How will you feel when, after all the hard work and years of dedication you put into cultivating your perfect body, scientists come up with a pill that safely builds muscle at an incredibly fast rate with no harmful side effects, making all your time at the gym effectively a waste?
>>39247804
theres no genetic free lunch
I refuse to be angry at the generations that follow me for having easier, richer, better lives than I had. That's what's SUPPOSED to happen.
>>39247804
Well, good?
I mean good for them. I'll participate too.
More time for other activities, overall a more healthy world.
What the fucks wrong with that you bitter sadcunt.
Protein question:
Fell for the bulkin meme. Put on a lot of strength but got too fat (260 lbs, thankfully I'm 6'4" and look fairly good with a shirt on - also new medication made my appetite skyrocket). Obviously must lose a lot of fat and maintain as many gains as possible.
So most sources (including the one in the STICKY WHICH I READ) seem to suggest 1.5 g protons/lb body weight. 390 grams of protein? Really?
Other sources say eat your target weight in protons (I want to get down to 225, so 225 grams). And some article cites studies that say .82 g/lb is the upper limit of "usable protein".
what the fuck, /fit?

Nutrition for dummies:
0) Systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other. Also, calories in = calories out for weight, but healthiness may vary.
1) Eat your veggies. Subtract those calories.
2) Eat 0.5-1 g/lb protein. Sources vary. Go work out. If you're not gaining muscle, up your protein. If you are, feel free to cut back a bit if the farts are getting to you.
3) Fill up the rest of your calorie budget. Try not to make it all twinkies.
If you're losing weight, take calories out of (3) first. If you're gaining weight, add calories into (1) and (2) first.
>>39247592
So, follow-up, yeah, nutrition has some really simple rules and is simultaneously still confusing. Sorry about that.
>>39247638
>>39247644
thank you for not just screaming CALORIES IN CALORIES OUT FATTY.
So to clarify, you are saying actually COUNT my veggies (I just skip them in my myfitness log), max 1 g protons/lb of bodyweight and then just eat sensibly to hit the rest of my macros?
that sounds almost...
>too easy
>That feel when low testosterone but too scared to use UGL steroids from the internet but also not low enough to get TRT
>>39247517
Test isn't low until you qualify for TRT.
Anything else is just you trying to justify unhappiness as a condition rather than work in core issues.
>>39247572
"Acceptable" levels is not the same as healthy, optimal levels.
The acceptable levels factor in age ranges all the way to 60s.
Not sure why this is alowed, other than the "its cheating!" boogeyman. Any other factor in health is measured by peer age groups, and treated accordingly.
Are people who take medication for blood pressure l, diabetes or cholesterol cheating? What about women who take birth control, or estrogen after menopause? Hey, maybe they should just accept their afflictions the way they are, and work with what they've got! No excuses! ;^)
>>39247517
As much as you are a phaggot. It is generally accepted that to feel great therapeutically you should have test levels of >800 plus.
You can buy pharma grade through the Internet (probably even more chance it's fake though).
Dr. Fit wtf is wrong with my lower back? When I sit it has that weird looking curve unless I really stress pushing it in, and in this video you can see it looks weird as fuck.
I have back issues but the doctor said it didn't look wrong but idk if she was just trying to speed it up or didn't see it well enough.
I did get an mri and they told me I have Degenerative disc disease but is this part of it? Or is it my posture?

Death is imminent
Also I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow to see what to do about the DDD

Explain to me why you guys don't work as a cook/wage slave with a bunch of cute waitresses?
>>39247300
Because trying to make a living based on the generosity of others is retarded
Nice dubs
I do. i work at a place with about 90 employees. You literally have to be hopeless to not get laid
>>39247312
Cooks dont get tips
I work as a cook, yah, lots of "cute" waitresses who make more money than I do and are dumb as fuck. I'm not happy to bust my ass every day for min wage.
Just gonna save and go to school to become an electrician and make 60k a years starting salary
why isn't this guy the king of /fit/?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWdwM9Npg68
>>39247206
because he doesn't post on fit
because /fit/ is still in the phase of lifting for girls rather than lifting for themselves
>>39247206
he's a fucking MEMEEEEE
why is his body so weird
why do his shoulders and arms look so bizarre
>Every US star with muscles has an umbilical hernia
JUST
Why does it seem like the average /fit/ poster, while on average between only 17-19 years old, has 3, 4, even 5 times the number of sexual partners a regular guy has in his entire life?
Is this place really this full of chads?
People on the internet lie.
>>39247067
This place is full of liars and e-statters. The chad population of 4chan is disproportionately low, to the point of being nonexistent.
>>39247067
Firstly, the internet age is quite different.
You can sleep with a lot of different women now thanks to shit like Tinder. Third wave feminism has also made women openly sluttier.
This is why I lift.
>>39246972
This is why I lift
>>39248392
i dont think shes trans

>literally can't stop smoking
OH I FEEL IT COMING BACK AGAIN
Lol why don't you just stop smoking?
Literally nigga just stop lighting them on fire and putting them in your mouth hahaha
such are degenerates degeneracy degenerating degenerecys
>think of the kids your polluting selfish cuck
I'm a degenerate who faps to traps and once stuck a hairbrush in my butt but I'm proud of the fact I've never been a smoker.
is 5"7 good enough or it's at the level where girls feel sorry for you?
>girls feeling anything toward me
>>39246888
If you live in south america; that's average height an can get pussy.
If you live in south asia you're basically a Chad
>>39246888
That's more on the shorter side. Most would still consider 5'7" a manlet, but I doubt girls would feel sorry for you.
All your gains will be lost in time, like tears...in rain.
The only eternal gain is reproducing and creating a lineage of descendants. Only then shall your gains live on forever through your genes.
nah these gains says fuck it, evolution was a mistake, dis DNA dies with me
yes but women are unbearable
>>39246875
So buy a bear then, what's the problem?
I lack discipline
I'm a computer addict who faps to porn multiple times a week and compulsively plays vidya, even if I don't like the game. I get nervous and afraid if I don't have my computer or phone with me, because that means I'd have to start doing my college homework and studying. I procrastinate all day and don't work out. I'm anxious about falling behind in school, but I keep procrastinating to escape that feeling. It's like a fat person eating to relieve their fat stress.
You guys seem to have more drive and discipline than some other boards. Any advice you can give to help put me on the right track? I used to run daily and my life was great but I'm so lazy and complacent now.
>>39246798
sell your soul to satan for black magic, it's the only way to do it
Everyone is self made.
We live the life created by the choices we've made.
Picture the person you wish you could be, and then become them. Not all at once, but little by little, every day.
It's the every day part that you will struggle with. To improve yourself, you can't do 30 days, or 90 days, or a year. For the rest of your life, you have to dedicate yourself to your goal.
Is your goal to be a potential college dropout neet who plays computer games they don't enjoy, or is your goal to be someone that you can respect?
>>39246798
Throw away all gaming consoles, or sell them. Delete Steam, eat healthy.Focus on what you need to do to fix you life, rather than what you don't need to do.
You don't just look at a staircase and try to jump up the whole thing, you take the first step, then take the next step, then the next.... Set some healthy and achievable goals.
Secretly losing all control to porn, addiction turning worse and less workout. Why I'm so weak /fit/?
Embrace the filth. Revel in the garbage heap you find yourself in. Race through it until you find yourself at the very bottom, where you'll one day realize that the esoteric fetishes you've come to depend upon for titillation fail to excite you even a smidgen.
Then, from the depths of depraved despair, you will find freedom.
Ugly, painful, empty freedom.
destiny waits for no man get swole for the upcoming race battle or whisper away like a frail dog

dont do this
what are the best exercises for finger gains?
Your fingers don't make gains. Train your forearms
>>39246745
there aren't very many muscles in your fingers that you can train
finger in asshole 4 x 50
