Alright /fit/, how much could you lift when you first started?
I'm 6'4" 230 pounds, just started lifting this week and I can only bench 90 lbs. Do I have muscular dystrophy or something? Pic related, it's me

>Do I have muscular dystrophy or something?
No it just seems like you've never done a specific exercise before and you are new to the movement and activating your muscle fibers to press up a weight.
>>38509783
I started off benching 4pl8 so I'm not sure how you could possibly start at 90 lmao
>>38509794
SO how quickly should I expect to progress? Because I go to a gym in a college town where 90% of the dudes there are lifting fucking vending machines so I feel like a faget lifting 90 lbs
-how old is fit/?
-for how long you are lifting/or did you lift ? -giving off because of injuries or vacations is irrelevant-

You mad, /fit/? xD

I've seen people talk about how good eggs are if you're trying to get good protein in and some people say to eat like 4 hard boiled eggs a day. But if I eat 2 servings of pic related each day will this be good enough? I hate hard boiled eggs
>>38509667
Scrambled is fine. The reason why hard boiled is popular is because it's super easy to make them in giant batches, they keep well in the fridge, and people tend to put less salt on them than say... scrambled.
Proton-wise it makes no difference.
scrambled is fine, 4 scram = 4 hard boiled nutritionally
Yes. Eggs are eggs, bro. just fucking eat eggs
Are there people who born with natural aesthetic bodies with literally no need of exercise?
Maybe if you have a myostatin deficiency

OK so here's the deal. I'm 23 years old, 120 pounds and I'm 5'8. I'm trying to put on weight, but I'm fucking poor so I can't really buy good stuff like steak. I'm starting at the gym next month, my friends are bodybuilders and they said they would train me, but obviously I need to buy my food on my own. What can I do to gain weight? I'm going to buy ensure + and a protein powder to supplement my diet as well. Any tips guys?
G..guys..?
>>38509221
Make more money retard.
>>38509402
I can't I'm on probation for 2 years so I have to ride it out that's why I'm gonna start lifting, to pass the time and get fit. Already lost my gf and I don't want to get another chick for a while
Stop counting calories you idiots, it's been proven that CICO isn't how it works. Read and weep you fools who intentionally starved yourself.

How is it possible to put on muscle without steroids? I've been lifting for 6 months and look worse than I started. Ive been drinking a gallon of almond milk a day(because vegan) and I still have yet to look good. Im thinking about hoping on gear very soon...

Yes it's possible, but you don't have to get fat as shit to do it.
The only people that can get away with the ridiculous go mad diet are teenage boys because they have high metabolism and shitloads of natural test.
Anyone else will just get fat and sick.
You only need to eat at maintenance plus 500 more calories to put on mass.
Secondly, it takes two years of dedicated full body work to see real changes. Lifting heavy and lifting like a bodybuilder combined as well as clean living getting good sleep and plenty of sunshine.
You can't bully your body into putting on mass as a natural. That shit is for people on life shortening amounts of gear.
Pushing yourself, going to the gym regularly and ensuring you're having enough protein and carbs to build the muscle
>>38508997
>2 years to see results
Why should I even bother?
I have 1600 calories left for the day. What should I eat?
>>38508924

What's the best out of those 2 breakfast?
Is tuna better than eggs?
>>38508657
a tunas eggs are better than both
tuna has more protein and less cholesterol, but it also has more mercury
eggs are a lot cheaper
>>38508657
if you can't even read a nutrition label, why would you be able to read a reasonable answer?

Why isn't this in the sticky?
http://www.rohitnair.net/pp/
Even if just for the kyphosis/atp stuff, it's GOAT, but it also has a ton of non-SS routines which would help people that either didn't fall for the meme or have moved beyond a linear 5x5 program
I seem to recall more of a general desire for the sticky to be updated a couple years ago than there is now, but then I don't lurk as regularly as I once did
SS is not meme.
