Are the 4 Big Lifts a meme? Seems like their prominence is pretty much arbitrary. Asking because I love DLs and OHP but don't care much for Memesquats and Flat Bench. Will it actually affect my gainz if I substitute them for variations/alternatives I enjoy? I don't really give a fuck how much I lift as long as it goes up, and I also don't intend on comparing my lifts with you fags, if that helps.

Bench and squats are way more important than DL or OHP.
Nothing can replace squats unless you want to do an extra 2-3 accessories.
But sure, if you want to do that, go ahead. Who gives a fuck, just do what you enjoy doing.

I honestly can't stand back squats at this point. I actually kind on like the feeling but my autism has ruined them for me. Every time I get in the cage I think "this is reddit, this is memes". Squats are a fad at this point. They're literally Cosmopolitan-the exercise. Literal instagram tier millenialness. They're the /fit/ness equivalent of Starbucks. All those "squats make you awesome xDD" and "real manlybaconbeard men squat" memes are fucking killing me inside. I need to find a new lift. Looking into hack squats or rear foot elevated split atm. I just wanted normies to stay where they belong.

I bet you think thicc men are "manly"
You don't have to torture and kill animals to get good gains

Clarence is vegetarian, not vegan, and he hasn't always been vegetarian. Stop shitposting.
>>40536311
Why are you calling those men "boy"
>>40536320
lol you are wrong, he is vegan (for ethical reasons) just watch his latest Q&A videos
How do the likes of people like Calum Von Moger eat so much shit and still stay like 10% body fat max? I saw a video of him working out and drinking a tub of ice cream
obviously they have the help of steroids and other compounds but how does it work exactly?
I'm natty and training my ass off 6 or 7 times a week with 5 sessions of intense cardio (enough to get me sweating pints) and i reduced all my calories so i'm in deficit.
Never touch chocolate or ice cream or any of that shit.
I also cut my carbs down slowly in a taper so that i eat maybe 100g of carbs a day.
I am SLOWLY losing body fat. But i just don't know if i can get that low naturally?
how much protein can I get from eating my bros farts?

His genetics are top tier. He has frame, face and height.
If you're fat, and have been since childhood, what's the point to trying to lower your bodyfat percent?
Your adipocyte count will remain the same throughout your life from adulthood onwards (Spalding et al, "Dynamics of fat cell turnover in humans", Nature, 2008), so you can only shrink your fat cells, they'll always be there, which means the leptin resistance from increased numbers of fat cells will always be present (Myers et al, "Obesity and Leptin Resistance: Distinguishing Cause from Effect", Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2010) so your appetite regulation will never be normal.
So basically you have a choice between feeling like shit eternally because every fibre of your being will be screaming at you to get the fat back you took away from your body, or looking like shit but feeling not awful. Why bother trying? Nobody has the willpower to keep it up forever and not lead a miserable life.

>TL;DR Many excuses of a fat lazy undisciplined fuck
Keep making excuses fuccboi.
I used to be fat and I've been maintaining abs for years since getting fit.
Its only hard for the first few months.

False.
who here is doing it?
considering trying it myself...
everyone here is doing it
it works too good
make sure you have black coffee to kill hunger and whole foods to keep you feeling full
>>40534291
I just started it today... first time. Trying the 16/8.
I was considering it but Id have to just have a huge dinner, and wont it hurt gains to eat so much protein at once? I read somewhere your body can only make use of like 50g in an hour, though it might be broscience
I know time of meals doesn't impact calories in or out but I dont know if it impacts how protein is used
who here /liftingtorepresswantingtocommitsuicide/?
>>40534041
you're not alone anon, it's been rough these last few months
>>40534041
Good VR is like a decade away, anyone thinking of killing themselves is a retard
>>40534041
How do you even get to that point where you think suicide is the only option? If you're at that state where you consider killing yourself why wouldn't you go to the doctor to get SSRI's or something to at least help you out with the brain chemistry that most likely is out of wack or is their something more I'm missing?
How do you stay disciplined with improving yourself?
All I want to do everyday is play games and watch twitch and youtube. I know I'm a lazy fuck, but it's hard pulling myself away from the computer.
Any tips/tricks/advice?

I'm 29 yrs old bro, much older than most of the board.
I've seen way too many of my friends from high school or college never get out of that trend.
You have to save your own life.
plenty of league pros workout and are fit. it's a plus that you'll be less likely to damage your wrists.
also stop watching you tubers/streamers, the only good one that will teach you anything is dekar, and if you don't main top/jg you won't make it.
>>40533872
Trihex is also really good if you want an actual dose of how people can play games all day, workout and interact with society.
How's life been treating you recently /fit/?
>>40533403
Pretty fucking good honestly.
No complaints.
I'm making gains. I'm making money. Shit's good my man.
Not bad, in fact my ass is heading off to Europe tomorrow. ==>backpacking for two months.
all over the place.
last week monday I squatted 500 for an @9 triple, then on saturday 500x1 was @10 and felt like hot garbage
bench has been overwhelmingly meh
deadlifts have been solid though, hit a juicy PR and broke the 600lb barrier today so that's cool

If diet is linked to education and health, why doesn't the government further limit what can and cannot be purchased with food stamps/government assistance?
Bread and circus. If poor stupid can't eat cheetos they have nothing to live for and will start causing greater unnecessary issues.
>>40533209
>muh freedoms
I believe a lot of big corporations (couldn't say which off the top of my head) lobbied to have their junk foods be food stamp eligible. Back when food stamps were a state level thing, the rules were stricter, and only a few states let poor fags get soda and chips on food stamps. When it became a federal thing, the federal guidelines were set inline with the least restrictive states.
>why doesn't the government
Impotence.

Fuck /fit/, former shell of itself.
I fucked up /fit/, I was resting between sets on my phone, I usually listen to Civ Music + Classical music.
>I was ready to continue with my deadlifts but my phone slipped out of my hands and so did the headphone jack...
>I tried catching it but my hand pressed play and loud as fuck classical music started playing. I had to finish my exercises without music...
>Walked out of the gym and one of the fucc bois said "nice music mozart" and people started laughing
How do I tell them that it was Schubert playing and not Mozart?
>>40532845
By accidently dropping a plate on their head
I like classical music as well OP, fuck the plebs.
>>40532845
at least it's not this "music" people listen to today. Rap/hiphop is not music people. it's literal shit. prove me wrong
Anyone got all the links that show the deficiencies in vegans?
>>40532362
You know that copypasta is full of false information right? Some of it's accurate, but a lot of it's not.
>>40532228
The biggest one is chromosome deficiency

i'm sure you've got a list of excuses why she's stronger than you.
When did you realize it was just a waste of time. money and health?
http://nextshark.com/why-you-sometimes-feel-so-tired-after-drinking-coffee/
Scobby was right all along. Gave up coofe/energy drinks before Xmas- I am no longer super tired, mornings, school, workouts, evenings. Never.
scooby is right about most things i wish he made videos more often. he's like a true youtube father figure gives genuine advice

But what if I love the taste of coffee?
I drink coffee because I like the taste. There are more factors into your life than a single drug like caffeine that are causing your issues.
