How do you guys cope with life being so difficult and all the endless setbacks it throws in your face?
>>39639461
by being myself
just bee yourself advice only works with people who aren't broken
>>39639471
Mental fitness and health is too often overlooked.
How did pre-industrial civilizations like Greeks or Vikings get so ripped like statues pretend when they didn't have access to perfect diets, steady supply of meat, protein, etc.?
They didn't. They just understood anatomy and made statutes depicting what they would consider ideal bodies.
they didnt live sedentary lifestyle and had to shit manually, i.e. manual labor
>implying greek and viking warrior classes didn't have access to good diets high in protein
What should I work on next?

QTDDTOT : Questions That Dont Deserve Their Own Thread
I'm 20yo, 6'1 for 170 pounds and i calculated that i should eat around 3000kcal everyday to maintain weight. Is it too much ? Do you think i fucked up ?
>>39630222
It's probably about right, granted that you were honest about your activity level when calculating
>>39630222
Does anyone know how much protein is actually in beans? On the label it says about 6.8g of protein per 100g for black beans, but online i keep reading things like 20g. Even google says 20g
>>39630593
Well i work in a pretty big post-office where i have to move a lot of heavy boxes and such, so might be it ?
Thank you kind guy
>>39630598
I'd be tempted to say to trust the label
Convince me not to. Totally serious.
>>39629156
Why are you going vegan? Is it a moral choice or a health choice?
>>39629156
>Convince me not to
Why? It's the only logical choice tbqh
t. lifelong omnivore soon to be vegan
>>39629156
The only reason I don't also go vegan is because i've been trolled into thinking soy causes mantits because of too much time of 4chan. How'd you overcome your personal ideological hangups?
Why aren't you cooking once a week?
Because chicken tastes like ass a day after.
Because I'm cooking everyday.

Don't worry you'll grow out of strength training eventually Mr Fedora.
My gym has 3 different barbells, 35lbs, 45lbs and 55lbs.
What's the difference, and which do I use?
>>39642075
>What's the difference
Should be self explanatory, but they may differ in diameter and fill up more of your hand
>and which do I use?
45lbs minimum.
Barbells should be 45lbs and 28-29mm in diameter.
No more, no less.
>>39642075
you should use the diameter closest to your dick, that is the safest cos u are used to it
so i guess the smallest
Anyone else wish there were more days in the week?
If the week was 8 days long I would have one extra workout to isolate whatever body part I wanted to, it would really help me focus my weakpoints.
>>39641907
i don't know what's real and what's bait anymore
>>39641907
How the fuck would it make any fucking difference you autistic spas?
>>39642434
Its obvious.
7 modulo 2 =1
8 modulo 2 =0
Are you retarded?
/fit/ cringe thread
>>39641830
that's not cringe that's respectable as fuck
dude is in a wheelchair and basically has every exercise to get fat yet he exercises instead and can probably do more weighted pull-ups than your dumb ass
>>39641830
If I wanted /fit/ cringe I would've asked for your max bench
>>39641830
What's your take on a weight vest /fit? I'm fighting depression and find that taking long walks helps me clear my head. Why not get ripped while I'm at it. Or will I even see results with a weight vest?
Expect no changes to your body whatsoever apart from slightly leaner looking calves and sore knees
Wouldn't bother going on walks with it for fitness sake, but they are useful for adding difficulty to calisthenic movements like pushups, dips, pullups, or squats.
I recommend doing barbell squats, it's hard to be depressed about your life when you can be depressed about your max squat
