>finally go to gym
>can't figure out how to use any of the machines
>don't know what to do with the free weights either, kind of try lifting one over my head but notice everyone looking at me weird so put it down and go home
Why do gyms just assume you know everything?
>why reading the sticky is so hard
>>36989004
Read a book about exercise first or even a mens health and fitness magazine
I'm not a complete retard so I watched YouTube videos on proper form and use of said weights. People still stared but I gave no fucks cause at least the way I'm using the equipment is correct and I'm not gonna hurt myself.
Planet Fitness is the Bernie Sanders of living a healthy lifestyle

I agree with this
Then what's the la fitness politician?

Guys,
>be me
>Can't get a job
>didn't study for my finals
>studying shitty degree
>squatting
>eating oats
Right now I want to quit, I want to stop eating my fucking oats, go out to a friend's house and start eating pizza while smoking pot forever.
My gf doens't even help me to stay on track.
Could you guys please motivate me to keep going? Been watching a few videos about lifting but it isn't helping that much.
So I guess:
>ITT: we motivate each other
Is it your gf's responsibility to keep you on track? Hell no. She'll leave you with that mentality. Get your shit together and start studying. It's not too late to study.
>make motivation thread
>post image of dead drug addict
Real motivational.
>>36988828
so quit, faggot
lol @ motivation, just fucking do what you're supposed to do
I'm 74kg at 5'8~9 and want to have a similar body like pic related.What do I need to do to obtain it.I know its a complete dyel body but it feels and looks like the healthiest t b h.I'm not eating any sugar or junk food.Will cardio only be enough or I will also have to do calisthenics(obviously no point in going to gym for body like this).
that body isnt really impressive at all. You can probably get there in 6 months or so. do a basic routine but with a lot of cardio. either running or swimming. You will probably have to lose weight if you are 74kg. He looks a lot lighter than you. My bro looks just like him at 6'1 150 lbs
>>36988798
I assume you are skinny fat at the moment, correct?
cardio, ab work and loose like 15 kg and you will look exactly liek him imo.
So what you need is low bodyfat and to train abs to get them to show nicely (I have seen a lot of people with low weight and BF% and still they had no abs, so if you want them to show you still need to grow them a bit).
for abs do things like planks, don't do sit ups btw.

What's the cheapest barefoot shoe? I'm not paying $100 for some fucking shoes.
>>36988705
I just spend $165 on some shoes because i'm extremely flatfooted and have fucked up ankle pronation; so I need a lot of support
We'll see if its worth it
If you want cheap that's still good quality, look into new balance minimus on amazon. There are different versions and you can look through the colors to get a pair for like 50$. I have a pair and 3 pair of vibrams and I like them all.
Merrells are good too but they're expensive like the vibrams.
>>36988705
>What's the cheapest barefoot shoe
Your feet.
> I'm not paying $100 for some fucking shoes.
That's not an outrageous price for shoes. But the ones in your pic sometimes show up at Ross for much less than 100 dollars.
Any /fit/aggots do triathlon? Or swimming, cycling, running or any other multi-event sports? Looking to complete a half ironman next summer, and since starting tri my fitness has gone through the roof
>>36988453
I want to get into triathlon but I dont have the time to, or to put it better I dont want to sacrifice swimming to train running and cycling.
I swim 4 days a week in the morning and lift twice a week + work and university.
How did you started anon?
>>36988549
There are a lot of aquathlons nowadays (just swimming a running) which are pretty godly for fitness, if you swim in the mornings then running in the evenings would be great if you could fit it in, or try to do some brick sessions
I started in school when I was 17 then joined my university triathlon club so I've been doing it for 3-4 years now. It feels pretty good because the majority of people either do nothing or just lift so people automatically assume I'm some kind of endurance machine
>inb4 triathletes are all skeletmans
This man did not do any weightlifting at all. He did 50 ironman tris in 50 days and ate around 8,000 calories a day
Anyone else notice a bit of a redish tone since you started working out? Not complaining infact it gives me more of a lively look desu
Is this going to be my new skin tone? or is it just at the start of working out that it sticks ?
>Myspace pictures
>I look red
>>36988434
Whut?
>>36988413
>girls like this exist
>instead of going to college where I can meet and fuck them, they're camwhores and callgirls
Is there a point where a girl is too hot to do anything useful? I've met plenty of hot girls but nobody with comic book proportions like that pic.
Redpill me on planetfitness, /fit/. Why shouldnt i join? Its only 10$ a month, 24 hours, and they have free food (skellu here)
You will literally get in trouble for lifting weights. Can work fine if you're a newbie, before you get to real weights.
>>36987785
>You will literally get in trouble for lifting weights.
What do you mean by this?
>>36987751
No fucking barbell
No deadlifts, bench press, overhead press, squat, rows
You basically might as well not lift, because if you go to PF, then you don't even
>all you have to do is lift bro!
>it'll get you a gf for sure bro!
>>36987736
2/4 ended up getting a semi-cute gf.
>>36987736
I'll do the honors.
HEIGHT, FACE, FRAME.
I sure am glad I'm paying all this money to buy supplements to get things that I can easily get from food sources.
Supplements are more convenient than foods sometimes and require less effort majority of time other than going to buy them.
>>36987563
Underrated post.
>eat healthy foods
>sometimes it's more convenient to have a shake than to cook a chicken breast for a protein top up

Where else can I get that from
You hit the GYM HARD, while Chad eats pizza
Girls look at your gymcel body and think "ewww what a try hard" while they look at the chad and think "i love him, he just does what he wants, not even concerned about the whole bodybuilding thing".
Chad STILL looks INFINITELY better than you because of his GENETICALLY DETERMINED HEIGHT, FRAME and FACE.
Women are getting more and more choice and validation and its either CHAD or NOTHING
Why haven't you gymcels learnt yet?
It's either ALPHA GENETICS, or BETA RESULTS.
>tfw this is your favorite meme on /fit/

Yeah it's pretty dank stuff.
Any more Mindy?
Is this going to devolve into Mindy hate threads?
>>36987339
Mindy is love
Mindy is life
How does it feel knowing Mindy is stronger than you?
What is the best thing that you can do with bodyweight and one 10kg dumbbell?I made a research and found that the best bodyweight workout is Overcoming Gravity(please prove it wrong if you can) but I was wondering how I can incorporate the dumbbell because I remember reading that you can make a decent mass even with really low weights.
>>36987237
Pick up the dumbbell, throw it in the trash. Now carry your bodyweight to the gym.
>>36987237
do weighted dips/pushups/pullups
stick the dumbbell in a backpack and go to town
>>36987246
I was not going to make the thread If I could dont you think?
Is it even worth it to open a savings account? Pic is of one of the highest interest bank who is also FDIC insured. I checked my maximum FDIC insured amount to be $500,000 according to their website. Are all saving accounts fundamentally Ponzi schemes waiting for the market crash to hit? School me on financial literacy, /biz/
Wrong pic sorry
Savings account is never meant to be an account if you are trying to live on interest. It's supposed to be an account you can easily draw out of incase you need extra money thst you don't have in your checking account .
>>36987162
CDs are a meme now. If you want a non-stock market option than go with bonds but be prepared not to touch your money for 20 years. If you want more freedom than find a decent mutual fund to invest in.
>asians at the gym
Why are they so weird?
