Too bad you just know it's going to be a shit show of a story.

What's the story behind this image? Is it legit from Justice League set?
Be honest with me, /fit/.
How bad is it?
I need motivation.
>>40072459
Whoops. That should fix it.
clever to post with a thick layer of clothes so we can see your actual physique
mental gains first

I know, I don't have any other pictures. I'll see what I can do
I know there are alot of you that exclude cardio intentionally but I'm looking for research on strength training vs cardio for cardiovascular health.
Obviously any exercise is good for health and even for your heart but I'm wondering if cardio is significant enough to add due to a weak heart or normal strength training will suffice.
Do you guys include or exclude cardio, why?
don't be a pussy, do cardio
also is there a set for that image?
I was watching some scoobert, and in one of the videos he mentioned something called the "afterburner" effect. Wherein he says that if you do cardio everyday for at least 35 mins or so you will lose another 400-500 calories worth of energy during rest through a raised metabolism.
Does anyone have any papers or could confirm this? I thought only weightlifting had that sort of effect.
>>40072447
> significant enough to add due to a weak heart
the most effective way to fix a weak heart is to fall in love

What are your favorite tricep exercises? I've been doing skull crushers as a supplement to standard bench press, but I still don't feel like I'm getting a great workout.
This is my routine for that day
>squats
>ohp
>Bradford press
>bench
>incline DB flies (Gooby version)
>Skull crushers
Any suggestions? What do you guys do?

A normal standing tricep extension is the superior version of skullcrushers

Is there a reason doctors are shilling this vitamin crap? He obviously knew full well vitamins weren't going to do anything but he keeps shilling them.
He was hoping obecalp would help you. Worth a try, in his position.
>>40072341
Is this guy a real MD? Most MDs would not do that.
>>40072341
Not sure if youre in the US, but ever since the health care "reform", I hear a lot that doctors are basically cutting back on meds for everyone. Not sure why though. Either they were just giving them out to everyone before, or its a cost cutting measure.

There are so many fucking questions that /fit/ asks on a daily basis. That's why I'm making myself a /fit/ bible. These answers that will be posted by their questions will be answers that most anons agreed with, and are subject to change based on more information that is shared over time. That way, eventually everyone can just reference this fucking thing. The sticky is good for starters, but there are a lot of meme questions that need to be answered.
>>40072089
and as you see, I've made a typo already. I wanted to say that the stomach is a lot more complex/smart enough to not fall for the 30grams of protein only at a time meme, but you all can see what I was getting at in the description.
>>40072089
Don't waste your time anon, people have tried similar projects.
Retards gonna retard bro.
>>40072112
It's ridiculous how many of the same questions are asked on the same day, though. /fit/ is like fucking groundhog day.
Why does /fit/ still pretend to hate Jeff Seid after he's long been declared the king of /fit/?

It started for me in college, rockstar came to my uni and gave out two free cans per student. It was a game to us and we kept going back for more, stocking the dorm mini fridge. fast forward to my enlistment after dropping out, I was cramming ripits and pit bulls to stay awake on patrol, when got back home and out of mil it got even worse. Two/three cans a day for the last three years. This picture is what I've drank over the last two days.
I've tried stopping before, longest streak was 6 days, cracked when my daughter was born and had to stay up. I need to stop its the worst thing I could be doing to my body. Any advice besides I'm an undisciplined pussy? I'm ready to commit, not try. I guess really I'm just asking for help dealing with withdrawal not help quitting.
Drink a lot of water. Your body might crave caffeine and at first it's okay to instead have a cup of coffee or 2 per day. Keep weening yourself off. Get into brewing your own tea, it's got a bit of caffeine and there's a lot of flavors to explore, and herbal teas for micro-nutrient gains and benefits.
>>40071699
Thanks for the advice I definately want to get into that tea scene, my wife does that teavana youth berry jive and I think it tastes good. You have particular tea advice? And do you suggest caf pills with all that water at first?
>>40071851
don't steep the tea for much longer than 5 minutes or else it'll start to get bitter. Avoid making southern style sweet tea, it's just a bunch of sugar. I like loose tea rather than bagged since loose leaves are usually fresher.
I dunno man. See how your body responds to caffeine withdrawal. It might be a week or 2 of headaches and feeling tired but it's gone after that.
This is kind of long and dumb but I need to ask/vent, been aggravated about this all day
>be skelly and unaccustomed to exercise (want to get into the gym this year though)
>also shy and basically a mute with most people
>hurt my arm/shoulder (not seriously) and told to go to physical therapy by doc
>have to pay 45 bucks for one hour every fucking time, two/three times a week
>most of the phys. therapists don't seem to know what they're doing/don't care
>for example, one person hooks me up to these electrodes to stimulate my muscles but they always fall off and I end up getting left alone for like 15 minutes (and yes she knows they fall off)
>or they massage a place for 5 minutes, give me about 4 exercises to do and walk away without paying any attention to me so I have no idea if I'm doing the exercises correctly
>then tell me to leave
>overall annoying and doesn't feel remotely worth the money
I know I'm not a serious case but if I'm paying these people they can at least pay attention somewhat, right? Am I crazy for that?
Now to my other point:
>the only therapist that's good is a guy around my age
>Actually knows what's he talking about, actually pays attention, and tells me what I should/shouldn't be doing
>keeps me occupied the entire hour so I feel like I'm kind of getting my money's worth
>he's also just generally nice, I'm somehow able to hold a conversation with him which is a miracle because I usually lock up in conversation
>found out today he's leaving the rehab place in two weeks
I'm just really frustrated about the whole situation. Is there any way to ask for his contact info without seeming like a huge creep? I have no idea if I can just go
>Hey, can I have your contact info for future workout advice?
because I have zero idea on fitness/social etiquette. I also don't know if I'm just overreacting or not and should just bite the bullet and move on. Sorry for the rant.
Next time you see him, ask if you can schedule all future pt sessions with him personally. Casually bring up lifting when you're doing a session together and have a chat.
>>40071678
I forgot to mention this actually...
I DID request him, but the schedulers fucked up today and I got the fucking electrode lady again. I was mad as fuck. I talked to the schedulers and they said they'd make sure I'd get him next time but who knows really. The whole thing's fucked.
Having said that, asking about lifting seems like a good idea, yea.
Shameful bump
