I started in late December last year to lose weight and for the past two months I have been stuck at 115kg, what am I doing wrong?
I'm 6ft, male and eat between 1200 - 1500 calories per day but I just can't seem to shift the weight anymore, I obviously can't cut anymore and I already go to the gym 4 times a week what gives?
>>42727202
You probably plateaued try to recalculate how much you need to eat at your current weight
>>42727209
According to fitness frog with no exercise I burn on average 2871 while with my normal exercise I'm at 3709.
If you weigh 250 pounds then you must not have any muscle mass
My gym membership comes with free pool access on sundays, i intend to swim every sunday as cardio, slowly building up to swimming 1.5km
http://ruthkazez.com/SwimWorkouts/ZeroTo1mile.html
I also plan to buy a bicycle, and build that up as well, or would i be better off just using the bike cardio machines in the gym? what's a good program for like, couch to 30k on a bike?
>>42727189
i jump rope for a warm up but i find it so fun and zen inducing i end up jumping rope for like an hour
>>42727189
>what's a good program for like, couch to 30k on a bike?

Lift more weight every time
fuck do you think you need a "program" for this anon
How come no matter how much I stretch my hamstrings, they always seem tight, and I am not gaining any flexibility?
I can grab my foot but that's about it.
>>42727057
every other muscle in your legs, hips, ass is tight?
anterior pelvic tilt?
>>42727057
You're probably rounding the shit out of your back to reach your foot.
Do romanian deadlifts.
how long before I can do the split?
>tfw only thing i look forward to is the gym
>>42727040
Same

Whatever happened to Supermang?
>>42727656

>>42727023
Lifting gloves and basketball shorts

>wears clothes to gym
Would it be ok to swap squats and OHP on the madcow 5x5 routine? I've been lifting for 8 months, I have been stuck at 120 lbs OHP for so long, and I want that god damned 1pl8 so badly. I am eating enough, I'm sleeping enough, all my other lifts are progressing fine, I've been using microplates and everything.
form check
do more OHP
try for your one rep max more
do more volume
do accessories that target the muscles used in OHP
stop being a little fag
>lifting for 5 weeks
>140 lbs ohp 5x5
Why do people find this hard?
>>42726881
Form is fine.
That's what I'm asking if swapping squats and overhead press in the madcow routine to do it more often is safe to do and won't cause me injury.
Noted.
Why? I thought 3-5 was the range for strength gains, anything above is hypertrophy territory?
I thought the only way to get better at something was to do that exercise, like you don't do assisted chin-ups to get better at chin-ups?
Fuck you, I'm putting every god damned ounce of strength I have into this.
>>42726891
Good for you nigger, put out useful advice or fuck off.

Nah, but there's a limited amount of subjects you can talk about fitness, also youtube: keeping it simple for the average user is a necessity.
How big of a difference do lifting shoes make in the squat? I seem to be OK on depth but just wondering if maybe it allows me to get in a better position as far as butt wink etc. I also have a slipped disc so wondering if these will be better long term with back issues etc.
If so, what are some cheap but good shoes (sales etc). Not really looking to drop $150 on these bitches.
>>42726682
no difference at all.
No real difference. Get a pair of chucks or cheap flat shoes and you're good.
Recently got a pair of romaleos after logging in flats for years. Felt an immediate huge benefit and hit a pr. They might not be useful for everyone but for taller guys like myself they can be hugely useful.
When did you realize that powerlifting and maintaining a low body fat is superior in every way for a natty lifter than being a weak faggot that trains for "aesthetics?"
>>42726594
When are all you habitual gymcels going to realize that training for and being involved in a team endurance sport like bicycle road racing is the real pinnacle of human athletic performance and once you have that level of endurance it opens the door to doing anything else athletic you could possibly imagine?
>>42726624
2/10 got me to reply
Powerlifting sounds great if you want herniated discs by the age of 40. Take a good long think about how lifting heavy weights will be worth it down the line.
You can still be big and strong with low bodyfat. The ultimate red pill is higher volume and intensity
It's been 10 minutes and my crush hasn't snapped me back. What's the point in lifting if she won't talk to me at all
I honestly wish all social media sites didn't exist. Especially Snapchat
Has she opened it?
>>42726543
Find a new crush, fuck that bitch.
If she makes it back to you, good for her. If not, then don't lose sleep over her.

she probably got raped and now her only escape is munchkins
This one kills me. She was so cute.
Im average hight and just walk an hour every other day.
If i ate whatever but it was around 1700 calories a day, i can just be an average weight right?
Ive done fasting for ages to control my eating habits so i dont have seconds or thirds or big giant lunches anymore.

I've had hypothyroidism since I was 11, just make sure you're eating at a deficit your thyroid shouldn't be a factor if you're properly medicated for it.
What I find interesting about fitness is this obsession about programming, with a focus exercise selection and volume expressed only in sets + rep ranges.
Seeing as these are concerns only for beginner trainees, do most people never make it past novice?
Especially on this forum, there are threads about Starting Strength, or 5x5 programs, or the Squat or the Diddly. There is no talk about time under tension, volume training, effort estimation, pyramid training, rest pause training, drop sets etc.
All these, things vastly more important than whether you choose to squat or leg press once you know both exercises and you're in a position to choose which works better for yourself.
>>42725881
Yeah I suppose that's fair, I think a lot of people either dont end up exposed to knowing those things exist, or think that the little details matter more than the methodology because they havent accumulated the experience or perspective to know otherwise
By the time a person makes it to such a level they are involved in much more specialized communities and realize that these approaches to training are extremely specific to each individual because people have different goals AND different responses to training due to genetics + environment.
At most, you may have have a useful discussion about the different manipulatable variables, but this is rare on general forums.
It doesn't becomes necessary (or even discovered) until a person is well past intermediate or even advanced in their lifts.
In my training notebook I record my angle, time under tension, rest time between reps, rest time between sets, and even make notes of how good my form was and how the movement felt for particular exercises.
Over time I weed out the variables that aren't as significant or internalize and make intuitive my understanding of these metrics, how they will affect me, and how I will modify them.
It's out there, but it's for each to discover on their own. You are talking about things that must be dealt with in generalizations of generalizations.
