What does /fit/ think of the BUFF DUDES?
Do women care?
Women will reject you for your autism far before your abs (or lack thereof) ever come into play, bud.

>Running General
if i run in the morning, is it okay to run on an empty stomach?
i don't want to eat a light snack and then wait half an hour, would rather run when i wake up
any downsides to running on an empty stomach?
>>40026620
Nope
Nothing wrong with it. Some people get nauseas but if you don't then good for you.
Why are those girls wearing gloves

>Why are those girls wearing gloves
someone who doesnt know about work outs think girls need this for some reason and decided to add it into his photo shoot
Out of all the youtube fitness stars, who gives the best advices? Which ones give shit advice?
Scooby, of course.
His nutrition advice is a little shitty, but otherwise he's top tier

Anyone have problems with lower back hyper-extension during deadlifts? Should I just lower my weight and work on form?
General injury prevention thread I guess
Really focus on engaging your core and brace properly.
Something that might also help is to clench your glutes while you're standing as you set up, helps cue loading the posterior chain
>>40021628
Yeah I'm not sure if it's because I look up a bit in the mirror before I start my set. Like maybe my lower back is tight and neutral but when I look up a bit, it throws things off
>>40021696
>I look up a bit in the mirror before I start my set
wrong
>when I look up a bit, it throws things off
no shit, stop doing it
I'm 23 and almost 2 meters tall. I used to be underweight or slim because i didn't eat properly, but the last year i've gained ten kilos from exercise and a good diet. I've also gained some muscles, but my fat percentage has increased. I used to have abs without flexing, but now i've put on some fat.
I used to have about 7-8, but now i have around 12. I'm afraid that if i begin to cut calories i would lose mass. How do you cut your fat percentage in a good way?
>>40021587
Just to add, i've been eating very healthy. Almost no fats or carbohydrates. I'm afraid this has influenced my Leptin levels and slowed my metabolism. How do you prevent this?
>>40021638
why the fuck have you not been eating fats
>>40021587
Build up first, then worry about abs after., and get some fat and carbs in, jesus.
Post 3 positive things about your gym, 3 neutral things, and 3 negative things. I'll start.
Pros
>Extremely clean and well-kept
>2 heated pools, a whirlpool, and sauna
>Not too many serious lifters at gym, meaning freeweight section isn't usually packed
Neutral
>Gym has a Zumba cult. Lots of classes, people all go out afterwards, have events, parties, etc.
>A little on the expensive side but it keeps the riff raff away
>Most people who go are into cardio or are older folks doing pt/rehab work
Negatives
>Not 24 hours, and limited weekend hours
>If more than 5 people want to use free weights, it gets cramped and you have to wait longer
>Lots of old men come there like its a boys club and get in the way and don't really come to work out.
>>40021437
Sure why not
Pros
>multiple locations so i can combine my workout with whatever errands im running, or can go to a less popular location during peak hours
>some locations have a pool, sauna, and steam room, and the membership is cheap for having these amenities
>actually plays music BESIDES the top 5 shit they play on the radio. Hated my college gym for doing this and its so nice to hear different music, and sometimes actually good stuff.
Neutral
>some locations have high ceilings, which i like, but doesnt really affect anything
>lots of THICC asians to stare at between sets
>has 1 set of bumper plates. I only use them for deadlifts but theyre a pain with those retarded hex plates that every gym by me uses.
Cons
>crowded, never a squat rack. Ive never been able to walk in and start squatting right away.
>no really, sometimes its fucking crowded, like the gym is unusable crowded. I used to go at noon where it wasnt a problem but now that i have a workout partner going in the evening is a massive pain.
>despite this obvious crowding problem, management refuses to get more free weights. Large locations have 2 squat racks, smaller ones only 1, and theres only 1 set of dumbbells at each weight.
O.K.
Pros
>Not too many people use it. It's been a little busier with NYRers but still pretty manageable
>People are friendly, will let you work in, etc. Most people know each other because it's always the same people there.
>Costs 20$ for the whole year (school gym) and has a free towel service.
Neutral
>I don't really know what to put here. The plates are all right.
>There are a bunch of machines there.
>There are hot girls there but there are also ugly girls.
Cons
>I swear all the bars are different weights and most of them DO NOT weigh 20kg. When I go to different gyms, the weight always feels slightly heavier so there's definitely some kind of barbell conspiracy going on.
>There's no weightlifting rack and only one squat rack.
>The only place to do pullups is the cable crossover machine and the bar on it sucks because it's at a weird angle.
>>40021437
Pros
>Dyel machine using fags
>Dyel fags cant lift much weight so i dont need to wait around to use plates
>When theres a girl there you're the best thing they have to look at
Cons
>Nobody even lifts
>Like 3 benches and more smith machines than squat racks
>Kids keep asking for advice when they probably eating 1500 calories a day
Neutral
>automatic air freshener but it smells funny
>Not 24/7 but empty on weekends for the most part
>Can do an opposite split to everyone else so theres always a free bench on friday when i do chest
>2017
>Doesn't smoke cigarettes
Are you bullied, mentally handicapped or both?
>b-but it kills you
And? Was life a contest about who lives the longest?
>it's addicting!!!
It's not, as long as you're not under-aged and you can smoke in moderation
>it's....IT'S EXPENSIVE!!!

I've got the willpower to diet, and I'm sure exercise will aid the depression, but I'm very aware of my dependence on the alcohol and please understand that that's not going anywhere for now. I managed to quit smoking(clean for a month so far) and have lost 18 pounds by cutting back on sugar, 3 hours of exercise daily, and not eating bread. I'm sure the alcohol consumption has slowed this considerably, but 4 of my friends died recently and it's been all I have to cope, going to family and friends made it worse because they belittled me or got angry, and from what I can see in myself, that made the drinking worse. I've been making life changes like making one person happy per day, and when I want a smoke I have a bite of chocolate or something. What dieting/exercises changes can I make to counteract the booze? Please keep in mind that I need coping mechanisms, because unlike the others of /fit/, I'm quite imperfect. I weigh 194lbs, I'm 5'10-5'11. Goal is no gains until I quit drinking. I'm aiming for 160 lbs. What's the best way to drop it without quitting drinking alcohol? I know plenty of you think it's stupid, (I know it's pretty stupid) or can't be done without dropping booze/the occasional bite of chocolate, but please, offer an honest answer. Try. I've got the will to lose it, and if I do it successfully, maybe the willpower to drop the others will follow suit.

When you see people who lift for aesthetics (Zyzz, Jeff Seid etc) why are they never with girls who are 9/10+. I only see them with 6/10s at most.
>>40025450
Cus they have literally no personality.
Their life and identity is lifting.
Talking barbells aren't all that attractive
>>40025461
Plus huge amount of arrogance instead of confidence

5. Fat Should Comprise Roughly 30% Of Overall Calories
The positive to a Vegan diet is that the fats consumed are of the healthy kind; mainly Omega-5 from nuts.

what i mean is like top pic in pic related, that's what usually happens when i touch too low, and what's happening slightly in my webm i think, instead of the bottom pic where the forearms & elbows are aligned
I am suffering from depression and I want to commit suicide as a result of not being able to sort out my troubling situation and as a result I tell strangers in a powerlifting thread just so they can ignore me and go on with their life's while mine slowly disappears.
