Gymnasium then (Ancient Greece)
>literally means "to train naked", so everybody can appreciate the glorious male body and pay tribute to the Gods
>open air, exposure to the sun (D3, healthy tanning, fresh air), calming sounds of nature
>philosophers often held lectures around the gymnasium and intellectual discussions were encouraged between athletes, public libraries were nearby, as the Greeks considered physical health/training and education/intellectual training as intrinsically complementary
>ultimate goal was to honor the Gods, pursue introspection and learn about self-discipline, the natural and moral way
>no women allowed, as they of course belonged in the kitchens, homosexuality was proudly accepted as a logical lifestyle, since men were rightfully viewed as the superior gender
'Gyms' now
>People wearing ugly clothes that hide the body, symbols of consumerist vanity and capitalist excess, sponsors/brand logos everywhere, typically "frat bro" sense of style with overly tight tanktops and stupid ironic taglines
>closed buildings in concrete towers, air conditioner, loud lowest-common denominator radio pop "music", vulgar "bitches & money"-obsesed hip-hop or anger-fueled satan-worshipping rocknroll
>meatheads spouting broscience, "yo bro did you watch the game last night?", bragging about unrewarding sexual intercourses with drunk club harlots
>ultimate goal is to have abs to impress women, men are turning into self-obsessed metrosexuals, fitness culture is plagued by vanity, anti-intellectualism and marketing scams, steroids are commonplace, beauty standards became distorted thanks to steroids bodybuilding (the ugly, veined, dry skin look), cardio and health are frowned upon
>dumb women trying to distract serious athletes while doing useless routines, homosexuality has become an ironic meme "no homo" as if something to be ashamed of when men are objectively superior to women and it's perfectly logical to prefer them

Once physical fitness was no longer a required trait for the vast majority of men, fitness culture was destined for decline.

This study shows 20-25% deficit is better than lower.
What deficit do you run and why?
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25028999
Also general cutting. Meals etc. Do you change your routine while cutting?

I don't count my calories like an autistic dyel.
I just eat less when I'm cutting and try to act less like a fat fuck.
If I'm losing weight too slowly, I eat even less. If I'm losing weight too quickly, I eat a little bit more. It's mostly by feel.
>>
>>35165829
Enjoy your catabolic state
>>
>>35165818
looks like I'm running at least a 27% deficit most days
I just don't have the motivation to eat more once I've had my protons (which is weird since I used to be such a fatass)
guess I may as well branch out to some fattier sources of protein

>Eating at a 1000cal deficit
>Have gained 4 kilos over the past 3 weeks
W-what the fuck is going on here /fit/? I'm weighing my food and calculating my intake every day, I know I'm not making a mistake if anything I'm conservative and probably eat ~200 cals less than what I enter into my app.
For the record:
Height: 6'6"
Weight: 135kg
Cals per day: 1800
Typical days meal is:
Breakfast -
Piece of Toast with Butter + Protein Shake
Lunch -
Fruit Salad
Yoghurt
Dinner -
Pasta or Steak/Chicken with veg
Does anyone have any idea whats happening here? How can I gain 4 kilos when I've been eating 1000cals less than I use for over 3 weeks?

Possible, I guess? Unlikely though. I was thinking some kind of hormonal water retention would be causing it.
Is there something wrong with constantly feeling the urge to drink water?
I know you can technically drink too much of it, but if you aren't hitting that limit is there anything wrong with high consumption of water? My freshmen year of college I would down a bottle each class, with 4 classes a day and maybe two bottles or so throughout the day when I got home. I heard thirst may be due to diabetes and I am a bit overweight but recently had blood work done and everything came back clear. I remember in high school I would never drink water and pound down can after can of soda, but the thirst for water, or a beverage for that matter was not like it is now for me.
Tl;dr
Is having a high thirst for water even though you know you're hydrated a possible medical issue?

I mean you could do like leg press and ham curls but they aren't nearly as good of an exercise as squats are.

when it comes to the line up with brad pitt it has nothing to do with his muscle mass or leanness, it's his "sexy" pose and insertions and the fact that it's an iconic picture so they know it's brad.

+1. Piss poor research.

Pretty much this desu the only guys in the lineup who don't look like shit are Brad and Zane
But Zane is 'too big' for the average chick and Brad is a movie star

19 was supposed to be my FUCKING year /fit/. Now I'm here, and I don't feel that I've grown in any way (intellectually, spiritually, etc.) I'm in a degree program that I'm not sure about, I'm concerned about my future career, I'm physically weak, I'm going to be non-teenage virgin, I constantly try to change but last mere days before sliding back into mediocrity. I can't remember the last time I was truly proud of something I did. Get in here /fit/, tell me how you made it, or how you are making it. What changed? I'm tired of the BS that is my life.

I mean if you're trying to bulk you should be eating 4-6 times a day. 1.5-2 hours before you start your workout and immediately afterwards.

Been lifting for about almost two years only using creatine monohydrate and protein supplements. Gymbro/trainer recommended it was time I started a test booster. I tend to read up a shit ton on anything I put in my body but I can't seem to grasp if this would be beneficial, or even worth it if it were.
What are the risks of test boosters, if any, for a 19 y/o male at 6' 155lbs (no legs mode)
I'm looking at 1XD Test Boost and N'Fuze Creatine combo. Any thoughts?
