tfw made it out of obesity, now i am overweight.
>>40471031
Congrats, anon, I'm about to break from overweight into normal. Level down to level up.
We're all going to make it!
>>40471065
thank you friend. how do you feel about your body? notice more attention from others?
>>40471031
Congratulations!
You're making it.
I live in a hot place (around 35°c at day and 29 at night). Is it humanly possible to condition yourself to sleep with no AC or fan without feeling uncomfortable?
>>40470889
Ice cold shower before you go to bed. I did it through Sydney's recent heatwave of 35 degree nights
>>40470889
Just make it a part of your routine to build mental discipline.
Combined with a simple calisthenics program (80-120 reps each of pushups, situps, squats) and a bit of running (6.2 miles or so a day), and you'll be on your way to making it in no time at all.
Humans have lived without AC longer than they have with it, bruv. You just can't imagine it because you cannot recall a time before AC.
In short, yes.
Which is more appropriate to workout with, a snapback hat or a beanie?
Normally I wear beanies cause when I wear normal hate I look like a douchebag.
you are a douchebag
>>40470682
how about not wearing a hat, baldy?
Neither. Cut your fucking hair you tool.

I'm tired of living in this fat, disgusting, nation where laziness and gluttony is considered the norm! Where should I move once I save enough money to leave the land of the fatties?
>>40470414
Try somewhere near the beach.
>>40470414
why would u leave your area?
just lose weight and get fit. then you'll have your picking of any hot girl around you.
don't fuck it up oP
Hey OP I'm in Indianapolis. I came to this board because I'm a 5'8 mallet at 185lbs. It makes me feel better that I'm at least not as fat as the lie damn Hoosiers. I'm starting a cut. Other anon is right, stay here, get fit, and pound IU vague with me.
Good night /fit/ :)
>>40470365
Nanight anon, don't let the gainz goblins bite ;)
Sweet dreams faggot
sleep tyte
Face it /fit/, there is nothing wrong with this picture. The man is confident enough to have a girlfriend who is taller than him, so why can't you be as confident as him? His confidence got him a hot wife. Your confidence got you the wrong drink at Starbucks because you were too afraid to speak up.
>>40470150
good for him

Nobody outside of this shitboard cares

normie girls certainly care about height.
Whats the best way to stop feeling so sore after a workout and how do you recover faster?
I've finally got the motivation to go to the gym regularly but my body is so sore after a workout that it takes me 3 or 4 days to fully recover. I usually push through the pain barrier but I feel like its affecting my workouts because I can't do everything I want to do in the gym.
I'm fine with feeling sore, I just wish it didn't take me so long to recover from it
>>40470055
stay hydrated and track your calorie blah blah
eventually the sore goes away or at least you'll get used to it.
>3 or 4 days to fully recover
jesus dude. can we see a pic of you? do you lactate?
>>40470055
stretching??
Haven't fapped for 24 hours...new record boys
But pic related is what i feel like... I don't think i can take this anymore...
>mfw you fell for the nofap meme and i've already fapped 4 times today
>>40470050
get off your computer do some crunches and go to sleep
Best I can do is about 60 hours.
Just keep trying to go longer each time. This may sound weird but I record the time when I fap and then try to last at least 24 hours until I do it again. I just looked and it's actually been exactly 24 hours since my last one. I'll likely try to wait until about this time tomorrow to do it again, but even if I break it tonight I'll have at least gone a whole day. Just take small steps.
>>40470077
It's not necessarily about doing No Fap for me at least. I just find that when I fap too often it eventually doesn't feel that great. Also I do it (space out my jerk sessions) to just see how much willpower I've got.
I realized how good /fit actually is
most of you are fucking cunts and assholes
but you give actual advice that really helps people
not "get shredded abs in 5 minutes" not "lose 50 pounds in a week" just actual advice
and it has helped me a lot
ive dropped from 275 to 245 just by intermittent fasting and calorie counting.
not even exercising so much.
so thanks guys.
oh yea post success stories here i guess
>>40469769
Good job. Now keep it up, fatass.
>>40469784
thanks bro will do

I recently added chin ups to my sl workout. They want me to get to 3x10. They are added on to OHP day.
The best I've managed is 5,4,4. But I can't seem to get any better. I seem to have stalled around these numbers. Even with 5 min breaks between sets.
What can I do to smash through this ceiling?
>>40469513
One word: consistency.
Make sure to eat maintenance or surplus and keep doing your chin/pullups. Improvement is inevitable
>>40469513
If your gym has an assisted chin up machine, use that. Wide grip and a steady progression got me from not being able to do 1 half-assed pullup to the point that I can do around 10 dead hanging pullups with no kip.
>>40469513
Looks like a dolphin without the googly eyes
I just had my first protein shake made with a blender and it's pure pleasure compared with the lumpy shit you get with a shaker bottle
I need to make up for lost time and lost gains. what are your favourite blends, /fit/?
(Bonus: I'm using Optimum Nutrition chocolate flavor whey, it tastes OK. Whats your favourite whey brand & flavor?)
>>40469423
That shit is fucking delicious
>>40469423
Optimum nutrition's the nicest I've tried. The powder seems a lot finer compared to some of the others.
I don't want my protein shake to be delicious, I just want it to be drinkable. Some of the flavours from MyProtein and ProteinWorks had a bad aftertaste.
>>40470281
No, but that shit is unironically TASTY
Hey anons, I need some advice. I'm 5' 10, and I weight 110lbs. First of course I need to get some extra pounds. I want to stop being a weakling, /fit/. Some help? Nutrition plans/ Exercise plans? I'm willing to do anything. Also, should I pay for a personal trainer or just go to a normal gym and do my shit? Is going to some place neccesary at all? Can I just do calisthenics at home and go for a run? Should I buy some weights? Thanks guys.
110lbs...
Eat literally everything. Chocolate. Milkshakes. Crisps. Fast food.
And don't fucking stop eating.
Eat til your stomach hurts then eat more asap.
You are not capable of accidentally getting fat if you're 110lbs at 5'10.
Don't even think about trying to gain weight by eating "clean" foods.
Start dirty, and get cleaner when you learn how to eat a man size meal.
>>40469135
As for exercise. Read the sticky and pick a beginner program.
That in conjuction with eating lots of food will QUICKLY put a lot of muscle on you. Your body will be crying out to gain some.
if you're willing to do anything you might start reading the fucking sticky
also do SS+GOMAD
That's it banned from my gym.
3 strikes and out for life ;_;
First strike because I forgot my indoor shoes
Second strike because I didn't wear gloves while using dumbbells
Third strike because a woman complained I was creepy
Yeah I may looked at her while she was on the stepper, I like fine asses sue me.
Anyway I need to find another gym now
Sounds like a retarded gym desu. Especially the second one wtf I don't see a lot of people using gloves to handle dumbbells, so it's retarde to expect everyone to do the same.
The third strike it sucks to be you but don't worry you will find a less cuck-tard gym Anon
>>40469098
sounds like you might have forgotten to tip the gym clown anon
>>40469098
Sounds like bait
But if this is true then you better be thankful to them for kicking you out
Sounds like the gym is being run by utter faggots
Sup /fit/ so my gf broke up with me and I've been devastated a mix of sadness and anger. But I've decided to turn my life around to prove the cunt wrong I'm not worried about commitment to this because I'll just use my spite to fuel it but the problem is that I'm the heaviest I've been all my life (21 6'2" 265lbs) and I haven't touched a piece of exercise equipment nor dieted since highschool.
My question is what are some good body weight exercises to get started (I'm getting a gym membership soon but I have to decide whether I want to use the local anytime fitness, YMCA or travel about 30 minutes to go to an actual gym). As well as some good cheap meals/recipes that I can prep at the start of the week.
Also what are your guys thoughts on Grey Skull as a beginner routine?
Thanks for any advice /fit/.
>>40469026
Without a decent diet in place you'll never lose weight.
Focus on the diet first.
265lbs is Probably why she ditched you. If you don't give a Fuck about yourself why would you give a Fuck about her.
Diet is 90% of losing weight but no reason you can't build a little muscle whilst dieting so do SL whilst eating right.
A good first step is cut out fizzy drinks and bread
Buy bulk frozen chicken/turkey/fish
Cook as much as you can in one go.
Box it up with a small helping of rice, and as much veg as you want.
You can generally make 5-10 meals in one go depending on the size of your oven.
Add mustard or other low calorie things for flavor if you need it.
Diet is the cornerstone of losing weight, you can't do it unless your diet is suitable.
Honestly, meal prepping is the one biggest thing that helped me stop being fat because if I have a meal in front of me, it stops me buying easy shit from a shop.
Greyskull is a good routine.

>range of motion rows
Is she doing it wrong?I kinda use momentum on my rows too and now I'm trying to improve form.thoughts
>>40468554
Depends. If she does all her rows like that, then shes a faggot. Thats hitting her traps more than her middle back. But that is more because of how upright she is standing.
Personally I think the best idea is strict form for your prescribed reps followed by momentum to get as many more as possible.
As for the woman in your gif, she clearly uses steroids so don't take notice of what she does.
>>40468586
>strict form for your prescribed reps followed by momentum to get as many more as possible
yep thats what I'm doing atm.
>>40468554
>all that momentum
