Question m8s
I just got one of those fitness tracker apps and I'm on a cut.
Do I count the total number of calories burned when walking throughout the day? Or do I only count the calories burned when I actually mean to burn them (ie gym, running)
Most apps let you set a multiplier factor for your activity level. Sedentary may multiply your BMR by 1.1 to get the TDEE. Very active may multiple your BMR by 1.9 to get the TDEE.
I cover walking [like to check the mail, or take out the trash] & lifting by setting a general activity level. These are insignificant so I just average it out.
Then if I dedicated cardio, I use mapmyrun app & add those as extra calories, since it could easily require eating 1k calories extra on a given day.

I started using Google Fit since it tracks steps and shit without one of those fitbit things. I use my fitness pal to track calories and meals.
>TFW 40 minutes of heavy ass full body 5×5 sets only burns 60 calories

did skullcrusher a few days ago for the first time, loved it.
>>36688960
Going to the gym tomorrow for my second time, skull crushers good?
>>36688960
I can't do them, for some reason my right elbow makes a strange click sound when i do.
It doesn't hurt but i can "feel" something clicking and i'm worried i'll fuck my elbow up.
This doesn't happen when i do Dips/bench/Ohp
ITT: Post your back
Hey /fit/. I recently nuked my back while at the gym. I have a history of back problems from a few years ago when I used to chuck bags for Delta. It seems like deadlifting and squatting have been causing some pretty big problems for my lower back.
My questions is, are these lifts really that important for the gains? Ive been lifting a little under a year now and I've made some decent progress. Is it possible to keep making progress without those two lifts? If anything I will quit deads and squats for maybe a month or two

Old as f But o well

nice traps
please rate my physique. learning to pose
>>36688596
still obese
Goddamnit
Rich said dick lower than the balls
not nipples lower than the belly button
good job losing all that weight. keep on trucking
Does anyone here actually eat clean?
I mean if you lift and you aren't actively trying to lose weight, you probably have a tdee of 3000 or more.
It is very difficult to eat 3000 cals of whole foods, fruits, and vegetables.
I find I cant do it. About half my cals come from processed stuff like cliff bars and fast food.
No it's not
>>36688384
If your have a full time job and full time university, it's hard
I can eat like 4 sandwiches or more after a decent workout, and I'm skeleton af. You have no excuse.
Tell me, /fit/. How often do you have cheat days?
>be me
>workout and eat clean from Sun - Fri
>cheat on Sat
Literally never if it means going over calories.
Like twice a month if it means eating anything with little nutritional value (like pasta or a tortilla wrap).
>>36688366
once every 2 weeks or whenever i'm feeling overrun from cutting.
it doesn't help at all and i might never do it again.
>>36688389
>>36688420
Seems like cheating is starting to look like a bad idea
Im 22 years robot and i want to join gym.
In last 4 months i lost 15kg but im still fat and now i want to join gym but im afraid of other guys and girls mocking me for bad form and generally noobness.
What do you think when you see fat new guy?
i literally don't fucking care, i saw a guy who literally looked like the fat neckbeard from the WoW meme and i wanted to help his form, but no one listens to dyel shits so whatever
they will all secretly judge the shit out of you have fun
>>36688067
This isn't high school nobody gives a fuck about you. When I see a fatty/autist I never give them a second look.
symmetric strength thread
>tfw SS
>>36687928
it still baffles me why people fall for this every time
especially young guys in high school/college
kinda pointless. unless you have average proportions there's no reason the ratios your between your lifts should be average. also, novices usually have lifts that are all over the place for various reasons

Hi /fit/, outsider here with a question
I'm looking to start a low carb diet (not for gains, but to compensate for my shit metabolism). Problem is I'm a college student and most of the food on campus is carb-heavy fast food. Any advice from people who've maintained ketosis in a similar situation?
Dining hall have a salad bar?
>>36687862
Yeah but the salad sucks. There are other places on campus to get salad though
Just checked Panera, a lot of their salads are surprisingly carb heavy
>>36687895
Do you want to eat clean food or eat a meme restaurant and spend too much money? Either sack up and eat the dining hall salad bar or go to grocery store and buy salad ingredients. Don't go out and buy 9 dollar designer salads that are 1200 calories

Thoughts on dropping overhead press? Why would / why wouldn't you do it?
How am I looking, /fit/? Left was me at the peak of my successful bulk about two months ago and right is me yesterday. Looking for abs before summer.

Get a haircut & shave you ugly motherfucker

Am I out of DYEL mode yet?
Used to be fat and still am kind of self conscious taking my shirt off.
>>36687291

congratulations, you now look to normies like you do a pushup routine
Yes. Not ripped or anything but decent.
You also have a masculine frame.
Now never post one of these threads again unless you want to develop body dysmorphia.

Young Buma
If not then I'll train in Sayian world since they are savages monkeys and make genocide for business. They probably lift like crazy, even the women and children

Talk about squats

>>36687115
Squats are the best movement
Prove me wrong
I've been stalling on 3x5 on 120 kg for a while now. What is the best rep range for intermediate on squats?
