Look.
I've read the sticky, I've read a shit ton of articles on starting strength. I can't tell if it is actually good or not. Even though the sticky suggests is, /fit/ seems to think its a joke.
Is it worth doing for a few months, or will I turn into a fat person who can deadlift a pseudo-impressive weight?
Tips?

its literally called starting strength. you do it for a few months, learn good form, build a strength base, then move on

I did it for a while just to get decently stronk. Then started doing other brosplit kinda crap. Who cares though. Just lift heavy and light weights. See what happens. Have your whole life

Hey /fit/, I know waist trimmers are a meme but hear me out-
I've been reading that the fat around your midsection is hard to lose /utilize due to poor blood circulation. If belt thing increased the blood flow to the area in combination with IF/Caloric deficit would it make sense that fat would more easily drain from that area? Furthermore would cravings be reduced since the stored energy is more easily drawn reserve?

Morning. I basically have boiled eggs, oatmeal a banana and orange juice.
Lunch I have a tuna sandwich, yogurt and a fruit or vegetable and green tea.
Dinner I try to have Beef, chicken or fish a side of pasta, a vegetable or a salad or baked potato with some milk.
I sometimes change up items but try to keep that as my base. I only eat that heavily on hard workdays. I have 2 glasses of water but I figure I get a decent amount from what I drink with meals.
Cheat day. I don't eat junk all day but I will have maybe a fast food meal or a big dessert. Mostly I'm drinking 2 cups of green tea a drink for a snack I like rice cakes with peanut butter and honey and baby carrots.

If the weight is heavy enough, you don't have a choice.

What's a bodyweight routine I can do at home and see any results with? I'm trying to do Stronglifts but I always either wake up too late to go to the gym or lose the motivation to leave the house. I have no problem motivating myself to actually lift the weight, it's the act of getting a ride and going to the gym 15 minutes after waking up that stops me. I've given up on bodyweight stuff because I don't see what the point is of it for someone like me who's skinnyfat but maybe since I'm lifting such low weight at the gym anyways lifting my own bodyweight will be beneficial. I'm 140 and 6'1 by the way, probably between 15-17% body fat
Please help me guys, I just want to be bigger and stronger but I won't be able to have weightlifting equipment like a squat rack and barbells at my house for at least 6 months

So, I see you're in the bargining phase of your grief over the fact YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO MAKE IT.
>>
>>40643022
Agreed.
>Not being motivated
>Making it
Pick one.
If you really need a bodyweight routine, then do a deck of playing cards workout. Pull ups not optional.
>>
Why can't you go to the gym later in the day or in the evening? Is there a 24 hour gym near you?

I've only been to the gym twice this week due to being sick /fit/, should I go today anyways so I don't lose my gains?

No, wait it out. Just take a fuckton of meds and stay in bed. You will likely have lost a tad bit of strength and feel shitty when you go back to the gym next week, but it's better than prolonging a flu and losing even more gains.
If you absolutely need to do something, just do some pull ups or dips at home.

Anyone on /fit/ jump rope for cardio?
Ive been reading about it and it seems to be touted as superior to running both in terms of caloric burn and lessened impact on your joints but id like to get a second opinion.

>superior to running both in terms of caloric burn
Run faster. It's more intense than running, less intense than sprinting.
>and lessened impact on your joints
Eh, maybe. Do indoor rowing or cycling if this really worries you. It's all good though.
>>
Love it. It gets the heart racing, and it's gentle on the knees.

>>40642516
Do you use a weighted rope?
