I worked my way up from 5 crunches a day to about 50 in 3 months.
My 6-pack is not popping yet. I can feel that it's there but it's just not visible. I eat about 2500 calories a day and only eat fast food 3 times a week.
What am I doing wrong here?
Double the calories and crunches
>>38642022
Forgot the activated almonds you plebe.
Can do as many crunches as you want, abs are made in the kitchen. So get your diet in check first

Hi /fit/ I'm new to working out and just read the sticky, Starting Strength seems like the program for me. But looking through posts on here I keep seeing people talking about the 'ss meme' and how people that follow it look like bloated babies. So is Starting Strength a good routine or not?
yeah, you don't want to do that shit. read this instead:
http://www.simplyshredded.com/mega-feature-layne-norton-training-series-full-powerhypertrophy-routine-updated-2011.html
It's good for strength not if you want to look like chad.
SS is a meme is a meme
SL is a better program for a casual newbie anyway. Rows are a less technical lift than cleans
Are swords still deadly to a modern swole /fit/izen?
>>38641816
>Swords made to cut meat
>Muscle is meat
>this thread is stupid
I dont think so. Back then everyone use to be skinny, but now we have gyms. We have more muscle, im pretty sure the muscle fibers or whatever their called would stop a sword before they can get to our organs
>>38641816
Probably more deadly, there's more to swing at and you'll probably bleed more from good circulation in muscles.
But if they have a sword then strength is only an advantage.
Social justice doesn't fucking exist. It's survival of the fittest and you are not it. The real world will eat you alive, dog eat dog and what's left is a feast for the rats.
>>38641665
True. But somehow i'm still here jokes on you OP
>>38641665
You are an idiot
Always. And don't ever forget it.
The most dopamine in your life will come from hyper-dominance. It's what you were born to do.
Cry about it on 4chan or become god, You've got a lifetime ahead of you and all of eternity to rest.
/fit/, for the love of shit, please stop posting manlet threads for a few moments and listen to me. I need your help. This is about to drive me mad and I am tired of living like this. If there is a medfag out there, please, please help me. If you aren't generally knowledgeable about gastrointestinal health issues you don't need to read all of this mess.
I have been lifting, and bulking, since two years. For over a year now, I have been having absurd bowel movements. The most annoying part of it is urgency. I literally can not hold my shit in for more than 40 minutes or so. Stress only makes everything worse; whenever I am in a situation I do not have access to a toilet, I feel the urge to poo. Stuck in the traffic? I feel my bowels start to work. In an exam? My bowels start to work. I might go hungry for a day, and yet, I somehow manage to produce poo if I am ever in a situation I can't use the toilet. Before you ask, no, I don't have anal sex.
This is not all of it, however. I fart all the time. I heard that a normal person farts like 15 times a day; I fart like 40 times. While a normal person shits once a day, I shit like 2 to 3 times; now of course this is expected since I am bulking, but still, the shits are not normal. I also have nasty shits. They are always loose and greasy, and when I look in the water, sometimes I can hardly see the shit because of how murky the water is. I rarely have dark brown shits anymore, they are all pale, the color of coffee with milk; at some point they often floated.
>>38641318
I find pieces of the foods I eat in them. I have a bidet attaced to my toilet and when I use it, the shit goes away without me needing to flush. Half the time I don't feel completely empty after I take a shit. I sometimes do feel abdominal pain, but more often I simply feel irritated. I can feel my bowels getting irritated. Sometimes I do have less loose shits, and when I leave them in the water for like 15 minutes, it seems to me that their color leeches out into the water, as if they are releasing some sort of an auburn dye; what is this, occult blood?
Bulking does make everything worse. Indeed, I do get better when I eat like a real human bean. But still, I never feel entirely normal. Overall my diet is pretty clean, with lots of vegetables and fruits; I always hit my fibre RDI. Fibre only seems to make everything worse. I also started having trouble gaining weight recently.
So, this is particularly worrying for me because my father had ulcerative colitis. Got his large instestines removed. We finally saw a doctor after I ended up shitting bright blood. A sigmoidoscopy was performed and they found no signs of any irritable bowel disease; turned out I have hemorrhoids. I do not recall shitting blood again, but everything else got worse overall, so I saw the doctor again. I stopped eating at a caloric excess a week or two before seeing her, and my symptoms ended up getting better, almost normal. They performed a CT scan on me, and found nothing wrong with my entire gastrointestinal tract. The moment I started bulking again, I started having the symptoms again. But now, I do not function normally even when I stop eating so much.
What the fuck is wrong with me? I would say IBS, but this doesn't sound like IBS either. If it is IBS, what the fuck do I do? I can't live like this. My whole life revolves around my ass now.
>>38641321
But I have a bigger fear. What if I actually do have an inflammatory bowel disease—particularly Crohn's—and it just happened to be in remission back when they performed the CT? Could it possibly have went unnoticed?
Is it possible to lift with IBS or IBD? Please respond. I want off of this ride. Please, I just want to shit like a normal person again.

> we were good friends but she was still a massive whore and has fucked 17 guys so far.
> she only sleeps with me right now and I've started to catch feelings. She wants to get wifed up and always says how she "regrets her past" which ik is bs
What do ? Stop seeing her and work on myself try to find other girls? Or just keep digging this myself deeper ?
Also power cleans or squats first
Slowly distance yourself from her
It'll be better in the long run
>>38640821
My only fear is that once she's gone it's back to the days of 0 female interaction. I really hate that
>>38640846
Well that might happen so you gotta weigh the pros and cons
I'd start looking owing for a new fwb asap though

>I have been taking bjj classes at a local gym. I've been volunteered to do a 30 minute self defense class because they found out I'm a brown belt in judo and not just a fast learner.

>By volunteered, I mean was told if I teach these classes I will get my bjj classes for free.
Wat do?
Just do it faggot
>>38640468
What are your qualifications? Who are you supposed to teach?
This sounds sketchy as fuck. Not the Judo cross training, but the self defense part. In Judo you barely qualify to teach once you're black and even then self-defense should be taught by someone who knows what they're talking about.
So either you're much better qualified than you lead on (then why would you ever want to ask this place for advice) or you're way in over your head. The latter also means your gym is probably shit, if they allow this to happen.
I found the Gracie 101 video very neat for some basics of self defense, namely the part about distance and controlling damage:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGO31XqkevM
Self defense is just about removing yourself from the situation and being faster than the other guy.
Its irresponsible to teach anything else
what-s the best routine for lanky skeletons who have been working out to no avail? linearprogression is impossible at this point.

Do you fail to put on any weight?
If yes then eat more.
Or do only gain fat and no muscle?
