why the fuck are you still eating broccoli when sprouts are cheap and essentially free and not to mention more nutrient dense?
Tell me more.
Per serving broccoli is cheaper here
Its also more filling and tastes better imo

just spend 4 bucks on seeds and sprouting lid and grow them by your kitchen window/patio
unless you live in a basement and get moderate sunlight they should grow
Before: 6'0" 125 pounds
After: 6'1" 180 pounds
I think it's time for a cut

How long in between?
>>39224710
About 2 years with roughly 9 months with limited lifting for focus on sport of springboard diving and about 4 months of lack of motivation from depression.
>>39224762
2 years = 24 months - 9 months - 4 months = 11 months
Soooo what you're saying is that you actually lifted for 11 months? And NOT 2 years? Because if that's the case, and you had a break in between, then you barely gained any muscle. Sorry to break it to you.
I've been trying for weeks but it is true what they say, it is impossible to teach yourself power cleans.
Should I leave SS for SL or Greyskull?
its not hard. you just gotta EXPLODE up, you can't lift it slowly EXPLODE. Jump through the ceiling!
>>39224680
Just switch them out for chins
It's not impossible. It's dangerous.
You do light as fuck weight and film yourself from every possible view. You continue to do light, do cleans every other workout. Burn the feeling of that form in to your body before deciding to move up.
til;dr will getting aesthetic alleviate any of my social anxiety and depression?
Hey /fit/. Long time lurker across a few boards, never really posted much and first time here on fit.
I'm 20, barely do any physical activity but have the metabolism to support it. Did gymnastics for 6 years in high school and have been doing extreme metal vocals for 5 years so a fair bit of core body exercises and light cardio. Started doing light workouts like 30 rep crunches, squats, push ups etc whatever I can at home with no monetary investment (borderline poverty, Ausfag) relatively occasionally, I.E anywhere from twice a day to once every 3 days. Diet is substandard but that's attributed also to finances.
Moving to Melbourne soon and getting a good job along with, so I'll have money to put into a gym membership/dietary changes/supplements/etc. is it worth?

youre so pale!

be my bf please, ill take care of you and treat you like the princess you are x
Srsly though, lifting will give you confidence to some extent, which might help with anxiety, but its not a magic bullet. Some people find the routine and constant progression help with depression, but that isnr guaranteed. Still, if you havent got anything else on its worth a shot.
Lifting is cheap as shit, the only thing you really *need* is a gym membership. Supplements and aux equipment are optional extras, and the dietary changes will probably save you money if anything.
I did 2 scoops of a new preworkout and now my skin is tingling really bad what do
it's kickin in bro!
>>39224592
probably the beta alinine, it doesnt do anything bad it's just annoying
>>39224697
Makes my entire body tingle and itchy. I just wanna punch shit.
If you go deep enough, wouldn't the pressure resist your motion for increased gains? How deep would you need to be before the buoyancy stops helping you? pic related
The legend has it Zyzz is still alive and well, lifting in the depths of the Marianas Trench
>>39224513
>How deep would you need to be before the buoyancy stops helping you?
Buoyancy is not a function of depth, fampai
I mean, before you can just stand on the bottom without floating, or the water under the weights making it easier to lift.
Everyone knows that if you want juicy quads the leg press is the way to go.
Why are you still fucking around with the squat meme when squats aren't useful anywhere outside of specialized niches of the fitness industry?
Leg Press
>safer
>bigger muscles faster
>>39224488
because mark rippetoe says...
How else will I impress gay men if not for heavy lifts with a red face
>>39224488
you don't play a sport.
The leg press machine is the GOAT
Does /fit/ go ass to grass when squatting?
>>39224449
My plan is to squat atg once im flexible enough for my form not to break down (that fucking buttwink).
For now I squat slightly below parallel.
No because I don't have full ROM in my left ankle. Busted the fuck out of it as a kid. Bunch of titanium in that shit.
>>39224449
Absolutely.
I push babyweights, and I feel like going AtG with perfect form makes up for it kind of?
At least people will look at me and think 'well he's doing it right'
I just hit 34% bodyfat. Lost about 70 pounds. I know i should feel proud but i'm still fat and don't feel like i've accomplished anything.
Good job
Keep going
I feel the same way man. I've lost 90 pounds overall and went from obese to overweight to ALMOST normal BMI but I'm still a fat piece of shit in my mind. I'm still not comfortable taking off my shirt because instead of fat, now I have flappy loose stretch-mark covered skin. Maybe if I lose like 20 more pounds of fat I'll be happy with my body.
>>39224417
No, be proud. You're doing great. Keep it up.
I used to weigh probably 310lbs and now I'm 210lbs at about 15% bf. As a former fatty, be proud; it fuels the desire to get better.
Why is whey so expensive?
processing (lol byproduct)
marketing
"supplement" premium pricing
"muh certification" in an pretty much unregulated market
pic related
It's a niche supplement for specific use.
Also byproduct of cheese. Lots of cheese. Then they have to make it taste edible or tasteless.
That on top of marketing and again it being a supplement. Not a requirement to live, but a product only bought by people who are willing to shill out the extra buck.

first for I fucking hate myself
>>39224325
and why's that?
Married to a petite qt, don't want to get fat while she's carrying my child. Seems like it would be a shitty thing to do.
>go to gym
>see manlet
>workout ruined
>being able to see manlets
seems like you're still one yourself op
>>39224163
it was a home gym and a mirror wasnt it?
>>39224163
just avoid mirrors next time
Daily reminder that you'll never intercourse with a female no matter how much you lift.
>>39224003
ill never intercourse with a female even if i don't lift.
i literally had sex yesterday and im still dyel
>>39225062
Does your ass still hurt?
Is it more pathetic if a girl is too heavy to be picked up or if a guy is too weak to pick a girl up?
you are pathetic
They're both pathetic and you're pathetic for asking
>>39223961
It depends entriely on the weight of the girl. Normal girl(I'm not talking US size 16 "normal") but like sub-130lbs girl, it'd be the guy who's pathetic. 131-180, guy and probably girl who's pathetic. 181+, girl is pathetic.
