/fitness/ general

Getting big doesn't make you a chad. /fit/ is basically full of robots with muscles. Still good to get in shape though

/fit/izens are the most depressed people on 4chan I've ever seen.

they always fall short of looking good, they always figure out women are shit, they never make it, there is literally a steroids thread permanently up because they got so cynical about the process.

I prefer cardio myself. It's a nice skill to be able to run from my problems.

been trying keto for about a month, lost about 10 pounds so far

Thanks for the thread OP.

Started a diet and routine yesterday. Haven't regularly exercised for 5 years and my body looks absolutely goblinish.

At least lifting and working out is a hobby that has tangible progress and makes you feel better about yourself.

I've started working out every single day lately, mostly focusing on my arms but also running at least a mile daily

Is this good for me? Should I take longer breaks between workouts, or is it okay to go at it every day? Also on the real how much protein do I need

ive been a bony faggot all my life, i wanna bulk up a little

Just eat as much protein as you can, the more the better (though a general rule of thumb is 1 gram for 1 pound of bodyweight), if you're a skelly boy just keep on eating.

Thanks, will do that. Although desu I literally don't enjoy eating that much. The toughest part for me is forcing extra food down my throat that I don't really want

Everyone has to start somewhere lad, if you've worked out in the past muscle memory should help a bit.

>Is this good for me?

Assuming you're natural I would say that you should instead work out every other day, you can supplement this with cardio on the off-days if you like.

Working out every day is something that is maintained by steroid users, as their muscles are able to recover at a greatly advanced pace.

Muscles are made out of the gym with proper diet. You should also get on a program, as they are made by professionals with tried and true methods, Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe or ICF (Ice Cream Fitness) would be your best bets, but only as a beginner.

If you don't want to do that you should focus on your legs and core as well, a strong core and legs aids you in your arm development greatly, as the core provides stabilizing and helps you to lift a greater weight with less strain on your arm, and leg work (eg. squats) has been shown to increase testosterone levels more than any other exercises.

>How much protein?

1 gram of protein for every pound of muscle. 1 gram = 1 LBM (Lean body mass). 40-50 grams of protein in a meal is ideal.

I'm quite a picky eater and I have to eat off my university's meal plan. Fuck this will be hard if I try to do this. Can I just eat relatively healthy and drink some shakes and shit? Money isn't really a problem as much as the food. I don't have access to a kitchen or healthy restaurants nearby.

Anyways, you should keep making these threads at least daily. I might start someday.
