Don't worry. You want another cheese-burger, yes?

>>40176821
I'm sure there's a coherent message behind all this garbage level english but it's lost on me
ITT: the downsides of making it
Common feels
>you have trouble fitting into clothes
>going out to eat with friends/family events and holidays turn from a carefree get together into a test of your diet discipline, aka, it's harder to let loose and have fun when you have a strict diet
Uncommon feels
>fat girls start to act nasty and hostile towards you
>girls will start spilling spaghetti around you, which would be flattering except when they're fat/you don't find them attractive and have to work with them everyday and maintain a professional relationship
Rare feels
>you were a beta who had a gf before you started lifting and now you are filled with testosterone/confidence and are constantly surrounded by hot bitches who are miring you and all you want to do is smash sloots to make up for lost time but your gf is total wife material and you know you'd fuck it up so you play it cool until you go to your 9-5 job mon-fri and keep seeing that hot girl with a super nice ass who keeps flirting with you and there's so much sexual tension that it's tearing you apart until you get home and let out a monster fap to the bitch at work while your gf innocently sleeps in the next room and you're consumed by guilt until you go on 4chan and forget about it by posting a TLDR rant on /fit/
>>40176770
Why the fuck would you feel guilty about fapping on the thought of someone other than your girlfriend?
>>40176803
Because I could be fucking her instead but would rather fuck my hand thinking about a girl who I'm trying hard not to cheat on my gf with.
>>40176770
>you were a beta who had a gf before you started lifting and now you are filled with testosterone/confidence and are constantly surrounded by hot bitches who are miring you and all you want to do is smash sloots to make up for lost time but your gf is total wife material and you know you'd fuck it up so you play it cool until you go to your 9-5 job mon-fri and keep seeing that hot girl with a super nice ass who keeps flirting with you and there's so much sexual tension that it's tearing you apart until you get home and let out a monster fap to the bitch at work while your gf innocently sleeps in the next room and you're consumed by guilt until you go on 4chan and forget about it by posting a TLDR rant on /fit/
this isn't a making it feel. It's normal as fuck even for people who don't lift. My advice from experience: don't take your girl for granted just because you have the opportunity to smash elsewhere. Your girlfriend must be plenty hot herself right? Besides, you have something better than just a sex partner. You and your gf share a special bond, and have gone through life experiences that you can't simply replicate with anyone else. If that isn't important to you, then just dump her and start smashing the bitch from work.
Are personal trainers in gyms actually good for getting healthier and stronger? I can only count on one hand the amount of times I have seen one coach a newbie on one of the core staple barbell lifts.
>>40176766
People want to do the shit they see in fitness magazines and pro athlete training centers. Personal trainers are mostly just there to fill that market.
the personal trainer at your average gym is going to be hustling you and selling you snake-oil products, like they've been trained to do
a good coach from an olympic weightlifting gym or a strength coach that works with college level athletes can definitely be worth it though
>>40176766
I've never seen a PT ever do any core barbell work with anyone, ever, in almost 2 years.
>low-med reps
>80-90% 1RM
next week
>60-70% 1RM
>everything, every set to failure
thoughts? Alternating to keep aesthetics and strength up?
You can't fucking train for aesthetics. You either have it or you don't.
The best you can do is diet down to low levels of body-fat, and even then, there's no guarantee you'll look aesthetic.
I'm so sick of people thinking if they just do X or Y that it will magically make their body turn into aesthetics models.
>>40176975
post one low bodyfat guy who is large (even just 3 year trained natties) that doesnt look nice, even by normie standards
all bodies look nice with decent enough size and low bodyfat
>>40176632
If you destroy the muscle and let it heal it will grow. Just do 80% to failure every set then drop set at the end for max gains.
Im so proud of myself fit.
Im in university so Im a heavy partier, drug abuser, smoker.
Nov. 2016 i decided Im gonna get fit.
Started going 4 days a week but still stayed with my degenerate lifestyle.
Just had a minor surgery in late december and now im fully recovered.
During that recovery time I decided no more cigarettes, no more drinking and no more drug abuse.
I feel fantastic. I wake up early in the morning energized. Everything, everything is going so so well.
Oh and this was the first week back to school and I already got laid twice! One by this girl who ive had a crush on for 3 years and shes into me!!!
Thank you /Fit/ for everything. You guys are my rock, my foundation and I would be a piece of crap if it wasnt for you all.
>>40176564
Nice blog faggot. Jump off a bridge.
Great job OP. Please know that if you want to be succesful in life, you have to finish school and be clean. You can have fun ofcourse but I recommend staying away from drugs or alcohol if you are someone who is sensitive to addictions.
I never drink alcohol, smoke or go to parties (except a concert with friends or something) but I did however smoke a lot of weed. My boyfriend smoked a lot because he worked in a coffeeshop (Netherlands) and both of us would spend our days smoking weed. He had no libido, his only subject material was weed and legislation or smell of weed, was not motivated to do anything (with me) and had no friends or hobbies. He lived a boring life and had no degree. I also lived a pretty boring life, I would smoke weed after school (and go to the gym) but i flunked my school and had no degree at age 25. I decided to get away from the situation, I quit smoking weed cold turkey, worked full time to have money to go to school again and I left my boyfriend. I go to school again and I get good grades, I made a bunch of new friends and have a new boyfriend who lives healthy and is fit, goes to school, has passion and fire for the things he loves. This is why I advice everybody who is currently in a toxic, drugs, hostile or negative environment to leave the environment, you will notice you will grow again as a person, you will achieve things you couldn't do before.
so this is designated tl;dr thread
Can you look good by normie standards by just doing pull ups (weighted) and no other lifting?
Normie standard is the weirdest thing ever
On one hand girls think guys like Jeff Seid are natty and "prolly just doing pushups" and have no fucking clue about anything but still expect that this is how you should look
On the other hand guys are very appreciative of your gains and give comments about it so to them it might look better
Dont hope to impress girls, its a fools errand
>>40176482
You'll look better than if you didn't do anything. But if you're going to go through the trouble of doing weighted pull-ups then why not add one or two exercises to look even better?
>>40176593
What would you add to this minimalist routine?

While he gives a general list, I was looking for thoughtful recommendations on additional exercises.
>>40176519
He literally gives a recommended list for each type of lifting (power/oly/body)
Who here at /fit/ actually rows?
Competitively/for fitness/ergs/on water.
Best 2k?
Club?
I used to row in high school it was tough shit and I got a 6:52 on my last 2k which was pretty mediocre
used to row in high school, now just use the erg for warm-up at the gym. Even though I'm in better shape, I still feel less mentally tough on the erg than I did back then.
Fuck this sport man, can't hide from a bad 2k time
>>40176283
rowed in high school and uni until i fucked my hip and back up
best 2k i got was 6:39
i get anxiety when i hear the whirring of an erg now
how do i start to cook for myself
im actually good at cooking and the various cooking techniques but my pitfall is that i dont know how to consistently meal plan day in day out
ill go to the supermarket and have no idea what i want to cook for that day and just get overwhelmed and starve
what do you eat for lunch and dinner /ck/
>>40176248
Try a meal prep day. Make a week's worth of food in a few hours on the weekend. Portion it out and freeze or put it in the fridge.
I did it once and it was a really easy way to track my calories as well as make sure I'm not getting fast food on impulse. Might start it again soon.
>>40176248
use Scooby's meal planner and shop according to that. It's the easiest thing you can fucking do.
>>40176248
if you're cooking for yourself, I've found you really only need to make about 3 dinners per week, and just have your lunch and breakfast stuff planned out. Cereal, oatmeal, eggs, bacon, bread, lunch meat, stuff like that.
What is the information that will allow me to know how to maximize the length between the middle of my right delt to the middle of my left delt?
>>40176243
Genetics

What permutation of CGAT and where?
that guy is probably much taller than you and he is probably so the silhouette looks much more photogenic and esthetic
and he probably has trainer coach and eats a shit ton of quality food

Is the 5x5 workout in the sticky a meme?
Going to the gym tonight to lift for the first time.
Any general advice or advice for a gym noob?
Bring a towel
You will never look good without steroids. Everyone with a six pack does sterons but lies about it. If you want to make it check the /fraud/ thread and leave humanity behind.
>>40175911
don't listen to steroid memer
yeah it's fine, just lift
that's what matters at first, noob gains will happen no matter what you do
