Well stop handling weed or the military is a no go. They drug test.
Get a job where you're at least midly active and that pays well. You could become a forklift driver and make good money or something else.
Go to therapy. Depression kills motivation, something you need to get fit. If you're gonna be a junkie and smoke use a bong, if you're on fags then forget ever getting fit, your lungs are gone. Switch to vape if thats the case.
Good luck op.

/fit/ I come with you for help/advice.
I've never fucking been here before, but I've been doing some shit for the past couple of days.
I'm 6'2 270 lbs, I'm a fat 19 yr old neet who's never really worked out a day in my life, I never played sports (I was in marching band for a time tho). I basically spend all my time in my room smoking ciggerretes drinking mtn dew, and doing very un/fit/ things.
But 5 days ago my /fit/ friend asks if I want to go to the gym with him. I don't. He says we can play racquet ball ( I like racquet ball. A lot.). Then I can go swim or chill in the hot tub while he works on his "gains".
Anyways, fast forward a bit. We're at the gym, I see the lifting shit, and I have the realization that I've never actually tried to lift actual weights before, Im a big dude I'm kinda strong, I worked part time at this rental yard for a bit and they would call on me to lift and carry shit that would normally take 3 men to carry. So I thought I was a kinda strong. But now I get to put it to the test.
So we go over to the "weights" ( idk gym lingo and shit so pardon me if I sound retarded fat neet hear remember that.), and my friend knows I'm kind of a strong dude so he wants to see how much I can benchpress, I'm stronger then my friend (Hes not really a lift /fit/ dude he's a boxer.), and we both know that and he benches 210 so he puts 100 on the bar to start it off. I can do it. He amps it up to 200. I can do it. ( He set a 5 "rep" minimum for each time.) He amps it to 250. I can do it. He amps it to 300. I can do it. Although at this point I'm pretty tired and my arm hurts. So we go play racquet ball for a bit. Then come back, he wanted to go train but I wanted to see if I could bench more. So he put 350 on. I can do it. We were about to add another 50 but he realised he couldn't "spot" me at that much so we call over another dude, he says not to put on another fifty but to go up another 25. So I stopped at 375.
I know I could have done 400.-

-2 days later I ask if I can go to the gym with him ( He goes every other day.). He thinks I'm trying to lose weight but I just want to see how much I can lift.
I tell him that I want to lift some more shit. My arm was pretty sore but I didn't really care. So he shows me how to "deadlift" and I get up to 375, and he wants me to stop. I CANT STOP. I MUST LIFT MORE. I tell him I'm not a pussy and to add 25 more. He does. I do that shit.
Then I go to chill in the hot tub cuz duck working out.
>>
I'm gonna shorten this up. Over the course of 5 days I basically just lifted shit and realised, I can lift.
I'm a fat lazy neet who can lift shit.
Bench: 375 so far. (Couldve done 400)
Dead:400
"Powerclean":400
Squat: 380
/fit/ how is this possible? Like, is it because I'm young and "in my prime" or some shit. Also how do I capitalize on this and become a strongman?
>>
>>39839999
In short, it's not. You made this up. You are lying. This never happened. You are not strong. You made this up to irritate guys struggling with gains with high goals.
Nothing to see here.

The Sticky should have a PPL Routine like Reddits PPL or Coolcicadas PPL.
It only promotes strenght based programs.
Any other change proposals?

The sticky is garbage.
Recommends 1.5g of protien per pound on a bulk, top lel
1g is plenty on bulk

Reddit PPL is nice to start off. Working well for me.

>>39839963
Even less than that from recent studies I've seen. Can't remember exactly, but I think I saw .65/lb body weight for cutting and around .5 for bulking. The 1-1.5 is perpetuated by the supp industry. Hell I just eat meat with every meal and I'm good.

1 pint every 8 weeks. Give it 24hrs and you should be gtg. The biggest worry is popping the clot by doing rigorous activities within 6 hrs after giving. Best to use the day you give as a rest day.

Is pic related a meme or a good way to lose weight. If yes, what important? Endurance in time or heart rate, or calories?

cardio is a meme
just lift heavy things up and down for no reason
eat cars and brotein to get big brah
and then do roids for sloots brah
that's all you need in life
>>
>>39839600
OK I feel bad, so I'll answer properly
I do 60 mins 3 times a day
At first it was part of my weight loss regimen
But I realised that was just a meme. Doing this to create a calorie deficit will make you hungrier and tireder in the long run. For losing weight, it's mostly abou creating a deficit through diet. Weight training is good to supplement with because it's not realy abotu calories. But mainly diet. Don't do cardio to create the deficit.
Now I just do it to maintain cardiovascular health (i.e. I eat more to compensate for what was burned off).
reduced it to 60mins 2 times a week now because I walk a lot anyway
I just go as far as I can in the 60 mins.
The average kept increasing, now it seems to have plateued so I know I'm at a good level for myself.
I think a fixed amount of time is better than a fixed amount of distance, because with distance, you'll try and go faster and faster and it could turn into anaerobic instead of aerobic. Which is not cardio. So I say stick to fixed amount of time, maybe cover it up while you do it, only see how far you did at the end.
Good ruck.

is it normal for overhead press progress to be really slow ?
so i started 4 months ago, 35kg 3x6 easy and i'de say every few weeks i added 2.5kg, now i'm at 50kg, first week i got 3reps 2reps 1 rep the next 4,4,3 last week 6,6,4 so today i'll hopefully get 6,6,6 and can move up next week.
does this seem normal, slow or what ?

you're gonna stall with 2.5 kg increments really fast. if your gym doesn't have 0.5 kg plates buy 8 of them yourself so you have every number covered for 1 kg progression.
once you get advanced they will come in handy for all lifts
>>
I stalled pretty fast on OHP with 5x5 stronglifts too. Only made it to 85 pounds :(
>>
>>39838197
Glad I'm not the only one. Been stuck at 120lbs for 1.5 months going nowhere. Def recomend just starting a concurant program I will be soon
Can we have a /fit/ music thread?
I've been listening to old school Linkin Park while I life recently, and I've found that the raw and angry style of music really helps me push through those last few reps. The nostalgia is nice too. Can anyone recommend anything similar?
What do you listen too /fit/?
