any advice? i think ive gotten fucked over by my hip genetics. from my lifts i know ive gotten stronger but my lower body still looks like fucking shit and i dont know if cutting will help
starting to think of blowing my brains out daily

Start cutting. Being skinnyfat and bulking is a bad idea in the first place as you will only be fat for the longest time until you cut. Start cutting until you have a below average amout of fat and then slowly start bulking again.
>>35088251
can i still get stronger while cutting?
i cant even bench 1 plate yet, if i cut wont i just get weaker?
>>35088210
I have the same problem my stomach is getting huge tried cutting at 1500 kcal but didint notice anything more than progress stalling (1 month). Now im eating 3000 kcal a day again and my stats are going up but my stomach is just out of control.
Have always had a problem with my stomach, its basically the only place where i have fat.

>not shadowboxing between sets
not gonna make it
>lifting to make up for being indian
>>35088136
you are supposed to be resting in between sets, not doing cardio.
if you actually rest for 2-3 minutes, you will be able to lift more the next set.
lifting more = making more gains.

Are there any true health concerns with crash dieting(700+kcal/day deficit) if you are not concerned with maintaining mass, have the willpower to sustain it for a period and get all your micros?
I'm estimated at a TDEE of 2250 and I have been in the ball park of 1500 for the past week. I could potentially cut that even more. I know it's mom science that "starvation mode" but I don't know if there is a point of diminishing returns or like a soft cap for dieting like for +hit rating.
Also who starts a cut thanksgiving week.
>>35087851
no.
you will even maintain most LBM if you eat sufficient protein with resistance training.
only problem that can occur is if you are cutting too hard and you are doing lots of cardio, you will start fighting metabolic adaptation, and could stall on weight loss for other reasons too (cortisol levels, w/e)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOHdUNdg7x4
but there is no reason not to crash diet if done intelligently.
there is also no need to crash diet.

Once a beta, always a beta. Look at that fucking hover hand.
I'm a vain man and I allowed myself to become a walking example of reverse progress. Gained 40lbs in a year.
Is this the ultimate sport mixed with gym?
It's excellent in it's own way.
As far as the martial arts go you're missing half of the picture if you don't train take-downs or ground game.
As far as bodily capability, I would add in flexibility training and tae-kwon-do for their kick variety, but that's just me.
It's not the martial art that will save your life in Detroit, but it's fun and a great workout
Been boxing for 3 months, it's great, but I keep getting my ass kicked
>Tfw terrible guard
>Tfw not afraid to go aggressive, but keep letting my guard down, so more experienced boxers rek me everytime
Still working on it, tho
Can I eat uncooked oatmeal?
>>35087615
yeah, if you're a goat or something
Ground it up and put it in your post workout shake and prepare for dem gainz
>>35087615
yes, raw oats are GOAT
i like to eat a handful of em with a bit of raisins.
shit is like an oatmeal raisin cookie, but better.
fresh grapes go good with raw oats too.. hell almost all fruit does.
ultimate carb-loading on a bulk, imo.. can eat fucktons of calories worth of that shit
I'm new to fitness and I desperately need to bulk up. I don't even know how to do deadlifts properly. Should I pay a trainer in a gym I'm about to start going to money to make me a program when there are so many on the internet? Or should I do my own research and just ask the trainer to show me how to do them moves?
>>35087487
Do your own research. Start by reading the sticky.
Read the fucking sticky you piece of shit

Does /fit/ think bro split is a gud for aesthetics?
>inb4 pls jef
Jeff pls go
>>35087426
he looks close to Mike O'Tren in this pic
except he is 70lbs lighter
>the magic of photoshop
brosplit ain't bad
you improve in strength by training each lift 1x per week, but 2x is just way better
and problem is it's not for beginners who have shit stats
chest+arms
legs+core
shoulders+back
rest
repeat
>>35087426
>be on a proper 4 day split, never miss out on anything, good sleep, good nutrition
>stop giving a fuck and start a "bro split"
>do push/pull/rest/push/pull/legs/rest
>finally get aesthetic
I haven't improved my bench press almost at all for a month. What do?

Hey /fit/

>>35087412

>>35087412

Running is so hard.
How do you guys do it? Should I be walking more first?
I'm 300lbs of man. I can jiggle jog for like 5 minutes before dying. I've lost a fair amount from dieting, but running isn't getting easier.
how do I keep going
The mind is willing but the body is dying.
>>35087248
Walk until you're around 190lbs then run. Good luck
>>35087248
>300lbs of man
Be careful you could fuck up your knees running.Lift weights then as you become a healthier weight you'll bea able to run withought messing your shit up.Since your fat as fuck you might even start with alright lifts.Though do realize 3 plate squat is not impressive when you way more than it.
You're going to absolutely destroy your knees, just stop and go use an elliptical trainer or diet some more
Should I go to Mcdonalds today? I figured I would get 20 chicken nuggets +3 dips and 2 chicken burgers. I already drank 1L of milk this morning so I would hit my caloric goal
Toughts?
>>35087185
Oh and forgot, dubs decide
>>35087185
when you need to ask anime filled fitness image board whether or not you should eat chicken nuggets, youve gone too far
Why don't you just by some good food instead?

Why are you guys promoting the rice meme again?
you need to squat more
Rice also tastes like shit
Not sure why anyone likes it
