Signing up for Planet Fitness today; it's the only gym in my area. How bad is it really
bump i guess
It's awful. The money spent on buying used gym equipment in craigslist is worth it after being there. But if you're a stone cold beginner fatty then go for it I guess.

> been writing OHP weights in notebook 10pounds lighter than what they really were
why 10 pounds, that's a very specific number.
>>36674937
Thought a 25 on each was 85 bc a plate and a 25 on each is 185. Total brainfart. All the other weights were fucked too. 25 and a 5? 95 pounds. Had to rewrite everythinf
Do I look skinny? I think I might have Bigorexia, but to me I still feel like a twink, especially in the mirror. Also BF estimate plzz?
Ur still small m8.start lifting
>>36674143

>>36674110
hyperlordosis maybe
Hey /fit/, I've got a mysterious bruce on my bicep / tricep area, and I am wondering if it were an actual injury would I feel more or is it just the discoloration that indicates it?
>bruce
lol
Don't be a pussy.
does it look anything like this?
give me three good reasons why i need anything more than the leg press to develop good-looking, sturdy legs
>>36673718
your height
your max squat
your shit genes
>>36673802
>>36673802
that doesnt even make sense, and i dont care about "max squat" i just want to have legs that look good
>>36673824
>legs that look good
the leg press is for the quads mainly.
Calves, and hamstrings barely fit in this exercise.

How the fuck did i gain 10 lbs in five days of eating at a 300 surplus?
I'm eating 250 carbs 80 fat 165 protein at 2550, i'm 5'11 160-165 lbs (Was five days ago when i last check my weight)
I never read the sticky, but I'm pretty sure it discusses water weight somewhere. Regardless, how new to bodybuilding are you, if you haven't learned that your weight fluctuates depending on water retention and other things then you are too new to post on my Scandinavian fishing forum. REEEEEEEEE
>>36673683
water and poop, my man. my weight fluctuates +-8lbs during the course of a week.
>>36673731
average person has 1.8 litres of glycogen in their muscle & liver.
1.8 L = 1.8kg = 4lb.
thats if you start completely carb depleted.
So what do you think of this lady's dietary advice, looks and prose style?
>At 8am, I had a warm, morning chi drink on my way to the school drop off, drunk in the car! It contains more than 25 grams of plant protein, thanks to vanilla mushroom protein and stone ground almond butter, and also has the super endocrine, brain, immunity, and libido- boosting powers of Brain Dust, cordyceps, reishi, maca, and Shilajit resin. I throw ho shou wu and pearl in as part of my beauty regime. I chase it with three quinton shots for mineralization and two lipospheric vitamin B-complex packets for energy.

Shes fucked
looks like some meme diet that your mother and all her coworkers would try, fail and say nothing works and keep being fat
I know they removed the "health" part from fitness, but this is the board i think i can give the best help and where i can met people who have overcome this problem.
I'm addicted to picking my skin on my fingers around the nails and my acne in the face. Its freaking gross but i cant seem to stop it, feels like a trance-like state where i will only feel good until its done. Most time i start to bleed on my fingers. I guess its anxiety related to some part but my mental health is becoming much better, quit hard drugs, started working out and got a job and social life but this problem only seems to get worse. Will appreciate any help!
Therapy time
next time slap yourself in the face
Keep your nails filed short to minimize the damage you can do. Find another socially acceptable way to occupy your hands, like keeping a worry stone in your pocket and rubbing it instead of picking.
I have a similar issue, where I bite the inside of my cheeks and lip skin. Chewing gum really helps because it occupies the time I would otherwise spend biting.

>be black
>britbong
>walking back home from gym
>take the alley by the park
>see 3 Somalians trying to rob a white boy
>feel sorry for him
>even post-gym I could probably take them on
>get closer, they notice me and look tentative
>Tell them "Oi you man, allow him init"
>One of them agrees
>"l-let him go"
>white boy gets released, scuttles past
They probably robbed him after I left to be fair.
It's all well and good lifting for sloots, but I tell you lads, you better train to protect yourselves. I won't lie, it was an eye-opener for me too...
Is I'm a nigger btw the new I'm a girl btw?
>going out at night in Bongistan

How is that possible? Post pic
Fat hate thread, didn't see one in the catalog
Oh look it's going to be another thread full of horrible nasty body shamers who are all closet misogynists.
You are contributing to eating disorders and UNREALISTIC body expectations in young women
Pic related is me, say any of this shit to a woman around my presence and you're getting knocked out. I am a defender of the oppressed and not afraid to admit it
>>36674343
Yeah gr8 b8 m8
Glad we got the bait post out of the way early. Now on with the thread...
>been drinking heavily 6-7 days a week for the past nine months or so
>on my low days I would "only" have six drinks
>on my high days I would finish two thirds to three quarters a handle (.75 L) of vodka or gin
>recently it's really been affecting my gains and motivation, and I've put on a lot of unnecessary fat
>tried tapering off a couple of times, but found the temptation way too high if I had extra booze in the house
>decide to just stop cold turkey a couple of days ago
>first day after no drinking I felt great
>slept great, clear headed, high energy
>yesterday feel great again, but get a couple of really strong cravings for alcohol that I power through and ignore
>today I feel woozy and out of it
>sweating like a god damn pig even though it's only 60* F in the house
>no motivation to do anything
>just want to go back to bed even though I got nine and a half hours of sleep last night
Please tell me this will pass, this is worse than the cravings. It's like the day after a really heavy night's drinking, just without any of the fun of getting shitfaced.
>>36673166
Don't worry, alcohol withdrawal isn't dangerous but your body can hold on a to a lot of excess water after a long binge. Try to only drink about 200-500 mL of water a day for a week or so, good luck brah we're all gonna make it.
>>36674960
alcohol withdrawal is legitimately one of the only withdrawals that can kill you.

Fuck, I've already had like a gallon and a half. Is that bad? Thanks for replying.
>>36675005
I think he meant at my length of intake. I haven't been doing this for a decade, or even a year, so I don't think I'll die.
Does anyone else dress like a fucking bum when they go to the gym?
I see people wearing all sorts of fancy ass clothing when I go to the gym now and I'm starting to feel like an underclass pleb.
>>36673070
ive lost like 50lbs and still wear the same clothes, so i have shitty tshirts draped around me like a toga most of the time
>>36673070
I found if I dress nice to the gym. I fee better. When I feel better I am stronger. When I am stronger I have better lifts. It's just a chain reaction for me. All starts with how I look at the gym
wear one of 4 plain t-shirts, 1 of 2 hoodies ive been wearing for past 5 yrs, 1 of 2 gym sweatpants
niggas these days dress up to go to the gym, but they get no gains
