Alright, so i've been lifting for 3 years, 6'1'' sitting at 205 lbs around 13% bf. Tired of weightlifting, don't feel athletic at all.
So, anyone ever made the transition from weightlifting to competitive swimming? Any advice would be appreciated
I went the other direction, swam in high school and after some other sports later on I decided to do weightlifting instead
now I'm just really fucking heavy, I can't float very well at all and if I exhale I sink like a stone. You may find this is your experience too
also bodybuilding != weightlifting, which is actually athletic

Do swimmers even track macros? I effortlessly eyeball pretty much everything i eat, but still.
>>36632883
no, not in my experience. Just eat a shitload of carbs, enough protein to recover, and fat generally kept within reasonable limits
eat more if you find yourself not gaining stamina, eat less if you find yourself getting fatter than you like
also unless you've been swimming for a while you're gonna be crap and nowhere near competitive
What did you eat for breakfast today? Also, rate mine.
>>36632646
no bread with your sausos?
end yourself

Enjoy nogains.
I never have time to make shit like this before heading to work. I guess I could wake up earlier, but 6AM is early enough in my opinion. It would also require me to head to bed even earlier to aquire enough sleep for maximum gains.

>>36632616
40 euros for gym? What the fuck I could move to Poland and live like a billionaire
>>36632679
it's only mid-tier gym
Nicer ones are more expensive plus you have to pay all kind of additional fees
Where do I find a girlfriend who can curl more than twice as much as she can squat?

Hey guys, newfag here. I'm tired of looking like this, and I'm ready to do whatever it takes. I just got a gym membership today. I also want to know how to get little aesthetic's like veins on my arms and that V that points to my dick from my hips. In this thread I want you to recommend what exercises I should do for the best, most aesthetically pleasing look. Thanks, love you guys.
Pic related btw, it'a me

The problem with being fat is there are no real Punishments for being fat. So here is what I propose. Ban fat people from:
1. Voting or running for office.
2. Marrying.
3. Using public transport or driving.
4. Leaving the house between 10pm and 6am without a permit.
5.Having children.
6. Being paid over 6.66 GBP an hour.
On top of that, tax 90% of their income.
Then, and only then will we see obesity fall,
are you going to implement state-funded weightloss services as well

You'll also see riots and tons and tons of protests. At least in america, but it seems you are in the UK?
And if you don't do what >>36632420 says, you can expect even more hate.

>tax fat fucks
>use tax to pay for sending them all to mandatory fat camps
I can get behind this idea.

Easiest foods to make in bulk, specifically for cutting.
I nominate chili in the crock pot. Easy to adjust ingredients for goals/taste, stupid simple to make, and I never get tired of it.
I make venison or chicken and rice in the pressure cooker. Takes about 30 min feom frozen.

does anyone else here NOT want to have big legs?
I just hate the way they look, they take away from that aesthetically pleasing V shape. this is why I don't do squats, just the leg press once a week, because I don't want my legs to get big I just want them to be athletic. I think upper-body focused physiques look the best, so long as the legs aren't completely DYEL tier like never trained ever
Small legs are for faggots
/thread
I aim to look like a hockey player. Hockey players don't have twig for legs
How does one start training in the early morning before work?
IMO it's virtually impossible unless you're a morning person. I've tried loads of times and in the end I just prefer the extra time in bed. More chance of me working out at 2am before bed than at 7-8am. I wish I could though.
by going to bed at the appropriate time

I've started running for the first time in my life, but I'm not sure whether or not it should be a 100% daily thing (at least when I start; I know it's nbd once I really get in shape). Should I have like, recovery days for when my legs want to murder me?
How old are you and how far are you running and how heavy are you? These factors would affect how much you should run, but really just listen to your body.
25, atm 1 mile, 160 pounds
Also, I have a hard time discerning between my body's messages and my brain being like "PFFT, just chill and play some videogames"
How do you deal with the appetite suppression/worse digestion effects of dip?
I only pack like 3 a week, usually on the weekends, but I can feel the difference in how much I want to eat. I'm still making noob gains and just recently started eating >3000 cals/day, and it feelsgoodman but only when I eat enough. Now cope mint is out and may God have mercy on my gums.
Also dip general.
