red pill me on tryptophan

It's a non polar aromatic amino acid. I think it has an absorbance of about 280 when put through a spectrophotometer.

So I've read that sleep is basically tied with calorie intake when it comes to making gains, but I have trouble falling asleep sometimes. I've thought about buying some of this stuff but I'm not sure if I should trust it.
I mean it sounds pretty intense. I imagine this stuff puts you right out.

/fit/ says women can't get big like men even if they tried. But what if I'm a girl with higher testo than MOST guys, specially boys my age (I'm in highschool)?
I don't know if it's some sort of condition I don't know about or something but I have hair where even my father doesn't. All over my back, tummy, arms, legs, etc... pic related, my tummy. (I know it's gross thanks)
>"just get laser hair removal"
I WANT to and I'm going to (once I'm independent and are able to afford it). But I doubt laser hair removal would change my hormones. So what do you say?
>>42547043
you don't have higher testosterone than men just because you are hairy
you actual fucking idiot. to draw that conclusion is just mind boggling.
>>42547043
>inb4 banned.
Just go see an endocrinologist.

i have been working out for about two months now but i haven't really noticed any difference or progress. i asked the coach at the gym if i was doing something wrong and he asked about diet, routine and frequency. i told i eat only lean meat with a little rice each meal, come three times a week and do a routine that he said was a good routine. then i asked what i was doing wrong and he said he didn't know but he said i was probably doing something wrong and i could hire him as a trainer. i left at this point. what could i possibly be doing wrong?
EAT MORE
A LOT MORE
Track what you eat you little twink. I am 100% sure you're not eating enough.
>>42546955
i was slightly overweight when i started now i am just barely at a healthy bmi

If you're still in the process of losing fat, you're not going to see much in terms of muscle growth. If this is the case, keep lifting, because it will aid you in losing more fat.
If you're trying to grow muscle and you're done cutting, then you're going to have to start eating a lot more.
I'm not trying to keep loose skin around and I don't have the money for surgeries. Whats is /fit/'s advice on this issue??

finish losing weight asap so your youth does the work for you
>>42546675
Ugh. My youth?
>>42546725
As you age, the elasticity in your skin diminishes, so the younger you are, the higher the chances your skin will be able to handle it and bounce back.
First of all, make sure you drink a ton of water and always get enough protein. We're made up of over 70% water and water is good for your skin and overall health.
Some people say to exfoliate your skin with a soft bristle brush before a shower to help get the blood flowing.
Moisturize your skin with coconut oil, cocoa butter or a good lotion you like.
Biotin and fish oil is also great for your skin, hair and nail health.
Make sure you gain some muscle at the same time to help fill out and not look like flabby mess.
Then all you can do is hope you have decent skin genetics.
If you have some loose skin in the end, it will most likely not be that big of an issue. I highly doubt surgery will cost you that much and is an amount that wouldn't feel completely out of reach. You'd just need a bit of hard work, be thrifty and make good decisions with money. You can think of it as another way to discipline yourself. As a precaution, you might as well save a little money here and there now so you have something started if you need it eventually. Keep in mind that many surgeons will also work out deals with you having payment plans to make it easier for you.
Even if I say this, try not to worry about loose skin because you're going to look a hell of a lot better either way.

nope all natty. would it help?
You're not gonna go to the gym again right onii chan? Don't you wanna stay home with me?
The whole premise of these shitposts has always bothered me. Going to the gym isn't an all-day affair, you can easily plan it so it doesn't ruin your personal life.
Maybe if you got some taste. Eromanga is trash.
>>42546374
why not bring that faggot girl to the gym retarded cucks
Will lifting heavy weights give you problems later in life?
Your 75 year old friends will be mad at you for still having a semi-useful body and not being stuck in a nursing home.
Yes.

If you do it wrong
Pretty sure I have a lateral meniscus tear in my right knee.
Started as I was doing squats but ignored it for a while. Now I can't do squats without it hurting.
Went to a doctor before coming to my own conclusion and she shilled physical therapy.
I don't have any swelling and only slight stiffness but meniscus tear seems to be the only injury that explains the pain being so localized (back of knee, near the outside).
I've avoided doing squats since bending that much triggers the pain.
What can I do to get this healed fast so I can go back to doing squats?
Post your trips to snapcity.
>>42546220
go to a physical therapist, /fit/ is not a replacement for medical advice
/thread
I guarantee your form is shit.
I guarantee you've been pressing off at the bottom with the balls of your feet instead of your heel.
Pressing off with the balls of your feet puts a hell of a lot of strain on your knee.
Focus on pushing with your heels and the pain will go away.
>>42546220
Have you had any sharp turns that led to a fall and subsequent loss of power from your leg? If not, it might not be a tear. I've torn ACLs and meniscus in the aforementioned manner. If your knee isn't showing any signs of instability you might be okay.
I had the same issue - back of knee pain. It turns out there was scar tisue and inflammation so they gave me corticosteroids.
What's /fit/'s opinion on beef jerky? I learned how to make it on my own and it's fucking delicious. I smash way too much of it, but since I know exactly what went into it I don't feel too bad.
>>42546154
That's a ridiculous amount of sodium
>>42546305
I make my own and add 0 salt.
I use soy sauce, but not very much.
Does it fit your macros?

thabs not a bagina
I quit drinking alcohol 3 months ago and quit smoking marijuana a few weeks after that. At 29 I havn't gone more than two weeks without getting a little loaded. I wasn't often getting shithoused. A few drinks at the bar with friends and maybe a bender or two each month. I wasn't off the rails with the stuff. But I felt like it was becoming a problem. The last time I drank I got so fucked up I ran across a highway in my underwear and my friends found me passed out in a ditch and I had a complete mental break down when they got me back to their place. These occurances scared the shit out of me. Losing control like that. One drink led to many and I'd be sliding on the walls before I knew it powerless to stop it.
So I gave it up. It was hard. Im a newly single guy and most of my friends wanna go out and drink to have fun. Hell I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what to do that doesnt involve drinking. It was integral to my life. I drank to celebrate and to alleviate sadness. But the more I did the latter I found just dead ends and round abouts. Circling that drain until it finally swollowed me up.
Changing a habit is hard. But having changed one. Well 2 big one, I quit smoking cigarettes over a year ago. Having changed one I feel emboldend to be better. I've fortunatly never really hit rock bottom. I've always had a pretty decent base but I've always felt like I could be doing better. Be smarter, stronger.
Anyway. It took one big change to have it all cascade into how I'm living now. Wake up at 4:30 M-T-F and hit the gym hard. Making gainz. Do some yoga and meditation or stretching each day. Write in a journal. Learn new things. Get better at feeding myself what my body needs.
All it took was that one little realization that something wasn't right and I changed it.
So what was it /fit? What was it that got you to turn some shit around?
>What was it that got you to turn some shit around?
A hard look at the mirror.
got beat up in high school cause I was straight outta aushwitz

Mad props to you for kicking all that poisonous shit out of your life, bro. I wish I could harness your motivation to do the same.
I'm a nurse who works nine evenings in a row (1430-2230) and then has five days off in a row. I'm good on days I work but come by days off I get the vodka and marijuana out and just get fucked up. I wait all day for five thirty in the afternoon to roll around just so I can indulge in this shit. I'm twenty five, 6'2, 160lbs and have a home gym which I use five days a week but I can't escape the need to write myself off every night that I'm not working
It's something I've gotta work on because deep down I am wishing I wasn't working just so I can continue those degenerate behaviours
My life is a mess. Stay on the righteous path my man
Did the anon who created this masterpiece ever upload an updated version? He said he was working on a better mix. He used clips of girls from /soc/ to make the mix.
Asking for a friend....
Wow, I'm honored people still remember this mixtape. I actually made this mixtape on my mom's computer because mine was broken at the time. I still need to recover those files to make a new mix.
On the bright side, I have a new comp and am working on vol. 2, along with a visual companion.
I go by FTS. You can reach me

If you want any updates or have any suggestions for what you think would be good material for the next mix.
Thanks again for enjoying my work, I'm glad I'm not the only one that finds it useful.
