That's great, now what are your squat and deadlift?
How do you get the motivation to work out by yourself? I wanna ride a bike outside to get some sort of exercise but my public fears are getting in the way. I'm a little overweight in the stomache and underweight everywhere else. for 170pds 5'11 male.
I run early in the morning or late at night when there's not that many people around
Fix your mental illness then get fit after. Getting fit isn't going to make you less socially awkward , you'll just be a /fit/ sperg. Just look around here there are guys on here that squat 315 and still too afraid to ask a stranger for a spot.

I started taking celexa last week so hopefully that does something. I'm never gonna feel better if I don't force myself to leave the house and go outside though. Plus I used to work out and I feel better about myself when/after working out. I just need some tips on how to how to keep my mind focused. Maybe I just gotta do it.

Anyone else do around 5 hours of cardio a day? I usually end up switching machines a few times to keep it interesting.
>Not doing 7 hours of arms
>>37989989
Dont even know how thats possible, when I pound my arms, im sore as fuck and the fatigue sets in after an hour.
how much do you have to fucking eat
>Fall in love with lifting and self improvement
>Parents are unable to work soon and I will be kicked out

It made me extremely uncomfortable just to watch him do this. He did this for 3-4 sets with very high reps (8 or 10, I think). I just sat there and said nothing. I had the volume lowered on my earbuds expecting to hear a crack any moment but it didn't come.
Would you have told him in this situation? I mean if he goes to snap city, there's less people in the gym and more equipment time for me, right?
Fuck em. Most people don't like getting corrected.
If you not intimate, or at least subject of ome sympathy of the person you will advise, you will get some shit.
I don't think i matters if you giving legit advice, i don't think the guy will listen. I would, but i'm new, so there's that.
In your place i would just do my thing and leave.

Are you describing pendlay rows?

Hi /fit/
I'm new here. And I've been working out lately. So far I've list 2pounds. I walk 22min and run 4min I'm not in a diet but I try to portion myself
I've been running lately and my shins hurt shin splints maybe ?
And any tips on how I could loose more weight faster I count calories etc along with that I want to start doing squats again yet when I do. Later down the road. My knee ends up slipping out of place ... And I also want to build my arms up which is no problem yet I build muscle easily but I only have 3 pound weights and a8pound weight ball. Sorry for all the questions.
>>37989840
>trying to lose weight
>focusing on exercise rather than diet
lol
>>37989840
>read the sticky
>losing weight is a slow process unless you do drugs
>keep at it
>don't lose hope
>it took you years to get fat
>>37989840
READ. THE. STICKY.
Its at the top of the page with a running dinosaur below the link, can't miss it.
so are kettlebells a meme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDea5BcK9gw
They aren't magic, but I think they do great things for conditioning, power development, and stabilizer-type work.
Swings, Turkish get-ups, single arm presses (and other nontypical unilateral movements) all may for good supplemental exercises.
Very good for Farmer's Walk and Shrugs.
Onnit is a meme.
Is it possible to be a great/good violinist(not prodigy tier) and muscular as well? Inb4 frank yang. Which means it's possible I guess...
Uh...
So, anyone on /fit/ play any instruments? How about classical interest?
>>37989740
play a lot of travis style geetar. mountain music doesnt exactly drop the panties but its fun and challenging.
>>37989855
Just use that Travis picking into a few classical pieces even some easy shit like Romanza or classical gas impresses people
If you couldn't tell I also play guitar OP
Used to play trombone in middle school lol
currently learning how to play piano
Can you actually get back to a flat "stomach" once you've gained a bit of a gut?
Do those fat cells just not die?
I had always been a skelly, last 2-3 years i tried to gain some weight, before I got into lifting.
Looked bigger, but got a belly gut.
Now I've been lifting for 5 months, look slightly better but I fear that I fucked up and will have this fucking gut forever.
I'm also working my abs and transverse
>>37989658
You gained some fat, it will go away when you cut retard
>>37989665
fat cells dont go away though
>>37989678
Yes they do
Alright brehs, I need your opinion on something. I've just had a random blood test and it turns out my pituitary is working overtime stimulating my thyroid to keep hormone levels normal. This is what's called subclinical hypothyroidism, and while it's not a problem on its own, it can develop into hypothyroidism if my thyroid stops responding. Should I go for T4 treatment?
Also, I recently lost 22 pounds by eating under my caloric maintenance. I have been really punishing my body, basically starving myself AND doing cardio and lifting. Could this stress have caused the drop in thyroid function? Can it stabilize itself if I eat at maintenance for a while?
I'm a 5'6 manlet, 29 years old. 167.55 pounds at the moment. I've been gaining muscle but I still have a lot of fat to get rid of.
I basically want to avoid having to take hypothyroidism treatment meds for the rest of my life, even if it means taking a break from the gym temporarily.
Or should I just embrace T4 treatment and carry on as usual?
Cmon motherfuckers you're supposed to be experts on this shit.
Bumpo

>I have been really punishing my body, basically starving myself AND doing cardio and lifting. Could this stress have caused the drop in thyroid function?
Jesus Christ, we've got ourselves a real genius here.
Son, take a break from training and eat at a slight surplus for a few weeks. You've got overtraining syndrome from running at a deficit too long, it's fucked your hormones all outta whack.
BTW 22 pounds is a nice chunk of weight. Congrats on losing it but don't lose sight of the over goal, which is better health and fitness. Sometimes you gotta know when to pack it in for a while.
>TFW after beginning to lift noticed significant bodyhair increase
