I'm just planning to start gym next week. Lurking about /fit/ stuff, I downloaded Starting Strength book and started reading about.
But, to fully read the book, I'll took a long time to finish. So, my question is: I really have to read all parts or can I skip a few (just jump to "how to do" part instead of reading all "neuromuscular system" before)?

I want to build a kit set car, ill skip the why everything needs to be a certain way and just start bolting it together
The car will work but I won't have learnt anything about why or how a car works
fuck off new years faggot
I've Read SS a few times and I never understood one certain part.
It mentions how your lifts will be which ratio from your body weigh (at minimun) but never states 1. If those are 1RMs and 2.if it's off your starting bodyweight or current bodyweight
I get told I have a nice back, but idrk.
So, can other people post pics of their back so I have some reference?
Also, possible workouts with dumbbells?
>>35243606
Is this you? Or did you just take his hair?
>>35243661
>Is this you?
Would you like another pic for proof?
>>35243717
Let me explain to you what the other anon was trying to ask.
>>35243661 was asking if you were the same person as in the pic that they posted. Nobody is doubting that is you in the OP pic. Anon just thought that you may have resembled the gentlemen in the photo.
I just ate a bunch of shit food this weekend guys. Someone kill me im never going to make it.
I think i went 2000cals over my daily limit. Im a failure what should i do now? How bad is this going to fuck up my progress?
>>35243528
>I think i went 2000cals over my daily limit.
you didnt
>Im a failure what should i do now?
go back to your plan
>How bad is this going to fuck up my progress?
at worst a week setback
get back up faggot
>>35243567
>you didn't
I was close. If I didn't eat anything all day tomorrow would that help soften the damage done?
So here's the thing. How much of today's population is considered overweight? 60 percent?
Now I'm overweight. Nothing like what we see in fat hate threads or Tumblr, and I am doing stuff about it, so I'll never be Boogie mode. But when I mention my being fat to people, they turn around and say "you're not fat". It pisses me off to no end. Yes I am fat, yes it's my fault, yes I am responsible for my own decisions, no I don't want people stepping on egg shells because they don't want to hurt my feelings.
I get it, people are being nice, and I'm no Tess Holliday, but with so many people in the west packing on the pounds it seems like we've lost perspective on health and beauty standards.
So I have a question. If you are/were fat at some stage were there people with good intentions who would tell you you weren't fat, even though you packed the extra chin and your tummy bounced when you poked it? And what are your thoughts on this?
>>35243343
I've never been fat
I don't pay attention to what others say. I stay in shape for me and me alone. Listening to others opinions on my body doesn't help me or motivate me.
>>35243343
Was fat in middle and first half of highschool. I'm not advocating bullying, because that's pretty shitty, but there were very few of my peers that were 'supportive' or whatever of my fat.
My parents were always like "you're not fat".
Lost weight and actually had a pretty nice looking lean face/body by senior year.
>lifting 3 years
>still the same ugly virgin loser
who /notgonnamakeit/ here?
Play a teamsport dude
you got it wrong m8
>>35243029
How will this fix my problems?
>deadlift and squat on different, consecutive days
>OHP and bench on the same day
Why does fit love PPL so much?
what is that picture
If you're putting up serious numbers, you won't be able to squat and deadlift to your full capacity on the same day
>>35243024
that's a chess set
/mental health/ general?
How are you holding up, /fit/?
Talk about it, let it out.
>>35243006
Wife cheated on me a bunch. Getting a divorce. Spending all my time getting fit. I am like a beat dog in social situations and afraid of people getting close to me. Trying to get over it. Sucks shit.
>>35243048
God damn. Is the divorce at least in your favor?
>Want to break up with gf becuase relationship is dead
>She has family tragedy happen so I stick around to try and support her and make the relationship work
>She cheats on me 6 mo later
>Now pregnant with anchor baby from Mexican who she cheated on me with
>Most days I feel good about being out of that shitty relationship, and me not having to break up with her
>Some days feel like shit about being cheated on
Hey /fit/ new here. I'm 6'5" and 350 lbs. Wanna lose significant weight in 4-5 months. Any help?
Eat at a deficit and do cardio. It is incredibly easy as long as you have the dedication.
>>35243012
Sorry for being new, but eating at a deficit means taking less calories than I should in a day? And what length of workout?
>>35243012
lol you didnt tell him to read the sticky,props.
Anyone know a message board were I can talk with people who actually lift and know what their talking about? /FIT/ seems too overpopulated with fags.
/r/fitness and misc are what are brought up every time this thread is made.
Good luck OP, I wish I could leave with you.
the misc
What's the best alcohol to consume?
Beer when bulking. Liquor and diet (or straight) when cutting. Always in moderation.
none
sugar alcohols
Do you guys take refeed days when cutting? I've heard that you can eat your maintenance caloric intake once at week. This with the objective of give the body a rest and enhance your fat loss. Thoughts?
>>35242898
>Do you guys take refeed days when cutting
no
just cut with less deficit u tard
err
depends how aggressive your diet is
if you're cutting @ 1k deficit a day then I don't see why you couldn't bring it up to maintenance by increasing your carbs for a day.
keep in mind it has to be all carbs, and your dietary fat needs to be kept at pretty much baseline.
i.e. no cake, icecream, chocolate.
just straight carbs.
if nothing else it'll refill glycogen.
Re feed only applies to diets where you reduce or cut carbs and is just for restocking your glycogen
How much will you lose if you dont lift for 6 months?
>>35242870
A lot, but muscle memory is a thing, you will regain probably a good portion if you come back consistently, so stopping is a bad thing.
Why did Gohan become such a lil bitch?
more than you would want to
>reported the guy who slams the weights deadlifting to front desk
>Strike up casual convo with him and act shocked when he tells me he's banned from deadlifting
>>35242769

I punched a baby once and skipped the twice this week.
>see guys doing a bro split at the gym
>tell him, "

/fit/s opinion on sumo physique?

No one can appreciate sumo in /fit/
look at this god.

I've seen discussion here of their soup broth thing for bulking.
I watched an MMA match with Emmanuel Yarborough and the guy could move pretty damn well all things considered. He did lose though. I feel like being so big you have to walk a distance race is too big too, so I'm not intending to become one
