How bad is sodium really?
If I'm hitting all my macros but have a shitton of sodium in the process, will it really be all that detrimental?
>>39115173
If you care about bloating or puffy face
>>39115173
the only people that need to worry about sodium intake are those that are sensitive to it.
the "high sodium diet is bad for you" meme is indeed a meme.
same with the "MSG is bad for you" meme.
>>39115173
It's like any other essential micronutrient, it can fuck your shit up in way too high doses. But most likely, your body is able to excrete it when it's too abundant. Sodium bloating and water retention is real though, so I'd recommend cutting back on it during a cut.
>that kid that walks around, stares at the straight bar rack, does 1 set of curls and leaves the gym
I've been seeing this shit a lot more often lately
should I say something, I don't want their membership to go to waste
>>39114981
Na, the gym makes money off of these fucks
>see group of teenagers
>they do the same shit every day
>do 1xinfinity curls
>max bench
>talk shit on eachother's pull up game
>have pull up competition
>each does about 7
>leave
Fuck my ass at least they dont use the power cage for the pull ups
Literally me because I can never find a spotter for the bench
I have a shitload of pre-made routines i have scribbled and printed on paper,i keep them in my car for just such occasions
Most of the people i gave them to gave me a weirded out look but alot of them thanked me after a couple weeks,but others never came back.
Sounds autistic because it is
Neet with too much time
I'm like the gym's unnofficial trainer,I give advice,spot and train with whoever wants it.
The actual pt staff hates me for it.
As there any negatives to drinking soy milk? My uni cafeteria has unlimited soy, almond, and rice milk.

You are mixing two things that individually are bad for your test levels
I cant see how it can be anything but bad
>>39114951

Can't lift 2-3months bc of injury
Wat do?
>>39114942
C&B test without lifting, you'll have the same results.

>>39114942
Hmm, perhaps you could try not lifting for 2-3 months?
Seriously though 2-3 months is not that bad at all if you've been lifting for at least 2 years consistently.
I had a surgery and had to take 3 months off and i don't think i lost any strength. I actually felt a bit stronger since i might've been over training.
The best thing you can do is to adjust your diet so you won't gain unnecessary fat. Also don't eat too little because then you'll lose muscle.
What is your sleeping schedule? Do you sleep early for gains? I always sleep around 22 to 23h. And I wake up at 6:15. Do I need more sleep?
>>39114929
>I always sleep around 22 to 23h.
Can't even sleep for 24 hours, never gonna make it.
>>39114929
On a work night I get normally about 6 hours sleep, none work about 8 hours.

Okay guys I need some advice. I'm not quite sure what's going on because I've created quite a calorie deficit but I actually am putting on weight - not losing it.
I weigh 210 lbs and am about 13-14% body fat. I lead a moderately active lifestyle but make sure to go to the gym every day and only consume healthy calories - about 1800 a day on average. Yet at my weigh in this week, without any real reason, I weigh 5 lbs more!
Any advice on how to better cut the fat?
Sucks bro
>>39114842
You're not 14%
>>39114889
Unless every measurement I take is wrong (doubtful), it can't be far off from that.
Nonetheless, at an active lifestyle and only healthy calories of 1800 or less a day, it doesn't make sense to put on weight
>Hey, idiot. Bring me some donuts and Dr. Pepper when you come back. Are you even lifting by the way? I'm not seeing any progress after all this time. You sure you aren't just gay and like to watch half naked men?
>>39114802
listen here idiot, I drink dr.pepper because it has 23 flavours and I'm bulking. How about you take your grapes and cheese slices to the curb because I got bigger fish to fry and my tinder is lit bae
Yes I'm lifting. But not for you though.
>>39114824
>lifting for Rei but not Misato
Whats his end game /fit/?
Getting the succ
if you want to sell pussy
>>39114661
not getting cancer like his nemesis
15 mins stairs
deadlifts 120lbs 5x5
barbell squats (the ones with bar on back area) just bar weight 5x5
hip thrusts 60lbs 3x12
this was our starting weight and routine, and we're hitting the gym 6 days a week. today was rest day and the first few days before doing this we did random stuff kinda cluelessly. questions:
when should we start upping the weight?
are there other exercises we should be doing? should we be doing this all 6 days?
is it safe to lift when stoned out of your mind (vegan edibles)?
are squats supposed to make your neck and back sore? that bar is painful
do buff gym guys like flexible skinny vegan girls with penises?
i desperately need an ass.
you desperately need to kill yourself
We need to see your feminine benis before we can suggest a proper routine.

i linked a nude off-site "before" pic a couple days ago but not gonna do it again. this is a sfw board. if you're that interested check archives.
Do you have a gym bae?
>>39114572
yes.
spoke four words to her. don't know her name. pretty good so far.
>>39114572
Ofc i have a gym and dont call me bae
>>39114572
yes but she just doesn't know it... or exist.
What do you listen to when you work out?
For some reason I have this curse in which I cannot listen to anything other that Fall out Boy (their old stuff)
Here's on of my favorites

If you listen to any music similar to this please suggest, I'm currently trying to expand my workout playlists

not the biggest fan of screamo,
my friends are into it, is it like an acquired taste?
>>39114599
Listen to it all the way through. That's just the intro.
Will becoming fit stop me from having the "virgin walk"? The way guys walk that tell everyone around them that they are a virgin?
Or will fitness not help that?
>tfw virgin walk everywhere but the gym
>>39114523
>that guy who virgin squats
Yes, we see it
>>39114523
Pretty sure fucking a woman (or man) would fix that you retard.
>tfw you get fit but only fatties want to fuck you.
>>39114186
are you me?
Fatties are far more likely to initiate contact, they have to make up for being fat.
Average/attractive girls don't have to initiate contact so they won't.
>>39114186
Id advise everyone to fuck a fatty, just once. Make sure she has a nice face though. It really motivates you to stay lean as you see the fat roles sliding around. They also can be pretty dirty and they'll happily play with your cock for ages
>shy as fuck
>get a gym membership
>too many stares but manage my machine workouts anyway
>do that for 3 months
>decide that I need to start lifting
>get super self aware and think that everyone is staring my done, judging me and laughing about me
>quit my first set, get up and leave
>haven't been to the gym ever since
>it's been 2 months
Help me, bros.
I think that my form is shit, I don't lift enough and everyone will stare me down. My gym is really small, so equipment is rare and everyone seens the rest of the guys working out.
only one way to fight through this
work out wearing a banana suit and that will distract them away from the barbell you're using
>>39114039
Pull your head out of your ass numbnuts, nobody cares about your dyel numbers.
Yes they are judging you and laughing at you
Help me /fit/
I've been going to the gym for just over 2 months now and I've only ever done 4 exercises.
My workout is every other day
>5x5 bench press
>5x5 ohp
>5x5 back squat
>5x5 deadlift
I try to increase the weight each time and I'm getting bigger, but I only go 3 times a week and this is literally all I do.
What can I do to bump it up to 4-5 times a week? Whats a good beginner push/pull or split workout?
>pic unrelated
>>39114037
What about ur back tho?
>>39114037
if you're still progressing decently there is no need to change, you should also be doing pull ups and dips btw
>5x5 deadlift
>3 times a week
wew
