Beginner here
Two weeks ago I started hitting the Gym and benched 50kg 4x12, today i tried 60kg but just 4 sets with 7 reps each.
Should I go back to 50kg?
/fit/ pls
>>39251218
No, alternate between long and short. I find 12 to be a little bit too much.
Read the sticky.
Hoo boy, what a big fellow!
>>39251200

>>39251230

>>39251230

>>39251152
thats a good one
is this normal? i think im even a little bit stronger than before
>>39251137
is pic related you?
>>39251137
Its not normal but it can be done through correct dieting/lifting (or if youre not natty)
>>39251137
Considering you're probably a beginner who never lifted heavy weights in his life before, yes it is possible. Noob gains are real.
>i think im even a little bit stronger
What is that even supposed to mean. Can you lift more weight or not?
>that guy who wears a belt for a one-plate set
Go on.
>>39250939

>that guy who wears a belt for sets less than 75% 1RM
where do i find pic related for cheap

>>39250924
You're either born with it or you're not. There are operations for it, but doctors advice living with your new gender for a year and see how it fits you before getting the surgery.
>>39250924
unless your extremly ugly you can probly find a black guy that will fuck you for free at most bars
fucking kek
It amazes me that people can be willing to get their head punched in, but not get their diet right. If your stomach goes out further than your chest, you shouldn't box 100

Being lean has nothing to do with fighting ability unless you're in a lower weight class.

How the fuck do I get over my fear of the gym?
I recently signed up to a gym and finally went today after 2 weeks of stalling.
I got there and looked around and I was fucking SCARED.
I basically walked around the cycling machines for 20 minutes, feeling very uncomfortable. At one point a man on one of them looked at me so I chuckled and shouted 'JUST LOOKING FOR A HELMET'. Half the people in the gym turned to look at me, then a member of staff asked if I was OK so I ran into the toilets and hid. Basically sat for 2 hours shaking. All I could do was film my hand shaking so I can show my psychologist later.
On the way out I walked over to some weights and wiped them with my shirt so people would think I was cleaning my sweat. Not sure why I did it because I had a coat on.
webm related, will be showing the doctor
I though people like you were a meme but wtf man , get a personal trainer and tell him you feel uncomfortable and scared , he will help you out
It's either quality bait or an average /fit/izen

Preworkout Thread
What brands do you feel are the best, and what are the ingredients?
Do you make your own? If so, what do you use?
I'm just starting with preworkout. I was thinking about buying something like Jack’d Up/Jack3d or HydroxyElite/OxyELITE. Then I discovered how expensive they are and found out that it'd be much cheaper to make my own. My current plan is to include:
•Caffeine
•Beta Alanine
•Creatine
•Citrulline
•BCAAs
Anything else you guys use/would recommend?
Also possibly DMAA (1,3-dimethylamylamine)
>No DMAA
>>39250540
I've heard a lot about the fact that it could be harmful so I didn't put it in initially

How do you guys make healthy food enjoyable?
What are some "tricks" I can use to help me start on healthy food and eventually cut it out? Fruits? Honey?
>What are some "tricks"
Have you tried not being a little bitch?
>>39250286
Find shit you like. I love me some chicken and some oats.
>>39250286
Focus on the healthy things you do like and don't absolutely hate and try lots of new and healthy things. Also realize that your tastes have been altered by too much fat, salt and sweetness if you eat junk and that they will adjust if given time. Honey is just as sweet and caloric as sugar. You can use moderate amounts of fruit to wean yourself off candy though.
Eating healthy is something you do for yourself and often it just takes maturity to choose the food that is good for you over and over until your tastebuds adjust.
