Daily reminder that Iskra Lawrence is a fat, unlovable pig.
1: stop posting ``high test'' bitches who got tons of cosmetic surgery
i would still shove my face in her ass and sniff. fake or not
How do I get upper back muscles like pic related? I do rows, face pulls, deadlifts, weighted pull-ups and trap work but I don't have that ripply back-shred. Is this just low bf%?
>>39886699
If you are a girl, steroids. If you are a guy try lifting
genetics will play a role
>>39887820
a minor role. everyone has the same back muscles, and it's tiring to hear you fat, autistic, lazy cunts not doing anything about it. If you only put as much effort into eating, sleeping, and lifting *correctly*, instead of dismissing hard work as genetics, you'd be on that level. alas, here we are
Why hasn't the sticky been updated to the latest protein intake studies?
Eric Helms just did his PHD on protein intake and came to the conclusion that you should eat 1.2g per KG bodyweight if bulking or maintaining, and 1.8g per KG bodyweight if cutting.
That said, why does sticky still say 1g per Lbs?
Isn't 1g/lb pretty close to 1.8g/kg?
>>39886641
nobody can afford to buy this much protein
>>39886702
That's even lower than 1g/lb, which is what has been thrown around here. Your statement is utterly incorrect
TL;DR 6'0" 230lbs, is 1500 calories too little in the day if I go to the gym 5-6 times a week doing cardio and lifting to try and lose weight?
I used to be 200lbs and a little more fit from the job I have but it's a seasonal job and I got laid-off and gained 30 pounds being a fat lump of shit. Calorie calculators haven't steered me wrong in the past but now they're saying I should eat 2300 a day to lose 2 pounds a week and that just feels like a whole lot of food.
Will I make it and lose weight or should I eat the 2300 calories?
Also general weight loss stories and routines.
>>39886562
1500 is aggressive for your height.
It'll work and you'll lose weight faster, but don't be surprised if you're a lot weaker.
I don't know how sedentary you are, or what you're doing at the gym 5-6 days a week, but you'll need a lot more calories to facilitate that kind of work.
Can't give any specifics, but start at 3000 a day. If you're losing weight, keep it. You probably will lose weight at that anyhow with the new addition of that much stress from exercising. If you don't lose weight, lower by 250-500. Get to know how your body responds.
1500 is way too low
>>39886562
i'm 5'9, 145 pounds. if I want to lose weight, I should eat 1500 calories a day, and that's without exercise. you need more food if you're lifting. also, you will be starving and probably won't make it.
Hey /fit/ I need some pointers, I'm 6'2" and 210lbs. I'm decently sized but TFW skinnyfat. I don't want the bullshit of "looking shredded brah" but I want to get YUGE, rn I've been lifting for 3 weeks and I've noticed a bit of a change but I feel retarded. What is three best way on a budget to become one of you glorious bastards.
>>39886545
eat heavy and lift heavy
>>39886545
If you've only been lifting for three weeks, I'd say you're asking this way too early. Keep doing what you're doing(which is hopefully right), and ask again in six months.
What is your routine?
How much are you eating?
>>39886545
take 4 dicks up the ass daily
for the people who use their backpack for gym and school, what backpack do you use?
I have some cheapass laptop bag. But its actually sturdy and hardwearing as fuck.
Although wtf lol I just googled it and it costs £40 brand new.
I got it for free from my old workplace.
Targus is the brand.
>>39886535
gross, my gym bag smells like ass
>>39886535
>fulltime well paid engineering job
>work as freelancer on the side
>still use same beaten plain-black backpack from freshmen college days
It pisses my gf the fuck off
kek every time
My gf got me this foam roller for christmas, but I have no idea what the fuck I'm supposed to be doing with it. They included a little booklet with some "exercises" to do, but I'm wondering what results to expect.
Does this just help with DOMS? or will this actually improve my flexibility and ability to squat for example?
Basic foam roller tips for a noob pls.
Its not really for exercising
Its to help your muscles become less tight. It works wonders
>>39886511
will my muscles being less tight improve my ability to squat?
>>39886529
Yes
Not sure about your ability to squat more but you will definitely have a better range of motion and have better quality of lifts
bodyweight fitness is meme and of course reddit plebs are eating that shit up.
this guy is the trainer, DYEL as fuck senpai

>>39886448
i dunno looks pretty fit, maybe he isn't trying to go for the jacked look. Ya know, that isn't for everyone
>>39886448
It's not like he claims to get anyone huge. General strength, mobility, and health are just fine. Also the guy is actually in good shape to pull off those moves. I doubt he eats for size.
>an entire subreddit that takes advice from a Russian DYEL's YouTube vids
Femanon here, how do I achieve this body?
I want to get a bigger booty and I guess you have to lift, but I don't want to get too bulky...

Embarrassing, burger. Kill yourself.
>mfw no gf
>mfw start lifting in hopes of getting a gf

Congratulations.

>women just get in the way of lifting
if you aren't a beta cuck, they don't.
I haven't missed a single gym day since I started dating my current gf. There have been a couple times when I went at non ideal hours, but I always made it work.
>>39886992
the beginning of the end
I ate an entire pan of dominos for my cheat day
There's been some debate whether to cheat all day or just the meal. I'm thinking to stick to 1 meal and go back to my routine which is eat little to modest around dinner
>*BRAAAAAAAAAAAAP*
NICE AND STINKY ;)
>>39886386
>there's been some debate
Kek
One meal/day doesn't fucking matter
>>39886544
well your insulin spikes up and you burn even more sugars just not sure if should be done all day since it might spill into the next

Professional weight lifter
Do you guys still do these? I haven't been here in a while. Post em if you got em. All-time best or current.
This was my peak in summer of 2013, before I fucked up my back and haven't been able to deadlift/squat at any decent level since.
>>39886293
I just looked at that site.
Apparently my deadlift is "elite" now with a predicted 1RM of 256kg at 86kg bw
Website?
And been lurking here a couple months and only seen symettric strength stuff.

FACT: Training for Ninja Warrior is the best way to get /fit/
Prove me wrong.
I'd like to see one of the ninja warrior finalists deadlift 650lbs.
>>39886273
ninja warriors train for functional strength mate. why would they even attempt your dumb challenge of picking up a loaded barbell in your gym safe space.
>>39886273
I'd like to see you get past the 1st ledge of the cliffhanger
