Exogenous ketones, helpful for ketosis or BS?
I'm doing good on a ketogenic diet, lost about 20lbs so far. I have heard that exogenous ketones can help with getting into/staying in ketosis, but I've heard others say it is snake oil Dr. Oz shit. Anyone here have opinions on it?
>>38814020
Why would want ketosis in the first place? What could you possibly gain from a dangerously lowered blood pH normally associated with diabetes? Why do you want to risk damage to every component of your body that blood affects(all of it)
>>38814020
If you're dumb enough to be on a ketogenic diet without a compelling medical reason you deserve whatever snake oil they're selling to people like you these days.
Oh, and there is no evidence that they help humans with weight loss.

Avoid the snake oil.
Your body produces specific ketones from fat. Swallowing a pill isn't going to affect that at all. Save your money, Anon.

A ketogenic diet offers no benefit in terms of weight loss over a regular caloric deficit, but for people who struggle to otherwise eat at a caloric deficit it is useful.

Ketogenic diets in the short term aren't a big deal. No study has been done on long term effects though.
Is it possible to go to the gym 4-5 times a week, eat/drink no junk food, do at least 3 compounds per workout, and still look like absolute shit after a year? Assuming you're not fat of course.
Also what's your favorite muscle to look at? pic related.
Yes because quality > quantity. You can go to the gym every day but if you do a bunch of worthless exercises or extremely light compounds then you're just wasting your time. Hell, just look at what happened to Trucrypt if you need proof.

You can eat/drink no junk food and still have a shit diet.
So yes, you can still fuck up.

Hello guys. I've come to the terrible realization im just a loser. And I don't know how to fix myself.
>Im a kissless virgin at 22
>Watch cuckold porn unironically everyday
>Still live with my parents, simply because they feel bad so they don't kick me out
>Not good at a single thing in the world
>Have spent 5 hours average on 4chan per day for the last 3 years
>No friends
>Never had a gf
>Not even fit despite being on /fit/ for so long
How the fuck do i fix myself? Should I just completely change myself, do the opposite of what id normally do and never look back?
I know this is starting to look like a blogpost deserving to be on tumblr but I'm just losing hope. It was fun at first but now I'm realizing I'm becoming the person Ive never wanted to be.
>>Watch cuckold porn unironically everyday
Important
do you imagine yourself as the cuck or the bull

When did you realize that deadlifts do fuck all for hypertrophy?
>>38813770
sounds like someones got a weak deadlift
who the fuck deadlifts for hypertrophy?
deadlifts are one of the best exercises at making your whole body stronger and a stronger body = potential to be a bigger body
>>38813770
Literally the first time I learned what a deadlift was.
How retarded are you?

I'd give a fit chick the d ten times over vs any fat chick.
>>38813646
>3-4 times a week
Fucking casuals.
What the fuck is this shit. I ran like one fucking time to get some cardio THREE FUCKING MONTHS AGO
And my shins still hurt, they are tender to the touch (they hurt when I touch them). My dumbass cyropracter said I had flat feet but when I step in sand there is FUCKING ARCH. My knees point inward when I walk so I think this caused it, but how the fuck do I fix it.
I drink a shitton of milk and eat spinich and nothing has changed.
What is this bullshit?
you have shit shin genetics. Run on a treadmill from now on if you werent before
>>38813602
Become a powerlifter, aesthetic gains are not in your dna.
>>38813609
But the pain hasn't gone away… I use to run 400s and shit in HS with no fucking problem. Now my shins hurt at the 50 meter mark. But I only tried to run a small distance once and havn't ran since. Soooo they should have healed by now right?
Holy fucking shit.

Hey /fit/ ,is OCB's routine legit for intermediate lifters ?
>>38813422
Seems like he may have a bit of the 'ol gear going on but even if so that seems like a good routine for natural lifters as well.
>>38813422
abcxabc sounds like a bit too much but that's just a basic three day split senpai
>>38813422
OCB did not do this routine.
Why are you guys so obsessed with jawlines btw?
Picture is me, and I don't get why you guys are so pressed about some bone on your face. There really is no advantage.
Damn chiseled as fuck
People on /fit/ are insecure and want to look like male models or movie stars but don't realize those people are genetically gifted and are also stupidly obsessed with their appearances. Basically just a bunch of betas who probably wear makeup. I have a weak chin but my jaw is okay and it doesn't look like the lower half of my face is caved in so I don't care. I'm also between 15-19% bodyfat right now so once I cut it'll probably look a lot better, most of my fat is stored in my face.
>>38813465
All about luck
Jawlines don't grow period.
Fit thinks they can somehow make their bones grow.
Good night /fit/.

Trying to achieve mode in pic related.
The first pic is when I started at 160 I started with a sort of botched U/L routine 3-4 times a week. My most recent pic is a PPL 5 times a week. Extra leg day and alternating extra push/pull every week. No cardio. Trying to lean down ive been supplementing Push/Pull days with 20min of cardio after (running, elliptical, whatever) at a moderate pace. My P/P/L routine pretty much looks like this.
Push:
Bench 5x10
OHP 5x10
Then one each of a chest and shoulder accessory also at 5x10
Pull:
Row: 5 x 10
Dead: 5 x 10
Lat pulldown:5x10
Curls:5 x10
Legs:
Squat 5x10
Lunges 5x10
Hip thrusts 5 x 10
Hamstring curls on a machine 5x10
I used to supplement every workout with ab work but I think its making me too blocky so I'll probably stop.
Currently eating 1700 calories a day.

did she go from being hispanic, to a nig, to white?
I've been getting incredibly tired lately. I went from lifting 4 or 5 days a week and feeling fine to now lifting maybe 2 days a week and my sessions are even shorter. I doubt its depression as no other parts of my life are being effected besides energy levels.
Where do I go from here? Blood tests? Has anyone else gone through this?
22M, by the way. Diet largely the same maybe plus 600 calories a day
>overtraining

>overtraining
but i havent even been to the gym since last friday and have basically no desire to go because of lack of energy. I've done a couple home workouts and it sucked.
you think i should give it a rest completely for a bit?
Do you guys agree?

I'm talking about girls that are like 7/10+, but the vast majority of these girls are in STEM majors, so that could probably be why.
my other guess is that, they got no male attention during highschool, but then puberty happened, not allowing them ample time to get comfortable with male attention.
>>38812911
I knew your post was pretty bullshit from the start, but was certain when you said 7/10 girls in STEM
in my 4 years of college, I never saw a single girl above the introductory level courses above a 4/10 in STEM
go role play on r9k or some shit you faggot, stop shitting up this board. I want you to post your body in the next 1 hour with a time stamp for proof that you are being real.
STEM girls are whores, don't get your hopes up.
>stem
>7/10+
yeah, like every other dude that inflates girls who he thinks is hot
im gonna say 5/10 max
