doing my first real bulk after working out for a while.
how do you deal with the shitty feelings of getting fatter? I'm starting to notice love handles and it feels so wrong.
I was a fatty as a kid and I'm getting flashbacks. I keep telling myself to not be a pussy.
what do you guys do?
Eat less dummy
Christ dude ur over doing it

oh I didn't even think that was possible.
Lately my heart rate has been absurdly high ~90-100bpm resting. I'm 6'2, 200lbs and have been lifting for 2 years (best lifts 180/120/200 kg).
I started taking creatine a few months ago, and as far as I can tell it's the only thing I've changed in my diet.
Can creatine cause fast heart rate? I have trouble sleeping anymore, anytime I lay down I just feel THUMPTHUMPTHUMP and though I'm tired I can't get to sleep for almost an hour some times.
pic related it's the creatine I use
Caffeine? Yohimbine? Stress? Lack of sleep? Electrolyte imbalance?
>>37037956
I've cut my caffeine intake by half, only to a small cup in the morning and after lunch and it the problem persists.
I have some stress, but no more than I used to and I haven't had this problem before, I only have lack of sleep when I can't seem to fall asleep
How would I know if I have an electrolyte imbalance?
Creation doesn't cause fast heart rate. It isn't a stimulant. Maybe you are taking something with caffeine. Are you raking a preworkout?

There's a sticky
There's a thread for questions that don't deserve their own thread
We've all seen and discussed this a thousand times before
Delete your thread, read the sticky, and lurk for general advice.
Nobody is going to make you a custom daily diet and exercise plan for free, but all the info on how to build your own as a beginner is here.
In the grand perspective, today is the best day to start. Let's say you hit age 40, you will have regret for not starting when you were 35.
anyone else think fit girls are really gross.
No. Just worry about yourself faggot

aight
Nah
Hello /fit/
Does anybody else have a problem with their muscles constantly being flexed as in you just literally can't relax your muscles? I often realize i've been tensing my abs and shoulders for 6+ hours and I can't relax them anymore.
I've went to get massaged, used sauna etc. but I think it's mostly mental problem or nerves. I've received muscle relaxants to this condition and been to chiropractor as well. Nothing just seems to help, it always comes back after a while. Might it be related to sleeping in a bad pose or something? Lifting helps because usually I can't keep my muscles tensed anymore because I just pumped lots of weight. This will keep me solid for maybe 2 hours to 3 days but after that it just comes back.
My next step is to quit caffeine to see if that helps. Some people get anxious and tense after drinking lots of coffee and I've realized I might have a oversensitivity with caffeine.
Any /fit/ bros with similar problems? My muscles, especially my back and shoulders ache. I just want it to stop ;__;

Try meditation, for real. It's probably something mental that's keeping you from relaxing and meditation/mindfulness can almost always help with that kind of thing.

Why do my shitty coworkers want me to eat pizza with them at work every thursday? I always tell them "no I got my own food thanks"
Every single thursday
>busy at work
>coworker comes up and says "hey man we're ordering pizza what do you want"
>me: im good thanks
>coworker: you sure? last chance to eat some pizza
>me: no thanks
>lunch break
>everyones eating pizza
>im sitting there with my chicken and rice
For some reason this makes my social anxiety even worse when i'm the only one eating a healthy fucking meal. It gets worse every time too.
>>37037277
>implying a slice of pizza a week is going to kill your gains
Fuckin kill yourself now before you overdose on creatine boi.
>>37037293
>everyone wants pizza
Maybe my chicken and rice just tastes better. Ever think about that faggot
>>37037293
I meant a whole pizza not a slice faggot. How am I supposed to overdose on creatine?
>tfw you can't lift up ur height
>>37037266
>grow, grow, grow

Last weekend I pulled this girl and we went to my place... It all went good until we entered my room. She then suddenly decided that she needs to leave...
How can I make my room more sloot friendly? Does it look that creepy? I just like to lift desu
I can smell that room from here lol
Try decorating the walls with shit from your favorite team, hell hang a rug atleast. Get real blinds for that window. Polish those weights, make them presentable and clean.
I really don't know, you kind of fucked up the appeal of the room by having the rack there. If you want gains you are definitely on your way, but nobody is going to want to hang out in your smelly spunk cave.
>>37036892
Lol holy fuck, this is spot on, it's like you can smell the b. O. And semen just looking at that photo
>>37036813
Jesus fuck anon, buy some candles or some shit and get rid of grandma's lamp, open up that fucking window and get a vacuum, organize your weights so they take up as less space as possible, buy girl shit... Extra pillows and stuff they like... It took me years to get the hang of this, no one says you have to turn your place into some girly paradise but it should at least be female friendly if you want them to hang out... You ever walked into a girls room and seen it look like that degenerate mess you call a room?? Then why would they want to hang out in that shit??
>get up
>feel groggy, lazy, skin and eyes are dry
>have a huge drink of nice ice cold water with a bit of lemon in it
>instantly come to life
why is water so good bruhs?

Help /fit/
One month ago I think I injured my lower back after doing many light deadlifts after heavy ones tho nothing bothered me at the time. Pain was getting worse and one week later woke up with the worst pain but still went to the gym to do deadlifts and squats. Squats really bothered my lower back. After that day on I went another week to the gym and did no stuff that could bother my lower back. This last week I even took a break from the gym. It's better but I still wake up with pain, get it while sitting a lot or from sudden movements. Took some anti inflammatory pills and gels but they didn't do much. I also have some anterior pelvic tilt, could that delay healing? Anyone had this or something similar?
tl;dr Injured back 4 weeks ago, better, but still not enough.
Please /fit/, I've beek working out for 9 months or so, I was making the slowest progress but still making enough to be noticed by regular folks. I don't want to be set back by this and lose everything I worked so hard for. I always get set back in the gym eventually and it's driving me crazy.
Is this dr manhattan
>>37036553
Yes, he made an x-ray of his body so people on /fit/ get attracted and answer my quesiton.
>>37036500
I have lower back problems so here's what you do.
For the immediate pain
>Get some epsom salt
>Pour a bunch in the tub
>Like 1/3 the bag
>Make the bath hot AF
>Sit in bath for 30+ minutes
>Do this everyday it hurts
The salt and bath will help with the muscle tension and such but there will be some left over soreness from the area hurting for so long.
Now for the long term issues
>Go to the cunting chiropractor
>Don't do retarded shit
