About a week ago I started cutting and only eating 1500 calories a day.
Now that I've started sports again I'm going to be burning a lot of calories from cardio.
I still want to cut but I'm wondering if I should add calories or use this has a chance to lose the weight even faster.

add 500 calories at most, if you still want to cut while playing sports.

I'm black, it's the lighting you retard. I don't think that helps my case when /pol/tards lurk thid board but I don't give a shit
Just wondering what footwear /fit/ wears to the gym.
Im currently in runners but iv been told with squats and leg shit you should wear something flatter like chucks or indoor soccer shoes.
>>42458223
Not sure why anyone would wear anything else
>>42458243
I like to wear my deadlifts socks over my toe shoes, it gives me a more reactive feel when snatching,

What's the ideal cardio I can do without leaving my bedroom?
>>42458208
sex
Jumping jacks or burpees, if you have a solid floor and no one lives below you.
Buy a treadmill
Contraversial topic: men who don't go to the gym to look like this are cucks with inferior genetics who will never make it. If you want a woman that's not a waifu pillow you have to lift. What's your excuse?

>Contraversial topic
that's the truth though.
Why do I feel my chest muscles pushing whenever I take a breath??
Breathe into your balls.
>two small to get to the pull up bar in my gym without jumping or using a box

jump or use a box
why are you being a bitch?
same problem but im 6'0. why do they put it so high
Hello /fit/
I haven't gone to the gym properly in several months now. I've lost weight, mostly fat, from 99kg(218lbs) to 90kg now, but I'm worried all my lifts will have gone down, I've lost a lot of muscle, etc. etc.
I'm recovering from depression and anxiety (had electroshock almost 2 years ago now) and need to learn to self motivate and control my anxiety/fear.
Every time I think of going to the gym or get in my car to drive there, I can physically feel my chest tense up and my heart beat faster. I get scared of going in and scared of exercising.
I don't know why. I'm not self conscious. I'm not worried about what others think of me. BUt I just feel like I'm not going to make progress, that I'm wasting my time, that I'm doing everything wrong, etc. Being in the gym makes me panicky and claustrophobic, and I second-guess every motion that I do.
I'm seeing a psychologist, working on meditation, and taking antidepressants. I'm trying to get back on the horse and on my way to looking large and fit, rather than weirdly skinnyfat (pic related is me 3 weeks ago at 92kg-ish)
I've just started taking steps to join the weightlifting/powerlifting club at my uni, and I'm looking for helpful advice on both fitness and managing anxiety.
thanks in advance /fit/
I don't see a question.
Diet and lose the fat, you won't be anxious anymore.
>>42458042
....I'm not anxious about my appearance. I'm recovering from a serious mental illness.
Pic related is my weight loss. I don't need your help with that- not that you were offering anything other than edge

Do you want to make it? Just remember, it's not about how hard/much you lift, it's about sheer will of improving yourself.
You already came a long, 9kg isn't bad, but don't delude yourself, it doesn't get easier BUT YOU HAVE TO WANT TO MAKE IT.
Be careful with antidepressants, I'd avoid psychopharmaca at all costs, if you can function without them, since they have so many adverse effects on body and mind.
I'm honest with you, you don't even look that bad, you look better than half the people I see at the gym and you trying to improve yourself makes you 1000% more attractive! I believe in you, anon. You can make it.
Maybe try taking a friend with you to the gym for the first few weeks, to get the mental barrier out of they way..
>tfw your plan to go and push heavy things around is thwarted by your immune system
hop on immunosuppressants
Is there a downside in eating some once a week? I don't do it, I very rarely eat candies (only if I go to a party for exemple).
But I gotta admit it tastes good.
Just do Starting Strength faggot. No one needs some Reddit meme program.
>>42457747
fuck this chart is the biggest reddit thing ive ever seen... jeez
>>42457747
if you do this you might end up looking like you lift with non-laughable bench numbers
Looks like a better alternative than most of the /fit/-approved programs.
So have we reached a consensus on the egg to yolk?
It would be the first consensus on anything fitness related
Egg yolks are fine as long as you are active and it can benefit test, if you aren't active the cholesterol content will cause artery problems

into the bin it goes
When I used to drink coca cola I felt good, even when I was sad I chugged down 1 litre of coca cola and got that artifical happiness and strong boner. Now I just drink water and I don't feel that good.
It's just sugar and caffeine op. You might be in withdrawal - just be strong....
>>42457680
yeh because now u dont have as much sugar running through you. eat fruits instead which is natural sugar and vitamin and minerals instead and u will get ur sugar levels back up :)
If you really feel you're dealing with caffeine withdrawals just replace it with coffee.
Even a cup of coffee with 2 sugars and a splash of heavy cream is gonna be half the calories and a massive fraction of the sugar intake.
Literally going to bed feeling hungry every single night.
But I'm finally getting lean for the first time in 6 years of lifting.
Dunno how people who are lean do this, does it get easier? I'm literally hurting in bed with hunger every night until 3-4AM until I finally fall asleep. Good thing I'm a NEET and don't have to wake up for work, or else this wouldn't be possible.
eat a bit more. move around a lot more.
stay 20% below tdee.
you shouldn't hurt from eating too little.
>>42457509
Well, be grateful coz I'm hungry and I'm not lean.
You can always "'snack'" on chewing gum
>>42457730
don't do this, you'll lose momentum and end up a fat cunt again in no time
and yes, it does get easier. a few years ago I was a bit chubby and ate around 3000kcals per day. when I cut back I was hungry all the time but no I'm a lean cunt and don't feel hungry if I eat 2000kcals. it takes about a year to get used to it though.

You ever seen him training or out on the beach?

Weight gain fetish guy here, I'll never understand why feedee's go to such crazy lengths. Even the middle is a bit much for me, I just want to watch skinny girls get a little bit of a belly and bigger tits and ass. Think THICC with a slight belly.
Get a feeder fetish boyfriend.
Easy to find on Craigslist.

can you imagine marrying her and it turns into that after a year or so..
