"/fit/ - Fitness" is 4chan's imageboard for weightlifting, health, and fitness.
please help por favor
In May I started pull ups. I couldn't even do one pull up, but after many attempts and "reverse pull ups" (when you jump, then slowly go down), I finally managed to pull up myself. Anyway, after so many months I am stuck at 3-4-5. Sometimes I can't even do 3, I don't know why.
What should I do?
Just keep doing it until I will be able to do 5 comfortably?
I'm a fatfag, 100 KG 180 CM. Yes I know that ol' Mike was slightly enhanced, but compared to today's monstrosities he was relatively normal sized. How attainable is his physique natty?
And how attainable are your own dream physiques natty? As you become healthier and stronger you become more confident. You feel good and you look good and you have the confidence level wear something that would get you laughed at if you were less fit. >one shot at life

I switched to Test prop after about 2 years of using Test E since I had a surplus, holding less water; I like it. Physical training brings you many life benefits and it is something you can grind every day for continuous improvement. What would be something similar for your mind? If it helps to make money that'd be even better. Why do krav maga tacticool fags propose this move so much when you could just deliber an uppercut or an elbow strike instead? My ohp has been stuck at 55kg for like a year. How do I unstall it and progress again? I've been mainly doing 5x5. /CBT/ current body thread

Power lifting is a fool's paradise. Think about how squished your spinal disks will be afterward. You'll end up having to get surgery to fuse your head to your spine, so you'll end up with the mobility of Michael Keaton in the rubber Batman suit. How much of this would you say is muscle gain vs fat? Just posted this baby on /diy/, installed it in my garage tonight.
Have an infant son and want to homegym so he can watch and emulate me working out and hopefully develop into a Chad (local gym won’t allow anyone under 13yo, I need him on the grind long before then).
I’m planning to get a heavy bag I can hang / remove as needed, and maybe some rings for rows and stuff
What other equipment would anyone recommend for a small basic home workout setup? I still need to be able to park my car inside at night so don’t have a ton of room. >lookism

This shit used to be extremely niche and people would discuss it only on websites like this one(I do not claim it originated in here don’t get autistic about it) and other niche websites that were filled with extremely mentally ill people. Nowadays tho this shit is everywhere all the niche humor from here has become the norm for the younger generation. I constantly see literal 10 year olds talking about jawlines and mogging. How the hell did that happen I'm going bald

No corn syrup, onions products or canola oil.
No drugs or pornographic anime.
No screentime after 9pm or hours-long arguments on twitter. Instead they
Instead they would go to the library, get involved in sports clubs and chill out with their friends at the park.
Everyone was happy and innocent, but their parents didn't prepare them for the horrors of the 21st century, and instead of aging like wine, they went sour and spoiled, becoming angry, bitter, and don't know why. So, what will it be anon? Alright /fit/, you know what time it is. Time to post your current ass progress. Doesn’t matter if you’re squatting heavy, hitting the leg press, or doing lunges for days, let’s see the gains.
Rules:
1. No flat asses allowed.
2. Glute isolation exercises? Drop your routines.
3. If you're claiming natty, you better have receipts.
4. Critique each other’s form and routines (no crybabies).
For those just starting: Yes, squats help, but don't neglect your hamstrings and hip thrusts if you want the full aesthetic package.
Let’s get those glutes posted, and remember: no pics, no gains. I do the chest fly machine, leg press, bicep curls, and I run 5k in 26 minutes.
I don't care about aesthetics, I just want to be fit and healthy; Whatelse shoud l do? just bought this, what am i in? I have been doing my routine since the beginning of august starting with babyweights and progressively overloading every week but as I am getting able to lift heavier weight I am unable to do it for as many reps and have been failing my final set and also have been failing to finish my work out and splitting it into two days so I am resting less also I am sleeping terribly all of a sudden my sleep was never good but now it is really bad like 3 hours.
TLDR My body is looking really good and I am lifting heavier weights but getting gassed out sooner Whoa, look at that. Looks like seed oil schizos were wrong again. remember why you are doing this >Programming Advice?

What's the non-autistic reply? >Advice for new runners
- Build up speed and mileage SLOOOOOWLY (start with 15 minutes, increase mileage at most 10% per week)
- It will feel like you're going slow, you are; don't worry about setting good times for a couple months
- If you start to feel pain anywhere, stop and rest
- Don't try to copy what pros are doing. Do what feels natural
- Once you can comfortably roon 6 miles/10km, start thinking about a goal in terms of race distance and time, and look for a training plan for that goal (see below for suggested plans)

Every man for himself? The list goes on I cannot even do an overhead squat without tumbling forward, i dont understand how these guys have the mobility and strength to toss 300+lbs over their head.
I want to be able to do the olympic lifts but i feel like i need to do a year of yoga before i can even do the basic movements What kind of toothpaste does /fit/ use? Should I keep growing it out or shave it off? I am unsure of what to do. I never gave a fuck about how my hair looked in regards to my life or my fitness goals. Which hobbies, besides lifting, do you guys have?
I've met some people from /fit/ that are actually cool. is scalp DHT really needed? all it does after puberty is give you get prostate cancer, age your skin faster and give you adulthood acne... A woman asked if she could feel my muscles today while I was grocery shopping, my life is now validated.
She was 70, but it still counts right? Started seriously lifting for the first time in my life. A bit overweight, so I’m eating a deficit. I’m almost 2 months in. Natty also. When do I feel like I’m good enough? Every workout I’m sweating and feel like rubber. I walk, I cut out shitty foods, etc etc but I have a lingering feeling like nothings happening even though I’m getting stronger every time.
When does the “breakthrough” happen? berry flavored greek yoghurt with musli and coffee on the side for breakfast... so fucking peak Big gains edition

For Subway Slurpers who are working towards a longer life and a better physique through meaningful hard-work, strategy, and dedication. This is not QTDDTOT, stick to questions on fat loss. Post height and weight when asking for advice.

1. Read https://physiqonomics.com/fat-loss/
2. Calculate your Body Fat Percentage: https://fitness.bizcalcs.com/Calculator.asp?Calc=Body-Fat-Navy
3. Calculate your TDEE: https://www.sailrabbit.com/bmr/
Remember to use bodyfat% and use Katch-McArdle Formula with sedentary settings or your TDEE will be too high.

>Now what?
Count calories, all of them.
Eat about 500-1000 less calories than your TDEE.
Buy scales, be accurate.
Learn to cook. Try to stick to lean protein and green vegetables.
Eat a lot of protein. 0.72g per pound of goal lean body mass.
Doing cardio, even just walking, will improve your health. There is no such thing as a healthy diseased heart, but you can offset the risks.
Lifting weights will keep and gain muscle mass and lose fat much quicker. No lifting results in the body eating away muscle AND fat.

If you can't lift that barbell off the ground with just your body and do whatever exercise it is you're wanting to do, be it a squat or a overhead press, YOU ARE A FAGGOT!
I CHALLENGE YOU TURBODORKS to not use a single piece of equipment designed to hold a barbell in-place for you for the entire month of November, you've got 27 days to practice for NoRackNovember.
>inb4 b-but i need a rack cause i use le heavy weight im a powerlift-
SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU ARE LYING TO ME AND YOURSELF
AS IT WAS STATED IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS:
>THOU SHALT LIFT THE BARBELL FROM THE EARTH, NOT FROM A MACHINATION We have 3 threads right now on nofap but not one thread about penis enlargement which is something actually productive and will physically improve your body.
Why is that? Welcome my lean and soon to be lean brothers to the Lean Pill General!
Powershitters BTFO edition!
>What is the Lean Pill?
The lean pill is accepting that as long as you are fat it doesn't really matter how much you can bench.
You have eaten the big "nutrition" lies. Is time to wake up and be LEAN.
>What is /LEAN/ for?
To share data, questions and anecdotal experience about how real the lean pill is, particularly if you were fat and lost the weight.
>Who is /LEAN/ for?
Skinnyfats, hamplanets, powershitters with painful knees, normie mode, dad bods, skinny fags and skelly mode anons that want to ASCEND.
>Why do it?
"Life ends and begins at 12%"
"There are male models of all races and sizes. Some models aren't tall, but they are ALL lean"
Regarding women, the key it's not the muscles. it's being lean. Plus it's healthier. Not only hormonal (higher test), but your heart will struggle if you are overweight.
Build muscle but, most importantly, be LEAN.
>Advice:
- Cico, low carb, keto, carnivore, intermittent fasting, water fasting, dry fasting... See what works for you and DO IT.
- You need muscle to be lean. Lift, eat at least 2g protein / kg goal weight, but AVOID the carbs.
- Clean bulk is the ONLY bulk.
- HIIT exercises are good, anything sprint related: cycling, rooning, swimming, air bikes, rows Did NoFap/NoPorn increase your T or is it a psyop? Why are lunges (with DBs) the most exhausting exercise in my routine? I do Upper/Lower and my workouts often take three hours. How do I know what exercises to cut out to make them a bit shorter? Is this good for my immune system fitness? Thoughts on the so-called “dad bod”? Is it avoidable? Fitly speaking, what time should one go to bed and wake up each day >honey, you want to tell me why 2 dozen eggs are already gone and I just bough them?
how do you respond? I recently learned how to coo/ck/ and it's such a cheaper life style to loose weight. For example, I used to buy protein pancake mix, and I can easily make that with whey protein and oats. Not only is it cheaper, it gives me more, less additives, and I can naturally flavor it. I have changed my eye colour from light brown to blue through epigenetics.

I'm not saying it's not legit skill, but it also annoys me that the cope from getting bulky is that "muscle slows you down". Some of you are fatasses. That doesn't even make sense. Fat makes you slow.
Also abs help soften punches more.
Well anyways, MMA people say that can take on any body builder, but what the fuck are you going to do if that body builder also knows MMA? Then what?
Why not just get bulky yourself too to avoid that possible mog? Fast food? More like fast fuel. Been skinny throughout my life and want to bring a change from today. How do I effectively gain weight as a south-east asian. My diet is usually rice, eggs, chicken, beef, bread, potatoes, etc. I’ve been eating in a surplus (eating way more) than before but there haven’t been any noticeable changes. Any advice? Most retarded abs exercise ever, who the fuck invented this shit I felt NOTHING except an uncomfortable tension in my elbows and knees We lost Natural Hypertrophy to the live stream parasocial shit

I'm an oldfag and i'm interested in it for sports performance and recovery rather than gains. Just looking to push back a bit against age related decline. That it can be taken orally daily at low doses for 6 - 12 week cycles, (usually) doesn't require PCT and is cheap is also a massive bonus. I'm interested in TRT too but not for some years yet. how do you cope with hight protein diet? Sup fit I'm trying to do 3 full body work outs a week, how does this routine seem?

You will end up as the only fit person in a world of fat fucks. You can easily catch a disease from people sweating all over the equipment. So nasty. Save yourself the trouble and buy a home gym. Anyone working towards one arm dead hangs and one arm pull ups? I'm quite enjoying them. I'm doing assisted scapula pulls with just a fingertip or two of my right hand supporting atm. I imagine i'll need to add in a band soon to be able to do the full range of motion for the scapula raise. Not far off a strict one arm dead hang and dynamic movements while maintaining strict form. All of this is on a thick bar so it's a bit harder and slower progress but it's worth. Anything on the bar as well as pull ups are my favorite things to train. One arm dead hangs on a thick bar get the veins on my forearm lit up like nothing else. Being realistic

/fit/ BTFO! Thoughts on tucking your cock before lifting? Does it boost strength? Nick Walker has pulled out of the O again for a pussy ass reason again. Looking for advice for at-home muscle exercises
I started taking my health seriously again after seeing how disgusting I was looking in videos of me
I've let myself go way too much those last years.
I was 250 pounds for 5'11"
After a month of eating well and doing my at-home elliptical bike 2-3x a week I'm down to 240 pounds.
My goal is around 190 pounds.
I'm obviously going to continue my bike and eating better but I also want to get back some muscles if I can.
I have a couple of adjustable dumbbells and considering buying a pullup bar
Anythink else you would consider? (not to big, I'm in an appartment)
But most of all, what to do with those? Any recommandation, youtube video or any tip to train smartly ? Why is it always rice, why do you always meal prep with rice, why never some spaghetti, tortellini,penne, why always fucking rice. Eternal weight stall edition

>cut to 65kg
>now I’m skinny again, lost muscle mass especially around arms
>flat stomach
>still no sign of abs
what the fuck, /fit/ told me lose bf to reveal abs. I feel like I just wasted all this time and energy on bulking then cutting but I’m still back on square one. I gained 15lbs since my dad died, I just stopped tracking calories, but I kept exercising.
I miss my dad, and he was so proud of my running. I want to train for a marathon to honor him. I know I need to keep losing weight but I miss him so fucking much. My theory is that chronic fatness is connected becoming used to big weight swings. I've only swung +-12kgs over the course of my adult life (58-70) and I can't imagine steadily gaining a large amount of weight and it not being a wake-up call. On the other hand, you hear fat people saying they've gained and lost tens of kilos. I don't think this is possible if you don't first become accustomed to such massive changes in weight. What’s the ideal physique for a long distance runner? I am at my all time physical peak physique. I take meticulous care of my diet, hair and personal hygiene. I work out 6-7 days a week with proper amounts of relaxation for each muscle group, and have been working on my flexibly as well as strength. I am what I believe to be ~15% body fat.
My mental and social health are still shit.
I unironically used to get more sexual attention from women when I looked like a twink. I am not exceptionally larger, I maybe have gained 10 lbs of muscle in the course of 2.5 years, and I still wear all of the same clothes. My mental health has not improved, despite experimenting with a verity of different substances and methods of anxiety reduction (aniracetam and ashwaganda are the only 2 I have found that do anything), and of course looking significantly more attractive.
When does the "glow up" kick in? When does the confidence kick in? The bigger I get the smaller I feel, the more I work out the worse my body proportions look in the mirror, I dont get this.
