I want to get /fit/, but I can't afford a decent weight set and there aren't any gyms near me. I've been looking at resistance bands and they seem promising so far. The load profile is obviously different, but I think I could make up for that in other ways -- and resistance is resistance so I can't see any reason why they wouldn't work.

So are these just a meme or what? Any recommendations on a good setup?
There are good for stretching and mobility,
And can be useful with certain bodyweight excercises.
But weights beat them every time when it comes to getting /fit/
>>40049940
this plus amazing for rehab
better off getting a pull up bar or just making the drive to a gym
Scooby likes the fat rubber bands and you can buy a pack at dicks sporting goods for like 20$.
and it's only 20$ so fuck it go for it dude and tell us how it went
i've already got a pretty sharp jawline but there's a bit of flub on it
how do I target it?
>>40049803
chin ups
>>40049803
lose weight, really.
Just get to 8% and you're on, but if you still don't have a nice jawline after this bodyfat perfecentage then you should consider surgery or some braces if you're underage.

What does /fit/ sip on between sets?
>>40049780
la croix sparkling water
I don't sip on anything. Although I'm thinking I should start to.
Guess
Today marks the my first year of lifting. I am really satisfied with my progress in all areas except for my deadlift.
My deadlift is garbage.
I have posted form videos and got told my form is perfect. I have watched endless instructions on jewtube including from the GOAT deadlifter brian shaw.
When i lift babyweight (anything 1xbw or under) it feels literally weightless when i sit back into the weight... but I still struggle to diddly more than jack shit
Stats:
Bw-185lb
Bench - 225x7
Weighted chin - +50lbx5
Press - 140x5
Row - 190x5
Hip thrust - 385x20 (I ran out of weights and refuse to buy more plates until I can diddly 3pl8)
Deadlift- 285x3
Pls send halp
Can upload form video.
>>40049724
Shaw isn't a guy whose deadlift I'd emulate.
This sort of stuff requires a video to give any strong advice. How much do you squat?
>>40049724
literally try harder
im serious. no way is your deadlift stalling at sub 3pl8 unless your form is fucked, or you don't eat and sleep...
>>40049733
Y-you dont need to squat to deadlift heavy, surely?
I have no squat rack, i do cleans and such from time to time but I don't like when my legs chafe together on a pump - reminds me of when i was fatty.. will take and upload video shortly
"Oh wow anon you go to gym and lift weights, tell me do you have hobbies or are you just meathead?"

>Squat, Bench, Chinups in the same day

I would add hammer curls or wrist curls and extensions + grip training eitherway.

nice hair boi
What are some /fit/ approved underwear?
Looking for some good boxer briefs that are better quality than the hanes ones I currently use
They feel and work fine on a functional level but I want something that looks better
These dont have any proper elastic on the bottom part so they get loose after wearing for a couple hours and dont show leg gains as well
>>40048709
Levi's boxer briefs are godly they also feel very soft, pricey but worth it
Just wear trunks. Shows off leg gains almost as good as being naked
>>40048750
trunks are too much
When normies mire those gains
nice gyno faggot
>>40048586
You mad?
>>40048576
Damn normie needs muh dick.
I'll be using Tinder soon, gotta have a good shirtless pic
Go to the beach, have someone take a professional pic.
No selfies because you will be left swipped.
Point is, make it look like the circumstance is what made you shirtless, not just you taking it off to show off your gains.
>>40048528
eh, your cover letter is way more important
>>40048603
Come over and pet my rescue puppy, while I cook dinner, and uncork some wine.
Why does he wear the mask, /fit/?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8R5z8EQmSs
Because the stack he's on ruined his hair and covered his face in acne
>That's a big curl.
>4 plates.

Hey nigrs
I can kinda see my abs in good lighting when i flex em. Do i just have to lose bf% to see them more clearly?
you need a tan. look up "depth of field" and suddenly understand why a moderately fit black dude can look 100x more ripped than a very fit white dude without even trying
>>40048140
do crunches and planks help? sry i wanna keep my aryan skin white
>>40048164
no. nothing helps except for low body fat and high contrast lighting
I suffer from IBS(irritable bowel syndrome) and I struggle to eat large amounts of food without stomach problems. Because of this I've been skinny for years and never gained weight. What the hell am I supposed to do to get fit?
Liquid calories
Concentrated food
You could try making snack bars with powdered milk, butter, whey, oats, honey or drinking shakes
>>40047986
why dont you hit your peak then come complain about this?
as it is youre currently just making up an excuse that hasnt even hindered your progress in order to not even begin

You guys want a gym horror story?
>at gym this evening
>doing cable pull downs
>watch a scrawny guy, looks around fresh college age, go to the bench press
>he literally has sticks for arms and struggles putting on the 45 pound weights on each end
>he sits down
>oh here we go
>he lfits the bar off the rack, idols, then the bar comes flying down to his face
>rush over to help him and another guy helps him too
>his front tooth is chipped
>oh fuck
>the other guy shouts for the staff
>kid is crying and licking over his wound that is gashing blood
>everyone else is just standing or sitting where they were in complete shock
felt bad for him, man.
>dropsets: you're doing it wrong
>>40048000
Funny enough, I was a fucking idiot and did drop sets as soon as I hit the gym when I was new. I would go to the gym, do 40 curls, then automatically, 35, 30, 25, then 20, and I was done.
Fuckin idiot before, lel.
>go into gym
>start squatting
>standing at bar just resting for a bit
>see one of the gym employees sitting at seated butterfly machine
>starts making weird faces
>gets up and collapses
>other gym staff notices and check him out
>ambulance is called and takes him to the hospital
>everyone's shaken so finish workout and leave
>come in a day later
>turns out his heart stopped and he died on the way to the hospital
>he had a history of drugs abuse and was turning his life around when his body just gave out
Fucking crazy. We could go at anytime, any day. And now our gym has a gains ghost.
