Hi /fit/
I'm 24, just hit 300 lbs, and I'm feeling pretty rock bottom right now.
I've been wanting to go join the gym near my house for a while now, but I need some specific direction on what to do once I'm actually there. I have no idea what I'm doing, and I don't have much free time during the week to waste if I'm not doing it correctly.
Can you point me towards a good routine for me to start doing? My only goal is weight loss.
Thanks
read the sticky. it is easy to understand and broken into sections regarding everything you need to get in shape. it's not hard to read. it's not too long. just click it.
Read the sticky.
Weight loss is 90% calorie restriction and 10% exercise(although there are many benefits to regular exercise)
Stronglifts is a program suggested in the sticky that I enjoyed when I started. Gives you the core lifts to work through.
Fix your diet first though. It's much more important for weight loss.
You should take a dedicated 1 hour walk every day. You can walk more if you feel like it. Walking is the most effective way to lose weight, the only downside is it's time consuming.
Is 6'1 x 6 inches good enough proportion famalam?
I'm 5'6" and have a 6.5" cock.
I think it doesn't even look big on me, so you must have a proportionately tiny dick.
I'm 5'7" with 6.7" dick.
I hope you better have the face mate.

How do you guys measure? From the bone?
Should I just join the military if I don't have enough education/experience to get a bigboy job?
Nah just learn a trade. Military is kind of like signing your life away.
The people I work with who are veterans have like 0 personality. They can only talk about their time in the military.
>TFW my gym has a lot of "big guys" but literally all of them are huge but with zero definition
Is this the same at your gym? here they're all 20-20%bf+
>>39100533
look at their routines, they probably do hyperthrophy with cables or some shit kek
my uni gym is filled with hypertrophy bros except for a handful of normal looking pure strength guys that outlift everyone
>>39100540
They're roiding desu
A lot shoulder press 90+ with dumbbells and just look really big but they need to cut which they refuse to do for some reason
I'm in high school and I've been lifting for q months.
Use to be really fat, did cut and lost 15kg, currently 70kg 180cm. Now on a lean bulk.
How do you get a square looking chest, my chest gap makes it seem like I have man tits when wearing shirts.
>>39100524

Does someone else want to red pill him or should I do the honors?
>>39100552

Calf raises, shrugs I guess?

Hey cuckolds. Post your favorite music to listen while lifting 500kg steel.

Neo-Pagan retards, Vikings were shit at warfare and got cucked by European armies many times.

What the hell has Nike done to my beloved Chuck's?
Also, gym kit general
>>39100282
If you bought Chuck II's then they installed Lunarlon cushioning. Congratulations: your shoes are now more comfortable but less suitable for lifting
>>39100332
They are normal Chuck's, but they don't feel quite right
I wish I didn't wear chucks in almost all four years high school.

I went to the barbers last week and they charged me for a child.
Their child prices end at 15....

how old/tall are you and how much do you lift
>>39100199
Grow facial hair.
I snapped my right middle back while I was doing lateral raises on friday
The pain is 30% of what it was on friday
How the fuck am I recovering so fast? I could barely twist my chest and arms 2 days ago but now it barely hurts at all and only when I do that
>>39100198
You're evolving.

Thank your body and next time be more careful
you may have only strained your back...i pulled a muscle in my glut and now whenever i do anything active like tennis or even bowling, if i dont warmup before starting, it comes back and i have to stop.. flexor muscles are bad for becoming chronic injuries..
How do I practice mindfulness all the time? I've read about it but just dont get it.
>>39100180
idk much about mindfulness but i know a lot about meditation.
mindfullness to me is just being in the present moment.
it takes practice and having it all the time is not good because you lose track of more abstract things.
what would you like to know?
>>39100214
Well I've read that it helps with anxiety and concentration so I really want to do it. Also do you have any idea about what type of meditation I should do to fall asleep easier? I've tried things like 4-7-8 method but they simply doesn't work.
>>39100241
forget methods and techniques.
focus on principles.
first step is to calm down. quietening the mind is the most difficult step for beginners.
sit somewhere quiet, with little noise, close your eyes and focus on your breathing. just breathe naturally, but consciously control it. thats all you need to do. concentrate on the breathing and nothing else, think of nothing else.
since breathing is automatic, once you stop thinking about it you still keep breathing. only then will your mind be truely blank.
but that is further down the line, focus on sitting there just thinking about breathing and nothing else for 5 minutes, slowly advancing to 15 or 30. there is no point going past 30 minutes.
if you can do this, then you can do it before sleeping every night to calm your mind down, and falling asleep would come naturally.
but this is nothing to do with mindfulness though, its only the precursor.
My face is so ugly. I will never be attractive. How should I end it?
>>39100172
become smart and capable.
>>39100183
I'm already 27.
>>39100193
i dont think it matters. do something you're passionate about, get better, get amazing. you will learn to see your own value. screw the face.
Is this achievable naturally? Or will I need a shit ton of gear?
>>39100071
If you dont want to win the Olympia look for another body goal
>>39100071
Holy shit! That dude is fucking shredded AF brah !! :O
>>39100071
the only gear you need for that is a daily dose of semen
So, everyone here wants to be strong, but how do you get FAST
While this may seem an ironic post I'm genuinely interested

anabolic steroids
Generally the same way you build strength. Usually strength and power (aka speed) go together. If you need to specfically build power, plyometrics is a good way to do it. Though plyo exercises tend to refer to jumping exercises, you can apply the principle to other exercises. A common exercise that is a plyo exercise is the clapping push up.
