What is the best pair of mens tights that don't completely show off your junk?
I want to wear tights to the gym, but I don't want a detailed outline of my dick to be visible to everyone.

Hi /fit/.
I just started to switch my training from hypertrophy to strength training and Im confused about a few things.
With lighter weights & high reps (3x12), I would get extremely tired after my workouts (resting time: 40secs). My muscles would turn a little numb and I would be breathing hard.
However, now that I do low reps (5x5), I don't nearly get as tired (resting time: 2mins).
This makes me feel like Im not putting in enough work into the workout. So, my first question is: is it normal to not feel tired right after a strength workout session?
Also, I am 95lbs and can do 95lbs squat and deadlift. Towards the end of my sets, I get scared that I might injure my back for lifting too heavy.
So, my second question is: at what point should I start wearing a belt?
Thank youu!

how tall are you? Seem like small person. Sounds like your burning up all your glycogen stores. Try adding more weight if you dont feel tired add a heavier load or accessory exercises for your main lifts that day

>There's simply no better way to increase your work capacity than increasing your ability to produce force. If your primary interest is being more effective at moving yourself and/or submaximal or maximal loads more efficiently, training for strength contributes much more to your goal than training for endurance.
>This is the most important thing to understand: strength is the most general of all athletic adaptations. All other physical capacities, such as power (a guy with a 400-pound deadlift cleans more than a guy with a 150-pound deadlift), even balance and coordination depend on the production of force within the physical environment. If strength improves, all other capacities improve with it, to varying degrees.
>For a person who's not strong, time spent getting stronger returns more improvement in all measures of physical capacity than time spent specifically developing any of the other derivative capacities that so many exercise programs consist of.
>This is especially significant when you consider that it just doesn't take very long to substantially increase your strength. Every athlete we've trained for strength who competes in a non-barbell sport reports that strength training has the biggest positive impact on their other abilities (which get trained in sports practice anyway).
>Strength is a very persistent adaptation that doesn't disappear after a layoff. Once a man gets strong, he's always stronger than he was before, even if he quits training, because the long-term adaptations have raised his baseline strength. Getting stronger is "expensive" to your body, and expensive things aren't usually disposed of quickly.
>A bunch of "cardio" or "met-con" absolutely guts your strength progress, while getting stronger improves your work capacity all by itself. There's time to do your conditioning work later – you're not going to die immediately, and if you do, nobody will talk about your shitty 5-mile time.

>a runner can't move bales of hay as quickly as I can so you should only do squat, deadlifts, and clean and press
Riveting essay, Rip.
>More importantly, it makes commonly encountered submaximal tasks much easier repetitively, and this is what we mean by "work capacity."
This is the only decent point he makes in that article. Lifting heavy weight for a few reps makes it easier to lift lower weight for more reps. You could try lifting that lower weight for more and more reps, which will help, but what really helps is increasing your maximum.
Still, doesn't mean that you should stop doing other exercises.

Who here lives with depression? Has getting /fit/ helped you get over it?
I'm at the point where I don't enjoy anything anymore, even if I try to force myself to enjoy things I just can't. I'm bored constantly, even when I'm busy I'm kind of bored. I'd kill myself but I have a son I have overnight every weekend and i don't want to let him down.
Wat do? Boxing isn't working for me anymore, it's been 7 years and I no longer enjoy it. I can't enjoy girls like I used to, I've not been laid in 9 months and I don't even feel like it. Last time I got sucked off i felt weird and ashamed after and the whole process felt like a nightmare.
What the fuck do I do /fit/? I don't want to go on medication like a faggot. I'm 27 and I've felt this way for a good 4 or 5 years now, but it's the worst it's ever been.
I've tried manning up and not being a pussy, but it's like trying to tell myself the red pen is blue. No matter how hard I try to convince myself it's blue, no matter how much I pretend I'm ok the truth is always there.

just go on medication, it really can make a huge difference. I've been lifting for 8 years and it does help a little bit but it won't completely change you, I went from a fatasfatass virgin to jacked with occasional sex and it made little to no difference in my depression. The best way to get rid of it naturally is to find a job you actually enjoy and a girl who actually loves you, which is fucking hard.

Op here
I've been boxing for the last 8 years, but I still don't really enjoy that either anymore. I've hit a point where I'm slacking with my training because I don't see the point anymore.
A few years ago I was happy chasing girls and drinking alcohol, I had an LSD trip and it revealed to me that chasing girls was just an endless cycle of disappointment. Since then I can't enjoy them.
I can't enjoy video games anymore, I used to like them but now I get bored. I try to force myself to get into them but they just don't keep me interested and within 30 minutes I gotta turn it off.
I'm really at a point where life just seems like constant struggle and I'd rather just hit the off switch because it'd be more peaceful. Maybe I should go and take a trip to the doctors if you're saying medication can help. I don't touch drugs or anything anymore out of fear of making myself worse.
