>tfw you don't enjoy lifting anymore
Discipline is the only reason I go anymore, when I am at the gym I can't wait to finish up and leave, it's just so boring to me now.
Does anyone else know these feels?
If you're already strong start doing more isolation high volume stuff
Change your routine, try something new, switch modes or something.
>>37998771
>Suggesting high volume isolation to someone who is bored with lifting
Are you trying to make him quit? isolation exercises are boring as FUCK.
OP is probably on a bro-split already doing that, hence why he is bored.
Stupid amounts of redundant boring exercises.
You wont get bored if you follow a proper routine and just focus on the main lifts. Stop with your fuckarounditis on the isolations.
THIS GOES FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST NOOBIES.
I want to fucking destroy the misconception on /fit/ that full body compound movements are only for novices. THEYRE FOR FUCKING EVERYONE. Even if you're at an ELITE level, your focus should always be 100% around full body.
>lifting weights is such a waste of time for vain people with no lives
>i'd rather just not worry about how i look, eat whatever i want, and actually enjoy life
>hey, want some cheap junk food, HFCS and to watch television for the next 5 hours?
actually being fat and lazy is good strategy to end your misery earlier than the others
>you spend almost 10 hours a week working out?
>think of all the better things you could be doing with that time, like learning a second language, studying a course, playing an instrument
>me? no i don't do any of those things, i don't have time. I just got off work now i have to meet my friends at the bar for a few hours, then the game is on tonight, not sure who is playing but it's gonna be a great game, i think it's NBA, or is it NHL? Gotta get to bed after that so i can go out for breakfast tomorrow before work and read the paper for a few hours, my daily morning routine!
>You know Anon, when you get old, all that muscle will turn to FAT!
gymnastics rings. Good to bulk/cut?
>is working out good to bulk or cut?
I can't imagine they're all that nutritious.
>>37998700
Fuck off retard.
What's your weight, height and how many calories do you cut on?
97kg, 178cm, 2300kcal, loosing 3kg per month
>mfw
5'7, 163lbs, shredded.
Years lifting: 4+
Calories: 2400<
Protein: 150g+
Lift: 3 days per week ( Full-Body )
Cardio: 7 days per week ( 30minutes per day )
I don't track anything on bulks, but I get up to about 185lbs on bulks.
To cut back down to 163lbs shredded, I limit my calories to a range of 2000-2400. Staying with the 2000 to 2400 range eventually gets me back down to 163lbs in a shredded state. (2400 calories = 163lbs maintenance for me)
>>37998687

3 years liftin properly
1800-2000
OK guys, I have a fucking problem.
I'm a 23 year old male, 185cm (6'1") and only 57kg (125 lbs)
I've been to several doctors. my thyroid levels are normal and I no specific illnesses, yet i don't seem to be able to put on weight!
Should I go to the gym? how and what should I eat? and how do I increase my appetite?
This shit is affecting my life more than you can imagine. I look hideous! I can never even get half naked around someone since I'm too embarrassed of how I look.
Any advice would be appreciated.
>>37998519
Eat more food. You are not special. If you eat more food(energy) than your body can exert you will gain weight, like every other human being on the planet.
do you have a mental condition? which could explain your behavior. how is your relationship towards food?
anyways, I'd suggest doing small progressions in your daily kcal intake. for example start with adding a small meal and drink a few extra glasses of milk for a week. start somewhere. then the next week, start increasing the sizes of your regular meals by some amount while maybe adding another daily snack with say nuts (or pnb, or w/e) or something high in calories. keep progressing until you find that you're adding maybe 3-4 kilos a month? you're tall.
I wouldnt suggest going balls out exercise wise because you'd only lose even more weight, but do some light bodyweight shit such as some core calisthenics workout 3 times a week to get your foundation (core strength) up
keep this up til you're 70 kgs and then start thinking about next step training wise
>>37998533
I get aggressive alot, but it can be an effect of being underweight.
I've tried adding small meals like a banana and stuff like that to my diet, but i never noticed much of a difference.
What jobs do you all have? Any that keep you fit? I'm at a desk job and wanna know some things I can do to keep active at the office, or if I can switch to a more hands on job.
>>37998441
I am a student double majoring in econ and history, I work as a bartender on the side, so no it doesn't keep me fit.
Construction as a summer time job
Been making all kinds of gains recently, just have to eat constantly

>I'm only getting fatter though
What do I do. She's got an amazing body with an amazing ass and about a 7-8/10 face, but she's making me fat and only wants me to get fatter. What do I do. I love her but it's evident that I'm getting unhealthy and even though I love her I'm just not sure about the new direction she's setting me in.
If she really loves you she'll love the fact you're bettering yourself. Otherwise you're shitting on your health and potential for someones fat fetish.
>>37998010
Don't abandon your body for a girl you fucking beta, it doesn't matter if you think she is the girl of your dreams, just don't.
Also, her chubby fetish is probably temporary. Eventually she'll get bored of it and she'll dump your ass.
The most important thing in life is how you feel with yourself, so being /fit/ is more important that satisfying the weird fetishes of your gf
>>37998010
Bulk, mother fucker. Get on CLP and lift heavy ass fucking weight - become the bear your future wife wants you to be.
And get your cardio game on. Basically do whatever you can to increase your TDEE - put that grub toward good gains.

If I were to wear weighted clothing everyday, would I get stronger like in my Animes?
>>37997802
I was wondering about this as well. I have a fight coming up and in the middle of the fight I want to take off my weighted clothes and beat his ass
>what is google
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_clothing
No, once you take it off it throws off the body, which is used to being at the added weight. As a result, it slows your metabolism and increases your appetite in order to put on the equivalent weight, completely de-toning you.
Are they any weird people or interesting experiences you've had at your gym
This happened at my old gym, I moved to a new one a while ago.
There was this guy, absolute skinniest skeleton I've ever seen. Was about 6' but must have weighed like 130lbs.
He always did the most retarded exercises. Some bullybois actually secretly recorded him and posted them in facebook groups.
For example. pic related. He loaded 12 plate onto a dip machine. Literally just moved his shoulders up and down to simulate movement, the machine didn't move an inch. Did same thing with shrugs. Loaded a barbell on the rack pins with like 6pl8 a side, then proceeded to shrugs his body up and down without the weight actually moving.
Then there is this. The pinnacle of his wtf.

Max weight on the pulldown weight stack. Having his son deadlift the stack, (almost getting his foot crushed under it) and some other guy helping pull the handle down also.
Strange guy.
>>37997800
He was probably really into lifting before he got cancer and became a skelly at the hands of chemo. Now his sons help him relive the past.
>>37997867
Someone actually asked him if he was ill with cancer.
Apparently not. He's just a fuckin anomoly.
does anyone else feel this one?'
anyone been lifting for 2 years or more and still look shittier and weaker than people on here who have been lifting less than a year?
what did you do to break out of it?
Eat more you faggot
>>37997750
you have fuckarounditis. stop it.
buy the starting strength book. read it twice and take notes and practice form. particularly read the programming and nutrition sections. they're short but important.
>>37997763
i did
i ate so much i gained like 70lbs in 2 years and only a little bit of it was muscle
now im cutting back down again. so far thats 2 and a half wasted years
I'm thinking of not washing my hair for a significant period of time, would that help to preserve its natural oil?
I usually wash my hair with water only - not shampoo - I don't like how shampoo products makes my hair to be dry and straw-like
Post hair
My advice is to shampoo then use a product. Unwashed hair smells and other notice
Its just going to make your hair greasy and make you look gross.
Just asess how long it takes your hair to get greasy then shampoo. I only shampoo every 3rd day.

I've been on a no soap no shanpoo "diet" for about three years now. scrub myself down with a loofah twice a week. rince off twice a day. use a soft scrub brush on my scalp. unscented deodorant and cologne (polo red, no it's not unscennted cologne. ignore my shit grammar). people (girls) regularly tell me I smell really nice.
