4 year lifter here, I have a question about cardio.
If I do HIIT for 15minutes or so, or run for 30minutes, my lifting suffers greatly, but I can walk for 2+ hours non-stop and lift the same day without any loss in performance in the gym with lifting.
Why is this the case? It can't be calories burnt, because I am burning more calories in 2 hours of walking, than I am with 15minutes of HIIT or 30minutes of running. So what exactly is it about HIIT and running that fucks up my lifting performance?

Because HIIT and running ups your heart rate and walking doesn't as much.
Why would you want to walk for 2 hours?

>Because HIIT and running ups your heart rate and walking doesn't as much.
How does that impact performance on lifting though? There's gotta be another explaination, like HIIT/Running must use the same "training patterns" as lifting does..maybe? Like ATP or whatever? Where as walking doesn't use ATP...? I dunno.
>Why would you want to walk for 2 hours?
Because I like taking long walks, helps with the depression, fresh air. Plus my grandparents are in their 90s and have walked 2-3 hours a day every-day since they retired and they're in top health for their age.

Muscles get damaged when put under exertion. When that happens performance drops.
What's so hard to understand?

I'm not there yet, I still have 15 lbs to go to a healthy weight but it'll be there soon enough. I can't fucking wait to see everyone's reactions.
HARK, FOR THIS SHALL BE A THREAD OF BRAIN GAINZZ
Quick Story: Growing up I had a smart white alpha dad, I developed his sense of humor and wit, however he worked in another county (NOT countRy) and only came home once a week. This left me to live my childhood with my asian mom, who was reserved, and I picked that up.
>Perfect recipe for a class clown.
>Funny and witty, but took after my moms quite and not wanting to offend anyone personna.
>Leading me to be "the clown"
>That whole situation where people will invite me to stuff, but never really "in" a social circle, and nobody ever really comes to my plans I make.
19 now, can talk to people pretty good, however when it comes to women, I'm still an autist. I can make girls laugh and be initially intrigued, but then they see the clown side I guess. I also do not like confrontation.
Started hanging out with rednecks, and they fuck with people all the time. They dont give a shit about anything and wont back down.
>This shit started to rub off on me
>Notice a little bit of manhood in myself.
Has anyone experienced this before?
Any way to mentally become a more dominant person?
Inb4: asking this question on an anime inspired image board filled with manlets, an manlets who lie about being lanklets.

I remember some dude posting about how he hung around niggers and developed that dgaf attitude without becoming a wigger.
I guess the same principle applies here?

Your dick went from average to slightly above average, it really didn't make a difference at all and you would be better off not worrying about it.

I'm 6'8". It's true what they say. It's gravity.
I honestly didn't realize how huge of advantage it is until 10 years ago when I was in my late 20's.
That's when people started pointing things out about what it was like going out with me...things I just assumed always happened to everyone.
Examples:
ALL eyes come to me, automatically. Literally every person in any place will look at me when I walk through. That can be annoying.
Crowds part. I thought people were just nice, until a buddy said something about how unbelievable it was walking through a crowded bar with me.
Bartenders notice you very quickly, and remember your drink.
Girls come to you, after varying amounts of time side-eye glancing you to death. It does not matter at all that I'm married. They will usually refer to my dick in some obscure way within 3 minutes of conversation.
Girls like being around you because it makes them feel more valuable. Again-- crowds part, they get looked at more, etc.
Negatives: There's always one drunk that wants to fight. Always. Also, the questions/jokes get old. Planes suck.
Obviously, I don't control my height. Being 275lbs doesn't hurt and I work hard for that.
So what's the point of this masturbatory post?
To let you know that height is one of the most important factors in a man's life. Tall = alpha. Instantly. No matter what your personality, you will always be favorably looked upon if you are tall. If you are tall, have more children. If you are short, don't have children.

Hi /fit/.
I'll start off by saying I've posted about this before, and have been a long-time browser and poster of this board. I'm 5'9" (inb4 manlet), 175 and low bodyfat, because of you guys. However, I come to you with another issue. This one is me asking for help from a community that's meant so much to me over the years. It's going to be a little long so bear with me, and if you stay with me till the end, please, any advice you give will be really appreciated. It all started when I was little:
>be me, 7
>play baseball like everybody
>strike out at two outs at during the last inning in the last game of the season
>given participation trophy
>13
>play tackle football
>had one play ever and dropped the ball
>13 again
>wanted to run cross country
>times sucked and I had horrible lung capacity
>13 for the third time
>find my father, who was my best friend and biggest fan, dead in his bed from a heart attack out of nowhere
>14-17
>go to public school where I am bullied
>go to private school where I never found friends
>have lots of acquaintances, no friends
>get no girls
>lift in my spare time because I have nothing else to do
>battle with severe depression over my dad
>want to kill myself
>learn a bit about computers, build them, mess with them, experiment with them, try to learn how to code
>learn some shitty language
>try to teach myself Russian
>fail
>am bad at CoD MWII when everybody at school gets it
>never invited to any Xbox Live parties to play with them
>hardly ever invited to real life parties
>when I do, because life of the party and got as fucked up as possible
>get into college
>lose virginity summer before college

Am I a loser /fit/? I just feel like I'm not good at anything. I feel like I can't learn, like I am destined to be on the wrong side of the winner/loser fence no matter what I do. So, that begs the question that I've asked you guys before. Do I kill myself? Do I admit defeat and end it? I'm out of solutions /fit/. I miss my dad so much and I can't sleep, I feel like my physique is shit, and I'm not very good at anything. I have no fans, nobody rooting for me. I'm alone, except for you guys, which is why I came here. Please, help me.
