I am trying to get into running
But every time I start trying to run I start getting sharp pains in both shins about halfway up. The pain carries on for days, and so I never want to continue.
What is this? How do I stop this happening?
Shin splints brah, get softer shoe soles and dont go ham.
Start walking first. Get used to that. Then very slow pace jogs. Running is for fit people not carrying an extra 300lbs with them.

Hey /fit/, do you usually log your workouts?
I've always been a fucking sperg when it comes to logging shit like music, movies and so on but when it comes to exercise, I find it pretty hard to log anything due to lack of proper (fast) tools to do so.
Show me your excel, myfitnesspal

i actually code my own workout programs.i made a pyramid set calculator for my pushup routine and it came out pretty handy.maybe ill make a logging program in the future if i have some time.
Isn't being "fit" just a social construct?
>>37033869
Is 'a social construct' just a social construct?
>>37033869
No, fitness is pretty well rooted in biology.
Attractiveness, sure. Not fitness, though.
And there is a biological side to that to, as we evolved to seek out mates that would produce viable and healthy offspring, and physical fitness is a trait that is highly indicative of that potential
yes
an american may need less muscle than a bulgarian to be called /fit/

Normies who say lifting/gym strength are useless are literal cucks
BJJ fags are starting to get as annoying as crossfitters
>>37033861
well yeah you always want to avoid fighting someone bigger than you. There's a reason weightclasses exist.
Convince me to start eating cottage cheese, /fit/
What's so good about it?
Add a tablespoon of jelly and it tastes amazing.
>>37033821
protein i get about a pot a day
30grams of protein
190 calories
60pence
casein protein. burns slower, which is why it rules to eat before bed because you won't wake up as hungry
>That one dude at the gym with the ironic beard and undercut.
>>37033817
>ironic
the beard is ever ironic. They think growing a beard makes them a real man.
It's not ironic it's a reclamation of manliness but you wouldn't understand. Now who wants bacon beer battered Sriracha tacos?
>>37033824
>This patch of hair on my chin makes me manlier than others
>Being this arbitrary
21 years old.
Other people treat me like a kid.
I basically look like an undevelopped 14 years old.
I weigh 55kg, but worse than that I don't have anounce of masculinity on me. I have no beard, i have a squeaky voice, i look like a girl.
What should I do?
>>37033805
ask /cgl/ about lolita clothing and make-up
Nature's made it clear what it wants you to be.
Now buy a skirt.
>>37033805
That depends on your goal, if you don't have one you can get right the fuck out of here. But you didn't come here to hear that, did you? Read the sticky, and get off /fit/ for a while. Come back and post once you look good.

HOW CAN I FIX THIS SHIT, LIFTING DOESN'T WORK

>just eat less fat fuck
I CANT FUCKING EAT LESS , FOOD TASTE SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD. I LITERALLY GET DIZZY SPELLS AND HEACHES AND FALL ASLEEP ON ANYTHING LESS THAN 3000 CALORIES
>>37033800
cardio and diet

>LIFTING DOESN'T WORK
asks a lifting board for help
In this thread we post pictures of things that normies think is fit and healthy
>>37033792
It makes me sick
Juice and more than 2 servings of fruit.
I can feel the other gym patrons getting annoyed with me for using the squat rack (power cage) for so long. What do?
do you wear a hoodie and shorts?
>>37033683
T-shirt and basketball shorts.
Come at an other time of the day or do alternate sets with them. Doing alternate sets is a good way to make gym buddies.
Literally meth is easier to buy in Australia than Ephedrine. It's a fucked up place. Just want to do an ECA stack is it so hard.
>>37033633
Same in Europe.
Also fuck Americans

Eurocucks btfo. They'll probably ban caffeine in Europe soon too, Muslims are probably against it.
There's a blood donation campaign going on on the uni campus. I vowed to give blood sooner or later, but i have a race tomorrow (i'm just an amateur but i'd like to see how i match up), plus i take my lifting regime quite seriously. I'd expect some drop in performance, and so i'm really afraid of stalling on my lifts especially now that i've been making steady progress on most of my lifts, especially OHP.
So how does donating blood impact your performance and lifting? Any of you have had any experience with it?
>>37033628
Less oxygen getting to your muscles. Same reason why doping blood gives you more oxygen.
There better be some Captain America : Civil War movie tickets coming out of that donation. Two would be better so that you could invite your girlfriend
>>37033628
Blood donation is a fucking meme.
>>37033649
Pretty sure there's nothing in it except a pat on my back. I feel selfish for basically saying ''muh gains'' as an excuse, but fuck, i'm worried as it could easily put my workout back a month or so, from what i've read.
hey fit, i need some advice.
im a obese teenager, 178cm and 75kg, i am very unsatisfied with what i see, use to be 85kg, now 75kg still look like shit.
how can i lose body fat safely and build some defintion?
Lift weights. Don't diet too hard.
Now you just need discipline and patience. It takes years to build a good body, not months.
>>37033469
500mg of cardio and 100mg of weights
4-5 times a week
progressive overload
>>37033511
500. 100 mg?
>You hit the GYM HARD, while Chad eats PIZZA
I hit the PC chair for 25 years of my life while chad hit the outdoors for his first 25 years.
It's only fair chad gets to eat pizza and fuck prime pussy while I jerk off and cry myself to sleep every night.

Do you feed your pets fruits? And is it healthy for them?
>>37033383
aren't cats carnivorous
I accidentally turned my Mexican red knee tarantula into a vegetarian for a month when I put apple slices in the tank for the crickets she won't eat and she just chilled on the slice until she sucked it dry.
>>37033383
Some fruits or veggies cacan be good for pets but certain types can also be extremely bad.
Also, cats are carnivores and cannot gain any proteins from anything but meat. A vegan cat will die.
