skinnyfat
desk job for years
want to change diet and start squatting
is this ok for starting? if not recommendations? Not looking to spend over 75 to get started
no you will not achieve anything
just join a gym
lol no
if your not willing to invest $2k or so into a decent home gym, power rack or half rack, adjustable bench, oly bar, oly plates, you should just join a gym.

>>36581416
Yep, you're obese class 1 - 24-30% bodyfat.

Go somewhere with child care. I did this for the first 2 years of my daughters life. Plus when they start school they have no issues with you saying goodbye. It was a good experience. Also it almost never costs more than +5 dollars a month.

>5'9 194 lbs "Skinnyfat".
Yeah right, lose some weight, fatso.
attempting thread hijack--
21, King of Manlets 5'11 and 200 Lbs
I find it impossible to become motivated and yet none of my clothes fit anymore, how do I motivate myself fit?
>>36581416
>"skinnyfat"
brah...
>>36581221
2k is excessive, if you use amazon prime you can spend ~1200 and be perfectly set, although you will probably have to add 45s eventually.
>>36581416
Holy fuck man, you said you were skinnyfat not a fucking fat cow...
You can do some basic shit, but joining a gym would be better.
What about you buy a threadmill instead fattie
>>36581416
MAN THE HARPOONS
>>36581443
Why don't they fit? Did you get fat or did you get /fit/ and are now bored with it?
It's pretty much pointless anyway. For one, you're looking for motivation instead of cultivating discipline. You could stumble upon the most motivational thing ever and it'd be useless, cause you're not there mentally and the will to get shit done would be gone tomorrow at best.
Honestly, the only thing that works is forcing yourself to do the things you know you should be doing, but really don't feel like doing. Just take a deep breathe and go through the motions till it becomes habit. There's no magic trick.
People who seek motivation in the forms of captions and memes just end up adding "looking at motivational stuff online" to their other forms of procrastination and wasting more time.
If you absolutely need cheap equipment then go for an adjustable dumbell set. Modify SS for dumbells (goblet squats, straight leg deadlifts)
Most importantly, eat less, aim for 1500 calories per day. Log everything you eat.
>>36581542
Fair enough, also they dont fit because Im fat as all hell now.
>>36581416
Yah thats obese.
Skinnyfat is people that are your height and 50+lbs less, that have no muscle and a fat pouch on their stomach.
>>36581416
Are you absolutely fucking retarded?
How can you look at a picture of your own body and legimately question whether you are obese?
>>36581571
Meh, I used to be 330 pounds brah, it's never too late. I've got an inch on you, but after cutting and lifting for 2-3 years I look awesome in clothes at 205lbs. I've got some loose skin which I'll get rid of, but that shouldn't be a problem for you at all.
>>36581416
Dude, you've got pregnancy stretchmarks. Yes, you're fat. Not trying to demotivate you, but you gotta acknowledge an issue if you're gonna fix it. Get to cutting till your stomach is not protruding in from of dem titties, then get rid of dem titties, than make sure you can put on a fitting pair of jeans and sit down without your asscrack showing.
>>36581583
It's sometimes hard to realize how fat oneself has gotten. When I was overweight, I didn't realize exactly how overweight I was until I lost the weight.
Then again, I never claimed to be "skinnyfat", that would indeed be "fucking retarded".
>>36581705
You said in your post that you were skinnyfat, how fucking retarded can you be?
>>36581751
It might be a different anon, anon.
>>36581751
I am not OP, you mongoloid.
I'm 6'1, 150lbs, quite far from a fat fuck.
>>36581804
You and OP could fuse and make 2 normal people.
>>36581820
Yes, I'm a skinny fag at the moment, I know. But I just finished dieting down from fat fuck physique.
If muscle memory is a thing and not just broscience, I should be back to my old /fit/ high school physique in "no time."
>>36581916
should have lifted while cutting
>>36582078
I should have, but it was something I wasn't serious about at first. I just started cutting out pop from my diet, and then I cut out some other stuff, before I knew it I wasn't obese, nor overweight, anymore.
It's not that big of an issue though, I'll probably make sick gains at the gym when I start lifting soon.
>>36581192
dude just buy a kettlebell and a rowing machine. when you have time just go jogging in the morning's, then when you get a little more in shape start investing in a squat rack and barbells. don't buy this cheap shit
>>36582173
also just buy secondhand if you really cant afford it. nothing wrong with used gear as long as it's in good condition
>>36582229
>>36582173
thanks for the advice but we are going to get a membership at the Y. they have full facilities and a nursery/daycare included with membership
>>36582249
sounds good, gl bro
>>36581192
I'm new but i've been building my home gym since january you'll want a FID bench. I bought the standard 1 inch barbell and all my weights dumbells and EZ curl bar are standard 1 inch threaded. It can be a pain because some of the caps get fucky and wont screw on. But other than that theyre good just the bar is 15 Lbs as oppsed to a 45 pound oly. You'll need a 7 foot bar if you want to squat with a rack one day though but the 6 footer is good for bench deadlifts curls whatever. I say do it you'll need to invest more than 70 on the weights alone though. I've found deals on some classified websites but most people charge what brand new weights go for
>>36581192
