That's where you fucked up. And it's not surprising, because earlier:
> Get diet in order, but mostly focused on exercise
Focus more on diet than exercise. Always.
So as a DYEL who hasn't swam in almost 10 years, how fucked am I if I want to do a 500m side stroke in ~10 mins.
Oh yeah I have about ~3 months to accomplish this.
>>39379241
Better get those speedos on bro.
In regards to my overall fitness, I'd say I'm roughly average in terms of strength with above average cardiovascular endurance?
>>39379241
Do you mean yards? 500m side stroke in 10m sounds difficult
Doing dumbbell shoulder fly's when neck/traps started first cramping then hurting like a bitch. Feels like when you sleep at a wrong angle and fuck your shit up. Anyone experience anything similar, and is it due to bad form or what?

What does /fit/ think of Kris Gethin?
Literally never heard of him before and from that pic i don't want to. Looks like a numale cuck.
>>39379220
Has some pretty decent programs. Got me from a fatass 215 to 160 in about 6 months. Thing is that he seems to have a hard on for DTP despite the fact that you're not supposed to do it as often as he's pushing it.
>>39379220
are his veins tattoed over?

>injure wrist and hip/groin area at the same time
>incapable of doing any exercise whatsoever
I took a week off and it was horrible. Injuries flared up again, and now I'm 2 days into taking at least a whole month off exercise. I feel like killing myself.
I'm trying to focus on other things but god damn it I just want to lift heavy stuff but I can't even do fucking cardio.
Please help me /fit/. Please tell me it's going to be all right.

How do poorfags into being /fit/?
I literally own a set of dumbells and that's it.
3 pounds, 5 pounds, 10 pounds, 15 pounds.
What are the best heavy exercises to do without a gym or any major equipment?
I suppose my diet is fine, I'm skinny fat right now and I haven't done anything but desk jocky-ing for the past two years.
What can I do?

You're gonna have to do better then that
Save up for a gym membership, buy some better weights or look into calisthenics
Buy a set of adjustable dumbbells, I bought a pair that goes up to 20 kg for 30 € from a garage sale. As I advanced I bought more plates. I did also some bodyweight exercises.
Later I have invested in a barbell and a squat rack.
>it takes 25 minutes to drive to nearest gym
>240 € per year
>>39378810
Pull ups (pull up bars cheap)
Push ups (buy push up bars to not fuck wrists)
Run 5k.
Save up $ for gym memebership, but this will at least get you started. Not you will never get Natty this way, only basics to strength. Which is better than nothing.
What IS it?!

Ghrelin (pronounced /ˈɡrɛlJn/), the "hunger hormone", also known as lenomorelin (INN), is a peptide hormone produced by ghrelinergic cells in the gastrointestinal tract[3][4] which functions as a neuropeptide in the central nervous system.[5] Besides regulating appetite, ghrelin also plays a significant role in regulating the distribution and rate of use of energy.[6]
When the stomach is empty, ghrelin is secreted. When the stomach is stretched, secretion stops.a It acts on hypothalamic brain cells both to increase hunger, and to increase gastric acid secretion and gastrointestinal motility to prepare the body for food intake.[7]
The receptor for ghrelin, the ghrelin/growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR), is found on the same cells in the brain as the receptor for leptin, the satiety hormone that has opposite effects from ghrelin.[8] Ghrelin also plays an important role in regulating reward perception in dopamine neurons that link the ventral tegmental area to the nucleus accumbens[9][10] (a site that plays a role in processing sexual desire, reward, and reinforcement, and in developing addictions) through its colocalized receptors and interaction with dopamine and acetylcholine.[5][11] Ghrelin is encoded by the GHRL gene and is presumably produced from the cleavage of the prepropeptide ghrelin/obestatin. Full-length preproghrelin is homologous to promotilin and both are members of the motilin family.
>>39378709
Leptin (from Greek λεπτός leptos, "thin"), the "satiety hormone",[a] is a hormone made by adipose cells that helps to regulate energy balance by inhibiting hunger. Leptin is opposed by the actions of the hormone ghrelin, the "hunger hormone". Both hormones act on receptors in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus to regulate appetite to achieve energy homeostasis.[4] In obesity, a decreased sensitivity to leptin occurs, resulting in an inability to detect satiety despite high energy stores.[5]
Although regulation of fat stores is deemed to be the primary function of leptin, it also plays a role in other physiological processes, as evidenced by its multiple sites of synthesis other than fat cells, and the multiple cell types beside hypothalamic cells that have leptin receptors. Many of these additional functions are yet to be defined.[6][7][8][9][10][11]
I like to go hiking and cross country skiing but I spend most of my day in an office
How do I know which exercises are suitable for me?
I'm unsure how spending most of your day in an office and frequently skiing and hiking somehow implies that you should do things differently.
You're not special, follow the same general guidelines anyone else would follow:
>Compound lifts
>Eating properly
>HIIT if you want to stay lean, burst your heart
Question answered.

>>39378572
what the fuck was the point in this post did you have a bad day at work phaggot?
>>39378546
You should train with squats and lunges, they have insanely good carry over to Skiiing and Hiking, I do both.
Cardio is pretty important, obviously, my favorite (and best carry over) is incline hill walking and the stairmaster if your gym has one. Low intensity steady state.
Deadlifts are also really great for your posture, which as you would know are very important for both Hiking and Skiing. I had a buddy of mine nearly completely snap his shit up, while he was getting checked out/Xrayed, the doctor said had he not had such insanely strong lower back/spinal muscles he would have definitely slipped a disc and possible ruined his spine for life.
That same guy also pulls 405 Deadlifts for reps. So I have reason to believe that is no coincidence and having a very strong core could save your life if an accident occured while on the slopes.
Hope this helped.
>>39378603
Great, so what you're telling the OP is that he should do compound lifts and not ignore legs? And some cardio too? So:
>Compound lifts
>HIIT
Pretty much the same thing you'd tell anyone else who didn't care purely about pwr/oly lifting. Groundbreaking shit, really.
Alright /fit/, I'm sick of being fat. Background, I play football and I'm an offensive lineman for my college's team (D3). I'm pretty strong, but I also have a gut. At this point, I'm totally willing to lose some muscle and strength in order to lose fat as well. Anyone have any tips? Thanks in advance.
Eat less.
>>39378595
/thread
Read the sticky, eat less calories. If you're already training hard for football then just drop your food intake a little and the pounds should fall off
Going to wear these in the gym instead of the usual earbuds.
How long until I get bashed?
>>39378515
i wear over the ear beats (gift, didnt buy myself). earbuds fall out of my earholes. no one cares. end of thread.

youre a fag
how much weight loss is a 500 deficit a day?
The difference in TDEE between my goal weight and current weight is only like a few hundred calories
1 lb per week
-500/day is -1 lb/week
