>TFW severe lower back pain especially on my left side
>TFW constantly hurts and just feels awful
>TFW worried I snapped my shit up by lifting boxes
>TFW getting worried now
>TFW going to see a doctor in a week if it doesn't get better and I'm really worried I herniated a disc or something and will never lift again, even though it doesn't hurt THAT much and I can still walk and do most things normally
Fuck guys, injuries are no joke
>tfw didn't fall for the deadlift and squat meme
>tfw injury free and very flexible
>>38536623
>TFW I never got injured from lifting only from sports or work
it had literally nothing to do with squats or deadlifts
>>38536614
why the hell is it the new trend, that tfw is that face and not that feel?
OP, if you're permanently injured, just do whatever you can safely still do once you're done with physical therapy and your doctor clears you, perhaps one day you will lift again but until then don't lose hope in yourself
What's /fit/'s thought on body hair?
Are there certain muscle/fat levels where it's better than others?
I think body hair, especially chest hair, is pretty attractive on men, so if you got it then rep it. But if if you only have a trail or some wispy hairs around your nipples and sternum, just wax it off. It's an all or nothing kind of thing.
As a hairy man, I can say that having lots of bodyhair is impractical as fuck. It collects so much moisture that drying yourself after a shower is a chore.
I also sweat about twice as much as the average joe for some strange fucking reason. About once a month I shave my back and trim my pubes, stomach, chest and pits just to make life a little bit easier.
>>38536602
only body hair you should ever trim is from the neck up and around your penis. everything else should be left natural from the day you first can grow some to your grave. it's not that just you avoid coming off like a faggot but it genuinely looks more attractive
/gym bully general/ /gbg/
I fucking hate it when skinny lanklets squatting the bar occupy my squat rack.
A few days ago I saw a kid who was obviously new and obviously on a shitty internet program like SL or SS struggling with shitty form and almost failing on the last rep of what was probably his first set, haha.
So I walk over to him and start putting on 45's on each side so I can warm up. He just stands there and looks at me while I walk over and start doing squats. He says, "Umm...e-excuse me..." so I go "Yeah?" "Um I actually wasn't done using that." I laugh in his face as I put on another set of 45s and keep squatting. I am 5'9" 185lb.
He shuffles his feet for a bit then leaves. Haven't seen him since, LOL.
DYELs. When will they learn?
>>38536495
> I am 5'9" 185lb.
you aren't a bully, you just have a napoleon complex.

Poisoned my neighboor's pitbull with a sausage filled with rat poison. Watched him barfing blood and grey stuff while smoking a good monte cristo. Tough motherfucker, he didn't even die and got up on his paws, had to strangle through the fence with a phone cable
He was an aggressive cunt, aways barking at people for no reason. Not that my poofta neighboor learned the lesson, now he's got a fucking dobermann.
Hey who gives a shit, another retarded dog, another poisoned sausage. This time i'm getting the dose right
>when will they learn
They will learn as soon as you teach them senpai, 2bqh
Or at least when you give them the fucking chance to let then learn this shit for themselves. Let the soreness do that for you.
Least you could do is tell him he's doing it wrong
First ever cut, should I fall for the Ephedrine meme?
It seems kind of pricy
$5 seems to only get you like 400mg. How effective is this shit and would it really make that much of a difference?
buy bronkaid instead. it won't make you lose more weight, it's just an appetite suppressant/stimulant.
>>38536382
What's the point if I can buy ephedrine legally in Canada
>>38536390
it's a lot cheaper than $5 for 400mg?

If you could go back in time and give the highschool you a quote for your yearbook, what would it be?
Less than 80 characters and /fit approved.

"Hit this, lift that." You know that scene in American beauty where he is in the garage smoking pot and lifting? Yeah well that lifestyle saved my life.
How do I get quality sleep, /fit/? Every morning I wake up, I want to kill myself. I try to get 7-8 hours of sleep but even when I get a full 8 (or more) I still feel like shit.
I took half a bar of Xanax once and I had the best sleep of my life. I woke up feeling refreshed and amazing. Is that what people normally feel like when they wake up or not?
If you fap to porn before bed quit doing that.
Improved my sleep quality immensely.
Xanax sleep is the best sleep
>>38536235
I'll have to try that. It sounds skeptical but I fap every single right before I fall asleep
So who here is a former wrastler Ive noticed that im so used to cutting to making weight for wrestling that when im doing a weightlifting cut ill under eat sometimes by accident. also general wrastle/lifting thread
>>38536189
He might former man drama lifter but Dwane Johnson workout plan is fucking insane. I need to get on gear.
anyone else have a problem over cutting? is that like anorexia or some shit?
I'm basically a fucking binge eater. I weigh 168 pounds, 6 feet tall, and wrestled at 145 last season. Might try 152, don't wanna look anorexic thin.
/fit/ has been deteriorating over the past few years and we all know it. An unacceptable proportion of posts on this board suggest a lack of fundamental fitness knowledge. Advice rooted in fact has given way to misc-tier broscience. "Eating fat makes you fat", "dietary cholesterol raises cholesterol", etc are commonly uttered in total disregard of the sticky and basic results of scientific research.
The board has also succumbed to r9k/redpill/sluthate-tier tendencies of surrendering to genetics. Yes, genetics play a role and the chad memes are great. But recently board culture has shifted to one of wallowing in self-pity, attributing failure to genetics and believing most goals are impossible. It is ironic that so many users of this board now point to genetics just like the Tumblr SJW fat acceptance movement does.
I long for the days of oldfag /fit/. Inspired by the recent project on /fa/, we must start a movement to make /fit/ great again. While it is true that CHAD eats PIZZA and manlets will never learn, it is more important to remember that we're all gonna make it. Zyzz be with us as we return to a state of knowledge and self-responsibility.
Important to discuss are the following:
(*) Ways to increase reading of the sticky - perhaps a refresh or update to generate interest? Creating a page that specifically intends to dispel common myths in a more direct format than the existing one?
(*) Generals - adding/removing/moderating
(*) Janning & modeation - what shit tier content should be removed on sight?
(*) And whatever else comes up in discussion
To arms, brothers!
holy fuck nigger you expect me to read all that shit
all boards on 4chan were better back in the day. its cycles nigger youll learn to get used to it.
the only thing i can say is a hope newfawgs read the sticky and follow rippletits instead of just look at thread
my advice: join a powerlifting gym. youll thank me later
unless your goal is to look like dogshit you need more test in your system than what your body can naturally produce sorry man don't know what to tell ya
>>38536091
If you wanna make fit great then you're gonna need to post higher test than that.
Is there a way to lose weight from my cheeks?
I can see my abs now and my face still looks the fucking same. I have a nice jawline but my cheeks look too full. I can't even smile because they look so retarded.
>inb4 "facial exercises", chewing gum and all that useless garbage
>inb4 no
>inb4 I kill myself
lose weight
kind of the same boat OP
not fat at all but kind of babyface syndrome, which sucks because my jawline is great, only shows when I suck in my cheeks a little

I drink a full 46oz of v8 fusion juice, and one quart of protein odwalla every day. And that's FUCKING it. Why haven't you cucklords adapted to the master plan yet.

The man deserves some respect
has anyone else completely given up on aesthetics and now just wants to look strong, even if it means getting a little fat?
I love KFC

Why do people do this to themselves?
>>38535673
muscle dysmorphia.
self-obsession to the highest degree.
they probably just needed a reason to refuse to go out and picked the one that would hurt less feelings

I don't have friends and trying to recover from alcoholism
What's the recovery process for a torn bicep like? I've seen tons of videos of people tearing their biceps but I've never heard anything about them otherwise. Any /fit/izens here that have torn a bicep before?
>>38535659
>What's the recovery process for a torn bicep like?
i had the endobutton procedure done (see picture) after a complete rupture of my distal tendon.
you do a lot of sitting around and doing nothing with your arm at a 90 degree angle for about two months, then just doing fuck all but a bit of light mobility work again for the next two months after that. you don't really need physical therapy (i didn't see a physical therapist and my surgeon said it was probably just a waste of money).
during month 3 and 4 i did a lot of very light suppinated dumbbell curls at home, and dumbbell pronations. i was told by my surgeon i'd be good at the 6 month mark to basically do whatever but it took at least a year after that until things felt fine, but i still deal with a bit of nerve pain and i'm left with partial numbness in my thumb and first finger, although i have full mobility.

What apps or methods does /fit/ use to track their lifts and progress?
>inb4 notebook
>>38535626
Excel
FitNotes is free and has no advertisements.
Also has charts, plate calculator, rest timer, etc.
I wish MFP let me track my poops.
