Ok guys I've got a slight issue.
>be me a year ago
> 255 lbs, just got dumped by my 8/10 gf
> fall into rut drink/smoke/drugs/nasty women/etc..
Wake up one day and decide, fuck it. Want to get my life together.
Start running everyday, counting cals, keeping better friends.
Eventually get down to 185. (Now)
So I'm 22 years old and have been bouncing back from 185 to 190.
The reason is.. I've been hanging out with a lot of different girls, casual hookups etc.. (since my weight is down and confidence is up) and always end up drinking and going out to eat on dates.
It's been like 3 dates a week where I'm eating garbage and drinking too much, and 4 days of being on my diet and running.
So I keep bouncing back and I feel like I'm getting nowhere...
Ideally I'd like to get to 165 then start bulking from there.
I guess I'm looking for some general advice on how to balance your diet and routine with your social life.
>idnb4 date super fit hot 10/10 chick's.
I'm not that good looking and still have some chub.
Pic related, me.
So /fit/..how do you balance your social life and /fit/ life?
You're a spic. BUILD WALL

Actually I'm a dego. 1/2 wop 1/2 every white European country you can think of.
>capatcha food & drinks...
>>37889802
Eat and drink less. It's not hard to be social and watch what you eat, just don't make a big deal about it
Pic related is me. 5'11 142 pounds. I really want to bulk and the last few weeks have felt like utter hell but I really want to loose these bitch tits before I start bulking, what should I do brahs, help me, really fucking help me.
>>37889570
Cut and bulk
>>37889651
fpbp
>>37889570
Damn I'm 170 and same height and planning to cut to 150. I hope I look leaner than OP when I get there.
im a skinnyfat mega dyel but it seems like theres a gym wide conspiracy to make me think im built
>some guy stares at me until i offer to spot his bench, he says "thats a lot of weight to squat"
>265 5x5
>some guy doing shrugs gives me a thumbs up, a grin, and a nod after he watches me finish a set (he was doing much less)
>315 for 8
>some guy tells me that he's "taking orders from me" because "i've gotten so big", a regular whos never talked to me before and seemed hostile
>if i posted my pic the response would be "skinnyfat dyel"
are they just silly normies or are they trying to build me up for some cruel plan
>>37889390
Post bod.
Maybe you have the dysmorphia.
Maybe your gym is filled with DYEL
Those numbers are high to normies..
>>37889418
Its not a good bod, very skinnyfat dyel if u werent sure from my ##s
I still have moobs even
>>37889471
You squat over 2pl8, you're intermediate now familia. Strength =/= size

You sure that number was right?
>>37889306
Curious how this will develop
Anyone else had a labrum tear and then got it repaired and got back into lifting?
I've had multiple dislocations and then a labrum repair but now it's been a good while since my surgery and I'm having some trouble with benching and overhead pressing
Had a three to five (see clock face) labral tear, I didn't get surgery for it, just did physical therapy.
My lifting is pretty much back to status quo and improved even. I just remember to stretch and do mobility work before doing any heavy lifting to prevent future injuries.
>>37889351
I'm just really worried about re-injuring it
Feels kind of unstable but I'm not sure if it's just the muscles/tendons being weak or that my literal shoulder joint is unstable
Stabilize it by strengthening your rotator cuffs, look them up and learn how to involve your scapula more
How do I get definition in my arms /fit/ ?
Is it strictly a body weight issue ?
I'm just now getting back to the gym after realizing I'm a fat fuck at 5'9" 185lb
I've put on muscle but no distinct tone to it. Should I just go full otter mode and do 2 hours cardio/day for 2 months straight 7x a week?
Halp pls
>>37889092
>hlap I'm a fatass and I can't see me mooskles
Read the sticky.
>>37889299
yah no sticky doesn't talk about this you idiot
learn too fucking not be autisitic eh?
>>37889407
Learn to read between the lines and figure out body fat %.
Why the fuck do summerfags pretend to know things? Do not do this, summerfatass.
> keto
> intermittent fasting
> paleo
> vegan
> blood type diet
> eating "clean"
Literally only fat people believe in any diet that isn't "eat fewer calories."
If someone online talks about this stuff you should just assume they are fat.
My old college roommate did keto and lost 50 pounds. He didn't exercise or anything. The second he started eating normally again he gained it all back within a year. Huge rubber band diet.

>Literally only fat people believe in any diet that isn't "eat fewer calories."
Says the tard who doesn't understand micronutrients.
>>37875571
There you go.
Literally 0% of people who do keto stay lean unless they stay on it for life, then they die of hamburger poisoning anyway.
thoughts? experiences?
lifting same weights and same machines has bored me out of my ass.
>>37889036
more sex swing than exercise equipment
do some body weight routines for a month or two. after that go back to weights.
it is actually good way to get used to your new body weight and actually could give you better joint results.
>tfw smoking 75 cigarettes a day
anyone here managed to quit smoking? I think it's affecting my cardio
>>37888956
> you think
>>37888969
>smoke pack a day
>run 2 miles in 10:56
Not saying it isn't affecting him but I can see where he's coming from.
>>37888956
Kek you're probably dead
Post YFW your favorite running spot gets invaded by Pokemon Goers...
its not fair
you should thank them for not allowing you to kill your gains you ungrateful fuck
Ok, I'm arguing with my friend about this and I'm not 100% sure it's bullshit, because he's either presenting the case well or I'm just wrong in my logic.
He claims that you should always have all you weights be the same, otherwise some muscles will develop faster than others and you'll look like a freak. Meanwhile I'm laughing at him doing a leg press at 245lbs and then attempting to do hip adductors at the same weight. He's the retarded one here right?
Pic unrelated.
>>37888839
>all muscles are the same
Your friend is an idiot.
Yes, your friend is right. That is why I only lift 5 pounds. That's my max for my little pinkie muscles. I don't want to look like a freak.
can someone find and post someone who has quads the size of their biceps i'm curious
Halloween is 16 weeks out!
Don't be pic related on Halloween weekend - there is still plenty of time to bulk/cut/recomp
Don't fall for the powerlifting meme's - legs aren't important and you should be training upper body hypertrophy 3x/week
>>37888728
b-but leg day increases test
>>37888728
Any costume ideas?
I finally have aesthetic body, but i dont want to look tryhard
I wanna go as pyramid head, good idea?
/fit/ I have one thing that I'm insecure about, I can't grow a full beard.
I've been taking zinc, and eating a portion of cabbage/broccoli every meal.
How do I make them beard gains?
>>37888676
genes
Test
>>37888698
This. I can't grow one either but it has filled out exponentially from where it started in the past 2 years. If it's in your genes give it time, if not then learn to live without it
How do I become good at sex?
Have more sex
That's a nice photo anon. Is that you or your dad?
You can't, you missed your chance growing up. It's already too late
Pushup thread
Figured I'd make one since there isn't one up
>>37888595

>>37888731
