Hi /fit/, how many of you started being a skinny weakling neet and ended up being fit?
I'm on the spooky mode right now, and I need help.
>read the sticky.
I just want to know who else is or was in a similar situation.
Pic unrelated.
I was somewhat spooky when I started, but was always fairly athletic up until middle school, then video games became my life. Turned skinny-fat, literally chugged cherry coke by the 2-liter.
Bench started at about 85x5. DL was 150x5. Squat was about 120x5.
After 16-17 months of PP/PPL/TM Im at 285/410/500 1RM now. 5'9 manlet.
Im still fat but im down to 188lb from 295lb @6.0ft like 3 years ago. Never thought id be able to cut to 250lb never mind sub 200lb
Hoping to end this year at 180lb, then its time reevaluate, should i cut more to 170/165 before lifting.
Its taking me a long time but i realised 18 mnths ago this was a lifestyle change. Some of you guys here have helped me stay focused.
We are all gonna make it brahs.

>went to shop and bought 15kg of peanut butter, accidentally ate it all in one night.
WHERE DID I GO WRONG
Can you take a picture of all your empty peanut butter jars? You make this thread every 2nd day
>>39355341
garbage day was yesterday too
>>39355341
2nd day? This was here this morning with the same song
/fit/ I don't know who to turn to. I've been a night owl all my life. My college classes starting yesterday make me need to get up at 6am every day. Yesterday I crawled into bed at 10pm and I couldn't sleep. I couldn't fall asleep until 4am, and took a 5 hour nap when I got home. I was so exhausted I couldn't even lift. Today, it's now 2:30am and I still can't sleep. I have to wake up in 3 and a half hours, and physically im exhausted. But mentally my brain won't shut down. What the fuck do I do? Does anyone here have any advice for me ?
>>39355306
that sucks. ive been the same way since 8th grade, and just learned to deal with being tired all the time until i discovered modafinil. my doc prescribed it to me and it helps get me through the day, except now ill go days without sleeping and am pretty sure a major crash is coming soon.
Do you drink coffee?
Don't take a nap. Sleep at 10pm even if you can't get to sleep. wake up at 6 and have a cup of coffee. don't nap. go to sleep at 10pm, even if you cant sleep. wake up at 6 and have a cup of coffee.
you should have it by day 2. if not then day 3.
>>39355311
That sounds pretty unhealthy. People told me to go doctors and get prescriptions but I just don't want to, I rather do something a little more natural.
>>39355313
I'm going to do it. I'll stay up until 10pm tomorrow night I'll drink coffee I'll complain. I'll do anything I have to so I can make it to that point. Thanks bubs. Just need to think about day 2 or 3... Lol
What are some good appetite suppressants?
>In before ECA stacks & water.
>>39355088
Tea, cigarettes, coffee
Meth. Just take a small bump in the morning and again around noon.

>6am coffee and yogurt
> 10am chicken Broccoli rice
>3 pm two eggs and toast

>>39355030

I'm benching 65 kilos with 5x5. I just cannot seem to reach 70. It's taking forever. What do I do?
>>39355008
switch to a lighter bar
push ups
dumbell press
more chest exercises in general
deload 10% on 5x5 and continue from there
You cutting?
I could only get about 70-75 kgs when i was 18
never weighed more than 62 kgs myself
i figured i needed to gain more weight before i could do more. never tried since.
Daily reminder that if you use the words
>healthy
>nutritious
>fattening
>organic
>processed
>other non-quantifiable terms
OR
>use anything made by Onnit
>believe BPA-free plastics "contain estrogen"
>believe the trace amounts of hormones in meat/dairy actually have an effect
>use the phrase "eating clean"
You need to GTFO because this board is for bodybuilding, lifting/health SCIENCE, and waifus, not iron pill weirdos, soccer moms and other Whole Foods Shoppers. Seriously why do so many of you faggots sound like Instagram fitness tea saleswomen? Shut the fuck up, count your macros, and lift heavy shit.
You're an idiot. Eating clean just means eating foods that are calorie efficient for delivering macros.
You need to get the fuck out. You obviously don't know what you're talking about.
>>39354878
>complains about people using the word healthy
>tells others that /fit/ is for bodybuilding, health, and that they should count their macros
Kill yourself
>>39355161
health SCIENCE
health is quantifiable. Healthy is not.
>>39355148
So fucking what? Why did that need a fancy word? Just hit the fucking macros.
Hey guys I was wondering if anyone knew of a beginner workout series to do at home to get stronger. I can't make too much noise (so no Insanity) and I only really have room for dumbells. Is there a free regimen + videos out there for something like this? I checked the sticky and it didn't have what I was looking for. I'm an average/skinny guy in his early 20's and I've not worked out before.
Advice is greatly appreciated
Bumping
Plz?
Look up convict conditioning, also try to get pull up bar. But best thing would be to just go to gym.
>everyone says being ripped will help you get girls
But how will they know you're ripped?
I can't help but think this wouldn't be an issue if you had massive forearms. food for thought.
>>39354645
Are you serious? You think it's hard for people to know you're ripped? You're jawline will be cut and your arms will be stretching the shirt sleeves.
Congrats, now you have a goal to work towards.
Because you'll have an imposing figure but very defined facial bones and a nice v-taper.
Following Ketogenic diet for short-term is an easy and effective way to reduce weight.It is also called low-carb diet,When ketogenic diet is followed carbs are taken in less quantity which forces the body to burn fats for energy.Read more on http://www.heallthiswealth.com/what-ketosis-ketogenic-diet-plan-for-weight-loss/

Nope.

Just eat less fatfuck.
You need all macronutrients you retarded degenerate. The issue with "short-term ketogenic diet" is... What do you think is going to happen when you stop it?
You're going to gain all the the weight back. It's not reliable. It needs to be a lifestyle rather than a "diet", which implies temporary. Are you going to eat low carb for the rest of your life? Probably not.
Once you stop keto diet its not necessary that you would gain the weight back again.The controlled diet and exercise would ensure that weight is under control and you remain fit.Avoid taking diet high in carbs eg rice during night, it really works
Greyskull LP
I started it last week
I'm just a bit confused as what I should do on my second week..? Do I reset or do I continue to alternate between Press and bench?
Also, routine thread I guess
Bump
Need to know gonna hit the gym in an hour. I wanna do this shit right
>>39354212
Just continue alternating back and forth between them. Squats and deads are the only set exercises on each day.
What kind of accessories are you all running with this program
Are machines truly as bad as they say.
Ok for beginners? Usabe by experts? Or should everyone stay away?
Machines are good accessory work, if you have a specific muscle falling behind you can use them to pinpoint
Machines were great for me post-hernia surgery, not to mention the wonders that a reverse hyper will do.
However, the problem with machines is that your body doesn't engage the minor stabilizer muscles and you develop your muscles in an unbalanced way compared to compound exercises with free weights.
All that said and the only thing that matters is that you lift heavy things up and put them down. Machines will still get you there, just slower than free weights.
>>39353520
Accessory at best.
Guys I just fell in love with squats. I think it might be the single greatest exercise you can do. Legs feel great, whole body feels great. Do your squats. I'm going to do them everyday.
>>39353393
Yeah, I am one of the lucky ones who are built for squats. I have been working out four weeks now (after a long hiatus) and just hit double my body weight today. Feels good.
>>39353393
>high back squat
>>39353393
Are those 25 lb plates? Why even bother at that weight?
How do i into bane mode?
did someone say bane?
>>39352520
It's important to have a plan, ideally one that includes getting caught.
