so, i've joined a gym, and i am starting with stronglifts 5x5. the program recomends to take a day off between the lifting days. the question is: can i pratice martial arts in the off days?
>>35043272
yes.
just don't go too overboard, you want to do at least good hour or so of active resting (just laying down, on the computer or watching tv or meditating or whatever).
outside of that, the more active you are the better, to a point.
just don't stress yourself out too much and elevate your cortisol levels, because that will make curb your gains
like.. don't do an hour of balls-to-the-wall martial arts training, and then an hour of intense cardio after that.
also make...

>active resting
you should do that on lifting days to.
too much active resting is bad for your athleticism, so don't do it all day every day, but an hour or so a day, post-workout is a good idea.
Yeah, that's what I do.
Just know that learning things like rolls (as in aikido and jiu-jitsu) might be harder because you're gaining mass and you might have to practice it a little more to get it smoother.
What martial arts are you planning to do, OP?
alright /fit/ /sp/ here

this is the gayest shit I have ever read on 4chan. And that includes /lgbt/.

Looks pretty good to me. Why not rowing instead of using the machine though?
And don't you think you might benefit from throwing in some accessoires? Particularly smth for your arms?
Do you have a morning routine?
Meditation? Cardio? A few push ups?
What do you between waking up and going to work?

Alarm at 5:55
Shower
Shave
Make breakfast (tea + eggs)
Eat eggs
Dress
Chill, shitpost and drink tea
Brush teeth
Leave for work 7:40
I usually do some stretching while I cook breakfast.
I like to have a slow morning where I can mellow out with a good cup of tea before I have to hit the grind. I usually have around 30-45 minutes of solid nothing before I have to leave.

hello
I'm 2 weeks into a gym and I ran into a bit of a problem
my gym brah who has 1 year of experience and is a medicine student insists that I don't do SS because that way I don't do enough exercises and I won't grow much
Instead, he asks me to do exercises at the machines (chest/back/biceps) and squat 3 or 4 series of each thing I'm doing that day until failure.
Should I do whatever I read on the SS wiki or follow my brah's advice?

Age plz

read the book and make up your own mind.

Fuck it.
Go to club, do not dance until girl is drunk. Focus on having FUN no deep conversations. Just chillax, try to continue the carvibe because that's what she liked.
Only deep subjects if she starts it
Only dance if you are both drunk enough to not give a shit or judge the other person

/fit/, what do you do when you have lost all motivation?
A year and half ago I was training a minimum of 3-4 times a week, I was on /fit/ all the time and I was learning all the time.
Fast forward 6 months and I had dropped out of my sports science degree and as coaching was over I was just bumming around the house.
So for the last year it's pretty much that, just bumming around, working a few hours here or there but besides that not doing much but eating, I've gained 4 - 5kg of fat, Vidya and TV takes up most of my time and the lifting has gone down to a...

Take it easy man, don't be so hard on yourself. Can you tell me what program you were doing, what were your goals and what is your current weight?
Go watch an hour long documentary on Navy seals going through BUD/s training.
Does anyone know how to lose weight off like.. like a particular area of your body? Like if I wanted to lose weight from my gut wouldn't it theoretically be faster to just keep the other weight in other places?
My friend does physiology and he said to ask a fitness forum because it seems like a good thing to know how to do
I was wondering this also
Sick thread bro !! But no, I don't know.
Has anyone here managed to get a better/deeper/gruffier voice? If so, how?
It sucks being big and looking intimidating but when you speak you sound like a duck with the flu.
You cannot change it. Your voice is formed from the geometry of your cavities and vocal chords.

I went from a heldentenor to a dramatic baritone from age 18 - 21, don't know how it happened but it did.
Cigarettes and whisky.

I love fit white women
Couldn't find any in the catalog, so, here's a new one
First:
I was lifting for almost a year, lifts were somewhat good (from what strength standards had shown me), but then I injured my ankle and my shoulder, had to stop lifting for 4 months, lost 5 kgs.
I'm starting over now, should I go a beginner's routine like SS to make a good foundation or just go to something more advanced like Mad Cow? I feel that my lifts have probably gone down a lot. Right now I'm 5'9/1,75m, 154 lbs/70 kg.
Do pull up bars only fit in certain doors? or is that shit adjustable?
>>35042595
I was doing 65kg bench, 5 sets of 5, then my partner was away for a week so i went down to 55 and did 10 sets of 5, i've done this since then going up each time and today did 10 sets of 5 at 62.5kg. is that better than 65kg 5x5? has that built more strength than 65kg 5x5 would have today?
For IF i usually have 5-7 hour feeding periods depending on how my day flows (if i can go for the 5 i will). We eat later today but it will be after my feeding period is over. Can i extend my feeding period to like 10-13 hours for one day? Just eating like 50 cals every hour to keep me in digest mode all day so i don't shock my body with food 4 hours into my daily fast
Been doing 18/6 for probably 3 months now with no eating outside the feeding period. If it were up to me i just wouldn't go, but my senpai is expecting me.
What do? I cannot get away with...

I just finished my first month in the gym but I realised I can't afford it anymore. I've been told I should just buy kettlebells and I can work my entire body with them. Is this true?
no, it's a meme
>>35042412
what can you do with kettlebells that you can't do with an adjustable dumbbell?
you know why people don't use dumbbells for full body work?
because its garbage.
you can do full body cardio with kettlebells, sure... but not full body strength training.
