Why does everytime i do my beginner SS i end up with a injury?
Once i get back into the gym, i reduce my weight back to just the bar and go through building the weight on the bar back up again, just for it to leave me in a injury.
I'm not even lifting anything heavy, my squat gets to 40 kg, bench 30kg, Row 32.5kg, OHP 25kg and deadlift 55kg.
It literally feels like im wasting my time, but i keep doing it in hopes of making it. Can anyone please tell me what im doing wrong?
Maybe it's my form, maybe it's my diet. If that's the case could anyone tell me how to actually improve it?
Thanks

1. shit form
or
2. too much weight

Look at what specifically you're injuring and fix your form to compensate

I want to drop £180 (after discount) on these, do any of you use them?
If so does the neck thing get in the way of the squat bar across your traps?
I'm not buying these exclusively for the gym but would intend on wearing them in there.

Jaybird x2 or x3 can be found for cheaper than that, have good sound quality, and no stupid neck thing.

>>39795617
I need the top end noise cancelling though

I bought ones for like £20, soundpeats q7 I think. Anyway, they sound amazing for £20, great for gym use.
Sound better than my Soundmagic wired plugs. Personally I wouldnt spend much on bluetooth.

Hey /fit/, I'm going vegan and I'm looking for any tips/pointers/experience (is it possible to be a /fit/ vegan?)
Background: I'm 22 and a recovering alcoholic who quit drinking 5 months ago. In that time, I've lost 45 lbs just adding light exercise and eating what I want (I was drinking A LOT). I'm still chubby but getting down to my goal level of body fat. Even though I've been losing weight, my diet is still pretty shit. Lots of sodium, processed foods with empty carbs, lots of sugar and fats. For me, going vegan is a way for me to start eating a healthier diet and try to lose the rest of my beer belly. I plan on integrating some light weight training/bodyweight exercises to get muscle tone, but I'm not trying to get shredded (yet).
Most vegan groups I've checked out are filled with whiny shits, which is why I'm here for a more realistic perspective. I'm not in it for the ethical/moral reasons, I'm just trying to get more /fit/, how do I do it and not die?
(pic related, maybe: I got some free samples of vegan protein powder recently and they're not bad tasting. one serving of the powder I tried mixed in 10 oz of unsweetened soy milk is about 24 g of protein, which is....not a lot)

Being a vegetarian will make it 100x easier. As you can eat eggs, drink milk and use whey.
>>
>>39795377
Sorry if this isn't the board for this, I know that the standard /fit/ diet is whole milk, chicken cutlets and oats but all the vegans I know seem unconcerned about protein which makes me think they might be malnourished
>>
>>39795404
I'm lactose intolerant as well, so I've already cut most dairy out of my diet. (I can tolerate some) but the biggest change will be cutting out the meat and cutting out things that have non-vegan ingredients (which is attractive to me because I want to eat less processed food like frozen meals and fast food).
Another struggle I'm having is that I see so much conflicting information on how much protein I should be eating. Usually the numbers I see people saying in communities like /fit/ is a lot higher than the numbers you would see on a vegan board

I'm having a hard time measuring my bodyfat with calipers
When I do it the proper way, measuring between the pinching fingers & my body the skin is just sliding out of my grip and I can't get an accurate measurement because it's just sliding out of my grip the whole time. We'll call the order of this grip->calipers->body
eg Scooby says do it this way
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPy-D9LZQqM
If I measure it outside of the grip (away from the body) so it's calipers -> grip->body am I still going to get an accurate reading? Because I can manage to get a proper grip then
I don't know why I can get a decent grip one way but not the other

Get someone to help you and use a picture guide. Unless you measure all 4 areas of body, its gonna be pretty inaccurate.

Get the fuck over it. Go to a playground and do pullups or go for a run, faggot.

I do. I'm 5x5 since November and and I'm feeling pretty shitty since than (only 3 days/week workout), that's why I will change to PPL when I go back to the gym next week.

Doing the sad for the holiday for Christmas.
When if the gymnasium was to shut :'(
You and me are for brothers if we are to have the same thing happened to us. Feeling each other.
Stay strong by feeling.... and muscles.

TFW> You are only given one life and what have I done with it?
So much time has been wasted and I just recently began to see and understand I only have one life and I should make more out of it. The internet is a trap, 4chan, forums and other interests online are a trap. Began smoking cannabis heavily and have finally understood a part of life and what is important. We are only here for a short time, and why not make a youtube channel, or a podcast talking to other people and your memory will be remembered.

What supplements are you on /fit/? I'm curious about what you take and if you have had any results. I'm starting with a multuvitamin just to keep things in check and I want to take zinc because there seems to be a lot of positive benefits. Anyone have experience with zinc?
But also just share what you take, why, and how it has helped or hurt your progress.

Im trying to quit weed but there is a major problem, I cant eat anything. Thinking about food makes me nauseus, after I eat something I just want to throw up. I actually handed the quitting part very easily, I dont even want to smoke anymore but I cant not eat anything, I feel like shit and Its only been 4 days since I last smoked.
What to do /fit/, anyone else had the same problem?
I didnt quit sips and tabacco, do you think quitting that would solve my problem?

yh cut out the tobacco. and just eat something every 2 hours, sooner or later your body will get use to it and think thats the default it needs ergo increasing ur appetite.
also tf dont quit weed man. get lit for life bruh bruh.
>>
>>39792945
I dont enjoy weed as I used to, I had some shit going in my life that just made me quit it, tho im still probably gonna smoke on weekends (I used to smoke 1g daily). What do you recomend eating? All the shit I try to eat goes down badly and I feel like shit afterwards.
>>
>>39792925
PROTIP!!
Caffeine and nicotine are both appetite suppressant, but lets be honest you're too weak willed to quit either so enjoy your lmao no gains druggy.

How come vikings were reported to be very tall people in a time when nutrition and healthcare was shit?

The viking culture, especialy for men was very much centered around strength and fighting.
It could be that viking women selected for tall men more than other cultures did
>>
>>39790776
They weren't. They were literally midgets by today's standards. You've probably heard they were comparatively tall because they had better access to meat and dairy than people other places in the world.

Does anyone here work 70-80 hours a week/work in a stressful as fuck profession and lift weights?
I'm thinking of getting into corporate law but the hours are a hard 80. Dunno how anyone could realistically do both.

This feel is way worse
1) Is M-Sten banned in the US?
2) Are there any close substitutes that give the same results?
3) where can I buy online?
4) Is it true that some supp shops have changed the compound of the banned substance by like one molecule to make it legal?
Need answers!

1)pretty sure it is one of the few that is not banned due to some legal technicality
2) Sarms, actual steroids
3) No idea, most places don't bother with it
4) It is my understanding that is the way companies would get around stuff being banned locked down via patents but the laws have changed
