i'm new to calorie counting and cooking and was wondering if you're supposed to weigh chicken out before or after it's cooking for accurate measurements? if you weigh it before there's still a lot of water weight in it so idk
>>37395843
after thaw
>>37395843
Weight it thawed, uncooked.
after cook. - raw can have excessive moisture water weight in it, which increases weight, you end up adding more calories/protein in your tracker....for which is just extra water weight.
100g cooked chicken breast skinless (nothing added, not including oil) = 165 calories, 30g protein.
weigh after cooking
>lmao 3 plate = 140kg
>Lmao 2.5 plate = 120kg
>Lmao 2 plate = 100kg
>Lmao 1.5 plate = 80kg
>Lmao 1 plate = 60kg
>Lmao 0.5 plate = 30kg or 40kg
Americans will defend this shit system
0.5 plate is 40kg, 1 plate is 60.
It's not hard. Shut the fuck up.
>using barbells
not gonna make it
>>37395806
bar = 20kg
1 plate = 20kg
bar + 1 plate mounted on each side = 60kg
was that hard?
/fit/izens, do you have other interests besides lifting/getting fit?
I must admit I didn't accomplish much in life but I've always been full of interests, some of which I still wanna pursue today: mainly travelling and photography. I also want to be more /out/, getting into serious hikes and maybe short camping trips.
How can I concile it all? Is it even possible?
Like right now, I'm planning to leave my mediocre rural Italian gym and build a home gym, I already had a power rack built for dirty cheap (350 euros) and it's pretty awesome, so with an investment in bar and plates I should be set, BUT I also want to spend money on photography an trips...
I do martial arts and go to college, that's about it OP.
Just throw yourself into the shit you wanna do, you'll find a way.
I read a lot of literature.
I also want to go travelling; maybe return to Nepal, or visit the steppes.
>How can I concile it all? Is it even possible?
Learn how to plan and organise time. What you desire isn't difficult to sort out.
>/fit/izens, do you have other interests besides lifting/getting fit?
>bought a book on how to play the guitar last year
>haven't started yet
Maybe this year.

Why do most people give up on diet/hitting the gym? Im talking people who for a month straight post on FB, how great they feel the energy etc... then all of a sudden they just stop going.

2400 for bulk?
>>37394813
Yeah that won't work. Macros don't mean shit. Eat just beans and don't dare to swallow something that tastes good.
Redpill me on /nofap/.
Try it out and see you lazy faggot

If you don't jerk off for two weeks you'll get all the hos

I have some skin changes, i've seen a doc about it and she said it will pass after 2-3 months. It didn't. I thought maybe it was because of eating too many eggs so i dropped them from my diet, didn't help either. Can it be from eating too many protons? Anyone had similar issues? I'm gonna see a doctor again but can't sooner than july. This shit is on my back and some on my chest.

sorry first post
ITT: stupid changes that your gym made
>Gym is hot as fuck
>Finishing a heavy set of squats hot and sweaty as fuck
>"think to myself it's okay because I brought my shower gear and can take a cold shower to cool down"
>walk into shower
>every shower now has a default heat
>the default heating is near boiling hot
I don't fucking understand this change /fit/.. It would make a little bit of sense in Winter, when it was cold. But in this heat during summer it makes no sense at all. Especially since the female showers still have the normal options and only the male showers have default hot showers.
Fucking faggot gym
Lmao what the fuck
Complain to management or something
Say you're transgender and the problem is solved.

>have a lot of free time from work in the morning

>aerobics room door is closed and cardio bunnies have taken over it doing autistic cardio routines with lightweight freeweights.
>mixture of crossfit and p90x bullshit
feminism pls go
It's highly unfair to every male in the gym, who make up the largest percentage of profit for the gym. to completely close down a workout room and/or the entire gym at one of the busiest times of the day.
Why don't you do that shit at like 2 in the afternoon.
Wish I worked 2nd shift again so I could just workout at night.

Hey /fit/
What happens if I don't incorporate deadlifts or squats in my workout? I have a bad back and my doctor suggested I stay away from those two particular exercises if I want my back to remain healthy.
Will I end up with fucked up proportions? What else can I do to make sure I don't lose out on potential gains?
first tell me who is grill
>>37393244
Deadlifting with a bad back is difficult, but squats are def possible.
Start out light and make sure every rep is on point.
You can have a great physique without those. Just make sure to do other exercises that target those muscles and you're gold.
Let's settle this for once and for all:
What are the GOAT fighting styles for lanklets?
6'6" 240lbs reporting in. I've done boxing - now should I continue boxing or is there something better?
Just to add that I have insanely long legs and pretty long hands. I love boxing, but I also want to get some leg/knee work in.
>>37393121
From the sound of it if personally say Muay Thai or some other type of pure kick boxing. I'd also recommend tae kwon do because of your long legs and good reach but TKD is pure athletics and Muay Thai is pure destruction. I did kung fu and can't recommend that enough but good luck finding a kung fu school b let alone a good one that doesn't fit the McDojo meme. Doesn't sound like you even care about grappling do I won't bother throwing in any opinions about that.
Also this should really be in /asp/. Would be good to have a martial arts discussion there as oppose to the gorillion wwe/wcw/etc that flood it and make it toxic.
>>37393121
Da fuk you on OP? I used to run slow marathons and cycle and nothing is as much as a leg workout as boxing.
You have a very distinct advantage with your height. Just get a good, stiff jab and be able to back it up with a chopping overhand right and you can get far.
I'm a 5"9 fat manlet with short arms so I have a pretty nasty left hook.
>>37393121
the idea with tires is pretty neat. That negro is smart
Femanon here. What's does /fit/ think about the Paleo diet? I ate Paleo for a couple of months and saw improvemnt, less bloated, more slim. So, healthy? Reasonable?? Worth giving up cheese?!?!
