This place is toxic and after years of being a /fit/izen I'm finally gonna leave. The fedora memes are what really did it for me those will the cancer that kills this board.
Pic very related
best of luck to the rest of you.
Bye brah. Good luck. Glad for you. Everyone needs to leave 4chan and /fit/ altogether at some point. I hope to be there too one day.
>>31945650
Good call. I've left before, for over a year, didn't miss it a bit. I'll be leaving for good probably in the fall when school starts getting hard and my real future begins.
Best of luck in life breh

I've been coming here less and less as well. I used to like coming a couple years ago but now it's easily one of the worst boards
What advice would you give to your 18 years old self /fit/? Things to avoid? Things to do?
Both fitness and psychologically related.
I guess for me it is:
>Stop spending your entire day on the computer watching animu
>Go out and find some friends
>Lift
do an engineering degree instead

You have a good thing going in Ranger batt., don't fuck your future up by marrying the selfish bitch you're with. It will begin a chain reaction of horrible experiences and impossible choices. There's still time for you to do great things. You don't want to end up divorced, penniless, disgraced, and living in your mother's attic, do you? Trust me, you don't. Now man the fuck up and stay focused. You'll eventually find a woman who is worthy of you.

Man, you're imagining a problem where there isn't any really.
I know its hard and you think you are somewhat a loser for being a virgin for so long but you're not.
A lot of people have the same problem.
Don't dwell on it. Let it go, talk to people, maybe find a slut (just don't fall in love with her) and get it over with.
>>31946326
I don't know where to find that slut. I've been clubbing and talked to a hot girl but it seems like barely anyone actually hooks up. Most guys just go home empty handed.
I might try tinder but I legitimately have no pictures to use. There is no up to date picture of me in social situations.
>>31946352
What about your extended social circle?
I know some grills which at every party will try to strike a conversation with me and ask me for some advice or something and will later try to continue this conversation on FB.
Maybe you've got the same? It is easy to confuse with friendship though but you can always try - rejection is better than regret.
>Starting Strength
>squat every workout
>60% of volume on lower body
>glute/ham raises
Is this program designed for girls who "want a big booty"? Or submissive homosexuals? Why so much squatting relative to everything else?
It's just you, OP.
>>31947077
it's designed for people who want to gain strength at the expense of aesthetics
>>31947077
why don't you read the book to find out
Going to start Starting Strength tomorrow. Any tips?
How do I actually get into it? How should I prepare?
Starting Strength is a complete waste of time. Don't fall that fucking meme. Go talk to a trainer at your gym and let them suggest something, and immediately leave if it's starting Strength, though I highly doubt it'd be if he knows anything.

>Go talk to a trainer at your gym and let them suggest something
lol kill self
if you haven't read the book you're not doing "starting strength".
So how many of you here actually did SS?

Doing Greyskull
Sup /fit/.
Doing SL for 3 months now. Not completely untrained before. Stats (1RMs in kg):
OHP/BP/Rows/Squats/DL
45/80/60/110/120
182cm (5'11"+), 89kg (196lbs)
Questions:
>Cardio
What day did you do cardio in? I do AxBxACx, C is 30 min LISS. Trying to reach 30 min 5 k.
By the way, do you jog on forefoot, mid or heel?
>Accesories
What accesories do you add?
I add dips/flies and chin-ups on OHP/DL day and lat raises and pull-ups/CG cable rows on Bench/Row day. 4x8 rep range....

Didn't read :^)
I've done a program based on SL before, I can probably share some experiences.
>Cardio
It fucks with your gains unless you're just doing light cardio. I was walking relatively long distances every day to go places, but didn't do any real structured cardio. If your heart health is fine and your only goal is strength and/or aesthetics, then I don't see the point in doing cardio anyway.
>Accessories
I did 8x3 db curls, 5x5 bb rows, 8x5 bb shrugs. Looking back, I probably should...

One stop to snap city if your doing that shit, borderline crossfit tier.
I don't do them either. I don't really see a point in doing them unless your competing.
I'll just stick with squats, dls

damn straight, I'm in it to buidl some muscles not attempt complex motions and risk everything.
Bosu Ball squats
Can you honestly say that you'd rather leave work and go to the gym for an hour, only to come home and eat shit you dont like, rather than vegging out? Wouldnt you rather get off of work, crash out on your couch, smoke a bowl and drink a few beers before hitting up a qt 3.14 or some friends to go out later on? Do any of you actually enjoy this shit or are you just addicted to le meme culture that /fit/ness has become?
>smoking weed and beer every day
Yep. I hate going to the gym and I want to do all the things you said. There you go. Well, see you later
>>31930264
>Can you honestly say that you'd rather leave work and go to the gym for an hour, only to come home and eat shit you dont like, rather than vegging out?
Yes.
Occasionally I do veg out.
Oh btw, why do you assume we also don't have girls we can see? Or friends? And only degenerates go out mid week.
You wanna lift wanna be a man but u don't wanna fight? Every man must fight at least 3 times a year
I've helped people out of fights, but I've never been "in" a fight. It's kind of retarded and easily avoidable.

Have some friends who can hype you up. Hopefully they're not like my friends who do every goddamn thing they can to get in my way when trying to hit on a girl.
Alcohol helps too but I guess that's not as much of an option as a high schooler.
Honestly it is all in your head man. If you think to yourself what's the worst that can happen? She says she's not interested, big fucking deal. You won't die. Try to start up a conversation with a girl who is in your class maybe, have a subject to talk about
Read models by mark manson
My recent "pickup" line is
"Hey, I'm anon"
So /fit/, is there anything in the sticky you personally don't agree with?
idk I've never read it
>>31936886
Didn't read it, but apparently it says that cardio and eating less in general won't tone your body.
I can't read

What are the healthiest foods on earth and how much of them should I be eating?
There is actually a website dedicated to this called world's healthiest foods. They post pretty good information along with it.
i'm not sure about hair dryers but i know a guy who owns a factory a few towns over from where he lives that 24/7 inside has a thousand naked guys whacking off into a giant vat with a hose at the bottom of it that goes outside the factory, underground, back to his house and up to his room where he just sits and chugs cum all day.
