How does it look like he has no chest somehow?
>>40354351
He probably doesn't bench.
So I wasnt sure which board to post this on, but since you can argue that general self-improvement is a part of fitness I decided to post it here.
Is polyphasic sleeping just a meme or is it something one should seriously consider if you wanna increase productivity?
Does anyone here have any experience regarding polyphasic sleeping?
what possible benefits/risks does it have?
Im not really considering the uberman-schedule, and I wont be considering it in the forseeable future. But the everyman-schedule might be something to consider.
I've never tried it, but having to take a 20 minute nap every 4 hours doesn't seem very convenient. Maybe every 6 wouldn't be bad. Idk. Maybe if you're a student who doesn't work it'd be okay
>>40353937
It doesn't mean six naps per four hours, that would be 12 hours of sleep every day. It means one nap every four hours for a total of six naps per day. In other words two hours of sleep a day, in other words a completely retarded idea. And in response to >>40353690
Other than a small number of people with some weird gene thing who can feel completely rested with 1-4 hours of sleep (you'd know by now if you were one of them), anything past biphasic is a meme, and biphasic isn't ideal because you will feel tired until you have the nap in the middle of the day, and then you'll have trouble sleeping that night due to the nap. If there was actually a magic cycle to only sleep 4 hours a day and function normally, don't you think everyone would do it?
>>40353690
Not a sleep scientist, but getting no full sleep cycles doesn't sound like a good idea desu
Also, if it wasn't a meme, I'd think the military would be using it to maximize the performance of soldiers
>taking days off
>not drinking gallon of milk
>not eating garlic everyday
sorry bro, you are not going to make it
A gallon of milk and garlic? Must smell horrid
He does gomad and eats garlic?
What videos? I really should watch more of them
I don't have chad genetics so I was never going to make it in the first place.
Rollo isn't a true Viking. So fudge 'im, edn.
I want to get into lifting for the sole purpose of becoming a stronger swimmer. Not competing it's just a hobby. What routines should be my focus? Purely strength ones right? Just how much will strength training complement swimming?
What are the most common causes of bingeing other than a lack of willpower?
>>40344650
Emotional eating. I'm an emotional eater and using food as a coping mechanism. Anxious? Eat. Depressed? Eat. Disgusted with myself because I am addicted to food and feel like I'll never change? Eat. Gain weight from all the extra food? Eat. Repeat ad nauseum.
You can say it's lack of willpower because it totally is. But there are more underlying causes than you know. A normal person doesn't just start eating 3-4k calories worth of food in a single sitting randomly one day.
>coming from a planet. 6'4", was 453lbs. Still 355lbs.
Everyday is a new day and every single meal becomes a battle of interests. Which do I want more? Food or results?
How to stop bad habits /fit/?
>bite my nails
>bite and tear at my fingertips and cuticles.
>absent mindedly bite at the inside of my bottom lip
>grind my tongue against my right side molars until it's raw and it hurts (I then just continue to do it)
>bite my cheek
I'm a fat fuck trying to change and none of these are attractive regardless of weight or physique. But every time I stop myself, I find myself automatically doing it again minutes later.
How good is a 275 pound bench in all honesty? IMO its okay, but nothing impressive. 315 on the other hand is pretty legit. What does /fit/ think a decent bench is?
225 is 90th percentile.
275 is prob 99th percentile
How much do you weigh?
How's the form?
Reps? Sets?
I think that says a lot more than wiggling it up once.
Diet soda
Yes or no
Yes
It helps curb desire for sugar/carbs without actually having calories
All this "Hur aspartame gives you cancer" is bullshit.
That's only in rats who have like 10000 litres of coke equivalent directly injected into them
>>40358474
Yes
>>40358474
Anything in moderation is fine. This includes diet soda, alcohol, hardcore drugs like heroin and meth, etc. The question is keeping your use moderate. Can you drink a diet soda once a day or less, or do you need to drink several in a day? Can you drink a glass of wine and then stop, or do you have to finish the bottle?
I think a more appropriate question is, "is diet soda a wise choice for ME?" Because at the end of the day, you know your limits better than a homosexual bodybuilding forum.
How much Weight has /fit/ lost? How long has it taken?

Wait a second. This isn't actually true, right? American """women""" aren't actually that fat, right??
>American rationalizations:

I wouldn't doubt it. Most women over here are disgusting, lazy, slobs

Should I do BJJ or boxing /fit/?
Goals: real world defense application, conditioning as a secondary, also how fun it is
And how do I find a legit gym for either? I'm in Phoenix Arizona if anyone has opinions on the area
UFC 208
You guys watching the fights? Damn, I feel like i should've hit up the bars in denver for this fight, great card.. maybe in march or april cards
bump
>>40347521
Do BJJ. If you don't have reach in a boxing match you're fucked. BJJ teaches you how to get inside the other guys area and win that way.

You're gonna need to do more cardio and endurance exercises than strength.
I feel you. I know your pain. But hear me out.
The solution to get over the insecure beta male problem is really simple. But you must have the will power. This will power can only come from you. No outside source could ever drive the will inside you. Now, let's begin. Follow these 5 simple steps, and you will overcome beta male issues.
>act like a dog
Literally just do shit. Dogs and other animals don't think. Don't hesitate. Just act on their biologically programmed DNA. There is no room for mind games and talking to yourself. It becomes a waste of time and ultimately prevents you from reaching your goals.
>squat and dead lift
Self-explanatory. Hopefully most of you do this already. If not, get on it, faggot.
>quit all social media and dating apps
They ruin your social skills. The more you speak to women through pixelated typography, the more autistic you become. Texting is OK for quick, important notices and/or statements.
>ignore women
"But how am I ever gonna get with one then?". Listen, beta balls, women want you more if you first reject them subconsciously. It becomes a game for them to get you to like them, even if you're the ugliest guy in the area. This obviously doesn't mean never talk to or look at a woman ever again. Act like you're married or get pussy on the reg. The key is to view women as pieces of meat. Don't let feminists and other left wingers try to put you down for being a man. All they are trying to do is get the upper hand on you. People are filthy.
>bend the rules
People borderline cheat all the time. Nobody is perfect. How does this relate to beta males? Well, the problem with most beta males is either they are depressed, autistic, or both. Probably both. Brain chemistry and the spinal cord are to blame for this. I am not a doctor but perhaps you should visit one. Many medications out there to help with mood, focus, motivation, reward system, etc.
Good luck!
>>40357120
Alright a point for trying to help autists, -5 for whatever bullshit you just wrote
This is actual good advice, but for a beta to put it to test is very difficult
>>40357120
>act like a dog
So if I see a girl I like should I just got hump her leg?
