Can you really build a body/"tone"/look different from doing pilates?
Yes if done properly
I don't know.

Tits or get the fuck back to tumblr, you harlot
Why aren't you getting acupuncture right now, anon? Helps with recovery and keeps mind in balance.
Other ways you keep a healthy balanced body and mind?
>>39694857
I've had acupuncture twice, and I highly recommend it.
Almost feel asleep both times because I was so relaxed
Not into snake oil.
>>39694857
Any benefits people claim from acupuncture are placebo. Stop trying to jew for your dying chink needle shoving industry.
I'm going to start picking up girls online, any tip?
I'm doing this as practice before doing it in a bar.
I really need some advice.
I simply want to learn how to be an asshole to girls.

if you cant pick up a girl when you can hear her tone of voice/see her expressions etc
you wont do it online
any success you get will be purely luck and you harm yourself in the long term by ingraining bad habits
>>39694832
Just be attractive. Use angles, filters and lighting to your favor. Identify your good traits and accentuate them.

is this real? is this the key? please confirm or deny with anecdotal evidence.
How does throwing up work? If you eat a pizza and throw it up after five minutes can you really force out all of it? Should I eat a fruit before eating it so I know when the fruit appears when vomiting it means I threw up the whole pizza?
enjoy your nogains
Stop wasting food.

I recently got a gf about a month ago.
She's a skinny white girl and a real qt and I love her very much, but how do I get her to become a THICC goddess so that she is more suited to bear children?
Do I just buy her a ton of food and have her work out with me?
just be yourself
>>39694789
Yup. Literally that.

I've recently started planking. Why is it that every guide recommends you to initially do it for only 20 seconds, and why do I see people commenting "I can hardly do 40" on pages related to it? I'm a fat fuck, but 1 minute is about the time where I give up though I can stretch it a little further.
Am I doing something wrong or what the fuck is this?
Planks aren't meant for fatties. You have to engage your erectors and frontal core for long periods of time. If you've got a bunch of lard hanging off the front of you you're fucking with the balance. Lose weight.
>>39694779
>tfw did 90 seconds today
>>39694779
Most likely you're doing it wrong. I did isometrics for a little while and the first month was me realizing my form was horrible. You need to learn how to engage your muscle groups like the first post says. If practiced correctly, you could learn to engage those muscle at any given moment.
I know I'm a weak ass faggot, but I DL'd 3.5plates today after 2.5 months of training deadlifts (was lifting for 11 months before it, but doing shitty brosplits) and I kinda feel good about it. Anyway, even on my warmup sets I've felt that sometimes I get a bit lightheaded rarely in the middle of the rep, sometimes after the rep, usually after. It's a very mild feeling, nothing bad, I don't see stars or anything, I can move just right, however today I've got it really bad. Basically I couldnt walk in a straight line at that point, I was pretty close to blacking out I think. I've tried to read up on it and I couldn't find anything about it, some say ditch valsalva, some say don't. I love deadlifting and don't want to stop doing it pls help what the fuck do I do wrong, how can I not get lightheaded, it didn't bother me before but I haven't gotten this close to actually blacking out yet. I wasn't training fasted, drank my whey with milk and ate a banana an hour before it.
>>39694775
Same type of thing happens to me sometimes. heavy squats or DL's. Only when I do a shit ton of reps or super high weight though. Everything gets kinda fuzzy and I need to chill out for around a minute or I feel like I could black out.
This has happened to me before. Usually from holding my breath too long.
>>39694896
>>39694814
So nothing to do about it just suck it up and get stronger for the next time?
Has anyone else experienced this?
I woke up yesterday with a pain in my heel and I don't know why. I haven't done any lower body lifting since Friday and no cardio or anything after. It just came out of nowhere. Imagine you landed with your heel on the steel frame of a trampoline and had to walk a week later. It's that type of pain.
The only place that hurts directly to touch is right where my index finger is, nowhere else. There is no swelling or bruising. I don't think it's Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction.
I can't lift if this goes on, please respond.
Probably plantar fasciatis
>>39694774
That was my first thought but my thing doesn't really match these:
>"The pain is usually most severe with the first steps of the day or following a period of rest"
>"Pain is also frequently brought on by bending the foot and toes up towards the shin"
bone spurs?

How do I stop eating out? It's starting to become a financial issue for me.
Check to see if you're mentally retarded
>>39694607
I am.
>>39694578
Same way you start eating out all the time expect the opposite.
How fucked am I, boys?

Almost permanently unfucked

Will take 2 years for you to fix that shit, good luck bro

I don't know who that fag is, but it's for sure OP
Where do I buy ZMA? I heard of its good benefits to sleep, muscle growth, and sex drive.
>>39694426
I buy it from myprotein.
The effects of it are blown way out of proportion online but if you're deficient in magnesium or zinc it will really boost your testosterone.
Same goes for Vitamin D(3).
>>39694426
You can buy it at just about any supplement site or shop.
The effects aren't as tangible as people seem to say they are. I take it and it helps me sleep through the night, when otherwise I wake up 2-3 times a night. It makes me feel a bit more well rested in the morning but it honestly could just be placebo.
The dreams are pretty lit though.
>>39694901
do you take it right before bed or at anytime?
>start eating almonds for easy bulking
>stomach keeps hurting
>tell gymbro about it
>"Are they raw? You can't eat raw almonds, dude. They've got enzymes humans can't digest. You should eat roasted almonds from now on. Soak the raw ones in water overnight to make them fit to eat. It's called 'activating' almonds."
YOU TOLD ME ACTIVATED ALMONDS WERE A MEME, /fit/!
>>39694370
fuck i love raw almonds though. i should probably start roasting them because my dad lets some of his nuts soak in water but when i tried them they tasted like garbage.
