Hey /fit/
I've been developing new revolutionary home gym equipment, I've had a prototype built and looking to expand by getting this into all gyms.
I call it the tank because it makes me look like a tank, I'm a pretty ripped guy and found this worked me more than barbells and dumbells.
Tell me what you think
What happens if you can't complete the rep and need to release the weight?
>>27539261
the next tsunami barbell
>>27539278
I'm so glad you asked, there is an emergency procedure to follow if you are in any danger
How do I fix my anterior pelvic tilt?
Strengthen your glutes
Stretch your hip flexors, hamstrings and lower back.
Strengthen glutes core and hamstrings
Stretch your quads, hip flexors and back.
Front squats are good,reads are good, GHR is fantastic
>>27489261
>Starting Stretching, read the sticky
>Massage groin, hip flexors, quads, hamstrings, IT band daily
>Try not to sit down for more than 1 hour at a time
>When walking (and even sitting) practise posture, squeeze abs and glutes and try to roll pelvis back a bit.
>Foam roll lower back, abs, groin, hip flexors and quads.
Thoracic mobility also helps because practising having a supple and tight upper back brings the hips back naturally.
I've always read that nobody gives a shit about you at the gym but at my gym it's literally everyone like this (pic related). It's in southern Kentucky and people here aren't the nicest.
What hours of the gym have least amount of people? It's open 6am-12am but I wouldn't go at early morning or late at night. I'm thinking 9:30-10:30
OP here, I'm talking 9:30-10:30 AM
Early morning is off hours for any gym.

The obvious answer is to start taking roids so you can fit in.
Write a message to 14 year old self, three lines in greentext.
>drop that basketball practice you are too short for basketball player anyway
>start eating regular meals and whey shakes are not something unnatural
>stay away from smokes and pot your lungs will thank you
>>27459699
I can do it in one
>keep pounding OP's mums dirty slag pussy
>>27459699
hey man, if your path was different, you wouldnt be you, so just keep on brother, no rear-view
>Dont waste your life with the girl youll be with when youre 16, study instead
>Dont order pizza so much, stop being fat in general
>Read up on lifting
Ok, I'm mad I admit it.
high test alpha thread?
allright
>>27454081
I'm usually pretty annoyed by the HAES crowd, but this seems pretty normal to me. She has low self esteem, she admitts it. She is exercising, clearly. The last little bit was sarcasm. She has a sense of humor about the situation. 0/10. I would do laps with this chick.
>>27454100
for that... you dont need high test, you need leave humanity behind test

this is now a dubs thread
>>27435466
ayy lmao
>>27435466
>300lbs now, down from 340 after finding /fit/
>still a hulking monstrosity, exacerbated by 5'10" manlet status
>at the surgeon's office to have all 4 severely impacted wisdom teeth removed in one operation
>previous consultation said I had to be put to sleep for the extraction, so I'm not feeling too nervous
>led to the operating chair by sexy assistant girl, struggle not to spill spaghetti
>hooked up to electrocardiograph monitor
>when she touches my arm to place the velcro blood pressure strap on, my pulse jumps from 70 to 85 beats. I swear the EKG beeping increases in volume and intensity
>blood pressure band inflates like my penis has, but unlike my penis the band gives up half-inflated, velcro separates, and it falls too the floor
G-guess you need the fat guy sleeve, heh
>pulse increases
>new sleeve, this time super huge... it's brought in by another sexy assistant. This time it doesn't go flaccid mid-pump
>sexy assistant #2 touches me, feels me. Checking this and that. She adjusts my chair, leans over me to reach something off the wheeled instrument tray.
>Can't see the EKG in my new position, but I imagine it indicates full-on spapeggy and meatballs spillage. I can only hope she didn't feel my erect cock.
>Sexy assistant #1 must be a phlebotomist, because she rolls up my other sleeve and asks me if I've ever had an IV before
(1/?)
>>27419488
>stutter-mumble-fumble with words, but manage to tell her that I've never had one.
>as if providing a tenderly massage, she runs her fingers (no gloves, even) along my embarrassing stretch marks, down to my hand.
>She's so close. Her shampoo smells sweet and overpowers the sterile smell smell that's standard for hospitals.
>I want to enjoy it, but the EKG and my clear physical distress seems to be a clear window into my thoughts
>she finds the vein, goes over some medical jargon, asks me how much I weigh, and then she mercifully needles me.
>Needle comes up empty--no vein.
>She tries again, this time the other arm. I imagine when she pricks me this time spaghetti will burst forth directly from the vein and cover all of us
>Again: no luck. On the third time, this time on my left hand, it's unsuccessful.
>Surgeon enters. Thank god he's a male.
>I suspect he's annoyed that I'm still awake, but he's friendly and takes over in the hunt for the elusive vein.
>Two more tries, this time from the highly educated professional yield nothing but pricked skin and band-aids.
Well anon, we can't find a vein. Probably because it's so early in the morning... anyway, we can just reschedule.
>ask him if he'll be able to find it the next time
>he doesn't answer me, but I can read the truth in his eyes: no.
>I'm too goddamned fat to find one fucking vein.
>insurance ends at the end of July because I'll be turning 26. I can't get fit and return later
>>27419488
Post you jackass
Also
>Work at Starbucks
>Normal day until woman on scooter comes in
>She's literally spilling over the sides
>Asks for Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frapppucino
>Gets extra caramel, extra whip, extra caramel crunchies
>This thing is normally 600 cal easily, but is bumped up to 760 with extras
>Tells me she has the sugah
> says "doctors will have to amputate mah foot if I don't get no bettah, but I love these too much to give them up"
>As I place down the drink, I contemplate taking it back
>like fucking lightning, she snatches up the drink and scoots off into the sunset
>Not sure what has ever happened to her
>>27419665
I have moar!
>Was working at a Kingsoopers as a dietitian
>The security guard comes over and tells me I "have to see this"
>Takes me to security room to look at a security tape
>On it I see Ursa Major waddling towards a handicap scooter
>She struggles to get on, but manages to plop down around the seat
>I then see Ursa Minor (a smaller ham but still a ham) waddles/run to the cart
>You can tell there is shouting
>Ursa Minor grabs Ursa Major and yanks her off the scooter
>Ursa Major goes tumbling and stops on her back , like a turtle, pawing at the air
>Ursa minor scoots off
>Ursa Major manages to sit up and pout
>Thinking she'll just grab a cart, I'm shocked that she gets up and walks out of the store
>then the parking lot
>and towards the ocean to get back with her hamily
Thats right, she just left. WALKED out and left.
"dude, milk has like the most protein ever because it goes through the meat of the cow and sucks the protein out!"

>"don't train legs man, it will never show so it's basically wasted time"
