Started using this shit one week ago. Haven't changed my routine but I've gained five pounds of what I think is fat. WTF? I do weights 2x a week, cardio 3. Anyone else use whey protein and gain weight?
>>40324254
You might be unintentionally consuming an unbalanced amount of protein. Protein is absorbed best if you follow a 3:1 ratio with carbohydrates meaning you ingest 3 grams of carbohydrates for every gram of protein. If one scoop is 30g of protein it is best to have at least 90g carbs with that or have less of a scoop and less carbs while spreading protein and carb consumption throughout the day.

Read that this shit secretly contains creatine. Won't be buying it again and flushing the rest down the shitter. I lost more weight using pure protein bars which I'll be going back to. Cocksuckers.

How many of these do you eat a day?
Cottage cheese
Yes or no
Yes.
Pineapple, cinnamon, cottage cheese with salt is fantastic. One of the few tasty things I can fit into a cut.
>>40324169
Yes.
I eat mine with pickled beets.
>>40324169
How do you guys buy fruit?
I love it but living alone I either buy it fresh and it gets rotten because I don't finish it on time (if you buy enough to get a good deal) or I buy it frozen and it's just a hassle microwaving it all the time and shit. Guess I'm just lazy

No lift comes close to working as many important groups at the same time.

Imagine compound lifts as percentages. For each muscle worked, work load is decreased. The more muscles you work, the less effective the excersise, and an ineffective excersise is a shitty one.
What's wrong with my knees? How to fix?

Any anons done this? I've heard that as long as you're decently athletic and have some physical gifts (size, speed, hands, etc) they'll let you on the practice squad. Is that true?
D1 football, in the US?
Fuck no. I inferred from your post that you've never been on a football team, D1 is serious business. Just join a club.
>>40323435
Yeah, most teams will let you join as long as you want to play one of the positions that doesn't require any skill or athleticism, like a lineman.
>>40323435
One of my friends did this, basically you have to just dedicate your entire life to it for about a year, maybe less if you were good at football in highschool. That means, having an easy major, not having a social life, working out really hard every day in the right facilities, eating the right foods, doing the right exercises. Being extremely rich also helps because then you don't have to worry about a job and you can eat really well. All that, and then you're a 4th string punching bag, you'll never play, and you have to continue to be just as dedicated, usually even more dedicated because you now have team responsibilities like film watching and actual football practice. My friend that did it is a business major that is going to inherit his dad's million dollar real estate business, so he didn't have to worry about anything but football.
But if you didn't play football in highschool, then there's no way you're gonna make it, cause it's too late to learn. You can be Hafthor Bjornsson, but you'll get stood the fuck up and knocked on your ass by a 200lb white kid if you don't know proper form.
Confess your fitness sins.
I haven't squatted in over 3 months and at this point I'm afraid to see how much it fell.
I lie to myself that I will start a cut anytime now.
The last time I got a full uninterrupted 8 hours of 22.00 - 6.00 sleep was a month ago.

tell me why eating an apple any different than eating candy /fit/
>high in sugar and carbs
>candy tastes way better
>candy is way cheaper
>>40323264
Candy has fiber nutrients it helps strengthen your teeth and heals you and it doesn't have all of the extra chemicals that candy has.

It's been over two years without any of these, will these feelings ever go away?
You haven't learned to truly let go yet as you still have reservations. Go back to your shitty addictions, addict.
I needed this thread. Thanks
>>40323245
I am more than my feelings and cravings, and most importantly I have it in me to deny them.
But that doesnt mean they go away.
My partner watches a lot of porn. They save all sorts of pictures and have their own USB filled with different kinds of adult things. I try to understand but I just don't see the appeal.
As a man why do you look at porn? To keep it /fit/ related, are there any health benefits or anything like that?
bump again cause I really dont get it. Just any opinion
now he is mad I posted this. Sooooo

Man I can't tell you how many hundreds of hours I've spent on here instead of doing homework or learning to code like I keep saying I should be working on since I graduate in april. At the end of the day browsing the ch0n is just more fun.
