why do people even pay for expensive ass fitness equipment when you can make your own dumbbell and weights with cement for almost free?
bump
Cause u can't drop them you fucking fag

People don't want their ghetto shit breaking and falling on their face
Is it just a few people including me, or do guys with a higher bf% (no more than 15%) like pic related look the best?
I mean, lean like zyzz is cool if you want to go for that look, but husbando mode is the most maintainable/natural to me.
What do women think about this look?
Women either want a somewhat toned skinnyfat, or an athletic look like young Zyzz.
Your pic is perfect for gay ppl, srs.
Mostly bottom homosexuals like that look. I've actually asked several women about that kind of body and they actually think those guys are just fat, most specifically "kinda muscly but fat", they don't really seem to care about it and are in the same category as average skinnyfats in term of attractiveness
Beefy look is best look
How does this make you feel, /fit/?

Surprised she can eat so much taking such tiny bites
How does it make you feel OP?

So, how big a shit did she take after?

wish I could video edit that well
Why is it more impressive squatting 3xBW when you are heavier? pic related. How did Wilks come up with his coefficients? Wouldn't it be harder to lift more at a lighter bodyweight because you're asymptotically nearing being just the mass of your skeleton/organs/things that don't exert force?
>>38524949
Just look at the actual numbers dude.
Heavy lifters squat less relative bodyweight than light lifters.
I've strained my lower back and squatting is really uncomfortable. How do I rehab it?

So Im 34, in between jobs, 600 pounds. Ive basically decided either to lose weight or kill myself. So whats best for someone as massive as me?
reading the fucking sticky
>>38520814
Write down everything that you are eating and drinking and start from there
Kys. 600 lbs is too much you'll never make it. 300 is the cut off to having a chance of making it.
Progress Thread?

I sort of feel like I've been standing still even though I've gained muscle mass since July.
>>38515927
Why did your muscle mass go down so much while your fat decreased? What am I missing here?
>>38516317
My weight loss probably wasn't healthy.
I ate at 1200 - 1500 calories as well as working out, which could be upwards to 2 hours at the gym, 1 hour cardio, 1 hour weights.
>>38516330
I guess I'm just confused as to why it's saying you had so much muscle mass to begin with when you were just overweight.
Either way good work mang, keep up the progress. We all stall at some point, just gotta keep it up.
I really need a new progress pic.
Why is it mostly considered wrong to lift weights and exercise just to attract/hook up with women ?
I know people that lift for the sole person of attracting girls and they look DYEL and have looked the same for the past 3-4 years.
Wrong is a bad selection of words.
It's more vain.
It's lifting for the approval of others, generally
It's also putting pussy on a pedestal
Because you still have to have game. A nice body will only get you queers trying to bum you all the time.

How do so many of the people who post here have a low enough bf% to where they can see their abs and have such good definition on their core? I've been eating 700 calories below maintenance for the past month, have been taking a fat burner before each workout, and have only lost 1-2 pounds in the last month.
All of my fat stores in my stomach though, so even though I look good with a shirt on, I still have a small gut despite having a healthy diet.
What's the secret?
>>38522471
Keep dieting.
Cutting needs 4-8 months minimum.
>>38522471
remember that youre only seeing the people who actually post themselves, which is like 3% of the browsing population
>>38522471
>I've been eating 700 calories below maintenance for the past month
700 calories a day should lead to ~6lb weight loss in one month. If you lost 1-2lb, you are NOT eating at a 700 calorie deficit. Fix your diet.
>have been taking a fat burner before each workout
Is it legal? If yes, it doesn't work. Also, stop looking for a crutch. Fix your diet.
>All of my fat stores in my stomach though
Alpha-2 dominant fat stores, last to go and notoriously stubborn, you just need to lose more weight. Fix your diet
What the fuck is wrong with women

Can that chick even bench that?
>plot twist
>its OPs working weight
>>38522191
How long was she there? She could just be resting, that's 55lbs, and shes twigmode
>>38522227
She was there with her boyfriend, and he left her on that bench presumably to lift while he went and did overhead press and she just sat there and looked at the weights for 15 minutes until he came back
Reasons why you want to get fit that aren't related to getting girls, "being healthy" or general wanting to look good (you can choose this, but be oddly specific)
>It looks mad comfy
>Pic related. She looks mad comfy and she looks mad comfy.

Feels good mane, it sucked being chubby.
I don't want to hate myself
several:
>structures your week
>progressing is fun, lifting is a hobby
>makes me feel good about myself
1) Length of time weightlifting
2) Your maxes on Squat, Deadlifts, and Bench Press
1) 2 months-ish
2)
Squat: 225 lbs
Deadlifts: 185 lbs
Bench: 115 lbs
You been lifting for 2 months you ain't of liberty to even post on /fit/ let alone start one of these threads you dumb negro
Without height/bodyweight this is just dumb.

How many people here were unathletic as an youth. What do you think the reason was?
me
the reason was I didn't enjoy/do any sports.
Lived in a rural area five miles away from my closest friend.
I had to wait until I learned to drive to go to friend's houses.
vidya games
what are you guys wearing to the gym?
