mine? i can take pic
>>40670032
A tattoo is permanent. You fuck it up, that's it. You can get back the gains you lose.
I've been calorie counting for a little under 2 months, only have gone under my limit 3 times and every time it's been because of wings.
How do I stop falling for the sauced jew?
>>40669509
hello fellow /fit/ /pol/ friend.
A legit Jew here.
The sauced Jew is my only downfall. Or the occasional Famous Daves rib.
I just make sure I do legs that day to purge myself of the sin.
>>40669509
also, WTF are you at 1690 calories? I'm doing 1800 at 5ft 11 and 190 but its only to try and lose weight for a BJJ comp in two months.
>>40669556
Started at 200, I was gonna do an extreme deficit until I hit 180 then IDK what.
How long did it take you to get to 1/2/3/4? Also, what routines did you do?
Please only post in this thread if you are 1/2/3/4+, no liftlets please.
>>40669175
I've been lifting for 5 years, but super inconsistently. I spent about a year on pretty much every day.
Then for the 3 years after that I'd have weeks where I'd go 3 times a week, and then month gaps in between. I was lifting everyday this summer, took some time off in Fall, and now I'm back it at least three times a week. I hit 1/2/3/4 this past Summer.
I probably could have gotten there in like 2 1/2 years if I had stayed consistent. The fall break dropped my strength. I can get 1/2/3 now but not for as many reps as I used to do. I tried 365 DL a few days ago and only got 2.
>>40669238
As far as routine goes, I started with 3x8-10 then 5x5, but I don't really keep track at this point. I more go for what feels right.
I definitely always aim for heavy lifts over reps, so I tend to stay below 8 reps for most lifts, but in terms of sets I keep going until I know my body is at its limits. I think this is much better than coming to the gym with the idea that you're going to do x reps and y sets. Just know your body and go to your limits.
I made sure I did the big four 2x a week, I'd do 2 warm-up sets at lower weights for 8 reps then do 5x5 heavy lifts, then 3x3 + 2.5kg (for bench and ohp), once a week I'd do my 1rm 2x1. Bench and ohp exploded this way. With squat and deadlift you can add 5kg every 2 workouts, BUT you have to make sure you have good form. For squat I had to relearn everything from pussy weights and leave my ego at the door.
/fit/ im new here and wondering if you guys know is it possible to get good looking abs in a month.
if so what would be the best way to do it
pic related its me
>>40669012
Travel back in time 2-3 years and start lifting and eating right
well if all you care about is abs definition, calculate your TDEE and eat like 800kcals below it while working out, though you're not gonna see all that much diff in a month. if you actually wanna get in shape however, read the damn sticky
>>40669012
starve yourself
/fit/ my parents bought pizza even tho i told them not too and it was too tempting so i ate it and binged on some bacon and now i feel guilty REEEEEEEE
Learn from your mistake. You don't have to say no to everything, but you have to moderate. That's the whole thing. I understand this very well. I hope we make it, brah
>>40668973
It's not your fault, it's your PARENTS' FAULT.
GO FUCKING YELL AT THEM.
>>40669014
Thanks brah. I told my parents many times not to buy it yet they still bought it. I couldnt help myself.
From a fitness standpoint, what causes a "food addiction?" There has to be something off in the brains of the morbidly obese for them to allow themselves to get to such a horrid point.
>>40668828
it's just a form of self medication like any other addiction -- escape from reality and distraction from depression. also if you're like me and have always been fat, you were probably always reminded of how fat and pathetic you were so at some point you just decided to embrace it. until recently, in my case anyway.
>>40668828
Eating causes small amounts of Dopamine release OP. Dopamine is the shit that makes you happy. Your brain causes this release of Dopamine to reward you for eating because food is necessary for survival.
Unfortunately in the 21st century where people can get virtually as much food as they can eat they can binge on this Dopamine release to gain temporary happiness.
>from a fitness stand point
It's all mental you stupid fuck. When something makes us happy, we continue to do it. If there is no other source of happiness, we turn to the easiest source. This is with any addiction, our brains need our fix. Whatever that fix may be, ofc.
I lift because it makes me happy. To see how strong I can become, see where I was, see where I can get. But at the end of the day, im not doing it in a healthy manner brah...im fucked just like a fatty. I want to surpass my limits...i keep going back to lift the next weight. I keep chasing the dragon. We're all fucked brah...
What is your post workout and off-day static stretching routine?
>>40668532
inb4 this thread gets less than 5 responses and another mirin' stories non-fitness thread gets 300+
>>40668532
I only stretch legs regularly cause I have instable shoulders from what my surgeon calls, "hyper flexibility".
I just touch my toes for 1 minute
stretch quads for 1 minute each
stretch calves for 1 minute each
And butterfly stretch for 1 minute.
I don't think it's very good but I refuse to stretch for a half hour at a time.

Why are /fit/ women such degenerate sluts?
Why are /fit/ men such degenerate sluts?
>>40668382
Contraceptives largely removed men's emphasis on virginity in potential mates, which originated due to paternity uncertainty. What's more important today is post-marital fidelity. Little do most women know that their whoring around before marriage can impair their ability to attract an attractive, resourceful man.
>>40668382
Why did you put /fit/ in that sentence?
Alright so I want to start working but but my body is a fountain of sweat. Especially my ass. I swear from my ass the most. In fact, I don't even need to exercise for my ass toff sweat. I would be walking around in public and my ass starts sweating. I always think people can see it because whenever I walk past people, they start giggling as I pass them and some stare back at me, but whenever I check myself, I never usually see it.
Anyway, is there a way to prevent this? Or is this normal in the first place?
>>40668370
sweating at the gym is alpha tier
if you don't sweat/get reddish you're not doing it right
>>40668937
What If if happens way too easily
My running pants get sucked into my asscrack when I run because it sweats so much. What can I do to prevent that?
>>40668246
There are over a billion Pajeets in the world, so u have to figure there's like 3 or 4 among them, even with their atrocious genetics.

Fuck you /fit/ you did this to me
>>40667781
>packing peanuts
Explain.
>accidentally
greentext pls
>>40667811
I was at my local department store and I heard /fit/ say that peanuts were good for bulking. I found some for a steal of $1.99 for this big bag. I got home and opened it and thought they were some weird hybrid peanut that tastes funny.
My stomach hurts to much
