i thought this shit died already
>>40605558
It's not dead, it's just forgotten.
Dudes come on, it's been a month since I last saw an owg.

Hopefully not. /owg/ is best thread
What was your first day in gym like?
>>40605004
no one insulted me and told me to leave like i imagined 1000 times they would, so it was great
>>40605004
Felt super nervous and uncomfortable. 1 year later i think its funny how much of a gym noob i was.
Signed up and went on the first day it opened so I would get mixed in with all the other noobs
Only person who brought a towel into weight room- immediately felt majorly self conscious and retarded
Picked up 20kg dumbbells and couldn't lift em, cycled down to 18kg, 16kg, 14kg and finally couldn't lift more than 12kg dumbbells. Probably looked like an actual retard.
Had literally no idea about routines or exercises or form- just picked up dumbbells, did bicep curls and tricep extensions and left.
Came back 3 days later and did it again. gg
What are the pros and cons of putting butter in your coffee?
>>40603549
it tastes good t b h
>>40603549
its basically like cream, so it's only natural to put it in coffee
just don't fall for the "bulletproof" meme, literally any coffee and any purified butter/ghee will work just fine
i even just use plain butter sometimes and voila it doesnt make a difference
It's retarded.
Don't be retarded.
Where do you fall into this?
>>40602824
incel
>>40602824
Your chart is gay and stupid.

Genetic trash and incel, but I am White... so I'm automatically in those categories
I want to quit playing CSGO, for the sake of my future I need to do this.
I only have three hobbies: Online games, offline/story games, and lifting.
I only play offline games when they come around, I'm playing Zelda at the moment and loving it, but its not an addictive time sink like CSGO.
The gym only takes up 4 hours per week directly.
What are some hobbies I can replace online gaming with? Help me lads.
Whittling
Getting rejected by women
Why the fuck are you playing GO in the first place, play real CS.
Am I honestly supposed to believe the average guy can bench 160 lbs? Most fags in my uni gym aren't benching lmao1pl8 let alone 160 lbs
>>40599777
All the young regulars in my gym can bench 2 plate. 160 is where you should be within a couple months.
>>40599796
Well yeah I believe that. But the "average guy" can bench 160? What a bunch of horseshit
>>40599777
Are you trolling me dude?
I lift for girls.
there that was pretty easy, why can't you guys admit it too?
>>40595386
I lift for girls too and it actually works
Well i lift for myself cause i like to look shredded and feel strong and lift bitches up like it's nothing. It's like an attribute that i love having. Getting girls to mire me is just a huge bonus to that.
i had no problems getting laid almost every day before i even started lifting so i lift for health benefits
Show us your dinner, fellow fats.

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.

It could be a few things, but the solution is all the same. You're eating too much and need to cut more, you need to put some cardio in your routine, or you have some stubborn water weight. Cut some calories this week and work out a little more, then check next week.
>>40594854
alright, I'll try to put in more work this week.
thanks friend

anyone else smoke? how does it affect you at the gym?
i just started working out and i run out of fucking breath lifting weights with huge rest periods...
30 years old. 12 years ago i could -run- 10 miles without a problem. now i can run a single 10 minute mile..
i run out of breath more while lifting weights. how to succeed?!
>>40613152
Gotta quit smoking. No way around it. Find a store brand nicotine lozenge.
>>40613152

tried smoking a few weeks ago for the first time. it's pretty tame, the high only lasts like 15 seconds per hit and it burns your insides
>tfw 5'9 manlet
Im 18 years old. Do people still keep growing after this age? I dont want to be a filthy manlet pls
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
>>40612578
you got till 21, but don't think it will be more than an inch
This "manlet" thing is a meme. There are many girls smaller than you all around the world, don't worry about that.

Don't forget that cologne is a great complement to your personality/body/style.
What fragrances does /fit/ wear?
>Pic related, though I'm thinking about picking up Acqua Di Gio Profumo
>>40612219
Current lineup is:
Hermes- Terre D'Hermes. Best straight orange scent I can find, but fairly one note, not that I mind.
Bvlgari- Bvlgari Aqva. To replace Nautica Voyage which I wore for literally 8 years because I loved it so.
Annnnd, DSquared- HeWood Rocky Mountain. Wonderful cedar.
I like pretty one-dimensional scents so long as they're not artificially smelling. If anyone can recommend a good fragrance with pineapple (that is not Creed Aventus) please let me know.
>>40612219
If I had to pick a cologne to complement my personality and body I'd just cover myself with shit
I use cologne every day but after an hour or so I stop smelling good
What are some tricks to smell good all day?
anyone who's actually /fit/ but still smokes? can it be done?
no it can't be done
>>40612020
Really hard. Recently quit for the 8th time.
Started when I was 15. 24 now. I've quit 7 times previously ranging from 3 months to a year. In total I've smoked about 6 years.
I'll have a cigarette when I'm drinking that I'll get from a friend. But I refuse to ever buy them again. I'm older now. I understand the addiction better and I'm just alot happier now not breathing in smoke.
Try your best to quit anon. That shit is literal cancer.
>>40612020
Cardiofag chainsmoker here, it can be done.
I've ran a marathon right after I burned a few with no problems. The trick is to build up your lung's tolerance to deal with the decrease in output.
It took me years to reach this point. My first few half marathons I wanted to fucking die. I even threw up during one.
But I persevered, and now I'm reaping the benefits of both health and pleasure.
We're all gonna make it...
how exactly does one counts calories? Do you look up nutrition info/100grams on things and put portions on a small scale? or maybe from unity? I really have no idea
it's really annoying and time consuming, just go by intuition
Weigh everything.
>>40611859
That's exactly it. It would be really hard to lose weight or gain it without counting, my fitness pal really helps with this
