How the fuck does one quit smoking? I do these HIIT classes and it really bothers me that even though i'm the biggest guy there my resistance to high-intensity training is shit,and i suspect it is because of smoking.I managed to cut from 1 pack a day to maybe 10-15 cigs.
start vaping
After being a smoker for 8 years (1-2 packs a day) I started vaping and I stopped smoking after about 1 week. Then I managed to cut down on vaping in about 2 months and I'm now smoke-free since about 2½ years. Can highly recommend it. It's not autismal if it's done to quit smoking.

Oh, btw, quitting smoking was like being reborn with a new set of lungs
Just do it
It's a nice day outside. What can I go do?
I don't really have any friends, but I have money. And I already lifted.
Are you me?
I've got nothing to do today. I guess I'm gonna learn the solo from The Middle (Jimmy Eat World) for my band practice, then go get a haircut and call it a day.
Get a dog and walk around the park.
>>37345363
good question
I went to the mall to get some things, then gym, now im home
cant really do much solo otherwise desu
Opinion on training to failure for muscle growth?!
Depends on how long your comfortable waiting to train the muscle again. I don't enjoy it because of the increased recovery time.
Only on the last set and only on small movements. Max rep deadlifts are a 1 way ticket to snap city.

Miley,what happened... I
/fit/, if you look attractive will people give you stuff for free?
As a guy, it wont work in street clothes. If you want benefits, go buy some athletics gear from your local college and pretend to be on a sports team. You'll get free meals at restaurants.
Play the lie well enough, and you might meet some boosters and score a free car.

If you're 6ft+ just tell them you're a walk on for the football team. It's a 100 man roster, so nobody but the sluts trying to fuck the whole team will know everyone's name. It's damn near foolproof.
Only if you're a girl.
Why aren't you eating a container of cottage cheese a day?
perhaps because I don't like it and I can do just fine eating other stuff instead you faggot?
380mg sodium per serving X 6 servings = 2,880 mg sodium

Does a certain amount of push ups constitute an okay chest work out?
only if you wear a backpack full of stones
1000 or more within an hour are fine for a beginner. After beginner stages it's worthless
>>37344552
>>37344565
what if you are relatively weak, and can only do 20 push ups at a time
i'm 6'0 120 lbs. Pathetic. I know. I've been like this for all my life, a walking stick. Well, I've decided enough is enough, and said I'm going to join a gym.
I was terrified, A skinny piece of shit like me entering a gym, everyone's going to laugh, point, and kick me out, but I just told myself, remember all the people who ever made fun of you through out life, it can't get any worse then that, and use that as motivation. So I did.
I entered the gym and my fucking legs were shaking, no joke. I have a routine that I am going to use, but today I said I'm just going to go in there and get a feel for the place, try a few exercises and get out. I walk in there, I was about to throw up cuz i was so nervous, so I just walked straight to the curl rack.
There was an average guy next to me curling, I don't know looked about 30 lbs, so I figured I can probably do 20, so I try to pick up the 20's. AND I COULDN'T. The guy next to me was staring at me, and told me "Try something else" then points at these pink ones on the floor. Apparently his friend behind him was watching and started laughing. So I turned around and I wanted to say something, but I just couldn't, I pick up the pink dumbbells and start curling. Well his friend starts making smart remarks like "WHOA THIS GUY IS A BEAST" and other things. I was so pissed I almost threw a punch but then I realized how big they are and decided not to. I threw down the weight and stood up tall. I then told the bully he was a stupid idiot right in his face and walked out before they could say anything. I could only imagine how mad he was that he wasnt able to beat me up and that makes the whole trip a success. I think im gonna try a home gym.
You let em win.
Go you.
>>37344434
go back, you damn faggot. don't let them get one over you.
bring your iphone with some earbuds, and listen to music. stay focussed and keep going.
You need some testicle gains.
How do I get this physique
Do your cardio and lift heavy.
>>37344431
Start by tracing someone else's work, until you learn how to draw freehand.
>>37344431
First your father has to have had a bizarre adventure. If he has good, you can start your training. If not, give up. Some people just have good genetics.
What's the best and fastest way to burn muscle and build fat?
Lie in bed as much as possible, while consuming only HFC.
>watch your diet
>lift weights
>cardio
Tren
>tfw you catch a glimpse of your reflection in between sets and see you look small as fuck
When will this ride ever end
Should I start working out with hoodies?
>>37344179
I'm the opposite tbqh
>>37344179
Yeah put on more. Nobody wants to see your skinnyfat shit.
>>37344179
That picture isn't accurate. I see my muscles and how big I am, but then I notice hey my chest could be a little bigger, my hamstrings don't have that bulge I want, my lats could be a little more cobra (don't want my gf to leave me), my forearms could be a little more joocey, and it goes on and on, forever not being big enough.
What progress have you made in your live besides of getting a better physique? I'm talking about academic or social achievements, anything that isn't directly connected to weightlifting basically.
>inb4 mods say this thread isn't /fit/ enough for this board
it is. /fit/ is about making it. And making it is more than just putting on some muscle and losing some fat.
>>37344128
>it is. /fit/ is about making it
But this is wrong. /fit/ is about fitness.
>people who haven't met me before comment on how social I am
>see me as a natural leader
>can make any girl smile in a few minutes of talking to her
feel like a fucking social magician at the moment. Gonna get tinder as soon as I move to a new city and start losing that V card.
>no gf
>good and bad grades so meh
Slacked off on life desu
/fit/ I'm fucking dying and I don't have health insurance so I can't go to the doctors. I live with my parents and they don't want to pay for it, and they won't let me go to the doctor cause we'd be paying out of pocket and haven't had health insurance for years. I could pay for it but I just have a minimum wage part time job stocking grocery at night shift that's paying for college.
So I'm consulting the /fit/ doctors for advice. Do I try to fix each problem on its own, or try to get some cheap health insurance and go to a doctor for a one time visit?
>achy, crackling knee joints, can barely squat body weight
>arm goes numb constantly, usually while driving or when I wake up from sleeping. from shoulder to wrist
>hand goes numb when I'm on the computer, tendons in my wrist twang around and causes mild pain when I move hand forward or to sides. Can't do 80% of exercises cause pressure on hand causes pain, and weakens grip. Have had carpal tunnel in the past. requires surgery at worst. I do body weight fitness, and do tons of wrist exercises but I think the root of the problem can't be solved with just warmups
>left wrist has a ganglia cyst, hasn't gone away/always comes back for 2 years now
>back problems, possible scoliosis. might require surgery at worst
>balding on top of head slightly
>cystic face acne, some on back. ongoing for years now. face pulsates with pain during bad breakouts, currently bad due to sudden shift in weather and work environment
>occasional chest/heart pains. nothing too serious, I just rub my chest to get blood flowing.
I would like to get vitamin deficiency tests, maybe a testosterone level test to see if those are fine as well. I'm 20 btw. 5'10.5, 145lbs
Eat >2,500 calories every day. Eat a plate full of veggies, fruit, lean protein, healthy fats. If you're poor, supplement your diet with beans, rice, and bananas. You'll be fine you fucking skeleton.
>>37344090
Idk I think my diet is fine. I worshipped and studied /fit/ food guides for a good 2 years and my parents make dinner for all of us. I eat mostly healthy otherwise. Could do with more salads and fruit I guess.
But these wrist issues are killing me.
SS + gomad
>tfw I was never fat so my calves will always be small

How many of these can you eat daily without getting cancer or another shit in 5 years?
>>37343728
millions of people have eaten eggs pretty much daily for their whole lives and none of them have gotten cancer.
>>37343775
Ye but how many?
3?
4?
10?
When I worked on a farm, the guy who owned the place ate 2-5 eggs every morning, every single day of the year. It depended on the season and amount of work which was required. I have no idea if that's particularly healthy, but he didn't have any major problems at all.
