I've been coming here almost everyday for about six months. In that time I have learned a tremendous amount from you guys. Your advice on nutrition, fitness, lifts have all translated into incredibly positive gains in my life IRL. As such I don't think I am going to be coming here as often. Maybe its just summer but it seems all the threads are "do girls like X" "is this gyno (hint:yes)" "how do I into not be obese" and of course memes. I'm starting to think that 'making it' means transcending this slovakian fur trading tribunal and living a /fit/ life amongst the normies. I've enjoyed my time here and wish to express my gratitude to the nameless anons who have aided me. I wish you all the best and will carry forth and continue applying those things I have learned here.
>>37996209
All completely correct. Learning what you can and getting the fuck out before this place wrecks your brain is definitely the smart move. You're ready to move on.
You're gonna carry that weight.
>>37996209
See you round space lifter...
see ya, space cowboy
So buy a gym membership instead of alcohol you idiot.
>implying 99% of college graduates aren't wagecucks
You're either own your business or you're a fucking wagecuck bro.

There's a gym in my condo but never use it always just want to Netflix and chill with sluts after work it's a vicious cycle
>>37996320
how is that a vicious cycle you stupid fuck
how is that a cycle at all
stop applying buzzwords to your life and just go to the gym after work it's not that hard
Alright fags, I know this is the worst gym on earth but I need a gym membership, it's right next to my house, and I'm currently a poorfag.
I know it only has smith machines for my, and Dumbbells. I've been a sedentary alcoholic for the last 1 1/2 year, luckily I have superior genes so am only a little skinny fat.
Typically I'd do stronglifts to get back into action, but don't know if will be optimal with only smiths and nowhere to do deadlifts.
Just looking to get my beginner gains back, should I use the smith machine or find a different program that will use the Dumbbells?
Any recommendations on a linear progression beginner bodyweight/dumbbell program?
Linear progression applies to barbells
honestly tho just do what you can if needed. Planet Fatness isn't THAT bad, it's pretty bad but for a beginner you can still make alright gains
>>37996122
They have the smaller barbells with weight pre-set on them, and dumbells. I guess anything is better than nothing.
Should I avoid the smiths all together?
I'm starting to travel often for work and finding myself in a similar situation with hotel gyms. I tried googling some dumbbell routines but haven't found anything that doesn't make me look like a 40 year old woman.
What should one do for depression besides weight lifting?
As a teenager i went through some depressive stages, and at the time, what made me better, was to start weightlifting.
Now it doesn't seen to cut anymore through, im feeling like shit constantly, and instead of helping me, it is just making me more self loathing.
I was put on vyvanse sometime ago, and should have thought with my addict mentality, it would go downhill fast, stoped meditating everyday, stoped caring about most stuff, started arguing with every friend, until i was fully alone, tried suicide twice within two months, and dropped out of college.
Now i can't go back to all those things, whenever i go to the gym i get that awful feeling, i used to be stronger, do a lot more of weights, now it gives me so much anger to try with lighter weights and still fail, i don't want to meditate anymore, because it feels bad to be unable to concentrate anymore.
Everything went to shit in a small time, and now i don't feel the courage to start again.

Try cardio. Get outside, get some sun, get some exercise. Try and find the beauty in things.
Find some meaning in life, get some goals. Pick up constructive hobbies besides fitness.
Do things on a whim. Like look up hiking trails near you and try them out. I've had depression on and off for the past 6 years and one thing that always gets me out of a funk is getting out in nature.
I wish you the best, sounds like you're at a pretty low point in life, but that just means things can only get better from here - if you're willing to try new things and put in some effort.
>>37996071
flush the pills
And start over on weightlifting and get on a program
>>37996071
What do you actually want to do with yourself? Do you like creating things, or the feeling of working on something? Are you spiritually unfulfilled? Do you spend too much time on the internet, or consuming media?
I'm in a similar state as well. >>37996988
has good advice. Don't lose your courage because you've only got yourself. One step at a time you'll get on the path you want to be on.
For me, as farfetched as it sounds, I want to be an animator. Each shitty drawing I make helps beat back the depression because I am putting myself on the journey of my choice, and meeting those who will help me along the way.
All the best to you. Because you are lonely you have only 1 person to truly be concerned about.
Who are your favorite natural bodybuilders, /fit/?

How's mine? I've spent too long doing PPL, and always skipping legs.
Really trying to build up my lagging squat and dead.
>bench on same day as ohp
>3x5 for deadlifts
>bicep curls: "lots"
>>37995972
My ohp is way stronger than my bench, should I do it on B day though?
My deadlifts suck, what would be better?
Yeah, it's accessory stuff, I just hit them as much as I think is best after that days session
>>37995951
4x10 squats
Good for hypertrophy
But if you want to bring up strength drop the reps
5/3/1 is bretty gud
This is your daily reminder:
If your feet are smaller than size 10(US) or 43(EU), you are a footlet.
That is all
oh bugger off ya knobhead

Why are there so many search results for herniated disc on weightlifting forums?
>>37995919
Because people lift with shit form, while thinking their form is perfectly fine and injure themselves.
>>37995928
P much this. Shitty form and don't understand hip hinge if you're mainly talking about deadlift.
Or they are flaring elbows on bench. Etc.
>>37995919
Because deadlifting is a shitty fucking meme. Don't get me wrong it's a great excersize and it's really fun to do but the risk/reward ratio is not worth it. One bad rep with shit form is all it takes to be known as uncle jimmy who can't help us move furniture. There is a reason most athletes and pro BBs don't deadlift there are much safer alternatives to help build up your legs especially from an physique standpoint
What is better Judo or Bjj. I need a reason to take stay healthy and physically active and doing martial arts seems to be the ideal hobby to stay motivated. So what is it /fit/ take down or grapple? Also I'm half Brazilian but the judo gym is three blocks away from me.
>>37995844
do bjj and muay thai
and if u want to add on, wrestling and boxing
judo is a waste
>>37995844
For something that will actually be useful: Judo
Judo is definitely more functional. Going to the ground is the last thing you want in a real fight, especially if multiple people are involved.
>>37995844
do bjj its in your blood
please don't think of martial arts as functional just do it for funsies (because people have guns and you want to stay away from them)
The worst part about full body routines
>the 2 day rest after ABA
>>37995817
>being so boring and unsocial that you can't find something to do over the weekend when you have two rest days
>>37995824
Got plenty to do. I'd just rather be lifting.
The two day rest is literally suffering.
I've tried going going without it, too, but you'd be surprised how tired you will get. Just gotta weigh it out in your head that it's the better option.
That or you can do some moderate running.
45g of fat in 1 cup of almonds? what the fuck? wat do bros i need a snack that has a decent amount of calories so i can hit the 1.5k mark each day. helpp
Is it really that difficult to hit 1500 calories a day? I can hit that in a single big bulking meal if I have to. Just eat anything really. Its all calories in, calories out.
>>37995815
i think he's convolutedly saying he's on a cut
op eat a carrot or alternatively less almonds
>>37995780
Eat the doodie
That come out that booty
Hey /fit/
What bf% do you guys think I'm sitting at? I'm 6'0" 200 lbs. I've lost 60 lbs in the past year but I'm still unhappy with the man boobs. I'm limiting myself to around 2000 cal a day and working out 3-4 days a week. Should I focus more on lifting or cardio at this point?
Too high to be aesthetic. Focus more on cardio and keep at 2kcal/day.
Side angle for you fags
20 with almost zero muscle.
Add mass you will look much better.
>tfw quit nofap after years of struggling
>tfw anxiety depression and constant frustration and sleepless nights gone
>tfw can finally focus on the things that matter and improve my life
Fuck I fell for the meme fucking hard. Don't get me wrong nofap can be beneficial if you fap far too much or if you have a partner, and noporn is indisputably the right thing to do. But if you are an incel without great prospects...
You are making life MUCH harder for yourself.
Don't fall for this meme. I feel much better now I have busted a nut and don't feel anxious and desperate about girls. This will likely help in that area anyway.
bro i masturbate like once a day cause if i dont i just cant get focused
ill just be thinking about fucking women all the time time no lie
>>37995670
this was me . i'm finally back to normal and free
I'm a fap addict and the other day I masturbated 8 times. I waste so much time watching porn and my fetishes have evolved into sick shit. What are some beginner's tips for nofap/noporn?
Give me some of your recipes /fit/.
Boiled Chicken Breast. Just throw your chicken into a pot of boiling hot water, wait a bit, take it out and ENJOY :)
