A lot of people seem to shit on the idea of drastic cuts; however, I feel like I'm constantly yoyo-ing. I've been going pretty balls to wall (~1000 calories, IF with 6 hour eating window, only carbs coming from occasional fruit and sweet potatoes). As long as I keep lifting, am I JUST going to fuck my shit up?
5'9" and 180 pounds, trying to escape being a fatass. I haven't really had many problems so far. First two weeks were rough, but cravings for most carbs, sugar and other bullshit are mostly gone. I know that this isn't long time, but if I can hang on for two or three months, am I risking anything as long as I get my protein?
*long-term, fuck

If you need to lose a lot of fat, muscle loss is unavoidable. But you can make it up later.
Just make sure you're actually eating healthy. ~1000 kcal is pretty low, so if you're getting it from shit sources you'll be doubly fucked.
>1000 calories
jesus christ man... anyways, you should be fine however at some point in the near future you will probably have an energy crash. keep protein high, maybe refeed once a week if you feel like it you should be fine.
caffeine will probably be your bestfriend when the energy loss hits too

Primarily for the purpose of becoming a better athlete on the platform, but all strength sports are welcome!

Yeah, I don't get it. Even when we're on-topic, we get deleted, so what's the point?
Also, I'm getting really tired of J-List trying to sell me sex toys on a SFW board.

>wut
>"yeah I didn't know if it was a man or woman so I said thanks man when they said enjoy your workout.
>"yeah you can never tell these days..."
>I'm probably giving him a weird look at this point.
>he proceeds to tell the shitty excuse of a story AGAIN. he goes so far as explaining that if she was a woman she'd probably be pissed he said man.
>I say "she probably didn't care that much don't worry about it"
>now this is when the autism reaches critical levels.
>feel puzzle pieces falling from the ceiling.
>autismo looks around, and loudly comments "there's an awful lot of dicks in here"
>let that sink in. We're in the men's locker room.
>there's an awful lot of dicks in here

>you autism premates the air like a protein fart, making it hard to breathe.
>lock my shit up and walk away from that autistic mess of a human being.

Uh I uh, almost missed the j-hooks when I was re-racking my squat. Hurt my shoulder a bit, I then just sat down on the floor for a few minutes before going upstairs to get some food.
Yeee haw, homegym master race
Ask a fairly new trainer anything.
What starter did you pick?
>>35685038
Squirtle for an easy first win followed by some real struggle.
>>35685126
>2016
>Not choosing the fire-type starter
I shiggy diggy
On the actual topic of the thread, what sort of certification does it take to be a trainer? How long did it take for you to get certified?
Listening to moaning sounds on my ipod before lifting should put my T through the fucking roof for that workout, right? Right?
>>35685010
Whatever floats you boat, homie. I'm of the mind that ephemeral spikes and dips in hormone levels are nothing to be concerned about, for good or bad.
You probably won't deposit any more lean tissue because of a short-lived spike in testosterone.
>>35685010
If I wanted to hear moaning i would have put a microphone up your moms vagina since the last thing that came out of there was a fucking joke

What is objectively the best stretching routine for fixing squat and deadlift posture?
I can't progress without my fucking shithip and hamstrings from locking and fucking up my flawless form. I'm starting to consider suicide at this point.
Bumping for interest. I have the same issue. More on deadlift than on squat tho.

Why was the last thread deleted? there wasn't any spam or nsfw content in it and the discussion was actually on point.
Lets keep on talking about routines, general questions about tecnique, breathing, whatever you're struggling with or anything related to swimming.
Go back to /v/ with your swimmy shit.
>>35684785
so, I'm a marine. We do survival swimming, and I found I really love it. Can anyone suggest a swimming routine or program to increase general stamina and cardio? Looking for something, beginner to intermediate.
My abilities- I have swam a mile. I did it in 67 minutes using the breast stroke, and I usually swim twice a week for 30 minutes each. Switiching between breast stroke, and freestyle.
are jammers just for competition?
what do you wear in training?

Is an 8 minute mile considered slow?
>>35684592
Average, I guess.
>>35684592
Is it faster than yesterday? Cause that's the real gauge.
>>35684592
The average is 15 mins per mile
WHY
>>35684486
>not having 8000 calories before starting your "diet"
>not getting diabetes to be seen as a proud american citizen
jesus, that's fucking gross. I can understand having a last hurrah of sorts and getting, like, a pizza or something, but that's just disgusting. guarantee this pig fails within 3 days of their new "diet"
What's a dash diet?
