>>35349830
>hmm there's this sticky up on the board with a dinosaur running around to bring attention to it
>nah, better ignore it and ask for basic advice

Most of the questions asked here have been asked a million times already and can be answered with a simple Google search. There are so many places to get legit noob advice, why would you expect 4chan to be one of them?

>>35349874

I read it many times. I don't ask about basics anymore, unless I'm asking to know what people actually do, but take any thread you want, and you'll see 80% of it will be bullshit.

I'm thinking of the newbies who come here for the first time and expect sound advice; they only get retardation and memes.

Go to any other board, except /tv/ and you'll get sounder advice than here. It's like nobody here is actually fit or knows jackshit about fitness.

Some level of trolling and kekking is all right, but when most of the board is nothing but those, there's a problem.

If you read the sticky then use common sense to sift through the bullshit you can get some solid guidance here.

>>35349874

When noobs come here, they won't necessarily take the time to read the sticky because of some myths they believe. Sure, it's not logical and you know better, but they don't. Someone who's fat and believes nothing can change that will not take the time to read the sticky, but MAY ask us if it's possible or not. I'd RESPOND to that person, not troll their asses.

>>35349925
>If you read the sticky then use common sense to sift through the bullshit you can get some solid guidance here.

Indeed, but it doesn't change the fact that /fit/ is filled with kekheads and it'd be nice to have a real conversation sometimes.

So, anon, why are you a shitposter?

>>35349830
>80% of the advice here is straight up trolling

No, most of it isn't trolling. Most of it is legitimate retards being completely honest about what they actually believe to be true.

How come I almost never come across anons who can say, "I made it, and here is how"?

Apart from pic-related, I virtually never see that. It's almost as if most anons here were beginners, have achieved nothing, made some baby gains, and think they're experts.

>ask about doing splits
>be told splits are useless and evil

>ask about circuit workout with rounds
>be told it's evil and useless, no gains routine (might have been true and I changed my workout based on this advice)

My current belief based on everything I've come across is that more strength means more muscle and that strength is esthetic, that free weights are the way to go, that most machines are shit and a scam, that gym memberships generally cost more than a home gym. Going to buy myself a power rack/cage with an oly BB and I'll do SS/SL minus the overeating as soon as I fix my knee problem by doing hamstrings stretches.

That's about it for now.

>>35349863
It's a shark pit

>>35349830

There have been plenty of polls made around here.
Stuff like 50% of the board doesn't lift, and the majority that does is beginners with a few months of experience.

The people who actually know their shit don't wanna waste their time teaching novices basic stuff, with very few exceptions. So that leaves novices with no idea how stuff works trying to teach other novices.

The fact that it's an anonymous board and anyone can pretend to be an expert also doesn't help.

>going to the gym for the girls meme is what you are left with, cause let's be honest, that is what you want, so you're the bullshit

I'm married, 33, and I don't go to the gym. I lift for other reasons. That sufficiently negates your argument.

>>35349830
I was fit and knowledgeable about fitness before coming here, I think a lot of problems come from guys who get all their information from this board and nothing else. Its amusing watching "adults" learn about calories and such when I learned about that shit back when I was like 10-13, before 4chan even existed. Also the less knowledgeable you are the more likely you are to be easily convinced, hence why so many are easily swayed here.

your hamstrings aren't doing jack shit, no matter the angle your legs are still at relatively same angle, so it is irrelevant

Because fitness is a well understood science. Pretty much any legitimate question can be answered more reliably and thoroughly by googling, so there isn't really much left to talk about except shitposting, memery, and arguments about the most stupid, irrelevant shit.

If you lurked every thread for 24 hours you'd probably get the same amount of information from /fit/ as you would from any other fitness board. This one just moves far faster than anywhere else and so there's also far more bullshit.

If you don't like it go somewhere else, you'll probably get the same information but it'll move as slowly as somewhere like /n/ where a thread can be still going from August.

I think theres actually a good amount of lurkers that have made it in some way, who just enjoy the fact this place is generally a fucking wasteland of dank memes and bullshit, with a little real advice they can contribute/learn from.

>>35350073

I learned about calories a few years ago, and I'm past 30. Literally never learned this shit at school. Literally learned this shit existed because my mother told me about her weightwatcher point program and I wondered aloud why this wasn't done for EVERY food item. My chemically-trained woman told me it was, and that's when I learned about calories and felt fucking stupid. It enlightened everything for me and I regained hope in the world.

So much bullshit out there, I understand how some people give up on any tangible info.

>>35350082

The fucking sticky is all you morons talk about. If someone new hasn't read it, you telling them to won't automatically make them read it. However, if you answer their question and point to the sticky for more info, they might just consider it.

Why? there are 1440 minutes in a day, so sitting an entire day would burn 1440 calories. BMR is about 1900, its pretty close. They propably rounded 1.3 down to 1.

>>35350128

Actually, they don't, but I was wrong too. 1 kcal per minute is normal, sitting or not, actually.

If you were right, that'd mean we'd only burn 0,024 kcal a day if we sat all day, which is retarded. I'll burn 1500kcal even in a coma.

This is for newfags who can't read the weight on a barbell.

Barbell gravity
The bar doesn't count as weight, the bar is there to counteract the negative gravity caused by your muscles exerting themselves. If the bar wasn't there than 2pl8 would weight less since your muscles energy giving it momentum when you move it causes some of the gravitational pull of the earth on the weights to be sheared off.

If by lacking you mean the muscle growth, then you gotta be patient. It's not that easy to grow huge delts as natty. Don't compare yourself to people on roids. Do your OHPing, add lateral raises, and be patient and consistent with your training. And eat/rest enough.

If by lacking you mean you are stalling on the OHP, there are a few steps to improving it:
- Do lateral raises. The lateral heads of the delts are very important for the OHP.
- Add less weight. For some reason people think they are supposed to add 2.5kg per workout to everything (I blame SL). If you do that you will never progress on the OHP. Aim to add 1kg instead. If you are still getting stuck, lower it to 0.5kg.
It sounds like very little, but it's better to keep progressing at a slow and steady pace than trying to go fast and stalling nonstop.

>>35349830
Humans are evil :(

>>35350376
If you mean that you have smaller shoulders, it's probably just a matter of patience and of needing to wait while everything progresses.

You can try to fight for more reps, instead if constantly adding weight. If you do a day of 3x5 @ 65lbs, don't add weight on your next workout. Fight for 1x5 and 2x6 next time--one or two more reps. Yay. Then you can go ahead and add weight the next time (third day).

That should be normal for most lifts, especially if you're stalking. This advice is courtesy of ACSM.

And, if you still plateau, try eating more, sleeping more, and more rest between sets.

And finally, if the stall progresses, then at this point you probably are decently strong. You're doing everything else right. Try adding supplementary lifts. Lat raises and rear DB flies.

Bump. Gonna read all that new postin'.

Nah, bro, it wasn't. Eating "more" or "less", means putting more or less food in your mouth. Any fatty out there would understand it this way, and until you specify what you mean, that is literally what it means: more or less food.

It entirely depends on which pizzas and how many calories per pizza.

You're assuming a noob would only eat less of the same things, which, in most cases, wouldn't be enough to lose weight.

Original argument was explained, in case it needed to be, and it's easily understood. Eating more, for the common man, means eating more food, not more calories, as a lot of people don't even understand what calories are or how they work. Since you were speaking for the uneducated masses, you should speak in their terms, and stop pretending that you were talking about calories. You weren't.
