pretty retarded to be honest. If you want to add a little weight to strengthen your core you can wear a weighted vest or backpack.
Welcome friends, to dangies first /fit/ thread. I am, starting tomorrow, getting in shape. My stats:
20 years old
191cm (6'2")
180 lbs
My body is not good. I have a gut and just look like shit. I might have the worst body on 4chan. I have narrow shoulders. My biggest fear is ending up looking like that meme guy who has narrow shoulders and wide hips.
For the next month or so I am going to significantly improve my diet and begin getting in shape. Running every day, doing pushups/situps/pullups. Might incorporate some lifting in but I think it would be best to create some base strength before beginning that.
I have been sedentary for two years ever since fracturing a vertebrae in my neck playing hockey. I have never been in good shape but I have always been athletically gifted. Best runner in school, high calibre hockey player, etc.
I read the sticky and I don't know how helpful it is for me. Anyway here is a picture of my body in its current state.
SS or something with cardio.
Also do you live in a fucking RV??
>>34845859
ugly freak
>>34845859
Looks like something from a horror movie!
Officially been two years since I've had soft drinks of any kind /fit/
What's your current status? You haven't cheated, have you?
>>34845768
I drink diet. A glass a day or every other day. Long gone are the chugging 2 liters during my fat kid days. Otherwise it's water, coffee, or tea.
I had a diet root beer last week, and before that it was months without any soft drink.
Also last night I had a couple swigs of Coke to go with some shots of rum (two drinks I really don't like but my friend bought them and I'm not that much of an autistic buzzkill to not drink with them)
I've cut down from 4 cups of coffee and 4 diet cokes to 1 of each every day. It took me about a month.
Is drinking 2l of water a day good or just a meme?
could you imagine getting a bad case of the paranoids while sitting in the ISS.

Yeah, you'd have a lot of space to worry about things.

Switch to making the right choices, and remember that suicide is a permanent
solution to a temporary problem. Cultivate faith and spirituality. Every day you should try
to tidy up or otherwise clean your house/living space for an hour, minimum. There will
always be something you can do. If there's nothing cluttering the floor, table or desk,
wash your bedsheets. If your whole room is clean, organize the files you have on your PC.
If there really is nothing left that needs doing, if your stovetop burners are sparkling,
your room neat and tidy, and the floors swept and vacuumed, organize your belongings and
improve your space aesthetically.
If you are wondering why I am telling you to start doing housework for an hour a
day as an answer to a fitness problem, here's why: I am not sure you are an undisciplined
individual, but I am pretty darn close. If you were disciplined and healthful in your
living, you would not weigh as much as you do. That is alright, you cannot change the past,
but from this point on that kind of lifestyle must become unacceptable. By cleaning every
day you will develop the motivational muscles you sorely need, and eventually the
discipline needed to train effectively. No need to go crazy off the bat with exercise,
start with your diet and eating habits.
Improve your relationship with food. This can be done gradually. I imagine you eat
emotionally; alleviating bad feeling with crap food is the most basic definition of a toxic
relationship with food I can think of. When you eat to antidote negative emotion, you are
digging the hole doubly deeper - you're adding a new problem, junk food, while the original
unhealthy emotional state remains unresolved. By cultivating an understanding and feeling
for your food, which happens naturally when you start preparing your own meals from
scratch, you can begin to heal this toxic relationship. It will not happen quickly. Do not
be discouraged if you backslide, but never use a backslide as an excuse to do even worse.
If you keep trying, and put in the work preparing your own meals from scratch from whole
food ingredients, you will see results. I can guarentee this - if you are making meals from
whole foods and doing anything short of deep-frying racks of ribs on top of potatoes
gratin, you will lose weight. The caloric content to satiety rate in processed food is
terrible - plain terms, you have to eat more crap food to feel full, crap food that is
already more dense calorically than home-cooked meals. Once again, you're doubling up on
the negatives. Very few meals you cook from scratch CAN even possibly match the caloric
density of modern processed food. Swtitching over to a heavily plant-based whole food diet
has so many benefits I can't even begin to get into them here, but be sure if you only take
away one thing from this post, it's this.
There's a tendency on this board to view motivation and discipline as character traits
whose set levels just vary from individual to individual, and whatever your personal traits
are end up being what you have to work with. This is false. This is a fallacy. Repeat:
discipline and motivation, like every other aspect of fitness, must be trained. Very very
few people have no problems with this whatsoever. If you are not one of these lucky
individuals, and if you are obese you are almost certainly not of them, must grow a greater level of discipline over time. If you have ever wondered why so many people buy a gym membership and quit after six weeks, or why less than ten percent of obese individuals who lose weight end up keeping it off long term, it is because they bought into the fallacy.
You cannot expect to turn into a hard-headed iron pumping beast with level 100 stoicism
overnight, but, again, make the right choices over and over again, and progress will come.
Clean your space every day until it becomes automatic, under your awareness. This is eventually how an excercise regimen can feel.You will feel resistant at first, cleaning
for an hour will seem like way too long, and you will think of 100 reasons to quit early
because the job is already done. This is the poisonous part of your brain, the part that
got you obese in the first place. Do not continue to rent it space in your skull. Every
day, do the work, real work, for the whole hour. Go more if you can, but you don't have to.
Make sure to count this hour seperate from any chores you already have in a routine
already, if you start bullshitting your timekeeping you will fail. Remember when you are tempted to skimp or count some time extra, you are feeding that toxic homunculus, you are hurting only yourself, and the only way to succeed at this is to be totally honest with
your mistakes and yourself while putting in the work.
You may be thinking right now that all this sounds like a "one easy trick" sidebar ad to solve all your problems, and you may not be wrong. The difference is is that this process will not be easy. You will start and stop and fail and stall if you are anything like a human. This is normal. Success is the sum of many, many right answers to the small choices in life. It is important not to think to heavily in terms of black and white - this is the other big way that people get discouraged when starting out at making healthy choices. You've probably heard the story, and if you are obese you may have lived it; fatty decides to get healthy, fatty eats one salad a day for a week while running on the treadmill, after a week they miss one workout or eat one wrong thing, declare the whole thing bust, and binge on five pounds of fudge. That is what black-and-white thinking looks like, this is what letting one setback lead to another looks like, this is letting the greedy homonculus in your frontal lobe call the shots.If you make a mistake, accept it, try to understand it, but, fairly quickly, move on. Beating yourself up for your mistakes, especially if like many obese individuals you have depressive tendencies, is something that can very quickly lead to a spiral of guilt and shame that leads only down. Probably the no. 1 waste of productive energy in my life has been this pit, and if I could tell my past self any one thing, it would be learn to let it go and cultivate equanimity. SO yeah, avoid black and white thinking. Success is not a perfect batting average, success is having an average that's always going up. I really don't know much about baseball, but the point of the metaphor is that one screwup is not the end of the world, unless you let it change your mind and influence you toward bad choices. A fuckup can only hurt you if you let it. It is incredibly empowering to know that only you have the ultimate control in this.

Hey,
TL:DR;
185LB 5'9" - chunky. Lifting heavy, Eating 1000 calories/day. I can easily sustain it for a month or so. I'm 2 weeks deep. Trying to lean down.
Is that an issue? Is it safe for only 1 month?
bump?
I did this for 4 weeks. Started at 190. Stopped at 170. I did 2 1/2 workouts everyday and only ate 1 meal/day and it was usually like 2 big salads. After a while your body gets used to it. You'll lose a fuck ton of weight. At least I did
>>34845920
>I did 2 1/2 workouts
You what?
Let's say tomorrow is my first day at gym.
Let's say I'm moderately strong for a couch potato and willing to push myself for hard lifts.
How much should I attempt to lift for:
-deadlift (1 rep, no dropping)
-squat (1 rep)
-bench (5 reps)
-clean & jerk (no dropping)
And how much should I attempt to add after each successful lift?
>>34845478
>deadlift - 4pl8
>squat - 3pl8
>bench - 2pl8
>c+j - 1pl8
did you not read the sticky?
>>34845577
I said first day at gym not first day on /fit/, cmon baka desu senpai
>>34845478
I jk, but seriously. Doesn't matter how much you lift the first time, get your form down and build the weight up gradually. If you prioritise weight over form then prepare to become a resident of snap city.

Nothing macro related. You're just getting tasty carcinogens. Who gives a fuck though? You should enjoy the time you have on this mortal plane.
>>34845025
well, it makes red meat even more amazing than usual, the chicken will always be bland in comparison.
you should try cooking with wood, it's even better!
I actually prefer a stove top chicken vs a grilled one. Steaks on the other hand omg slap my silly grilled masterrace.

Need to start weight training at least 3 days a week. What, in your opinion, is the best option for me? Just shut up and lift heavy weights or is there a more specific routine that would help?
You should have a trainer to tell you how to work out, retard OP.
>>34844578
Just an ammy right now so no personal trainer.
So, fucking chicken.
My question is, what are its actual macros?
Averaging what I've seen online, it seems 8oz is about 220 calls and 46g of protein, but this just can't be right, can it?
