Reminder that pic related is literally the perfect goal body if you lift for girls (the only sensible reason for lifting)

Reminder that personality > fitness and if you're lifting for girls you should be spending that time fixing your personality instead.
>Lifting for girls
Just be yourself

hahahahahahahahahahaha
I'm depressed after being on a ketogenic diet. I lost like 10 pounds but I had to stop working out after intensively lifting for 3 weeks straight.
>>40313469
Stop being a pussy about it, I've run strict keto diets 4-5 months going into summer for 5 years. its not that bad and literally the best way to cut weight and maintain muscle at the same time.
>>40313957
It got to a point where I just stayed where I was weight was.
Maybe other shit in my life was getting to me but something had to give. I sacrificed a lot to push it to 3 weeks.
>>40313469
I feel down everytime im on a catabolic diet. It's shitty but don't be a puss about it
/fit/ how do i tell if i have a herniated disk? my lower spine area has been hurting, also what exercise(s) can i do to heal one if i do? and how can i prevent one if i do not already have one. would lumbar lordosis be a worrying pre existing condition for a herniated disk??
inb4
>just dont deadlift :^)
yeah but that's a good exercise, i'd like to keep it
I actually have a herniated disk (L4-L5 lower back, had an MRI) doctor mentioned no lifting but I said fuck that, i'm just doing really basic workouts and light weight so make sure I don't hurt myself further
Getting surgery to fix it in may
lower back was hurting like a bitch for a long time, thought I had snapped my shit up but I always had good form. Turns out I had extremely tight hip flexor, started stretching the fuck out of them every day and pain is completely gone. Try that. Tight hip flexors is common for people who sit a lot.

Thanks so far will try the hip flexors
>I'm now up to 10 push ups before failure
I'm making it brahs
>there are adults who cannot do at least 30 pushups in a row
??????????????????

What about people with one arm, anon? Didn't think about that, did you? Hmm?
>>40313653
>implying this changes anything
>qt co-worker who has watched my progress for over a year now
>always comments on how big I've gotten
>today during our lunch break she asked me if I could open up a jar for her
>in front of other qt co-workers
>can't open it

what are you favorite fitness inspiration films?
>>40313082
Alive
>>40313082
Fight Club
It goes somewhat against the message, but it was the first movie that got me to think about the importance of masculinity in a man
Lifting is about the only masculine thing about me
>>40313108
May I ask how it helped you to see the importance of masculinity in men? I never saw the film so the question might sound dumb, I know it's about fighting though...
why are people so against being skinny
>abs show
>you have a unique aesthetic
>you don't have as much weight to move around so you are more agile and when you run it doesn't impact your joints as much
>less pressure on your internal organs
>can fit into small spaces easier
>more strength for size
>quicker
>cardio improves
bulking up to 200 + pounds doesn't make you more of a man neither
>>40313006
Because you still look like a tiny skinny cunt with clothes on
Skinny men have never been desired in history up until sub-cultures like goth,emo, and skinnyjeans fags appeared.
Being a skinny guy is just as bad as being a obese guy.
Better off being somewhere in between.
Society general likes built-fat men the most.

>Skinny men have never been desired in history up until sub-cultures like goth,emo, and skinnyjeans fags appeared.
wrong, people back in history were probably skinny, look at tribal societies where people can't just drive to the grocery store to buy food
>how i feel when i walk into the weight room
>>40312945
>that guy who walks like a virgin
>>40312982
Y-you can tell?
>>40312945
I feel the same when I walk into a church
Did your life change after you lost the unwanted weight?
>>40312701
i was never fat
>>40312701
I got thinner.
>>40312701
>tfw I look like a slightly fatter version of the before
How long between pics?
Basically I feel cucked by /fit/, I am back in college and basically all girls are showing interest in me as a 5'3.5 guy with a good face and fit body. I didn't immediately show interest back because you fuygs said most people care about face->height->body, but wtf is happening. I always had a 8/10 face and good sense of style, but most girls would ignore me my first time in college when I was fat unless I displayed non-physical traits of masculinity. Now I am walking around like a cuck and girls are eyeing me up, wth is happening? Is basically all of /fit/ cancer?
How much does height matter, because the most common saying is that it matters to most but not to some, but why are nearly all girls showing interest?
delusional manlet thinks the girls laughing at him are secretly flirting: the thread
If your face is good you'll get pussy period. Fat or not, but better chance if not fat.

>How much does height matter, because the most common saying is that it matters to most but not to some, but why are nearly all girls showing interest?
It doesn't matter at all unless you're completely void of positive personality qualities.
So, it matters desperately to /fit/. You obviously aren't socially retarded or obese so it won't affect you.
is curling 35 lb dumbbells 11 times dyel?
yes but you knew that already
Context is key.
I'm stuck on curling 30lbs x 8. Any advice?
How can I stop getting sad over my height and female sized hands?
I'm 5'7, and my hands are only about 15% bigger than my mums hands (shes 5'2), my dad is 6'0 and his hands are like literally 50% bigger than mine in length and thickness.
>>40312576
If that's your hand, the first step is to cut your fucking nails.
>>40312588
Do you have autism?
(Just asking before I brutally assault you with harsh comments)
>>40312576
Just start taking female hormones because you're destined to become a trap.
Serious question /fit/ How do I lose the weight? I've been stuck between the same 3 pounds for the last 5 years with the same goal just 20 lbs away. Is this fucking maintenance because I'm SO CLOSE I can never cross that one threshold. Is it mental? I CICO but at most I lose 10lbs and then I yoyo back up, SO CLOSE.
>>40312476
Do you have a lot of muscle? Do you workout regularly? Do cardio regularly?
Do you make sure you dont eat over your maintenance calories?
we can help ya more with a few of these answered friend, no worries.
Sadly I don't have a lot of muscle. I'm a girl.
I work out enough for a deficit, same with tracking calories. I can usually go for 500 cal deficit but somehow I keep messing up after a while... I want to know how to prevent that. I think I'm lacking in the will power category.
>>40312653
bullshit
Never track your cardio its a fucking meme and you over estimate your work
Eat 500 less than your CONSERVATIVE TDEE
I've had this mole/mark whatever on my shoulder for years but recently I feel like it's gotten bigger. Should I be worried?
RIP
>>40312358
Why is it upside down tho
yeah you're dying
stage 4 cancer breh
so /fit/, how you doing on your resolutions?
same as last years
gave up on it
Down 12 pounds in 8 weeks.
Im not even into the whole "new year new me" bullshit, just started getting serious about my meal prep to save money. Cutting body fat has been a plus
>>40312160
Haven't been in the gym once this year
:( please kill me
