Used to be at novice stats in October, went through some real shit and was out of action for a long time, only just returning to the gym now
Planning to bulk at 110% TDEE (400g carbs, 135g protons, 47g fat) for 98 days, then cut for 85 until September
Will be following balconybrah's meme routine, will post next
Aiming to add around 3.5kg of lean mass and drop to 13% bodyfat for september
Now, please tell me why i'm a deluded DYEL who will make no gains (not being sarcastic)
also my arms are stuck bent like that because i went back to the gym for the first time a couple of days ago and now theyre stiff as fuck

some more questions
>Is it reasonable to gain 0.4kg a week?
>Is it reasonable to cut at 0.4kg a week?
>Roughly how much lean mass a week would I lose cutting at 0.4kg/week?
>Is my plan to bulk now good, or should I cut?
>>40559896
0.4kg not in muscle mass, unless youre a real real starter and go hardcore.
0.4kg fat is only 3600kcal, so 500kcal a day. quite easy.
if you lift and only eat protein, about grams twice your weight in kilo, you might gain.
cut for summerbody, bulk for maximasing gains. But if you watch your diet, both can happen

I don't get it. How can that beautiful woman find this disgusting ape attractive?
My entire life I've been trying to look like the stereotypical "Chad" when in reality women don't even want that.
>>40560705
desu I've noticed that Chads have it really easy with 7/10 and below girls and roid monsters get the 8-10s but do badly with the 7 and belows
Opinions on the T-bar row? It is meme? I finally left Planet Fitness for a real gym and I want to incorporate all the barbell lifts that we denied me for two years. Is this essential, an okay accessory, or worthless?
rows are rows it doesn't matter
>>40559205
So, if I'm doing a standard barbell row, there's no benefit to also doing T-bar rows?
>>40559190
It'll ruin your body.
>working out for 5 years
>look in the mirror
>realize you look like absolute shit
>work out for 2 years
>eat healthy for a year
>lost a lot of weight but still have a flabby stomach
How do i get rid of this stomach, /fit/?
>Work out for 1 year 3 months
>Look in the mirror
>Realize you look the best you've ever looked in your life
>Decide to shave chest and tummy area to enhance muscle efinition
>Break out in horrible chest acne for a month
Fuck my life. Still, great progress so far.

If it's loose skin you're fucked unless surgery
Otherwise work your core consistently, build enough muscle so your tummy looks small by comparison, and most importantly drop bodyfat to 12% or less til you can see your abs.
Good job ex fatty
Stop eating sugar

>taking advice from a roided-up, hgh riddled, drug addicted manlet

I can guarantee everyone who claims to be on a no sugar diet is still actually consuming sugar everyday.
Had anyone here actually done a true 0 sugar diet? You basically can't eat anything besides chicken breast, tuna and eggs.
>>40559086
Sugar is still unhealthy though.
Help me anons, I can't find any new music for gym/ running sessions.

Why do I keep hearing about the injury involved in pic related? They feel more natural than the conventional. Is there a point in doing conventional if behind the neck feels gud?
Because you're fucking up your shoulder joint even if it "feels gud" you colossal fucking idiot.
Do some research or better yet just keep doing it until you can't lift your hands above your head.

>>40558813
fiction literature is overrated as fuck
learn maths, physics and chemistry instead
BWAHAHAHA that's fucking pathetic OP.
Go back to the fucking dumpster fire that is your life and stay there.

nah no thanks im trying to make something out of myself. you should try aswell :^)
I'm taking a krav maga session in a corporate hospitality event. Is it a legit martial art, or mostly jewish cheating? Will my strength do me any good?
>>40558729
it's deadly force meme fighting. like "kick someone in the kneecap, then gouge their eyes out". All about standing still in front of someone and using leverage to throw them off balance, parrying strikes and countering with strikes that would break your hand if thrown at full speed.
would never work in a practical real world scenario unless:
>you had a knife or edged weapon like a karambit (to ensure 1 strike is all you needed against 1 opponent)
>were a complete fucking psycho and wanted to seriously main or kill people
Fighting with clothes on is:
1. tuck your chin
2. break the clinch and punch out, circle backwards, avoid getting blindsided
3. turn around and run if there are too many people
If you're a big guy just troll the instructor and ask how he would handle someone who rushed in, changed levels, drove through him with their hips, picked him up and dropped him on his head. Then offer to demonstrate.
They teach zero floor grappling or defense off your back, if you outweigh the guy by 20lbs he is completely fucked when on the ground, you can just trap his arms, pass his guard and headbutt and elbow him until he dies.
>>40558899
what would you suggest as a martial art for good self defense?
>>40558920
Running
My hair has thinned out heaps which a hairdresser I saw recently commented on.
"You're hair is very weird, it's very thick but very fine". I'm not receding at the hairline but it's thinned massively. When I shampoo hair often comes out and when I wake there's hairs on my pillow.
But, and this is what confuses me, it's accompanied by horrible itching (which a lot of guys seem to experience) and sometimes bumps and stuff. Also, at the same time this really kicked in, my eyebrows receded from the outside in heaps, eyebrows started falling out. I got my thyroid test (only TSH1 and TSH2) and they were apparently normal but I've started supplementing kelp.
Plus my forehead itches something wicked too when this is going on. Any /fit/izens have any idea what's going on?
>also general hair thread
its habbenig bro. its all downhill from here

Don't push your insecurities on me, thanks.

Bros I've made it to my goal body. Perfect bodyweight, perfect bf%, perfect muscle mass; perfect. How do I stay at this point? I know all my PRs and have my routine, do I just need to eat at maintenance while doing those? Still eating the same amount of protein (1g per lbs)? What if I miss a gym day and just eat at sedentary levels? Will I retain my gains forever now?
HELP
frozen carbonite
post pic ok
Do nothing but eat terribly and stay sedentary for a month. Then work your way back.
"Hey Anon, can you help me work out tomorrow?"
why not today fatty
>>40558511
D-did you get a sex change in the same place I'm about to get my oil changed?
work out what? how many tortillas you are gonna stuff in your ugly face?
Being brutally honest here I lift because getting fit does help some with social anxiety, I tend to avoid any interaction with strangers, I tend to avoid eye contact but now instead of looking down the ground I fixed my posture and simply look forward over everyone.
What about you?
>>40558505
>and simply look forward over everyone.
I will never know that feel
Same anon, same. I'm not socially awkward anymore and hold my shoulders high and have better posture. Plus I was 6'3" 125 lbs and hated being tiny.
>>40558505
I lift because it feels good, gives me goals and I like the pump. I got sick of muscle strains and injuries over the last couple years so I'm thinking of taking up rowing or something instead though
