Was at the gym this morning and some nerdy looking young guy came into the gym. He did the virgin power walk straight to the squat rack.
These are the people taking advice from /fit/ and leddit.
> the virgin power walk
the what?
>>40553925
Hahah broo, if you have to ask...
>>40553891
I see you've been here two months
>lifting weights
>thinking it would stop me from hitting you with a huge left hook
I'm a street fighter and being big doesn't make you tough at all
>>40553809
Yuh huh
>>40553809
i don't spend much time around minorities so i'm not really at risk of getting sucker punched by some random subhuman
>people who train for a specific sport are better at that sport than people who don't
What the fuck I hate weight lifting now
I might have fucked up my life for 2017, I am not sure yet but I might have fucked up guys, I need someone to hold me and tell me what I think will happen will not, but I might be over. It might be over for me senpai
>I'm all done
I might be unemployed next month
>No job
>I am sending out resumes/applications like crazy for the past week
>I might not have a job in three weeks and I am stressed about this
>I have enough money to survive 3 months
>>40553769
What happened senpai?
if it makes you feel any better I got blackout drunk and told my friends my darkest deepest secrets while crying like a bitch
>be me, scrawny DYEL khv
>get act together and get fit
>now cut A E T H E S T I C khv
Girls literally don't act any different around me then before, except now I get guys constantly asking me about my routine and whether I approve of their shitty bro-split.
Who else fell for the /fit/ meme?
You must be short like me.
its all about FACE, FRAME, and HEIGHT
you're ugly
self improvement /pol/ack here.
>was benching free weight
>Remember Rogan saying don't do more that 5 rep
>Remember not to be a pussy
>All is fine
>Max out at last rep
>Arm collapses inward
>Weight falls awkwardly into my chest
>Friend said he heard bone hit
Currently in a lot of pain, can't still use arm fully
What do?
>55 dumbbell
>5x5
kikes and niggers made your bones and muscles so weak you can only bench 55lb dumbbells
Update : I am stoned to ignore pain.
>>40553715
Go to the hospital you absolute dumbass
>hey /fit/, self improvement /pol/ack here, just coughed up blood and my left side went numb, what do?
For those on keto, how is it going for you?
I've been thinking of getting on it and have some questions:
How long will it take to lose 5% body fat on keto (I'm at 17% would like to drop to 12%)?
How long will it take for the body to switch out to fat from carbs as the energy source?
Will I lose muscle mass on this/will I be able to still make gainz?
To my understanding you only count the net carbs so fiber would not be in the final count, correct? kthx.
18 minutes
>>40553575
18 minutes what?
>>40553561
>How long will it take to lose 5% body fat on keto (I'm at 17% would like to drop to 12%)?
nobody can predict your weight loss because everybodys body different. but probably 2-3 months
>How long will it take for the body to switch out to fat from carbs as the energy source?
48 hours since your last carb
>Will I lose muscle mass on this/will I be able to still make gainz?
most likely since this is your first time doing keto and you'll probably have no energy. just lift heavy and hope for the best
and yes u can take fiber
>tfw people assume I'm dumb because I'm quiet and have an extremely deep voice
>>40553477
Why the fuck do people assume if you're quiet you're stupid
>>40553477
>>40553519
Let's be honest though, you two probably are quite stupid. It's just that everyone is smart enough to pick up on it except you
>>40553539
B-but I have a degree in electrical engineering

Being overweigth is unhealthy? Nobody would have guessed!
You better tell those fatties right away, I'm sure they will change their life immediately
>>40553342
Wait, so cancer rates increasing as obesity rates increase isn't a meme!?!?! Thank god we spend so much on research.
>>40553342
What is this picture? Real?
1) which is the better BACK/LATS workout?
2) which seems to activate your BICEPS more?
>>40553337
>>40553337
Chin ups
I must suck at lat pull down or something but it's the only movement I can't really feel my back with. Pullups, barbell row, seated row, anything else is money.
>>40553337
Both are pussy excercises. Replace lat pulldowns with pullups or chinups. Replace rows with heavy ass powercleans
*blocks your path*
>>40553086
All dat hgh gut
>>40553086
too bad i got some blow darts, time to pop those balloon muscles
I've finally decided to fix my squat form. For the last 2 years, I've been squatting above parallel and it's starting to piss me off that I dont have an accurate label for how much I can really squat
So my issue is I can't reach parallel without my lower back rounding, and that would eventually lead to serious problems later down the line which I'm trying to avoid. Right now, the depth I can reach is maybe pic related with 3pl8.
What would help me hit parallel or even ATG without rounding my back ? Do I need to work on my mobility for something ? I should also say that I have really long femurs (22", I'm 5'11) so I know that that doesn't help in squats, but I should at least be able to safely hit parallel.
>>40552881
Do you do highbar? Try switching to lowbar. Watch mark rippetoe's how to lowbar squat on YouTube for pointers.
>Hip
>DRAAAHVE
>>40552899
Yeah, I do highbar. Bar pretty much rests on my traps. I tried doing lowbar while fucking around a few months ago but I don't think I could get the form right. I did like 3 with 135 and my back was killing me when I finished.
>>40552923
Try fucking around with it some more, maybe with just the bar for awhile. My shoulders used to get really tense and hurt during lowbar when I switched over but it went away over time.
If you break at the hips with a slight forward lean (head neutral, nipple pointed at the ground) and drop straight down with the bar over midfoot it should be pretty easy to get to parallel and lower even.
If you're still unsure, post a form check vid of your squats in /plg/. If you go to college, they probably have NASM or ACSM certified trainers that you can use to form check you.
I fucking give up
I can't fix my diet for fucking SHIT
Been doing stronglifts for 3 months and can deadlift my bodyweight but I still look like a blob
If I do cardio I fucking stall on the weights next day
You'll have to make it without me /fit/
>>40552518
if you can only deadlift your bodyweight, you should look like a blob or a skelly
>>40552662
but I wanna lose weight
I just can't find a good nutrition program to stick to and end up eating white rice + chicken 2 times a day
>>40552518
k more mires for me
OK /fit/izens, should I give up this Tibetan crocheting board for Lent? Yes/No and why.
give up something important for lent, not a fucking internet website.
this is a good fucking idea, I'm giving up on video games and TV shows for lent. god bless
>>40552478
Only if you want to fail. You cannot leave this place. Dont forget, you're here forever.
Which of you degenerate /fit/izens will I see? Any /fit/ celebrities mention that they will be there? I'm going all day Saturday. My goal is a pic with Zydrunas or Shaw or Hafthor
>>40552411
>Zydrunas

Feck. hopefully hes still there so we can embrace.
>>40552553
shaw and thor will still be there, but I doubt that Z is coming. shaw and thor will probably both have lines a mile long too because of how high-profile they both are and idk what the availability o each one will be on saturday. best of luck though! I wish I could go
Hey fit, im a bit new to weightlifting, i started training a month and a half ago with a personal trainer, 3 times a week..
about 2 weeks ago, there was a sudden weakness in my left arm, from that day, i cant barely lift with that arm. my right arm and legs are perfectly fine, and after a week of rest, it is still weak. there is no pain or anything.
Do you guys have any ideas? do i need to go see a doctor?
>>40552361
go to a neurologist, you could've damaged your spinal cord
>>40552361
Yeah go see a doctor. If it was your right arm np but it's your left arm. This could indicate heart problems.
Could be a stroke
