Went to to doctor, told her i had lost 6 kilos at the gym but had not been making progress for the last 2 weeks. Tells me to drop lifting and only do cardio, but "only for 40 minutes because anymore is a waste 2 hours of cardio and 40 minutes uses the same amount of calories "
This sounds unreal but as a profesional I listen to her advice is the doctor just wrong?
Also weird things and myths people tell you about exercise
>>36964794
she might have meant that 2 hours of walking could be about the same as 40 minutes of jogging
but, taking the quote at face value, it is completely false
doctor also said "lifting will make the muscles encapsulate fat and you wont lose weight"
I have heard at least 5 times in my life different people saying that your fat will turn to muscle so you must first become skinny then gain muscle.

Doctors don't know shit about fitness.
Long ago I made the grave mistake of letting myself get fat. Comfort eating is a hell of a drug. Well, to this day I'm paying the price.
At my height of about 5'11", my average weight would be 154, and I got to 211. After that, I managed to slim down to 141. One problem tho: the belly didn't go away. Why the fuck this is happening is my question to you, dear /fit/.
Searching around for this hasn't been very useful. 9 times out of 10, they say "there's no such thing as area fat, you lose all fat at the same time", which is...

You diabetic brah? Other than that you probably forfeited alot of muscle mass (if you had any) when you cut so much. Start working out and doing hiit. Also count your damn calories and stay away from sugar and fast food bullshit. Time you started looking at food as fuel not comfort.
>>36967525
What's your actual body fat? did you have it measured recently? is pic you recent? cuz it looks like 24+%.. you don't just need to loose weight, you need to build up some muscle.. gotta start lifting hard..
>>36967525
also, could be some sort of issue with liver.. get a physical exam.
My biology professor said that protein powder products are a marketing scam and don't actually work, is he wrong?
Yes, they work.
>>36964183
what exactly did he say about them?
why does he think theyre a scam?
It's just protein why the fuck would it not work? It isn't fucking anavar if that's what you're asking.
Fictional goal bodies thread?

Anyone one else just lifting for bane mode/dad mode? Eat what you want without overdoing it, lift when you can, but focus on your school/career first. Over the years, end up pretty big.

And live somewhere like this
This describes me perfectly except i didnt want a dad bod when i started. I miscalculated my tdee by almost 500kcal somehow and gained a fucking belly. Whatever though im sure im way stronger than i wouldve been clean bulking
Did you notice the holy moment of ascension when you had lifted enough to be worthy of the attention of high-test girls?

Is there any real benefit to cardio? Does it make you look any better by itself?
Also cardio thread what cardio are you doing for your cut?
Of course there is benefit. It makes you burn calories and gives you juicy calves
Don't fall for rippletits and all of the people here that say cardio is a meme
If you can't run you aren't /fit/
Cardio Is great for cutting weight if you dont mind in a deadperiod for muscle gains.
Strength will come, but slower if you run often.
Its great for the heart and melts bf.
Dont over do it or youll end up like a skelly

It's literally the God-Tier exersize.
The ideal weekly exersize routine in my opinion would be 3-4 days cardio, 1-2 days resistance weight training of some sort for example the gym, calisthenics or sports such as rowing.
>lose control, binge on apples, bananas and cranberries
>no deficit today
Goddamnit. Cutting general thread I guess.
It's ok, anon. I binged on strawberries and bluberries today. No regrets.
>start off 190
>cut down to 181
>have a couple cheat days, but remain in caloric deficit
>184
I know it's water weight from beer, and extra food still digesting from pizza, but fuck, feels bad man.
These threads are the perfect support group
>Tfw haven't lost a pound in 4 days
>Still seeing body progress tho and making lifting noob gains
>hey anon, have you heard of keh-toh?

Joke's on you, my gf knows keto is a meme.

But for real, i told my girl about keto and she said she would never try.

Hi friendos,
if i just had RD yesterday, and I feel really good today, is it fine to just do ID today?
Hey /fit/ can any of u give me a sample of your workout schedules?

I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol,...

Are 1.25lb plates worth buying for better upper-body progression?
1.25kg yes, lb no
>>36961517
wtf fuck no
>>36961525
>>36961541
>what is microloading
dyel?
>>36961517
yes. especially for things like OHP where even a 5lb progression can be too much once you've acquired all your noob gains
