How does it feel to have shit genetics?
Quote from Kevin Levrone
Probably the most genetically gifted bodybuilder I have ever known, in terms of just beautiful muscle shape and full muscle bellies coming off tiny joints, was Flex Wheeler. Before I continue, let me state for the record that I consider Flex a friend (I once even took him to the emergency room and wheeled him in after a Grand Prix contest in Spain when he almost died of severe dehydration), and I was and still am a tremendous fan of his physique. But he was the laziest out of all of us in the ‘90s. That was an era when guys still trained hardcore. Not Flex. I never saw that guy once get under a bench press or a squat rack. Meanwhile, I’m over in Maryland benching 500 and tearing my pec, squatting 600-700 pounds, and pushing up 405 on the military press. Flex didn’t even train himself. He needed Charles Glass to push him through his workouts, and he had an entourage to get his weights and put them away, give him water to drink, even wipe his brow on the rare occasions he broke a sweat! When it came to dieting, Flex was even worse. I was on the road on a few Grand Prix tours across Europe with him. We would all be eating our grilled chicken, rice and broccoli, while Flex was chowing down on pizza and salty french fries. He ate like that because he could get away with it and still beat us! Why? Again, because his genetics were that good. His shape would carry him even when his condition was off, and it did many times.

Literally CHAD eats PIZZA
Just started out and need some advice. Im starting out with the chicken rice broccoli combo but wanna know what other options there are.

>tfw poorfag
12 oz chicken
10 oz russet potato.
3 Eggs
1 cup egg whites.
>>37645482
There are no other options. None. If you want to be fit, it's chicken/rice/broccoli 'till you die.
So I'm currently on the left. Probably fatter.
225, 6' as of writing this. Just did 31 standing squats. Used to be in the sports, in great shape in my 20s, then I got fat and I'm sick of it.
Thighs are huge.
Man tits.
I'm currently reshaping my diet. Down to water only on most days, but I slip every now and then. Started going to the gym 3 days a week. I bike there, then bike back. Not in shape enough to jog yet, walking would kill my knees since I'm such a fatass.
Been doing inverse pyramid workouts - High weight low reps to low weight high reps - in three sets each time I go just to get back into the swing of things.
I need it to go faster. I don't want to kill myself doing it. Should I just up my weight class and lower my reps? More cardio? Stop eating? Sick of this body being a big titty cage. How the fuck do you kill man boobs at the very least?
I've been stuck in the 210-228 range for over a year.
Eat less, move more. I'm down 20 lbs since april from 220 to 200 @ 5'6. All I'm doing is eating less. Used to eat 2000-2200 calories per day along with 4000 cheat days on the weekend. Cut down to 1600-1800 and the weight is steadily dropping.
Literally change your diet.
>b-but its too hard
>t-this food is so good
Then keep being a fatass
>>37645421
I was at that weight at 5'9" and my knees were fine, I could walk without a problem. It is downright shameful that you can't walk.
Anyway, you should consider swimming. Body stays cool, easy on your joints.
What do you guys think about the bulk and cut diet?
fagit
Waste of time just lean bulk u fags
OP here, so I shouldn't eat this entire large pizza in front of me.
Is there anything better than running alongside the boardwalk, taking in the view on the sea, breathing in that fresh air? Living in a beach town is cardio heaven
>>37645033
lol hes wearing those vibrams
what a faggot
Literally everything is better than running
Going for a run innawoods at 5am, being one with the quiet of nature before scaling a hill just as the sun is rising and taking it all in.
How get Nate Diaz mode?
Skelly mode with a pinch of gyno.

So I've been going to the gym for two months and I don't think my routine is working. I go erryday but switch up what I work on
>Shoulders
>Arms
>Chest
>Back
And repeat.
I eat leaner and at least 200 grams of protein but Im not seeing the results. My strength in my arms has gone up but my shoulders, chest, and back haven't improved. I want to get ripped but I'm frustrated! I really don't have a clue on ways to improve.
>21 years old and 5'10
I've had fairly active jobs since 18 but I'm still weak af. Please help /fit/
Also would appreciate if someone could estimate how much body fat I have . Thanks!
>>37644871
Do you eat enough carbs ? Post detailed routine though
>>37644871
Read the sticky you fool
you gotta be progressing on these key lifts
OHP
Bench
Squat
Deadlift
Barbell Row
also eat in a small surplus of calories.
most of your gains come from food.
as long as your getting stronger in the 6-range range and in a surplus you will get bigger.
You guys have just got to try this new diet.
It's called C.A.R., which stands for Chicken, Avocado, and Rice.
That's all you eat, ever.
This baby will get you mad gains.
>>37644663
I prefer having a more balanced diet, but thanks senpai
>>37644725
What's more balanced than pure protein, pure carbohydrates, and pure fat, mixed into whatever combination you want?
Dude, avocado has a reputation for getting old fast, there's only so much you can do with it before you experience flavor fatigue.
What do you think about wheelchair bodybuilding?
>>37644662
They have a leg up when it comes to bulking/cutting.
Thats an a e s t h e t i c wheel chair
>>37644662
I honestly wish it was more celebrated in our society so wheelchairfags wouldn't feel isolated from fitness.

where do /fit/izens work out in SF?
i lived on the east bay last year and could find places to work out, but i'm in the city for the summer and everything is either pilates or $90 a month
>>37644570
>pick any city
>move there
Fuck this over priced homeless garbage filled aid infested shit hole
>>37644593
i'm moving to ann arbor next year, this is just where i am this summer
>>37644570
Fitness SF bro. Or the YMCA. Or a crossfit box. Or one of the better climbing gyms like Dogpatch or planet granite (mission cliffs smells awful and is full of kids).
Also everything in SF costs 3x as much as it should. 90/month isn't that bad.
total body cardio workout that doesnt use equipment but also doesnt require you to get on the floor?
what type of workout would this be called cause its hard finding it on youtube
its super annoying having to skim thru a workout just to make sure there is any parts that say "okay now do some burpies" or anything else
i know Kickboxing is obviously all standing, but is there another term or word i could also look for?
>>37644419
Elliptical
>>37644419
Why does it have to be standing? Just get on the floor. Only real legit reason you shouldnt be able to is having a medical condition, but if thats the case and you cant get off or on the floor not sure how youre going to do cardio.
>>37645249
i just hate the bullshit of getting my hands dirty or anything else
i found a few kickboxing vids and going to do those
Hey /fit/, 5'6" Irish pasty white male here.
Should I even bother? People have been encouraging me to try running to get up my stamina because I have asthma, but is there even a point in me hitting the gym?
I'll just get laughed at behind my back, and I'd just look silly.
OP here. I used to be a very good swimmer, but there are no swimming pools around.
>>37644370
Not gonna make it
>>37644370
With that attitude, fuck no, you'll never make it brah. On a related note, if you go on a college campus or go literally anywhere outside you'll realize that manlets always have hot gfs. Height doesn't matter to women, not as much as you think it

Why are so many buff dudes bald? I know steroids make your hair fall but i see a bunch of natties in the gym, and everywhere else, that are bald.
Bad hairline?
They like the look?
They lift to compensate for being bald
I have been thinking that lifting causes hair loss
how bad are sugarfree energy drinks for me? i drink around 1-2 of these a day, ive done say probably for the past 3 years
We won't know until at least 2030
>>37643961
honestly bud 1-2 a day is a lot.
I drink them 1-2 a week...other than the caffeine addiction i dont think there are any long term studies but i wouldnt be surprised if it fucked ur shit up

Kidney stones and possibly gall stones are coming your way. The sweeteners deposit themselves in your organs since they can't be processed and eventually calcify.
If you can limit them and just have coffee most of the time it's probably better.
is this achievable natty?
