New to this shit /fit/
I'm getting fucking discouraged, been about a month and I have no way of knowing whether or not I'm doing things right. I'm following routines I find online or going with friends, I'm also checking my weight twice daily and trying to eat better but there's more or less no difference.
Am I doing something wrong or what.
I just like to tell you right here that what you think is naturally achievable from all the shit you've seen or heard regarding fitness is 100% lies.
You want to look like those guys that motivated you that you see on YouTube and Instagram? It's all a facade. Shit, even in here most are lying.
My advice is to leave this place, stop looking at all fitness related information, get back into the gym and train. You will come to understand all of this in due time.

this is like telling someone to go into a science lab and mess around with shit and you will start to understand the most complex theories in chemistry. Thats not going to happen.
Learn theory first, apply it in lab, analyze results, and then you can come up with your conclusions.
>>36163516
Sounds like you aren't doing compound lifts. You are most likely doing a really bad split maybe?
>>36163516
>a month
>checking weight two times a day
>following "routines" (plural)
>"trying to eat better"
Wow, you sound retarded.
1. You check your weight ONCE per week, same day and same time
2. You pick one routine and follow it for AT LEAST four weeks, better 6-8
2. You search on the interwebs for your daily caloric intake, set a limit accordingly and a meal...

Hi /fit/, DYEL inferior race reporting in
What exercises should I do to build up my chin-ups? I want to be able to do 10 chin-ups consecutively within a couple of months.
>>36152750
Doing chin ups will help
Anything that works your biceps, dumbass
>>36152750
Do as many as you can and on the last one hang there for as long as you are able to. Finish the set by hopping up to the bar and slowly decending.
>cutting
>got all my protein in and now bout to eat a 1kg carrot salad
How's your cut going?
kinda meh, i'm only trying to lose like maybe 5 pounds for summer, so i'm really slacking.
just have some stubborn lower stomach fat, and love handles to get rid of
I went a little over in cals today but I'm fairly certain I burned enough to even out
I don't usually trust that though
I'm 260 now, plan to be 210 before I even think of bulking in ~7 months. 6'4, lifted before but had to stop for 2 years due to injuries. I'm Interested to see how much muscle mass I lost.
My doctor told me today that I need to stop lifting and kickboxing and start swimming instead, because weight is weight. Doesn't matter if it's muscle. I've been doing martial arts and weight lifting since I was 15. I'm 36 now. I asked if more reps of lower weight would be OK and he said no. Weight is weight he said.
I don't do steroids or anything. I can't run much anymore because a piece of bone got shredded off by my tendon and it's not 're-absorbing or embedding like was predicted and they won't operate unless I lose weight first.
Do you think if I went on an extreme diet and switched to more reps at a lower weight I could get it together enough to get the surgery and get back in the ring? I can't handle the thought of not being able to defend myself. I got beat up a lot growing up because I'm an ethnic and religious minority in the Midwest. I'm near tears.
I'm not going to share any pictures of myself or any more personal information, because I'm not comfortable doing that online. I just want your opinion on this.
>I'm not going to share any pictures of myself or any more personal information
Need height/weight and estimate bf%
AKA are you a fat fuck?
>>36158605
lmao these pics are in order?
>>36158643
I have put on a lot of weight since the injury. So yes. 260 pounds, five foot 10. Don't know my gnu. I focus on core a lot because I like to hit hard and fast and keep it tight. The blows I mean. I use a tight up close form for punches and like to use my femur for the kicks. Especially since I fucked that ankle up. Ironically by stepping into a hole. Ain't life a bitch? I think he's a bit biased against body building because he used to be a body builder and it fucked his shit up. I haven't swam...

Dont. There are people who have died because of the manipulations these faggots do on your spine.
It was founded by a green grocer who thought he could cure small pox by cracking backs.
Is going to the gym alone like going to the cinema alone?
I wanna start the gym but I've got nobody to go with.
>>36150541
only problem is not having a spotter for bench
>>36150541
I go to the gym alone, and I don't give a fuck. I'm not there to socialize or chat, I'm there to lift weights.
You can do it too, OP.
My gym has a no singles policy. You're required to have a gym buddy to come in. They say it's too make sure that everyone has a spotter at all times.
What dou you think for 1 year train ?

Hey /fit/ how can I target my bottom 2 abs?
You can't. I've been living with that struggle for 2 years, it's genetics. You have to get your bf really fuckin low. I'm still dyel so I've decided to not give a fuck anymore and just focus on getting bigger. It's a shame though, I have perfect visibility of abs until I hit the belly button line it just fuckin sucks
>>36152258
What's the point of getting my bf% super low if my bottom 2 abs aren't developed tho
>>36152271
Oh well then do leg ups and knee tucks
Is a girl like 90% of your motivation, /fit/?
How do you overcome that?
>>36151469
it used to be
now my motivation is looking good in the mirror, I want a body that people mire
plus facial aesthetics are much better since losing bodyfat. so even if you like girls, do it for yourself cause you will stay motivated even after a gf.
>>36151469
>Is a girl like 90% of your motivation, /fit/?
No, getting laid with tinder sloots is piss easy if you aren't fat or greasy or otherwise disgusting. You don't really need to be /fit/.
>How do you overcome that?
Download tinder and become a sloot too.
I think about one girl while i can't do last rep
I do that for her
It kinda helps at least to me.
Is it snake oil?
No, it's clearly fish oil
>>36150622
Idk but ever since I started taking a fish oil supplement, I have been sweating so much more at the gym wtf guys?
>>36150663
Wtf guys?
I just thought I'd post this lecture series by a Canadian nephrologist. He explains what causes people to gain weight and lose it in a scientific manner and quite clearly. Why calorie restrictive diets fail in the end, why fasting is useful and what hormones play into weight gain and so forth.
I thought it was interesting and useful.

Bump before it reaches page 10. I'm almost done watching the video.
>>36150307
High protein causes obesity?
>what causes people to gain weight
eating too many calories
>and lose it

>why calorie restrictive diets fail
diets designed to end will always fail when they end
