dont have the spare mental time to think through my diet/plan ahead/plan a lift/going to the gym/etc.
id lift if there were a few more hours in the day
>>9526476
why do i need to lift when i have a colt .45 automatic
retarded post
>>9526567
nigga all the thinking is done already you just have to read that shit online, and you're already reading online all the time if you're on /lit/ so your excuse is shit
>>9526569
being strong makes everything easier
your gunz won't make walking up the stairs with the groceries any easier.
also being a /bigguy/ gives you a passive boost to charisma
>>9526476
I am, I did a pull-up today
>>9526579
what's the deal with pre-workouts? is beta alanine safe
>>9526476
Lets say I want to be androgynous and maybe later if I feel like a need to, go full trans, will doing starting strenght be bad for said aesthetic if I'm skinny fat?
>>9526591
unnecessary, the only effective one is creatine monohydrate.
>>9526613
it gets me mad hype - is it unsafe
>>9526618
if makes you bloated, puts 5% on your lifts and may or may not give you AIDs

I avoid preworkouts for the same reason I avoid taking amphetamines before workouts - putting that much strain on your heart can't be good
on the other hand a moderate amount of caffeine probably won't hurt much
I actually like to use raw garlic + vitamin C but that's because I'm an occult herbalist type.
3-4 cloves raw garlic + 1500-2000mg vit C = 200% increase in blood nitric oxide levels, reduced blood pressure, increased blood flow (means increased endurance and decreased strain on your vascular system) and a minor testosterone boost. In my experience it's better than drugs
>>9526611
lifting will help you realize that you are an idiot for even thinking about that.

>lifting will help you realize that you are an idiot for even thinking about that.
How?
>>9526665
He is lying, lifting does not change your life, except maybe in applying a level of discipline towards it.
You are mentally ill, and no amount of physical exercise can change that.
>>9526672
But will SS affect me too much if I'm skinny? I want to have nice legs, right now they look like straws, I'm mostly worried about the upper part of my body, while I would like to be more muscular I don't want too much either
Lifting makes you gay it's true

Have you ever tried beet juice? I've heard it's good at getting through blood flowing and increasing NO levels. I've tried l-arginine, can't say it's done anything for me.
>>9526682
>But will SS affect me too much if I'm skinny?
SS will give you larger legs and ass if you eat correctly, as 70% of its movements are glutes and hamstrings/core It isnt until you move on to an intermediate program like Texas Method that your chest starts to blow up.
You want definition without lots of mass increase you should look into a bodyweight program and run alot, although you should still incorporate squats and deadlifts imo
>>9526695
Just answer my question about SS please
>>9526699
Thank you so much anon
>>9526693
nah never tried beet juice, desu I hate the taste of beets, feels like eating dirt.
A little experimentation is a good idea imo

protip: garlic+vitC combo will also give you super rock hard boners, which is always fun
>>9526476
Honestly, I don't know what "routine" would be good for me. 150lbs and 5'10'', I want to bulk up or at least get toned but have no idea how to do it.
Plus I don't want to go to the gym alone ;_;
>>9526705
I hope you don't mutilate yourself anon. That is an extremely drastic step to take, and I don't like the thought of anyone becoming a suicide statistic.

I don't plan on having children even if I stay male, still I'm not full tranny yet, I like some guy stuff and some women stuff so getting rid of my penis is not something I want to but maybe I'll get HRT which will kill it anyways, and if I ever kill myelf it won't be because of trans issues I already know how to deal with social alienation
>>9526747
all that aside I tend to think people are best working with what they've got rather than falling for a "grass is greener on the other side" type thinking and attempting to turn themselves into the opposite sex (which will always result in the creation of a facsimile rather than a true transformation)
there's nothing wrong with working out, eating healthy, and sleeping sound.
be well
>>9526723
Thanks for the tips, I might try that out; eating raw garlic has never bothered me.
How do you take your vitamin C? Tablet? Liquid drops? Capsule? Are any brands particularly good for absorption?
>>9526764
You too anon
>>9526777
chewable tablets
liquid will probably be better for absorption but I get plenty of kick from the chewables + garlic
cardio > /fit/
Signing up for the gym soon but I'm pretty clueless about fitness. Will there be someone there to show me the ropes regarding proper form, creating a regimen, etc.? I'm sure I can find that info online but I dot trust myself to follow through properly without direct guidance, at least at first.
>>9526830
gyms will usually offer personal training services but they charge you extra $$
also some PTs are not that great, you should definitely read up on your own in order to protect yourself from the possibility of bad coaching.
>>9526483
Time to kill yourself
>>9526777
might want to be careful about garlic toxicity
the lowest estimate for garlic toxicity in 150lb person comes in at 25g (400mg/kg) which if you're eating big cloves is pretty easy to go over in 4 cloves
even if you go a bit over you should be fine as this is the absolute lowball estimate for toxicity but I thought I'd mention it
>>9526835
Well I tried doing it on my own and I ended up injuring myself. Now that I'm recovered I just want to totally submit to an authority on the subject until I'm in a position to do it on my own.
>>9526918
that's not a bad idea.
>>9526730
Most people go to the gym alone.

>tfw no shortcut to being /fit/
this is why I became /lit/ desu
>>9527081
Yeah, at least on /lit/ you can pretend to know something about literature and most people will believe you.
>tfw /fit/lit/ but depressed
>>9527105
Uh I'm pretty sure people do that on /fit/ too. Real life is a different matter though.
>>9526476
I hate lifting. I'm not fat so I don't really care. I'd rather read and shitpost.
>>9526660
>I avoid taking amphetamines before workouts
Wait what? But amphetamines are the whole reason I need to get /fit/...
