Keto is the perfect diet and your body operates on another level. You don't have to call everything a meme because you don't have the fortitude to pull it off

Maybe if you laid off the porn, you wouldn't be so desensitized to sex.
>>
>>40288528
I had that for a while. I stopped masturbating twice a day and limited how much porn I watched. We also sat down and talked about our kinks and what we were into. Sex was much more fun afterwards.

>>40288528
Your setting odd expectations.
The women you love should always be better than jerking off or you have a problem somewhere.
Maybe addicted to porn?

Proper sized, tied blades should have no effect on your ankles. At first it might hurt your knees a bit if you have poor posture.

How does this compare to biking to work?

Don't use it and stop as soon as possible before you have to backtrack without it.
At first I thought about using one to avoid pain on spine and traps, but now I don't feel it anymore. I'm at 2pl8s for squats

>tfw today was my first day of SS
>tfw failed it miserably
I got 26kg on the benchpress however couldn't even squat the bar properly let alone when i tried 8kg and got that inching lower back stress pain. I tried bracin my core, i tried leaning a bit forward pointing nipples and looking at the ground(like ripp says) tried pushing it with my hips.
I couldn't deadlift 10kg properly either, stiff legs, chest up but still failed miserably(got to the end of the moviment with some back stress) and felt it wasn't right.
Yes i'm stretching my hamstrings / lower back daily even between sets.
This is the 3rd week i'm trying to learn how to squat/dl
Should i just quit these routines and leave it for the cool guys on /fit/? Stick to a brosplit and maybe hope for some gains over the years/juice? I don't know what the fuck should i do. I live in a small rural town in brazil and people here doesn't even know what a squat is let alone SS

I want to grow big and strong, i want to feel safe and most of all loved
Thanks /fit/ for making me face the endeavours of my life, now i shall become the man i want to be.

How legit is this device? I've had it a couple of days and I think I've got to grips with it. I'm not sure if it's functioning correctly though, since it seems to be too generous. For those that don't know, you put in some data - height, weight, etc - and it has a heartrate monitor and it calculates your calories out. You also put in all the things you eat that day and it tells you the 'budget'. So if you want to lose weight and eat a cake or whatever you have to work it off.
The interesting thing about that is that rather than tell you your maintenance amount without factoring in exercise, the device makes it a more flexible level accordingly. So for example, if you would need 1800 kcal sedentary and then exercised buring off 300 - well, you get the idea.
Anyway, what's confusing me is this. I haven't been to the gym today, I've just walked 7000 steps and gone up and down some stairs 25 times. And yet, despite having eaten a bunch (approx 2300 kcal) it's telling me I'm still below the sensible threshold for weight loss. I'm running a deficit of about 1000, though I don't feel as though I've eaten any less or done any more than usual. What am I missing?

Charge 2 here
Not sure if i like it, it's great for cardio and it...seems fine for weightlifting as far as i can tell
There are a couple of issues i have with it, the biggest one being that it has a habit of being unable to read my heart rate when sweat gets under the monitor
> mfw a fucking FITNESS device that has issues functioning when the body sweats
>>
>>40288133
Yeah, I've got the same one. One thing I'm unsure about - I take it you've been setting it to exercise mode, weights etc? Well, when it's in weights mode for example, it goes to a stop watch. Now, suppose you do three sets and have a break of up to a minute between sets. Do you let it run during those breaks, or stop it? I tend to just pause it when I have a longer break before moving onto a different exercise, but maybe that's wrong. I can't find any guidance on that. Obviously your heart rate will still be elevated, but you're not actually lifting at that moment so I'm unsure.
>>
>>40288202
I have no idea but I wanted you to know that I also can't find any info on this.
But other then that it's a pretty good device to help monitor my TDEE more accurately

Holy fuck /fit/.. I feel like I am fucking haunted.
I started hitting the gym pretty frequently nowadays and I enjoy going but its the outside of gym stuff that I am fucking up.
After the gym I come home and jerk off like 4-5 times with like 8 minutes in between. Then the next day I do the same thing. I feel like this may fuck my gains up because I leave the gym feeling good, come home, jerk off a bunch and then feel like shit.
I am fucking up my diet. I have no appetite after the gym usually and I come home and like fall to the floor because I just want to nap. Wake up and then I eat crap food because I hate cooking.
My sleep is fucked up too. I rarely get 8 hours of sleep. I usually get 6-7. I love and hate sleeping. I love it because laying in bed all cozy is amazing. I hate it because I would rather spend 8 hours doing something else.
Now I need help. Who are the real gains goblins? Who are the GAINS KILLERS!?

Not the guy but you can eat bretty good without having any culinar skills.
breakfasts: i usually throw 3-4 four eggs and a tuna can in a pan
Lunch:fucking chicken breasts or legs (legs are cheaper and have a bit more fat) add some rice and some veggies and you're set
Post workout:Shaker (no duh)
Diner:chicken or chopped beef ,pretty similar to lunch
I eat a shitload of greek yogurt too
Sup /fit/. Beginner here, and I won't bother you with too much since I've already read the sticky, but I do have a few questions.
1. I can't get deadlifts or squats to feel right. I've watched multiple videos and read some step by step guides, but no matter what I do they don't feel like I'm doing them correctly. My dad gave me his old equipment for my birthday, and he lives a couple of states away so he can't give me any tutoring. How can I learn proper form of workouts I'm not sure of without spending out the ass for a personal trainer?
2. I'm having a hard time cutting down on the amount of carbs I eat. Almost every meal I eat has bread in it. I love sandwiches. I eat a sandwich for breakfast, lunch, and usually some form of pasta/rice for dinner. I do eat whole grain bread with no added sugar, but it's still a ton of carbs eating it multiple times a day. Meat is pretty expensive, and I'm poorfag as fuck. I only have roughly $100 to spend on food each month. I really can't stand vegetables, I almost vomit from their smell alone.
3. I tend to keep the same weight on the bar for multiple exercises. As a beginner I'm fucking weak, I only have 70 pounds on the bar, but I plan to add some more soon. Most workout guides don't include suggested weights for the different exercises, so that may lead back to the problems in #1.
Pic related: it's me. 5'11 240 pounds.

Hey /fit/
I've been using this stuff over the past couple of days... Plan to use it for 2-3months. Anyone have any experience or knowledge with it?
It's about $150/bottle in Australia which is very expensive so i'm curious if its worth the money. Let me know ya'll thoughts.
Cheers

>Go to /fit/ for the first time

Ok, pretty sure this thread is not breaking the rules. I need spoonfeeding please
I am a 22 yo skeleton. Chest area is especially skinny, while the rest is better looking.
By body structure is ok for growing muscle(I've been told by friends who lift), but I was always too lazy and unmotivated, and by now I smoke two packs a day, eat unhealthy and drink a lot.
Seeing how I am so lazy it's almost like I'm on Heroin, what daily exercise can I do, that will be
>simple enough to commit to(i.e as simple as do X every morning before taking a shower)
>does not require equipment(i.e push ups sit ups kid of stuff, I also have the thingy for pull ups in my house so whatever can be done with it)
>will help me grow muscle
Not necessarily looking to end up like pic related within a couple of months, but getting closer to it and getting to shape, before actually buying equipment and starting lifting and stuff. I'm also interested in kicking my bad habits using physical exercise, so advice in this area will also be appreciated
Pls help

eat more food and lift heavy weights
>>
>>40287715
Except lifting heavy weight, there is no other way to grow muscle?
Like, when you do pull ups you lift yourself basically, so I would think that is considered weight lifting, no?
>>
Step 1 calculate your TDEE (Google it find a calculator)
Step 2 eat more than that (+250-500 is plenty)
Step 3 lift heavy things.
If you want strength do Starting Strength or Stronglifts
If you want aesthetics do a split routine (Push/Pull/Legs or Upper/Lower)
Cut your fat and sugar intake, take protein shakes twice a day (2-3 scoops + 400ml milk) - MyProtein is the best imo, personally Vanilla or Banana are my favourites
Any other questions dude?

If you get cholesterol from food, your body produces less on it's own. Sort of like when you take HGH. Cholesterol also isn't that bad for you, if at all.

If eggs are healthy, how come I have to limit the amount I can eat when that is not the case with vegetables?

>>40287588
>If you get cholesterol from food, your body produces less on it's own.
But the feedback inhibition mechanisms aren't perfect, which causes the liver's (primary disposal site of dietary cholesterol) pool to expand, decreasing extracellular uptake and thereby increasing blood levels from the uncompensated intestinal output

>Cholesterol also isn't that bad for you, if at all.
At physiological concentrations. Cholesterol is toxic in excess. For example, similar to asbestos and uric acid, it can form crystals that damage cells

Why do you lift?
I lift because I hate myself and I hate my body. The pain feels good and I feel deserving of living after experiencing such hardship. If I don't lift I start to hate myself even more and I feel incomplete, as if I don't belong on this world.

Confidence-being comfortable with who you are but always aspiring to be better person through hobbies, travel, and ascending the corporate ladder. Give little to no shit about the opinions of others, and not intimated by the opposite sex.
