Anyone know how many calories a 200 lb guy will burn in an hour on an elliptical machine?
Probably around 550-600
Depends on your resistance what your heart rate levels are at. I'm a 195 lbs guy that use to be 200 lbs. I burned about 400 calories after 30 mins of using the elliptical with my heart rate ranges being between 165bpm-183bpm.

So I've been lifting for like 6 months now but I feel like I havent made any progress.
I'm thinking of starting /ss/, but the 3 excercises its based on(squats, bench and dl) are very off-putting for me, especially since i've had unrelated leg injuries in the past.
What routine/diet would you recommend for my body type.
Pic related is me.

I'm also 185cm and 80kg if that helps

What does a rotator cuff injury feel like? My collarbone has been swollen and my upper chest feels asleep and tight.
It's more in your shoulder... Not your chest.
>>42507165
I feel the tightness in my neck too. There was some pain in my shoulder before but it's gone mostly after a few days of rest

Ok /fit/, the free weight area in my gym is closed from today until Saturday as they are expanding it and putting in new equipment etc etc. Normally I'd be pissed but they are adding an extra rack and barbell so I'm not too mad about it.
So the other part of the gym will be open. This has an assortment of your standard machines, treadmills and stationary bikes, an area for calisthenics, dumbbells up to 10kg (this is where all the girls work out), kettlebells and a bunch of those retarded bosu ball things.
How do I make the most of this and get a decent workout in?
>>42507036
Treat it as a light day, if there's an area for calisthenics then do some dips and chin-ups, use the dumbbells for added resistance if they're too easy for you. For the legs, some Bulgarian split squats with the dumbbells can be great.
Hey /fit/
I'm a trap here looking for some kind of excersize machine I can fit in my small apartment. Mostly looking for cardio and feeling like an excersize bike is a safe bet.
But I'm getting mixed messages on whether I should get a recumbent or standing! I'm really just looking to shape up my butt and legs some more and burn some fat.
Which is better? Any models you might recommend! Thanks a ton /fit/ I hope this isn't too annoying.

Get one of those mini stationary bikes that are just a block with pedals. You can put it in front of a comfy chair or the couch or whatever.
Found a pic of what I'm talking about. Anyway the problem with a full size bike is that just about all of them have a stupid fucking console right in your face that makes it really awkward to watch TV or browse the internet. I have a recumbent and it is comfy for a bike but I'm still stuck shit posting on a laptop awkwardly set up beside me. If I had one of those mini fuckers I could put it under my computer desk and use it all day no problem.
Stop taking supplements
Start doing rack pulls above the knee
stop trying to grow a beard

Start taking pictures from a distance

You have access to a gym four days a week. Your lower body is 50% of your body. ULUL split? Or ULUU (legs once a week) ?
>>42506708
Ulul .lega in First workout with compound movements and more weight.in the second workout less weight,more reps in isolation

Why does every person on instagram that has fitness or some bullshit in their name believe they are doing the hardest thing in the world by working out? Always posting shit about how only they can do this and how strong they are and how much better they are than people who don't lift. Has your hobby been taken over by normies?
>>42506601
It's literally a marketing scheme.
Normies are extremely impressionable. When they see shit like this they think "Wow, this person truly knows what he/she is doing. I can't even be disciplined enough to not eat pizza and have a beer every weekend, let alone eat well and go to the gym".
Then they get a lot of followers and companies reach out to them to promote their bullshit products. Shit like this would make Goebbels proud.
>>42506700
Never thought of it that way. I've seen even people with a normal amount of followers posting shit like this too.
Is it possible for those who just use their body to 'work out' (push ups, sit ups, etc) to 'make it' or is it harder to do so?
>>42506379
how the fuck can you lift 1/2/3/4 for 8-12 reps if you don't even lift?
I think it's possible, but you'll need to incorporate some advanced calisthenics work, such as planches, levers, handstand pushups, etc
You won't be huge though unless you take gear
you can 'make it' with just pushups and pullups BUT they need to be done weighted and with a lot of weight. Doing dips instead of pushups might make the setup easier though
if you can do these 2 exercises with 50% of your bodyweight added for reps youll have a muscular upperbody guaranteed

Am I supposed to start working out today or not?
you are supposed to start working out right now.
Was up all night teabagging kids on my Minecraft server, so at work this morning I'm understandably exhausted, right? There I am, in the breakroom, pounding my fifth shaker of Mesomorph, and I hear a familiar noise.
It's goddamn, motherfucking Janice, tinkering with the coffee machine again. Hey, here's an idea, Janice, maybe you can't get the fucking Keurig pod in because you have hooves and it requires opposable thumbs you fat cow. I swear I'm this close to hitting up the FBI and telling them the Janice is a sleeper cell for ISIS or something.
Anyway, I’m trying to choke down the Mesomorph, but Janice’s frustrated swearing (she pins tren so its understandable) was going through me like a .50 cal round through a newborn. You know how in cartoons when the characters get real mad, and smoke starts coming out of their ears? Well it was like that but the smoke was coming out of my mouth because I lit a fat bleezy laced up with yip to mellow myself out.
Once Janice smelled it she got fucking PISSED OFF and did the classic maneuver where if you catch someone smoking you make them smoke the whole pack, except it was a blunt laced with high grade columbian snow so I’m sitting here in this stall taking a power shit with the door open and reading Stormfront. What’s yalls Wednesdays looking like? And can anybody in the Dallas area hook me up with some MEsomorph like asap I ran out
link me to your blog, will srsly subscribe
it was twitch-tier
good read OP thanks
How do I only lose body fat %?
According to my scale I'm at 19% BF, I'm at my target weight of 162 pounds but I seem to be a bit high on BF% and I want to drop that.
Do I simply start running (cardio) and continue my diet the way it is? I'm going to be cutting everything but water, no more alcohol or tea.
>>42506115
just train while eating on a deficit to prevent the loss of the majority of you muscle mass
>>42507552
This.
Its easier to train on a deficit by only eating in the evening. hunger pains pass in a matter of days while remaining on a huge deficit
>be me
>marching through high school, started in college level
>have workouts and marching practice
>have spaghetti legs
Is there any way that I can take advantage of marching band to strengthen my calves and thighs?
>>42505942
lift weights is the intensely obvious answer
what the fuck? quit marching band and get in the gym..
>>42505953
obviously, but i'm looking more for something I can do differently while marching to take advantage of it
is it worth it to do a mini cut (say 5 lbs) to sort of extend a bulk? I want to keep getting bigger (up 10 lbs ince april) but just want to shed a bit of fat first. nothing long term, not trying to get shredded just trying to make my body a bit more receptive to gaining muscle.
He said it took him 7 months. Should I ask him about his shoulder routine because those 3d delts and traps look sick
>>42505251
he probably meant weight loss which is believable. going under 10% is 2-3x as hard as it is going from 15 to 12
I just can't for the life of me grasp why normies feel the need to post about their shitty mundane mediocre lives on social media
like who the FUCK gives a shit about their boring lives?
fucking stupid stacies who post their stupid pictures of themselves with their other stupid stacy friends like anybody gives a shit about them, fucking dumbass dudebros posting their dyel physiques like anybody gives a shit
>>42505283
Take a look again at those 3d delts, traps, and his vascularity and tell me it's all 'diet and chicken breasts'
